1611 The High-priced Dream Shell Girl(1/2)
The two golden melon seeds thrown out by Li Cong were heavier than a gold coin. The store owner was also afraid that Li Cong would suffer a lot if he kept doing things like this after he went out, although he had also heard that many children from rich families just liked it.
It looked grand, but the store owner still felt that it was too wasteful. He took two golden melon seeds from Li Cong, so he felt that he should tell Li Cong. After all, this guy is still very conscientious, otherwise he might be
I won’t be able to sleep. In the past, I only made such a small profit in a month. Now I get it in two days. If I deduct some other expenses, it is equal to my net profit in two or three months. Such a customer is
It is rare to see that if your temporary kindness can be appreciated by Li Cong, you may be able to make more profits in the future. Of course, this is also a little selfish of this guy. Who can be without a little selfishness?
"Sir, is he from some kingdom? He has never been to the empire? Otherwise, why would he not have gold coins on his body? I don't mean anything else. Don't get me wrong, sir. I just feel that it is true that you always use such uncut gold characters.
It's such a disadvantage. According to the laws of the empire, if your gold, sir, is not cut and turned into gold coins, then everything between one tael and one two and five can only be calculated based on one tael. One tael.
Two to five taels or less can only be calculated based on 1.5 taels. In this way, the gentleman will suffer a big loss. It is better to go to the Royal Bank in front to exchange it. Those who operate these exchange businesses there, as long as you give them
Gold, they only charge a 1% handling fee every time to turn it into gold coins. That way, you will lose a lot less." The shopkeeper said while serving the food. He was very careful about propriety. He knew people like Li Cong.
He doesn't like other people's gossip, so he always looks at Li Cong's expression when he talks. If Li Cong is a little bit dissatisfied, he will stop talking immediately. His ability to read people's looks is not just for boasting.
After running a hotel for so many years, he could still tell a lot. Now he could see that Li Cong was not angry at all, but was very confused.
"No, I don't come from some kingdom. My family is a decent family in the imperial capital. I came out purely because I escaped from marriage, so I didn't bring gold coins, but brought a piece of gold. I will change it later.
,Boss, thank you." Li Cong is already very familiar with some information on this planet, so he also knows how to tell this lie. Li Cong is really glad that he read the information. Otherwise, he really doesn't know what to do.
How to answer, you must know that the people of the two empires don't think highly of the people of the kingdom. It would be better for you to solve this identity problem in the future.
"Oh, it turns out that sir is from the Imperial Capital. No wonder, I think he has an indescribably noble temperament." The boss said in a voiceless voice. People from the Imperial Capital are good guys. I thought he was a kid from a rich family, but he didn't expect it.
He is from the imperial capital. He may be the son of a certain official. He has never met such a guest in so many years. The biggest official he has ever met is the petty official in the city lord's palace. Such petty officials are...
He was so arrogant, and I really wanted to pull this guy over to take a good look at the person in front of me. He must be on the same level as the city lord, otherwise how could he make a move to get golden melon seeds? He didn't
I have met the people in the city lord’s family, but I also feel that it is impossible for them to take action against Jin Guazi. “It’s just sir, I see that you don’t know much about outside things. The two of us are not very familiar with each other. Of course,
I won't tell my husband's information to anyone else, but I hope that he won't tell others his information casually in the future, especially how much money he has with him. Although the security in our county is still good, it can't be done anywhere.
It's inside the city, but it's not that good outside the city. There are a lot of city guards patrolling during the day, but no one dares to do anything about it, but it's still very troublesome this night." The shop owner looked around and said,
He was very aware of the security situation outside the city. People came to collect protection fees every night. If he saw a wealthy customer and wanted to blackmail him, he couldn't afford to offend so many of them.
"Thank you, the shopkeeper, for reminding me. I just don't know what kind of procedures I need to go to the Royal Bank soon? I don't have any identity procedures with me. Will this be difficult?" Li Cong thought about the bank on earth.
