For a long time, while fighting against the hermit family, the star river fleet is also studying the lingxu kingdom where the hermit family is located.
In recent years, they have captured many prisoners of the hermit family. Through the mouth of the prisoners, they have learned a lot about the basic situation of lingxu, such as the ruling system, economic situation, coins, language and many other things.
Of course, because the prisoners were very strict, the information they got from the star fleet was scattered and not comprehensive. They only knew a lot about the general affairs, and they certainly knew very little about many details.
They know that the common language in lingxu world is Chinese, so now Jiang wanting can communicate with Li Qingyu and others barrier free, which also shows that lingxu world and China have been in contact for a long time.
There is no country in lingxu world, only families. There are thirty-six families in lingxu world, just in line with the number of thirty-six Tiangang. The clan's clan is often built on the steep and picturesque mountain with rich aura, which is convenient for the family's talents to cultivate martial arts and constantly upgrade.
The clan governs several cities. The city has a leader, usually a disciple of the clan. Each city also governs several market towns. There are town leaders in the town, who are appointed disciples of the clan. The market town governs several surrounding villages. There are village leaders in the villages, who are elected by the villagers themselves and obey the orders of the town leader.
The basic currency of lingxujie is similar to that of ancient China. It is divided into copper, silver and gold. The exchange rates between them are not fixed. The exchange rates of different regions under the rule of different families are not the same. Even in the region under the rule of the same family, the exchange rates of the three currencies are different in different periods.
Generally speaking, the purchasing power of a thousand copper coins is about one or two silver coins, and that of ten Liang silver coins is about one or two gold coins.
There is also a kind of hard currency among various sects, that is Lingjing. How much gold Lingjing is worth depends on everyone's mood.
In the world of lingxu, the income of an ordinary family is only five Liang silver a year.
Huzuo, the eldest son of the town leader, asked Jiang Wanqing to compensate him for 500 liang of silver. The Jiang family worked hard for 100 years without eating or drinking to pay off the debt!
Black enough! This is the rhythm of the Jiang family!
So, at the moment, everyone was startled, and Deng Yuqi scolded directly: "paralyzed, what kind of beast is this smoking beast? How could it be so valuable? "
"Yes, sister, what is this smoking beast? We've never met before Lin Jingru also asked strangely. She was really curious.
Don't say it's them, even Li Qingyu is confused. He personally interrogated Bai Chen and others, and never heard the other party mention the smoke puffer.
"It's said that there are very few smoke puffers in the world. It's the first time I've seen them. It's not unusual that you haven't seen them. But that thing is really very strange. It's called smoke puffing beast, but it's not a beast. It's covered with metal skin, which can be used to judge people. There are lights in front and behind, which can give off dazzling light, just like the little sun. The donkey cart of our family crashed the front lamp of the smoke puffer. This thing is loud and loud when it runs, because once it runs, its tail will keep puffing smoke, so people call it puffer. Anyway, it's a strange thing in ancient times. By the way, it has four wheels. The wheel is very thick, but it's not big. It's not as big as the wheel of our big car. "
While Jiang wanting said, she continued to draw.
Li Qingyu listened at a loss about what to do. After a moment, Deng Yuqi could not help but make complaints about it: "I grass! She's not talking about cars, is she? "
Li Qingyu nodded and said, "it's probably a car. Over the years, the hermit family has been constantly introducing new products and technologies from us. It is said that we have some small items, such as mobile phones, TV sets and so on. Unfortunately, there is no electricity and it can't be used here! It's not unusual for them to bring the car over. "
Jiang wanting would listen to the clouds, a blank face asked: "what do you say... Car?"? What is a car? What other cell phones? Television? What is that? "
"Oh, we've seen the cars we just mentioned, the puffers you said. Because it can spray smoke and looks like a cart, people over there call it a car. As for mobile phones and TVs, they're all new things over there. They're useless. " Li Qingyu immediately explained casually.
"Is the puffer like a cart? I don't think so, car? What a strange name. " Jiang wanting said to herself.
"Ha ha, people over there are more humorous. They always like to take some strange names. You'd better be called smoke puffer. You can't afford to pay for five hundred taels of silver, so you ran out to find fault? " Li Qingyu said again.
Jiang wanting sighed again, and then said, "five hundred taels of silver, our family can't afford to sell people and property. My father and I knelt down in front of Hu Zuo and begged him to let us go. But Hu Zuo didn't let go at first. Later, when he saw that I was a little beautiful, he suddenly remembered something. He said that Sima Qing, the young master of Sima family, was choosing a concubine. He wanted to send me to Sima family. If I could be liked by Sima Qing, he didn't need us to compensate for the loss of the smoking beast, Besides, we have to beat gongs and drums to report good news to our house. "
Li Qingyu immediately got an important message from Jiang wanting: this area is under the jurisdiction of Sima family!
Li Qingyu is no stranger to the Sima family. His first contact with the hermit family was at the martial arts meeting in Leiguang island. At that time, the leader of the hermit family was Sima Bai of the Sima family.
As far as he knows, there is only one Sima family in the hermit family, so the Sima family in Jiang wanting's mouth must be the Sima family that Li Qingyu knows!
Later, in the first battle of Chaoyang peak, Sima Hong was the leader of the Sima family!
This time I came to lingxu world, I didn't go to Bai's home, but I came to Sima's home. It's also a narrow road!
"Don't you agree to be a concubine to Sima's son? Why is that? " The little pig asked with some doubts.
If this kind of thing is put in the first space, it is to marry into a rich family. I don't know how many women are looking forward to it every day!
Concubines are not the main hall, but they have a reputation. In the first space, many women don't even want a reputation. They just want to get into the bed of rich families!
But Jiang wanting would rather die than marry into a rich family!
This is very dignified, but if she does not agree with each other, her family will be in danger.
In this case, if we don't agree, people will not understand.
Jiang wanting's face was full of resentment, and she said: "I don't know that master Sima practiced the evil method of gathering Yin and tonifying yang. It's called taking concubines. In fact, it's looking for Ding stove. After you follow him, it's as long as a year or two, or as short as a month or two, and you'll die! And after marrying him, no matter day or night, he will suffer inhuman torture every day. "
"A bunch of bastards, animals!" Lin Jingru's face turned red. She didn't expect that there was such a thing in lingxu world!
"When he saw that my father didn't agree, he asked my father to pay back the money immediately. When we had no money, they beat my father and broke his legs on the spot! I was afraid that they would kill my father, so I cried and agreed to their request, but I also made a request that I should send my father back to my hometown first. Those people know I can't run away, so they promise to come down and just take our family's car full of charcoal and donkeys for their own
"When I took my father home, it was dark, and it was raining cats and dogs. I cried and took him home alone. I didn't know how many times I fell down on the way. My father desperately called for me to stop and put him down. Seeing that I didn't agree, he didn't shout any more, just sat on the car stubbornly. From the time his leg was broken to the time he went home, he didn't cry out for pain... "
