As soon as you pass through the city gate, it is a wide commercial street, there are shops on both sides of the street, there are inns with wine flags, there are pawnshops with dangzi signs, there are candle shops with red candle flags, and there are blacksmith shops with the sound of banging iron, pedestrians come and go on the street, there is an endless stream, very prosperous.

Wang Zhi and others, because of their strange dress, attracted frequent sideways glances from pedestrians, but the atmosphere of the Song Dynasty was still relatively open, and no one would meddle in their affairs and find trouble to provoke them. Of course, this is the premise that Wang Zhi asked Zhao Lingyun to wear a hat to cover her short silver-white hair, otherwise she would definitely be treated as a demon and shouted and killed.

At this point, the first thing is to confirm the era name at this time, and then recruit people.

Generally speaking, the best place to inquire about the news is the inn, but they have just eaten porridge, and it is not good to go to the inn, so they simply chose a cloth shop.

Go in, as in many TV dramas, first of all, there is a big counter, and there is cloth and silk on the shelves behind it, if a distinguished guest comes, the guy will immediately welcome him and bring it into the back box to serve tea and serve it carefully, but Wang Zhi and a group of people are dressed so strangely, they don't look like nobles, but for the sake of his coat, there is still a guy who took the initiative to greet him: "This master, but I want to buy cloth." ”

Wang Zhi's short hair was a monk in the eyes of ancient people, after all, it was not so easy to shave his head in ancient times, that is, to cut it shorter.

"Show me the cloth." Wang Zhi casually pointed to a piece of cloth on the counter.

"Master has a good eye, this is fine silk." Seeing that Wang Zhi bought such a good thing as soon as he made a move, the guy immediately stammered, and even the title changed from master to master.

Wang Zhi didn't come to buy cloth in the first place, so he didn't even look at the cloth that the guy brought, and asked directly, "How much is this cloth?" ”

"What does the master use to pay the bill, if it is a copper coin, it will only cost 1,200 yuan, if it is an iron coin, it will cost three times, and if it is a handover, it will cost 12 times."

"Where's the silver?" Wang Zhi's body is silver except for gold.

"Silver?" The guy was a little surprised, before there was a large amount of overseas silver imported in the Ming Dynasty in ancient times, there was always a shortage of silver on the market, don't look at the TV series where those heroes took a big ingot of silver, in fact, silver has never been a circulating currency, because the stock is too small, "If it is silver, one or two will do." ”

Guan, is the unit of measurement of copper coins, it is usually believed that a thousand Wen is consistent, but it does not mean that one or two silver is equal to consistent money, sometimes one or two silver can be exchanged for two or three Guan money, and usually can be exchanged for a thousand or several hundred Wen.

Wang Zhi directly reached into his arms and took out a piece of silver collar, the silver of the Tang Dynasty was all in this style.

Seeing that Wang Zhi took out such a large piece of silver at once, the guy's eyes were straight, let alone fifty taels, and he hurriedly said: "The guest officer will bring it a little." ”

Then he immediately ran to call the shopkeeper, who was wearing satin clothes and looked very rich, and when he came out, he was also surprised to see the silver collar on the counter.

Greeted Wang Zhi, the shopkeeper immediately took out scissors and a small name and began to weigh the silver, first cut off a piece from Wang Zhi's silver collar with scissors, and then put it on the scale, "One or two or three coins, master, look at it." ”

The shopkeeper showed Wang Zhi the weighing rod, but where could he understand this thing, so he didn't speak, and he recognized it.

"Master, you will be charged one or two for cloth money, and the extra three coins will be exchanged for copper coins for you, and you can usually use the expenses, master, your silver collar is too conspicuous, and this city is not stable!" The shopkeeper kindly reminded.

"Shopkeeper, I have been practicing in the mountains for many years, I don't know the years outside, may I ask what year it is today?"

"It's seven years of political peace."

"Masawa!" Because he knew that this world was the Northern Song Dynasty, he deliberately checked the era name of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhenghe, and most people may be very unfamiliar with it, but when it comes to the emperor at this time, I believe most people know that Zhao Ji, the one who appointed Gao Yu in the Water Margin, is also one of the two emperors who were taken away by the Jin people in the Jingkang disaster, the famous faint monarch in Chinese history, and also a particularly cultured faint monarch.

"Zhenghe is only eight years, and there is a Xuanhe later, which is seven years, and then Jingkang, which means that the Northern Song Dynasty only has eight years of national fortune left, and it is very early not to panic."

