Text Volume 4 Sima Snake God_Chapter 346 A Profiteer from Outside
I asked Duan Jingze, "Have you been in Sima Town, do you know that kind of place?" ”
Duan Jingze thought for a while with a calm brow: "Hmm...... How to say this place, it's not orthodox like in our city, but it's almost the same, it's really similar to the ancient kind of kiln, and the common currency of the people here is gold and copper coins, which are issued by the Sima people themselves! ”tqr1
"What do you mean?" I'm a little curious.
Duan Jingze said: "Just like a government, the people and farmers of Sima Town can use some agricultural products or useful things to exchange some currency for the Sima Palace, and then these currencies will naturally circulate in Sima Town, otherwise why do you think the Sima people can feed so many people?" In fact, it was all fed by the townspeople and some nearby mountain people......"
"I see, that's ......" After listening to Duan Jingze's explanation, I realized that currency is a necessary process for the development of civilization, and even in remote places, there will be it.
Just like in ancient times, people "barter" a truth.
At this time, the whole Sima town is still in the bustling of lights, and these residents in strange costumes are setting up stalls and selling on the street.
Most of these people sell weapons, animals, and some of them sell some crops that are common in our rural China, and the more advanced ones are a stall owner, who kills a wild badger, hangs it, and then grills it over some charcoal.
This is probably a simple version of a barbecue stand, right?
On the streets, there are also people from the Sima and cat tribes who are constantly patrolling.
At this time, I noticed that on both sides of the road in Sima Town, there are very small beacons every four or five meters, about two meters high, and it seems that Sima Town uses such beacons to light up Sima Town at night.
Whenever someone from the Sima and the Cat Clan walked past me, I was a little nervous for fear of being discovered, but I was wearing a hat, and they didn't say they wanted to come up and check it.
Duan Jingze was most familiar with Sima Town, he walked in the front, constantly paying attention to the eyes of passers-by around him, and then dodged into a small alley.
Nima's, all wearing hats, no one sees what you look like, do you still need to sneak around a kiln?
Lei Jie and I glanced at each other and followed behind Duan Jingze, who then took off the hat.
Duan Jingze said: "People are ashamed, and the women here are not afraid of someone sweeping pornography, but afraid of being seen by acquaintances." ”
I found the alley not very deep and not very hidden.
There are low mud houses on both sides, and the mud houses are brightly lit, and it may not be very late, so most people in Sima Town have not rested yet.
I vaguely saw a few women standing under the beacon in front of me, all of them veiled, a bit like the clothing style of the Western Regions in ancient times.
At this time, I suddenly remembered a serious question, do we have the common currency of Sima Town? Damn, can't we rob people?
I told Lei Jie about my worries, and Lei Jie groaned for a while and said, "It's all here, go and see it first!" Not really...... Just grab it......"
Hey, I'm going to go from being a thief to a robber?
Duan Jingze had already walked under the two beacon towers in front of him, and the women were all looking at Duan Jingze in a daze, their eyes a little empty.
At this time, Lei Jie and I also took off the hat and walked up.
As soon as we arrived at Duan Jingze's side, a man in a coarse cloth coat walked out of a mud house on the side.
"Dude, what about a night book, or fast food?" The man asked Duan Jingze.
I'm going, this lost deer island is still popular with night packs and fast food?
I saw that although the man was wearing a coarse cloth coat, he was wearing a pair of loose jeans and a very thick dark red belt, and his clothes were very similar to those of modern urbanites, and his accent was also very similar to that of people from Sichuan and Chongqing.
Duan Jingze looked back at me, I took a step forward and asked, "You guys are here...... Is there a ...... named Dosia?"
"Dosiah?" The man shook his head: "No, what, brother, you've been here before?" ”
I coughed twice and said, "No, it's just that I heard from one of my buddies that a beautiful woman named Dosia here has a good job, so I came here to try it!" ”
I said, "If you don't, let's go and ask somewhere else!" ”
"Hey, brother, wait!" The man grabbed me, patted his chest and said, "It's not me bragging, you ask who does this in Sima Town, who doesn't know me Liu Zhijie?" A few of you are waiting for me here, I'm going to ask and bring someone to you!" ”
At this time, I saw Liu Zhijie waving his hand towards the earthen house, and immediately, two shirtless men in leather vests came out of it, Liu Zhijie whispered something in their ears, the two big men nodded, and then they got into the earthen house.
Liu Zhijie walked up with a smile and said, "How many of you ...... Is it someone from Lost Deer Island, or an outsider? ”
Lei Jie said: "You listen to our accent, where do you look like?" ”
Liu Zhijie glanced at the three of us and said, "Absolute outsiders, you are not from Lost Deer Island, right?" ”
I smiled and said, "I think you are not ......."
Liu Zhijie laughed: "Of course I'm not...... I am from Chongqing, I was originally trapped on Lost Deer Island, trying to survive everywhere, until I came to Sima Town, participated in the carnival action of the snake god, our team failed, and I was the only one who survived...... I didn't want to live the life of being full and hungry, so I opened my first ...... in Sima Town. Hehe, you get the idea! ”
"it......," I said with a little depression, "I also said that how could there be such a place in this Sima town?" It turned out that outsiders brought this kind of atmosphere to ......"
Liu Zhijie smiled cheaply: "Brother, ......" said, he patted me on the shoulder: "Don't be surprised, I've been on Lost Deer Island for five years, since I can't get out, then I can only live here, and if I want to live a good life, I have to find a way...... There are business opportunities everywhere, and the small town of Sima is empty, and I just fancy such business opportunities......"
Liu Zhijie said with some pride: "I don't want to get rich, be a rich man, the best life in this Sima town is nothing more than living comfortably and having meat to eat...... You ask these indigenous beauties, who has a little bit of guilt? In this Sima town, you are free to do anything, including...... Murder, robbery ......"
As he spoke, Liu Zhijie's face sank.
