The gold given by Gongsun Zhan, Liu An had no intention of refusing.

50 acres of wasteland, calculated at 500 or 600 yuan per mu, at best, is 30,000 yuan, which is equivalent to only 3 acres of fertile land.

Most capable people are proud in their hearts, and Gongsun Chan was able to dominate in the troubled times at the end of the Han Dynasty and become a great prince all the way, needless to say, his ability.

Such a person must be full of arrogance in his heart.

One of the reasons why Liu An took the trouble of replacing fertile land with wasteland was naturally to have more land.

Second, he is also gambling on people like Gongsun Zhan, and it is impossible to take advantage of himself.

In addition to the wasteland, he must have given something else to make up for the difference between the exchange of fertile land for wasteland.

It's just that the field is the land of the public family, and Gongsun Chan is just a favor, but the gold has to be taken out of his own pocket.

But it's worth it to buy a sword with some money.

The sword is sharp, and it is easier to kill, not to mention, it will look much better on face when it is taken out.

Of course, although he thought so in his heart, Liu An would not say so on the surface.

He bit his lip hard, and after painful tears overflowed his eyes, he raised his head and said to Gongsun Chan with a touched face:

"Brother...... My brother treats me sincerely, and I can't repay it, if I use it in the future, my brother will never give up despite his orders! ”

"Haha, you and my brother, why be polite?" Gongsun Chan laughed heartily, "If there is a need, I will definitely call the virtuous brother for my brother!" Ha ha! ”

After that, the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, Gongsun Chan got the sword he wanted, Liu An completed the task, and there were many more fields.

When he was free, Liu An even secretly weighed the two gold cakes that Gongsun Zan gave him, and estimated that they weighed about two small catties.

Xiao Jin is the name given by Liu An to the weight unit 'Jin' in the Han Dynasty, which is about equal to 250g.

Because the two catties of the Han Dynasty are about equal to one catty in modern times, in order to distinguish them, Liu An named the 'jin' of the Han Dynasty 'Xiao Jin'.

And Liu Ming not only fulfilled his uncle's entrustment, but also was able to get together with his old classmates.

At noon, the three of them also had a lively lunch together, which can be described as joyful.

After noon, Liu An and Liu Ming left the county government under the farewell of Gongsun Zhan.

Although Liu Ming was very happy, he couldn't help but look at Liu An worriedly after leaving the county office.

"Uncle, do you really want to cultivate 50 acres of barren land by yourself? It was a hard ......."

"Of course, I know how hard it is, and I was a little scared before, but now I ...... it."

Liu An patted his waist bag, which contained two pieces of gold cakes given by Gongsun Zhan.

"With money, it's easy to say anything, and if I can't hold on, I'll hire some people to help...... Outside of Zhuoxian County, there are many victims who can't survive! ”

When Liu Ming saw Liu An say this, he no longer persuaded him.

It was still early, Liu An was going to buy some daily necessities, and asked Liu Ming if he wanted to go together.

Liu Ming knew that Liu An was frail, and he didn't worry that he was out alone, so he simply had nothing to do today, so he was ready to wait for Liu An to go back together after shopping.

Carrying the two gold cakes in his waist bag, Liu An finally settled down.

Although money is not everything, it is impossible to do without money.

and Liu Ming came to the north of Zhuoxian County, where the market gathered.

In the Han Dynasty, in big cities like Chang'an and Luoyang, the markets were separated, with cattle having a cattle market, horses having a horse market, wine having a wine market, and cloth having a cloth market.

However, Zhuo County is not Luoyang, Chang'an, and the population is not so large, so the market is divided into the north of the city.

Naturally, the individual markets are not separately separated.

Those who sell grain and meat, those who sell straw mats and mung beans all gather together.

However, this also caused a lively scene in the north of Zhuoxian County.

When Liu An and Liu Ming came to the Chengbei Market, the time was just past noon, and the sun was just right.

