Finally, it was Chen Xiaomao's turn to car, and the quality of the ten stone grain on the car was not bad, and the veteran in charge of acceptance spot-checked two bags from the middle, so he began to weigh them. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info saw the scales, Chen Xiaomao couldn't help but habitually tighten his heart, he has seen a lot of tricks of big buckets in and out of small buckets, but at this time it is the Chinese who are collecting grain, and they can only collect according to them, anyway, even if it is harsh, it is only ten stones.

"Okay, this batch of brown rice is very good, there is no old rice and no mold or spoilage." One clerk said to the other, and the man nodded, beckoning to Chen Xiaomao, "Come over and pass the scales." ”

"Weigh it?" Chen Xiaomao and his cousin were stunned for a moment, whether the official warehouse collects grain or the grain store collects grain, they are all poured directly into the bucket, directly counting the number of buckets, ten buckets and one stone, at this time, the ten stones of grain are so heavy, how to pass the scales?

Seeing him in a daze, the clerk smiled and quickly explained, "We are weighed, you follow the staff in front of you." As he spoke, he opened a ticket and handed it to Chen Xiaomao.

Chen Xiaomao was the second monk at this time, and he was confused, so he had to take this piece of paper and follow the staff in front of him, while several of his long-term servants and servants followed behind with carts. It didn't take long to come to a long corridor, there was a strange large iron plate on the ground, the clerk came over and stretched out his hand to him, he was stunned for a moment, and quickly took out a few coins of silver from his pocket and stuffed it into the clerk's hand, and the clerk also made a second monk puzzled, and hurriedly pushed the silver away with both hands, "I want a ticket." ”

"Tickets?" Chen Xiaomao looked down and found that the clerk was referring to the piece of paper in his hand, and hurriedly handed it over. The clerk took the ticket and pointed at the iron plate on the ground, "You guys push the cart up." ”

The long-term workers quickly pushed the cart up, and the staff on the side recorded it on the ticket.

"You unload the grain onto the barn." The clerk pointed to a plank on the ground, which was a little different in that it was nailed to three beams, and when the grain was put up, it was separated from the ground by three beams.

Seeing that the long-term workers were unloading the grain, he looked at the warehouse with curiosity, and did not know how it was used, so if he used three horizontal logs to prop it off the ground, there was no moisture that would cause mold. But this warehouse can't be moved, there are ten stones of grain on it, how can I move it later?

"You push the empty cart up again." The clerk asked the curious long-term workers to push the cart onto the iron plate.

"Six hundred and thirteen kilograms." The staff quoted the numbers, which were recorded on that ticket at the same time, and then stamped. Then the clerk took the ticket and handed it back to Chen Xiaomao, "You can take this ticket to the cashier outside to get the money." ”

"This?" Chen Xiaomao was stunned on the spot again, is this over the scale? Where are the scales? I didn't see it. A staff member came by and dragged a trailer made of all steel, the trailer had two girders, and on the girders there were small iron wheels, and in front of it were two large wheels connected together. The staff turned the trailer around and pushed it directly under the barn, just between the three crossbars of the barn. Then he pressed the tow hand of the trailer up and down, and the girder of the trailer was raised, directly lifting the silo off the ground, and then he dragged the cart away, and the grain on the silo and the silo looked as if there was no weight at all.

"What kind of thaumaturgy is this?" The cousin on the side was dumbfounded, and Chen Xiaomao was also there, not knowing how to answer him.

"Chen Yuanwai, please come with me." The clerk in front shook his hand in front of him, and then led the two sleepwalking men to the cashier's office.

"Tickets!" Sitting behind the cashier's desk was a girl dressed in a small pink cotton coat with a pair of black leggings underneath and a red skirt in the middle. A jet-black hair was tied back casually, and Xue Fanxing looked up at the two natives in cotton robes.

Xue Fanxing exudes the fragrance of genuine French perfume, and her eyebrows and eyes are beautiful, making all the indigenous movements that see her extremely unnatural. Because this Chinese woman's clothing is inevitably too seductive, not only does the small cotton dress outline the curves of the upper body almost perfectly, but the leggings worn underneath make the natives who see her feel that a certain part of the body immediately begins to congest and swell.

However, at this time, Xue Fanxing, the initiator who made all the indigenous movements twist and pinch, did not find her masterpiece at this time, she just shook her outstretched right hand, "Where's the ticket?" ”

Chen Xiaomao walked over with his back hunched very unnaturally and handed over the ticket that was a little deformed in his hand. Xue Fanxing took it and looked at it, "Six hundred and thirteen kilograms," said and crackled a few times on the abacus, "Twelve pieces of two cents and six." With that, Xue Fanxing got up and went to the silver vault behind him for a while, and then brought out a small plate with twelve silver cakes and two large copper coins and six small copper coins on it.

