Chapter 21 Emergencies

The first thing I saw was the city wall, and the city wall of the city was still relatively magnificent from a distance, of course, this was also in Ye Junwen's prediction, and I had previously analyzed that this time may be a more war-torn world, so it is relatively normal for the city to have a city wall.

The Ledeska City in front of him looks like a city that should be well developed, it belongs to the Flat City, and it is next to the river as Ye Junwen thought. The black walls stretch from the river to the other end of the horizon, and the whole city looks thicker. Judging from Ye Junwen's current observation, the architectural style of this city is still more like European-style architecture, and it still has a lot of flavor.

While watching and walking, Ye Junwen soon came to one of the gates of Ledeska City. Below the city gate, Ye Junwen saw several guards guarding the city gate, and everyone who went in would check it a little, as if it was ...... And also collect money. Ye Junwen immediately asked Dam in front of him, and sure enough, he had to pay money to enter the city, and the poll tax was ten copper coins per person.

Of course, Ye Junwen still has money on his body, and if he observes it a little closer, Ye Junwen also found that among the money found by the boss before, the larger copper coins represent the meaning of ten copper coins, because there are many people in front of him who only give this big copper coin. And the small ones should represent 1 copper coin, Ye Junwen counted them, and he should have 88 copper coins left.

In this way, Ye Junwen probably also has a little understanding of the monetary mechanism here, after all, the boss collected 12 copper coins from the previous three baked cakes, which means that each baked cake has 4 copper coins, and the exchange ratio of silver coins and copper coins should be 1:100, but in terms of purchasing power, this is not very clear for the time being.

There weren't many people waiting at the door, and it was Ye Junwen's turn immediately. The soldiers who inspected obviously showed a strange expression when they saw Ye Junwen, and probably noticed that Ye Junwen was a little different, but he didn't embarrass Ye Junwen, and after handing over a large copper coin, the other party didn't say anything and let Ye Junwen enter the city.

Walking into the huge city gate, Ye Junwen directly saw a street, but the first impression of this street was not very good for Ye Junwen. The chaotic and ununiform buildings along the street on both sides, the unbeautified streets, and even the garbage can be seen everywhere on the ground, it seems that the operation of the city is not very good. But judging from the outside city wall, the city wall should still be maintained regularly, and it seems that the ruler of this city has also spent a lot of energy on the military, and the internal affairs are really a bit chaotic.

"That...... Little brother, we're going to the hotel now, and if it's too late, we'll have to sleep in the stable, are you here? Dahm behind him came up and asked.

"The place where we lived...... Not suitable. Before Ye Junwen could answer, another person next to him said.

"Oh, too......" Dam nodded. Ye Junwen probably understood what they meant, the hotel they stayed in should also be the cheapest, and of course, the environment was also the worst, these people didn't mistakenly think that they were still rich, so they didn't think they should go with them. However, Ye Junwen estimates that he may not have as much money as these people.

Despite this, Ye Junwen still didn't go with them. Soon, several people said goodbye to Ye Junwen. Ye Junwen still has a lot of things to do now, and although the time is a little close to night, he should still be able to deal with some things.

Ye Junwen repeated what he wanted to do in his heart, first of all, the investigation of this world, then the way to find a way to sell the goods, and then find the right thing to buy, and the last step was to find the right person to hack himself.

At present, what I have to do is investigate, but the specific investigation items are really uncertain, because there are too many things to know, so Ye Junwen chooses to just go around casually, anyway, just understand one first. So Ye Junwen also quickly wandered around the city.

About two hours later, Ye Junwen came to a place that looked like a hotel and chose to stay. For Ye Junwen, who came to stay at this time, the innkeeper also felt a little strange, but he didn't ask much, anyway, there was a room. After collecting the travel fee of 50 copper coins, Ye Junwen also came to his room.

This room is really a relatively simple room, and Ye Junwen couldn't help frowning when he saw the situation in this room. There was nothing else in the room except a bed, a table, a chair, and a small cabinet, but after looking at the quilt on the bed, it was still clean, and there was nothing to pick now, so Ye Junwen could only accept it.

