    Being fooled by this super idiot, Mr. Cheng, Li Feng could only shake his head with a wry smile.  Well, judging from this guy's style and personality, as well as everyone's reaction, especially the performance of Young Master Wang just now, this guy's background is definitely not simple.  Who is this guy?

    Although Li Feng was quite interested in the identities of these two fools, he wisely did not ask anyone about them, but quickly ran into the carriage.

    First, although he knew that the other party was not a liar, he still wanted to see where his money was.  More importantly, the eyes full of envy, jealousy and hatred from those around him really made Li Feng a little unbearable.

    ¡° Seeing Li Feng enter the carriage, Lao Tie quickly led Lao Niu to the carriage, straightened his dark face, looked around with fierce eyes, and started guarding.

    "Three hundred guan, three hundred guan, this guy who got lucky has really made a fortune."

    "Isn't that right? I only make a little money a year. No, I have to go hunting. I'm lucky"

    "You are the only one who still wants to hunt bears. Bullshit, I think feeding the bears is just fine. Indeed, this guy is really lucky. Normally, this bear would only survive a few dozen blows before it dies."

    ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s when I met the third son of Lu Guogong¡¯s family. Hey, he is such a fool. He also gave me a carriage and a good horse for free. Zhizhi"

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    In fact, as soon as Li Feng turned around, he started to hear bursts of discussion from behind.

    "It turns out that this guy's father is actually the Duke, no wonder. Well, wait a minute, Duke Lu, isn't this this damn guy the famous Cheng Yaojin? Good guy, this stupid guy,  He is actually Cheng Yaojin's son, no wonder Young Master Wang is so afraid of him."

    Hearing the commotion behind him, Li Feng finally knew who the stupid boy was.  Although Li Feng doesn't like anything related to history, he still knows the name Cheng Yaojin.

    However, after seeing the money in the carriage, Li Feng quickly forgot everything.  To be honest, it wasn't that Li Feng had never seen money, or that he was obsessed with money, but the scene in front of him was really amazing.

    ??The shiny new copper coins, and the silver ingots that emitted this silver light, covered half of the carriage carriage, which was really dazzling.

    Li Feng counted a total of fifty strings of copper coins and twenty-five silver ingots.

    Li Feng immediately picked up a shiny silver ingot and played with it carefully.  To be honest, Li Feng has never seen this thing before.  In the previous era, all the coins used were paper money.  Even in this era, Li Feng has only seen copper coins a few times, and they are scattered.

    "Whoever dares to be arrogant in front of me, I will use money to smash him to death"

    When Li Feng picked up a bunch of copper coins, he couldn't help but think of such a heroic saying.

    This string of copper coins is consistent. A thousand copper coins weigh at least six or seven kilograms. It is definitely heavy enough to hit people.  As for the cost of this car, it is at least more than three hundred kilograms.  No wonder the other party wanted to use a horse-drawn carriage to pull it.

    "Actually, this is just because Li Feng has never seen the world. This is just a little money.  He didn't even think about it. Many wealthy families have tens of thousands of dollars, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. Nowadays, wealthy families basically use rooms to store money.

    Think about it, a room full of money would be spectacular.

    "Little madman, get out of the car quickly, I'll catch the bus, let's get out of here quickly"

    Suddenly he heard Lao Tie's anxious voice coming from outside the carriage. Li Feng was suddenly startled and secretly cursed himself for being so worthless.  Now is not the time to look at money, it is better to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

    Li Feng has never done driving a carriage, and Lao Tie also knows that Li Feng is not good at it.  Therefore, Lao Tie immediately sat in front of the carriage and drove the carriage forward. Of course, Li Feng led the old cow and followed closely behind the carriage.

    These days, no bank says so.  A bank? Yes, there is one.  However, for the vast majority of people, they basically will not save money in a bank.

    First of all, people are worried.  Not to mention whether the money can be withdrawn after it is deposited in the bank.  Just say that if another war suddenly breaks out, the money will definitely be lost.  It's safer to keep it at home. Whenever you run away, take the money and run away.

    There is another important reason, that is, the money banks at this time were not like those of later generations.Same as a bank.  Deposit the money in the bank and you'll get some interest.  And this Datang bank is great. Not only does it have no interest, but you also have to pay it a storage fee. Who would want to deposit their hard-earned money in it?

    ?Perhaps, in the eyes of modern people, this is very funny.  However, in the Tang Dynasty, that was absolutely natural.

    Think about it, it¡¯s risky for these people to keep money.  There is another important reason. This metal currency will inevitably suffer losses over time.  There is no management fee, is it possible?