There are many people in the market, many slaves of wealthy families are helping their masters buy supplies, and some ordinary people are picking cheap things to buy some.

Occasionally, you can even see one or two young men in fresh clothes and angry horses, leading a few servants to hang out pretendically.

Liu An didn't have the heart to hang out, he was still wearing thin linen clothes.

Before, it was okay in Gongsun Zhan, and the county government houses had built fire walls, and it was quite warm inside.

Now when I come outside, even though the sun is very sunny at this time, it is still the first month!

Liu An's body is weak, and when the wind blows, he can suddenly make a stir.

Following his memory, when he came to a high-grade ready-to-wear shop in the north of the city, Liu An planned to buy a cloth coat to wear first.

Liu An didn't know that the price of this slightly higher-grade garment shop must be high, but he only had gold cakes on him, no copper coins.

Ordinary people used the five-baht coin of the Han Dynasty official system for daily transactions, and gold and silver were only used in large transactions.

Those small stores, Liu An is afraid that they will not be able to find their own golden cakes.

In the Han Dynasty, there was no place to exchange coins with a money bank ticket number, and the exchange between gold, silver and copper coins had to go to the government to exchange.

The government is not for nothing, and every 1,000 yuan worth of currency will be paid a commission of 20 yuan.

If Liu An takes a piece of gold cake to exchange, he will have to suck 200 yuan of blood, so he won't be so stupid, wouldn't it be good to buy something directly and let the store find money.

This high-grade store is called 'Lu's Garment Shop', seeing the name, Liu An couldn't help but think to himself, could it be the Lu Zhi's industry?

Although Lu Zhiren was an official in the court, his clan did a lot of business in his hometown of Zhuo County.

But this has nothing to do with Liu An, he just came to buy clothes.

Walking into the storefront, Liu An's trembling little body shook, and sure enough, the inside of the house was warmer than the outside!

There are different styles of clothes with different fabrics hanging on the walls of the store, but there are only a dozen or so models, which cannot be compared with the dozen or hundreds of styles that Liu An saw when he visited the clothing store in his later life.

However, unlike later generations, the ready-to-wear shops of the Han Dynasty also had the business of customizing clothes.

That is to say, if you are not in a hurry, you can choose the fabric by yourself, and then choose the style you like, tell the shopkeeper the size and let the store make it separately.

In later generations, almost all the clothes were mass-produced in factories, and the transaction was convenient for the boss and the customer, so naturally there was no such humanized service.

It's just that Liu An is in a hurry now, and he doesn't think about customizing clothes for the time being, and when the time is right for food and clothing in the future, he can have an exclusive customization.

In addition to ready-to-wear and made-to-order clothes, there are also some cloth silks on the counter.

Although the name is a ready-to-wear shop, in ancient times, clothes and fabrics were not separated, and the shops that sold clothes would also sell some cloth and silk, which not only expanded the scope of business, but also made it convenient for customers who customized clothes to choose fabrics.

When the shopkeeper saw a customer coming to the door, he came over to greet Liu An and the two with a friendly smile: "Do you want to buy ready-to-wear clothes or custom-made clothes?" ”

People who enter ready-to-wear stores generally come for clothes, and it makes sense for the shopkeeper to ask so.

"Ready-to-wear." Liu An replied.

When the shopkeeper saw this, he knew who he was doing business with.

Although Liu An is obviously not as good as Liu Ming, and his age looks younger, he has never seen anyone who is in business, and if he judges people by his appearance every time, he will lose a lot of business.

Seeing that Liu An's sackcloth was thin and his cheeks were red from the cold, the shopkeeper recommended a warm fur coat to Liu An.

Fur sweaters, as the name suggests, are sweaters made of animal skins, which were the main winter warm clothing in the Han Dynasty.

However, this 'main' is limited to the rich, and the poor people naturally can't afford it.

Liu An asked the price of this fur sweater, which looked very warm, and it cost 5,200 yuan!