There were only candles to use in the room, and Ye Junwen also walked to the table, lit the candles, and then took out his notebook and began to record and sort out some of the situations he had investigated when he was wandering around before.

Ye Junwen didn't investigate much, mainly because it was too late. Although the current time is estimated to be just over 7 o'clock in the evening, it is already very late in this other world, and there are no people on the streets, so it is also very strange for the previous innkeeper to find Ye Junwen who came to stay so late.

Judging from the current situation, this world is similar to what Ye Junwen thinks, the approximate level of science and technology should be the level of the European Middle Ages, and Ye Junwen has not seen anything with scientific and technological content along the way, including electric lights, so there is no one when it gets dark. But it's not that you can't see anything when it's dark at night, Ye Junwen still saw a place with lights when he came back, but Ye Junwen didn't go there for the time being.

Second, the price or purchasing power here is very strange, the food is not very expensive in general, according to the current situation that Ye Junwen understands, the average civilian can eat a full meal for about ten copper coins, although the food is not very good. But other things are very expensive, for example, a piece of clothing that Ye Junwen saw, obviously in his opinion, was shoddy, but it cost 10 silver coins. There is also a blacksmith shop passing by next to him, and he found a knife, worth 5 silver coins, and an ordinary one-handed sword, worth 20 silver coins, Ye Junwen felt that it was better to buy a kitchen knife in his supermarket than these knives.

So it's obvious that this is a gap in productivity, and it seems that it is not possible to simply use something as a benchmark for purchasing power on this side, and the productivity of the two sides is different, and this aspect is difficult to define.

After a general understanding of the prices here, Ye Junwen came back directly and found a hotel to rest. I'll wait until tomorrow at dawn to find out. What Ye Junwen has to solve now is the problem of his future plan, because he had thought about it when he was walking around before, and it didn't seem very easy for him to sell what he had.

It's not that it can't be sold, after all, I've learned it before, and my own things should still be good in the eyes of the tastes of people here, but the problem is ...... Judging from the current situation, most of the civilians here are relatively poor. It may be that the place he visited today was originally a slum, anyway, at present, Ye Junwen felt that if he targeted the market on these civilians, he should not be able to make any money. There are so many things that they have brought, if they sell them at a price they can accept, they may really have to run and spend their luck, and the difficulty of crossing by themselves is so great, this speed is estimated to be only to the extent of opening a store before they are invincible. He has already said before that he wants to take the high-end route, and things will be more expensive to sell, so now the goal is to find rich people.

So my previous thinking was not correct, what I needed was not to go to the lord here and open a store, because the store was basically for ordinary commoners, and I had to sell things to those rich people, that is to say, nobles, or merchants.

So how do you have to do with people on both sides? First of all, businessmen...... This may be relatively simple, because their own goods are more special, and there is definitely no one here, so the other party may cooperate with them, however...... The other party estimates that it is just a supplier, and this kind of development may be fine in the early stage, but in the long run, it is not very beneficial to their own plans.

But on the other noble's side, it's more troublesome, according to Ye Junwen's experience, if he wants to get in touch with the noble, it shouldn't be very easy. Of course, if you succeed in finding a nobleman with a relatively high status, it should be the best thing for you, because you can open a large market by relying on him, and your future development will be slightly more convenient, but ......

"Let's find a way to try the path of nobility, if it really doesn't work, then find another chamber of commerce to cooperate first." Ye Junwen thought about it, and he still didn't know anything about most of the situation at present, so he could only take one step at a time.

Sure enough, the development of things is often beyond people's expectations, and the next morning, when Ye Junwen, who got up, just wanted to try to see if he could get in touch with the biggest nobleman in the city, that is, the lord of the city, he received a news from the innkeeper that surprised him.

"What? Is the city lord Clovis dead here? Ye Junwen asked with a look of surprise.

"I didn't expect such a horrible thing to happen." The innkeeper here also said with a sad expression, "I don't know what the future of Ledeska City will become." ”
