Li Gui asked the Li faction to hurry back to prepare and report to the Winter Official Mansion later. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Looking at the Li faction who was leaving quickly, Ji Yan showed a happy smile. Originally, it was to help Li Sui, the grandson of Ji Fang's general, but he didn't want to get another genius, it was really a shopping gift, which really made him overjoyed. With this talent in surveying, some of the things that have been thinking about these days, such as finding salt mines, gypsum mines, copper mines, iron mines, etc., and even coal mines that will be necessary in the future, have become possible, and there is no need to worry about the lack of maps to use when marching and fighting. Of course, just such a person can't do so many things, and he has to find a way to equip him with a team.

"Thank you, old general, you have given this king a real talent, come, I will give you a drink." Ji Yan raised his wine to Li Gui.

Li Gui then raised the wine honor, and after drinking it all, he pursed his lips and said: "My king values talents, which is the luck of the Great Zhou, and the old minister is very happy. ”

"This king is actually here today for Sun Li Sui."

"Oh? What did this rabbit do out of the ordinary? Li Gui asked in surprise, although this grandson of his is naughty, he has always been measured, what kind of chaos has been caused today that even the Son of Heaven has been alarmed?

"No, no, no." Ji Yan shook his head and smiled: "It's not out of line, it's outstanding." This king sent Ji Fang out of Luoyang to do something, and he actually asked Li Sui to accompany him by name, which was quite important, so this king personally came to ask for it. I don't know if the general is willing to let Lingsun go out to practice? ”

"That's it!" Li Gui breathed a sigh of relief and said angrily: "It is the blessing of this kid to be able to do things for the Son of Heaven, how can the old minister refuse?" After speaking, he shouted loudly, "Tell Li Sui to come back, the old man has something to do with him." ”

"No." A subordinate answered and hurried out.

"I don't know what important things my king has, and he wants to go outside Luoyang to handle it?"

"If the king doesn't talk about anything first, it's definitely not a bad thing, and it's a great achievement to do it." Saying that, Ji Yan said with a straight face: "But to be honest, this matter may be a little tricky, and there will even be great danger, the old general must be mentally prepared first." ”

"Dangerous?" Li Gui said disdainfully: "What are you doing that is not dangerous? I choke on water, choke on eating, fall when I walk, and I don't know that there is danger is the biggest danger. Besides, there is danger to get the real experience! ”

Yes, old man, you are quite philosophical! Ji Yan looked at Li Gui with a smile, feeling that this old general was really interesting, at first he gave the impression of being loyal and brave, and the arrangement of defending the city made people feel that he was less strategic, and it was quite surprising to be able to draw a map, and now it is even more impressive to say this. Those who can stay in a high position for a long time really don't have a fuel-efficient lamp!

The two drank wine and chatted with each other, and about half an hour later, a young general hurriedly came to the hall and opened his mouth and said, "Grandfather, why did you call Xiao Sui back at this time?" I'm leading someone to practice the formation! After speaking, I found that it was not my grandfather sitting on the main seat, but it was today, and I quickly knelt down to pay respects.

Ji Yan let Li Suiping observe with interest behind him, only to see that he was dressed in leather armor, quite tall and sturdy and well-proportioned, standing upright like a javelin, with a face like a crown of jade, eyes like a star, and a hint of rebelliousness in his eyes, a handsome and proud little Langjun, which reminded him of Huo Qu's illness that he had seen in the TV series.

Li Gui looked at his favorite little grandson lovingly, and said softly: "Xiao Sui, haven't you always wanted to gallop on the battlefield? Now that the opportunity has come, no stage fright! ”

"Huh?" Li Sui's eyes lit up, "Grandfather, really? With whom to fight? Is it Qin Jun? Didn't they say they were scared away by the king? ”

Listening to this series of questions, Ji Yan couldn't help but shake his head secretly, young people are young people, no matter how good they are, but it is always difficult to get rid of the frizzy problem, of course, to put it nicely, this is sharp. He forgot that he was now a young man of the same age as Li Sui.

Li Gui's face sank: "The Son of Heaven is above, what kind of system is shouting?" ”

Li Suijun's face was slightly red, and he closed his mouth sneeringly, but he still had a look of wanting to say something, which made people feel gimmicked.

Li Gui continued: "Let you follow Ji Fang out of Luoyang to help the Son of Heaven do a big thing." ”

"It's not going to war!" Li Sui muttered in disappointment, but when he thought that he finally had the opportunity to get out of Luoyang, he secretly became excited again.

Ji Yan said slowly: "Although it is not a battle formation, but the danger in it may be better." ”

Li Sui arched his hand and said loudly: "As long as the king trusts, the last general will definitely handle this matter." ”

"This is headed by Ji Fang, and everything is arranged by him." Ji Yan specially explained, he was very worried that this proud little guy was thinking that he had made a big mistake.

"No." Li then went to prepare after answering the order.

After talking to Li Gui for a while, Ji Yan left the General's Mansion, and when he saw that it was about noon, he wanted to go to the city to see the business situation in Luoyang, but it was really inconvenient for him to be the son of heaven, so he asked the driver to drive the royal car back to the palace of the Son of Heaven and change into ordinary Chinese clothes.

Just about to go out, I remembered that I was completely unfamiliar with the market, so I couldn't see anything famous when I went in ignorance, so I asked someone to notify Wang Ding and asked her to wear ordinary clothes and go with her. I didn't take the car anymore, I didn't bring the attendants, and several of the guards who followed were also far away, and the two walked on foot, like a pair of lovers.

