Chapter 170: The Wolf's Lair (12)

Wang You's face was confused, and the woman took the opportunity to say: "Why don't you buy a dress first, you can talk slowly when you have time."

"This dress is good, the latest style, called hunting suit, it is very energetic to wear, there are many young men like you in the valley who like this style, why don't you try it!"

Wang You put on his clothes in a daze, "Gu Master, you see that he is beautiful and warm in this coat, and it will definitely attract the eyes ......of many women."

"This coat is only one hundred and fifty yuan, and the first time you come to the small store, I will give you the best price...... Twenty percent off, as long as one hundred and twenty Wen, this is a preferential price that only the valley owner has, this time it depends on you follow the valley owner, and there will be no store in this village! ”

Wang You touched the coat on his body, the style was a bit like a cloak, there was a wool liner inside, and the buttons were arranged on the left and right, which destroyed the overall image of the coat, "I don't like the buttons of this coat!" ”

The woman thought that Wang You was finding fault and bargaining, "If you don't like cloth buttons, you can change them in the button shop on the corner, there are many styles of buttons, copper, silver and gold, copper buttons have the most styles, as long as five cents a piece, and there are special people to help you replace, if you can design your own buttons, you can also bring processing ......."

Zhen Qian felt that he had been here for too long, and said, "I bought this coat", and handed the woman a few banknotes, and the woman took the banknotes with a smile and thanked her.

"This coat is even a New Year's gift from me, take it!"

"Da Lang, I'm rich!"

"What are you polite to me? Change your clothes and I'll show you around! ”

Wang You put on a full set of new clothes, and the whole person looked more energetic, but he always felt uncomfortable when he walked. The two walked out of the clothing store, and Zhen Qian stuffed a stack of banknotes into Wang You's hand, "In the valley, copper coins can't be circulated, and if you want to buy anything, you have to use such banknotes!" There is consistent money here, you take it first! ”

Wang You held a stack of large and small colorful banknotes, the banknotes are very thin but very flexible and not easy to tear, there are not only a variety of flowers and birds landscape patterns on it, but also printed with the words one, five, ten, fifty and one hundred.

"Can this paper money be used in the valley?"

"Why can't it be used, whether it is a shell in ancient times, or a copper coin used in the outside world, in fact, the most fundamental purpose is to facilitate the exchange of goods, since it is a medium of exchange, the use of copper coins and paper money is not the same?"

"But ......", Wang You felt that there was something wrong with Zhen Qian's words, but he felt that what he said seemed to make sense, coins are all vouchers of exchange, the embodiment of commodity value, and they can't be eaten directly, and what is used is not the same.

Of course, the actual situation is not as simple as Zhen Qian said, but Zhen Qian doesn't want to talk to Wang You for the time being, and when he really understands, he will naturally ask himself.

"Do you want to walk around the market?"

Wang You shook his head: "Didn't Da Lang say to take me to other places to see?" In the future, there will be time in the valley, and it will not be too late to come back to the market."

Zhen Qian nodded, and sighed secretly in his heart, there are not many people who can read and write in this era, once there is a chance, the first idea is to embark on a career as an official, there is no right or wrong in this book, learning to become a scholar and martial arts, and selling goods to the emperor's family is the idea of every scholar in this era, but the road to becoming an official is not easy to walk, even if you are admitted to the Jinshi and have an official body, if no one appreciates it, I don't know how long it will take, many people have been waiting for more than ten years in the position of candidates, and there is no background and people to recommend it. Maybe you can't wait for a real shortage in your life.

However, these people are willing to wait until they die of old age on the way to the candidates, rather than find another way out, which is also a helpless move for Zhen Qian to have to cultivate talents by himself.

In these years, very few literati are willing to give up their families to rebel against others, and the orthodox concept of the Tang Dynasty is deeply rooted, even if they want to open up overseas territories, no one will follow them. In desperation, Zhen Qian had no choice but to set his eyes on the people around him, and found that Wang You was a talent, and he had been with him for eight years, and there was no shortage of feelings, the only thing was a change in concept.

Talents need to be cultivated by themselves, and it is impossible to cultivate their own talents without four or five years, and the speed of development cannot be as fast as possible.

In this era, the thoughts of literati and doctors are similar to the concepts of all feudal dynasties, the great country has a vast territory of thousands of miles, rich in products and culture, and is surrounded by barbaric miasma, and there is no spirit of opening up the territory at all, if it were not for the Silk Road in the Western Regions, I am afraid that the Central Plains Dynasty would have lost the Western Regions long ago, otherwise it would not have made many fetters.

The territory of the Central Plains was determined during the Qin Shi Huang period, and it has not changed much in the next 2,000 years.

How many times did the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties really go to the world, the sprouts of capitalism appeared again and again on the land of the Central Plains, but they were strangled in the cradle again and again, and the people of later generations sighed at the same time, never really looked at this glorious past with their eyes, maybe everyone knows in their hearts that it is impossible for a real system reform to rule a society ruled by man, how can vested interests give up their power, even the broad-mindedness has disappeared after the Tang Dynasty, and the mind has long been firmly bound by feudal etiquette, This is the real reason why society has not changed for 2,000 years.

"I'll show you the school you're going to start tomorrow!"

Through Zhen Qian's introduction, Wang You already knew the general distribution of the entire valley, the hillside at the entrance was the main residential area, and the administrative service area was on the slope diagonally opposite the residential area, which was the center of the entire valley, and the school, market and many management facilities were built here .......

"The school is built in a mountain?"

Wang You saw that the school was actually built next to the cliff, a three-story building, half outside and half in the mountain, the open space at the entrance was renovated, and dozens of children were bowing in the open space. Wang You didn't know that this was not a juju at all, but a football sport, but in Wang You's eyes, juju and football were similar.

"Every inch of land in the valley is valuable, and if you want not to occupy the cultivated area, you can only make up your mind on the slopes and mountains!"

"But is it natural or ...... ...... such a big cave?"

"You'll find out soon! I'll take you around first, and then I'll take you to sign up for ......", the two walked into the school hall while talking, and when they passed by the open space of the school, many children ran over, chattering around Zhen Qian, "Gu Master, are you here to see our football game today?" ”

"Gu Lord, our Flying Eagles must defeat the Lions and win the first football championship in the valley, but is the valley master personally awarding the award?"

"You guys have a good workout, remember that football is just a sport to exercise your body, remember what I said?"

The children around him said in unison: "Civilize its spirit, barbarize its body!" ”