You have to bring your ID card to do business, and it should be the same here. You can't just let you exchange gold coins so casually. Although if you exchange a few gold coins alone, it won't be a big deal to the entire empire, but if it's too much,
It's not a good thing. This service should be only for domestic people like them. People from outside should not have this treatment. Li Cong only asked this question.
"Yes, this requires identification. It's just an iron piece like this. I guess Mr. has never done such a thing before, so he probably asked his servants to do it. But if Mr. only exchanges a hundred
If it's less than one hundred gold coins, it's fine. If it's less than one hundred gold coins, no procedures are required. Only if it's more than one hundred gold coins, procedures are required. If Mr. has a gold mine at home, more procedures will be required. After all, the empire stipulates
All gold mines belong to the emperor. Even if you dig them out, it is of no use if you cannot provide their source." The shopkeeper told Li Cong everything he knew, and Li Cong thanked him and prepared to go to the city to see it.
You see, but I still didn’t have any change on me, so I simply exchanged it for a hundred silver coins at the boss’s place. The boss’s restaurant could still get this little money out. Even if I didn’t have any change, I could just change it here and there, but
We can't delay this uncle's affairs.
The location of the hotel is still very close to the city gate. At this time, many people have started setting up stalls to sell things on both sides of the city gate. Li Cong knew that the sales outside the city gate were only about half of those inside the city, but entering
The fees paid by the city are really too high, usually one silver coin. Many of the goods they have only cost two or three silver coins. It is obviously not cost-effective to ask them to pay half of the payment for the goods. They don't have such high profits.
Okay. Besides, it would be bad luck if you can't sell it after entering. These things will have to be transported back intact. Then you will have lost a silver coin in vain. Besides, the location at the city gate is very crowded with people.
Not bad. If you're lucky, you can sell everything here in one morning. Of course, you can't rule out being robbed after you sell out. You don't need to worry about it in the city. No one in the city dares to do so.
Those who do it are orders from the city guards. No matter what your status is, as long as you use force in the city, you will be immediately arrested and slapped with twenty boards. If you kill someone, the person in front of you is a wanted criminal.
, it’s not your turn to kill, you still have to pay for it. This is the order of the founding emperor. Of course, if others can’t see it, no one will care. This is also a question of ability.
"Stop, boy, you look like a bitch, so why don't you know how to pay? Don't you know that you have to pay the city fee when entering the city? One silver coin. Seeing as you are a rich man, I'll give you two silver coins."
Li Conggang just walked to the city gate, ready to admire the elegance of the city wall. At the same time, he mentally estimated how many calibers of artillery he would have to use if he were outside the city. Then a guy appeared so discordantly.
, Li Cong took a look. This guy should be a city gate official, damn it. Why is it that everyone else has one silver coin, but I only have two silver coins? In fact, the imperial law does not require the payment of any entry fee. All of this is
It is decided by the chief executive of the county. Generally speaking, those who do not need to pay the city entrance fee are those whose families have a lot of money, and those who need to pay the city entrance fee are naturally those who are not very rich. As for the one in front of me who needs two city entrance fees.
Naturally, the petty officials want to use the little power in their hands to line their own pockets. A silver coin is not much more than a lot of money. There are hundreds of thousands of people entering the city that day. Damn it, the city lord only earns this amount.
You need to have several thousand gold coins every day, which is a lot of money. It seems that if you want to get rich, there is nothing better than collecting city gate fees here, and just stealing money legally.
"Haha, this is no problem, it's just two silver coins, just hand it over." Li Cong smiled and threw out two silver coins. This small amount of money was nothing to Li Cong, but this guy's attitude made Li Cong
Cong was very unhappy. Li Cong knew that there were two groups of people who collected taxes every day. Their group and the group sitting over there were also one group. They collected money and the group over there kept accounts. In the evening
We went to the city lord's palace together to explain. Li Cong took a look at the bag. There were quite a lot of them. Most of them were silver coins, but there were still a few gold coins. When Li Cong put the money in and took it out, there were three gold coins.
