After finding a random restaurant to settle dinner, Qianzhou returned to the hotel or inn.

Considering the possibility of the sandstorm lasting, Qianzhou first set a five-day appointment, and then canceled or renewed it according to the situation.

Because the lower-grade rooms were all set by the caravans, Qianzhou could only book a high-priced room. Fortunately, with the savings of Yundu Teaching and Professor Finn's legacy, Qianzhou's financial situation is quite well-off.

"Speaking of currency, I remember......" Qianzhou tapped his head lightly, recalling his own setting.

The monetary system used by the Qin State, or the mainstream countries of the world, was the "gold standard". To be precise, it is the "gold bar standard" and the "gold exchange standard." ”

Although the gold bullion standard and the gold exchange standard both stipulate that gold is the monetary standard, they only stipulate the gold content of the monetary unit, and do not mint gold coins, so as to realize the circulation of bank rolls (that is, commonly known as "money" and "currency").

The other differences and existential meanings between the two are only a generation in the book, after all, few readers will be interested in these things.

Although after adopting the gold standard monetary system, Qianzhou could not experience the pleasure of smashing his face with a bag full of gold coins, but at the same time, he also avoided the dilemma of carrying more than a dozen catties of metal on his body during a trip. (Gold coins minted under the coin standard are not pure gold)

And if it really comes time to trade, Qianzhou thinks that he doesn't have the ability to judge the purity of gold just by his teeth.

But then again, I remember that my chemistry teacher said in class that you could use tungsten to fake gold coins, and the proportions of the two were very similar......

Shaking his head, Qianzhou emptied the cranky thoughts in his mind and lay directly on the bed.

The wooden room had a wooden bed, a wooden table, and two chairs. The bedding and floor are fairly clean and there is no smell. On the table, the store also thoughtfully placed a small mirror.

But what satisfies Qianzhou the most is that the place has been electrified, and a bright incandescent lamp hangs in the center of the room.

Because he couldn't swipe his mobile phone and couldn't get happiness from sand sculpture netizens, Qianzhou simply turned off the lights early and prepared to sleep.

"Good dreams. Qianzhou said to himself, "Forget it, it's better not to dream." ”

Nothing was said all night.

............

"Buckle".

There was a knock on the door early the next morning, but according to Qianzhou's previous habit, he had to sleep until noon. Thinking that he was indeed fine, Qianzhou simply ignored the knock on the door.

"Buckle buckle. ”

Qianzhou ignored it, and the knock on the door became more urgent, and there was a momentum of never leaving if he didn't open the door.

"It's coming. Qianzhou reluctantly got out of the quilt, got dressed, pinned the fragment into the cuff, and then went to open the door.

"Squeak. The wooden door opened.

"Qianzhou?" The girl outside the door winked at Qianzhou in some surprise.

Compared with yesterday, Jiang Qinghan's long hair has been put down, a ponytail has been tied with a ribbon with a bean green pattern, and the skirt has been replaced with an elegant beige. With a little tear mole under her left eye, the girl in the morning light is really radiant, looking forward to life. (Bean green: one of the four famous peony products, the flowers are green)

Qianzhou, who was still a little sleepy, woke up all of a sudden.

"What is this for?" Qianzhou looked behind Jiang Qinghan with some confusion.

I saw Jiang Qinghan followed by three soldiers in black uniforms and rifles - this should be the border army stationed in Luntai.

"It's just a routine check on outsiders. ”

Qianzhou secretly rolled his eyes.

What about the liars, did the border soldiers used for routine inspections come forward? Could it be that my identity was exposed? Jinyiwei didn't spare his hands so quickly.

Qianzhou was worried in his heart, and at the same time he was ready to escape.

The three soldiers were ordinary people, but it was not excluded that the guns were loaded with special alchemical bullets. Jiang Qinghan should also be a dragon gate step, but I haven't fought with the real dragon gate, so I have a headache.

Although he had already prepared for the worst in his heart, Qianzhou still cooperated and took out his identity certificate.

This certificate was obtained in Yundu through An Zhe's connections, and at the same time, Qianzhou also held a letter of appointment from Yundu University, as well as letters of recommendation issued for him by several professors after hearing that he was going to Xizhou.

At this time, these things have become a strong proof of Qianzhou's identity.

"No problem. After the inspection, the three soldiers left, but Jiang Qinghan stayed.

"Did something happen to Luntai?" asked Qianzhou straight to the point.

The girl did not respond positively, but asked with a smile, "Have you had breakfast?"

"Nope. ”

"Coincidentally, so did I. ”

Qianzhou sighed: "Then can I invite this girl to have breakfast together?"

Soon, the two of them were sitting in the lobby downstairs.

Breakfast is two bowls of Yangchun noodles. The snow-white noodles are served in a dark porcelain bowl, topped with a thick layer of chopped green onions and chili peppers, and poured with hot oil. Paired with a small plate of slightly spicy beef, it is enough to drive away the lethargy after waking up.

In line with the principle of "food is silent", neither of them spoke.

It wasn't until after eating the noodles that Jiang Qinghan asked seriously, "Do you really want to know about this matter?"

Qianzhou got tangled.

Although there are admonitions such as "the more you know, the faster you die" and "curiosity kills cats" in various works, Qianzhou just can't suppress his curiosity.

You must know that Qianzhou used to play games without eliminating all the exclamation points on the map, and if he didn't go through all the side plots, he would never go to the next map. The various death options will also be definitely clicked.

After struggling for a long time, Qianzhou finally nodded: "I want to know, but if there is anything you can't say, don't tell me." ”

"There's nothing to keep secret. Jiang Qinghan began to speak.

"The commander of the Luntai Border Army is a senior sister who graduated from a military family in the academy. Because a teacher asked us to bring something for that sister, the three of us went to visit her last night. It turned out that I happened to hear a message. ”

"What's the news?"

"Tiangong Pavilion and the academy have cooperated to produce a batch of new equipment. Because it was still in the experimental stage, 30 samples were sent to the military for trial. As a result, he was robbed as soon as he arrived in Luntai last night. ”

"Does anyone dare to touch the military's things?" Qianzhou was a little surprised.

"Who's to say it isn't. Things go through the secret channels of the military, and it stands to reason that there will be no leaks. As a result, one of the 'dragon gates' and two 'cornerstones' that transported things died. Death is silent. ”

"And what are you doing in the morning?" asked Qianzhou again.

"Thanks to the wind and sand in the white desert, it is impossible to transport things out overnight. The military closed the city last night, and this morning it screened all the outsiders in the city. Because there are not many transcendents in the army, my senior sister asked the three of us to follow the border army to investigate the transcendentals. It just so happens that you're the last, at least on the surface. ”
