- "I said, boy, I've been around for a while. What you sell is indeed the freshest, but the price is too high. I'll discuss it with you. I want two baskets. Can you make it cheaper?" One hand is holding the vegetable basket, and the other hand is choosing among several rattan baskets.
"Yes, of course. You are our first customer when we open. How about giving you a 10% discount?" Tie Heng said with a smile.
"Well, then it's a fair price." The aunt also smiled, took out a silver coin and a bunch of copper plates from her purse, handed them to Tie Heng, and took away the two picks. rattan basket, and gave a kind reminder. "You three kids, be careful. If you have money, don't let those bad guys target you."
"Thank you, auntie, we will be careful." Tie Heng and the other three thanked them in succession, and the aunt wandered to other stalls.
"So much money!" After receiving the coins handed to them by Tie Heng, Chen Shuifa and Xiaodouzi touched them again and again, sighing.
The monetary system of the Daei Dynasty used copper plates and silver coins as the main currencies. The exchange rate between the two was generally between one hundred and one hundred and twenty to one. In addition, there are red money, purple money and the most precious spiritual jade money on it. The exchange rate between them is ten to one. Among them, Lingyu coins are often used as royal rewards and for special purposes, Purple coins are used for internal circulation in the court or banks, and Red coins are mostly used for large transactions. What ordinary people use most is copper coins. Take Xiaodouzi as an example. He has rarely seen silver coins from his adults since he was a child. Even Chen Shuifa, the wealthy businessman in the past, only received a few copper coins in the red envelopes he received during festivals. So having so many coins as their first real money earned by themselves was enough to make them excited and happy.
¡°Several people came over to ask about the price, and within two meals, the remaining mushrooms were swept away. One of them, a middle-aged woman who looked like a cook from a wealthy family, bought four small rattan baskets in one go without even paying back the price. Before leaving, she asked them if they would come back to set up a stall in a few days. Chen Shuifa naturally took pictures The breasts are guaranteed to come every day.
"Hey, Brother Heng, is this what you call high-end?" Seeing Tie Heng nod, Chen Shuifa recalled: "This is a wealthy family, and the same is true for the wealthy businessman I was in. Everything you buy must be mixed with The common people are different. It seems that only in this way can they show their nobility. Hehe, it is an advantage for us."
"Okay, stop giggling, collect the money, and let's go buy some food for the brothers." Tie Heng lifted the bluestone on the ground, put it back in place, and called the two boys to the market. Go outside.
Xiaodouzi caught up and scratched the top of his head. "Brother Tie Heng, this money is so easy to make! I don't think I have to farm anymore. I can pick mushrooms every day and learn how to weave rattan baskets. Even if I can earn two or three silver dollars a day by setting up a stall, it will be fast. It¡¯s comparable to my father¡¯s income from renting land and growing crops for half a month.¡±
"Xiaodouzi is right. It is definitely more cost-effective for us to make money this way than farming. Alas, the main reason is that the landowners are too dark-hearted. The rent charges are 50% or more. Ordinary farmers cannot save so much money in a year." Chen Shuifa also echoed.
"You think too simply. Let's not talk about the influence of the season and whether the tax collectors will come to cause trouble for us. The wisdom of the working people cannot be underestimated." Tie Heng shook his head.
"Brother Heng is saying that this little rattan basket method will be learned by others?" Chen Shuifa was the first to react.
"Well, smart people will recognize this kind of marketing method at a glance. I think it won't be long before there will be a lot of such products on the market. Ordinary fruits and vegetables are not suitable, but some more valuable goods can be used. If it comes to packaging, then we will have no business. So in the recent period, we have taken advantage of the opportunity to make more money, so that we will not have to wade into this muddy water in the future."
Hearing what Tie Heng said, both Chen Shui and Xiaodouzi fell into silence. Tie Heng ignored them and just kept watching. Now that I have some free time, I have a deeper understanding of the prosperity of this metropolis. The streets are full of people, and there is an endless flow of people. Looking at the clothes, faces, and expressions of these people, it is obvious that they all live a rich life and exude vitality. There are rows of antique houses on both sides of the road, shops and restaurants can be seen everywhere, and factories and workshops are also doing a prosperous business, which is a prosperous scene.
