"Xianxian, can you stay inside the token first? Brother, I'm going into the city, it won't be convenient for you to follow outside. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Yo Yo, although the fairy was a little reluctant, she still took the initiative to return to the summoned beast token as sensible, and did not embarrass Pu Tao.

"That's good, I'll buy you something delicious when I enter the city. So Pu Tao lined up to go into the city.

It's just that Pu Tao is embarrassed that he forgot a more critical problem, that is, he doesn't even have a tael of silver on him!

As a result, just as Pu Tao followed the group of people in front of him into the city, a shrill sound came. "Hey, that Taoist priest over there, are you a disciple of the sect? If not, come over honestly and pay the entrance fee, don't try to fool in front of your Li Sanye!"

Pu Tao looked at an official with a spear in his hand, and asked with a confused expression: "What is the entrance fee? How much do you pay?"

Instead of answering Pu Tao's question, this official named Li Xiaosan said impatiently: "Where is there so much nonsense! If you have money, hurry up and pay the money, and if you don't have money, roll it aside for Lao Tzu, and don't delay Lao Tzu to collect money!"

"Why can those people ask me without paying the money? What is the reason!" Pu Tao saw that this official had such a bad attitude, and he immediately became angry.

"Ahh

Before Li Xiaosan said that the voice had fallen, he had the intention of poking the past with a gun, and Pu Tao also took out his fan when he saw this, and was ready to fight.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, a bookkeeper standing on the side hurriedly grabbed Li Xiaosan, "The third master is not strange, the third master is not strange." This Taoist may have come from another place, and he doesn't know the rules here, so just let me explain a little bit about it. ”

Pu Tao himself is not a cautious person, and when he sees someone persuading him, he naturally puts away his hand. It's just that although Li Xiaosan also put down the spear, he also felt a little unforgiving, "Hmph, stinky Taoist! For Xiao Zhang's sake today, I will temporarily let you go, but you don't want to pay less than the five taels of silver entrance fee!"

"The third master is really an adult, which makes the kid very impressed. As soon as the little official saw that Li Xiaosan had finally given up, he hurriedly flattered him and pulled Pu Tao aside, for fear that the two of them would have another conflict.

In order to interfere with the others entering the city, the little official pulled Pu Tao to the edge of the city gate, "This Taoist chief is embarrassed, Captain Li was criticized by Lord Futai just now, so he is not in a good mood." I hope this Taoist chief will forgive me. ”

Although Pu Tao was not afraid of this so-called captain at all, he still knew the good and bad people, so he said in a very polite tone: "It's okay, poor Dao Bodhizi, thank you just now." I don't know what this lord is called?"

Although Pu Tao didn't make a move just now, the little official still saw that he was extraordinary, so he replied very respectfully: "Don't dare, don't dare, Bodhi Zi Daoist is really tormenting the villain." The boy Zhang Chao is just a small official who collects taxes, how can he afford the title of an adult, just call me by my name. ”

Since Zhang Chao said so, of course Pu Tao would not be polite, "Zhang Chao, I don't know what this entrance fee is about?"

"Dao Chief, you may have just come here, here's how it happened......"

Through Zhang Chao's explanation, Pu Tao finally understood.

It turned out that due to the excessive prosperity of Jianye City, a considerable number of foreign population poured into the city, making it more and more difficult for Jianye City to bear such heavy population pressure. Therefore, a long time ago, toll points were set up at each gate of Jianye City to collect entry fees from everyone who entered the city.

At first, the entrance fee of Jianye City was only one tael of silver, but later it rose more and more because of the continuous growth of the population, two taels, three taels, four taels, until it rose to the current five taels, and even continued to grow.

In fact, not only Jianye, but also the government of major cities in order to limit the influx of overpopulated cities, many large cities have entry fees, the more prosperous the city, the more they will collect, and the less people the city will collect, or even not at all. It is said that Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, has risen to 10 taels of entry fees! From this, we can think of the prosperity of Chang'an.

Pu Tao, who knew the truth of the matter, could only talk nonsense in order to avoid embarrassment, "Oh, I see." Poor Dao has just come from Nanzhan Buzhou, and the rules of this place are not very clear, so I hope you will forgive me. ”

"Nanzhan Buzhou is more than 100,000 miles according to this, I don't know how many jackals, tigers and leopards there are along the way, the Taoist is really a good skill!" Zhang Chao said in surprise.

"Well, why can those people who were before me enter the city without paying?"

Pu Tao was actually very embarrassed when he said this, as if he was saying that he didn't want to pay the money. You must know that in this world, the purchasing power of silver is quite low, one or two pieces of silver is almost the same as one yuan of RMB, and you can only buy one meat bun. As for the five taels of silver entrance fee, it is nothing, and most people spend more than five taels of silver on a meal.

It's just that Pu Tao has no choice but to have a breeze on his sleeves, not to mention five taels of silver, which is a monetary unit that has been eliminated, and there is not a penny. So it can only figure out how to do it without spending money on the process.

"Dao Chief, don't say it, I almost forgot that the group of people just now are disciples of the Five Tiger Sect in the city. Because the imperial court has an order, regardless of the rank of each sect, their disciples can be exempted from paying the entrance fee when entering the city, so they can enter the city directly. ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Chao also thought about whether this Dao Chief had no money on him, but he still didn't dare to slack off, "But Dao Leader don't worry, I look at Dao Chang Immortal Wind Dao Bone, I don't know which Immortal Mountain to practice, as long as the Dao Chief takes out the token representing your sect identity and shows it to us, this entrance fee can be ignored." ”

In fact, if this Zhang Dynasty really respects Pu Tao, the Taoist chief, these five taels of silver can be paid for him. It's just that the heart of defense is indispensable, what if you look away? Wouldn't that be embarrassing? So it's better to let Pu Tao take out the token representing his identity and take a look.

As for the issue of token fraud, there is no need to worry about it at all, the tokens of various sects are actually essentially a magic weapon. It not only symbolizes the rank of a sect, but also can engrave a mark on the identity token of the disciples of one's own sect. In this way, not only does the token not be counterfeited, but also makes it possible for their disciples to ask for help through the token when they are in danger. Even if the rescue is not timely and results in death, the token can also send the death message back.

As soon as Pu Tao saw that the matter had come to this, he could only reluctantly say: "Then can you see this token?"
