In the Qin State, there was a price for the grain that ordinary people could eat.

The price of flour is about 70 yuan per stone, and the price of ordinary coarse rice is 40 yuan.

For example, the extremely fine white rice, because of the complex process, is 500 yuan a stone, which is a silver coin.

The farmers of the Qin State can earn about 800 yuan a year.

A crew member is calculated at five dollars a day a year, that is, there are 1,825 yuan, which is also a high income.

However, this high income is far from enough to buy alcohol at the forum here.

The crew members sitting here looked at each other, and suddenly someone said, "It seems that I forgot to go to sea last year to get the gold for going to sea." ”

"I haven't received it."

"We didn't know we had the money."

Bi Yi was stupid when he heard it, don't these guys remember that they have money to collect?

You must know that every month on the Chu army's side, there was a storm where thousands of soldiers were preparing to make trouble. It didn't come down because it was delayed for half a month.

For ordinary soldiers waiting for rice pots, what does not pay their families to eat.

Since he is a professional soldier, it is natural to receive money.

A crew member stretched out his hand and put it on Bi Yi's shoulder: "I said brother, we can afford to eat this wine." You know that there is a port, and our Dahejun has not yet named the port, let's call it the white sand beach port. There, a jar of two catties of Qin Xinjiu costs a silver coin. ”

"This, so expensive?"

"How can I say this, scarcity is expensive. It is not easy to transport wine there, so a jar and a silver coin are not expensive, but no matter how much, you can't save it. That is to say, as much as you can sell, our brother is not short of this wine money. Later, the rules were set and the limit was set. ”

All the crew members followed and scolded: "That bastard is reluctant to give us wine." ”

Five hundred Qin Xinqian is a jar of wine, this is not wine, in terms of weight calculation, several times the weight of Qin Xinqian is exchanged for this jar of wine.

"You guys, five hundred dollars is not a small number." Bi Yi asked with doubts.

At the moment, the thinnest crew member was pulled out: "Tell me, you are the bookkeeper on the ship, how much can our brothers earn this year?" ”

"No, it's not settled yet."

"Tell me how many, how many?"

"You, you could be 180,000 dollars."

180,000 dollars.

With the purchasing power of Qin Qian, 180,000 yuan has far exceeded the income of the nobles of the Chu State for a year. 180,000 yuan, which is equivalent to the gross income of a middle nobleman with 3,000 to 4,000 mu in the Chu State for a year.

If tax deductions are added, at least the annual income of the nobles who own 5,000 acres of fertile land will be capped.

Bi Yi glanced around, and then fainted to the ground with black eyes.

The crew was terrified, thinking that the drink had gone too far and that it had caused problems with the drink.

A group of people carried and carried Bi Yi back to the dock, and a medical officer on the pier examined and told the crew of the Swordfish: "This is a rush to attack the heart, and I didn't mention it in one breath, so it's easy to treat." ”

The crew of the Swordfish was relieved to leave.

In the afternoon, Bi Yi, who had already woken up, looked at Fang Liang in a daze, and several friends who were familiar with him came to visit.

Bi Yi said: "I didn't come up in the afternoon, I didn't drink too much." Instead, it scared that a crew member on the Swordfish could earn an income of 5,000 acres of land a year. ”

"It's the whole boat!"

"No, I hear you clearly, it's a person."

"Really?"

"Who knows." Bi Yi wasn't sure.

"Why don't we ask again?"

Hearing this proposal, Bi Yiteng sat up suddenly: "Yes, go and ask." ”

"How do you ask?"

"Invite them to drink."

When it comes to drinking, Bi Yi and his friends are in pain, and more than a dozen people have pooled money, but it is not enough to buy ten jars of wine, but this is also the intention, plus some fish, and some fried beans, boiled beans or something.

Finding the place where the Swordfish crew lived, seeing that there were only ten jars of wine for more than a hundred and ten people here, these junior officers of the Chu army were very embarrassed.

"Hahaha, this is not the Bi Yi brothers." The crew who met at noon drinking gave the captain an introduction.

Captain Yue Ren immediately ordered: "Come, go and ask the wine shop to bring wine, and then let's slaughter ducks and geese, you guys, go and cook some salt beans for us." ”

The first mate approached silently: "I said the bow of the boat, do you want to take that thing." ”

"The thing?"

"Of course!"

Both of them laughed at the same time, and after the captain nodded, the first mate immediately ordered someone to prepare.

Compared with the preparations of several junior officers of the Chu army, the crew of the Swordfish prepared more than ten times the value of wine and food.

After three rounds of drinking, the deputy of the Qin People's Congress had a very mysterious expression: "Several brothers of the Chu army, there is something for the brothers to taste." ”

A plate was served, and the crew, who were still talking and laughing, instantly fell silent.

This thing they know.

I saw a lump of yellow and black juice on the plate, which smelled so bad that I wanted to vomit.

The petty officers of the Chu army were stunned, is this?

Look up at the person at the end again.

This is the second-in-command on the Swordfish, and if you don't eat it, you won't give face.

Can you eat dung?

Bi Yi gritted his teeth, picked up a piece with chopsticks and didn't dare to smell it, so he put it in his mouth like that, and as soon as he entered his mouth, it was a little sour at first, and then it was sweet and delicious.

"Yes, this!"

"Hahaha, it's brothers, treat us as brothers. Come, drink. ”

Someone came over and explained, "I don't know what it's called, it's a fruit that grows on a tree, it's the size of a head, and it has a lot of spikes." ”

Someone else brought the fruit.

As for black, it's a good thing, a black fruit that grows on the trunk of a tree, and when it was found, according to the locals, it blooms and bears fruit all year round. The small fruits on the trunk of the tree grow densely, then from green to red, from red to purple, and finally purple-black.

So it looks like black juice.

Durian and black tree fruits, no matter how you look at it, how you smell it, it's all dung.

But it tastes delicious.

Captain Yue Ren spoke: "You are the first to eat in our Zhuxia Central Plains, we brought some of this stuff back, and we only used it for our own use." It is not included in the cargo catalogue. It's good, and it's meant to be tasted specifically for newcomers. ”

The petty officers of the Chu army only smiled bitterly.

It's not a tasting, it's for the whole person.

Bi Yi put down his wine glass: "At noon today, I heard that your ship can earn 180,000 yuan." ”

"Well, we have a boat, and it should be five thousand gold. This is not the income of the ship, but the crew of us, but the money must not be divided, and a part of it needs to be set aside for the repair of the ship and the purchase of some equipment for us. ”

The second mate added: "Wine, jerky, and fruit jars that go to sea. If you want to eat well, you have to buy it from the dock at your own expense. ”

The captain's words shocked the petty officers of the Chu army.

It's a lot of money to build a boat.
