305 Anseong
After killing the wolves, Lin Yan and the others had gained the absolute right to speak, and the people of Dahe Village had no objections. Whatever they say is what they say.
Along the way, he stopped and stopped, and escaped from the mouth of the beast many times, which can be described as a crisis, but he escaped death again and again.
Gu Qing and the others praised them more and more, and they were fortunate to be with them countless times.
Not only that, but when they were still more than ten days away from Anseong, the Blue Star and their hunting were fruitful while walking.
The prey that was chosen was all that could be sold at a high price, and the eyes of the people in Dahe Village were hot, and they secretly said in their hearts that they didn't have such skills.
If there are so many capable people in Dahe Village, where can they still worry about having a bad life. A hunt can be exchanged for countless silver, and you can buy whatever you want.
On August 12, the group came to the gate of Anseong. The stone walls are tall and mighty, and they look a little safe.
There are guards at the city gates, who check and charge pedestrians, yes, you need to charge per head to enter the city, and a head, regardless of age, is charged a penny.
Lin Yan learned from Gu Qing that in the country on the other side of Tianduan Mountain, silver is hard currency, and smaller monetary units include copper coins, iron coins, etc., different countries, different currencies, but they can all be exchanged for silver.
Wu is only a small border country among many countries, the closest to Tianduan Mountain, and a necessary place for exiled criminals.
Those who were exiled to the wasteland had almost no hope of returning, and had to resign themselves to their fate. As a result, the people of the wasteland gradually built cities, and in addition to Anseong, there were several large cities, all of which were far away.
In the wasteland there is a mixture of people, there is no distinction between kingdoms, and all men know only silver. A tael of silver is ten cents, and the purchasing power is still okay.
After understanding this, Lin Yan and the others understood the importance of silver, and if they wanted to mix well in Ancheng, silver was indispensable.
Hunting is the best choice, as long as you hunt a tiger, you can exchange it for thousands of taels of silver, and you will never have to worry about running out of money to spend.
In Ancheng, it is difficult to move an inch without money.
Like these people in Dahe Village, although there are many people who come, they don't have the money to enter the city, so they all scrape together some money to let two people enter the city.
There are so many people, they can't afford to pay the capitation fee alone, and they are even more reluctant.
Dahe Village is too poor, it's good to barely be able to fill your stomach, who can have extra money.
They don't have the ability to make money in Ancheng, so they can only guard that side of the land and take root, and their lives are difficult.
Gu Qing came to Lin Yan and Lan Yue's side, and whispered: "The village is really poor, and I only brought two taels of silver, so many people can't all go in." ”
Lin Yan said that he understood, "When we go into the city and sell the prey, we will have money." Village chief, you pick a few people, and half of us will go into the city together. We will borrow your head fee first, and pay it back when we have sold our prey. ”
That's exactly what Gu Qing planned, so many people couldn't all go into the city, it was too expensive. He hurriedly said: "I have selected all four people in the village." ”
"I'll arrange it right away, you guys wait."
Lin Yan turned his head to look at Lan Yue, "You stay, take care of this side, I'll take a few people into the city." ”
"Okay." Lan Yue nodded without hesitation, and when Lin Yan went in and sold the prey, they would have the money to enter the city.
The people who entered the city were scattered, and they all came from the villages around Anseong. Most of them remained outside the city, waiting in groups. It's all similar to the situation in Dahe Village, there is no money.
Lin Yan and Lan Xing took six people, and Gu Qing also took three people, carrying large bags and small bags, prepared money, and entered the city smoothly.
The people who come in and out here are similar to them, and they are not very conspicuous.
But Lan Yue and the others who stayed, because there was a group of cattle and horses, were quite conspicuous, and they frequently provoked others to look at them.
Gu Yi, as the temporary manager of Dahe Village, became more and more nervous, there were too many people looking at them, and he felt that something was going to happen.
As soon as he entered the city, Lin Yan's eyes purred and looked around, and in the tall city wall, people came and went, and it looked very lively.
However, on closer inspection, most of the people are dressed similarly, there is no Ayara Chinese dress wrapping, they are all coarse cloth, and there are too many shirtless people.
There are not many people wearing leather boots, most of them are straw sandals and cloth shoes, which have nothing to do with the prosperity she imagined.
After a rough look, she understood that Ancheng sounded prosperous, but with her own eyes, it was a little unworthy of the name, and it was not even comparable to the bustling and lively city of Sun City.
The houses on the side of the street, with a mixture of stone and wooden houses, are mostly low, which shows that the development of Anseong is not so good.
Lan Xing and the others were also a little disappointed, but Gu Qing didn't think so, this was a good place for them, and it was already a supreme honor to be able to come once.
"Village chief, where are we going to sell the goods?" Lan Xing didn't have much interest after a few glances, and asked directly.
He wanted to sell the goods quickly, exchange them for money, and let Blue Moon and them in. Ancheng doesn't look good, but it is blocked by the city wall, which is safer than the outside.
Besides, when they all arrived at the gate of the city, it would be too much of a loss not to let Blue Moon and them come in to take a look.
"There are a lot of shops on the west side of the city, and most of the things are traded there, so let's go there." Gu Qing has been to Ancheng and is familiar with the road.
When passing by a cloth village, Lin Yan's eyes lit up, and he just wanted to go in and have a look, but he was shy, so he endured it, and was ready to sell the things and take the Blue Moon and them into the city to go shopping again.
Thinking about the people and cows and horses outside, it is too eye-catching. Lin Yan didn't dare to delay, walked for more than half an hour, and finally arrived at the place.
Gu Qing stepped forward to talk to the store, this time he was full of confidence, and he brought good things, unlike before, he always had to look at people's faces.
It was a large courtyard, full of people coming and going, and piled up with all kinds of goods.
Lin Yan also saw a few cows and a flock of sheep, obviously in the right place.
In just over ten minutes, the prey and fur they brought were successfully sold, and they got more than three hundred taels of silver.
Gu Qing's body trembled with excitement, how could he have seen so much silver. And that's just a small part of the cargo, and most of the rest is outside the city.
The most valuable thing was the group of cattle and horses, but he also knew that Lin Yan didn't plan to sell them. There is also Wen Xue's medicine, which is also valuable.
He said excitedly: "The goods are sold, what should we do next?" ”
Lan Xing should have said: "If you have money, of course you will go out to pick up people." ”
Lin Yan smiled and said, "You don't have to pick up all the people, Lan Xing, you take people outside the city, and the village chief and I will find a place to stay in the city." ”
Gu Qing heard the meaning of the words, and hurriedly asked, "People from outside the city are all coming in?" ”
Without waiting for Lin Yan to answer, he hurriedly shook his head, "No, it's too expensive, let Gu Yi and them stay outside." ”
Lan Xing said with a big grin: "Village Chief, we are not short of money, let Gu Yi and them also come in and have a long experience." ”
Lin Yan also persuaded: "It's just a matter of a few taels of silver, don't shirk it to the village chief." It's not easy for everyone to come to Anseong, they all arrived at the door, and it would be a loss not to come in and take a look. ”
Gu Qing didn't know that what they said was right, but Dahe Village was poor, it was a few taels of silver, and it would take a long time to save it.
Lin Yan glanced at Lan Xing and asked him to pick up someone.
By the time Gu Qing came back to his senses, Lan Xing had already gone away.
