The escape system takes me to dig for treasures

Chapter 294 Start preparations in advance

Unknowingly, the carriage had stopped and the group of people arrived at the market.

The carriage was tied at the gate of the market, and after paying five cents, someone was watching the carriage, holding a wooden sign with the number five written on it.

It wasn't like this before, the market could be entered by horse-drawn carriages, mules and carts, but now it's managed.

Jiang Songshu said: "Now the county magistrate has been replaced."

The first thing a new official does when he takes office is to take control of the market.

Jiang Li and Jiang Songshu didn't say anything, but Yu Dayang and the others were distressed that these five cents could buy a pound of brown rice.

"Ah Li, why don't we leave one person here to watch the carriage, so we don't have to pay."

Several people winked at each other and pushed one person forward.

"Anyway, I don't have much to buy, so I can just let Dayang help me buy it."

The man's frame seemed taller, so he was selected.

Yu Dayang nodded in agreement.

Seeing that they insisted, Jiang Li withdrew his hand to pay.

"Okay, let's buy it as soon as possible."

This is a relatively large market, selling chickens, ducks and geese, as well as shops such as Youfang Sauce Garden.

A few people hurried in and then dispersed. They made an appointment to meet at the entrance of the market after buying.

Jiang Li and Jiang Songshu were the first to go to the grain, oil and rice shop.

There were many people crowded in the shop, and they kept shouting inward on tiptoes to buy food.

Jiang Songshu and Jiang Li saw that the shop was crowded from a distance, so they didn't go forward.

"Uncle Zhang said that the situation in Anzhou is very tense now, and the rebels have started to make small moves, so now Yunzhou City has begun to take more precautions. Several city gates have controlled the people entering and leaving the city two days ago, for fear of someone The rebels came running in."

Jiang Li suddenly looked at Jiang Songshu.

No wonder food prices have risen so much now. The price of a pound of grain has increased by almost half. Japonica rice used to cost seven cents per pound, but now it has risen to ten cents per pound.

The two stood at the door for a while, and people kept walking by, discussing the situation outside the city.

Sure enough, even if the paper can't contain the fire, everyone in the city already knows about it.

After listening to a lot of everyone's discussions and speculations, the two of them concluded that it was time to speed up the search for the cave in the mountain.

In addition, when the time comes, you can start preparing the things you need to enter the mountain.

The two of them started shopping in the city. Considering that it was rare for villagers to go to the city and they often went to the city, the two of them only picked out the urgent purchases.

After shopping around for a while, I only bought two pieces of tung oil cloth, a few oil lamps and candles, and also ordered a few custom-made animal traps.

Just like this, when the two returned to the market gate, they found other people packing up the things they bought.

Seeing Jiang Li and Jiang Songshu coming over, he raised a smile and said, "We bought a bit too much stuff, but don't worry, although the stuff takes up a lot of space, we can carry it later."

Hang something in the back window, carrying it in one hand.

However, after looking around, I realized that neither brother nor sister had bought anything.

Jiang Li asked: "Everyone has bought it, right? Let's go back after buying it!"

Several villagers nodded quickly, tied up the things and carried them to the carriage.

I thought that Jiang Li and the others would be able to buy things, and I had planned to free up a large space for them, but I didn't expect that it didn't come in handy.

In this way, the things purchased by several people can be placed in the carriage without hanging outside the carriage.

But even so, the carriage was just as packed as when it arrived.

The carriage went very quickly back to the village, but the other twenty villagers waited at the pig farm for nearly an hour.

Seeing that they actually went to buy things, someone slapped a few of them and said, "It's true that you are here. We've been waiting here until our necks grow long, and you went to the city to buy things."

A few people didn't expect that everyone hadn't left yet. They were waiting for them here. They felt a little unreasonable and said with a smile: "We didn't expect that you haven't left yet!"

He quickly changed the subject, "How much do you think the wild boars were sold for?"

"Two or three taels of silver?" someone guessed.

Yu Dayang shook his head, looked at the other two mysteriously, smiled and pointed his fingers, "Almost six taels of silver!"

"so much!"

Everyone exclaimed, but after they came to their senses, they looked at each other, "How are we going to divide this money?"

When it comes to dividing money, everyone has their own little thoughts and whispers to express their opinions.

At this moment, Jiang Li and Jiang Songshu said, "Let's share the money equally!"

Everyone looked at each other and was quiet for a while.

Some people are happy, and some are unhappy. The happy ones naturally don’t contribute much, and the unhappy ones are of course those who are at the forefront.

When Jiang Li was about to explain her intention, Lu Quan was the first to stand up and said, "Okay!"

At this moment, everyone shut their mouths.

Because when they encountered the wild boar, Lu Quan was the first one to rush forward, and it was Lu Quan who fatally injured the wild boar. Lu Quan, the person who had done the most credit, had spoken, so no one else dared to have any opinions. .

So, on the spot, Jiang Li distributed the silver she had specially brought back in exchange for copper plates to everyone.

Jiang Songshu, Lu Quan and Zeng Daniu also helped.

Each person received almost two copper coins, a total of one hundred and ninety-eight coins.

After distributing the money and getting the money, even though I was a little unconvinced at first, I now have a smile on my face and go home with the money.

After going to the mountains together this time, the Jiang family, the Zeng family, and Li Ruzhen became a lot closer.

These three families did not leave immediately after receiving the money.

Mr. Jiang greeted them into the pig farm.

The group drank tea leisurely and ate Jiangjia braised vegetables that had been cooled.

Jiang Li and Jiang Songshu took the opportunity to talk about what they heard in the city, "The price of food in the city has increased a lot now, and I'm afraid it will continue to increase. The entrance and exit at the city gate are also much stricter than before."

Usually there is no need to check household registration information, but now I have to stop and check. Fortunately, Zhang Shengrang took it with him when he went out.

Even a few villagers didn't bring them with them, but the Jiang family's carriages often entered the city, and there were few outside merchants coming in and out of the city gate. The guards guarding the city gate all knew the Jiang family's carriages, so they let them go.

"Didn't we say we found four or five caves this time when we entered the mountain? My eldest brother and I discussed it when we came back. Why don't we start to use those caves one after another now."

Jiang Li glanced at Jiang Songshu and saw him nodding in agreement, then looked at the others inquiringly, mainly Lu Quan and Zeng Daniu's opinions.

The two of them pondered for a moment, "Indeed, regardless of how the caves will be allocated at that time, starting preparations now will not delay our allocation at that time. What do you think?"
