Liu Zhang and his mother stayed in Pengcheng for a few days and participated in the clan worship at the temple.

The day after worshipping the temple, the mother and son left Pengcheng for Pei County.

Go there to worship the ancestors of his lineage, and the Marquis of Hongyi is buried there.

The weather on this day was a little gloomy, and it was more than 160 miles from Pengcheng to Peixian.

If you are driving, it will only take more than an hour.

In this era, the best means of transportation was to ride a horse or take a carriage, and the mother and son decided to take a carriage to Pei County.

The journey went relatively smoothly, and Liu Zhang was worried that the ancestral tomb of his great-grandfather and father's generation would be stolen.

More than a dozen families were arranged to guard the graves near their ancestral tombs, and some money and food were given to these dozen families every year.

These dozen or so families are hardworking and faithful, and their families are poor.

guarded the tombs of Liu Zhang's ancestors, so that they were paid handsomely.

The mother and son came to the outskirts of Pei County, and when they looked up, not far away was the ancestral tomb of Liu Zhang's lineage.

At this time, it was noon, and the smoke from the cooking in the houses in front of them was faint.

The carriage continued to drive towards Liu Jia's cemetery, and the villagers saw that outsiders were coming.

The grave keepers were very conscientious, and they saw outsiders coming.

was very vigilant, and Liu Zhang got out of the carriage.

Say hello to the grave keeper so that they don't misunderstand.

"I'm from the Red Marquis Kingdom, and I'm here to worship my father."

Liu Zhang took out a thumb-sized pure gold seal from the sac he was wearing, as a way to prove his identity.

The dimensions are 2.5 centimeters in length and width, and 2 centimeters in height.

The grave keeper turned out to be a careful look at the golden seal, and the grave keeper was literate.

It is engraved with a small seal of "Red Throat Seal", and the seal is carved with a beast.

This gold seal is exquisitely carved and is definitely issued by the imperial court.

The grave keeper has seen many kinds of seals and can accurately distinguish the authenticity of the seals.

"You're a red monkey, it's okay to look at the gold seal."

The tomb keeper is called Wu You, who is responsible for guarding Liu Jia's tomb.

"I am indeed the Marquis of Hong, this golden seal was given by Emperor Xiaojing, and it has been passed down from generation to generation from my great-grandfather Marquis Hongyi."

If they use fake gold seals and false identities, they only need to report it to the local government.

Once caught, pretending to be a nobleman, the punishment is not light.

Since Liu Zhang's identity is no problem, he can let them go.

Li Dan came over with a few guards, and went to inform the lieutenant commander without worry.

Before leaving, tell Liu Zhang and them that if they need help, just tell them.

Look at them not only on horseback, but also in carriages.

Next to Liu Jia's tomb there is a grass house, which has not been inhabited for several months.

The men on horseback did not look like slaves, and they did not take a few servants with them when they went out.

Wu You won't ask too much, just do his own thing.

Liu Zhang drove the carriage to the front of the grass house, and then moved some of the items on the carriage.

There is a simple kitchen next to the cottage, while the sky is still bright.

Later, I will go to the market to buy some ingredients and buy some pottery utensils.

"Sister, you are resting in the grass house. I took Yuanzhi to the market to buy some things and came back. ”

It's not time to take out the things from the subspace watch, they're not here for fun.

These days, sweeping the graves, eating and living should be simple.

It is also a respect for the deceased, and the other guards are guarding the lineup near the grass house.

Mr. Liu took Mr. Li to a nearby bazaar, where he had stayed for a few months last year.

I am also familiar with the surrounding environment, and there is a market five miles east of the grass house.

When the carriage came to the bazaar, there were not many pedestrians in the bazaar.

People from nearby villages sell their handmade products or produce at the market.

These days are the Qingming season, and there are also offerings to worship ancestors in the market.

However, the workmanship is relatively rough, and ordinary people will not care about these.

Liu Zhang plans to buy some vegetables and pottery, and as for other items, let's look at it.

There was a lot of shouting in the bazaar, and they wanted to sell their goods as soon as possible.

There are many people who watch, but few people who buy, and the business of other stalls is also very bleak.

They first came to the pottery stall, which was covered with worn rags.

The pottery is relatively rough, and the stalls are lined with pottery for various purposes.

"Old man, how old are you?"

Looking at the old man with white hair in front of him, it is estimated that he is fifty or sixty years old.

"Two out of sixty, two of them want to buy pottery."

Seeing that the old man was a little thin, wearing a shabby linen robe.

A pair of straw sandals looks quite worn, this is the living conditions of the people at the bottom.

They only want food and clothing, and they are content.

