202 Knowledge is not as good as black bread

People in the Zhendan Kingdom have an almost pathological persistence about their hometown. When they were young, no matter how famous they made, they would find a way to return to their hometown to live in their old age. If something happened to happen and they could not return to their hometown by themselves, they would ask someone to bring their bodies or ashes back to their hometown before they died.

This is something that everyone knows. Many nobles speculated that when the Zhendan Kingdom was strong, they did not like to expand externally, or were related to their homesickness. In any case, a large empire without invasiveness would make many people feel at ease.

The Zhendan Kingdom was very rich, whether it was silk, porcelain, or paper. These were all luxury goods in other countries. Merchants in other countries had to exchange gold for paper with the same weight. Ten times the weight of gold and thousands of times the weight of gold and silver for silk. A large amount of gold and silver poured into the Zhendan Kingdom. Unfortunately, such wealth was only concentrated in the hands of a few people.

So now the Zhendan Kingdom is in war. Logically speaking, merchants generally avoid doing business in war-torn countries, but Jedra seems to have his own ideas.

After hearing the words of the young man, Chen Xiansong fell silent. The word "homeland" means nothing to people in the 22nd century. At that time, it was a real global village. It would take no more than five hours to go anywhere. Since he was a child, he has often traveled. Under the protection of Sister Bai, he has seen the desert, climbed snow mountains, rushed through waves, and played with gliders... Because the wing suit is too dangerous, the new humans prohibit natural people under the age of 25 from trying it.

Therefore, Chen Xiansong could not understand the so-called homesickness, only silence.

The boy took his silence as his default, and he helped Chen Xiansong cover the wooden cage again, but he still left a small hole for general and conversation. Hua Man is only valuable if she is fair in skin, and she is tanned. After doing all this, he asked slowly: "You Zhendan people are very powerful. Although you often have civil wars, they are still the most powerful country. You know how to be polite, and the Temple of the Sun often helps you. But I don't understand why you always like to overthrow your own emperor. Even if that emperor has nothing wrong, I heard that your Zhendan country changes a family to become a royal family every two or three hundred years, and they are beaten to death every time."

"How can I know these things?" Chen Xiansong smiled bitterly. He was not a real Zhendan person. At this time, his stomach was gulping, and he asked, "Can you give me some food?"

The boy walked aside and brought half a piece of black bread and a water bag. Chen Xiansong took it from the wooden bar and frowned and asked, "This is too little. You can't eat enough."

"It's right if you can't eat enough." The boy laughed.

Chen Xiansong just thought for a while and understood that he was deliberately doing it for fear that the slaves would escape. He stuffed the black bread into his mouth and chewed it slowly. He had seen this little knowledge on the Internet before. The longer he chewed, the easier it would be to absorb the food. The other party clearly wanted to let the slaves starve so that they would not have the strength to escape until they were sold. In the limited time of this kind of food, it was very important to increase the ability to attract.

The wild roads of this era were all taken by people. There was no cement, no asphalt, and no asphalt, which was generally extremely uneven. When the carriage walked, it swayed and occasionally shook a few times. At this time, the thick untreated fur on the carriage played a lot of buffering effect, and even if it had a bad smell, it seemed less annoying.

Until the black bread was chewed out of the sweet taste like maltose, Chen Xiansong slowly swallowed the paste food in his mouth. He looked at the boy outside and said cautiously: "I am really a soul-thinking person. If you can send me back to the territory, the reward of hundreds or thousands of gold coins will definitely not be less. Why don't you believe it?"

"After I've told the same joke once, it's not funny to hear it again the second time." The boy said lightly: "Also, my name is Moli. If anything, you can call me my name."

For ordinary people, the status of the soul-thinking person is too high and is rarely seen at ordinary times. If he says he is a little noble, perhaps someone believes it to be two or three points, but he says he is a soul-thinking person... Without him wearing the soul-thinking person's robe and no follower on his side, no one will believe it.

"Okay, let's change the word." Chen Xiansong remembered that he had just come out of the underground protection center and encountered Aslan's experience during that period. He had a scheming in his heart and continued, "How much is it worth when you sell me?"

"My father said it would be more valuable to sell you to the nobles of his country." Morley looked at the middle-aged man in the distance and said admiringly: "But he said, you escaped nearby. I believe your original master was also the nobles of his country. If you sell you locally, if you accidentally bump into him, we can only return you, and that would be a big loss, so it would be better to transport you back to the Zhendan Kingdom. Although it would be cheaper, it should be worth three or four hundred gold coins anyway."

"So cheap!" Chen Xiansong was a little helpless. He had tens of thousands of gold coins in his family and had messy knowledge in his head. He took out some of them casually. He came over with a lot of nobles holding the gold coins and shouting for them. Unexpectedly, he was in trouble now, but he was only worth three or four hundred gold coins. He was simply unbearable.

"Not cheaper." Morley said very hurtfully: "We two countries come back to trade once, and the net profits they earn never exceed one hundred gold coins. Just one item of goods will be worth the total profits of our three or four transactions. So my father said he had the luck of picking up you. You have survived the fever, which is even more lucky. I have never understood why men who sell butts earn more and more valuable than those who work hard."

