Chapter eighty-eighth
Entering the city went smoothly. The city here didn't seem to be a big city, so the investigation was not strict. After President Takagi paid the toll for Li Zhong, Li Zhong entered the city very smoothly.
After entering the city, Li Zhong separated from President Takagi. What he wanted to do next had nothing to do with President Takagi.
At least for now, President Takagi should be a Chamber of Commerce President with a decent character, and Li Zhong doesn't want to involve him.
However, just after they separated from Chairman Takagi, Yi Ti said: "Just find a store and ask about the prices of some goods."
"Huh?" Li Zhong was stunned for a moment, "What's wrong?"
"Silly boy, you are 100% deceived!" Yi Ti said immediately, "The purchasing power of one gold coin is definitely not enough for a family to live for two or three months. The toll alone costs dozens of copper coins. Didn't you notice just now?
The guy who was wearing very shabby clothes before you entered the city had a pile of silver coins on his body. The value of gold coins is definitely not that high."
Li Zhong suddenly frowned, came to a fruit vendor, and asked, "How much does a pound of apples cost you?"
The hawker glanced at Li Zhong: "Five silver coins"
"What nonsense are you talking about here? Five silver coins?" When he heard this price, he knew that he was raising the price from the ground up. Li Zhong immediately frowned and let out a little murderous intent, "How much is it, just shouting out the price here?"
Yes or no?"
The hawker immediately shivered with excitement. Looking at Li Zhong's seemingly exquisite clothes, his voice suddenly dropped: "One...one silver coin is enough."
"One silver coin, right?" Li Zhong maintained his momentum, "How much is this over here?"
Li Zhong was pointing at a very strange-looking fruit, a bit like the Devil Fruit in "One Piece", but obviously it couldn't be a Devil Fruit, otherwise this place would have become a world full of superpowers.
Under the pressure of Li Zhong's power, the vendor said tremblingly: "Five...five silver coins...this is really five silver coins each! This kind of cones ripens only once a year!"
This kind of cones is only the size of a palm, and it is not heavy. It is probably a little lighter than a normal apple. Four or five cones weigh a pound... In other words, a pound of cones costs twenty-five dollars.
silver coins.
But how many silver coins can one gold coin be exchanged for?
You only need to go to a commercial store to change it and try it out.
It was not difficult to find a trading company. Li Zhong randomly found a trading company, found a counter, and said, "Please help me exchange all these gold coins for silver coins."
There was a young lady at the counter. She took the ten gold coins handed over by Li Zhong and said with a professional smile: "Hello, ten gold coins, right? A total of one thousand silver coins. Do you need to put them in a bag?"
"need."
"Five silver coins per purse. Hello, a total of 995 silver coins. There is a handling fee of five silver coins. A total of 990 silver coins. Thank you." The young lady counted out 900 silver coins from the cash box below.
Ninety silver coins, and then he took out a pocket from behind his back, put all the money in it, and handed it to Li Zhong.
After taking the money, Li finally looked through the silver coins. These coins are not the same. There are fifty-denomination coins, ten-denomination coins, and one-denomination silver coins. The one-denomination silver coins are the smallest in size, and the fifty-denomination coins are the smallest.
At the end of the day, Li Zhong felt a little heavy carrying this bag of money.
"It looks like it's not made of pure silver." Li Zhong frowned, "However, based on this calculation, one gold coin can only last a family for half a month at most. This Takagi actually dares to trick me!"
"It's enough to only cheat you so much."
Yi Ti said helplessly: "Is this an obvious thing? After all, I am in business, so I won't lose money no matter what. Besides, you look like a country boy."
Li Zhong's eyes widened, he looked at his outfit, and retorted: "I think...this outfit looks okay."
"It's not about your attire, it's about your temperament." Yi Ti said, "You have to speak with a strong momentum. Don't use your country name. Anyway, as long as you sell the earth dragon skin, you have to use your momentum to suppress it."
Just live with him. As for information, as long as you enter the city, what information can't be obtained? Besides, you should already know what kind of world this is, right?"
Li Dian nodded: "I already know... I already know the general situation, but I'm not too sure about the specific matters. After all, it's a new world."
"It doesn't matter. Don't worry about Takagi. You should have an idea now, right? Get the information you want first, and then tell me. Of course, you also have to tell me what you want to do, and we'll discuss it.
Check the feasibility of your idea."
"learn."
Li Zhong took a bag of money and walked towards a place that looked like a tavern.
In the game, places like taverns are most likely gathering places for all kinds of gossip. Although it may not be true, there is still a lot of information that is not available on the surface.
After arriving at the tavern, the noisy sounds contained a rich flavor of life, and the noisy atmosphere immediately hit Li Zhong in the face!
"As expected of a tavern." Li Zhong couldn't help but sigh, ordered a drink, and then sat there and listened carefully to the news coming from all directions.
The enhanced perception makes Li Zhong very sensitive to everything around him, and countless information is transmitted to Li Zhong's ears.
"Have you heard? General Esdeath has led his troops to pacify the foreign nations in the south!"
"Really? Isn't it just a few months after we launched the army? General Esdeath is still strong."
"It is estimated that it will only take a few months to pacify the foreign ethnic groups in the north. The revolutionary army will be in trouble."
"The revolutionary army has already attacked the southern part of the empire. To be honest, I was still expecting the revolutionary army to overthrow the imperial rule."
"Who wouldn't want to, but they are going well now just because General Esdeath has gone to the south. When General Esdeath comes back, the Revolutionary Army will probably be in trouble."
"The taxes have gone up again this month..."
"..."
After eliminating a large amount of information, Li finally sorted it out and drank the drink in the cup in one gulp!
"Okay, I almost understand the situation."
Yi Ti asked calmly: "So, what are you going to do now?"
"There are two choices, no matter which one, I can get enough training." Li Zhong has already made a decision in his mind, "First, join the Imperial Army. My combat skills should allow me to get a place in the Imperial Army.
, life will definitely not be a problem.”
"Second, joining the revolutionary army and overthrowing the empire's brutal rule is somewhat dangerous, but in fact the safety of both is about the same."
Yiti folded her hands on her chest and nodded: "Which side are you going to join?"
