After the big fool gets married

Fortunately, Wujia Village was not far from the county seat. In less than half an hour, the ox cart entered the south gate, and Wu Xuan heaved a sigh of relief.

Wu Xuan quickly gave the fare to two Wen for the fare, and hurriedly fled with Doudou.

Doudou smiled and said, "Brother Xuan, if you don't want to listen to their discussion, next time let's not take the car and come here on foot."

"No, you can't walk for such a long time." Wu Xuan said decisively.

"That……"

"When we have money, charter a car!" Wu Xuan patted his chest, looking rich and powerful.

"Alright." Doudou nodded, "I originally wanted to say that we can walk for a while, and then you will carry me for a while. But you will be too tired."

"Not tired or tired, why didn't I think of it." Wu Xuan was very happy, "Next time I come, I will carry you on my back."

Doudou refused: "I don't want it, it's still more comfortable to take the car." The road to the county town was so long, he couldn't bear Brother Xuan's hard work on carrying him.

"Okay." Wu Xuan was a little disappointed. He looked around and asked, "Doudo, where are we going?"

"Going east, one street is the most prosperous main street in the county, and the money shop is also on this street." Doudou used to come to the needlework shop in the county and was very familiar with the neighborhood.

Qianzhuang is located in the middle of the main street, occupying three whole shopfronts, and the big plaque has the correct word "Qianzhuang" written on it.

"It looks very impressive." However, Wu Xuan was a little worried, "What's the reputation of this bank? Are there any other houses nearby?" There must be an intricate background behind the ability to open a bank in ancient times. Big bully, so public evaluation is very important.

"Aren't all the banks the same?" Doudou wondered, "This one is the largest and the closest, while the others are farther away."

As the two entered the gate of the bank, a middle-aged man in a blue gown greeted him, "What business do you two do?"

Doudou said: "Exchange. Gold for others."

"Please wait a moment, a guest from the gold cabinet has just entered." The middle-aged man handed Doudou a yellow wooden sign with "Jindui No. [-]" written on it.

"Okay." Doudou took the wooden sign and pulled Wu Xuan to sit on the chair outside the golden cabinet.

Wu Xuan was still in a dazed state until he sat on the chair.This is the so-called bank?If it weren't for the people around him wearing ancient costumes, he almost thought he had come to a modern bank.

"Doudou, are all banks like this?" Wu Xuan asked.

Doudou nodded, "All government-run banks are the same."

This bank turned out to be government-run?

Wu Xuan finally realized that this world may be very different from the ancient times he imagined.He suddenly thought of the big mansion of the uncle's house that looked out of place in the village, and the two stone lions at the door that were obviously out of control.

So, in this Dalan country, there are less feudal hierarchy restrictions and more modern institutional systems?Is this remodeled by a modern villager?

It seems that he needs to have a good understanding of the big country he lives in.

The previous guest came out quickly, a young man sent him to the door, turned around and said to Wu Xuan and the two: "Guest No. [-]? Please come in."

Although the name of the gold cabinet is also a counter, it is different from the silver cabinet outside in that it occupies a separate room.

The decoration inside the room is no different from the outside.There was a chair in front of the counter, Doudou walked over and sat down, first handed the wooden sign in, and then said to Wu Xuan: "Brother Xuan, give me the burden."

Although Wu Xuan tried his best to pick out the smallest gold nuggets, they were quite heavy when put together, so he carried them on his back all the way.

A middle-aged man was sitting at the counter. Seeing Doudou handing in five large gold nuggets at once, his face didn't change at all, and he asked in a business-like manner, "Do you want to register your name?"

Doudou replied: "Unregistered." For registration, you need to provide your household registration. Registered bank notes can only be used by you, and you must verify your household registration when using them. They are generally used for large-value asset transactions.Bearer bank notes are commonly used to buy things on weekdays.

The middle-aged man carefully checked the fineness of the gold, cut it up and examined it before putting it into the balance for weighing.After weighing, he said: "Ninety-nine gold, a total of 28 taels. This month's gold and silver exchange rate is 340 to [-], which is equivalent to [-] six taels of silver and [-] Wen. Is it silver notes or silver ingots?"

Doudou nodded: "Thirty silver notes of ten taels, and silver ingots for the rest."

Thirty silver bills are a thick stack when picked up, and it takes a lot of force to stuff them into the purse.The remaining silver ingots, big and small, were stuffed into the bag by Wu Xuan. Such a heavy thing is not suitable for Doudou to carry.

Oh, and there are eighty copper coins, just carry them in your hand.

Coming out of the room of the gold cabinet, Wu Xuan took a special look at the guests in the silver cabinet, and found that most of them were exchanging scattered cash and copper coins for bank notes.There are two other people who are changing the name of the registered bank note.

The Qianzhuang official camp is really different!

With the backing of the national treasury, the people have a high degree of trust in the bank, and they are willing to put gold and silver in the bank for safekeeping.Merchants who often conduct transactions and wealthy people who often consume are also willing to use more convenient banknotes.

Looking at it this way, the silver bills of Dalan Kingdom are almost equivalent to modern bank cards, while the silver ingots and copper coins are equivalent to banknotes.Small silver ingots and copper coins are used for daily purchases, while silver notes are used for large and valuable items.

