"Shopkeeper, this is a glass tea set imported from a foreign country. It's the only one of its kind in the world, not even in the imperial palace. It's a rare commodity, so I'll ask for one thousand taels of silver, isn't it too much?"

Lin Rui pointed at a set of glass tea sets on the counter and shouted to the pawnshop owner, "One can imagine the effect that glass, which is ordinary in modern times, caused when it first appeared in ancient times."

The shopkeeper stared at Lin Rui's tone, and took it in his hands and played with it carefully: "Sir, is this really a tribute from a foreign country?"

Lin Rui nodded: "How could it be fake? Have you ever seen a second set like this in the Great Lin Dynasty?"

Even the knowledgeable shopkeeper shook his head. Unlike others who came to pawn their items, he would raise his eyelids and say: I have seen a lot of good things in the world!

After all, the tea set that this young man brought was something that no one had ever seen before. It was transparent throughout, unlike other colored glass from foreign countries. It felt like jade to the touch, and looked like something used by immortals in heaven.

"Huh?" The shopkeeper suddenly noticed four small characters printed on the bottom of the tea bottle and pointed at them, asking, "What do these mean?"

Lin Rui's mouth twitched as he looked at the "China Telecom" that the shopkeeper pointed at. After all, he had redeemed this set of tea set with his mobile phone points in the business hall, so it made sense that the words "China Telecom" were engraved on it.

But here he had to make it up: "This is the mark of the only workshop in a foreign country that can make this kind of glass tea set. It took several years of polishing to put together this set. You and I may not see the next set in our lifetime!"

Since they were all bragging about the high prices, Lin Rui had to brag to the utmost. He was determined to make a one-time deal and he had to reap all the benefits at once, so that it would be worthwhile for him to travel thousands of miles to Linjing to do this business.

If the pawnshop owner in Longting County had not only been willing to give him two hundred taels of silver, he would not have had to follow the escort agency on a long journey to Linjing in this harsh world.

The owner of the pawnshop in Linjing agreed readily and asked the apprentice to bring the silver note to pay in person.

It's over, I was careless! Lin Rui saw the shopkeeper's generous look and knew that the price he quoted was too low. If he had called out five thousand taels, the deal would have been done at two or three thousand taels at most.

"Hey, boss, please give me nine hundred taels of silver notes and one hundred taels of silver change." Lin Rui said hurriedly. In ancient times, one thousand taels of silver weighed about 70 kilograms. In order to facilitate transportation, the imperial court would melt it into an oval shape, which was also known as the silver winter melon.

He still had to go back to Longting County. If he had the silver, he would probably be robbed and nothing would be left before he even left the imperial city.

The owner of this body was also called Lin Rui. He was originally from Longting County, not far from Linjing. As the youngest and only male in the family, he was spoiled and indulged in the five vices of eating, drinking, gambling, whoring and smoking. He could not stand any hardship. He was not good at farming or studying. He almost emptied the family savings under the name of doing business, but he went to the town to live a life of luxury.

Lin Rui was transported here by his original self after he got extremely drunk. At that time, he was confused by the smell of alcohol on his body. He didn't understand why he woke up in this ancient place that was quaint and could be said to be extremely backward, even though he was sleeping well at home.

In order to prevent anyone from noticing anything, he used the few dozen coins he had left to rent a house in the town and locked him up in it to keep quiet for a few days.

He rubbed his face with a toothache. After reading too many online novels, he finally realized that he was not traveling through a book, but through time and space in a real way!

If you were to travel through a book, there would be a son of destiny like Long Aotian in every world. It would be okay to be a passerby around him as long as you know the plot and avoid danger. But this is a time travel, and it is to a dynasty that has never been recorded in history. It can be described as fictional. This dynasty is called the Da Lin Dynasty.

Do you think this is reasonable?

It's totally unreasonable!

It would be fine if it were a peaceful and prosperous era, but what makes people's scalps tingle is the situation where the dynasty is weak, surrounded by wolves, and chaos is about to break out.

The situation was critical, and the emperor in the imperial city was still living in a trance. Otherwise, why would the pawnshop be willing to spend a huge sum of money to buy such a rare treasure as Lin Rui? Isn't it because the pawnshop followed suit and presented the treasure to the emperor?

Lin Rui, who wandered the streets and teahouses of the town every day, finally pieced together the current situation of the Lin Dynasty from the news he heard, which can be described as a loss of sovereignty and humiliation of the country.

The historical development of the Lin Dynasty almost overlaps with that of the Song Dynasty. However, the era of wealth and glory in Bianliang of the Song Dynasty has passed. The current situation is not much different from the "Jingkang Shame". The treacherous ministers are favored, loyal ministers are killed, and meritorious generals are killed. All the pillars of the court have been killed. The only ones left are Qin Hui and Tong Guan who flatter him.

With these treacherous ministers who talk nonsense and drag the dynasty back, it would be unfair if the dynasty is not over. Now the dynasty is in a state of ceding land and paying compensation to others, but the emperor is a spineless person to the end.

General Feng, who had previously won a victory, was not rewarded as he deserved after returning. Instead, he was attacked by a group of treacherous officials and was eventually executed by slow slicing. He even continued to pay compensation to the defeated enemy country, which completely chilled the hearts of the soldiers.

Now, except for the area around the imperial city, other areas are either occupied by the rebels or controlled by the feudal princes. They fight each other all day long, and their brains are almost beaten out.

According to the latest developments, the alliance attacking Lin from the grassland proposed to take control of the Central Plains and live in the Linjing Palace. They even wanted the Linjing court to provide food and fodder to support them.

This one really hit home and even stepped on the owner's face with his foot.

The court was currently arguing furiously, with many expressing dissenting opinions. The external narrative was that the imperial family's dignity could not be trampled upon, and that even if the royal family perished in battle a hundred times, they would not allow the barbarians to disturb the imperial city.

Lin Rui laughed when he heard this. He didn't believe that the emperor's spinelessness could be cured overnight. Maybe he was just throwing a smokescreen now!

Soldiers were training every day in the martial arts training grounds that were visible to the people of the imperial city. Their fighting spirit was high and coupled with the comfort of the ministers, the people naively believed that the barbarians would definitely not invade the imperial city.

When Lin Rui found out, his brows twitched. He had to escape. He had to escape. Maybe the spineless emperor who was in power had already started a tactical retreat.

Once the barbarians from the grasslands occupied Linchao, the people of the imperial capital would surely be reduced to slaves and slaughtered.

Damn it, what kind of hell is this starting from! Lin Rui cursed the thief heaven in his heart.

The key golden finger is so short, will it work?

When others traveled through time, they either upgraded their systems or brought their own personal space, but his...his 200-square-meter mansion also came along.

It would be fine if he could stay in the mansion forever, but it seems that fate wants him to go through this chaotic world again. His stay in the mansion shall not exceed half an hour, and he will be automatically ejected if he exceeds the time limit.

It is not easy to imagine him working diligently as a corporate slave in a big city and then turning 30 and rising up in anger, selling the shares given by the company and the real estate in the big city for more than 6 million and returning to his hometown in the 18th tier to live peacefully!

It’s not easy to decorate a house and compete with decorators and building materials merchants!

Is it easy to finally move into a 200-square-meter mansion and fill it with all kinds of travel supplies, anti-theft materials and food?
