Chapter 124: Aristocrats
Hearing Zhang Jiao's complaint, the guy in the money village said with a bitter face: "Guest, this is already good."
A few days ago, when Lu Yang just happened, the exchange rate of the gold yuan and the golden knife fell to 90:1.
Now it is still the countries that have not used their swords, and they have only eased up a little.
If you're too low, you might as well wait. ”
"I have to take the money to make a hurry, and I can't delay it. Zhang Jiao said helplessly: "Forget it, forget it, 57:1 is 57:1."
You can change it to me. ”
After Zhang Jiao came to Shensnake Base to buy an oil field last time, he still had about 15,000 gold yuan left in his account.
Later, he received a salary of more than 5,000 gold yuan from the Haijing Extraordinary Association, and miscellaneous dividends, and the account was more relaxed.
But then he spent a lot of money to buy drill bits for drilling, and now the account balance is only a few more than 9,000.
"That's good, that's good. The man took Zhang Jiao's voucher, calculated for a while, took out 180 knife coins and a string of copper plates for him, and said, "Guest, please take your deposit." ”
The currency of Chu Jiangguo is a two-person system, except for the gold knife coin, it is a copper plate, which is converted into 100 copper coins for a knife coin.
Zhang Jiao, who was financially reduced to almost absolute poverty, carefully put the money in his backpack, left the bank, and went straight to the base office.
When I came to the suffocating and aggrieved civil affairs office that was built, there were still two officials guarding the door with their noses pierced, their eyes erected, and their faces full of fierce faces.
Zhang Jiao has the heart to try his identity as an exiled nobleman in front of the peripheral nerves of the ruling machines of these countries, and how many catties and taels is worth in the end.
stepped forward and arched his hand and said: "Lu Yang Changqiao Zhang family, Zhang Lingjiao, come to visit your official officer."
I also ask the two officials to give a briefing. ”
Those two officials didn't know where Luyang Changqiao Zhangjiao was sacred, but they knew that if they met a guy who reported the name of the place first and then said the surname, nine out of ten were nobles, and they were absolutely not to be despised .
Although he didn't get a bribe, he was a little more respectful than when Zhang Jiao came last time, and said with a smile: "Your honor, please wait."
Let's go and talk to the master. He turned and went through the door.
After only a few minutes, the official turned around and said with an unchanged smile: "Your Excellency, please come in, the lord is affectionate." ”
This kind of treatment was much better than Zhang Jiao's imagination, and he couldn't help but have a thought in his mind, "This Jiang Chu really deserves to be the most conservative vassal state in the Great Zhou system."
It is really unexpected to treat such a ragged exiled nobleman who has the audacity to come to the door and does not distinguish between the true and the false. ”
Stepped into the yamen.
There was already a goatee with gray hair on the side, and he was waiting for an old family member who was already quite old.
It doesn't look like a servant in the public office, but a personal butler or cronies of the commander.
Seeing Zhang Jiao enter the door, he immediately bowed down and said, "Gentleman of the Long Bridge, please come with me, my lord is already waiting in the main hall." ”
led Zhang Jiao through the lobby of the office, walked into a small door hidden behind a brocade screen, and entered a small and exquisite courtyard.
Continuing on, walking through a bamboo forest, the two came to a vermilion hall with carved beams and paintings.
Ascending the 3 steps, the old family entered the door and said, "Master, the gentleman of the Changqiao Zhang family is here." ”
When the words landed, Zhang Jiao took a step forward and bowed deeply in line with the principle that the feathered phoenix is not as good as a chicken, and many people are not to blame. ”
The hall was facing the door, and on the long bed with the peony screen, an old man wearing a brocade robe and a tattoo on his head that could kill flies saw this, hurriedly got up, supported Zhang Jiao and said: "The Changqiao Zhang family is famous all over the world.
I'm a scholar, how dare I be a gentleman in the doctor's family, so respectful, please hurry up.
Let's sit and talk. ”
According to the ancient rites of the Great Zhou Dynasty, sitting is kneeling.
Therefore, when Zhang Jiao heard this, he could only climb onto the bed with the old commander, and knelt down relatively far from Zhang Xiao.
The commander first toasted him with a cup of tea, and said straight to the point: "I don't know what the gentleman of the Long Bridge has to do in a secluded place?"
"My family and country are unfortunate, and there have been sudden drastic changes," Zhang Jiao said mournfully: "The elder of the family sent me to your country's Suzaku County, and returned to my sister to visit the old family and find some protection.
Because I have to go deep into the hinterland of your country, I will come to the yamen of the official to register. ”
As he spoke, Zhang Jiao took out his ID card from his backpack and respectfully handed it to the commander.
It stands to reason that such a trivial matter can be done by any scribe in the 'ground' room of the public office.
But the aristocracy, everything is decent, and it is normal to make a big fuss.
What's more, now Lu Yang doesn't even have the Internet in China, if it weren't for the descendants of all the princes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, they would all register their identity information on the processor of the Imperial Capital Noble Court, and this identity would not be verified.
And since it involves one of the three courts and two mansions of the imperial capital, no matter how small the matter, the focus of Long can never be wrong.
Therefore, the commander took Zhang Jiao's ID card, and the picture was extremely inconsistent, and he used a tablet computer to verify his identity.
After that, he immediately ordered someone to come over, took a photo of Zhang Jiao, and said with a smile: "Gentleman, please wait, the waist card will be done immediately." ”
There was a sentence with Zhang Jiao, and he didn't talk about gossip without a word.
After a while, the waist card was really ready and sent up.
It is an oval-shaped, badge-like bright gold metal plaque.
On the front is the seven big characters of 'Doctor in Luyang Long Bridge', which illustrates the lintel of Zhang Jiao.
On the back is a vivid portrait carved on the back, with the words 'Yan 84' and 'Lingjiao' written below, which illustrates the identity of the 84 generations of descendants of the Zhang family in Zhangjiao Changqiao.
Zhang Jiao took the waist card and left.
I thought that the commander might be polite and ask a certain car dealer in the base to send a direct luxury RV to Suzaku County.
And Zhang Jiao, who was shy in his pocket, just said a few words, and agreed gratefully.
But such a beautiful thing did not happen, which made Zhang Jiao understand that the exiled nobles were exiled nobles after all.
It's easy to get respect that doesn't matter, but it's hard to really bother others to bother.
180 gold knives plus hundreds of copper plates, crossing most of the Shennongjia and half of the Chujiang Guozheng District, is really a difficult task.
But Zhang Jiao, who didn't want to continue to delay time, could only bite the bullet and go wherever he went, and there must be a road before the car reached the mountain.
And the first step is to leave the Shen Snake base first.
He was also reluctant to find a broker, so after leaving the office, he found a random vendor who sold cakes, bought a bag of cooking cakes, and nibbled on them while asking passers-by about the location of the bus stop.
But he didn't expect that as a regular defense base of Chu Jiangguo, Shen Snake didn't even have public transportation, only expensive private cars.
Forced to be helpless, Zhang Jiao could only turn to inquire about the names and locations of the largest, most formal and most reputable car dealerships in Shenshe.
After a long period of effort, I finally figured it out, so I shopped around and found the door one by one.
