After confirming that the house here had been occupied recently, the three of them immediately decided to arrange a task for Ji Yan, that is, to stop Chen Laohan from continuing to boil water and cook.

This "uninvited guest" does not know whether it is friend or foe, whether it will come back, how many people, so they must be cautious.

And the smoke from the cooking in this house is equivalent to setting a target for himself, telling everyone in this radius of dozens of miles that there are people in this house, putting the four of them in danger.

Therefore, the three of them decided to ask Ji Yan to explain to Chen Laohan that there is no need to cook or boil water.

Ji Yan was turning his head and running into the house, but he almost hit Chen Laohan all over the head.

Chen Laohan also ran out in a panic, Ji Yan first turned his head to Mei Yuning and Sun Dayong and instructed them to put out the fire, and then turned his head to Chen Laohan again.

Old Man Chen's expression was shocked and flustered, and he was very excited to express something to Ji Yan.

It was the first time for Ji Yan to see this old man Chen so excited.

Chen Laohan was in a hurry for a while, and it was estimated that he also understood that if he stood here and just relied on his hands, he would not be able to tell Ji Yan clearly, so he directly pulled Ji Yan's sleeve and walked to the inner room.

Entering the house, Mei Yuning and Sun Dayong were working together to extinguish the fire, Chen Laohan glanced at the two of them and didn't say anything.

Ji Yan was pulled by Chen Laohan to a corner in the shade of a house, and Chen Laohan continued to gesture in the direction of that corner.

Ji Yan looked at it, this is the corner of the hall, and there is a small underground storage compartment on the ground.

To put it bluntly, a square pit was dug in the ground, and a jar of things was stored in this pit.

When Ji Yan got closer, he immediately knew what was in the jar.

It was a jar of home-brewed old wine.

Chen Laohan kept pointing to the jar of wine, Ji Yan opened the jar and looked at it, and the wine inside was drunk.

Those "uninvited guests", after entering the house, drank wine, and put the jar back in its place, feeling that they really regarded this house as their own home?

At this time, Mei Yuning and Sun Dayong also surrounded them, and they had already extinguished the cooking fire.

The three of them looked at each other, and they all understood that they had to talk to Chen Lao Hanming now.

Naturally, the task of communicating with foreigners is placed on the interpreter major.

Ji Yan could only stay awake and tried all kinds of means and expressions.

It took about half a pillar of incense, and I felt that Chen Laohan finally understood that there were people living in this house.

Now that Chen Laohan had understood, they did not hesitate, and immediately left Chen Laohan's house and went to another family.

At this time, it is already close to evening, but the clouds are thick and the fog is steaming in the mountains and dense forests, and it is difficult to see the sun, so it is difficult to tell the specific time.

Ji Yan, Mei Yuning, and Sun Dayong discussed it, and it was definitely too late to go to this twin peaks today, so they decided to clean up a messy house tonight and live for a while.

Tomorrow, we'll see how it goes.

This family is larger than Chen's family, with three bedrooms and a small courtyard.

Chen Laohan lives in one room, he is more emotional now, but he can't do anything himself, and he can't be sure that the person who has lived here must be related to his daughter, so he is excited and excited, and he is still very cooperative with the arrangement of Ji Yan and others.

Mei Yuning lives in one room, and Sun Dayong and Ji Yan live in another.

When this was arranged, although it was only a flash, Sun Dayong couldn't hold back and leaked a surprised expression.

These houses are a little messy.,But it's supposed to be someone who has come to rummage through things.,So it's not so messy that it can't be inhabited.,Clean up a little.,It's no problem to live in.。。

While Ji Yan and the others were cleaning up the house, they also opened their minds by the way, guessing who had lived here.

After discussing for a while, everyone basically reached an agreement, the biggest possibility should be that there are other fragrant wood digging teams coming, and they found that the original residents here have run away, so they will "borrow it temporarily".

Although there have been wars a day's journey from here, there are many people who ask for money and don't want to die.

After half an hour, the sky became more and more dark, and the wind blew, and I wondered if another typhoon was coming.

