"Why didn't we travel through time?"
Su Jianyue blinked and shook her head again.
"I don't know. I've slept in that bed for four years. Didn't I just discover that I can travel through time?"
Ji Mengqiu suddenly became a little excited.
"Yueyue, let's go to your house tonight and try it out. I've never been to an ancient place before!"
"Forehead!"
Su Jianyue: "Not these days."
"Recently, there have been many people who want to assassinate him. I don't dare to go over there for fear of being accidentally injured!"
Ji Mengqiu: “…”
"Is he such a miserable emperor?"
...
...
Su Jianyue nodded, "It's terrible. I've only known him for a few days. How many times has he been assassinated?"
"Then when it's safe, you'll take me there?"
Su Jianyue nodded, "Of course!"
Ji Mengqiu melted the gold bars and began to purify the gold again step by step.
This process is slow and cumbersome.
Ji Mengqiu, however, was able to be patient and complete the task step by step in an orderly manner.
In the end, the five gold bars turned into a whole lump of gold.
The color and brightness are much better than before.
Ji Mengqiu put the gold nugget on the electronic scale and weighed it again.
4000g of gold, after removing impurities, there is still 2560g left.
"The purification technology in ancient times was not as advanced as it is today. It is already very good to have this number!"
Ji Mengqiu calculated the bill for Su Jianyue based on today's gold recycling price.
"Today, the recycling price of gold is 580 yuan per gram. I will charge you 600 yuan per gram, which is a total of 1,530,600 yuan. I will transfer it directly to your account."
"Just transfer me 1.4 million."
After being busy all night, she couldn't let Ji Mengqiu work in vain.
After all, it’s already twelve o’clock!
Ji Mengqiu didn't like to drag things out, so he transferred the money to Su Jianyue on the spot.
"You must not let anyone else know about the things in your house, understand?"
People who don't know much about the business will be tempted by money.
Those who know the business can see the tricks here at a glance.
She didn't want to see Su Jianyue again in prison and visit her.
Ji Mengqiu locked the purified gold in the safe.
"Come on, I'll take you home now. After that, I have to go back to the old house to find my uncle."
Su Jianyue finally had some ambition and wanted to work hard to get a role.
Her best friend can't hold her back!
"Qiuqiu baby, I love you so much!"
When Su Jianyue acts coquettishly, no one can resist her!
Ji Mengqiu snorted twice.
"Now you say you love me again?"
"I've always loved you!"
Heart!
The carpenter took two days to make the tatami completely.
And they were very considerate and cleaned the dirty floor thoroughly.
Su Jianyue paid them their wages and sent them away.
When I turned around, I saw the yard was packed with people.
The living room and dining room were also filled with goods.
She had completed most of her mission.
Lock the door and leave.
Let’s go to Haicheng to shoot a commercial!
Tianyu, Jing County!
Xiao Yuqi rode at full speed, killing five horses along the way. Finally, on the third night, he arrived at Guangling County, which was the closest to Jing County.
After living in the open air for a few days, Xiao Yuqi decided to find an inn to stay in.
Jing County was originally one of the richest counties in the northern border.
Here you can find the strongest war horses of the Qiang and Rong people, as well as the most exquisite silk and porcelain in the south.
Guangling County is adjacent to Jing County, and it was originally bustling with people and traffic.
However, in the past two months, there has been a severe drought in the northern border. The prefect of Jing County, on whom I don't know, listened to someone's slander and actually did something as foolish as blocking the city gates and interrupting trade.
The city gates were closed for two months.
People from the north can’t get out, and people from the Central Plains can’t get in either.
The people who were most affected, apart from the merchants traveling between the north and the south, were the people of Guangling County.
Most of them would carry the food they grew, or the straw hats, raincoats and other items they made, in baskets to Jingxian every day to sell.
The gates of Jing County were closed, and the number of people here was decreasing.
Xiao Yuqi stood at the door of Yunlai Inn. The inn was empty. Apart from the shopkeeper who was sitting at the counter and taking a nap, there was only a waiter who was so bored that he was swatting flies everywhere.
It's so hard to meet a stranger.
The waiter was extremely excited.
He came to meet me from a distance.
"Sir, please come in. Are you here for a quick meal or to stay overnight?"
Xiao Yuqi threw the whip into Xiao Er's hands.
"Stay in the hotel and serve me some delicious food first. I'm almost starving after walking all the way!"
Xiao Yuqi had a circle of beard on his face, and the corners of his eyes and eyebrows were made up to look different.
Add to that his deliberately rough voice and the way he speaks, which sounds like an uncouth guy.
He really looks like an old veteran who has been through the ups and downs in the world.
The waiter took the whip and responded loudly.
"Okay, boss, get up and work!"
The dozing shopkeeper was awakened by a loud shout.
When the shopkeeper saw the visitor, he was happier than during the Chinese New Year.
"Hey, sir, what would you like to eat?"
The chubby shopkeeper stood up swiftly, pulled off the rag on the waiter's shoulder, and wiped the shiny tables, chairs and benches again.
"Sir, please take a seat."
Xiao Yuqi said: "Make a pot of tea first!"
The shopkeeper looked embarrassed.
"Sir, it's like this. Originally, tea was free if you stayed at our hotel. But now, as you know, water is precious, especially drinking water. Therefore, if you want tea, you have to pay one ounce of silver for a pot of tea."
"A pot of water costs one ounce?"
Xiao Yuqi fully grasped the bearded guest's aura.
He slammed the table and said, "No wonder I didn't see any outsiders when I walked into this town. It's because of you black-hearted bosses that this place has a bad reputation. People don't come here anymore, right?"
"Oh, sir, you have wronged me!"
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly.
"Originally, my inn lived up to its name, with customers flocking in like clouds and the noise of people bustling around. However, ever since the drought hit the northern border and the governor of Jing County ordered the city to be closed, everything has changed!"
The shopkeeper had no place to vent his bitter tears.
"The gates of Jing County have been closed for two months. Even the most patient merchants can't stand spending every day outside the city gates. Seeing that there is no hope here, those wandering merchants have gone elsewhere to find another way to make a living, right?"
The most pitiful are the vendors whose lives and property are locked up here.
It’s not easy to leave, and it’s even more difficult to stay.
I can only suffer here day after day.
We are just waiting for God to have mercy on us and send down a rain of blessings so that the people can have a glimmer of hope!
"With such a great disaster, why didn't the governor of Jing County report it to the court? Or, did he allow the victims to leave the city and fend for themselves, instead of locking them all up in the city and watching them starve to death or die of thirst?"
Maybe it was because a stranger finally came.
The shopkeeper started talking more.
"I heard that..."
