Chapter 3071 The World of the Wizard (II)
The teacher is not from Zhanggang Village, but his wife's surname is Zhang, and his surname is Wang. Finally, Lin Haoming didn't ask what she called, and Zhang Yu just called him Teacher Wang.
It was said that he was a teacher, but in fact he only knew some of the accountants. This was what Lin Haoming knew from Zhang Yu. Before going to his widow's cousin, Teacher Wang was a small nobleman nearby who kept the accounts. Later, it seemed that because he had to leave the wrong team when the two children of the noble inherited the title, he had to leave. Finally, he brought some gold coins to marry Zhang Yu's pretty cousin, so he settled down here.
There are not many people who can read literacy in Zhanggang Village, and Teacher Wang is the best among them. Therefore, after coming to Zhanggang Village, he did not know how to catch fish and became a teacher in the village, specializing in teaching children to read and recognize words. This also made Teacher Wang more respected in the village.
When Lin Haoming first met this Teacher Wang, he was a little disappointed because he didn't get anything useful from him. The only news he got was that if he wanted to inquire about the situation, he had to go to Qingfengcheng Bookstore 70 miles away.
The mile here is not like the mile that Lin Haoming knew, but is equivalent to one kilometer in his previous life, so the mile is not close, and it can even be said to be very far away. Zhanggang Village is actually the territory of the Viscount Qingfeng in Qingfeng City.
With such news, Lin Haoming naturally planned to go to Qingfeng City to take a look, so after waiting for more than ten days, he followed the convoy of Old Man Zhang selling fish goods.
As many as ten carriages hit a large number of fish and went to Qingfeng City. They set out in the morning and arrived in Qingfeng City when it was approaching evening.
The walls of this Qingfeng City are not high, only more than ten feet tall, and can barely stop ordinary people from climbing over, but the area of the city is very large.
To enter the city, everyone must pay a copper coin. The three metals of gold, silver and copper are used as currencies, and they are all made into round coins. One of the silver coins can be exchanged for twenty copper coins, and one hundred silver coins can be exchanged for one gold coins. In addition, there is a copper coin below the copper coins. One copper coin is exchanged for five copper coin. Lin Haoming has two silver coins on his body. This was given to him by Old Man Zhang, and it can be regarded as the reward for his hard work on the ship before.
From a currency perspective, it means that the output of silver in this place is still very high. When you enter the city, the group will soon arrive at the market.
Someone in the village had already come here first, rented a few shops, and then placed all the fish in the shops to sell them. Old Man Zhang took two other carriages to a more central place, which was Viscount Qingfeng's mansion, or even a castle.
Lin Haoming did not follow Old Man Zhang because he only paid taxes. As a fisherman, he had to pay a certain amount of fish goods as taxes every year. This is the power owned by all nobles, and Lin Haoming only found out when he got here.
Lin Haoming stayed at the shop and helped sell it. Perhaps it was the goods that had just been shipped. In addition, it happened to be evening, and many people bought it. After dark, they actually sold a truck of goods. According to the original expectation, eight trucks of fish can be sold out in almost five days, but maybe they were lucky. The goods were sold out at noon on the fifth day. Because the distance was relatively far, they would go back the next day. Old Man Zhang gave Lin Haoming three silver coins.
Bookstores are places where only rich or qualified people in Qingfeng City will go.
Lin Haoming still had a fishy smell on his body. When he walked into the bookstore, many people cast contemptuous eyes at him.
Lin Haoming didn't care about this at all. He just wanted to buy a book and wanted to know the general situation of this world.
However, although the quality of the books here is not very good, the price is really not cheap. In the end, I only bought two books for five silver coins.
One is a history book, the other is a geography miscellaneous note, three silver coins in history books, and the latter two silver coins. When Lin Haoming brought back two books, he was already penniless.
There was nearly a month in the fishing village, and Lin Haoming roughly knew the price of things here, such as Old Man Zhang’s family, three sons, two grandsons and two granddaughters. The whole family spent less than ten gold coins a year. Of course, the boat’s going to sea was a matter of the village, so he didn’t need to pay for it, but the purchase of some items was still a large expense. Zhang Yu’s half a year of study with Teacher Wang was only five silver coins. Of course, he needed extra money to pay for books.
Although Lin Haoming already knows what he says here, he actually doesn't know many words. However, with his wisdom, deducing the words here is not difficult. In fact, it only took a few days to fully read these two books. After reading them, Lin Haoming actually made Lin Haoming feel the dullness of this world.
Indeed, as the eleventh floor of the Tower of Heaven, it is too dull. The known world name is Fengzhou Continent, and this continent is indeed not small. Now the country where you are located is Jiang State, and the king's surname is Jiang, and the king's surname is Jiang. Before Jiang State, there were some countries, most of which were named after the king's surname.
The Jiang Kingdom is very big, nine thousand miles north and south, and seven thousand miles east and west, occupying the southeast of the entire Fengzhou continent. It is considered a big country in the entire Fengzhou continent. Of course, there is a larger Qin Kingdom in the north, which is the real giant of the entire Fengzhou continent. Its area is several times that of the Jiang Kingdom, and it accounts for nearly one-third of the entire Fengzhou continent.
Of course, Jiang and Qin are not bordered by each other. There are many small countries embedded in them, and many small countries are supported by the two countries.
If we talk about the dynasty's battle for hegemony, the battle for hegemony in Fengzhou was really exciting. The Qin Empire and other countries in Fengzhou were fighting and checking and balancing each other, and they could write one wonderful novel after another, but without power, Lin Haoming did not find any sign of power in this historical book.
Could this be a world of science and technology? Because Lin Haoming saw only some research results from the academy from the miscellaneous notes. Although this world is still dominated by cold weapons, there are artillery, and even the cold crystal stones used in the cold storage were studied many years ago in the Empire Laboratory.
Lin Haoming was even more and more surprised by this situation. He vaguely felt that if he wanted to find the source of power in this world, he might have to find the owner of wisdom here, such as the city of Jiang Guo’s academic institutions.
After Lin Haoming determined his goal, it was naturally impossible for him to stay in the fishing village. After the last month of repair, Lin Haoming said goodbye to Old Man Zhang.
