"This medicine......... It's really expensive! ”

Knowing the price, Chu Mu looked down at the medicine in his hand again, and couldn't help but smack his tongue a little.

Once you enter the medicine hall, nearly ten silver of money is gone.

According to this price conversion, it is nearly fifteen stones, 1,500 catties of grain!

Chu Mu remembered that when he first crossed over, Li Lao treated him for several days in a row, and he also paid nearly ten silver at that time.

In just a few days, thousands of catties of grain have been thrown out, compared with the current era, it is a bit of a fantasy.

Chu Mu didn't know how to lament the cheapness of food, or the high cost of seeing a doctor.

As for his monthly salary, eight silver seems to be quite a lot, but it is obviously only more than the bottom.

"Spending money is like flowing water......"

Chu Mu shook his head, he still had to go back to the Inspection Division as soon as possible to take his post.

Although it is only a small town soldier, he is also a member of the establishment of Qinghe County, and he is an iron rice bowl that eats imperial grain.

Judging from the memory of the original owner, the inspection of this iron rice bowl is very popular, I don't know how many people are staring at this iron rice bowl, if it weren't for the original owner's father who died in the line of duty and died miserably, and even the corpse was not recovered, this iron rice bowl is estimated to not be the turn of the original owner.

With the influence of decades of experience in his previous life, Chu Mu still has a lot of expectations for the preparation of this matter.

When he first arrived, he also needed this position to help him integrate quickly and thoroughly into the era.

All kinds of plans for the future flickered in his mind, and between these thoughts, it didn't take long for Chu Mu to return to his own mansion.

When the courtyard door was closed, although the chaos outside the courtyard was still there, an inexplicable sense of tranquility instantly surged into Chu Mu's heart.

At this moment, Chu Mu was also in an inexplicable good mood, humming a song, and picked up the long knife that was thrown on the ground, the blade was still in the morning dew, and the originally bright blade seemed to have a few rusts.

Chu Mu didn't care, a little thing, just grind it again later.

With the firewood in the stove that had not yet been extinguished, Chu Mu put a dose of medicinal materials into the clay pot, added water, and leisurely boiled the medicinal materials, and took the time to polish the rusty knife halfway, and even rubbed a little lard as maintenance.

About half an hour later, the hot liquid medicine accompanied by the increasingly strong medicinal fragrance was also placed on the table.

It's just that at this moment, Chu Mu's attention is not on this medicinal liquid, but staring at the medicinal materials boiled in the crockpot and muttering to himself.

"This is yellow essence? It's like ginseng......"

Taking the chopsticks and rummaging through them, Chu Mu relied on his limited knowledge of medicinal materials, and he actually recognized several of them, but he didn't know if these medicinal materials were still called by these names in this life.

Although it is written on Li Lao's prescription, Chu Mu is still illiterate, and he doesn't even know how to write his name.

"You have to read and write."

In just an instant, Chu Mu made a decision in his heart.

Even if he doesn't want to think about the future, let a person who has experienced nine years of compulsory education even look at a signboard like reading a book from heaven, just this point, Chu Mu will be extremely unbearable.

Just do what he said, Chu Mu is not a procrastinator, he dried up the medicinal liquid that had been cooled a little in a few sips, cleaned up the stove again, and went out again.

Judging from the memory of the original owner, there is naturally a school in this Nanshan Town, and there is even more than one, the school in the south of the town is the county official school, and most of the rich and noble families in the town send their children to the official school.

In the north of the town, there is a private school, which is opened by a famous Xiucai, and it is much cheaper than the official school.

Just for the sake of literacy, Chu Mu naturally had nothing to be picky about, so he didn't have to think about it, so he went directly to the private school in the north of the town.

This private school is not far from the place where Chu Mu lives, but it is a distance of hundreds of meters, but the school is private and remote, and Chu Mu walked around the alley for a while before arriving outside this private school.

Although it is a private school, it is obviously just an ordinary person's house for running a school, but this house is obviously much larger than the one where Chu Mu lives.

Not to mention anything else, this tall courtyard gate is much more generous than the small door in Chu Mu's house.

Chu Mu stopped outside the door, glanced at the tall courtyard gate, and subconsciously looked at the hanging plaque, just a glance, Chu Mu immediately withdrew his gaze.

People are self-aware and self-aware, and they are all illiterate, so what are they looking at......

Knock on the door and admit to the hospital.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Chu Mu appeared outside the door again.

Turning around, Chu Mu looked at the hanging plaque again, and now he understood why the original owner's father had been in public office for many years and his family was not bad, but the original owner was still illiterate.

Study...... It's really too expensive!

According to what Chang Xiucai said, the bundle is handed over once every half a year, and it takes 20 silver for half a year, which is just the bundle, the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and even the food needed for reading need to be purchased separately.

Chu Mu only made a rough calculation, if he was interested in studying and becoming famous, then he would have to study for several years to have a certain foundation.

Forty silver a year, plus the consumption of pen, ink, paper and inkstone, at least fifty silver must be needed.

In a few years, it will have to be hundreds, or even hundreds of silver!

With the original owner's pretty good family background, it is basically difficult to afford, let alone ordinary people, that is not even to think about it, it is impossible to afford it!

"I should be able to read all the words in half a year......

Chu Mu touched the banknote in his arms, he had only paid the bundle for half a year, and it was estimated that he could only take the time to learn, after all, he still had a job in the inspection office waiting for him.

If you can't learn it in half a year, it's another twenty silver ......

Although he was slandering in his heart, Chu Mu's resolute and resolute behavior did not stop, and after coming out of the alley, he went straight to the bookstore on the street.

Can realistically ...... But he gave Chu Mu another blow.

The cheapest inkstone on one side costs three silver, one of the most inferior ink and a brush, two silver, two stacks of white paper, a total of sixty sheets, and the price is one silver.

The most outrageous thing is the four books for enlightenment that Mr. Na mentioned...... Four books, asking for twelve silver!

"The sages have words, knowledge is priceless, it is difficult to buy a thousand gold, and the son is a person of good fortune at a glance......"

Perhaps because he felt that he had met a big customer, the bookstore owner praised him without hesitation, but Chu Mu didn't listen to a word anyway, he only had one question to consider at this time......

Was he slaughtered?

Before I even started reading the book, I threw it in for a few dozen silver.

Knowledge is priceless, but it's too expensive, right?

Looking at the bookstore owner who was talking eloquently and praising himself without hesitation, Chu Mu quietly put a token on the counter.

The order is made of bronze, and the three words of the inspection department are engraved on it.

The Inspection Department has a wide range of functions, and as the only armed force in Qinghe County, in this Qinghe County, there is almost nothing that cannot be managed, except for those nobles.

If the bookstore can stand, there must be energy behind it.

But...... Hades is easy to see, but the little ghost is difficult......

Chu Mu felt that everyone who was doing business should understand this truth......
