Chapter 109 What to do?

Jiangdu City is located on the northwest border of Hongchao, only separated by a desert of about a hundred miles. Then it belongs to the territory of the Huns. It is yellow sand everywhere and the sky is dry. Therefore, in addition to the people in the city and the guards of the Duwei Station, in normal times, only caravans that have business dealings with the Huns will come here.

However, now, because there is less than a month left before the New Year, after Ye Xuan entered the city, he found that there were not even many pedestrians on the streets in Jiangdu City, and the shops on both sides were also sparsely open, which seemed a little depressed.

"Mr. Ye, fortunately, I'm not disgraced. Jiangdu City has arrived. I wonder where you are going to stay?" On the street, Wang Paotou led his horse to Ye Xuan, and bowed his hand with his fists.

"I came here just to experience the scenery outside the border. Just find an inn to settle in." Ye Xuan said with a smile.

Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Wang Pao Head was a little surprised. He originally thought that Ye Xuan was coming to the river to find relatives, but he didn't expect that he just wanted to experience the scenery outside the Forbidden City. You must know that this place is thousands of miles away from Cangzhou Prefecture. After walking for more than a month, he spent thousands of taels to see the scenery outside the Forbidden City.

What's so good about this scene outside the Great Wall? It costs thousands of taels of silver at a glance. The ideas of these wealthy young men are really not something that they martial artists can understand.

Along the way, Ye Xuan took advantage of his actions, making Wang Piaotou and others think that Ye Xuan was from a wealthy family.

"When will Mr. Ye leave Jiangdu?" Wang Piaotou thought for a while and asked again, "If you only stay for a few days, why don't you go back with us again? This place is thousands of miles away from Yu'an, and you can take care of it on the road."

The reason why Wang PaoTou said this is because he does have a good impression of Ye Xuan. Although he looks like he is from a wealthy family, he does not have the arrogance of a wealthy family, and he is generous. In addition, he has rescued them in Huangjia Village before, so Wang PaoTou thought that if Ye Xuan only stayed in Yu'an for a few days, it would be impossible for them to wait here for a few days before escorting him back.

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Wang!" Ye Xuan understood what Wang's meaning meant, but he shook his head with a smile, "However, I may stay here for the New Year and then travel to other places, so I won't go back with Brother Wang."

"If this is the case, I won't force you. It's getting late now, so let's send you to the inn first!" After hearing Ye Xuan say this, Wang Paoto couldn't help but nod.

Then, everyone started looking for the inn together on the street and finally found a hotel. Wang Piaotou and others planned to stay in Jiangdu for one night, but Ye Xuan directly booked the best room for the inn for two months.

The next morning, Wang Pao Head and others came to say goodbye to Ye Xuan, and insisted on retreating 500 taels of dart silver, saying that he was thanking Ye Xuan for helping him.

Ye Xuan thought for a moment, but without refusal, he put away the five hundred taels they had returned.

Seeing Wang PaoTou and his men riding towards the city gate, although they knew that there was no banquet that would last forever and that they were not from this world, after all, he had been with these maids for more than a month. At this time, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, and then turned around and entered the inn.

I found a seat on the second floor of the inn and attracted the waiter. The waiter walked over enthusiastically, bowed slightly and asked, "Master, what do you want to eat?"

"Just give me some porridge and a few dishes." Ye Xuan ordered some casually, then looked at the waiter and said, "By the way, brother, has something happened in Jiangdu City recently? I heard that there seem to be sand bandits appearing near Jiangdu City?"

"If you are back, there seems to be nothing new in the city recently. As for the sand bandits, don't worry, our Jiangdu City has the Wang family army, and those sand bandits dare not approach our Jiangdu City at all." The waiter said with some pride.

"Wang Family Army?" Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows and deliberately looked at the waiter suspiciously.

"Yes, the court is placed in the governor's office in our Hongcheng City. The general of the governor's office is surnamed Wang. He is not only very skilled in martial arts, but also highly valued by the court. Therefore, the army in the governor's office is also called the Wang family army by us." The waiter quickly explained.

"Since General Wang is so powerful, why didn't that General Wang take action to suppress the sand bandits directly?" Ye Xuan pondered for a moment and asked again.

"Oh, my master, those damn sand bandits usually have no place to live, sometimes in the east and sometimes in the west. It is difficult to find them. What's more, there are not only one sand bandits in this desert, but several groups, and all of them are extremely cruel. Even if one group is suppressed, there will be sand bandits from other places coming over in a short time. How can they be suppressed? It is not easy for General Wang to protect the entire Jiangdu." The waiter said to Ye Xuan with a dissatisfaction.

Ye Xuan's eyes flashed for a moment, and then he smiled, "So that's it. It seems that I have seen too little."

"I dare not, I dare not! Do you have any other instructions?" The waiter waved his hands repeatedly, and then asked carefully.

"No, thank you, please help me deliver breakfast and give you the rest!" Ye Xuan took out a piece of silver about one or two taels of size from his arms and threw it over.

"Thank you, thank you!" He hurriedly took the silver thrown by Ye Xuan. The waiter couldn't help but smile ecstatically on his face, and he couldn't help but bow to Ye Xuan to thank him.

Although it seems that one tael of silver is very small, after all, it is often dozens or hundreds of taels of meals on TV and movies, but that is unrealistic. After Ye Xuan came to this world, he realized that the purchasing power of one tael of silver in this world is quite large. One tael of silver is about one tael of silver equivalent to one thousand coins of copper, and a copper coin can buy a vegetable bun.

If we count from one to one five-yuan Chinese coins for a modern dish bun, then one tael of silver is equivalent to one thousand to one thousand five-yuan Chinese coins.

Of course, the times in the world are different, and this is not the case in many cases, but from this perspective, we can see that one tael of silver is actually quite a lot. As for a waiter in an inn, his monthly salary is only more than two taels of silver.

After sending the waiter away, Ye Xuan thought about what the waiter said just now, and analyzed it from what the waiter said just now. It seemed that the Wang family army had not yet gone to suppress the sand bandits as the beginning of the original plot, that is to say, the beautiful fox of Jiuxiao had not yet come to Jiangdu City.

Do you need to do something when Jiuxiao Meihu hasn’t come to Jiangdu City yet?
