Chapter 962
The fortune-tellers said: "A thousand taels of gold is a lot. Unless you are an official and accept bribes, you can only do business, and it is not an ordinary small business. It must be a big business to make so much money. How much money does Fellow Daoist have?"

"Twelve taels of silver."

"Ten taels of silver is not too much, and less is not too much. But if you want to earn a thousand taels of gold, it is almost impossible, but you can try your luck."

luck?Suddenly Tianya's eyes lit up. Master often said that luck is also a part of strength. If the money is earned by good luck, then no one dares to say anything, even Xiang'er must nod.

"You can tell me how to get lucky."

"Pimpedao can think of a few ways for you, such as gambling. Small gambling can buy fields and land, and big gambling can make a fortune. As long as you are skilled in gambling, you can get together a thousand taels of gold in a short time." The fortune teller almost concluded that Tian Ya was here to make trouble, so this was also a joke.How could ten taels of silver win thousands of taels of gold?Even if you win, there is no way the casino will let you live to spend your money.What's more, how many casinos can lose so much money?
"No, the state owns the state law, and the family has family rules. The first rule of my family is that you must never gamble." Tian Ya felt a little regretful about this, and finally someone else helped him think of a reliable way, but because of his own reasons, this The method cannot be used.

Tianya's most admired people throughout his life were his father and master. Tianya basically remembered all the religious things, and Tianya would never forget the principles taught by Guo Wei.

When Guo Wei was young, he suffered a lot of losses because of his love of gambling. His life was full of ups and downs. Finally, he met the Chai family, and then he quit gambling, and his life reached its peak.Since quitting gambling, Guo Wei had never gambled until the day he died. Therefore, Guo Wei had already established a family rule that people with the surname Guo or Chai must not gamble.

There are not many family rules in the Guo family, but no gambling is the absolute first rule, and no one dares to violate it, including his own son.

The fortune teller felt that this opponent was quite cunning, and even said that family rules forbid gambling, which was a good excuse.

"You don't need to gamble, anyway, there are a lot of luck in this world." The fortune-teller said with a chuckle: "There is another way for the poor, and that is to go to Taibai Mountain to dig old ginseng, which is in the Khitan territory. , the territory of the Privet clan, if you can escape the monitoring of Khitan and Privet and dig out a few old wild ginseng on Taibai Mountain, you will definitely make a fortune. As long as the year is old enough and the whiskers are intact, an old wild ginseng It is not uncommon to sell hundreds of taels or even thousands of taels of silver. It’s just that the privet tribe on Taibai Mountain also makes a living out of this, and they also need to exchange these old mountain ginseng for cloth and grain, so if someone goes to Taibai Mountain to dig ginseng, they will see Kill one by one."

Tian Ya nodded, this method is very practical.There is no need for capital, and it is not a gamble. As for the danger, it can be ignored. How powerful can the Privet Clan be?Xiang'er also said that when protecting herself, she can use the martial arts taught by her master, but in general it is a bit dangerous for one person to fight against a group of people...it is indeed dangerous.

However, Taibai Mountain is a bit far away. If Xiaobai is here, it will not be a problem, but now I only have ten taels of silver with me, and there is only a small Zeshui Beast by my side. I want to go to Taibai Mountain for a while and then come back , the time span is too large, maybe half a year or even a year.

"It's a little farther away, and it's very dangerous, is there any other option?
The fortune teller said: "It's not impossible, the danger is slightly less. You can borrow a little money to buy enough silk cloth to travel the Silk Road. You don't even need to sell it. You can directly exchange the silk cloth for the useless jade of the Uighurs. It is enough to transport the jade raw materials back to the Central Plains. It is not difficult to earn a thousand taels of gold by traveling two or three times. The danger of the Silk Road is slightly less, but the road is rough and the weather is extremely bad, and it is easy to get lost. Central Plains."

"Oh~ I know this. I just walked the Silk Road a few years ago. My health is fine, but I have no money now. How much silk can I buy with ten taels of silver? I'm afraid it's not even enough for the journey. .”

The fortune teller said: "That's why I said I need to borrow some capital."

Tianya was very interested in this proposal. Originally, it was a very fixed tradition for the Uighurs not to take the Silk Road, so the only way for the Central Plains to get high-quality Uighur jade was to take the Silk Road.Uighur jade is of high quality, and even a piece of scrap can be sold at a high price in the Central Plains.

Tianya sat at the fortune-telling stall and thought about it carefully. The fortune teller's words were still correct. There were only three ways to earn a thousand taels of gold, either as an official, a thief, or in business.The proposal of being a thief is directly passed, because I can't insult Master's reputation, and I can't do bad things.The second is to do business. Although I have some contacts, I have no capital on me, and of course I can't ask others to borrow money, so this plan is only PASS.

