Things like Di Bao are very similar to the ‘newspaper’ in Tie Tang’s previous life, but they are different.

Tian Wen was the most curious. Unlike Tie Tang, he had never seen anything new like this before. He squeezed into the crowd like a loach, and everyone took a few steps back unconsciously.

"Give me one!"

The middle-aged man selling newspapers was also shocked when he saw Tian Wen's fierce appearance, but he was merciless in bidding.

"Okay, I'll give you one tael of gold as a favor."

"What the hell? This piece of shit costs me one tael of gold?" Tianwen obviously didn't react.

Too expensive!

It’s not that he has no money, but he doesn’t want to be taken advantage of.

Even though Tianwen is a top-notch person with an extraordinary background and extremely domineering strength, ordinary gold and silver really don't mean much to him.

But gold and silver, as the official currency of the Great Shang Dynasty, are not that simple. There are dedicated officials to maintain this system.

All gold, gold ingots, gold leaves, gold flowers, horseshoe silver, silver nuggets, silver boats, silver mountains, silver, copper coins, knife coins and other currencies circulating in the world today were officially produced by the Great Shang Dynasty.

Regardless of the value, it has a clear imprint, and the runes are anti-counterfeiting. The crime of making counterfeit currency is very serious, and once caught, it is almost a death sentence.

Ordinary people cannot tell the authenticity of currency, but they can go to the local government to verify it on the spot. If they find fake gold or silver, they can get a reward.

With the support of the imperial court, the monetary system will not collapse, because even if others obtain a large amount of gold and silver, it will not be able to circulate in the world without the imprint of the imperial court.

These gold and silver cannot be circulated as currency, but can only be used for refining weapons, elixirs, and forming formations. In fact, they are no different from other fine gold ores.

Only the gold and silver currency produced by the imperial court can be regarded as real 'money' and can continue to circulate in the world.

This kind of real 'money', whether it is Tie Tang or Tian Wen, actually doesn't have much.

On the one hand, they really don’t need it very much, and on the other hand, you can’t get the money just because you want it.

For masters who have entered the witchcraft, gold and silver are the staple food of every human meal and are indispensable.

But not many people will really like it. It is purely for the convenience of worldly travel.

The real ‘currency’ circulated among masters

They are various kinds of 'Shou Yuan Pills' that were officially banned by the Great Shang Dynasty, including incense longevity pills and living creatures longevity pills.

Of course.

Bartering is valid at any level, and no one is exempt. As long as both parties feel that the items are of equal value, they can trade with each other.

If there are no suitable items, the corresponding Shouyuan Dan is needed to fill the price difference.

In this case.

The purchasing power of one tael of gold is not too low. It is enough for a family of four to eat and drink for a month, which is equivalent to a month's salary of a local county police officer.

Even if you go to Fenghuaxueyue Pavilion, you can still have a wonderful night watching all kinds of beauties.

Nowadays, he can only simply buy a Di newspaper. No wonder Tianwen is a little surprised.

The middle-aged man on the carriage was not afraid at all and was confident, "This is the price, do you want to buy it?"

Tianwen wanted to punch him, but thinking about the mission, he still threw a piece of beautifully carved gold leaf over.

"Have two!"

After receiving the money, the man's face suddenly changed and he smiled happily.

"Okay, two copies of the residence newspaper. Here, let's go slowly."

Tianwen took the two thin newspapers from Di, rushed out of the crowd, and returned to Tie Tang.

"Should I say it, the whole thing is pretty decent, and the price of one tael of gold is not too bad."

The Di newspaper in his hand is made of fine white silk. It is as thin as a cicada's wing and is very light, but it is also extremely tough and will not be torn easily.

The text above is hand-written by a calligraphy master, and some of the accompanying pictures are also lifelike, obviously also from the hands of famous artists.

Although what they have is not authentic, it is definitely more than enough for ordinary people to collect.

After giving Tie Tang a copy, Tianwen couldn't wait to check it out.

Most of the records in Di Bao are about what happened in Jiuyao County, not limited to Jiuyao City, but also information about other cities.

All kinds of gossip and gimmicks are very eye-catching, but if you read it carefully, you will find that many of them have not been confirmed, and there are notes at the bottom.

The event that occupies the largest space is undoubtedly that Qingshui County won the first place in the Renxia County and advanced to the Renzhong County Competition. It will soon compete with the eight major counties and cities including Jiuyao City.

