Chapter 36 Binding Gold Mine



Originally, each person was given two buckets, but as the weather became drier, the number began to slowly decrease.

The price of water for outsiders has increased from one tael of silver to ten taels of silver per bucket.

Moreover, the price changes every day, and it is very likely that tomorrow it will be fifteen taels of silver per barrel.

The only advantage is probably that there is no limit on the number of outsiders.

However, if the water level of this well drops significantly, outsiders may not be able to buy it even if they want to.

So buy water as soon as possible.

As for food, Grandpa Su and Anwu went to all the grain stores in the city.

The prices are all about the same, the people said, and they are the prices set by the county magistrate.

Otherwise, the price of food would have risen so high that it would have become unaffordable.

The price of grain also has two different meanings for locals and outsiders.

It’s cheap for locals, but expensive for outsiders.

A bag of coarse grains costs twenty taels of silver!

As for fine grains, I dare not even think about the price, as it is all priced in gold.

If we hadn't defeated the bandit camp and divided the money, we wouldn't have been able to buy food or drink water when we arrived in Boulder City.

The magistrate of Boulder City is a good man. I heard from people in the city that many places around here are in chaos.

Only Boulder City is still safe. If you go to other places, you will be lucky if you don’t get cheated, not to mention whether you can buy food.

Many people wanted to enter Boulder City, but unfortunately the county magistrate had already issued the order.

You can only enter the Stone City by paying money, and you can stay for as many days as you pay.

If you stay overnight, the price is even more outrageous, fifty taels of silver per person per night!

Many rich people paid large sums of money every day just to live in the city.

Refugees were not allowed to gather outside the city. Those who wanted to enter the city had to queue up, and those who did not want to enter the city had to leave.

This aspect is strictly checked, and anyone who disobeys will be shot dead.

Therefore, the villagers had no way to camp outside the city and could only set up camp far away.

This was probably the situation in the city, and there were no conscripts.

There were many young people on the streets, as well as patrolling police officers, and the order seemed better than usual.

The village chief asked everyone to go back and think about whether each household should go to the city to buy the goods themselves or ask the village to buy them for them.

If we ask the village, the entrance fee for people entering the city will be shared equally by everyone.

Su Nanxing took Gu Jingmo back to the Su family and prepared to start a family meeting.
