Chapter 19 Price Surveys
Entering the city requires a guide, that is, an identity certificate, Jian Ruochen and Luo Fan naturally don't have that thing, I don't know what Jiang Nuxiu is holding in front of the soldiers guarding the city, the soldier respectfully bows out of the way, and the two of them naturally follow behind and enter the city.
Jian Ruochen, who has seen the modern metropolis and visited the beautiful ancient city, is only slightly curious about the ten-meter-high city wall, bluestone paved road, and blue brick buildings of Lin'an City, and is attracted by a few big flags and high gate plaques not far from the city gate: Wind Luck Dart Line, Lianhai Dart Line, Qisheng Dart Line.
There are monks in this world, and a storage bag can solve the problem, why should there be a dart? Jian Ruochen couldn't help but glance at the gate of the dart game a few more times, and saw that Luo Fan was also thoughtful, and suddenly smiled in his heart, and reflexively thought: This dart game and Luo Fan are also professional counterparts?
After the two of them were led to the inn, Sister Jiang left, Jian Ruochen asked for hot water first, but she only washed her face and feet, and wiped her body with a hand towel, although the guy politely said that there was a bath bucket with hot water, but when she thought of the bath bucket, she didn't know how many people had used it, and Jian Ruochen didn't have the courage to take a hot bath.
Simply packed himself up, and when he went out of the room, he saw that Luo Fan had already chatted with his buddy, saw Jian Ruochen raise his hand to greet him, and said a few words to the guy before he smiled and said to Jian Ruochen who came over: "I just inquired with the guy, this is the most lively and prosperous around, go eat something first?"
Luo Fan came down first, and asked his buddies about the price and the structure of Lin Ancheng, and Jian Ruochen came out all the way to introduce that Lin Ancheng is a county town inhabited by mortals, and its residents are all mortals, only there are monks in the city government, and there are also monks in the Taoist business house opened by the Heavenly Dao Sect here.
"Mortal life doesn't seem to be much different from what we were in ancient times, though I don't know much about what we were like in ancient times. In a small restaurant, sitting by the window on the second floor, Luo Fan said.
Jian Ruochen looked at the dishes on the table and said: "Small pieces of porcelain, in the era of pottery and wood products, there is serious polarization in life, no, it's not just polarization, it's the differentiation of two worlds, each world is a hierarchy, I guess, you already have a plan." ”
Although it was lunch time, there were not many people eating, the two lowered their voices, and others also heard whispering, the guy was just serving, the two stopped talking, and after the guy left, the two moved chopsticks, Luo Fan replied: "Any world is the economic base that determines the upper world, Miss Jane has a deeper understanding than me." ”
Jian Ruochen snorted lightly: "I thought you were going to say that the weight of the fist is the last word." ”
Luo Fan smiled: "There are many truths, and the second generation is the last word, the place in the sect is probably not easy to get along with, we have finally experienced two worlds in our lives, and we are not good at operating, I'm really sorry for this rare opportunity." ”
"I'm really sorry, my concept is really different from yours, the economic foundation can only be built on the basis of strength, the fist is not hard, the foundation is not strong. In this regard, Jian Ruochen's experience is much deeper than Luo Fan's.
"I thought it was complementary, any kind of success is a money-burning business, especially this so-called cultivation of immortals, this world uses a huge mortal base to support a relatively small number of monks, isn't it because of limited resources, seize resources, is to seize strength, in order to have the possibility of self-preservation. Luo Fan said.
"It's relative, but you didn't think about our time? Making money and cultivating, both of them take time, and," Jian Ruochen sneered, "It's not difficult for me to make money, but it's the hardest thing to keep the money I earn in my own hands. ”
Luo Fan raised his eyebrows and looked at Jian Ruochen, and suddenly smiled: "Speaking of shooting the first bird, I think of a money-making business, but as you said, you must have strength first." ”
Speaking of strength, the two of them were silent, from the beginning of the crossing, they deeply felt the importance of strength, in the past ten days, the two of them only touched a little bit of the threshold of cultivation in the first night, and they never dared to make any rash moves, hovering between life and death several times, they had already harbored a breath in their hearts, but in the face of reality, they didn't dare to express it at all.
Ten days ago, the two were still standing in opposing camps, they were two police and bandits, but they could join hands to the outside world, Jian Ruochen's fearlessness, quick response, and thoughtfulness made Luo Fan admire in his heart, Luo Fan stood in front of Jian Ruochen on the line of life and death, and also made Jian Ruochen deeply memorable.
But, no matter what, what was in front of the two of them was the word strength, in order to escape in the hands of the village chief that day, they had to choose to enter the Heavenly Dao Sect, and now, it is impossible to live a stable life as a mortal, not to mention, the two of them were not ordinary ordinary people before.
After eating, the two of them took a turn in Lin Ancheng, first familiar with the price, Xia Chen gave them a few pieces of gold added up to more than twenty taels, one or two gold can be exchanged for a hundred taels of silver, one or two silver is a thousand copper coins, two copper coins can buy a white flour steamed bun or a bowl of rice, a plate of vegetarian dishes in the restaurant is twenty copper coins, and meat dishes are more than thirty yuan.
The prices of daily necessities are not high, but when they enter the only bookstore in the city that sells pen, ink, paper and inkstones, they are stunned by the prices here.
This was the first time they had seen paper since they entered this world, the snow-white rice paper was priced in sheets, one was a hundred copper coins, and as for the books, it was measured in silver, and a thin booklet was dozens of taels of silver.
The policy of fooling the people, the privileged class.
Jian Ruochen and Luo Fan's minds had these words at the same time, but when they saw a book that seemed to be made of animal skins for only five taels of silver, they couldn't figure it out, could it be that paper was more expensive than animal skins?
Soon the guy answered the doubts of the two, in this Lin An City, or the entire Zheng Kingdom, paper is indeed more precious than animal skin.
Jian Ruochen and Luo Fan glanced at each other, and they both saw business opportunities in each other's eyes, and Jian Ruochen's heart really had a stronger desire than Luo Fan.
There is no need for Luo Fan to say anything, the pulp and paper project has automatically appeared in Jian Ruochen's mind, and there are even some hidden projects that Luo Fan thinks, without him, as long as it is a woman, the trouble once a month is coming, and even taking a bath cannot be solved, if this trouble comes, Jian Ruochen feels that she can go crazy.