Ji Yan turned her head to look at Wang Ding beside her, she followed unhurriedly, with a moth eyebrows, a clever smile, beautiful eyes, a light green dark dress rippling on her body like flowing water, making Ji Yan's heart also ripple, and she had the urge to hold his soft hand. It's just that although this deep coat is quite similar to the long skirt of later generations, the sleeves are particularly wide, and all the arms and hands are hidden in the sleeves, so that Ji Yan has no idea where to start, and he is itchy for a while, so he is not depressed.

After walking for a while, he gradually came to the north gate of Miyagi, and Ji Yan walked straight towards the north gate. Wang Ding, who was walking, suddenly frowned and said, "Where is my king going?" ”

Ji Yan turned around and said, "Naturally, I went to the market!" ”

Wang Ding's face was slightly gloomy and said: "Etiquette: no more than a soldier will enter the market." How can I enter and leave the bazaar with the body of my king's daughter? ”

Ji Yan smiled and said: "I know that Sister Ah wants to stop me, you see, Lone is wearing ordinary Chinese clothes, as long as you don't say it, who knows that I am the Son of Heaven?" Seeing that Wang Ding was still calm, he salivated and leaned into Wang Ding's ear and said: "Sister, let's go, let's be an ordinary Chinese couple today, go to the market for a walk, and be a distraction!" After saying that, he stretched out his hand to grab the hand she had hidden in his sleeve.

Seeing Ji Yan's intimate action, Wang Ding was embarrassed for a while, and he was so frightened that he quickly dodged away, only to feel a fever on his face, and he swept around as if he was a thief, and saw that there were few people around who didn't pay attention at all, so he put his mind at ease, but his heart was still pounding, and he didn't dare to stop Ji Yan anymore, for fear that he would make a more outrageous move.

The two of them left the north gate of Miyagi, turned to the east, and walked for about a quarter of an hour before they came to the market.

Ji Yan stared at the cold and empty appearance of the Nuoda bazaar with wide eyes, and asked Wang Ding, "Isn't the market open yet?" ”

Wang Ding looked up at the sky, shook his head and said, "Now it's two o'clock in the afternoon, it should be the time of the big market." ”

"Big city? Is there still a small market? ”

"There are three types of markets, namely the morning market, the big market, and the evening market. The market began to trade at noon, and the people were the main people. The morning market begins to trade in the morning when the sun rises, and is dominated by merchants. The market starts trading when the sun is about to go down and is dominated by hawkers. ”

"So the market should be the most lively?"

"Yes."

"That's what it's like at its most lively? ......”

Ji Yan was stunned for a while, the big market is like this, not to mention the morning market and the evening market. Ay! The decline of a kingdom is like a serious illness of a person, and it is not smooth anywhere. Anyway, let's take a look first.

When they came to the entrance of the market, there were two men in front of them, one holding a horsewhip and the other holding a torture staff: "Two, what is the matter here?" ”

Ji Yan's eyelids rolled and said, "What's the matter?" What else do you say about entering the market? ”

Seeing that the two of them were extraordinary, the two men did not dare to be presumptuous, and patiently explained: "Anyone who is a trader carries goods, and the two of them have nothing, presumably not for trading." This is a place of market, so why bother to enter if you don't trade? ”

"Can't we use money to buy goods?" Ji Yan said angrily.

"If you use coins to shop, you have to take them out for me to see."

"What, I have to take out the money to show you when I enter the market?" Ji Yan felt that it was really unreasonable, and his voice couldn't help but rise.

Wang Ding pulled his sleeve behind him, shook his head slightly to signal him not to be angry, and said in a low voice: "Nowadays, the coins of various countries are different, and even the coins of different regions of the same country are different. Most places in our Zhou State and the Sanjin region use cloth coins, Qi Yanlu and other countries use knife coins, Qin and Wei countries use round coins, and Chu Yue and other countries use turtle coins. Coins from each country can only buy goods from that country, and each country's goods are in different areas. It was the duty of the officials to guide us into the market, so they offered to look at the coins in order to guide us to the place where we shopped. ”

"That's it!" Ji Yan found that he couldn't keep up with the rhythm of this era at all, "Why don't you find a place to exchange coins?" ”

Wang Ding shook his head and said: "Because all countries have wars from time to time, and the national strength is also turbulent, the value of coins is naturally unpredictable. ”

Ji Yan only felt that one head and two were big, and it was so troublesome! Now that there are so many vassal states, the coins of each country are different, and there is no clear exchange rate, isn't that a mess? How can multinational businessmen ensure profitability?

"None of these different coins have one thing in common?" Ji Yan stared at Wang Ding and asked.

Wang Ding thought for a while and said, "If you want to talk about the common ground, maybe they are all cast in bronze." ”

"yes, that's right!" Ji Yan laughed suddenly: "As long as there is something in common, you will definitely be able to find a way to exchange it." Since they are all cast in bronze, then we can weigh them, can't the same weight be exchanged for each other? ”

Wang Ding still shook his head: "It's still not good, the fineness of different coins will be different, and the value of different coins will be different if they are different." Some coins are in good condition, some are in poor fineness, and even the same currency is minted in different periods, and some countries deliberately use coins with poor fineness to buy foreign items. For example, when the Wei State was at its most prosperous, the merchants of the Great Liang gathered, and goods from various countries poured in, and King Hui of Wei minted a batch of bad coins, which were specially used to purchase foreign goods and collect countless goods. ”
