The wonderful life of modern women in ancient times

"Master, everything is ready, we can set off!"

A quarter of an hour later, An San flashed in and reported to Jun Moyue with a fist salute.

"Master, you have just detoxified. It won't be too late to rest for a day before leaving!" Manager Zhou persuaded.

"No need! I feel better than ever before! Doctor Zhou, I'll leave this to you. Continue to secretly purchase food and herbs needed by the army! The more the better!"

After saying that, Jun Moxie strode out of the courtyard gate, jumped up, mounted his horse, waved the whip in his hand, and left in a dashing manner!

An San and others also jumped onto their horses swiftly and followed their master!

Only when he could no longer see his master and his companions did Manager Zhou turn around, pack up, and go to Huichun Hall.

As for Lin Xi, she jumped off the wall and left the yard. She took a stroll on the street in a good mood, thinking about buying some supplies.

Seeing a grain and oil shop, she walked in.

"Hey, young man, what can I do for you?" The waiter saw Lin Xi coming in and greeted him warmly!

"Hey, man, how much salt can you buy at one time?"

Lin Xi thought to herself, she didn't know what the court would be like in the future. She had already asked Jun Moye for 50,000 kilograms of food, which was enough for a long time. She also needed to save some salt! So she asked.

"Brother, the salt production in our Great Xia Dynasty is extremely high, and there is no limit on this!" The young man replied happily! Maybe this is a big customer!

"Oh! In that case, give me 50 kilograms of salt!" Lin Xi was happy when he heard it, and said after some silent calculation.

"Okay! Please wait a moment! I will install it for you right away!"

The boy quickly and skillfully went to pack salt for Lin Xi! There were only ten kilograms of salt left in the store, and it was time to restock. The shopkeeper would definitely praise him!

"Young man, your salt is ready. Do you need anything else?" The waiter greeted Lin Xi more enthusiastically.

"How much is a pound of grain?" Lin Xi remembered what he heard yesterday, that grain might go up in price, so he asked about the price!

"The refined rice is ten cents per pound, and the brown rice is five cents per pound!" the waiter replied.

Seeing Lin Xi raised his eyebrows, he hurriedly said, "Do you think it's too expensive? Hey! The price will go up for the next batch of goods!"

"Why is this?" Lin Xi asked.

"I heard from our boss that the cold weather hit Jin early this year, the grain harvest was poor, and there is a serious food shortage. Many people are starving!" The waiter came up to Lin Xi and whispered.

"What does the Jin Dynasty's food shortage have to do with us? Doesn't it prohibit trade?" Lin Xi asked deliberately.

"Our boss has connections and got the news in advance. They said that the Jin Kingdom was short of food and constantly harassed the people at the border. Some time ago, they even went into the villages to rob food. It would have been fine if they just robbed food, but they actually massacred several villages! They even ate children!"

The young man shuddered when he said this, and continued, "The court sent soldiers to suppress the rebellion, but they were defeated by the Jin soldiers! The entire Guandong Prefecture has been occupied by the Jin soldiers! Oh! The people in Guandong Prefecture are miserable. I heard that the Jin soldiers don't treat them as human beings at all. They will be killed if they are unhappy! The children are even more miserable. The Jin soldiers are simply demons. They roasted the children as prey and ate them!"

After saying this, the young man was so frightened that his face turned pale! The joy of selling a large order of salt just now was gone!

"How far is Guandong Prefecture from here?" Lin Xi asked seriously.

"There is only Guanzhong Prefecture across from Guanxi Prefecture. I don't know exactly how far it is! If you can read, you can go to the bookstore and buy a map to look at."

"Okay, fill me with 50 kilograms of refined rice!"

"Okay, I'll weigh it for you right away!" When the waiter heard that Lin Xi wanted another 50 kilograms of fine rice, he happily went to weigh the rice.

"Young man, this is the rice you wanted, fifty catties of salt, and fifty catties of fine rice. Each is ten cents per catty, a total of one or two taels of silver!" The waiter handed the rice to Lin Xi, calculated on the abacus for a while, and smiled at Lin Xi.

"Here is one tael of silver, please keep it!" Lin Xi took out the silver and handed it to the waiter.

"Okay, take care! Come back after you finish eating!" The waiter smiled and escorted Lin Xi out of the shop.

"Boss, do you have a map?" Lin Xi asked as he walked into a pen and ink shop.

"We only have the general location maps of the various capitals of the Great Xia Dynasty. The detailed maps are military secrets and cannot be sold." The shopkeeper put down the book he was reading, stood up from behind the counter and said.

"How much is one serving?" Lin Xi asked.

"One tael of silver for each one!" The shopkeeper took out a map and handed it to Lin Xi.

So expensive! Looking at the very simple map in his hand, Lin Xi couldn't help but smack his lips!

The map shows the outline of the entire Great Xia Dynasty, as well as the outlines of various prefectures, marking the size of each prefecture and the distance between them. It also marks several major mountain ranges and rivers, and nothing else.

But it's better to have it than nothing! Lin Xi thought to himself. So he said, "Boss, I want this!"

She took out the silver and handed it to the shopkeeper, then put away the map and left the shop.

Thinking that he didn't have a suitable weapon, he looked everywhere for a blacksmith shop and finally found one at the end of the main street.

In the shop, a shirtless, muscular young man was hitting a red-hot piece of iron with a hammer.

"Master, can you use a dagger?" Lin Xi is best at close combat, so the first thing he wanted to get was a dagger.

The man stopped what he was doing and replied in a loud voice: "It can be made into a dagger, but it's a bit expensive!"

"How much?" Lin Xi asked. The price was not a problem. Now that she had money, the important thing was to get all the supplies. Only then would she feel at ease.

"An ordinary dagger, ten taels of silver!" the man replied.

An ordinary ten taels of silver? That means there are some extraordinary ones! Of course the weapon must be good, it is a life-saving thing!

After thinking about it, Lin Xi asked again: "What other price ranges are there?"

"Before, a master brought materials to me and asked me to make two daggers. I tried them and they cut iron like mud! They are the sharpest daggers I have ever seen! Give me 50 taels of silver and both daggers will be yours!"

"Since it belongs to someone else, why are you selling it to me? It won't be any trouble, right?" Lin Xi asked with a deliberate frown. In fact, she was already very tempted.

"Don't worry, young man. There won't be any trouble. This master was unlucky. His whole family was robbed by bandits on their way back from Guanzhong Prefecture. They all lost their lives. These two daggers are now ownerless!" Hanzi patted his chest and guaranteed.

"I want 40 taels of silver!" Lin Xi said with a raised eyebrow.

Hey! You're selling someone else's stuff, and you're selling it at such a high price. How can I not bargain with you? Lin Xi complained in his heart!

"Okay!" the man gritted his teeth and said.

He thought that the dagger had been put away for a long time, and finally someone wanted it, so he would just give it ten taels less. If he couldn't sell it, he wouldn't get a penny, and all his efforts in polishing it would be in vain.
