Chapter 13 Obtaining Information
On the new day, the gate of Guihua City opened at 6 a.m. As usual, the caravans waiting outside the city gate lined up a long queue, waiting to enter the city.
"Tom, thank you for bringing me to this Xia Guoling Commercial City. I will go into the city first." Jerry said goodbye to the owner of the small caravan lined up to enter the city.
Tom laughed and waved his hand indifferently, "Jerry, no need to thank you. Anyway, I want to come to this Guihua City, old man, and it's nothing to take you along the way."
It’s not that Tom has nothing, but that Jerry gave the money, otherwise who would pay attention to him would not be kind enough to help a stranger he didn’t know.
"Okay, then I'll enter the city from there. When I meet you after entering the city, I'll treat you to a drink." Jerry greeted Tom at the side door on the other side of the city wall, and then entered the planning city from the side door dedicated to pedestrians.
Jerry was a spy in the Baxter territory. He rushed to Nanshan City and spent nearly a month to arrive at Nanshan City, and then he joined a small caravan to Guihua City in Nanshan City.
He was responsible for collecting information about the sudden emergence of the trade city. As for the caravans in the Baxter Territory, because the goal was too big and they were difficult to move, they became divided into two waves before Nanshan City.
Yibo is doing business as usual, Yibo is like Jerry, and is responsible for inquiring about information.
What Jerry didn't know was that although Tom was the boss of a caravan, his other identity was a spy from Nanshan Territory.
Intelligence personnel of two forces meet and do not know each other because of their common goals. The world is so wonderful, or so inevitable.
From the day when the trade was opened in Guihua City, the city was destined to be not that simple. It will be full of all kinds of people who are curious about the Xia Kingdom. It is either for wealth, prosperity, or for others.
Jerry was curious about the walls of this commercial city, the city of Guihua City, since entering the city. Its completely different styles are essentially different from the walls of other territories.
The buildings he saw after entering the city were even more dazzling. The tiles on the roof, the eaves and brackets, square doors and windows, and exquisite carvings and decorations...
Even the streets, which have always been synonymous with dirty and messy, have become wider and cleaner in this city, even cleaner than his room in his hometown.
This made him have only one feeling of the first impression of this city, that is, it was neatness!
Not only is the street clean and neat, but even the buildings on both sides of the street are neatly arranged, without a trace of arc from a distance.
Such a city made Jerry very uncomfortable. For people like him who live in a dark world, such a city and his nature were simply a conflict, which made him have the idea that people like him should not come to this city from the bottom of his heart.
Jerry took two deep breaths, adjusted his mindset, circled his head, looked around to see if there was anything worth noting to him.
But then he was stunned, because there were places everywhere that attracted his attention, and there were too many things that could attract his attention, and he didn't know where to start.
"Hey, let's find a place to live first, then there will be a place to eat, and finally there should be a tavern, and there should be some gains in places like markets." Jerry stood by the street and quickly made a simple plan.
But when he asked passers-by to find the place called "Inn" where he stayed, he was stunned again. Because there were no empty rooms, he had to continue looking for it.
It was not until night fell that he found some tents that could be lived in the gap in the distance. These tents were built by a caravan renting an open space that had not been developed. It was because there were too many people like Jerry, which allowed the caravan members to see business opportunities.
Jerry spent a considerable price to move into a tent, and when he paid, he found the first information to bring his attention.
That is, this city cannot use copper coins and securities outside, but can only use a kind of banknote from Xia Kingdom. Even if it is gold coins, it is best to exchange them for banknotes so that the shops in this city can do business with you.
If the people from this caravan didn't see Jerry looking exhausted, he wouldn't have accepted a large handful of copper coins.
"How can the businessmen in this city do business? Are you not afraid that no one will come?" When Jerry was paying, Ban complained and asked the businessmen who collected the money.
But the businessman's question made him speechless: "Aren't you here?"
Yes, as long as there are business opportunities, interests, and the existence of Xia Kingdom, the city is destined to become prosperous.
After figuring out these things, Jerry took out his only gold coin and thought about going to the money shop the merchant told him tomorrow to see what Xia Guo’s banknotes look like.
Unconsciously, Jerry quickly entered a state of sleep surrounded by many problems, and he was really tired.
Early the next morning, Jerry left the tent and went to the money house at the city gate with a sore body, preparing to exchange gold coins for some banknotes.
On the way to go, Jerry asked several shops and got the same information as the merchant told him. These shops only collected paper money from Xia Kingdom, and even gold coins.
There was no choice but to continue to go to the money shop to exchange banknotes, because when he asked the store, he saw a few items that made him excited, so he could only exchange banknotes.
When he arrived at the money shop, he saw many people waiting in the hall and did not queue up. After asking, he found out that there was no need to queue up in this place, but he had to queue up, and a number was used to represent the order of sequence - this is another novel place.
After waiting for more than a day, he finally waited for his number and came to the counter where he called the number in his hand.
"Hello, what business do you need to handle?" The young lady behind the window asked him with a smile.
Jerry looked at the obvious Xia people behind the counter, took out the gold coin in his arms, and handed it in from the small hole on the counter: "Hello, I want to exchange it for banknotes."
"Okay, please wait." The young lady was already proficient in this business and could not be proficient in it. She quickly checked the gold coins and asked again: "Do you need change?"
Because a gold coin can be exchanged for two taels of Xia Country banknotes, one tael is of high value, which is a thousand quota, and you can buy a thousand big snow-white steamed buns.
Jerry was not waiting in vain. While waiting, he learned various information about the banknotes from the instructions posted on the side. For example, the avatar on each banknote is the monarch of Xia Guoling. The granary, silk, machines, etc. on the back of the banknotes are also things that Xia Guo owns.
Therefore, Jerry replied decisively: "You need one or two banknotes, and ten banknotes per monday."
"Okay." The young lady at the counter agreed and soon handed him a stack of banknotes from the small hole in the window.
Jerry followed the illustration and tapped the banknote in his hand. After seeing that there was nothing wrong, he turned around and left the bank.
As for counterfeit paper money? Yang Song didn’t know that there was a thing called “paper” in this world. Some of them were only a very expensive animal sculpting paper, let alone the professional printed patterns, which made people know at a glance that this thing was not so easy to counterfeit.
After obtaining the funds, Jerry began to collect intelligence in Naturalized City. The task assigned to him by his superiors was quickly completed, which was much simpler than he thought.
Regarding Xia Guo’s domestic management issues, I asked directly, no one told him, but there was a saying that money could make the devil push. Although he didn’t know this, it would not prevent him from using this method.
Jerry spent a lot of summer coins and invited a familiar "down-and-out" Xia people to drink several times. At first, the other party refused to say it, but in the end, Jerry gave the other party three coins of summer coins. The other party "really" could not stand the temptation, so he told Jerry about the "county system".
After obtaining the information of the "county system", he was as if he had a treasure. Jerry was afraid that the other party would come to cause trouble for him. He closed the city gate that night and left Guihua City, and the caravan that found his own territory the next day, embarked on the way back.
These "down-and-out" Xia people are all professional intelligence personnel, waiting for those in need here.
Although the staff of other stores are not professional intelligence personnel, they are also trained to know what to say and what not to say. This is a major plan related to Xia State and is unscrupulous.
While letting the information be disclosed in a suitable way, the other party cannot know that it was Xia Guo who did it on purpose.
This series of operations is detailed to every detail, and we will do our best to ensure that the forces outside the pass can complete the Xia Kingdom's plan!
