Invincible Three Kingdoms System

Chapter 3 Watches for Gold

Entering Yixian County, Zhao Qian looked curious. After all, this is a real ancient county, much more real than the one on TV.

But it is precisely because of the reality that the county town does not look so beautiful. There are low houses everywhere, and the arrangement is not very neat, some are high and some are low.

There are people coming and going on the street, but most of them are dressed in ragged clothes, and they don't seem to have much energy and look weak.

Seeing this, Zhao Qian knew that Yi County should be a small county. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, eunuchs and foreign relatives took turns to rule, which caused the people to live in poverty. This can be seen from the people of Yi County.

After some inquiries, Zhao Qian finally knew where he was. This Yi County was located at the junction of Jizhou and Youzhou in the Han Dynasty, and administratively belonged to Jizhou.

Moreover, Zhao Qian also found out that it is the sixth year of Guanghe. If it was another year, Zhao Qian might not know it, but he still knew about Guanghe, because in the seventh year of Guanghe, the Yellow Turban Uprising broke out.

Looking at it this way, there is still almost a year before the Yellow Turban Uprising.

At first, Zhao Qian was worried that his clothes would look weird in ancient times, but when he saw many people in strange clothes, he dispelled this concern.

It turned out that this place was not far from the Xianbei tribe in the north and the Qianghu tribe in the northwest. Many people traded horses and horses, and Zhao Qian was nothing out of the ordinary compared to them.

Besides, in this era when you can't get enough to eat, who cares what you wear?
Before he knew it, it was almost noon, and Zhao Qian felt hungry. It seemed that the most urgent task was to buy some food.

But Zhao Qian didn't have the coins of the Han Dynasty at all, so what should I do?

Walking, Zhao Qian came to an inn-like place, so he walked in, and as soon as he entered, a clerk came forward.

"Guest officer, do you want to eat or stay in a hotel?"

Zhao Qian rolled his eyes, and suddenly saw the watch on his wrist, so he said with a smile: "Brother, when I first arrived in Yi County, I didn't want to lose my money. I still have something on my lower body, I want to exchange it for a money envoy."

The guy was simple-minded and didn't think about anything else. He replied directly: "The Su Mansion in this county is a home for business. If you have any good things, you can go to them to have a look."

Zhao Qian was overjoyed and asked, "I don't know how to get to the Su Mansion?"

The clerk put the towel in his hand on his shoulders, walked to the door of the inn and stretched out his finger: "You go straight along this road, turn left at the intersection in front, and you will see it."

Zhao Qian clasped his fists in both hands and saluted, and said, "Thank you for your journey, brother, and I will take my leave."

The inn clerk hurriedly returned the salute, a little flattered. In his opinion, although Zhao Qian was dressed strangely, he must be a noble family. It was the first time that such a noble person saluted him.

When the clerk straightened up, Zhao Qian had already left the inn. Looking at Zhao Qian's back, the clerk muttered to himself, "Whose son is this? You are really approachable."

At this time, Zhao Qian was walking towards Su Mansion according to the instructions of the buddy. As the buddy said, after turning left at the intersection, he saw Su Mansion not far away.

boom!boom!
Zhao Qian reached out and patted the door twice.

Not long after, the wooden door was opened with a creak, and an old man came out from inside. After looking Zhao Qian up and down, he asked, "What is this young man doing?"

Zhao Qian saluted and said: "I'm Zhao Qian, I want to pawn some things, I don't know if they will be accepted here?"

"Oh? What is it? Can I have a look at it?" the old man said with a smile.

"Of course." Zhao Qian nodded, rolled up his sleeves to reveal the watch on his wrist, and handed it to the old man.

The old man looked intently, but after looking for a long time, he didn't see any tricks. After all, watches in the future world are beyond his comprehension.

"May I ask what this is?" the old man asked.

Zhao Qian thought about it, and probably told him it was a watch, but he didn't know, so he answered, "Old man, this is called a timer. Look, there are twelve grids on it. When the short hand completes a circle, So exactly six hours have passed, and after two laps, it will be twelve hours."

"Oh! It's really a strange thing!" The old man sighed, "I don't know how much this thing is worth, so I'd better invite you into the mansion and let my Patriarch take a look."

Zhao Qian followed the old man to the lobby of the Su Mansion to sit down, and the old man went to the back house to find the owner.

After sitting for a while, a middle-aged man came to the lobby. After seeing Zhao Qian, he was a little surprised, so he bowed deeply and said, "Su Quan, whose name is Zi Qi, is the Patriarch of the Su House in Yi County. , I don’t know your son Gao’s name?”

Hearing that it was the Patriarch of the Su family, Zhao Qian got up quickly and said, "My lord, Zhao Qian, um, the characters are far away. I passed by Yi County and lost all my money, so I came here to bother you for help."

Zhao Qian hurriedly answered in the tone of the other party, and also took a word for himself.

Su Quan nodded, knowing that Zhao Qian had a lot to say, so he didn't ask too many questions, this was his duty as a businessman.

"I heard from the old servant at home that it is very miraculous that the young master has a timer. I wonder if I can let you watch it next time?" Su Quan asked directly without talking nonsense.

Zhao Qian hurriedly took off the watch on his wrist, handed it over, and said, "This is the timer below. Take a look, Patriarch Su, how much is it worth?"

Su Quan took the watch and looked at it carefully. Zhao Qian was at the side and briefly introduced the function of the watch, which made Su Quan nod his head incessantly.

"I didn't expect such a strange thing to exist in this world. It's really wonderful!" Su Quan couldn't help applauding after hearing this.

"Then how much does Patriarch Su think this thing is worth?" Zhao Qian asked, this is what he cares most about.

Su Quan restrained his expression and said: "This thing is very rare and very valuable. I am willing to pay two thousand gold. I wonder if Ziyuan can part with it?"

It was the first time he heard someone call him Ziyuan, Zhao Qian was taken aback for a moment before realizing it, and then he heard Su Quan say that he could pay two thousand gold, and he couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

However, Zhao Qian did not show it, but frowned slightly, staring at the watch with his eyes, expressing great reluctance.

Sure enough, Su Quan was fooled, and quickly said: "I'll add another five hundred gold, a total of twenty-five hundred gold, this price, I can conclude that not only in Yi County, but even in the whole of Jizhou, few people can pay it."

After Zhao Qian heard this, he nodded slowly and said, "Well, if it weren't for the downfall at this time, this thing will never be sold."

Su Quan was overjoyed, and quickly asked someone to fetch [-] gold and put it in front of Zhao Qian.

After opening the box, Zhao Qian couldn't help being stunned. There was a whole box of gold!This was something he had never seen before. He didn't expect that a broken watch worth 200 yuan would be exchanged for a box of gold!
Looking at the box full of gold, Zhao Qian was also a little worried, he couldn't carry a big box with him.

"Patriarch Su, I have an unfeeling request." Zhao Qian said.
