Chapter 15 Identifying Problems
The three of them, as well as 300 riders and chopped farmers, became big business households, completed the main task that Wang Baobao called [Survival System], and received a reward of 30 survival points. From this point of view, it is indeed much more rewarded than waiting for the one survival point you get after every day.
According to Wang Baobao, side missions must be more rewards than main missions. Many games are like this routine.
The father Wang Yansheng and mother Li Huixian roughly understood their son's words, but they did not go into delving into anything, after all, there was a generation gap.
If it were a young man, he would definitely study this [survival system] in depth.
After leaving the county government office, Wang Yansheng took everyone to find places to sell ginseng and mountain products.
In order to sell for a good price, he certainly knew that he was looking for the right person.
Pawnshops or something will definitely not work.
What else can you sell for "worms eat rats and bite them, and the plates are hairless"?
Therefore, mountain goods have to find grocery shops or merchants who specialize in collecting these things.
Needless to say, ginseng must be a medicinal shop.
A group of more than 300 people walked in Changbai County, which was really eye-catching.
But since 300 riders cut off farmers and a family of three, there is nothing strange about their clothing, they are just eye-catching and not alternative.
But even so, Wang Yansheng's short hair made people look at it twice.
Along the way, by asking pedestrians for directions, I successfully found several medicinal shops. After some inquiries, I finally locked in one and successfully sold the shriveled ginseng.
This ginseng is not as valuable as imagined, because it is not many years ago.
180 taels of silver is the price of sale.
The delicacies collected by the farmers on the way out of the mountain, as well as tiger skins, bear paws, wolf skins, etc., were sold for 83 taels of silver.
In this way, Wang Yansheng's family of three can be considered to have sufficient funds in hand at this stage.
Of course, it is impossible to buy the 30-plus dollars of this money.
So, what is the purchasing power of silver in this place?
Since the wasteland could no longer be afforded, Wang Yansheng and his wife decided not to worry about this matter anymore.
He simply went back to the county government office, found Wei Changqing and accused him of guilt. He took his wife, son, and the three hundred members of the "Wang Family" to find a place to stay again, and began to understand the purchasing power of silver.
In Changbai County, at the Yangchun Noodle stall on the street, eating a bowl of vegetarian Yangchun Noodle is just three copper coins, five copper coins with meat, seven copper coins with eggs with meat, and a large and deep sea bowl is definitely guaranteed to be full.
At that time, the price of grain was one tael and six qian of silver, while one stone was 160 jin, which means that one jin of silver could buy 16 jin of grain.
Of course, rice, sorghum, wheat, and prices will also vary due to different varieties of grain, but overall they also float between 1.6 and 2.5, and the difference is not too much.
The top-quality fields outside the county town are priced at 12 taels of silver per acre, 8 taels of middle fields, and 4 taels of silver for lower-quality fields. Because they are located in the north, there are no paddy fields, but even so, Wang Yansheng can use this price as a reference.
At the same time, he also asked about the prices of real estate in the county town.
A unique adobe house with a small courtyard, a main room, a small kitchen and a small storage room, you can buy it for 38 taels of silver.
There are also many luxury properties that have entered the courtyards with blue bricks and white tiles. The prices are quite shocking, and Wang Yansheng is too lazy to ask.
From this perspective, the 263 taels of silver in my hand can indeed be considered a "big money". At least there is no problem for the family of three to buy a property in the county town.
If it is just a family of three, this is of course a natural thing.
But considering that there are 300 riders around to chop farmers, this is not the case.
It is true that the stewards farmers do not need to spend extra silver to fill their stomachs, but they must arrange their place to stay.
And if you want to give them enough, you need to exchange survival points for survival coins to buy food. This consumption seems more luxurious compared to real-world consumption, at least in Wang Baby's opinion.
There are 303 people who want to find a place to settle in the county town, which is obviously unrealistic.
Therefore, after learning some information that should be understood and having a general idea in my heart, the group left the county town and went to a Dragon King Temple outside the city, which was almost turned into ruins, as a temporary settlement.
Due to the military disaster, this small temple dedicated to the Dragon King of Baihe has long been abandoned. I don’t know if the temple died in the military disaster or ran away. In short, this place has been abandoned. It is also very desolate and gloomy because it is located in the northern suburbs of Changbai County for five or six miles, and it is basically rare to visit. However, it is convenient for the people of the "Wang Family".
The blue brick wall of Dragon King Temple has collapsed, and some traces of swords and slashing can be vaguely seen on the wall. I don’t know if there was a battle here. Half of the main hall in the temple was destroyed, and the two side halls were completely destroyed.
