Chapter 17: The Beginning
With the knowledge learned from the earth, he can definitely crush all the merchants in this world, maybe he will be the kind of person who is rich and rival the country in the future, and he will use eight good horses to pull the cart when he travels, and bring a large group of thugs with him at any time.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhonghui's harazi almost flowed out. He was excited, and immediately found out his embarrassment, but fortunately no one around saw it, otherwise he would have made a fool of himself.
Since he had looked at the future path for himself, he decided to start from now, starting from the ground, and the first step to escape the other world was to start from stepping out of this door.
Half an hour later, it turned out that he shouldn't have stepped out of the door alone.
The entire Prince's Mansion was too big, and Zhong Hui thought that he could walk to the gate by walking a random road, but he didn't expect to wander around the Prince's Mansion for half an hour and never found a way out.
Eventually, he found a maid. Under the leadership of the maid, he, who originally had a strong sense of direction, was finally confused. It took about five minutes to find a small door, which was different from the main gate they entered yesterday, and it seemed that it should be a side door.
Zhong Hui came in from the side door and walked to the street, the wide street was full of deserted people and carriages, and people with burdens came one after another, a prosperous phenomenon.
He chose to go to the center with a lot of people, and wanted to see more of the most characteristic center of this "ancient". Along the way, looking at the various signboards on both sides of the road, although the words are a little unrecognizable, but not all of them are round and rolling, and there are also many square words, which can still be recognized.
After walking for about an hour, he stopped in front of a building called Jubao Zhai. The store looks like a big store, and none of the shops around it are as tall as a five-story building, and that alone makes it extraordinary. Zhong Hui thought that since it was a big store, he would have to see and understand how to do it, so he raised his feet and walked into Jubao Zhai.
As soon as Zhong Hui entered the store, he looked left and right, and found that this Jubao Zhai looked like a simple store in his previous life. There are all kinds of goods on the shelves of Jubao Zhai, what jade, porcelain, and some ornaments, weapons, etc., and the price is not low, even the cheapest dagger costs one or two silver.
By the way, Zhong Hui understood from Guan Yi that the currency of the Central Chu Empire was converted like this: the lowest denomination currency was a square copper coin, called Datong Tianci square money, and then a hundred cold copper square coins could be exchanged for a cold square silver coin, and five hundred cold silver coins were considered one or two silver, and there was also a kind called silver tickets, with a minimum denomination of ten taels and a maximum of one hundred taels, which was directly handled by the money and salt department of the Central Chu Empire, and this money and salt department was like a national bank, in charge of the currency and salt and iron manufacturing of Zhongchu.
There are still a lot of people at the bottom of Jubao Zhai, all of them are people dressed in brocade clothes, and it seems that the business of this store is not bad.
The clerk waiting on the side had already seen such a person with a different appearance and dressed in fancy clothes, and from the actions and demeanor of the person who entered the store, he obviously felt that this person was coming to Jubaozhai for the first time, so he walked up and greeted him.
Zhong Hui was looking at the furnishings of the whole room, wanting to learn the style of store decoration, and the voice of the clerk sounded in his ears.
"Seeing that this son has just arrived in Jubao Zhai, he may not know the situation of our Jubao Zhai, why don't you let me take my son around for a visit?"
Zhong Hui was looking for someone to introduce me to the fundamental situation of this store, but he didn't expect someone to come up directly.
"Well, it's my first time here for you, I heard that you are the largest store in the capital, I want to see it here, you can first introduce me to some basic conditions of this store. ”
"Childe, your eyes are really good, to be honest, our shop, it is the largest treasure pavilion store in the entire Shangjing City, which sells rare and exotic treasures, and there are branches in the entire Zhongchu Empire and even several surrounding countries. There are a few other stores in Shangjing that are the same as us, but as long as we are the largest and most famous. The clerk said confidently.
"The whole Jubao Zhai is divided into five layers, the first floor is just selling ordinary gadgets, from the beginning of the second floor is some rare items, the top floor will only be open when presenting a treasure that is difficult to estimate, and after the opening is to stop selling in the form of auction, but not everyone can go up, as long as you become a VIP of Jubao Zhai, receive an invitation to Jubao Zhai. Childe, please come with me, and now I will show you the situation on the second floor. ”
With that, the clerk led the bell up to the second floor.
Zhong Hui followed the clerk and was walking to the second floor, when from the second floor came down a richly dressed son, the shirt was a mixture of red and yellow, embroidered with an unrecognized bird, with a dark green jade around his waist, with a beautiful clue, clear edges and corners, at a glance it was everyone's son, followed by a group of people who nodded and bowed, and he was like a slave.
The staircase is not large and is only accessible to three people side by side. The clerk who walked in front bowed his head sideways to say hello after seeing this son.
But Zhong Hui basically didn't know who this birdman was, plus he had just arrived in this world, and he didn't have this kind of respect and inferiority, he could call the prince a brother and brother, no matter who the guy in front of him was, so he didn't give way sideways.
This boy has obviously never encountered such a situation, and there will be someone who stands in front of him without knowing each other. He stared at the man in front of him and saw that the person in front of him was also staring at him. Before he could speak, a dogleg behind him immediately shouted.
"That thing that doesn't have long eyes is blocking your son's way? ”
Originally, Zhong Hui was ready to make a move, more is better than less, but I didn't expect someone to say this about him, he just didn't want to fight, it doesn't mean that he has no temper, plus he has the support of the crown prince, and he is afraid of this stupid urging?
"Please take care of your dog, don't bite people if you have nothing to do, if you can't take care of it, I don't mind helping you take care of it. ”
The young man in the costume originally stared at Zhong Hui and found that this person was not afraid, and he didn't seem to be pretending at all, and he didn't want to talk to him too much, so he wanted to separate directly. Unexpectedly, this person would compete with each other as soon as he spoke up, and he didn't know what his identity was, and he didn't let him suffer a little, he didn't know how thick the sky was.
He didn't say much to Zhong Hui, and waved his hand directly, indicating that his subordinates would go up and pick him up.
A group of doglegs got the orders of their masters, and one by one they were ready to beat up this rampant man.
The clerk who had been obscene next to him from the beginning saw that Zhong Hui and the young man in Chinese clothes were confronting each other, and the current situation was not under his control, so he was so frightened that he immediately ran to find the shopkeeper.
