On the street, workers are laying tracks, looking at the posture, and in about ten days and a half, the tram can be connected.

After looking at it for a while, Meng Fan found the stall owner, pretended to take out his wallet, took out a coin from it, and asked, "Boss, do you charge pounds here?" ”

Three cents for a bowl of wonton noodles.

Pay in pounds......

The stall owner was stunned for a moment, looked at the image of Queen Yin Lizabeth on the back of the coin, and said with a wry smile:

"Sir, you're not joking, eat a bowl of wonton, and use foreign money, we are a small business, and we can't find it at all."

In this era, Queen Yin Lizabeth has not yet been born, if it is really a pound, it should also be printed with her grandfather, George V.

That is to say, the Chinese people have the heart to open their eyes to the world, but they do not have the opportunity and ability to get in touch, otherwise, they will see through this clumsy deception at a glance.

"Alas, I have just returned from abroad, and I have not yet exchanged silver dollars." Meng Fan's white lie came casually, and said, "In this way, I see that there is a pawnshop next to it, and I will give you money when I change this gold nugget." ”

Thumb-sized pieces of gold are found in the inner pocket of the jacket to verify authenticity.

As the saying goes, wealth is not exposed.

This bit of gold is not too much, but it is not much less.

Meng Fan is full of ability, but he is not afraid of unpredictable people staring at him.

"Look at what you said, sir, just go."

The middle-aged stall owner lowered his voice and said, "The pawnshop on the street is strange, the scale is wrong, if you believe me, go to the corner of the street, there is a cloth shop that also runs the pawnshop business......"

If it weren't for his appearance Zhou Zheng, fluent and authentic Chinese, he really didn't look like a person who ate white food, and the stall owner really didn't have to worry about him leaving alone.

After all, the profits of small business are thin, and at the moment of chaos, the life of the common people is not easy at all.

After thanking the stall owner, Meng Fan dragged his suitcase, skipped the "regular" pawnshop, and walked towards the alley.

The value of gold is there, and the bank will update the exchange ratio every day, and it is difficult for the store to do anything with their hearts, at most they put their crooked thoughts on the scales.

And Meng Fan's perception is not a decoration?

If anyone dares to trap him, there will be a lot of blood in the custody!

However, the cloth shop recommended by the stall owner is indeed fair, directly stating today's exchange ratio, and not taking a commission, what price the bank charges, they also have the price.

Gold in troubled times.

The truth is not false at all.

Soon, Meng Fan walked out of the alley with a bag of money, which was mainly based on Long Yang of the previous dynasty, supplemented by various copper dollars.

After all, the previous dynasty had just been overthrown, and Yuan Datou, who was more familiar to later generations, would not issue the first generation until next year, and the provincial mints were limited by technology and capital, so they could only change the original template and issue copper dollars-

The dragon pattern was changed to a Jiahe pattern composed of a rice ear, engraved with two forked flags, and printed with related words, with denominations ranging from five, ten, twenty, one hundred, and two hundred.

In addition, there is also the silver quill, which circulates on a small scale.

Anyway, the value of the currency is extremely complicated, and the silver content is also different, Meng Fan is troublesome, so he simply asked for the best fineness, reaching the former Qing Longyang of ninety.

It's really a hundred-legged insect that dies but doesn't stiffen.

Although Qing is dead, he still has enough influence to make people look at it, and it is no wonder that Master would risk his life to escort the Frontier Royal Zombies for them.

Meng Fan sighed with emotion, walked in front of the stall owner, took out a copper coin engraved with the word [Wuwen], and without waiting to put down his arrogance, signaled the stall owner not to look for it, and said helplessly:

"Sir, you have just come back and may not know this...... If you give new money, you will get 30 yuan, and the government stipulates that one penny should be 10 yuan. ”

"If you don't believe me, you can just ask someone."

Ten copper dollars = one penny.

One Longyang can be exchanged for 120 10 copper yuan, and eating a bowl of fresh wonton noodles on the street requires 3 10 copper yuan, which is converted into understandable purchasing power, that is, ......

Meng Fan didn't bother to think about it.

After crossing Yin Shi, he ate a bowl of wonton noodles and changed a relatively considerable coiling, but he was also a headache by the complex and annoying currency value.

"That's it, I haven't returned to China for a long time, I'm not familiar with the place, I'm going to take the train north to Xiangxi, please accompany me to the station and help get up and down."

As he spoke, Meng Fan took out another shiny and shining Long Yang, and said, "After the matter is done, three silver dollars, this is a fixed coin." ”

“……”

Qu Shuangxi had never seen such a generous person, so he was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "You plan to take the train north?" It's not an easy journey.

Some time ago, a wealthy businessman surnamed Ma, with his hands and eyes in the sky, made five letters of appointment, hired a team of people to escort him, and went to Goose City to take office, but as a result, he was robbed by bandits within 300 miles of leaving the city. ”

Goose City ......

Ma Bond? Master Tang!

It's a smorgasbord of weird things.

was sighing, the stall owner Qu Shuangxi said a helpless fact: "Not to mention whether there is a railway in Xiangxi, just the railway outside Yangcheng has been broken for I don't know how many knots, either it was dug up by thieves and sold for money, or it was stolen by bandits to cast machetes......"

"Where's the horse market?"

This trip is thousands of miles, even if you don't count the mana, it will take a long time to use the Escape Technique.

In case of an accident when the mana and stamina are exhausted, there is no place to cry.

Anyway, there are still a few months before the agreed time, so I just practice my riding skills, and maybe I can use it in the future.

Moreover, after learning Taoism, his physical fitness and learning ability have improved by leaps and bounds, and Meng Fan is confident that he will soon be able to completely master this relatively primitive driving skill.

"You are looking for the right person, before the previous dynasty perished, the son inherited his father's business and fed the horses at the post station.

I don't dare to say that I picked a thousand miles at a glance, but it is not far off, every two hundred miles, you find a place on the road, repair the hooves of the horses, not to mention going to Xiangxi, that is, to the northeast, it is not a problem. ”

After the words fell, the stall owner put away the bowl and table, and called a laborer on the corner of the street, probably a familiar person, and said a word to send the things home, and the man didn't want money, so he just carried the things and led the little girl away.

Old houses, sometimes narrow, sometimes wide streets, scattered telephone poles, and small western-style buildings.

Along the way, Meng Fan really felt the time back, Yangcheng in this era and Hong Kong Island in the 80s are two completely different styles.

Meantime.

Listening to the emotion of the old Qu family next to him and the turbulent situation, the veil between him and the times gradually disappeared, and he sighed together.

Honestly catching ghosts and curing evil and protecting the safety of one party is also a matter of immeasurable merit.

It didn't take long for Qu Shuangxi to choose a good horse for Meng Fan in the horse market, in the words of his predecessors:

The bones are big and the muscles are thick, and the nose is big and breathing.

There is no shortage of exchanges!