It's already in Li Cong's hands. If you want to do this with us, you should be a little greener. This guy smiled at Li Cong. I thought there would be a lot of talk about earning this silver coin, but I didn't expect this guy to actually
He was so sensible that he gave it to himself. He immediately took out a silver coin from the cloth bag. This was his own money, but what he didn't know was that Li Cong took out three gold coins from it. Why didn't he
To think that someone would be so bold as to take even the city lord's money. This boy is destined to be in tragedy. This is 30,000 copper coins, half a year's salary. This boy will not be able to explain this when he goes back at night.
Some accounts have been fined.
Li Cong happily took the three gold coins in his hand and entered the city. He kept playing with the gold coins in his hand along the way. People in the city looked at Li Cong with idiot eyes. Whose rich kid is this?
I don’t know how to keep a check, why do I have so much money? I wonder if this money will bring trouble to me. Li Cong walked less than a few hundred meters, and there were several informants in front of him who took a fancy to Li Cong.
Come on, these people will not attack Li Cong in the city again, and they don't have the courage. There is a city guard team not far away from the city. If they want to cause trouble, they have to keep their heads quiet. If this is
It’s no joke to lose it. These people are sending messages to criminal organizations outside the city. They will take action against Li Cong when he leaves the city. If you don’t eat this kind of money, you will be very sorry for yourself.
The guy in his hand was in trouble. Of course, Li Cong didn't think that he was in danger. He could defeat the robbers on this planet, and it was not in vain. Li Cong looked at the gold nugget in his pocket and followed him.
As the boss said, it would be better to go to the Royal Bank and exchange them for gold coins. The two golden melon seeds he had used his own fingers to pull off. If an expert could tell that, it was better not to take the risk.
I was looking for someone at random and found the Royal Bank. It's a good guy. It occupies half of the street. This is a big company. It's comparable to my own Hua Xia Bank, but this house made of wood looks like
It was so flimsy. After Li Cong entered, he took a look and said, Damn, this service attitude is too bad. Why the hell does no one come to greet him? There are quite a few people inside to handle business, but
But they were all on the other side. On the side where Li Cong came in, there were only two or three bearded people sitting and waiting. The accountant inside was busy calculating accounts, and it didn't look like he was the type to greet people.
"I asked, is there anyone here to greet the guests? Why is there no one here to do business? Where are the waiters, what are they doing?" Li Cong looked for a long time and saw no one, so he had to yell. He didn't want to be the focus of everyone.
Yes, but if we don’t do this, we won’t be able to attract people’s attention. We are very low-key.
"How come you don't know the rules? Is this a place where you can talk? Go over there. That's where business is done. This is where we receive customers with more than ten gold coins. Do you have
A business of ten gold coins?" At this time, a waiter came down from the stairs on one side and said. As soon as Li Cong saw this guy, he knew that this guy was looking down on others, but he was also very good. Otherwise, the hotel's
How could the boss be so flattering to him? Why couldn't this guy's dog eyes see that he was a rich man? This guy looked at me a little strangely.
When had he been regarded as a poor man? Li Cong immediately took out the piece of gold from his clothes and threw it into the guy's arms, "See clearly. This is gold, change it to seven gold coins for me, and give me the rest."
Change it into silver coins and I'll wait for it." Li Cong said arrogantly. At this moment, the waiter was dumbfounded. He dared to believe that the guy who was scolded by him was a well-established person. He was interrupted by someone while he was napping up there just now.
, so this mentality is not very comfortable. Why don't you keep your mouth in check? This offends the noble man. The few people on the seats over there are all here to handle business, but they are all just a few
Among the gold coins, they all handle transfers and so on. Very few of them can take out cash. I didn’t expect this young man to have such a big piece of gold. That piece of gold must be more than a kilogram. That’s more than a dozen people.