Tie Heng searched for memories that were not his own and gained a better understanding of the current situation of the Darong Dynasty. The Darong Dynasty is naturally not as powerful as the once powerful Shengwu Dynasty, but it has been more than two hundred years since its founding. It ruled the vast territory of the thirty-three states in Middle-earth, and continued to expand outwards. At one time, everyone in the world was It is believed that the Daiei Dynasty will regain the power of the Celestial Dynasty. It is a pity that during the Great Shattering Period more than 80 years ago, in the face of the overwhelming demons, millions of elite soldiers of the Daei Dynasty, as well as countless loyal ministers, good generals and able men and women fought successively, although they were able to defeat the demons?He also suffered heavy losses.
The weakening of the central imperial power has led to the rise of powerful factions in many places. Then there were decades of war, and eventually several states and local separatist forces were formed, controlled by three major princes and kings and four major factions. Although the Darei Dynasty has gone through the unremitting efforts of four generations of wise kings in the past few decades, especially the consolidation of military power, the establishment of the Metropolitan Governor's Palace, and the creation of the Twelve Heavenly Guards, elite soldiers directly under the emperor's jurisdiction, to replace The legions that used to guard various places fought against the brave nomads in the north and the ferocious desert empires in the west, while also deterring local forces with evil intentions. This is why in the past few decades, despite the constant secret friction between all parties, large-scale wars have never been ignited, and this is why the people have such a peaceful and prosperous atmosphere.
Thinking about it, Tie Heng and the others had already reached the edge of the market. Tie Heng looked up and found a ready-to-wear shop among the many signs. After thinking about it for a moment, he walked in with Chen Shuifa and Xiaodouzi. In addition to changing into some suitable old clothes, trousers, shoes and socks for themselves, they also bought more than 20 sets to take back to other orphans to replace. For this reason, they also bought a pair of second-hand poles to carry the clothes. Walk among them.
After that, the three of them bought a lot of daily necessities, while Chen Shuifa held on to the remaining money, shaking his head and sighing. "It's not easy to make money, but spending money is like running water. In just a short time, more than half of it has been used up."
"We haven't bought anything to eat yet!" Xiaodouzi interrupted at an inappropriate time, causing Chen Shuifa to sigh again.
But Tie Heng didn¡¯t care. In his opinion, money is just for spending. In a blink of an eye, he saw several children walking and eating sesame seed cakes on the street, not to mention how delicious they looked. Hearing shouts from the front of the street again, Tie Heng called to Chen Shuifa and Xiaodouzi. "That sesame cake shop is doing good business, let's go over and have a look."
As he spoke, he picked up the pole and strode forward. Chen Shuifa and Xiaodouzi hurriedly followed.
¡°Boss, how much does your sesame seed cake cost?¡± Tie Heng asked the shop owner who was busy at the stove. Chen Shuifa and Xiaodouzi were deeply attracted by the sesame cakes placed on the counter. Their noses smelled the alluring aroma, their saliva overflowed uncontrollably, and their throats could only keep sliding up and down.
"Sesame sesame cakes, two copper coins, how many do you want?" the middle-aged boss asked cheerfully.
"Fifty." Tie Heng slapped a silver coin in front of the boss. "You put it away."
The boss was stunned for a moment, then answered with a smile on his face. "Okay! Fifty big sesame seed cakes. Wait a minute, little brother. I'll wrap them up for you when this one comes out."
"There's no rush." ??Tie Heng replied with a smile. He turned his head and ordered to Chen Shuifa, who was still swallowing his saliva. "Shuifa, when you return to the camp, you will send the remaining two coins to the guard team leader together with the wild fruits picked today."
