Zhenguan Wenzong System

Chapter 369
Two days passed quickly.

When Luo Yan walked to the front yard of Guozi Academy, he looked at the people standing in the yard, estimated the number, and remained silent for a long time.

He knows the number of people who signed up for the scientific examination at Guozixue, there are more than [-] people.But now there are only four or five hundred standing in the front yard.Although this number is not very detailed, Luo Yan glanced at it and only hit a similar number.

This also includes the students from outside, because Luo Yan has received news before that roughly a hundred scholars entered the Guozi Academy and never went out again.

Luo Yan sighed, these guys still don't believe in themselves.However, all the students of Guozixue held a skeptical attitude towards him, which instead aroused a little bit of competitiveness in Luo Yan's heart.You don't trust me, I'll let you see, don't cry if you regret it then.

After waiting for another moment, seeing that no one came again, Luo Yan nodded: "Since everyone is here, let me say a few words before the lecture. You all know the rules, and I will not force you to come or stay as you please. But once Leave, don't think about coming in again. You can hear clearly later. "

There was a silence below.

This is the first time I have seen such a strange rule, and many people doubt whether Luo Yan is really as the outside world said, this time he is trying to gain fame.

But after being silent for a while, I heard someone shouting from the crowd: "Dr. Luo, no, Assistant Professor Luo, I, a Jinzhou scholar, will never quit. As long as you teach, no matter what it is, I am looking forward to it."

This almost superstitious cry made the scholars below come alive immediately.

"From Jinzhou?"

"Hi, Assistant Professor Luo was a Ph.D. in Golden State Studies a few years ago."

"I know, it's because of this that I chose to stay. I really don't know what ecstasy soup Assistant Professor Luo gave to Jinzhou people. It's been several years, and I'm still so enthusiastic."

"Stop talking, let's see how he teaches."

Seeing the sound of voices gradually coming from below, Luo Yan nodded.He took out a purse from his bosom and said to the people below: "The first lesson I'm going to teach you today is a hundred coins. What can you buy?"

Immediately, some people were happy inside. It is not easy to buy anything for a hundred pennies.

"Five buckets of rice."

"A piece of silk."

"Twenty catties of mutton."

"A piece of paper."

"A "Spring and Autumn" by Mo Xiangju."

The answers came one after another, with various types, making it easy for Luo Yan to remember for a while.

Hearing the voices of the students gradually weakened, Luo Yan continued: "Very well, I have heard many kinds of answers, but do you think that one hundred coins can really only buy these things?"

"Professor Luo, can you still buy a cow?" Some of the students burst into laughter. Luo Yan's question was so interesting. You can only buy these, but can you also buy more valuable ones?
Luo Yan smiled and nodded: "Well, it's not impossible, but you have to give me a day."

Dare to say, the students suddenly couldn't believe it.One day spent one hundred Wen to buy a cow, Luo Yan went out this morning and ate twenty bowls of soup cakes, did he become a fool?Everyone knows that a cow is worth three pennies, and this is a beef cattle sent from the grassland.If it is farming cattle, it will be even more expensive, at least five pennies.

Looking at all the unbelievable students, Luo Yan smiled: "What's the matter? Don't believe it? Since you don't believe it, then I'll take you to see it with your own eyes, and let you know how much a hundred coins can be spent in a day. Inside, how to buy a cow."

After Luo Yan finished speaking, he ignored the students who were still there in a daze, and walked to the gate of Guozi Academy.

Luo Yan's first destination was West Market.This is the trading area for common people in Chang'an. Every day, all kinds of goods in the Tang Dynasty are circulated here, and the prosperity level once surpassed that of Dongshi.Although there was a large group of students following closely behind, Luo Yan and his party did not attract much attention.

In a very mysterious place, Luo Yan handed in the purse, and then saw another bigger purse handed out.

Luo Yan weighed it, and then continued to walk forward casually, watching the goods on the side of the road while walking.When he saw a Hu merchant's stall selling pearls and jade, he stepped forward.

At this moment, the Hu merchant was yelling vigorously, and when he saw Luo Yan coming forward, he greeted him warmly: "Respected guest, I have the best jade here, as long as you want, I have it here." Words Between, very proud.

Luo Yan smiled: "Don't fool me, if you really have something good, you would have gone to the East Market a long time ago, where can you hang out in the West Market. Well, don't talk nonsense, I want to buy a few pieces of jade to practice Carving work."

The Hu merchant was not embarrassed when he heard that he had been found out, but he said enthusiastically: "Your honorable guest can understand people at a glance. You can just look at the things on this stall."

Luo Yan nodded, picked up three items from the stall, and asked Hu Shang, "That's all. Tell me, what's the price?"

