At this point in verse 30, the man had finished telling the story. Then he picked up a worn-out straw hat from the ground. I shook it, and I didn't know what this straw hat was made of. Suddenly there was dust. The morning sun shines obliquely from the rays. The dust is shiny and clearly visible.

He didn't care, wiping a handful of sweat from his face. Then he made a circle to the surrounding audience, and said with a hippie smile: "Folks, I have also listened to a story today, if you think it's okay." Or enjoy two copper flowers. The old rules. Two coppers for one person. More don't. If you have less, you will not receive it. ”

With that, he took the draft hat. walked straight to a person dressed as a guy in the tea room: "Little Lizi, please." ”

Probably this man has been doing this business for a long time, and he is already familiar with these listeners, and the guy suddenly let out a sigh and sighed softly: "Ding Heizi, can't you tell the rest of the story in one go?" Hang our appetite for the elderly. We have to wait until the afternoon again. How do you spend this day? ”

This Ding Heizi smiled. Then he pointed to the sun that had risen in the air, and replied: "Xiao Lizi, tell some stories below, and I also have no way to eat, and now this army is in chaos." There are a few nobles who still have the leisure to listen to this thing. I will also tell some interesting stories to the villagers in the morning and evening for entertainment. Then everyone gave me a few odds, and I could eat with a mouthful of food. Now that the day is getting high, everyone has to go back to doing things. So, if you want to listen to the following, you should wait until the evening, when everyone is free. ”

Speaking of this, he seemed to think of something: "Mixed up to such a point, we are really insulting to the ancestors." Then he sighed again and again.

The guy surnamed Li heard him say this, and he didn't want to say anything, so he didn't hesitate anymore. He took out two coppers from his bosom. Brushed it off, looked at it a little reluctantly, and then threw it into Ding Heizi's straw hat.

There was a sudden uproar in the crowd, and everyone took out the copper and threw it into the man's straw hat. For a while, the "jingling" was so unpleasant.

In a few moments, a thin layer of copper plates was piled up in the shabby straw hat. And the smile on the master's dark and thin face suddenly bloomed.

He went all the way. It didn't take long to come to Zhang Hao and Wu Ming, Wu Ming was looking down and thinking about his own thoughts, and he didn't notice that the other party had come to him.

Zhang Hao was a little frightened, and turned his head to look into the distance uneasily. Ding Heizi didn't urge, just smiled and said softly: "Two coppers, don't want more, thank you." ”

Zhang Hao knew that he couldn't hide now, and when he heard this, he coughed embarrassedly: "We are just passing by, not here to listen to your story." ”

In fact, he and Wu Ming came out to purchase together, and they must have money on them, but they only carried silver, and there was also such a thing as copper. And the other party only said that he wanted two coppers, but he really didn't have them on him.

And asked Zhang Hao to use the broken silver on his body to offset the account, which he would never refuse. After all, Zhang Hao is also from a poor family, and he has suffered enough since he was a child. There is no habit of Lang fee. In the past two years with Wu Ming, Wu Ming has also been diligent and thrifty. It doesn't have the luxury of other Guards warriors. So he definitely doesn't want to be the big one.

Ding Heizi didn't say anything, the onlookers suddenly stopped, and the little plum just now also jumped out and said loudly: "Hey, isn't it just about two coppers?" People don't ask for much, it's just a little tea money, do you have some good taste? ”

The others also echoed in unison, and suddenly the crowd was surging, and everyone looked angry. The sound of cursing was endless.

Zhang Hao's face suddenly swelled into a pig's liver. He craned his neck and said loudly, "We ......"

Wu Ming woke up at this time, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhang Hao, and said to the crowd: "Everyone, I'm sorry, my brother is more anxious. It's not that he won't give it, it's because the money is all with me, and I'll pay for it. With that, he touched himself into his arms.

The little plum said stupidly: "That's it, otherwise, the tea money is gone, what kind of story do you tell." These people......

Wu Mingchao smiled apologetically, and then stretched out his hand. With a flick of his fingers, a silver-gray arc crossed everyone's eyes. Only a crisp sound of "ding" was heard, and a small piece of broken silver the size of a thumb suddenly rolled into the straw hat and jumped in a pile of copper. Then I shook it a few times and didn't move.

There was silence. Only the sound of a small piece of broken silver rolling off the straw hat remained, and the aftermath lingered, clear and clear/.

Everyone suddenly opened their mouths wide and stared at the piece of broken silver. Someone even heard the sound of swallowing saliva. Everyone turned their eyes to look at Wu Ming and the others, and their faces became weird.

Zhang Hao suddenly came to his senses, straightened his waist, and said loudly: "How about it, dare to say that we have no money, I can't scare you to death." Hum. ”

Nanban's mining technology was backward, despite the existence of special products such as gold. Gold is abundant. But gold is so valuable that it can't be used for currency trading, so it circulates in the market. It is still dominated by silver and copper.

And silver is scarce in the Southern Barbarians. Most of the silver used in circulation came from the Eastern Han Dynasty. "Scarcity is expensive", this is suitable everywhere. Many big families and big businessmen frantically bought silver and used it for jewelry and the like. And with the war between the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Southern Barbarians. The trade routes between the two sides were almost cut off. And the Nanban and Persia have also been in a state of hostility. This almost broke the silver roots, so silver was even more scarce.

