The teacher was not from Zhanggang Village, but his wife's surname was Zhang, and his surname was Wang. Lin Haoming didn't ask what his name was, and Zhang Yu just called him Teacher Wang.
He was said to be a teacher, but in fact he was just an accountant who knew some words. Lin Haoming learned this from Zhang Yu. Before he went to his widowed cousin, Mr. Wang worked for a small nobleman nearby to keep accounts.
Yes, it seemed that they were on the wrong side when the noble's two children inherited the title, so they had to leave. Finally, they took some gold coins to marry Zhang Yu's pretty cousin, and settled down here.
.
There are not many literate people in Zhanggang Village, and Teacher Wang is one of the best. So after coming to Zhanggang Village, he, who could not fish, became a teacher in the village, specializing in teaching children to read and read. This also made Teacher Wang
Became respected in the village.
When Lin Haoming met Teacher Wang for the first time, he was a little disappointed because he didn't get anything useful from him. The only news he got was that if he wanted to find out the situation, he had to go to the Qingfeng City Bookstore seventy miles away.
.
One mile here is not like the one mile that Lin Haoming knew, but is equivalent to one kilometer in the previous life, so seventy miles is not close, it can even be said to be very far, and Zhanggang Village actually belongs to Qingfeng City
The territory of Lord Viscount Qingfeng.
With such news, Lin Haoming naturally planned to visit Qingfeng City, so after waiting for more than ten days, he left with Old Man Zhang's fish convoy.
As many as ten horse-drawn carriages rushed to Qingfeng City amid a large amount of fish. They set out in the morning and arrived at Qingfeng City near dusk.
The city wall of Qingfeng City is not high, only more than ten feet, which is barely enough to stop ordinary people from climbing over it, but the area of the city is quite large.
To enter the city, everyone must pay a copper coin, and gold, silver, and copper are also used as currency here, and they are all made into round coins. One silver coin can be exchanged for twenty copper coins, and one hundred silver coins
It can be exchanged for one gold coin. In addition, there is a currency called copper horn under the copper coin. One copper coin can be exchanged for five copper horns. Lin Haoming has two silver coins on him. These were given to him by Old Man Zhang, and they can be regarded as his hard work in helping on the ship.
remuneration.
From the currency point of view, it shows that the output of silver in this place is still very high. Entering the city, the group quickly arrived at the market.
Someone from the village had already come here first, rented a few shops, and then put all the fish products on the shops for sale. Old man Zhang took the other two carriages to a more central place, where is Qingfeng
The Viscount's residence can even be said to be a castle.
Lin Haoming did not go with Old Man Zhang because he only went there to pay taxes. As a fisherman, he must pay a certain amount of fish as taxes every year. This is the power that all nobles have. Lin Haoming didn't know until he got here.
Lin Haoming stayed at the shop to help sell. Perhaps it was the goods that had just been shipped. Since it was evening, there were many people buying. After dark, he actually sold a cart full of goods. According to the original expectation,
, eight carts of fish took almost five days to sell out, but maybe with luck, the items were sold out at noon on the fifth day. Because the distance was relatively far, they would not go back until the next day. Old Zhang gave Lin Haoming another
Three silver coins.
The bookstore is a place where only rich people or people with status in Qingfeng City go.
Lin Haoming still smelled of fish, and when he walked into the bookstore, many people looked at him with contempt.
Lin Haoming didn't care at all. He just wanted to buy a book and know the general situation of the world.
However, although the quality of the books here is not very good, the prices are really not cheap. I only bought two books for five silver coins.
One was a history book and the other was a geographical miscellany. The history book cost three silver coins and the latter two silver coins. When Lin Haoming returned with the two books, he was already penniless.
After spending nearly a month in the fishing village, Lin Haoming roughly knew the prices of things here. Old man Zhang and his family, with three sons, two grandsons and two granddaughters, spent less than ten gold coins a year. Of course, boats
Going to sea is a matter of the village, which does not require him to pay, but the purchase of some items is still a large expense, and Zhang Yu's six months of study with Teacher Wang only cost five silver coins, of course he needs books
It requires extra money.
Although Lin Haoming can speak the words here, he actually doesn't know many words. However, with his wisdom, it is not difficult to deduce the words here. In fact, it only took a few days for Lin Haoming to read these two books completely.
After reading it, Lin Haoming felt the dullness of the world.
Indeed, as the eleventh floor of Babel Tower, this place is too plain. The known world is called Fengzhou Continent, and this continent is indeed not small. The country I am now in is called Jiang State, and the king’s surname is Jiang.
There were some countries before Jiang State, most of which were named after their monarchs.
The Jiang State is very large, nine thousand miles from north to south and seven thousand miles from east to west. It occupies the southeastern part of the entire Fengzhou Continent. It is considered a big country in the entire Fengzhou Continent. Of course, there is a larger Qin State in the north, which covers the entire Fengzhou Continent.
The real giant of the mainland, its area is several times that of Jiang State, occupying nearly one-third of the entire Fengzhou continent.
Of course, Jiang State and Qin State are not adjacent to each other. There are many small countries embedded in the middle, many of which are supported by the two countries.
If we take the dynasty's struggle for hegemony as an example, the struggle for hegemony in Fengzhou Continent is really exciting. The Great Qin Empire and other countries in Fengzhou Continent are fighting to check and balance each other. One can write wonderful novels one after another, but there is no power. Lin Haoming learned from this history book
There was no sign of strength at all.
Could it be that this is a world of technology? Because from the miscellaneous notes, Lin Haoming only saw some research results in the academy. Although this world is still dominated by cold weapons, there are already artillery and even the cold crystals used in cold storage.
Stone was also researched in the Imperial Laboratory many years ago.
Lin Haoming felt more and more strange about this situation. He vaguely felt that if he wanted to find the source of power in this world, he might have to find the owner of the wisdom here, such as the city of Jiang Guo's academy.
After Lin Haoming determined his goal, it was naturally impossible to stay in the fishing village forever. After a month of final repairs, Lin Haoming said goodbye to Old Man Zhang.
After living in the fishing village for more than two months, Old Man Zhang still had some feelings for Lin Haoming, and even wanted to marry his niece to him. Zhang Yu also regarded Lin Haoming as a big brother, but in the end Lin Haoming left.