The three of them traveled here, and finally came to their original destination, and finally rebuilt and lived in the house, bidding farewell to the days of eating and sleeping in the open.

Therefore, after Ji Yan, Mei Yuning, and Sun Dayong cleaned up the room where they stayed tonight, they decided to get together for a small meeting to discuss the future arrangements and plans.

They first checked some of the important luggage they carried, which can be regarded as a recalculation of the current situation.

The first is the gold and copper coins given by Wang Jinghong when they came.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was a not very successful reform in the currency, that is, in the early Ming Dynasty, the Ming Bao banknote was issued as the official currency, which is a kind of paper money.

Since the eighth year of Hongwu, the government has banned private gold and silver transactions, but copper coins are allowed.

In the twenty-seventh year of Hongwu, he once "ordered the military, civilian, and merchant Jia to collect all the copper coins, and the officials were collected and returned to the officials, and the money was exchanged according to the number, and they were not allowed to exercise it." However, this policy soon became extinct.

Therefore, in the mainland of the Ming Dynasty, the legal currency was the Ming treasure banknote, as well as the Hongwu Tongbao.

But really in the Ming Dynasty, although there are not too many Hongwu Tongbao circulating on the market, there are two main reasons.

First, the copper coin itself has not been forged much, and it has been suspended several times, and secondly, many Hongwu Tongbao have been used for overseas trade.

This point was not obvious in the Hongwu period of the sea ban, but in the Jianwen and Yongle years, the sea ban was basically opened, and it became more and more obvious.

Hongwu Tongbao's purchasing power was super strong, but there were not many in the Ming Dynasty, and it became more and more rare.

These copper coins are concentrated in people engaged in overseas trade, or simply a large number of them are scattered overseas, and the inland areas are generally used in the Ming treasure banknotes, but the depreciation rate is very fast.

From a certain point of view, this is also one of the reasons why the maritime merchants in Shandong and Fujian are so rich, not only because of the trade itself, but also because the currency they use is not inflationary.

Before Zheng He and others went to sea, Zhu Di specially ordered people to create a lot of "Ming Yongle" gold coins, which were used as overseas merchants and rewards for the princes and ministers of the vassal states.

Ji Yan received five gold coins and two strings of Hongwu Tongbao from Wang Jinghong at that time.

This gold coin is nothing unusual, it says Daming Yongle, and there is nothing else, and the size is also very small, five gold coins are probably less than one or two.

Before leaving, in order to prevent the potential risk of losing all the money on one person.

Ji Yan distributed the money, he himself brought three gold coins, one for Mei Yuning, one for Sun Dayong, in addition, Hongwu Tongbao was also separated, and he brought a string for himself, half a string for Mei Yuning and Sun Dayong.

However, along the way, I basically slept in the open air, and I didn't have a chance to use it, so I took it out at the moment, right.

The money is still there, and there's nothing to say about this.

In addition to gold and copper coins, they also brought some simple drawing stuff.

Ji Yan, Mei Yuning, and Sun Dayong each brought some mulberry paper, and their idea was that if they couldn't find a ready-made map, they would use it to draw it on mulberry paper.

This mulberry paper is pale yellow, and the exquisite craftsmanship of the mulberry paper can be seen with obvious fiber structure, and the most commonly used purpose is the official books.

There is also the use of mulberry paper as a page, which has a beautiful appearance and a smooth feel.

This thing originated in the Han Dynasty, has been used in high-end calligraphy and painting, high-end mounting paper, in addition to ordinary paper, umbrella making, paste baskets, making concoctions, wrapping traditional Chinese medicine, making fans and so on are also widely used.

The biggest advantage of mulberry paper is that it is not easy to wear and tear, and it is not afraid of rain and sun, so it is very suitable for their trip.

The three of them were working on the luggage, only to hear a thunderous sound in the distance, which attracted everyone's attention.

The crowd looked up.

Outside the house, the wind was strong, and there was already lightning and thunder in the distance, and it seemed that the wind and rain that had been backlogged for several days were coming.

Not long after, with a howling wind, a torrential rain fell from the sky, and in an instant, the torrential rain was like a torrential down.
