"What's wrong, Ah Jian?" Poison Island asked curiously.

Although Poison Island was able to communicate with Liu Jian without barriers, they did not understand Chinese after all. When Liu Jian talked to the shopkeeper, they could understand what Liu Jian said, but they couldn't understand what the shopkeeper said.

"Nothing, just a little weird." As he spoke, Liu Jian retold the conversation between Fang Cai and Xiao Er to Poison Island and Miyamoto Rei.

After listening, the faces of the two girls showed puzzled looks.

In the history of mankind, when there was not a full exchange, many countries from the East to the West invariably used gold and silver as precious metals. Everywhere, as long as silver can be used for money, then gold will certainly be able to do it, and it will be worth more.

This place is obviously a look of ancient China, but the shopkeeper looks like he doesn't recognize gold at all, which can't be called strange, but impossible.

The three of them discussed a few words, but they couldn't understand the reason for this.

"No matter how much, everyone is hungry, let's eat first, I'll ask when I'm full." As he spoke, Liu Jian picked up the chopsticks, sandwiched a slice of yellow beef, and put it in his mouth: "Well, it tastes good." ”

The ordinary-looking braised beef is incomparably fragrant and tender, full and juicy. I tried the other dishes again. Sure enough, it is the first catering and accommodation chain in ancient times, and there is absolutely nothing to say about this taste, and it is not much worse than the star-rated hotels of later generations.

Seeing the sweetness of Liu Jian's food, Miyamoto Li and Poison Island Tsuneko also tasted a few bites, and they were immediately conquered by this unique delicacy.

Xiao Er happened to come back at this time, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, your silver is a total of three taels and eight coins, and it is full of color!" Wine and food only need one tael, three dollars of silver for a night in the room, and you will be looking for two taels and nine dollars of miscellaneous silver. ”

As he spoke, he placed a small pile of broken silver nuggets on the table.

Liu Jian casually picked up a piece of silver from the pile of silver he recovered, threw it to the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "The second brother is a real person. ”

Xiao Er hurriedly thanked: "Our store has always been a good business. I don't know if the wine and food can still satisfy the appetite of the guest officer? There are only these in the shop, which makes the guest officer smile. ”

Xiao Er saw that the silver bracelets that Liu Jian took out were by no means ordinary, this guest officer must have come from a lot of ways, and the reward just now was also very generous, Xiao Er was afraid that he would not take care of it.

After giving the reward, Liu Jian asked cautiously: "Little second brother, haven't you really heard of seeing gold?" ”

"This guest officer, the little one has really never heard of." The little second brother's face showed a bitter color, and then he turned around his head: "It's better to ask the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper has a lot of knowledge, and I think I should know." ”

"Shopkeeper, have you ever heard of gold?"

"Gold, what's that?" There was a scolding voice at the counter: "How do I know? Don't go serve your food yet! What a fool at the door! ”

was scolded by the shopkeeper for a while, and the shopkeeper's face showed some fear, and said to Liu Jian: "This guest officer, I don't even know the shopkeeper, I'm afraid that there are few people in Fuzhou City who know." Guest, you eat slowly, and the small ones are busy first. ”

The shopkeeper ran away and got busy, Liu Jian touched his chin and sank for a while and finally stood up and came to the counter, and put a tael of silver on the counter at the shopkeeper who kept fiddling with abacus beads on the counter, and then asked, "Shopkeeper, is it okay to ask you something?" ”

"Of course, of course." The shopkeeper wiped his hand, and the silver disappeared into his sleeve, and then he laughed and said, "This guest officer, I don't know if you have anything to ask?" ”

"I don't know which dynasty and which emperor is now in this place?" Liu Jian finally chose to ask directly, although this question is very risky, but if he doesn't ask clearly, Liu Jian really has no way to feel at ease.

"Of course, our Hengyang City is under the rule of Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty." The shopkeeper first said a 'big rebellion' as a matter of course, and then laughed and said: "The guest's clothes are quite strange, I guess it's not my Ming people, right?" I don't know if this guest official is from the Great Song Dynasty, Great Liao, Dali, or Great Mongolia and Great Qing Dynasty? ”

Emperor Wuzong of the Ming Dynasty?!!!

Also big song!

Also Da Liao!

Also Dali!

Also big Mongolia!

It's also clear!

"I came by boat from overseas." Liu Jian was dizzy by the shopkeeper's 'great rebellion' and a series of big characters that broke out, but he still gave a very curtailed answer.

"Oh, it turns out that the guest officer is from overseas. If you want to come overseas, you must use the gold that the guest officer said as money. The shopkeeper's face showed some curiosity, but he didn't ask, but continued: "Although the little one doesn't know what the price of this gold is overseas, we here in Shenzhou only recognize silver." The gold brought by the guests is only afraid that it will not be easy to use here. ”

"I see, thank you shopkeeper."

Liu Jian was more and more confused by the shocking revelation of the shopkeeper, but he also figured it out.

This is definitely not any dynasty in the history of China.

The truth of the matter is definitely beyond my imagination.

"Could it be that I have traveled into some alternate history novel?"

"I don't know the shopkeeper's surname?"

"Don't have your surname Fang, the guest officer can call our shopkeeper."

Liu Jian thought for a while and continued to ask: "Shopkeeper, I only came here from overseas a few days ago...... China. I know almost nothing about this land of China, and I don't know if the shopkeeper has time to introduce it to me? ”

"This ......"

Seeing that the shopkeeper was a little hesitant, Liu Jian didn't say a word, and put two more ingots of broken silver.

"Then I'll talk about it in detail for the guest officer." The shopkeeper's sleeve was wiped, and the two ingots of broken silver disappeared again. invited Liu Jian to sit down, and poured tea for Liu Jian. Picked up the teacup and took a sip to moisten his throat, and the shopkeeper spoke again.

"Our Shenzhou, there are now mainly eight countries. The south, first of all, is our Daming. Originally, there was a small court in the Southern Ming Dynasty, but now the Southern Ming Dynasty has been wiped out by the Qing army in the north, so there are only two countries left in the south of Shenzhou, my Ming Dynasty and the Qing Kingdom. In the Central Plains, the Song Dynasty Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi brothers built the Song Dynasty, and later the two brothers turned against each other, and the Song Dynasty was divided into two. The country built by Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, is called the Northern Song Dynasty because it is in Kaifeng Bianliang and is close to the north. That Zhao Guangyi called himself Song Gaozu, and the country he built was also called Song, but the capital was in Lin'an, so it was called the Southern Song Dynasty. And in the north, there are three countries built by the barbarians of the grassland, the west is built by the Dangxiang people called the Western Xia, the middle is built by the Khitan people called Da Liao, and the east is built by the Jurchens called the Jin State. In addition, there is now a new force in the steppe, called Mongolia. I heard that this Mongolian is fierce, and the Jin Kingdom and Daliao can't stand it. Of course, there is still a Dali in Bashu in the south, but it is a small country, and it cannot be compared with these eight countries. ”

"Are these countries fighting each other badly?"

"Amazing, why isn't it amazing." Shopkeeper Fang took a sip of tea and said, "Didn't Mongolia rush to Xiangyang in the Southern Song Dynasty some time ago?" At that time, if Guo Jing and Guo Daxia hadn't led the beggars to help, I was afraid that this Xiangyang City would have been broken by the Mongols a long time ago. The Mongols are so ruthless, I heard that they must slaughter the city if they break it, if they break the city...... Think about it, it's really pitiful for the people of Xiangyang. ”
