The little boy first looked around at him, and then looked down at himself in a panic, as if to confirm something.

When he looked up again, his eyes were full of disappointment.

Gao Jian was carefully observing the little boy's expression, guessing that he might have been looking for a soul bead just now.

"Are you awake?" Liu Zhen said.

"Where's Grandpa?" the little boy's voice was childish.

"Dead. ”

"You ...... Kill grandpa?" the little boy was thrilled and tried to break free from the rope, but soon found that he had no strength at all. After struggling for a while, the little boy finally calmed down as if he recognized the reality.

"Kid, tell my brother what's your name?"

"How old are you?"

"Where do you live?"

Liu Zhen asked a lot of questions again, but unfortunately the little boy didn't speak again.

Liu Zhen shook his head in front of him, signaling that he had no choice. This job was ordered to be done for him by Qianyan, but unfortunately it was not done well.

Qianyan had no choice but to come over in person.

"Little ghost, you are now my captive, just like them. I will sell you on this trip to Star City, and your best option now is to let your family spend money to redeem you, otherwise what will happen after that, you think about it. Qianyan said while holding the little boy's neck.

The boy gritted his teeth, still not speaking.

"Good, it's your own choice. Qianyan put down the little boy and returned to the passenger seat.

He didn't pity the little boy, but if he did, he might get some more ransom back. Of course, if the little boy's family is powerful enough, he will also find a way to avoid some trouble.

However, the little boy's silent appearance made people wonder if his family was almost dead.

After a few words, Qianyan had already analyzed the little boy's situation.

It is worthy of being in the human business.

......

......

The rest of the road was smooth, and after 10 days, the group saw the first town.

The town of X.

Being able to see the town proves that this place is very close to Star City, otherwise it would be difficult for such an ordinary small town to survive in Albis, where fierce beasts and robbers are rampant.

Here, Star City is covered!

"Let's go into the city, rest for the night, and continue our journey tomorrow. ”

Due to the temporary diversion, everyone has never walked this road before, so they are also scared, for fear of encountering something again.

Fortunately, there is no danger.

Now that they saw the town, the first reaction of Qianyan and the others was to rest for one night and then do some maintenance on the car.

After all, the consumption in small towns is lower than that in Star City, and poor people like them can save money.

No.

Wrong.

This is the wisdom of a businessman!

Who is said to be poor?

The carrier car soon drove into the toll gate, and foreign vehicles entered the town and had to pay a certain fee.

"Fifteen. A woman who looked to be in her twenties poked out of the toll gate, and Qian Yan was not surprised, and swiped a bracelet on the card reader, and a number -15 appeared on the display.

Gao Jian couldn't help but wonder, is the money easy to use here?

That's not right.

In Hongdu City, he uses paper currency, so there is no reason to change to a credit card after he comes out?

"Lao Liu, interpret the consumption mechanism?"

Gao Jian turned his gaze to Liu Zhen, the broken mouth next to him, hoping that the eldest brother could answer his doubts.

Although Liu Zhen has always been scolded by Gao Jian in the past few days, at this time, he still can't help but say a few words.

Without him, he loves to show off.

It's his shtie again.

"That's an electronic bracelet produced by Star City. From the beginning of this piece, Xingyuan is the universal currency. However, there are many restrictions in Star City, and there is very little cash currency circulation, and people usually use electronic money. Liu Zhen cleared his throat and said.

"It's all electronic money?"

"For the convenience of taxation. ”

"Convenient taxation?" Gao Jian discovered another new thing.

"Don't you understand how to collect taxes? Don't you earthlings need to collect taxes?" Liu Zhen once again despised Gao Jian.

Only when it was time for cultural science popularization, Liu Zhen had the opportunity to despise Gao Jian.

Usually he is a scared character.

"I understand taxation, but what does it have to do with electronic money. Gao Jian told Liu Zhen that he was from the earth before, Liu Zhen sighed, Gao Jian asked again, Liu Zhen told Gao Jian that he hadn't heard of it.

It's embarrassing, but it's the current state of Yalbis.

There are already many lower-level planes, and the earthlings have all appeared in the form of vassals before their ascensions, so it's normal that I haven't heard of it.

"E-money transactions make it easier to control taxes. It's useless for you to know so much now, when you arrive in Star City, the first thing you do is to train you about taxes and fees, and you can't even do it if you don't want to know when the time comes. ”

"As for now, all you need to know is that Star City is not too friendly to a weak force like you with no roots. ”

"If you earthlings have not settled in Star City, then even if you regain your freedom, your life in Star City will probably not be less difficult than the life of a prisoner of war in Red Capital City. Of course, you don't have to worry so much, after all, if you sell as a slave, you can be counted as a slave owner's power to determine the taxes. ”

Liu Zhen is very happy because he has discovered a new method.

In fact, he can leave half of his words and half of them, so that he can not only pretend to be suspenseful, but also not have to answer Gao Jian's questions, so that he can be anxious, and he will be able to kill multiple birds with one stone.

Gao Jian really listened.

Power?

Mo Chen had always said that power was very important, but he didn't say anything about the specific importance. Now Gao Jian is slightly concerned.

And what are the taxes?

Is it personal income tax?

According to Liu Zhen, it is to divide the earthlings into one force. Although I don't know why Liu Zhen regards paying taxes so important, Gao Jian faintly feels that Mochen's eagerness to form a force at that time may have something to do with this.

"What is the ratio of the exchange between Xingyuan and Hongdu City?" Gao Jian no longer bothered about taxes and fees, let's talk about it in Star City.

"1 to 1, Hongdu City originally issued currency with reference to the price of Star City. ”

"Oh. ”

Gao Jian nodded, it would be easier to adapt to the environment.

In Albis, the most basic currency is actually the spirit stone.

The so-called equal monetary value on both sides means that Star City can buy a 3-grade spirit stone for the same 10,000 yuan, which means.

The Kung Fu Carrier has already entered the city.

Qianyan felt sorry for the car, and the first step was to find a place to maintain the vehicle.

The town of the 10th is not big, and after asking around at the toll booth, it was easy to find the only 4S store in the town.

"Epic Poetry X 4S Shop?"

Gao Jian silently read the name of the store and felt that this was a magical 4S store.

"Is it a car repair?"

As soon as the truck stopped at the door, a swarthy fat man in the store trotted out and stood on the side of the road and shouted.

"Yes, look at the situation and give me a quote. Qianyan got out of the car and negotiated with the boss.