"Hey, respected guest, that kind of gray amber can also catch your eyes. But the other two kinds of appearance are not bad, just give me 130 Wen." Hu Shang was very surprised why Luo Yan wanted to put someone on the stall. I took away the piece of gray amber that I didn't want to buy, but I think it's also people's preference, as long as there is money to make, I can't care so much.

With a hum, Luo Yan took out the purse from the mysterious place just now from his bosom, threw it to Hu Shang and said, "Here is 150 civil and military virtue money, and the extra [-] Wen is a discount for you."

When Hu Shang saw this, he was overjoyed and bowed to Luo Yan.

At this time, the students who were watching were a little confused.A brave man walked up to Luo Yan and asked, "Assistant Luo, you violated the rules this time. Didn't you agree on a hundred coins, why did you take out 150 coins?"

Seeing that there are still people who can grasp this point, Luo Yan smiled: "The 150 coins I took out at that time were cast in the sixth year of Zhenguan. As for why it became [-] civil and military virtue coins, let's talk about the money at the beginning. I came to do that thing. As for the reason, you can think for yourself."

Since Luo Yan said that he had to figure out the reason for himself, the students would no longer hold on to this problem, and could only follow Luo Yan.

This time Luo Yan didn't stay in the West Market anymore, but spent more than half an hour walking to the East Market.The students suffered a great crime. They watched Luo Yan buy cattle, and ended up running around Chang'an with themselves.

But when he saw Luo Yan going to the east market, he plunged into a medicine shop.

The pharmacy is small, and it is impossible for everyone to go in, so we can only see who is following closely.After Luo Yan walked into the drugstore, he looked at the busy guy: "I said, is the shopkeeper here? I have some rare and precious medicinal materials to sell, so please come out and take care of the eyes."

The clerk in the pharmacy also laughed: "Respected customer, why are you underestimating me? I have been an apprentice in this shop for eight years. Why do you need to trouble my shopkeeper for such a trivial matter?"

Hearing the guy's displeasure, Luo Yan smiled: "It's not that you don't know the goods, but that this thing is really expensive, even if you recognize it, you may not dare to bid. In the end, you still have to find your shopkeeper. It's better to call him as soon as possible, and save some trouble."

"Even if it's called, you have to let me know what Zunke is selling, right? If you call my shopkeeper for no reason, I'm going to get hung up." The man was dubious.

Luo Yan chuckled: "Amberx."

"What?" The clerk almost jumped up in shock, and yelled towards the inside: "Shopkeeper, hurry up, there is a distinguished customer here who has a good product."

The appearance of shouting vigorously, but afraid that outsiders would hear it, made the apprentices who came in to watch burst into laughter.

It didn't take long for the laughter to rise before seeing a chubby fat man turning out from behind.Seeing a group of people laughing there, the fat man was also a little unhappy: "Little Sanzi, your skin is itchy again. If there is no good product this time, you don't have to think about getting extra money this month."

After scolding, he came to Luo Yan.

Luo Yan went around a lot, and asked a little flatly: "I don't know what good you want to sell, sir? I'm here now, so why not take it out and have a look."

Luo Yan didn't have any dislike for this person's attitude, anyway, he was just doing business, so why be so polite.

Taking out the gray amber thing in his sleeve, Luo Yan put it on the table.

Luo Yan's actions made the fat man disdainful.Just because of this attitude of not cherishing at all, the thing in front of me is probably not a good product.If it's really worth money, Luo Yan's clothes should be picked up and put down gently.

Luo Yan saw the disdain in Fatty's eyes, and said to the man, "Bring fire."

Although he didn't know what Luo Yan wanted to do, but the buddy had heard Luo Yan say that it was ambergris before. Although he was skeptical, he still had a glimmer of hope.

The lamp was brought and placed on the table. Luo Yan took out a piece of jade that he had just bought from his sleeve, and scraped the gray amber with the sharp point. It may have been a little harder, but some powder was scraped out with just one swipe. Come.

Pack the jade and sprinkle the powder on the lamp.Suddenly a strange fragrance emanated from the flame.Even though it was just a handful of powder, the fragrance actually filled the whole pharmacy, and even the students outside the pharmacy asked, "What's going on inside, it's so fragrant."

At this time, the fat man finally put away his original disdain and was dumbfounded. It took him a long time to spit out three words: "Amberx."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Luo Yan with burning eyes: "Guest, no matter what, you have to sell this piece of ambergris to me. You can tell me what price you want. As long as I Tongxintang can afford it, it will be considered a sale." If I go to this pharmacy, I will buy it."

The piece of ambergris that Luo Yan took out was worth three taels.Ambergris has always had a price but no market. If you really meet a buyer, let alone one pharmacy, you will buy two or three more.

Luo Yan smiled: "Give me twenty pennies, and I'll give you three pennies."

And the fat man, hearing this answer, was so excited that he almost jumped up.