Chen Xiaomao's attention was immediately attracted by these silver coins, and he hurriedly picked them up and looked at them carefully. This batch of new silver coins stamped by the mint in early December is no longer a cartoon character, but the Chinese character "壹元" surrounded by flowers, and the words "壹liang" are marked in small characters below. He turned the silver coin around, and it was still the same, a big ship riding the wind and waves in the light of dawn.

But what soon caught his attention was the copper coin, which had a pattern similar to that of a silver coin, but this copper coin with a brass glow was different from any copper coin he had ever seen, it was larger, and the pattern on it was very fine, and there was a circle of lines on the side teeth. It is written on the top of the "one corner", the bottom is marked with "one coin", and the small copper coin is "one cent".

These copper coins were a new product of the Mint, and since only one-dollar and half-dollar silver coins had been issued, and because there were no coins, these natives did not care to use silver scissors to click and click, or only used copper coins issued by the Wu Dynasty government when they circulated at low denominations, so the copper coins or copper products they collected were made into new coins. As soon as these copper coins appeared, they defeated the copper coins of the Wu Dynasty, and this beautifully crafted copper coin clearly became a favorite object of the natives with its shiny appearance. As a result, the copper coins on the market have poured into the vaults of the people, and the executive committee has foreseen the phenomenon of this phenomenon of bad money driving out good money, and they directly smelt these copper coins and purify all kinds of non-ferrous metals mixed in them, lead, tin, and antimony are all very important non-ferrous metals, among which lead is the most. Although the size of the copper coin is larger than that of ordinary copper coins, it is much smaller than four or five hundred copper coins. So no matter how bad money drives out good money, there is no loss in crossing the public. In addition, they also issued a one-cent coin, this coin is quite small, only about one centimeter in diameter, only one millimeter thick, can only be equivalent to the purchasing power of a copper coin, due to the arrival of the public after the large purchases and the support of the market, resulting in the rapid development of the local economy, prices rise, now a considerable part of this one-cent coin is still lying in the vault, I am afraid it will not be long before it will be withdrawn from the market.

"Hello, I want to ask, I still have a lot of food, I want to ......" Chen Xiaomao stammered a little, and his eyes began to bend again when he saw this female patriarch.

"Oh, if you want to make a big transaction, look for Du Yande's executive committee at the door of the grain depot outside." Xue Fanxing pointed outside and then said to a native behind her, "Next." ”

After Chen Xiaomao walked out, he looked left and right, and there were still many people queuing. Not far away, Liu Mingyuan was directing a few family members to push the cart to the courtyard, and he couldn't help but secretly think about what kind of scene it would be when Master Liu saw the female man.

He smiled secretly as he walked to the door of the granary, looking left and right, but did not see the more distinctly dressed bearded man. He knew that the executive committee was the highest official among the people, but it was only when he thought that since this person was so rich and powerful, a person with an official position like the executive committee should dress differently from other people. But the group of people in front of him were almost all wearing the same green cardigans, the only difference was the shoes on their feet, some were leather boots, some were wooden slippers made of thick cotton, and some were wearing high-waisted canvas boots that they called "liberation shoes". He thought about it for a while, and could only walk up to a man wearing liberation shoes who was directing the grain delivery people to line up and said, "May I ask this gentleman, I don't know Du ...... Where is the Du Executive Committee? ”

The unattractive man in front of him was looking at the queue behind him with interest, and suddenly heard someone asking himself, and quickly turned his head to look at him, "I am, what's the matter?" ”

"Huh?" Chen Xiaomao couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at this bearded person carefully, at first glance it really looked no different from other bearded people, he hurriedly made a gesture again, "Chen Xiaomao in Chenjiazhuang in the west of Xiacheng." ”

"Oh, it's Chen Yuanwai!" Du Yande hurriedly arched his hands and said, "What do you have to say?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare," Chen Xiaomao hurriedly said, "There is still some grain on Chenjiazhuang, I wonder if you are interested in buying it?" ”

"Oh?" Du Yande couldn't help but be a little excited, he knew that there was a lot of grain in the granaries of these big men, and the harvest of crops in this tropical region was quite high, as long as the other party was willing to sell, it would definitely be able to meet the needs of Dongfang Port, but since the notice was posted today, there was really not much grain sent by these natives, and there was everything, brown rice, grain, oats, potatoes and even some potatoes that could not be named at all, he had already asked someone to go to Sun Wenqing, at this time, I am afraid that only he has the ability to recognize these grains. "I don't know how many?"

"It's about a few thousand stones of grain, but the price is ......" Chen Xiaomao looked at Du Yande expectantly.

"The price is good, come, let's talk about it in the inner courtyard." Saying that, Du Yande invited Chen Xiaomao into the inner courtyard.
