"Yi'er, be careful when you go into the city!"
Han Wen'an gave one last piece of advice.
"Understood, Father!"
Han Yi quickly replied, "I'm already thirteen years old, don't worry!"
Watching Han Yi head towards Dongning City, Han Wen'an glanced at him a few more times, still a little worried, before taking his tools and heading towards the village entrance.
During this time, Han Wen'an followed government officials to dig dugouts in the neighboring districts.
One liter of rice and ten coins a day. Although the amount of money and food is not much, one liter of rice is enough for two people to eat, with a little left over.
Ten coins, after being saved for a few days, could buy some daily necessities.
This time, Han Yi was sent into the city to purchase some items.
It's already late summer, and autumn is just around the corner.
After arriving in Dongning City, Han Wen'an knew that winter came early here, so he needed to purchase some tools as soon as possible to start clearing the land.
Otherwise we'll go hungry again next year.
Han Wen'an took a deep breath and followed the group away.
...
Han Yi also left the Third Community of the Twelfth District and headed towards Dongning City.
Dongning City is very large, so large that the towering watchtowers can be seen from a great distance.
After walking for more than half an hour, Han Yi arrived outside Dongning City.
As soon as Han Yi approached Dongning City, he was captivated by the scene before him.
On the drill ground in the east of the city, soldiers of the Prince's Guard, dressed in blue-green military uniforms, stood ramrod straight under the sun.
Everyone was perfectly still and perfectly aligned.
No matter how scorching the sun was and how much sweat poured down their backs, they remained unmoved.
After an unknown amount of time, Han Yi finally heard an officer whisper, "At ease!"
Only then did the soldiers on the training ground relax, but they still didn't move much.
"You all performed very well today; everyone's military posture was excellent!"
The officer continued, "Everyone, extra lunch! One egg per person! Dismissed!"
After being dismissed, the soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief.
An egg?
Han Yi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered the treatment for recruiting new soldiers: food and lodging provided, two strings of cash per month, and ten catties of meat.
With such good benefits, it would be great to join the army!
Oh, right!
father!
Go back and talk to him!
Thinking it over, Han Yi turned and headed into the city.
"Hello, ma'am, could you tell me how to get to Qingyu Trading Company?"
After entering the city, Han Yi went straight to an older woman and asked her a question.
"Young man, just walk a little further along this street, and you'll arrive."
The older woman replied.
Thank you.
Han Yi thanked him and walked forward.
Not far away, Han Yi saw a huge sign with the words "Qingyu Trading Company" written on it.
Just from the outside, you can see a large crowd of people, all seemingly buying supplies.
After entering, Han Yi went to the farm tool area and looked at the surrounding furnishings.
After thinking about his father's instructions, Han Yi chose a hoe, a pickaxe, a rake, two sickles, and an axe.
To Han Yi's surprise, all of these items had clear price tags on them.
A rough calculation showed that it would cost 1,320 coins. The money I brought wasn't enough, so it seemed I wouldn't be able to buy that much this time.
He selected some items necessary for clearing the land and was about to pay when he saw a curved plow displayed nearby.
A complete set of curved plows costs 888 coins.
Han Yi looked at the money in his pocket and shook his head.
"Young man, don't you have enough money?"
At this moment, a sales assistant came to Han Yi's side and said with a smile, "If you don't have enough money, you can apply for an interest-free loan."
The Prince's Palace provided a loan free of charge to purchase these farm tools.
As long as you can pay off the loan within a year, that's fine.
"Yeah?"
Han Yi's eyes widened as he suddenly remembered what the old man had said when they first arrived at the Third Community of the Twelfth District.
After a moment, the light in Han Yi's eyes faded, and he asked, "If I want a loan, what do I need to do?"
"It's very simple,"
The sales assistant smiled and explained, "Does someone in your family work?"
"Um!"
Han Yi nodded.
"As long as it's for the Prince's Mansion, you just need to register your parents' information."
The sales assistant asked, "Which district are you from?"
We can send someone to deliver the purchased items.
"Really?"
Han Yi's eyes widened, and he quickly said, "We are from the Third Community of the Twelfth District of Dongning Prefecture."
After the sales assistant made a note, Han Yi selected some farm tools and instructed the sales assistant to deliver them in the evening if possible.
After leaving Qingyu Trading Company, Han Yi touched the money in his pocket.
This time, I didn't spend much money at Qingyu Trading Company; most of the purchases were made with interest-free loans.
With the remaining money, we can buy something else.
What should I buy?
Just then, Han Yi arrived outside a bookstore.
Looking at the bookstore, Han Yi hesitated for a moment before stepping inside.
"Young man, what kind of books would you like to buy?"
A sales assistant approached us warmly.
"I……"
Han Yi hesitated for a moment, then said, "I'll just take a look."
Han Yi was stunned as he looked at the books in the store.
This bookstore is different from the bookstores in Jiangning City and Hongze Prefecture.
The books in the bookstore, judging from their names alone, were unlike anything I had ever encountered before.
What subjects are included: Chinese Language and Literature, Algebra, Geometry, Natural Sciences, Physics, and Chemistry?
What kinds of books are these?
