Early the next morning, Sunan hired a carriage to take six people to Yancheng.

On the way, Sunan, who was sitting together in the carriage, handed Qu Mao a purchase list and the corresponding price range of the goods. After all, he had been away from Yancheng for a long time, and Yancheng had just experienced war, so prices may not be stable yet. Sunan gave him

The prices of all the items on the list are almost the same.

Looking at the prices generally marked with copper coins or silver coins on the purchase list, Qu Mao couldn't help but be a little surprised. It turns out that in addition to gold coins, there is such a huge use space for copper coins and silver coins, and the prices on the purchase list are generally not expensive.

For example, an ordinary kitchen knife only costs between 5 and 10 copper coins.

With this price list, Qu Mao felt more reliable.

At the same time, Su Nan also told Qu Mao that he only needed to pay 50 copper coins to hire this carriage for the entire 5-kilometer journey, and for a tip of 10 copper coins, the carriage driver would be grateful.

Suddenly, Su Nan approached Qu Mao and said, "Sir, never use the backpack function directly in front of anyone."

Qu Mao thought for a while, nodded and said, "You don't let me use the backpack directly, are you worried that my identity as the Chosen One will be exposed?"

Su Nan said: "Sir, yes, those who can use backpacks are either God's Chosen Ones or Heroes. These two types of people will be noticed by caring people when they walk on the road.

Until you are strong enough to protect yourself, my subordinates advise you not to use a backpack as much as possible. No matter if you are considered a chosen one or a hero, we will be in trouble."

Qu Mao nodded. All his attributes were sealed to the lowest value by Birdman, and he didn't have any skills. Naturally, he couldn't be someone else's opponent. Even if there was A Ke, he could only summon him once every three hours, and he could only appear for 0.5 seconds.

bell.

Now that we are far away from our own territory, there is nothing wrong with keeping a low profile.

Sunan reminded Qu Mao to be more generous, so as to be in line with the merchant characteristics of the Mughal Empire.

Before getting off the bus, Qu Mao thought of everything Sunan reminded him and said: "Qu Sheng, you have to prepare a money bag and enough copper coins and silver coins for me, otherwise the secret will still be revealed if you directly turn out gold coins when paying.

.

How is it possible to conjure gold coins out of thin air? People will know I have a backpack as soon as they think about it."

Su Nan patted his head and said: "Oh, sir, I forgot to tell you last night that every inn in Yancheng Port has gold coin exchange business, but there is a 1% handling fee.

My subordinate only exchanged 10 gold coins for silver coins and 1 gold coin for copper coins last night. I will give you a silver coin bag, a copper coin bag and a gold coin bag. The silver coin bag will contain 500 silver coins for you, and the copper coin bag will give you 500 silver coins.

It contains 3,000 copper coins. You can put no more than 10 gold coins in the gold coin bag.

Please try your best to use silver coins for transactions. Silver coins look grand and luxurious, and ordinary merchants can give change."

The carriage stopped outside the south gate of Yancheng, and Qu Mao and others got off.

Yancheng is a coastal commercial city covering an area of ​​about 25 square kilometers, with a permanent population of about 300,000. It mainly opens shops, and there are still a lot of people bustling on the streets.

After walking into Yancheng, Sunan led two first-level sailors, saluted Qu Mao and turned directly into a small alley. Qu Mao, on the other hand, led two first-level sailors and took the painting that Sunan had drawn for him.

Map and follow the main road.

After walking only a few steps, Qu Mao turned into a stationery store and purchased 10 stacks of blank paper, 10 quill pens, 10 writing brushes, 10 bottles of ink, and 5 ink sticks. He and Su Yan squatted in the yard outside the lord's hut, enduring

Qu Mao didn't want to experience the days when he was writing shopping lists on the ground under the scorching sun.

Such a lot of stationery cost less than 5 silver coins in total. Qu Mao asked the sailors to carry the purchased items.

I continued to visit a seed store, selling edible crops such as rice, wheat, sorghum, and many plant seeds that Qu Mao couldn't name. I bought 10 bags of each, 12 types in total, and it only cost 2 silver coins.

arrive.

