On the street, workers were laying tracks and judging by the posture, they could open the tram in about ten days and half a month.

After a while, Meng Fan found the stall owner, pretended to take out his wallet, took out a coin from it, and asked, "Boss, do you charge pounds here?"

Three cents a bowl of wonton noodles.

Pay in pounds...

The stall owner was stunned for a moment, looked at the image of Queen Elizabeth on the back of the coin, and smiled bitterly:

"Sir, you are not kidding. You can eat a bowl of wonton and use foreign money. We are a small business, so we can't find any."

In this era, Queen Elizabeth has not been born yet. If it is really a pound, she should have printed her grandfather, George V.

In other words, Chinese people have the intention to open their eyes to see the world, but they do not have the opportunity to contact them. Otherwise, they will see through this clumsy trick at a glance.

"Oh, I just came back from abroad and haven't exchanged silver dollars yet." Meng Fan said casually with a kind lie, "Let's do it, I see a pawnshop next to me. I'll give you money after I exchange this gold nugget."

Thumb-sized gold is taken out from the inner bag of the top to verify authenticity.

As the saying goes, wealth will not be exposed.

This little gold is not much more, nor is it less.

Meng Fan has all his skills, but he is not afraid of ulterior motives targeting him.

"Look at what you said, sir, just go."

The middle-aged stall owner lowered his voice and said, "The pawn shop on the street is strange. The scale is wrong. If you believe me, go to the corner of the street. There is a cloth shop that also runs a pawn shop..."

If it weren't for his handsome appearance and his fluent and authentic Mandarin, he wouldn't be like a person who eats free food, the stall owner wouldn't have been relieved to leave alone.

After all, small-buy transactions are profitable, and the current situation is in chaos, and the common people are not having a good life at all.

Thanks to the stall owner, Meng Fan dragged his suitcase, skipped the "regular" pawn shop, and turned to the alley.

The value of something like gold is there, and banks will update the exchange rate every day. It is difficult for the store to do something with it. At most, it is necessary to put the wrong thoughts on the scale.

But can Meng Fan’s perception be arranged?

If someone dares to cheat him, he will suffer heavy bloodshed!

However, the store recommended by the stall owner is indeed fair, directly explaining the exchange rate today, and without taking commissions, the price of the bank will be charged, and they will also be charged.

Gold in troubled times.

The truth is true.

Soon, Meng Fan walked out of the alley with a bag of money, mainly from Longyang, which was supplemented by various copper coins.

After all, Yuan Datou, who was just overthrown in the previous dynasty and was more familiar to later generations, will not issue the first generation next year. Mints in various provinces are limited by technology and funds, so they can only change the original template and issue copper coins—

The dragon pattern is changed to a Jiahe pattern made of rice ears, with two fork flags engraved, and the relevant words are printed, with denominations ranging from five, ten, twenty, one hundred, and two hundred.

In addition, there are small-scale silver hairs.

Anyway, the currency value is extremely complex and the silver content is different. Meng Fan thought it was troublesome, so he simply wanted the best quality, which was the first Qing Dynasty Long Yang, who reached 90.

It's really a centipede who dies without being stiff.

Although the Qing Dynasty was dead, it still had enough influence to attract people. No wonder the master risked his life to escort the zombies of the border royal family for them.

While sighing, Meng Fan walked to the stall owner and took out a copper coin with the words "Five Texts". Before he could put down his bold words, he signaled the stall owner not to look for it. He spoke helplessly at the convenience of speaking:

"Sir, you just came back and may not know anything. If you give new money, you will have to pay thirty cents, and the government stipulates that one cent will be ten cents."

"If you don't believe it, you can ask for any information."

Ten-ciete copper coins = one cent.

One dragon can be exchanged for one hundred and twenty ten-month copper coins. If you eat a bowl of fresh wonton noodles with a lot of weight on the street, you need three ten-month copper coins, which can be converted into an understandable purchasing power, that is...

Meng Fan was too lazy to think about it.

At the beginning of the journey, I ate a bowl of wonton noodles and exchanged it for a considerable amount of money. As a result, I was also very troublesome to the complicated and annoying currency value.

"Let me do this. I haven't returned to China for a long time. I'm not familiar with the place. I'm going to take a train north to Xiangxi. Please accompany you to a station and help you get on and off."

As he said that, Meng Fan took out another shiny Long Yang and said, "After the matter is done, three silver dollars will be settled."

“…”

Qu Shuangxi had never seen such a generous person before. He was stunned for a moment and hesitated: "Are you planning to take the train north? There is no peace along the way.

Some time ago, a wealthy businessman named Ma, with a wide range of hands and eyes, made five commissions of appointments and hired a team of people to escort them to take office in Echeng. As a result, he was robbed by the bandits after he left the city less than 300 miles."

Goose City...

Ma Bond? Master Tang!

This is a really weird hodgepodge world.

Just as she was sighing, the stall owner Qu Shuangxi revealed a helpless fact: "Not to mention whether there are railways in western Hunan, the railway outside Yangcheng alone has been cut off for many festivals. They were either poached and sold for money by thieves, or were stolen by bandits to cast machetes..."

“Where is Horse City?”

This journey lasts thousands of miles, and even if you don’t care about your magic power and use the ground-breaking technique, it will take a long time.

If there is any accident when you run out of mana and physical strength, there is no place to cry.

Anyway, there are still several months left before the agreed time, so I just practice riding and may be able to use it in the future.

Moreover, after learning Taoism, his physical fitness and learning ability have made great progress. Meng Fan was confident that he could quickly master this relatively primitive driving skill.

"You are looking for the right person. Before the previous dynasty perished, you were the son who inherited his father's business and fed horses at the post station.

I dare not say that I can pick a thousand-mile horse at a glance, but it is not much different. Every two hundred miles away, you will find a place on the road to repair the horse's hooves. Not to mention going to western Hunan, it will not be a problem even to the northeast."

After the words came, the stall owner put away the dishes and chopsticks and tables, and called a laborer on the corner of the street. He probably was a familiar person. He said he would send the things home. The man didn't want money, so he carried the things and led the little girl away.

Old houses, sometimes narrow and sometimes spacious streets, sporadic telephone poles, and small western-style buildings.

Along the way, Meng Fan truly felt the time going back. Yangcheng of this era and Hong Kong Island in the 1980s were two completely different styles.

at the same time.

Listening to the turbulent feelings of the family affairs of Old Qu next to him, the veil between him and the times gradually disappeared, and he sighed with him.

It is also a matter of immeasurable merit to seize ghosts and control evil spirits and protecting peace in one place.

Not long after, Qu Shuangxi chose a good horse for Meng Fan in the horse market. To use this guy to put the words of his predecessors:

The bones are large and thick, and the nose is full of breath.

There is no shortage of exchanges!
