Chapter 35: I Have Money

The courtyard of Shijiazhuang is a three-entry courtyard, covered with wooden walls and tiles, and Shi Taigong and Shi Jin live in the last courtyard.

Walking out of the gate, there is a large threshing wheat field, and there are other buildings around the yard, also made of wood, but the top is not covered with tiles, but grass, which seems to be a place for feeding livestock.

Outside, there was a fence, about a man high, and the wall should be of earth, covered with wheat stalks and the like. Outside the wall are tall willow trees, "ten thousand hanging green silk silks".

Looking at the green eyes and the warm sun, Li Jiannan already knew that this was spring.

The "car" was parked just outside the gate.

But the moment Li Jiannan saw the so-called "car", he was disappointed.

Two large wooden wheels, with thick planks on top and wooden "carriages" made of wood, closed on three sides and open at the tail.

The windows are open on three sides of the closed carriage, the curtain is hung at the rear of the carriage, and the roof of the carriage is arched, which seems to be made of bamboo strips, and I don't know if there is any effect of sheltering from the rain.

Just looking at the carriage, this "car" is still very good.

However, the key thing is that the cart is actually pulled by a big buffalo, which will pull the "car" down several notches at once.

Standing next to the carriage, the young man holding the cow should be Wang Si, dressed in gray, shorter than Shi Jin, thin, but not "yellow and thin", he didn't seem to be hungry, he looked smart, and when he saw Shi in and out, he bent down and saluted, calling him "Da Lang".

Li Jiannan nodded, which was regarded as a return gift, and walked straight to the rear of the car without stopping.

Li Jiannan bent down and got into the car, sat opposite Shi Taigong, and the ox cart set off staggeringly.

Seeing the ox cart out of the village gate, to the north on the road, all the way to the east, Li Jiannan also guessed the destination of the trip, the book said that Shijia Village belongs to Huayin County, Shi Taigong said "county", must be Huayin County.

The cart pulled by the ox, of course, is not fast, it is similar to a human walk, but it is not very bumpy.

The ox cart went all the way forward, Li Jiannan looked out from the window, green mountains and green waters, blue sky and white clouds, no polluted environment, dizzying beautiful scenery everywhere, and breathed the fresh air with the fragrance of earth, and after a while, he was intoxicated by the melting spring light.

It's like a spring outing in a sightseeing car!

Along the way, if it weren't for the occasional passerby, if it weren't for Shi Taigong next to him, Li Jiannan would have almost forgotten that this was the [Trial World].

However, the long journey is once again beyond Li Jiannan's imagination.

Seeing that it was already in the middle of the day, he estimated that the ox cart had traveled for at least two hours, that is, four hours, and according to the speed of people walking at about 5 km/h, it was 20 kilometers, but the county town had not yet seen a shadow.

"Ahh

He yawned, and some wanted to sleep, and he would be tired after seeing too much beautiful scenery!

Moreover, the ox cart was shaky, the sun was warm, and the hypnotic effect was really good, and Shi Taigong, who was sitting opposite, had already fallen asleep on the carriage.

"Goo-goo!"

The chirping of his stomach dispelled Li Jiannan's sleepiness.

After eating so much for breakfast, he was actually hungry again.

"Damn! If I knew this was the case, I should have eaten a few more!"

How did he think that it would take so long to go to a county seat?

People are hungry, but they don't have the heart to look at the scenery, Li Jiannan waited patiently for a while, he couldn't help it, opened the curtain in front of the carriage, and asked Wang Si who was rushing to the car:

"How long will it take to get to the county seat?"

"Da Lang, it's almost over!

The so-called "fast", but not fast at all, the ox cart continued to move forward slowly, until the sun was in the west, about four or five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Jiannan finally saw the shadow of the county.

......

Sitting on the second floor of the hotel, filling his stomach, Li Jiannan put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at the sun that was about to set, and couldn't help but scold:

"Damn, what a day is wasted!"

This is completely different from what he thought!