As for the gold coins, the way these people looked at Li Cong was completely different from just now.
This guy carefully looked at the gold in his arms. Good guy, this is not an ordinary thing. Whether it is real or fake, he can tell at a glance. Although he is an employee of the Royal Bank,
I usually see a lot of rich people, but the money is not my own. Besides, business with more than ten gold coins can be considered a big customer, but I have never seen any big customer just holding a piece of gold.
When he came in, this guy was obviously not someone he could offend. He should be a big customer of the bank in the future. This guy wanted to go over and give Li Cong a few words to please him with a smile on his face. Li Cong quickly turned around.
Now, if such a person still wants to curry favor with me, go away. I can't bear it. Just handle the business for me. You don't need to do the rest. Seeing Li Cong's attitude, this guy smiled bitterly.
For a moment, this man was offended and ruined.
The two guys next to me also gathered around. They are both businessmen in this city. They have to come over to chat when they meet rich people. Who knows whether they will be useful to others in the future. These two old guys
Li Cong didn't have any objections. Anyway, he needed to find out the news. After fifteen minutes, twelve gold coins were taken out, and the conversation between Li Cong and the two guys ended. The two guys discovered that more than ten minutes had passed.
It seems that I haven't gotten any useful information at all, but this guy has given me all the information. We are usually very smart people, but why is our brain not so good at this moment?
This guy had been fooled. The two of them felt a little embarrassed on their faces. When the guy over there showed it to Li Cong, he also took out a registration form for a major customer. This is necessary, otherwise he might
Lost a big customer, who would have thought that Li Cong went out without even looking at the list, leaving three people looking at it stupidly. Not only does the bank need this big customer's list, but the city lord's palace also needs a copy.
Yes, ten gold coins already count as a great person in this city, and they must be registered. But when this guy wanted to come over and chase him out, Li Cong had already disappeared. How could Li Cong leave a chance for these people?
I asked myself, but word spread from the mouths of these two businessmen that a rich young man came to Kahuan County. He didn't have any coins. He just took a piece of gold to the Royal Bank to exchange for coins.
He looked so arrogant, and the news spread as if he had spread his wings.
Of course, Li Cong didn't know how he became so famous. After Li Cong walked out of the bank, he wanted to see the strength of the local armed forces. This was also a place he needed to investigate. This place was so backward, and he might be a martial arts master.
In that era, if that were the case, there might not be much benefit to be gained from a head-to-head confrontation with martial arts with modern weapons. The Southeast Asian island back then had made him suffer a lot, and Li Cong still remembers that.
Yes, so Li Cong had better test it out. Just after he went out, Li Cong saw a few people wearing city guard uniforms walking towards an alley. It was just these three guys. Look at you guys.
How are you doing as a soldier? I see you are quite tall. You are all Caucasian, similar to Europeans on Earth, but you still have a bit of an Asian appearance. Anyway, they are just a combination, for no reason.
This is not the first time that Li Cong has beaten someone here. It’s just that this time it’s on another planet and he’s really nervous. This is also Li Cong’s first time. Li Cong followed them into the alley. As soon as he entered
He was immediately dumbfounded. The three city guards were still in front of him just now, but if he did it, everyone would probably see him. Because there were people everywhere in the alley, Li Cong looked up. There was a hanging hanging above.
There are two big signs, and it turns out that this is the "Human Market", which is a place where people are bought and sold. It is actually legal to buy and sell people in this place. Damn it, if you come, you can stay in peace, and you can't beat people. Go in and take a look.
"Boss, officer, come and have a look at me. The slaves here are all from the equatorial countries. Although I can't understand what they say, they are very strong. Pulling them back can save livestock.
Yes, the price is not expensive anymore, only one silver coin..." Who said there are no black people on this planet? There are several from the place next to Li, but their skin color is not as dark as the black people on the earth.
To be continued...
