Xiao Yishan sat in the side hall of Cui's Mansion in a trance, and after calming down, he realized what an impulsive decision he made to accompany Xiao Siqi to meet the guerrilla Cui Zuyao, and he regretted that he didn't persuade Xiao Siqi when he was in Wanghailou, Lushun City is dangerous for their current situation, and Cui's Mansion happens to be the most dangerous place in Lushun City.

"Yishan, haven't you heard that the most dangerous place is the safest place?" , Xiao Siqi saw Xiao Yishan's uneasiness, and when she took off the curtain, she looked at the decoration of the side hall of Cui's mansion with a smile.

"I've only heard of self-throwing into the net", Xiao Yishan glanced at Xiao Siqi, Xiao Yishan, who has always been as soft as jade and makes people feel like a spring breeze, occasionally shows such a playful expression.

"This is called knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and biasing towards the tigers", Xiao Siqi smiled slyly.

"I'm not afraid of being eaten by a tiger", Xiao Yishan responded angrily.

"Yishan, thank you", Xiao Siqi looked at Xiao Yishan and suddenly said seriously, this man who grew up with him since he was a child is like a big brother who has always been with him, which makes her feel at ease.

"I shouldn't let you mess around", Xiao Yishan was defeated again, shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"I'm not messing around, I said before that this time is a dangerous situation for us, but it can also be an opportunity", Xiao Siqi's eyes were firm.

"Opportunity?"

"Don't you want to know who is behind this, don't you want to know who is our internal spy?"

"Do you want to...", Xiao Yishan was shocked and stood up from his seat in shock, of course he heard what Xiao Siqi meant, she deliberately exposed herself to let others know that she had come to Lushun City, and she wanted to use herself as bait to lure out the people behind the scenes!

"No, no, this is too dangerous, I can't let you take such a risk", Xiao Yishan grabbed Xiao Siqi's wrist in a hurry.

Xiao Siqi smiled slightly, and gently patted Xiao Yishan's hand to show that it didn't matter.

Xiao Yishan came back to his senses and took his hand back with some embarrassment.

"Otherwise, we don't know who set up this situation, even if we return to Suzhou, this trade route that has been managed with great difficulty may fall into the hands of others, Yishan You should know what this trade route is unexpected for me, I must not give up." The opponent in the shadows is far more dangerous than the opponent in the light, and I just want to force him out. ”

Thinking of his efforts in the past three years to establish this complete smuggling trade route, thinking of his mother who is still in the old house in Wujiang, and thinking of the Xiao family elders who always want to take away their nominal rights, Xiao Siqi told herself in her heart that she couldn't lose!

"Nothing is more important than your safety, it's still too late for us to go, I still have a boat at the docks, now rush to the docks to see you off."

Xiao Yishan didn't care about anything, took Xiao Siqi's hand and prepared to go outside.

"It's too late, let's meet this guerrilla general for a while", Xiao Siqi looked at Xiao Yishan with a smile, just like when he was a child, but his eyes were less immature and innocent, and replaced by confidence and firmness.

Outside the door, rhythmic steps sounded.

……

The current depression and ruin of Lushun City did not affect Han Yue's interest in wandering, after all, it was the first time to feel the atmosphere of the market more than 400 years ago, which made him a little interested.

The only thing that disappointed them was that they were always followed by a 'tail' that couldn't shake off.

As soon as he came out of the gate of Wanghailou, the vigilant Xue Hu found a sneaky figure across the street, Xue Hu reminded Han Yue, Han Yue thought about it and understood who sent someone to keep an eye on him, in this era, except for Zhao Yanwang, the head snake who had just formed a beam, who would eat too much and have nothing to trouble him?

Xue Yan was ready to teach that person a lesson, but was stopped by Han Yue, who thought that there was no need for this, if he attracted the soldiers patrolling the city in broad daylight, it would be more troublesome, and let that person follow, so as to find out what King Zhao Yan had in mind.

In this way, Han Yue, Wang Erkui, Xue Hu, Xue Yan and the last big bolt that came out of the five people swaggered around in Lushun City with their 'tails', although Lushun City was dilapidated and deserted to a certain extent due to the blockade and food shortage, but many stores were still open to welcome customers, Han Yue was the soul of later generations, and he was curious about the ancient market, and spared no effort to stroll around one store after another, cloth shops, rice grain stores, grocery stores, ironware stores, jewelry stores, and even places where rouge was sold.

Along the way, Wang Erkui also kept introducing the prices of various commodities to Han Yue, he was a good man in this regard, and he seemed to have a good business mind, and Han Yue also slowly realized the price level of this era and the approximate circulation value of gold, silver and copper coins from Wang Erkui's explanation.

Lushun City is now expensive, in the past, 1 stone rice only needed 1 tael of 5 yuan of silver to 1 tael of 8 yuan of silver, now 1 stone of rice is sold to 8 taels of silver, a full rise of five times, according to the current salary of ordinary soldiers in Dongjiang Town, can only buy 2 buckets of rice, that is, less than 40 catties of rice, and these 40 catties of rice are also mixed with at least two or three percent of fine sand by black-hearted grain merchants, at most only 30 catties of rice, according to a person's consumption of 2 catties of rice a day, an ordinary soldier's monthly salary is not enough to feed himself, Not to mention supporting other people in the family, this is still to ensure that the salary is paid in a timely manner, and it is not deducted, in fact, the Ming military salary is basically a part of the seizure layer by layer, and finally it can be sent to the soldiers, and about fifty percent can be regarded as a conscientious army.

Therefore, the number of people starving to death in Lushun City is dozens or hundreds of people every day, and the mass graves outside the city are already full, and the phenomenon of selling children and daughters is very common, and even wives are sold.

In addition to grain, other prices have also soared several times or even dozens of times, such as the price of pork used to be only sold for 2 cents a catty, now it is sold for 8 cents a catty, and a live chicken has soared from 5 cents to 2 cents and 5 cents a catty. According to the current price level and purchasing power Han Yue made a preliminary estimate, under normal circumstances, the current one tael of silver is equivalent to about 700 yuan of soft sister coins in later generations, and his worth is mainly Yuan Chonghuan's reward, about 1,000 taels, that is, 700,000 soft sister coins in later generations, and this 1,000 taels of silver is not enough to pay a down payment in Beijing Second Ring Road. Coupled with some precious medicinal materials rewarded by Inspector Yuan, it can probably be sold for a few hundred taels of silver, and it seems that he still overestimates his worth.

Knowing the price level of this era, Han Yue began to think about how to make money in the future.
