After finishing speaking, Sun Cheng violently stomped on the bluestone slabs on the street under his feet.

"Snapped!"

Amid the sound of cracking, the bluestone slab under his feet quickly shattered into countless pieces as if it had been hit by a weight of ten thousand catties.

After seeing it, the poppiers all changed expression.

Immediately stood up in embarrassment, enduring the pain of broken legs and hands, and supported each other.

After setting up the person who was suspected to be their elder brother, he left without even daring to say a harsh word.

As soon as they left, Sun Cheng cupped his fists at the surrounding townspeople.

Seeing that there was no excitement, the surrounding town residents quickly dispersed again.

Sun Cheng walked to the grain shop, and replaced the pile of bluestone bricks that he had crushed just now, and the few bluestone bricks that had been broken during the fight, from the pile of bluestone bricks that the other party had there.

After finishing these, Sun Cheng returned to the Sun Ji grain store.

He, too, had been kind in the past six years.

But this dark age soon taught Sun Cheng the cruelest lesson.

When I witnessed the rogues in the town, snatching the wives and daughters of the dead smokers, and sending them to the fireworks factory or even the teeth market as livestock auctions.

From that day on, Sun Cheng understood.

How chaotic and dark this era was once summarized in a few simple articles in the history books of later generations.

Those hooligans who rely on the rich and powerful are not worthy of pity at all.

There are millions if not millions of people like them in this era.

Bullying to dominate the market and working as a minion for a tiger, such a thing deserves death!

He took out a wooden sign that said the business was suspended, and put it up outside the grain store.

After Sun Cheng closed the door, he took out the steamed stuffed bun brought by Xiaoyun from the steamer and started to eat it.

What happened just now has long been thrown behind his head.

Here in Shangxiang Township, as long as there is no fatal accident, or someone goes to the government to sue, generally no one will meddle in other people's business.

Theoretically, Shangxiang Town also belongs to Fukang County, but it is a no-nonsense area.

There is no other reason, because of the boundary division of the Qing court.

Shangxiang Township, which is located just on the provincial border between Guangxi and Guangdong provinces, was allocated half by the Qing government to Fukang County in Guangxi Province, but the other half was allocated to Shaozhou Prefecture in Guangdong Province.

However, Shangxiang is surrounded by mountains on all sides, with inconvenient transportation and no special production capacity to cause competition between the two provinces.

Therefore, since the demarcation of the boundary by the Qing court, most of the townships in Shangxiang belong to the three-way zone.

As long as the town pays taxes on time every year, no matter if it is Fukang County in Guangxi Province or Shaozhou Prefecture in Guangdong Province.

They are all left to the gentry and rich people here to manage and toss.

Unfortunately, the current mayor of Shangxiang Town happens to be somewhat related to Sun Cheng in this life.

Chapter 005

The farce that happened outside Sun Ji's grain shop at noon obviously did not affect the business of the grain shop.

After opening for business in the afternoon, customers still come to the door as usual.

In a busy day, the time of the day always goes by very fast.

This era is no better than the peaceful and prosperous times of the later generations. After six o'clock, most shops in the town began to close one after another.

Sun Cheng's grain shop is no exception!

There are no wrist watches yet, and even pocket watches are rare items, and they have not been industrialized and mass-produced by foreigners.

The year before last, Sun Cheng wanted to ask someone to buy a pocket watch to tell the time, but when he asked the price, he immediately died down.

In the bustling Shili foreign company, a Western pocket watch can sell for 700 yuan.

Ask someone to bring it from Yangcheng to Shangxiang Town, and the price has more than tripled, reaching a sky-high price of [-] oceans.

To know the purchasing power of a piece of ocean in this era, you can buy nearly [-] catties of rice in other provinces.

Or about [-] catties of pork, or about [-] catties of chicken.

In the past few years, although Sun Cheng has saved a lot of money, he is not willing to be taken advantage of by others.

And these days, Chinese people also have their own means of identifying the time.

"Bang bang bang bang bang..."

On the street outside, the sound of watchmen starting to play.

Sun Cheng knew that the first watch was coming.

Playing is an ancient night time reporting system formed by Xia Guo after countless years of exploration since ancient times.

As a result, a kind of night watch job came into being - watchman, and watchman is also commonly known as watchman.

Watchmen are generally employed by the mayor of the town, village or county government, and tell the time by beating clappers or gongs at night.

At the same time, they will also be responsible for patrolling the wrong robbers and fires, and ring the gongs and ring the police when they find out!

The ancients divided the night into five shifts a long time ago, and each shift is one hour, that is, two hours.

In the blink of an eye, it has been six years since Sun Cheng came to this world.

Over the past six years, he has become completely accustomed to seeing the sun and the angle of shadows caused by the light during the day.

Listen to the watchman's call at night to determine the time of day.

At this moment, when he heard the watchman start to knock on the clapper, Sun Cheng knew that it was around seven o'clock in the evening.

Immediately, he quickly closed the shop and locked the doors and windows. He took dozens of planks from the wall and moved them to block the windows and doors one by one.

In the past two years, the territory of Guangxi Province has not been peaceful. Because of the border wars and the local government's forced collection of grain and grass, and strong men, there are not a few people who are forced to become bandits and occupy the mountains as kings.

Although Shangxiang Township is in the rear, it has suffered from several bandits in the past two years.

Although Sun Cheng had never encountered robbers, he was robbed several times by thieves at night. Although the loss was only about ten yuan, he felt uncomfortable after all, so he began to strengthen his precautions.