"I'm not a flower man who sells butts." Chen Xiansong lay back on the fur. His body was very healthy under the conditioning of the new human for nearly twenty years. Although the disease comes quickly and goes slowly, he is still a little weak. He is hungry and his body is soft and weak, and he is not very energetic: "Your name is Moli, right? Since you are a businessman, how about we do business?"

"Oh? Let's talk about it." Morley had a good impression of Chen Xiansong. He was the youngest boy in the team. Chen Xiansong was born with a baby face, and she looked much younger than her actual age. He felt that the two were about the same age as the same age, and he didn't feel too lonely when chatting.

"I know how to settle accounts and also understand the common texts of the mainland." Chen Xiansong recommended himself: "You know more about strange knowledge. Let me out, I will help you keep accounts, teach you how to learn words and calculations, and follow the caravan. You are only responsible for my food and drink until I pay off my worth of three or four hundred gold coins before leaving. What do you think?"

"Do you know how to settle accounts and write?" Morley's eyes lit up, and then he said naturally: "Yes, Hua Nan has been educated and trained since she was a child. She pays great attention to mood. I heard that she also knows one or two skills... It is said that everyone can play the flute. Well, wait, let me talk to my father."

Morley trotted to Jedra. Not long after, the latter jumped off the shaft of the flatbed truck and walked to Chen Xiansong's carriage and walked side by side. He asked calmly: "Boy, I heard from my son that you know about the common text of the mainland? Is it true or false, how many words can you know?"

"You can know four or five thousand commonly used words." Chen Xiansong listened to the middle-aged man and felt that he had a chance: "Although I dare not say that I am too proficient, there is absolutely no problem with basic reading and writing. If you don't believe it, you can test it."

The middle-aged man immediately changed out a sheepskin bag from his arms, and then took out a few white papers with the common Chinese characters (Chinese characters) written from the sheepskin bag. He stuffed them in through the gaps in the wooden bar, and then he said, "You read the text above. Although I can't read, I know the meaning of the words on it."

Chen Xiansong took it over and found that this was a contract letter, which was a very simple contract content, mainly about how many gold coins Party B owes Party A, and how long it takes to pay it off. If it cannot be paid off, it will be a slave and a servant forever, and it will not be terminated until three generations later. This contract is stamped with the certification seal of the Soul Deep People Association at the bottom.

Chen Xiansong finished reading the contract book, and Jedra nodded: "Well, that's right, it seems that he knows the general language of the mainland. In this way, we can indeed make a deal. First of all, let me talk about my personal thoughts, what do you think?"

"Please say it."

"You are the goods I bought, and I saved your life. If it weren't for the herbs I made, you might not be able to survive the heat disease. You can't deny this."

Chen Xiansong nodded, and he seemed to see a long fox tail growing behind Jaedra's butt.

"I saved your life. Logically, you should be grateful to me." Jedra chuckled softly, and the corners of her mouth curled up like an arc: "It is normal for me to give me some gold coins and some wealth, and it should not be too much. But I know that you don't have money, so you will be spared. As a well-educated person, you must know how to be grateful. It is natural for you to teach my son to learn words for free."

Hearing this, Chen Xiansong smiled bitterly: "Uncle, you are such a competent businessman."

"Family skills are just a skill," Jedra: "But I will not take advantage of you. During your teaching my son to learn words, you will no longer have to live in a cage. You eat the same food as us, but I will not pay you a copper plate. At night, to prevent you from running away, we will still lock you in a wooden cage. If you can accept these conditions, our transaction can be executed immediately."

Chen Xiansong frowned: "I heard from you that, it seems that when you arrive in Zhendan, you will still sell me as a flower man?"

"Of course!" Jadra laughed: "You can be worth at least three or four hundred gold coins, so I'm stupid and won't sell it."

"But learning words is not something that can be done overnight." Chen Xiansong looked at the young man with his eyes that looked extremely honest and honest. He slowly said: "It only takes one or two months from Kate Kingdom to Zhendan Kingdom. How many words can he learn during this period?"

"It will take at least five years to be able to read and write words smoothly." Jedra nodded: "I have heard of this, and I have also heard of it. To do this, you usually have to pay the teacher a tuition fee of thousands of gold coins. And you can't be with us for five years, no matter whether you are a flower man or not."

Chen Xiansong frowned again. Indeed, as long as he had the chance, he would try his best to return to Graystone Village. Xiao Min must be very anxious now and worried about him. It would indeed take a long time to teach a student to read and write books fluently. Jadela could see more thoroughly than him.

"In the past two months, I think it's enough for Moli to lay a solid foundation for learning words." Jedra looked at Chen Xiansong with his head: "And you get a certain amount of freedom and plenty of food and won't be hungry. What do you think of this deal?"

No matter what, eat your stomach first, and don’t consider the others for the time being. Chen Xiansong nodded: “Okay, deal.” (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