"Thisit's not necessary! I think it's enough to give them some fruits as a tribute." Looking at the two silver coins left in his hand, Chen Shuifa was naturally reluctant to part with them.
"Do you think they know what we are doing? We have to look at their faces in the camp, so we must not offend them. We can only spend money to buy peace. Just do as I say!" Tie Heng shook his head and insisted.
"Okay! It's up to you." Chen Shuifa was unwilling to give in, but after thinking about it carefully, it was indeed the truth, so he agreed.
¡°Brother, take these fifty large sesame biscuits.¡± The owner of the sesame biscuit shop and a waiter personally delivered the two stacks of sesame biscuits to Tie Heng and the others.
"Thank you, boss." Tie Heng and the others put the sesame cakes into poles, and Tie Heng carried them toward the east gate of the city.
They joked and joked all the way, and soon arrived at the city gate, but they heard the sound of galloping horses and the sound of people fleeing in panic from behind. They also hurriedly moved to the side of the road. A group of majestic knights galloped past on the avenue, passed through the city gate, and disappeared into the distance in the blink of an eye. Only the huge cloud of dust slowly dispersed, and the surrounding people returned to their previous liveliness, but no one dared to yell or criticize.
"Wow! They are the soldiers of the Imperial Guard of the Capital." Xiaodouzi shouted excitedly, jumping up and down while still looking outside the city gate.
"Hey! I don't know what happened, but the Tianyuwei people came to our Fuzhou. Early the morning before yesterday, the Tianyuwei people came to search the camp, seeming to be looking for some important fugitives. Alas I hopeI hope the world is peaceful and there must be no war, otherwise we ordinary people will be the unlucky ones." Chen Shuifa muttered in a low voice at the end. These ordinary people are also well aware of the conflicts between the imperial court and the three major vassals and other local separatist forces. Ming, and what they fear most is the raging weapon war.
Xiaodouzi has little experience, so he doesn¡¯t have as many worries as he does, and is still immersed in the previous excitement. "The cavalry that just passed by, look at the emblem on the flag, it is the Flying Bear Guard among the twelve guards. That is General Yue of the Zhu Kingdom.Mr. Shen¡¯s subordinates"
Yue Chen has been in charge of soldiers for many years and is the oldest among the twelve guards of Tianyu. He has fought in all directions and won the hearts of the people. His reputation is naturally extremely prominent.
"I heard that not only the Flying Bear Guard came to our Fuzhou, but also the Qilin Guard dispatched a large number of troops." Chen Shuifa said with a smile. "It's a pity that General Gu Shuihan never showed up. Otherwise, those big girls and young wives would have swarmed in and trampled the streets."
Hearing this, Tie Heng also smiled and said to himself: "This is very likely to come true. Gu Shuihan's handsome appearance and unique temperament are enough to make any woman crazy."
The three of them passed through the city gate and returned to the woods before noon. To their surprise, there were several bonfires burning on the grass at this moment, filled with the aroma of meat. It turns out that these guys left a lot of simple traps in the woods yesterday. After practicing this day, I stopped by to check them while collecting food, and found that they caught a lot of good things in one night. Although there are no big prey, there are enough pheasants, hares, frogs, gophers and the like for everyone to share. There were also a few brave boys who actually caught several snakes. Peel off the skin, swallow the snake gall in one piece, and roast the snake meat over a fire. It is still a delicacy.
When Tie Heng and the others distributed the clothes and sesame sesame cakes they bought to everyone, these orphans all jumped up and shouted long live. For a moment, they didn't know whether to put on the "new" clothes first or eat a delicious meal first. pause.
"Brother Heng, this is how everyone respects you. Although you don't want to accept us as apprentices, we still regard you as our master." Several boys gathered around and brought a roasted plump pheasant to the iron In front of Heng, he respectfully asked him to eat first.
Tie Heng was quite touched. He didn't show any pretense, he accepted it calmly and said, "Thank you!" He opened the pheasant's mouth and chewed it. Suddenly, there was only the sound of cheering and laughter in the woods, just like the childhood these children deserved
