Pondering these miscellaneous matters, Li Chengyi and his two companions successfully paid their way into the county city.
They walked along a street that was much busier than the town's.
"We'll find a place to live first, then go to register," Wang Yifeng said with a smile. "I've found a place for you in advance. It's a house vacated by an old friend of mine, and he's renting it to us for a bargain—just twelve taels of silver a year."
At roughly a ten-to-one currency exchange rate, this was one thousand two hundred a year, which was, of course, easy for Wang Yifeng.
His annual salary was nearly thirty taels of silver, not to mention other unofficial incomes.
All in all, he could earn as much as fifty taels a year.
"I've already paid your rent for the first year. After that, it's up to you to pay it with your salary. Understand?" Wang Yifeng reminded him.
"Understood," Li Chengyi nodded.
