    In the ruined temple, a ragged man with a goatee turned over the grilled fish in his hand, frowned and complained in a low voice: "How come these savages are as smart as monkeys? According to the price they offered, this batch of goods is worth it  Come down, you can get half the furs and silver less than in previous years.¡±

    The man wearing a navy linen riding suit said: "Why don't we let them hang out? I don't believe that these barbarians don't want the goods in our hands. Which frontier merchant's goods are not several times more expensive than ours? They are used to it! Don't you want to buy it?"  purchase!"

    Hearing this, the other three men all nodded in agreement, and then simultaneously turned to look at the gray-haired leader.

    Someone said to the leader: "Brother Zhao, make up your mind."

    At this moment, outside the window of the ruined temple, the seventh prince, who quietly exposed half of his chubby face, stared directly at the grilled fish in Goatee's hand.

    "These people are not playing tricks on us." The gray-haired man didn't notice the movement outside the window at all, and said calmly: "Now our Daqi is at war with the Khitan, and the skins in the hands of various tribes in the frontier fortress were lost a few months ago.  The Khitan plundered them all and used them to make armor. There is not enough goods. Of course, we cannot exchange them this year according to the previous years."

    Goatee was anxious: "What should we do! Are we going to exchange goods with them at such a low price? Not to mention that we can't get our money back, all the suffering we suffered from sleeping rough and transporting goods all the way is in vain!"

    The gray-haired man took a deep breath: "Don't worry, we don't necessarily have to do business with the Jurchen tribe. We can just take the goods and continue to the west to negotiate the price with the Duoke tribe. It is far away from the war-torn areas and is controlled by the Khitans.  Loot less.¡±

    Outside the window, the Seventh Prince swallowed his saliva while watching the grilled fish.

    Appetite allowed him to listen in all directions and see in all directions, and he quickly guessed that this group of people might be businessmen.

    I don¡¯t know how to trade this grilled fish.

    The Seventh Prince usually did not carry any silver with him, and even when he left the palace, the eunuch would follow him to pay the bills.

    Fortunately, this time he was going out to fight, so Concubine Xi was worried and put a few banknotes in his sleeve pocket, in case he needed something to eat that was not available in the army, so she could buy it along the way.

    Concubine Xi didn¡¯t think much about it. She was just worried that her son would be hungry. She never thought that such a big thing would happen during this expedition.

    These banknotes are now in use.

    Although the Seventh Prince has never directly traded with anyone, he heard Xue Yao read some words when he was a child, such as how much a piece of precious fish on his table cost, and how much it should not be wasted.

    With the seventh prince¡¯s memory, it is easy to recall the prices of several types of fish.

    The most expensive species cost only two taels of silver per catty, and no one in ordinary households would eat it. Ordinary fish only cost more than ten cents a piece.

    The Seventh Prince could tell that the grilled fish in Goatee's hand was of a variety worth more than ten cents a piece.

    But the timing of this fish¡¯s appearance made it extremely magnificent in the eyes of the Seventh Prince, worthy of the sky-high price of two taels of silver per pound.

    The seventh prince lowered his head and took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve pocket, and took out the one with the smallest denomination, fifty taels.

    Concubine Xi was afraid that the broken silver would be too heavy and burden her son, so she gave her all these banknotes, no matter how small the face value.

    At this time, the five men in the ruined temple still didn¡¯t notice the child swallowing saliva outside the window, and they were discussing the next phase of the transportation route.

    Soon after, one of the people finally heard footsteps walking outside the door. He turned his head and looked over¡ª¡ª

    The Seventh Prince walked past the gate of the ruined temple with his head held high and graceful.

    Several men were so frightened that they held the handles of their knives.

    Business outside the Great Wall is very profitable, and there are many robbers who are desperate for their lives. Most of the people who do this business are robbers themselves. After they robbed enough capital, they started this business on their own.

    When these businessmen were robbers in the past, they would often follow the caravans quietly to get information.

    But it was strange. When a few men came back to their senses, they found that the figure walking through the door just now seemed very leisurely?

    "This is not like the behavior of a robber and a spy.

    Could it be that the outside was surrounded by robbers, so the spy was so leisurely and contented?

    While the five people were feeling uneasy, the Seventh Prince once again turned around and walked past the door with a leisurely gait.

    Five men: "???"

    Even if we have surrounded them, there is no need to be so arrogant!

