Chapter 66066 You monster, I was stunned (2)
Wang Lan has also heard of such things in the past. Some monsters will stop caravans passing by the roadside to do business, and some will even pay to buy things.
But I've only heard of it, never encountered it. But she didn't expect that one day this would happen to her.
The Zhou court's attitude towards monsters was actually quite relaxed. After all, monsters were not a threat to the dynasty and they generally would not deliberately attack them.
Monsters without martial arts can't fight against human monks of the same realm just by relying on their magical powers, let alone the army. Moreover, monsters have poor social and organizational skills.
Even if there are some demon cities in some deep mountains and old forests, that's all. Not only is there a small number, but most of them are only at the level of ordinary county towns in human society. Some are not even up to the standard of county towns. At most, they can be regarded as large villages.
As for monsters occasionally robbing and killing passing caravans, to be honest, if you have time to take care of this, you might as well take care of the bandits who pass by and rob the mountain. After all, if the monster intercepts and kills the caravan, if you can communicate with it, it can really let you go at the cost of losing a batch of food.
It's different with the robbers. A little food can't send them away.
Caravans in some places will carry a large amount of food with them in case they encounter monsters. Wang Lan also carried it in the past, although he never encountered it once. But this time, she was in trouble. She had to make room in her cargo ring, so everything was full, leaving no room for food.
In addition, the line between Hedong County and Hexi County has not seen monsters for almost a hundred years, so naturally I did not expect to encounter such a situation when I set out.
But now it’s okay, just like a heavy object will always pick you up and hit your feet when you are not wearing steel-toed work boots. Normally, nothing happens, but it happens to be hit on the day you are not wearing steel-toed work boots.
"Do you want to do business or not?"
Looking at Wang Lan, who was stunned for a long time with his mouth open, but did not say a word, Wang Wu put his hands on his hips and asked.
"Uh, I did it! I did it!!"
Hearing the dissatisfaction in the other person's tone, Wang Lan hurriedly replied, if she didn't answer now, then she would have to go into the other person's stomach to answer.
She had to seize the opportunity to save her life that finally came her way and never let it go.
"I want to buy 10,000 jins. Forget it, I want to buy 5,000 jins of grain." Seeing that the other party agreed, Wang Wudao said, "I want meat, not rice, cured meat or dried meat. I want it to be able to be stored for a long time. If you have it, you can kill it now." You can also get some beef, mutton and pork, two to three hundred pounds.”
"That's all." After saying that, Wang Wu started to pay. Only in the past few days did he realize that the ring could be used even if he was in the transformed state. But he was also very curious. Although he was wearing nothing in this state, where was the ring?
But when I thought about it, he was able to turn his ruined clothes back after the transformation. This kind of thing seemed to be nothing at all.
A gold ingot appeared in Wang Wu's hand. It was not a small gold ingot of one or two, but a bright white gold ingot that was about the same weight as an ordinary gold ingot.
The currency value of this thing is two taels. Although it doesn't look like gold at all, Zhao Xingyue told herself that it was gold and told him not to be stupid enough to use this thing as silver.
Wang Wu was very angry about this and felt that this woman was insulting his intelligence. Even if he had no common sense in life here, he would not be that stupid.
According to the purchasing power of ten coins, it is equal to one dollar in my hometown, three thousand coins is equal to one tael of silver, and one thousand coins is a common currency. Fifty taels of silver are equal to one gold.
In this way, these two taels of gold are equivalent to thirty thousand yuan.
Buying 5,000 kilograms of meat for 30,000 yuan seems a bit fanciful no matter how you look at it, although Wang Wu can indeed do this, after all, he can do it without paying him. If the reporting officer says that the goods have been robbed by monsters in the mountains, the government will not care at all and will only make you feel unlucky. Unless your goods are really valuable and important to the court.
Space equipment is very expensive, and one piece can easily cost gold. This thing is positioned like a truck in this world. There are cheap ones and expensive ones. Cheap trucks cost tens of thousands, and expensive heavy trucks cost over a million.
This thing can be loaded just like a truck, and most business people will have it. Although you can use the monk's Qiankun sleeve, if the monk is not from your own family, sometimes a ring may be a better choice.
Of course, a carriage is obviously a cheaper option. If you hire a few ordinary escorts, the cost of a trip will only be a thousand yuan, and the bulk is still with the escorts.
The horse-drawn carriage is not worth much money at all. One kilometer only earns dozens of hundred cents, about seven or eight yuan, and double the amount on more dangerous sections.
Not all goods need to be transported using space rings, it is completely unnecessary.
Both the Wang family and Li Yuan gave Wang Wu a ring, one with a larger space and one with a smaller space. According to the market price, the one given by Li Yuan costs about six gold, while the one given by the Wang family is slightly more expensive, about twelve gold.
The Wang family is indeed a very kind family, there is one thing to say. Therefore, Wang Wu did not intend to treat them badly.
"This is just a deposit, take it." Wang Wu said, then threw the platinum ingot in his hand towards Wang Lan and looked at the people who had gathered behind her.
"Where is your carriage? Where is your cargo?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
After taking a look, Wang Wu didn't see any scattered goods or carriages on their way here. It was impossible for them to be swallowed whole by the monster.
Speaking of monsters, Wang Wu immediately took off after thinking of this, walked to the corpse of the monster, took out a magic elixir from the skeleton and put it into the ring. Then returned to Wang Lan.
"Why didn't I see your carriage?" Wang Wu asked? But before Wang Lan could answer, Wang Wu noticed the ring on the other person's finger, "Inside your ring? What kind of goods are there now?"
"Um, this, this..." was asked the most fatal question in an instant. Wang Lan, who was holding the gold ingot given by Wang Wu in his hand, didn't know what to say for a moment.
After all, this was her first time dealing with monsters.
"With this food, of course it's not a problem." However, Wang Lan has always been quick-witted, so he reacted quickly, with a warm businessman's smile on his face, "But..."
"Isn't it possible that what you are transporting is not food?" Wang Wu didn't even have to think about it and interrupted directly. The things that can be transported with the space ring are obviously not food. This thing can be pulled by a carriage.
It's not like he hasn't peeped at the caravans on the roadside in the past few months. All the carriages hauling them were either fur goods or large bags of grain and dry goods. There are even cold chain transport carriages in this world, used to transport fresh meat.
"It doesn't matter." Wang Lan, who was breaking out in cold sweat and was about to say something more, said Wang Wudao:
"That's why I gave you the deposit. Don't worry, I'm a very kind monster and won't harm you. I can even escort you all the way to your destination. Of course, I won't get too close to you and the county. Since Protecting you also protects me.”
"If you are willing to believe me, we can be on our way now. I just need you to return to the city and send me a batch of food, and I will pay the remaining payment."