"How do you sell this pottery?" Li Dan asked the old man.

"The big one is five dollars, the middle three dollars are one, and the small one is one."

There are also several stalls selling pottery in this bazaar, and he sells the cheapest pottery.

And there are all kinds of food, and you can use it for a long time to buy it and cook it.

"Old man, what do you call you?" Liu Zhang asked the old man.

"The old man's name is Chen Dashi, and he is from Chenjia Village. If the two of them fancy which piece of pottery, they can sell it cheaper. ”

The pottery is home-made and the price is absolutely fair.

"I want all these pottery, how much do you calculate?"

Liu Zhang took a look, and there were more than 30 pieces of large and small pottery on the stall.

It doesn't cost much to buy it, which can help Chen Dashi increase his income.

He was able to cook on a full set of pottery, and he had to live near his father's grave for seven days.

"Ten pieces of large, medium and small pottery, a total of ninety dollars. If your accommodation is a little far away, I can help you get to your accommodation in an ox cart. ”

Chen Dashi is willing to help them deliver to their homes for free, and he has been at the market for half a day.

Not a single piece of pottery was sold, and the two people in front of them seemed to have a good family.

Chen Dashi is very honest and helpful.

His son and grandson worked elsewhere and took advantage of the crowded markets on these days.

The pottery that has been made and saved up is sold in the market, and it really doesn't make a lot of money selling pottery.

Liu Zhang felt that Chen Dashi's arithmetic ability was really good, and he took out some copper coins from the cloth bag he was wearing.

Now the circulation is Han half two coins, and a copper coin weighs about four grams.

Copper coins are not paid one after another, but according to the total amount of money paid.

Weighing again, Chen Dashi picked up the scale on the stall.

The scale is sixteen taels, and the copper coin is put into the weighing pan.

You also have to look at the quality of the copper coin, and you are not afraid that the weight of the copper coin is not enough.

Instead, I am afraid that the copper coins will be too inferior, and if they trade with others.

Then this inferior copper coin can't be spent, and it will be a big loss for yourself.

Liu Zhang took out a handful of copper coins and put them in the lining plate.

Chen Dashi weighed the copper coins, which weighed a total of one hundred and fifty yuan.

He took out the extra money and returned it to Liu Zhang.

When ninety dollars were enough, the deal didn't end there.

It is also necessary to inspect the copper coins to prevent them from being mixed with inferior copper coins.

He has a small business and can't afford to lose.

Chen Dashi quickly and skillfully selected the copper coins, and put the qualified copper coins on the left.

Put the unqualified copper coins on the right, and quickly pick out ten inferior copper coins.

Chen Dashi was also unsure whether Liu Zhang and Li Dan had deliberately mixed inferior copper coins with high-quality copper coins.

Since you have picked out the inferior copper coins, you have to ask the other party to exchange them for the same amount.

"The quality of these copper coins is too poor, please pay with qualified copper coins."

The two of them looked at the ten inferior copper coins on the stall weighing about thirty grams, and they really didn't pay much attention to the problem of this money.

Liu Zhang used the Chu Han half two coins, and each copper coin weighed about the same.

The state of each county has the right to mint money, and during the period of Emperor Xiaowen, the people were allowed to mint money.

This also led to the uneven quality of copper coins, and he did not encounter such a problem when spending money in the Red Marquis Kingdom.

The copper coins minted by the Chu State also circulated to the Honghou State, and it may not be good luck this time.

"I'm so sorry, old man. We didn't pay much attention to the problem with the money, so I'll exchange it with you. ”

Liu Zhang's attitude is very good, and it is not easy for people to do small business.

He really had no intention of bullying people, and there were inferior copper coins among the copper coins he carried.

For him, a certain amount of damage has been caused, and it is estimated that there are only a lot more inferior copper coins like this.

It is necessary to inform the local government of this matter and let the government report it up to the next level.

It is best to let the imperial court unify the standards for minting money, and try to prevent the manufacture of inferior coins and disrupt the market economy.

Liu Zhang took out another handful of copper coins and asked Chen Dashi to pick out the copper coins that met the requirements.

There are quite a few people watching from the sidelines, and they rarely encounter this situation.

I hope Liu Zhang and Li Dan are not bullying the old man in front of them, and their attitudes are not bad.

Liu Zhang took back the inferior copper coins and stored them separately.

Since it is an inferior copper coin, it means that the copper content in the copper coin is very low.

I took it in my hand and checked it, but the weight was quite sufficient.

If you scan it with a subspace watch, you can scan out the proportion of metal content.

The next time you trade with someone else, you should pay attention to avoid unnecessary trouble.