“This place is great, it’s better to use it for temporary stays.”
Although this place is already considered a ruin, it is a land without a border, so it is just right for the "Wang Family" group to be a temporary place to settle down. So after arriving here, Wang Yansheng was so satisfied with the place that he was no longer satisfied with.
Speaking of which, Wei Changqing told this place. If it weren't for Wei Changqing, Wang Yansheng and his group would know about it.
Therefore, Wang Yansheng remembered Wei Changqing's kindness in his heart, and put it in his heart that he could make friends with him, and made up his mind to have a good relationship in the future.
After all, he is not a slut like his son Wang Baobao. Wang Yansheng knows very well that if you want to survive in this strange world, you must establish your connections or something.
Therefore, as the captain of Changbai County, Wei Changqing is definitely a person worth making friends with.
Although Wei Changqing was not a big shot in the bureaucratic system of the Great Shang Dynasty.
But on such a mu of three-point land in Changbai County, Wei Changqing can be regarded as the number one figure.
As the highest military chief of Changbai County, Wei Changqing not only manages 2,800 county soldiers, but also has the power to arrest bandits and manage public security. In modern society, it is the county public security bureau chief and the county armed minister. How can such a person be ignored?
Wang Si commanded other cavalry and chopped the farmers to work hard. After all, the Dragon King Temple has been abandoned for a long time, and if you want to settle down, you have to deal with it. Fortunately, the family of three didn't have to do this, so he took responsibility.
The three of them were not idle even though they were in a relaxed state. While Wang Si was commanding the cavalry and chopping the farmers, Wang Yansheng took his wife and son into the half-dead main hall, preparing to discuss how to go in the future.
The Dragon King Temple originally worshipped in the main hall has been damaged, leaving only a base, so it is impossible to see what the Dragon King originally worshipped looks like.
During the day, from walking out of the mountain pass, until entering the county town to becoming a naturalized person, and then to the Dragon King Temple, the family of three has already seen every detail of the world today.
Especially the scene of the mass grave was always lingering in the minds of the three of them.
"It is now clear that this is indeed a world similar to ancient times, and this place has just encountered a military disaster, and all industries in the county are in ruins and waiting for development. So what plan should we plan next?"
In the collapsed main hall, Wang Yansheng found a place to sit down casually, and spoke to his wife and son.
"We have 263 taels of silver as our capital now, so you can tell me."
His wife Li Huixian and son Wang Baobao also sat down, and the two showed thoughts.
After a while, his son Wang Baobao said, "I think I will consider the side mission first. This side mission is [Setting up a family and building a career]. It seems that it can be completed easily. The adobe house in Chunhua Lane is only 38 taels of silver. But based on my experience as a flop writer, I think the task is not simple."
"Oh, then what do you think about this?" Wang Yansheng was interested in his son's words.
"This side mission is definitely not as simple as our family of three. Maybe Wang Si and the others have also been included. After all, according to your words, Dad, they are already considered our tribe members."
"So, this side mission is not only as simple as letting our family of three settle down, but also to let Wang Si and the others settle down, let alone establish a career..."
[Survival System] It's very tricky, with no prompts or guidance at all. It's all a family of three who have to explore on their own, so Wang Baobao has to think more.
"Dad, didn't you find any problem when you were naturalized? The naturalization document written by our family of three first. After writing it, there was no movement. In the end, it was only after all the riders and choppers got naturalized, that thing was going to happen."
Wang Yansheng, who had not noticed this at first, recalled carefully after his son's reminder and found that it seemed to be what his son said.
Li Huixian also spoke and interrupted at this time: "Erbao is right. I didn't think much about it at that time, but this is indeed the case."
Even his wife confirmed that this was the case, and Wang Yansheng's brows couldn't help but frown.
"If that's the case, it seems that it's not that easy for us to complete this task."
Indeed, [Side Mission: Setting Up a Family and Building a Business] is literally easy to understand, it is nothing more than having a property that allows people to shelter from wind and rain.
Originally, buying a property and opening a store could be considered as completing the task.
But at the moment, it is obvious that this will definitely not be possible.
Wang Baobao said that the adobe property in Chunhua Lane costs 38 taels of silver, which is already the cheapest, and it is located in a poor area.
So what about the business shop?
You can't let everyone go to work, right? Besides, you don't know whether working is considered a "business".
Therefore, to complete this task, if you don’t have a piece of land to build your own house, but to buy a house, just like the current situation of 303 people, it will take at least dozens of houses. At the same time, you have to think about how to find a living for everyone.