He thought he would be able to sleep with the pretty girl tonight, but now it's getting dark, and the shadow of the girl hasn't been seen yet.

After looking up a few times, he lost interest in this county seat, in his eyes, the so-called "county seat" is similar to those ancient cities and towns in the real world, and it is just a circle of four or five meters high city walls.

Not even a young and beautiful woman could be seen in the narrow streets.

Li Jiannan hurriedly urged Shi Taigong, and soon arrived at the tooth shop where people were bought and sold, and they were received by an old woman surnamed Li.

After explaining her intentions, Li Po walked into the house, led a few little girls out, and said to Shi Taigong:

"Guest officer, which one do you like?"

Shi Taigong looked at his son.

I like a yarn!

A few little girls, with yellow faces and thin muscles, look like elementary school students, how can Li Jiannan do it?

"I'm going to be older!"

Li Jiannan spoke directly.

"Hehe! Do you want to buy a house for a petty official? Do you want to be a maid or a concubine?"

Li Po glanced at Li Jiannan with a smile and immediately understood.

"Either way. Anyway, you have to be handsome, and you will serve people!"

Li Jiannan was not embarrassed, and directly said the request.

Shi Taigong added another sentence next to him:

"And a woman from a good family!"

"Hehe! It's hard to find that! I know there are so many little ladies. The daughter of the widow Zhang in the south of the city, who is 16 years old this year, is handsome and beautiful, and the price is 100 yuan, and the adopted daughter of Li Lezi in the west of the city is 18 years old this year, and the price is ......."

Li Po snapped her fingers and began to introduce, but was interrupted by Li Jiannan's impatient wave:

"Don't say so much, just tell me the best, the most expensive!"

Li Po was not angry, her eyes rolled, she looked at Li Jiannan and smiled, and said:

"If a petty official wants to buy a concubine, there is such a very good person!

Li Jiannan glanced at him and said:

"What's the appetite? Tell me quickly, how much does it cost?"

Li Po looked at Shi Taigong before she said:

"The former Wu County Commander of this county has a concubine, who was brought from the capital, born like a fairy, not only literate and hyphenation, but also has a good female red, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, proficient in everything, and sings a good song. No, Wu Xianling died of illness in office, his family was embarrassed, and he had no money to return to his hometown for burial, so his family wanted to sell this concubine. ”

And this kind of good thing?

Li Jiannan couldn't believe it:

"You're telling the truth, how old is that guy?"

"How dare the old man deceive the petty officials? That little lady is twenty years old, her surname is An, and her nickname is Qiqi. ”

"Okay! It's her! Take me to see it!" Li Jiannan was a little impatient and got up from his chair.

"Petty officials are slow!" Li Po did not move.

"Why do you have so many things?"

"An Xiaoniang's value is not low!" Li Po smiled with her, glanced at Shi Taigong again, and explained the reason.

"It's really troublesome! Do you want a thousand or ten thousand?" Li Jiannan said in a big tone.

"Hehe! The little official laughed, how can there be a concubine of 10,000 guan? 5,000 guan!"

Li Po stretched out her finger and gestured.

"No problem, take me to see it!"

Li Jiannan didn't care, but Shi Taigong hurriedly stood up and raised his hand to stop:

"Slow!"

Then, Shi Taigong pulled his son and whispered:

"My son, our family can't afford such a person!"

What is the concept of 2,000 kan?

Consistently, even if it is calculated according to 770 Wen, that is, 770 copper coins, 5,000 guan is also 3,850,000 copper coins.

The current price of rice is about 100 wen per bucket, and 5,000 guan is 38,500 buckets of rice.

A bucket is ten liters.

And for an adult, the amount of food per day is about two liters.

In other words, if an adult eats 5,000 pieces of rice, it will take 192,500 days, or about 527 years.

In other words, if you use 5,000 yuan of money, it is enough to support 500 people for a year, and if you have a family of five, 5,000 yuan is enough to eat for a lifetime.

"Daddy, don't worry, I have money!"

Li Jiannan smiled slightly and took off the package on his shoulder.