    After the seventh prince passed by the temple gate again, his brows were already furrowed¡ª¡ª

    Why don¡¯t these businessmen say hello to His Highness?  Your Highness has already appeared twice.

    The seventh prince¡¯s communication mode is very passive.?  "

    The seventh prince nodded.

    Goatee was overjoyed. Just as he was about to close the deal, the leader on the side immediately raised his hand to stop him.

    "Little brother." The leader said calmly: "This is a frontier, who knows whether your banknote is real or fake? There is no bank account within a hundred miles, so we don't dare to accept it."

    Goatee immediately became anxious and stepped forward to plead: "Brother this young man is wearing cloud brocade. How could the banknote be fake? Even if it is fake, it is only two taels of silver. If you sell him a fish, just sell it to him. How about we sell it to him?"  ¡­¡±

    The gray-haired man glared so hard that he shut up.

    "He said he wanted two taels of silver to buy our fish, but we still have to give him forty-eight taels of silver. If the bank note is fake, will we still only lose two taels of silver?"

    Goatee slapped his head and then he realized what he was doing. He quickly gave a thumbs up and praised his elder brother for his alertness.

    ¡°Perhaps this kid is just pretending to be stupid in these clothes, so he goes around with nothing but nothing?

    Having traveled around the world for so many years, he was almost deceived by a stupid kid. Goatee squinted at the boy and vaguely discovered the problem¡ª¡ª

    This boy has a unique temperament. When he looked at the boy, he seemed to have an instinct in his heart to obey the boy's wishes. It was like witchcraft, and he almost got fooled.

    The seventh prince was about to starve to death: "This bank note is real."

    The man with the gray beard nodded and smiled: "Whether it's true or not, trading real gold and silver is the rule of our frontier merchants. We can't accept silver notes. I'm offended, little brother, please go back."

    "No need to look for it." The seventh prince refused to take back the banknote. He was almost driven crazy by the smell of grilled fish, but the teacher said that scholars, farmers, businessmen and merchants were all common people of Daqi. The prince should care for the people and not take food by force. The seventh prince  It can only show the generosity of the royal family: "I paid fifty taels for this fish."

    "Deal!" This time Goatee no longer gave the leader a chance to obstruct him, and reached out and exchanged the grilled fish for the banknote in the boy's hand.

    The seventh prince took the grilled fish with great excitement, opened his mouth and bit into it. He chewed up the crispy fish bones and swallowed it, but because his throat was too dry, he couldn't swallow it.

    Seeing that the boy failed to swallow several times, the leader stepped forward and stretched out his hand to pat him on the back. Unexpectedly, the boy immediately hid the grilled fish behind his back and stared at him with vigilant eyes and nose like a little wolf.  He even let out a little warning snore.

    The leader smiled: "Don't be afraid, little brother. I'm not trying to steal your fish. I just want to help you because you can't swallow it. Do you want a drink of water?"

    The seventh prince immediately curled his lips and looked at him as if he were a relative.

    The leader immediately asked his men to bring a kettle and hand it to the child.

    The seventh prince picked up the kettle, raised his head and drank heavily.

    The leader tentatively approached: "Young Master, are you separated from your family? Your accent sounds like you are from the capital."

    After receiving the food, the seventh prince took a sip of water and a sip of fish. He was already immersed in happiness and could not communicate.

    The leader waited for him to finish the fish patiently, and then said to him: "If you trust us, young master, come with us. We will be responsible for escorting you back to the capital safely. As long as the master creates a letter, we will give each of our brothers five hundred yuan when you get home."  It¡¯s just a matter of two dollars¡¯ hard work.¡±

    The seventh prince raised his sleeves, licked his lips, narrowed his eyes and told the leader: "I am very powerful, there is no need for an escort."

    The leader thought that this was a rich young man who was ignorant of the world, so he smiled gently and did not hit him. He only said: "But you didn't bring any dry food. We brought all this pickled fish, meat and wine to eat on the road."  , after leaving this desert, we still have to walk a hundred miles to see the grassland. It is difficult to hunt prey. If you want to buy dry food, you have to walk dozens of miles to find someone. No matter how powerful the little brother is, he will die of thirst and starvation here.  "

    Calculating based on Daqi¡¯s commodity prices, this grass carp cost Qizai more than 30,000 yuan, which can be considered the most lavish Erha attack in history.

    Zaizai needs to experience something and understand that people¡¯s hearts are sinister (remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