After leaving the bank, Wu Xuan waved the [-] Wen coins in his hand, and said with great wealth: "Doudo, we are rich! You can buy whatever you want today! Feel free to buy!"

The passer-by next to him looked at him in surprise, then at the jingling copper coin in his hand, sighed and shook his head.Young people nowadays are not ashamed to brag about how much a string of copper coins can buy.

"Thank you Brother Xuan!" Doudou was very supportive, "Let's go charter a car first!"

"Okay!" Wu Xuan readily agreed.As a man who sticks to his word, if he promises to charter a car if he is rich, then he must charter a car!

The cars entering the city were all parked in the carriage alley not far from the city gate, which was where Wu Xuan and the others got off.

When the two passed by, the handlebar style that sent them over was still there.Wu Xuan discussed with him about chartering a car for [-] Wen for an afternoon, and the other party cheerfully agreed.

There are several bullock carts in Wujia Village that run exclusively in the county, and the competition is fierce.Sometimes I can't get any work, and I only earn more than a dozen pennies after running two or three times.Thirty Wen is enough for a whole day, let alone an afternoon.

This handlebar style is called Wu Bei, and it seems to be Wu Cuifen's distant cousin.He said: "You bought something, you can ask the buddy to send it here, and I will show it to you."

"That's fine, thank you Uncle Bei." Wu Xuan said.

"No hard work, no hard work." Wu Bei waved his hands repeatedly.

-

After arranging the car to go back, Wu Xuan and Doudou can go shopping without distraction.

Doudou snapped her fingers and said, "I want to buy needles and threads, scissors, fabrics, cotton, wooden barrels—"

Wu Xuan followed suit and said, "There is still something to eat, pork, chicken, mutton, and beef. Hey, can I buy beef?"

Doudou nodded: "Yes. But we can't finish eating so much meat. Let's wait a few days to buy it in the village." Every five and ten, there is a small market in the north of Wujia Village, and people from nearby villages will Come here, sell home-grown vegetables, and there is a fixed stall that sells pork, and occasionally chicken, duck or other things.

Wu Xuan said that he listened to Doudou, and then continued: "I also want to buy furniture, tables, chairs, benches, cabinets and shelves—"

Doudou shook his head: "We only have one room, where should we put so many things?"

"By the way, there is still a house!" These words reminded Wu Xuan, and he said, "We can't live in that dilapidated house. We need to build a new house and buy bricks and tiles."

"We need to report to Lizheng when we build a new house, and we will tell uncle when we go back." Doudou said, "But it probably won't work now, the beans will be harvested soon, and after harvesting, we will plant wheat, and we will be able to free up manpower when we are done. "

While discussing, the two went to a sewing shop.

The lady proprietress of the shop came out happily when she saw Doudou, "Xiao Doudou, you are here, I haven't seen you for a long time. Hey, this is next to—"

"Lady Ling, this is my husband Wu Xuan." Doudou said.

"Hey, this is Brother Wu Xuan you've been talking about? When did you get married, why didn't you inform me?" Lady Ling looked Wu Xuan up and down carefully several times before reluctantly nodding her head.He looks strong and strong, so he should be able to take care of Doudou.

Doudou said: "I just got married a few days ago. Didn't I bring this here for you to see!"

"You still remember me!" Lady Ling said to Wu Xuan proudly, "Does Doudou often mention me to you?"

Wu Xuan: Not really.

Of course, you can't speak so directly, Wu Xuan had no choice but to say: "Doudou said that she often comes to your shop to buy needles and threads."

Lady Ling was very happy after hearing that, "That's because the ones in my shop are the best! What are you buying today? I'll give you a discount."

Doudou said: "A full set of embroidery needles and scissors, and a roll of thirteen colors of cotton thread." Wu Cuifen confiscated all the needles and threads he used at home, saying that he could not bring the things of Yu's house to Wu Xuan's house. go.

"Wow! Why are you so willing today!" Lady Ling hurried to the shelf behind, "Wait a minute, I'll get it for you right away!" She quickly took out a cloth bag, which contained a set of embroidery tools of various colors, With full color cotton thread.

"The whole set is wrapped. If you are worried, we can open it and have a look." Ling Niangzi untied the cloth bags and checked them one by one. At the same time, she did not forget to recommend, "Do you want to buy some more silk? Newlyweds, of course It should be worn fresher, and the color of the silk thread is more vivid, and it will definitely look good when embroidered on clothes."

Doudou was a little hesitant, it was time to make a decent set of clothes for Brother Xuan, but the silk thread was really too expensive.

Wu Xuan knew what Doudou was thinking when he saw Doudou's expression, and asked directly: "How do you sell the silk thread?"

Lady Ling said: "The silk thread in my shop is spun from silk collected from the south of the Yangtze River. It is definitely the best in the county. It only costs 180 yuan per roll."

180 words?Not expensive!Wu Xuan said decisively: "I bought it! One roll of one color!"

"Oh, you are so generous as a guest!" Lady Ling instantly looked at Wu Xuan very pleasing to her eyes.