    Therefore, it can be said that in these days, there is only one kind of customer for the bank, and that is the businessman who travels all over the world.  The only function of the bank is to exchange the money that merchants deposit into the bank into banknotes unique to the bank.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Li Feng and the others finally returned to Jianghu Village smoothly.  It seems that the public security in the Tang Dynasty is still good, Li Feng thought.

    To be honest, he was really afraid of encountering someone who would rob someone on the road and then kill him and silence him.

    "A lot of money, and silver, silver"

    When Li Feng moved all the money from the carriage to the table at home.  Both Rou Niang and Yaya stared blankly at the pile of glittering money.

    However, little Yaya quickly realized what she was doing, and rushed to the pile of money with a loud shout. With trembling hands, she held up a silver ingot, her eyes sparkling.

    "Brother Li, thisthis money"

    And Rou Niang also looked like she couldn't believe her eyes. She pointed at the pile of money with a little trembling and asked Li Feng.  Not only Xiao Yaya has never seen such a large amount of money, but even Rou Niang has never seen it.

    It¡¯s like putting a big box with a red old man in front of an ordinary person, and you can imagine the look on his face.

    "Well, this money is from selling bears. You can collect it later, Rou Niang. You can take care of our family's money. Well, by the way, I bought some fabrics for you and Yaya to make two suits for you.  clothes"

    When he heard this, Li Feng actually told him to put the money away and let him keep it.  Today Rou Niang surprisingly didn't say anything, but responded very obediently with a blushing face.

    At this time, Li Feng didn't have the leisure time to look at the money. To be honest, he was very depressed. He really felt like crying without tears. He had money but no place to spend it.

    Actually, before coming back, Li Feng still took a short walk around Chang'an City, despite Lao Tie's urging.  In addition to buying fabrics for Yaya and Rou Niang, the most important thing is that Li Feng wants to see what good things are on sale in the bustling Chang'an City.

    However, after this round, Li Feng was very depressed.

    After buying the fabric, his first stop was the grain stores.  He went there not to buy food, but to find rice seeds.

    Li Feng is very clear about the development history of rice in China.  To say that this was the best rice variety before the advent of hybrid rice, it should belong to Champa rice.

    Champa rice is named after its place of origin, Champa. According to modern maps, Champa is located in central and southern Vietnam.  At this time, this area belonged to the Tang Dynasty and was called Linyi County.

    What depresses Li Feng is that after searching almost all grain stores, he couldn¡¯t find a few grains of rice, let alone rice, and it was also extremely expensive.  In the end, Li Feng spent a lot of money and paid a large deposit, and they agreed to bring him some rice seeds the next time they purchase goods.

    And next, the place where Li Feng ran was the vegetable market.  To live a good life, you must first eat and drink well. Li Feng has always believed this.

    Unfortunately, this time, he was even more depressed.  Let¡¯s not talk about anything else, let¡¯s just talk about this pork. It¡¯s not sold.  Isn't this a joke?  Although there is a lot of beef and mutton, Li Feng, who comes from modern times, is really not used to the lack of pork.

    How can there be no pork for sale?

    Regarding Li Feng¡¯s doubts and confusion, the old man explained it to him before he knew what was going on.

    In this era, there was pork, and some people raised pigs.  However, it is still difficult to buy pork.  It is absolutely impossible to buy pork in Chang'an City.

    Pork, in this day and age, is a super junk meat that only the poor eat.  How could city dwellers like these in Chang'an eat this?  Therefore, it is strange that you can buy pork here.

    " Moreover, in these days, there is less pork, because there are very few people raising pigs.

    Except for those families with a very surplus labor force, almost no oneThe family raises pigs.  Think about it, basically every household has at least a hundred acres of land. They don¡¯t have time to take care of the work on the land. How can they still have time to raise pigs?

    Secondly, raising pigs is very uneconomical.  It¡¯s not easy to sell, the price can¡¯t be paid, and it takes a lot of work.  It's not as cost-effective as raising cattle and sheep.  Especially when it comes to raising sheep, you only need to send a child to graze, and usually, you can also shear sheep and milk sheep.  It's not like raising pigs, you can only kill them for meat.

    In fact, according to Li Feng¡¯s understanding, this is why there were so few people raising pigs in the Tang Dynasty.  The biggest problem is that the total production of food in society is not enough.  You said, this person doesn¡¯t have anything to eat, how can I give you a pig to eat?

    In short, in one sentence, it will be very difficult for Li Feng to eat pork after this.