After finishing all this, Sun Cheng went upstairs without any haste, lit a kerosene lamp, and read the ledger there.

"A total of 730 catties of fresh sweet potatoes, 430 catties of sweet potato flour, 33 catties of sweet potato vermicelli, 170 catties of sweet potato noodles, 62 catties of sweet potato jelly, 38 catties of sweet potato sugar, 170 catties of sweet potato wine and [-] liang of sweet potato were sold today. Three catties and four taels of vinegar... After deducting the cost, the total profit is [-] yuan and [-] cents..."

"Sold 190 pots of sweet potato porridge, [-] taels of sweet potato bread, and provided three catties of mustard...a total loss of two yuan and seven..."

"It seems that the war between the Qing court and France in the past two years has had an increasing impact on the economy of Guangxi Province...Recently, many people have come to my place to buy cheap sweet potatoes that they are not used to. It can be seen that everyone has no money in their pockets. ..."

After calculating today's business, Sun Cheng weighed the heavy storage box.

After picking for a while as usual, I picked out all the silver dollars inside.

Among these silver dollars, there are Guangxu Yuanbao sold by the Qing court, Longyang exported by Fusang, Yingyang from the Americas, Spanish silver dollars, and Zhanyang made by the colonies in England and exported to the Qing Dynasty in large quantities.

These silver dollars, because of the different silver content, the currency value is not exactly the same.

But in general, the conversion gap between them is not large.

Looking at the seventy or eighty silver coins of various colors placed on the table in front of him, Sun Cheng couldn't help feeling proud.

After traveling to this world for six years, he has now completely established himself in this world.

Sun Cheng is no longer short of money, but he still enjoys the mood of making money.

After playing with it for a while, he stretched out his hand to hold it empty.

The next moment, Sun Cheng took out a heavy wooden box from the inner world, and gently placed it on the table in front of him.

When the wooden box was opened, the moment the lid was lifted, it was already filled with all kinds of shining silver dollars, probably thousands of them.

Sun Cheng admired it for a few moments, and then threw all the silver dollars he earned today into the wooden box.

Then after re-covering the wooden box, he put one hand on the wooden box, and immediately another idea popped up in his mind.

In an instant, the big wooden box filled with various silver dollars was taken back into the inner world by Sun Cheng again.

The magical little world in his body, although his body can't enter it, he can put things in it.

Regarding the inner world, in the past six years, although Sun Cheng still dare not say that he is fully familiar with it.

But he was also sure that no one else could feel the existence of the inner world except himself.

So for Sun Cheng, there is no safer place than the inner world.

All his valuables were placed in the inner world.

As for the storage box, although there were copper coins worth more than 100 oceans inside, Sun Cheng ignored them.

It was just locked and randomly placed under the cash register on the first floor!

After putting away the ledger, he turned around and went up the stairs to the second floor.

This second-floor facade facing the street was bought from a merchant four years ago, and it cost him more than 700 yuan.

More than 700 yuan is definitely not a small sum in this era.

You must know that in Shangxiang Township, such as Sun Cheng's current fiancée Yang Xiaoyun's family of carpenters.

After a year of hard work, he had to save money on food and expenses, and the money he could save was only about twenty yuan.

The more than 700 yuan needs to be saved by a family with skills for at least 30 years.

This is because although this facade is located in the North Gate Market in Shangxiang Township, the location is not very good.

Otherwise, if the price doubles again, people may not be willing to sell it.

The facade under Sun Cheng's plate has two floors, and there is a small courtyard of less than [-] square meters behind it.

The small courtyard at the back is where he usually cooks and washes.

The two facades on the first floor were opened up by Sun Cheng as a grain shop, and the second floor was where he slept and rested on weekdays.

After opening the door and entering his bedroom on the second floor, Sun Cheng locked the door behind him, lay down on the bed, and closed his eyes to peep into the inner world.

Soon, as if he had transformed into a creator, his line of sight appeared in a magical small space.

After six years of continuous exploration, after absorbing a lot of resources from the real world.

孙诚最开始获得的这处小空间,已经从原来的长·宽·高100·100·10米,扩增到了现在的2760·2760·276米。

In other words, the land area of ​​the Inner World has expanded from less than a dozen mu to the current more than 1000 mu.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Sun Cheng has now become a big landlord with tens of thousands of mu of fertile land.

Chapter 006

Although there is no 'sun' in this inner world, it is miraculously always as bright as day.

Sun Cheng even tested it and found that the temperature in this inner world is always constant at more than 20 degrees, which is the most suitable temperature for most animals and plants to grow.

This small world can absorb all the substances in the real world, decompose them and use them to evolve itself.

In the past fleeting years, Sun Cheng also discovered many secrets about this world.

For example, the ratio of length, width, and height in this world is fixed at 100:100:10.

In other words, no matter how much the length and width of this world increase in the future, the height of the sky will always be only one hundredth of them.

By the way, Sun Cheng also discovered that the height of this world is divided into two parts, 'height of the sky' and 'thickness of the land'.

The sky and the land share the height of the entire space according to the ratio of 9:1.

For example, Sun Cheng's current inner world has a height of 276 meters, the thickness of the land is 27.6 meters, and the rest is the height of the sky.

Unbelievable as it may seem, this is the real state of his inner world right now.

In the past six years, the continuously expanding land in the Inner World has been well utilized by Sun Cheng.

In the center of the inner world, he set aside more than 20 mu, or more than 1 square meters of land.

Sun Cheng used his power of creator to purchase raw materials from reality and built a three-entry courtyard house.