Wang Zhi didn't panic, because for him, Jin Bing was very easy to deal with, and he didn't have to face a big enemy like other traversers.

After taking a string of copper coins handed over by the shopkeeper, and then giving the cloth to Zhao Dawa to hold, Wang Zhi asked the shopkeeper, "May I ask how to go to Yaxing?" ”

Tooth shop, is an important part of ancient commerce, is in the market for buyers and sellers to agree, introduce transactions, and extract commissions of the firm or intermediary businessmen, equivalent to the current intermediary, in the ancient times when the information is not enough circulation, but where there is business, there will be a tooth shop this institution, but also a connection between the government and the business community of an institution.

"If the master wants to find a tooth man, why bother to come to the door in person, just stay in the small shop, I will send a guy to invite."

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey." Although I don't know if this shopkeeper is really polite or has any bad intentions, Wang Zhi still accepted his kindness, after all, for a powerful person like him, any conspiracy and trickery are false.

So, Wang Zhi was introduced to the back hall to drink tea, Zhao Lingyun immediately followed, and the shopkeeper saw that Wang Zhi did not say anything, and did not stop him, thinking that it was Wang Zhi's daughter, and asked the man to serve tea to the two.

-- In recent years, there have been more monks and Taoists who do not abide by the rules and precepts, and those who keep the rules and precepts are abnormal.

As soon as Wang Zhi looked at the color and composition of the tea in the tea bowl, he knew that there was an ingredient inside, and he didn't move at all, but Zhao Lingyun didn't know, he immediately picked it up and drank it when he saw it, and then squirted it out: "What kind of taste is this!" ”

In the Song Dynasty, although the so-called tea was popular, in the folk, most people still like to add things to the tea soup like the Tang Dynasty, such as oil, salt, ginger, etc., the taste is very strange for modern people to drink anyway.

"Why is that?" Seeing Zhao Lingyun's reaction, the shopkeeper was a little strange, even if he felt that the tea was not good, he wouldn't spit it out directly, it was too rude.

"It's okay, I'm used to drinking tea, she can't get used to eating this kind of tea soup."

"I see."

The shopkeeper of the cloth shop accepted this explanation, after all, rich people are always delicate, and immediately instructed the man to make a bowl of tea again, and then talked to Wang Zhipan, mainly to inquire about his origin.

"I'm not a monk, so the shopkeeper doesn't have to call me a master."

"You're not a monk?" The shopkeeper of the cloth shop was a little surprised, and Wang Zhi's previous remarks and attitudes looked like he was a monk practicing in the mountains.

"I'm just practicing in the mountains, I'm not a monk, I'm not a monk, I'm not a Taoist." Wang Zhi explained that since he wants to dominate the world in this world, even if he doesn't plan to hide his identity as a person from another world, he still has to have an identity under the guise of an accident before the incident.

"Then why is your hair so short?" The shopkeeper of the cloth shop asked, he was now a little worried that Wang Zhi was a thief or a hero of the green forest, after all, in ancient times, in addition to monks, there were only criminals who had been tortured except for monks.

"The hair was too long and too cumbersome to care for, so it was cut short."

"How can this be so, how can the parents who have been affected by the skin of the body be easily damaged."

Wang Zhi didn't answer, he didn't want to bother with this inconsequential issue.

Although the shopkeeper of the cloth shop was also educated in Confucianism, he was still a businessman at heart, and it was basic to observe words and looks, seeing that Wang Zhi was unwilling to continue on this topic, he did not say much, so he immediately changed the topic and chatted with Wang Zhi about something else.

As a person from the era of the information explosion, Wang Zhi can be said to know astronomy and geography, and occasionally say some business methods, and soon said that the shopkeeper of the cloth shop was stunned, and he couldn't wait to apprentice on the spot.

Just when they were enjoying themselves, the man came back with the tooth man, a shrewd little old man, and when he saw Wang Zhi, he arched his hand and asked, "I don't know what this master commands?" ”

"I want to rent a yard in this city, I don't know if there is a ready-made one?" Wang Zhi doesn't plan to start an incident for the time being, he needs a place to settle his subordinates, rather than bothering to build one outside, it is better to rent a yard directly in the county seat, as for why it is rented rather than buying, because renting is much less than buying.

"This matter is easy, this county is located on the border, many families have moved to the south, the houses are managed by our and other dental stores, and there are not a few ready-made yards, what are the requirements of the officials?"

"It's big enough."

"There are more than ten such houses in this county, why don't you take the master to see it on the spot and then make a decision?"

"Okay, let's go!"
