Chapter Seventy-Three: Brothers Meet
The city lord's decree is written on the new currency that Blackstone City will issue soon, called the yuan. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As well as some basic policies, there are also beautifully printed patterns with magnifications of several times indicating various anti-counterfeiting methods.
"What is the third brother doing? The gold, silver and bronze coins are all issued exclusively by the royal family, and the silver tickets are only made by the Mingyue Sect.
There is no need for such a big battle in this small Black Rock City, just to promote this silver ticket, right?" At first, in Shang Ape's opinion, the renminbi and the silver ticket were the same, just exchanging gold coins into paper money.
However, he still noticed a slight difference, the city lord's industry only collects cash tickets, and the exchange of silver tickets and gold coins fluctuates?
Although Shang Ape discovered these two special features, he still couldn't figure it out for a while, so he decided to find an inn to live in and observe slowly.
After inquiring for a long time, I learned that the largest inn in Black Rock City is called Huaxia Hotel, which is also Shang Weiyang's industry.
With the curiosity of Shang Ape came to the Huaxia Hotel, as soon as he arrived at the door, a doorman helped him open the heavy glass door.
Although the glass is now made by Shang Weiyang, the price is extremely expensive due to production capacity, and only the wealthy nobles in the imperial capital can use it, even if the glass of the Wei Wangfu is still sent by Shang Weiyang.
Of course, Shang Ape knew the price of glass, and was shocked by the "luxury" of using glass as the door of the Huaxia Hotel!
Entering the hotel lobby, the style inside is also magnificent, the walls are painted white and delicate, the tiles on the ground are recognizable, and all kinds of decorations reflect luxury.
Just as Shang Ape was looking around, a sweet voice sounded in his ears, "Sir, are you here to stay or eat?"
Shang Ape came back to his senses at this time, looked at the beautiful woman in front of him, dressed strangely and with a bumpy figure, and said with some embarrassment: "Ahem... Stay in the hotel, I live in the hotel. ”
"Yes sir, please come with me to the front desk to register. After that, the beauty twisted Xiaoman's waist and took the merchant ape to the front desk.
After showing his temporary ID card to register and paying a deposit of 500 gold coins, Shang Yu was taken to his room.
The room was still luxurious, Simmons mattresses, wool carpets, glass mirrors, flush toilets, these things he had never seen before.
Shang Ape lay on the comfortable Simmons mattress, recalling that the third brother had shocked him since Xuanwu City.
"Could this be the productivity that the third brother often mentions? In just one year, the world has been turned upside down.
If the third brother governs the entire Wei king's fiefdom..."
Thinking of this, Shang Ape didn't dare to think about it, because if it continued to develop like this, Huaibi was not guilty, and Pifu was guilty. If the royal family and the Bright Moon Church are guilty of pink eye, there will be only one way to rebel at that time...
Thinking of this, Shang Ape suddenly sat up, and there were still fine beads of sweat on his forehead, could it be that the third brother was ready to do so at the beginning...
Although he told Shang Weiyang about the situation of the Wei Mansion and the royal family when he went home last time, it was just a worst-case plan after all, and now it seems that Shang Weiyang was ready to strike first from the beginning.
Shang Ape deserves to be the champion of the Qin Dynasty, and he understands it after a little thought. However, he was very curious about how Shang Weiyang made a preemptive strike and how he became famous.
For the next few days, the merchant monkey wandered around Blackstone, sometimes going to work in a factory for a day, sometimes learning to drive a tractor, and sometimes going to the supermarket to see the market in Blackstone.
When he returned to the Huaxia Hotel on the fifth day, he opened the door and found a person sitting on the bed and smiled at him: "Second brother still doesn't believe me? "The person who came was Shang Weiyang.
Shang Ape also smiled, "How did the third brother find me? I still want to investigate your Black Rock City more!"
"Do you remember the ID card? In Black Rock City, food, clothing, housing and transportation are basically inseparable from the ID card, I received the letter five days ago, and I waited for so long and didn't see it, so I asked people to check it. ”
"It turns out that the ID card still has this use!" Shang Ape suddenly realized, in fact, according to his IQ, he should have guessed, but what he had seen and heard in the past few days made him forget about it.
"Don't stay in the hotel when you're here, go back to the City Lord's Mansion with me. ”
"That's good to listen to you. ”
Along the way, the two of them chatted about all kinds of things in Black Rock City, and Shang Weiyang also gave various explanations to Shang Ape.
After arriving at the City Lord's Mansion, the two came directly to the living room, and Shang Weiyang personally made tea for Shang Ape.
After drinking a few glasses, Shang Weiyang still asked, "Second brother came this time, is there anything else besides the incident ten years later?" ”
"Related to demon beasts, the scale of the beast tide was very strong last year, and we suffered heavy losses in our fiefdom, and even the Zhenbei army where the eldest brother was sitting lost 50,000 people.
The most hateful thing is that Sun Xiao of the defense fortress over there actually used the flesh and blood of the people to fill the mouth of the demon beast.
The main purpose of this visit is to find out the situation of the border losses, and by the way, to find out the bottom of the defense forces over there.
As for the father who came to your side, he personally confessed, this time the beast tide you reported that you only lost more than 300 soldiers, and my father attached great importance to it and wanted to understand. ”
"What? Then Sun Xiao actually sacrificed blood to the people in the city? How can this be justified, he should be killed!" Shang Weiyang was very angry after hearing Shang Ape's words.
"Alas, don't be impulsive, that Sun Xiao is a nail planted by the royal family and the Mingyue Sect, and now he is moving to cast a rat trap.
Moreover, you have also learned about Black Rock City in the past two days, and the militia that has not cultivated is only 50,000 people.
What's more, how can mortals fight with monks, or is there such a big disparity?" Although Shang Ape inquired about some information, he was still suspicious of the magical weapons that the people were talking about.
Shang Weiyang didn't break this point, but he just cleaned up his mind, thought for a while and said, "Who said that you need to use force to clean up this scumbag? I can let him get out without a single soldier!"
Shang Yu was surprised when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Third brother, what is the magic method?" ”
"Hehe, it's very simple, let him eat people there!" Shang Weiyang smiled slightly at the corner of his mouth.
"What kind of strategy is this?" Shang Ape obviously didn't understand the meaning of these three words.
Shang Weiyang pointed at his feet and said, "Second brother, what do you think my carpet is made of?"
"Carpet, cotton, not like. Not like linen? Is it wool? If it's a wool carpet, I'm afraid it's worth 10,000 gold, right?"
"What the second brother said is right and not right. The carpet is indeed made of wool, but the price is only ten gold coins. ”
"How is this possible, wool is slower to spin than cotton, and this carpet is even more time-consuming and labor-intensive, how can it be that there are only ten gold coins?"
"Hehe, what the second brother said is true, but that is already in the past, now the second textile factory in Blackstone City can spin 10,000 spindles of wool yarn a day, and a carpet like this can spin dozens of pieces a day, but now the raw materials are insufficient. ”
Shang Ape was completely impressed by his third brother at this time, Shang Weiyang's speed of making money can be said to be unprecedented, but he still wondered, "Then what does this have to do with sheep eating people?"
