After the whole family traveled across time and space to escape, my father was forced to ascend the
Chapter 48 Making friends with wealthy businessmen
The aunt also said: "We can't just leave like this. I have to thank you for my daughter's ability to get married well this time."
Another person said: "We don't have anything good to entertain you, so don't refuse."
Lin Jinyue really didn't dare to eat it. He had seen many people selling their sons and daughters for a mouthful of brown rice on the way out from the desert. Even if they had farm space, looking at the simple and honest faces of these people, he didn't dare to ask for it.
But they are so enthusiastic.
After some rejection, I realized that the people in this village were really not short of food.
Aunt Wang was surprised when she heard Lin Jinyue talk about the situation outside: "Why, there is such a shortage of food outside? Are you selling your sons and daughters?"
Lin Jinyue was stunned: "You are not in need?"
Aunt Wang’s eldest son, Wang Jin, was a salesman. He traveled all over the country and learned more about it, so he explained: “We are not lacking, but I have heard that the roads in Yunlin County further north are easier. People in towns and villages, Everyone has to pay for food, and every now and then they have to pay a few buckets of rice. You said this rice can't be transformed out of thin air, and the people there have a hard time."
"Usually, I always thought that the village was too remote to make money, but now I realized that remoteness also has its advantages. The mountain road is difficult to walk, and it is difficult for the officers and soldiers to come in to collect grain. Although our village is classified as Jiangnan, but We are close to Yunchong County in Lingnan, and the magistrate of Yunlin County does not listen to King Jing, and there is no way to collect grain."
Lin Shucheng had an impression of Yunlin County. Just looking at the map, he felt that it was remote. It was surrounded by mountains and was far away from Yangzhou, the base camp of Prince Jing.
Then I heard Aunt Wang continue to say: "We are close to Yunsong County, which is just right, and it is safe there. If you want to go shopping later, don't say that you are from the north. Those black-hearted people must be there." You have to charge more!”
Aunt Wang was worried and wanted her son to go with her.
This group of people is just too enthusiastic.
After Lin Jinyue refused again and again, the family of three led their horses in the direction of Yunsong County.
The mountain road was difficult to walk. After having a light meal in the morning, they arrived at Yunsong County in the afternoon.
Sure enough, as Mr. Tan said, the city gate was not as heavily guarded as the Runan County we visited earlier.
The family of three entered Yunsong County together, and the guard at the gate did not ask them to show directions. They only had to pay a penny entrance fee each.
Lin Shucheng gave him two copper coins, but the guard refused to take more, saying that Lin Jinyue was a child and his head was not counted.
As soon as these words came out, Lin Jinyue knew that they had made the right decision to come to Lingnan.
Just like the city under Prince Jing, those officers and soldiers want to peel off a layer of your skin and squeeze you to death. The officials here are so conscientious.
It shows that the security here is pretty good.
They first took a look at the banknote given by Mr. Tan.
There are wars everywhere these days, many banks have closed down, and some merchants are worried that if the banks fail, those one hundred and two thousand taels of banknotes will become useless paper.
Lin Jinyue was also worried and had to use the banknote first.
She didn't know whether the merchants here would accept cashier's checks. Anyway, the system only recognized cash, not banknotes, so she had better change her money quickly so that she could feel more at ease.
After all, gold and silver have been considered stable currencies since ancient times, for thousands of years.
What made Lin Jinyue a little disappointed was that they really didn't accept the banknote.
This made Lin Shucheng and Jiang Yun very worried.
Jiang Yun sighed: "What should I do? I'm still thinking of preparing more medicinal materials. Why don't every family accept them?"
Not counting the one hundred taels, they only have thirty-six taels on hand. The wolf skins can also be sold for some money, but the winter here is not cold. They are only willing to give them forty taels of silver for the four wolf skin cloaks, which adds up to less than one hundred taels. two.
In troubled times, medicinal materials are expensive and difficult to buy. They have other things to buy, and they don't know if the money will be enough to buy medicinal materials.
Lin Jinyue: "Mom, let's think of other ways."
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing luxurious clothes and a slightly plump figure came over and asked with a smile: "How about you give me this banknote and I will give you ten taels?"
Lin Jinyue looked at the one hundred taels of silver notes in her hand. She could only exchange for ten taels?
There are indeed some people who are willing to take risks to collect cash.
But the price is extremely low.
For example, these one hundred taels of silver notes can only be exchanged for dozens of taels at a low price. If they have a way to use the banknotes, they can make dozens of taels more.
If they can't make a profit, then they have to bear the loss themselves.
Lin Shucheng and his wife both looked at their daughter subconsciously. They couldn't understand the twists and turns in ancient times.
Lin Jinyue thought for a while: "Thirty taels."
The man agreed directly without thinking: "Okay."
He immediately took out three large silver ingots and handed them to Lin Jinyue.
Lin Jinyue: Oh, what a mistake.
She should have asked for more just now!
Losing big!
Seeing Lin Jinyue's regretful expression made Hu Laosan amused.
Mr. Hu Sanye said cheerfully: "Hey, little girl, I just see that you are cute, so thirty taels is my minimum price. No matter how high you offer me, I can only offer you thirty taels at most." "
Mr. Hu is slightly fatter, and his facial features look very kind.
He was afraid that the little girl would feel uncomfortable, so he said with a smile: "I have collected a lot of banknotes now. If I lose the bet in the end, I will lose a lot. Look, you got thirty taels in vain."
Lin Jinyue didn't worry about that. If the banknote couldn't be used, it was just a piece of waste paper. Being able to exchange it for thirty taels was considered an unexpected blessing.
She looked at Mr. Hu with a smile, thinking that this man was quite nice.
Lin Jinyue's intuition was always accurate.
It's not easy to meet an honest businessman. These businessmen love to trick out-of-towners.
Lin Jinyue wanted to make friends. After all, she still had room to beg him for a while, so she used her half-baked medical skills to show Master Hu.
She asked: "Uncle, have you been unable to sleep at night and occasionally had heart palpitations during this period?"
Mr. Hu was startled, "How do you know?"
He had been looking at this group of people for a long time, and he knew they were from the north just by their accents. Looking at their behavior, they were definitely not from Yunsong County, and there was no way they could inquire in advance.
How does this little girl know that she can't sleep well at night?
Seeing his surprised expression, Lin Jinyue smiled and said, "My mother is a doctor, a very powerful one. I also learned a little bit from her, so I can tell."
Hu Sanye said to himself that it was lucky that he didn't have ten taels of silver to cheat them.
He turned out to be a miracle doctor.
Even such a young girl can tell that he has been feeling unwell lately and needs to make good friends.
Jiang Yun didn't know why her daughter bothered, but she still smiled and asked: "If you are not in a hurry, why don't you find a teahouse and let me check your pulse?"
Mr. Hu Sanye hurriedly said: "Why don't you come with me to my house? To be honest, these are all minor problems with me. My wife is not feeling well. I have searched all over the city for medical women, but no one can solve it. "
Jiang Yun nodded and agreed.