For a time, the price of silver rose wildly, while the value of gold and copper fell sharply compared with the Eastern Han Dynasty.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, one tael of silver could be exchanged for about 1,000 coppers, while in Nanban, it could be exchanged for about 1,500 to 2,000, which was only the official purchase price set by the Nanban government, and the people were about to copy one tael of silver and 3,000 Wen. But often it is not received.

Wu Ming knew the twists and turns in this. He was in a hurry, so he touched such a piece of broken silver to offset the price. According to his understanding, this piece of broken silver is only half a tael of silver, about 500 yuan, although it is a little more. But I still have to ask the other party, but I don't care too much.

According to the current market price of Nanban, this piece of silver is worth at least 1,500 Wen, and this Ding Heizi has to get up early in the morning and tell the story for half a month, and he has to pray that God will fulfill him and be sunny every day.

Ding Heizi stared at the small piece of broken silver lying in the straw hat, his face changed, and after a while, he gritted his teeth. Tremblingly, he took out the small piece of broken silver from the shabby straw hat, then pinched it, handed it to Wu Ming, and said with a careful smile: "My lord, don't worry about them, it's a small blessing that adults can come to listen to my story." The little ones dare to ask for your money. I also hope that the adults will spare the small ones this time, and spare everyone. ”

He didn't say anything, but as soon as he said this, the crowd suddenly burst into flames, and in an instant, they walked cleanly, as if avoiding the plague, avoiding the two of them.

For a while, the place that was originally very lively was deserted, and only Na Ding Heizi stood there, pinching a piece of silver. I can't advance or retreat, and I am embarrassed.

Wu Ming looked at him, and then looked at himself dressed as a hunter, and his heart was also happy, and he showed the silver himself. It is estimated that these people regard themselves as members of the "Mountain Dog Army".

But he didn't break it, nodded, and said to this Ding Heizi: "You're welcome, follow me into the city first, I still have something to ask you, and I answer satisfactorily, this silver is yours." ”

After speaking, he didn't care about him, called Zhang Hao, and walked straight to the city, Na Ding Heizi cried with a sad face, and followed behind the two of them. I didn't dare to touch the money in the straw hat. Hunched over, almost at the level of his ass. Holding the straw hat in both hands, he carefully followed behind.

Most of the listeners who dispersed just now didn't go far to see Ding Heizi like this. All sympathize. From afar, he pointed at the three of them. It was as if Wu Ming had done something unreasonable.

Wu Ming frowned, but he couldn't say anything, turned his head, and when he saw this Ding Heizi's haba look, he suddenly became angry and scolded: "What are you doing like this, you don't need to be so respectful, come forward, I still have something to ask you, remember to be natural." I have a mandate, and I can't expose it. ”

Na Ding Heizi suddenly caught up with the two of them, patted his chest, and said with a smile on his face: "If your lord has anything to say, just ask me, there is nothing in the sky and on the earth that I Ding Heizi does not know." ”

This cowhide was blown a little big, Zhang Hao was suddenly a little unhappy, he shouted: "Don't be flamboyant here." Do you know why this city is called Tidal City? ”

Most of these place names are casually called by locals. Over time, it has become a place name, what else can be the reason there, Zhang Hao asked so casually, that is, he can't get used to his villain's ambition, and there are many difficult elements.

The black man cleared his throat, his thin black head began to shake again, and replied, "Good question, my lord! Tides, tides, this thing generally appears along the coast. Why is the city so named? ”

Probably he had an occupational illness again, standing there alone, intoxicated, Zhang Hao suddenly became angry, poked his fingers and scolded: "Say it quickly, don't worry about it there, you want to delay time, right?" ”

Ding Heizi's neck shrunk and replied: "It was recorded in the ancestor's "Journey to a Foreign Land": The 'tide' city was originally called Baicheng, so the city is rich in a kind of big trees, and the wind blows the leaves. The sound of thin leaves is like the tide of Lang. Hence the term 'tide'. During the time of Emperor Khan, Persia went east, and the army was trapped in Baicheng and could not advance or retreat. At that time, the Persian commander-in-chief Hanbali once wrote a poem, lamenting that 'the leaves are dense and the moon is white arboreal crows, and the wind blows the leaves and hangs tears.' The tide is full of people, and he is alone in the east of his home. ’”

Speaking of this, as if afraid that the two of them would not believe it, he stretched out his right finger and pointed to the two big trees above the heads of several people: "Ah, that's the tide tree." ”

As if to confirm his words, a fresh breeze blew, and the fine branches and leaves danced up and down with the wind, making a tidal sound.

Zhang Hao was stunned, he really didn't know that there was such an allusion here. I had to hum a little, then rolled my eyes.

Wu Ming was shocked, as if in a dream, and Li Heizi's words seemed to echo in his ears: "The ancestor's "Journey to a Foreign Land" ......"

"Travels in a Foreign Land" is a masterpiece, when Wu Ming first came to this world and understood this world, it was from this book that Ding Shou, who wrote this book, was one of the few people Wu Ming admired when he came to this world. Could it be that this Ding Heizi is still his descendant?

Why is it so miserable?

Khan you sweat, readers are so looking forward to it, I still want to save some manuscripts, how embarrassed am I, I am still in the academy recently, and I still have to do homework, I will write some points, I'm sorry.
