Chapter 384: The Beginning of the Economic Crisis (Part I)

The representative color of autumn is yellow, and yes, the golden yellow of the harvest.

Whether it's the dead leaves falling in the wind or the crops growing in the fields, the earth is paved with gold.

Whenever this is the time when people are busiest.

Although they sweat like rain in the fields, they are all full of satisfied smiles.

It's a very beautiful picture, at least, that's what Lao Zhang Tou thinks.

An ox cart walks slowly along the path between the fields.

With the sound of "squeak, squeak", he walked forward.

Old Zhang Tou sat at the front, and behind him, sat a middle-aged woman with a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.

Looking at the busy farmers in the surrounding fields, Lao Zhangtou was very emotional.

I've lived here for decades, and now I'm leaving, and I'm really reluctant.

Lao Zhangtou was originally one of the largest households here.

Relying on the efforts of several generations of his family, he finally became a large family in the village.

And Lao Zhangtou's dream since childhood is to settle down in Yecheng.

Although he is considered a big family in the village.

But compared to the people in the city, it is still not worth mentioning.

Now, although he is old, his heart is gone.

However, in order for his daughter to have a good family and live a good life in the future, this can be regarded as the end of the wish of the two of them.

Thinking of this, Lao Zhangtou couldn't help but glance back at the mother and daughter, revealing a happy smile.

Originally, according to his ability, it was still very reluctant to settle down in Yecheng.

However, when he exchanged all his fields and ploughing cattle for two hundred Chu coins, these problems did not exist.

He had personally seen the horrors of Chu Coin in Yecheng.

Two Chu coins can buy a sheep, what is this concept.

What's even more terrifying is that despite this, Chu coins are still in short supply.

Every once in a while, the value of Chu coins will rise.

And it is still a steady rise, which makes an experienced old guy like Lao Zhangtou see the opportunity at a glance.

Therefore, he did not hesitate to sell all the family land and exchange them for Chu coins.

According to his theory, within half a year, his money will be one-third more.

With such a terrifying profit, where can you still use your hard work every day.

With Chu coins, don't you have everything?

Thinking of this, Lao Zhangtou took out a yellow copper coin from his arms.

Looking at the copper coins that shimmered with golden light, the old man's face was about to smile crookedly.

With such good color and workmanship, he will love it every time he sees it.

He has nearly two hundred such money.

With these, it is enough for them to live in peace in the city.

Wait until the fiery sunset hangs on the horizon.

The village and the golden fields completely disappeared from their vision...

"Wait! What for? ”

Yecheng, at the city gate.

A soldier with a spear in his hand pointed the spear in his hand at Lao Zhangtou's family.

The soldiers here are all human spirits, and they can see at a glance that this family is very fat and has a great chance to be slaughtered.

When they saw them, almost everyone's eyes were focused on them.

The eyes like hungry wolves made the girl on the ox cart tremble, and she could only rely on her mother's arms tightly to feel a little at ease.

"What are you asking for?"

When the soldier saw that the man did not speak, he repeated it with a glare.

"What's going on?"

From the city gate on the side, the captain who was lazily leaning on the city wall, watching the pedestrians coming and going, noticed the abnormality here, and walked over with a cold snort.

"Captain Sun, this person refuses to cooperate with the search, it looks strange!"

The soldier glanced at the captain without missing a trace, and said faintly.

"Oh~"

The captain rubbed his hands together and squinted at Lao Zhangtou's family, and smiled playfully.

"It doesn't matter if you're weird, Lao Tzu likes weird people the most."

His gaze was very strange on the old lady, looking hard.

The moment he saw the captain coming, Lao Zhangtou immediately jumped out of the ox cart, and with a smiling face, he pulled the captain aside.

Reluctantly retracting his gaze, the captain looked at the old man in front of him meaningfully.

"The military master works hard, the little old man is just a rural villager, what's so weird!

Our family just wants to live a good life in this city.

In the future, I still need a lot of care from the military master..."

As he spoke, Lao Zhangtou quietly stuffed the two Chu coins into the captain's hand.

Weighing the weighty Chu coin in his hand, the captain raised his eyebrows and stared at Lao Zhangtou, without saying a word.

It wasn't until he stuffed two more into his hands that he patted Lao Zhangtou's shoulder with a smile and said.

"Well said! Say! ”

"I see that you are so sensible and so honest, then let's go..."

The lieutenant immediately turned around, glanced at the old lady's daughter with nostalgia again, and waved his hand.

"Release!!"

Lao Zhangtou's family breathed a big sigh of relief, as long as they entered the city gate, everything would be easy.

Looking at the old Zhang Tou family who staggered away, several soldiers quickly surrounded him and looked at the captain with a smile.

"Boss, how many are these? These hillbillies think that in exchange for these Chu coins, they can survive in this city!

Hey, hey, hey... I'm afraid it won't be long before we see them again! ”

A soldier looked at the captain with a smile on his face.

"Hmph..."

The lieutenant snorted coldly, and said with a flickering gaze.

"Come on, the more the better, now this thing, the city has been flooded!"

Looking at the four Chu coins lying in his hand again, stroking the uneven patterns on them, a sneer appeared at the corner of the captain's mouth.

"Hey, hey... Boss, that little girl was good just now, right?

Why don't we go and visit? ”

"Get out..."

The happy old Zhang Tou family came to the door of the house that had been optimistic for a long time.

When you get here, you can be truly relieved.

The ox cart slowly stopped, and Lao Zhao Tou took the lead in jumping out of the ox cart, and then helped the mother and daughter out of the cart before heading towards the master standing at the door.

"Old man Zhang, you're late!"

It seems that the owner has been waiting here for a long time.

"I delayed at the city gate for a while, and I ask the master's family to forgive me!"

"Okay, okay, let's get started, I still have urgent things to do!"

"Good! This is the one hundred Chu coins we have negotiated, give! ”

Lao Zhangtou nodded with a smile, took out a brocade bag from his arms, and handed it to his master.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the other party didn't reach out to pick it up, but looked at him silently.

"What's wrong?"

"Old man Zhang, I won't go around the bend with you, this house, three hundred Chu coins!"