It describes in detail everything that happened in Qingshui County's victory all the way and passed the test. There is no fraud, no exaggeration or belittlement. It seems that there is a clear distinction between the importance of the big competition.

At the end of the story.

It also points out the current main combat strength of Qingshui County. Li Qingwan, Lu Zhengqing, Tie Tang, and Long Yu are extremely eye-catching.

The remaining Wu Congyun, Ji Yingzhe, Fang Yuanwu and others also mentioned it.

Tie Tang glanced at it quickly and finished reading the entire article.

"It seems that the person who wrote these things was also in the Jiangshan Sheji Tu on that day. Who is he from Jiuyao City?"

There were not many people from the eight major counties who went to watch the battle. There were only seventy or eighty people in total. On average, there were less than ten people in each county. Tie Tang had already seen them.

As long as we bump into each other again, we will definitely recognize him.

"It's interesting. This is well written. It makes my blood boil. I wish I could go back to when you participated in the competition and watch it on the spot."

In addition to the fact that Qingshui County won first place, the newspaper also highlighted the five most exciting battles.

Among them, the top one

It’s the competition between Tianshan County and Qingshui County in their state of mind.

Tie Tang fought one against two, using the weak to defeat the strong, and fought against the two ninth ranks. In the end, he miraculously won, which is known as the most exciting battle.

Although Tianwen didn't watch it live, he could tell just from what he saw in the newspaper that Tie Tang faced the difficulty that day.

Two ninth-grade geniuses, their cultivation has reached the level of the Great Perfection Witch of the Ninth Level of the Heart of Heaven.

If he were to play by himself, he would be able to remain undefeated at most, but it would be impossible to win.

"Tietou, is the writing on it true?"

"Quite sincere."

"Hiss~ It seems that the Huang family has something. Could it be that other counties and cities also have these things, am I falling behind?"

Tie Tang shook the newspaper and looked at it carefully for a while.

"A piece of this kind of thing costs one tael of gold. Ordinary people can't afford it, but judging from the situation just now

Obviously, many people don't care about this price, and it can even be said that they are used to it.

This can only show that the ordinary people in Jiuyao City have completely affluent lives. They no longer worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, but have begun to enjoy life.

It seems that Qingshui County is still far, far away.”

If we make a comparison, from Jiuyao City to Tianshan City, then to Qingshui City, then to Longyuan City, then to You County, and finally to Yuncheng, which is at the bottom.

Comparing this series of events, Yuncheng was simply reduced to rubbish in seconds.

To be a bit exaggerated, Jiuyao City and Yuncheng are not even under the same sky.

The two cities seem to be two worlds, the gap is too big.

Tian Wen touched his bald head and said in a playful tone, "That's interesting. Some other big cities are far more prosperous than Jiuyao City.

But most of the people there yearn for witchcraft and practice wholeheartedly. The atmosphere is actually very solemn, and they don't pay much attention to ordinary civilians.

But here it is completely different.

You see, although these people have not practiced cultivation, they are all full of energy, have strong bones, and there are not many who are rich.

They are not afraid of these so-called wealthy families, nor are they afraid of masters who have entered the witchcraft, and they dare to yell and curse the families in public.

And the family members didn't care, it seemed that the two were on equal footing.

This situation is actually quite rare.

Maybe I am really behind the times, after all, I have not been to many cities, so maybe things have changed now."

Tie Tang nodded, "The magistrates, county guards and others in Jiuyao City must be experts in official administration to develop this kind of custom.

This is a phenomenon that will naturally occur when development reaches a certain stage, which is enough to show that the foundation of Jiuyao City is very deep and should not be underestimated."

"Oh? You seem to be very optimistic about this prosperous age? But Jiuyao City is only ranked among the people, which shows that they are lacking in witchcraft, and the emergence of geniuses and masters is relatively rare."

"I believe that for ordinary people, today's Jiuyao City is the existence they yearn for more."

Tian Wen didn't know whether he agreed with Tie Tang's opinion, so he said something else, "It's not bad. The county where my Buddhist school is located is also very good. If you have a chance, go and see it."

"Da Leiyin Temple is also in the world of mortals?"

"It's not within the city, but it's close to several cities. It must have had an impact. The court turned a blind eye to us. As long as it doesn't violate the law, it will be business as usual."

Tie Tang thought of various scenes of Buddha, Bodhisattva, Arhat, and King Kong coexisting in the same place, and couldn't help but want to laugh.