However, the two sailors accompanying Qu Mao were already carrying handbags on their shoulders and could not lift them.

When Qu Mao was feeling worried, a blond young man pushing a wheelbarrow came forward and asked, "Sir, do you want to use a car? We are available all day long for only 50 coppers."

Qu Mao glanced at the blond young man, then at his unicycle, shook his head and said, "No, your cart is too small and can't fit in it."

Instead of being frustrated, the young man said excitedly: "Sir, I still have a big car, but the price will rise to 80 copper coins a day."

Qu Mao smiled and said: "If you serve well enough, I will give you 1 silver coin! What do you think? Pull out your cart and let me see it."

The blond young man took Qu Mao to an alley a few meters away, and then pulled out a two-wheeled cart that was three meters long and about one meter wide. At the same time, it was surrounded by wooden boards as a shield.

Qu Mao felt that this car should be about the same, so he immediately counted out 20 copper coins and handed it to the blond young man, saying: "Okay, I will hire your car. This is the deposit. When I finish the purchase, you will deliver the goods on the car."

After arriving at the gate of Nancheng, I will give you the remaining balance."

The blond young man took the copper coins, put them in his pocket, and immediately enthusiastically took everything from the two sailors and placed them neatly on the cart.

Qu Mao continued to walk to his destination and ordered 3,000 sets of furniture of various types from the furniture store. He only spent 11 gold coins in total. He took out 1 gold coin as a deposit and asked the merchant to deliver it in the evening of the next day.

Go to Pier 3, otherwise it will be considered a breach of contract by the merchant. The merchant immediately wrote a deposit receipt to Qu Mao with a smile on his face.

When purchasing production tools, the supply of one store was insufficient. Qu Mao was too lazy to find a second store by himself. He repeatedly confirmed that the total supply in Yancheng was sufficient. Then Qu Mao entrusted the first purchaser to purchase it on his behalf. In total, it took only

3 gold coins, Qu Mao only paid 30 silver coins as a deposit.

After these ordinary iron production tools are transported back to Yidao, Qu Mao believes that the production efficiency of the entire Yicun territory will increase dozens of times, and the speed of Yicun's construction will also increase like crazy.

The purchase of daily necessities is cheaper, and the supply is sufficient. There are all kitchen knives, pots, bowls, ladles, and basins. We also entrust a merchant to purchase them on our behalf. The requirements are to deliver them to Yancheng Port Pier 3 before tomorrow evening.

In order to conceal the purpose of his landing, Qu Mao also went to the official sea salt sales point in Yancheng, purchased 10 tons of sea salt, paid a deposit of 1 gold coin, and purchased 10 tons of sea salt at once. At the official sea salt sales point in Yancheng, it seemed that

It's just a very inconspicuous small customer, but it just fits the scale of Qumao, which only has five sea-going ships.

The login items also included the purchase of slaves, so although Qu Mao was very unaccustomed to it, he still purchased two young and beautiful maids in the slave market as a demonstration. These two maids were both good at cooking. After bringing them back, Su Qiaoer could

Get relief from cooking.

The price of a maid is 5 gold coins, which is not particularly expensive.

When Qu Mao was eating at noon, he even called the blond young man to join him, which made the blond young man feel flattered.

In the morning, all the materials in the purchase list given by Su Yan were purchased, but in the afternoon Qu Mao still went to the workshop area to place a series of functional buildings that had been built in the Yicun territory such as the blacksmith shop, the wood workshop, and the tailor shop.

I bought all the tools I need.

I went to a glass shop and bought 1,800 blank glass bottles with a capacity of 10 ml, for a total of 9 copper coins.

Qu Mao's excessive purchase forced the blond young man pulling the cart to call five more good friends to pull their carts to help.

Qu Mao generously promised to pay 30 copper coins to each cart that came to help. After all, their service was only required for less than half a day.

In the evening, Qu Mao did not wait for Sunan outside the south city gate. According to the agreement with Sunan, he hired three carriages to transport all the purchased materials back to the inn, and then waited for Sunan to return.