There are not many choices left in Tianya, the only way is to become an official.But... Tianya can't go to Chai Rong to give him an official position. He is already King Qi of Zhou Dynasty.

Since you can't be an official in Dazhou, you can go to other places to be an official.The Southern Tang Dynasty is definitely going to die, and he must never help others to beat his brother. The Northern Han Dynasty is too poor, and the Southern Han Dynasty is not rich.

Xishu is peaceful and prosperous, and because Liu Chengyou offended his master, the military of Xishu has not developed. With the death of Wu Yanhongyu, Xishu has basically been determined to be defeated.

But... Xishu is rich. It has not fought a war for so many years, and Xishu's finances have always been very rich.But now there is a shortage of talents in Xishu, so if you go to Xishu to show off a little bit, it is easy for someone to get an official position, and then use the position to make a fortune, so that you can have money to marry a wife.

Tian Ya nodded and said: "Thank you for your advice, Pindao is going to become an official now. I haven't been an official before, and I don't know what to do when I am an official."

Tian Ya stood up excitedly, then looked left and right, determined the southwest direction, and walked forward.

"Fellow Daoist, wait a minute, you haven't given Guajin yet."

Tian Ya chuckled and said: "You still want to ask me for money? How can you get money if you don't have a fortune teller at all? It was just a chat between the two of us just now. If you want money, you should count it for me anyway. You count me How much is your net worth?"

"Nonsense, didn't you just say ten taels of silver?"

"It's true that I only have ten taels of silver with me. You can calculate all my net worth. As long as you do the calculation correctly, all the ten taels of silver will be given to you."

The fortune teller counted carefully with his fingers, and suddenly he frowned, pinched his fingers back and forth several times, and kept shaking his head without saying a word.

"How about showing Pindao your palm reading?"

Tianya turned around again and showed his left hand to the fortune teller. The fortune teller's expression became increasingly weird and he kept looking at Tianya's left hand.

"Look at the right hand, too."

Tianya didn't refuse either, and spread out his right hand.The fortune teller's expression became even more strange, and at this time the fortune teller's expression could no longer express his heart, because his heart was broken.This young man who keeps saying he wants to make money... Judging from his palmistry and fortune, he is very rich, and he can even be said to be as rich as an enemy.

It is not surprising that a person is destined to be rich and powerful, or destined to be as rich as an enemy.The strange thing about the fortune teller is that what he has learned in his life seems to be wrong, because this person's fortune is too strange.

The left hand represents innateness. This person’s innate destiny shows that he was born rich, and even all the treasures in the world should belong to him. The right hand represents the day after tomorrow, while the right hand shows that the person will work hard, achieve extraordinary achievements, and become richer and richer. .

Is there such a person in the world?Already already wealthy, how hard work is far better than nature?How can this be?How rich does a person have to be to have this kind of palmistry?

Tian Ya chuckled and said, "Sir, can you do it? How much money do I have?"

"Judging from the palmistry... you are richer than the emperor. I have never seen this kind of palmistry before. Maybe I am not good at studying. I really can't tell." The fortune teller was also helpless. He couldn't see this person's appearance. As rich as he is, he has already said that he only has ten taels of gold, and he is trying his best to earn a thousand taels of gold to marry a wife.

"I have more money than the emperor? Daoist friends really like to joke. But since you think I am so rich, then I will share with you." Tian Ya took out a copper coin from his bosom, and then put it on the fortune-telling stand: "This penny You hang on to the cover, and when the poor Taoist gets rich and returns to Luoyang, he will exchange a hundred taels of gold for your cover, as far as today’s Gua gold is concerned, what do you think?"

"Okay... Anyway, I haven't figured out anything. After you get rich, you have to think about coming back."

"Farewell."

"Farewell."

Tian Ya turned around and left, but the fortune teller didn't force him to stay.He just suspected that he had made a mistake, but the fortune teller still believed in his own judgment.This person is destined to be very rich, maybe one day he will use a hundred taels of gold to buy this pretense.

Tianya had already wandered around all morning. Although the goal was Xishu, he had to fill his stomach first. After all, he hadn't eaten breakfast yet.So I came to a small shop with two fronts, ordered a jug of wine, two dishes, and a stack of small cold dishes.Ninety cash was spent, which is not a small amount, basically all the copper coins on Tian Ya were spent.

At this moment, Tianya was in a dilemma. He didn't know whether he should go directly to Xishu to make money, or stay in Luoyang and wait until Xiang'er got revenge before leaving.After all, she is the future wife, and she is going to kill people now. If no one is watching her, if something happens to her, and she loses her wife, how can she earn dowry money?

Although Xiang'er didn't let herself intervene in this matter, she didn't say she couldn't protect her secretly.After thinking about it, I decided to watch Xiang'er leave safely before getting up and going to Xishu.
