Chapter 60 Begin to deceive yourself(1/2)

The next day, early morning.

"Tsk tsk, do you want to eat so naturally? You are a woman!"

Han Yi felt inexplicably resentful when he saw Xiao Yun eating the rice porridge and egg pancake he had just made. In the past, this woman would at least feel a little ashamed when eating what he cooked, but now-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Why can't you eat naturally? What you cook is delicious!"

Xiao Yun seemed a little surprised.

"I'm a man, you're a woman. You're sitting and waiting for food. Don't you feel very ashamed?"

Han Yi said a little excitedly.

"Why am I ashamed? Isn't it normal for my husband to cook breakfast with his wife? Besides, I have to wash dishes, so I can't say I'm lazy." Xiao Yun looked for granted.

“……!”

This woman must have traveled through time, right? Han Yi, who could not feel the virtuous and kindness of ancient women, went out with a slight depression after breakfast.

He first went to Xiong Di and Ono. When he arrived there, the two boys were shooting birds in the forest. Han Yi did not object. As long as he didn't shoot birds, it would be enough. After all, are they still young?

Of course, it was all Ono who was shooting birds with a slingshot there. Brother Bear picked up the birds that Ono had hit with a slingshot from behind. Seeing that they were so unhappy, Han Yi, who was afraid that they would be bored at first, felt relieved. He looked at their gains, shared their happiness, stayed in the hole for a while, and then left with a roll of silk.

After coming out of the cave, Han Yi rushed to the dilapidated temple again.

"My benefactor, you are here."

When Sang Mu and the other two saw Han Yi coming, they hurriedly greeted him and saluted him.

Han Yi smiled and nodded and said, "Are you still used to it here?"

Sang Mu said: "I'm not hiding my benefactor, these two days are the most comfortable two days we have ever been in the past few months."

Zuogi and Donghao also nodded one after another. It was a miracle that they had not starved to death in the past few months, and they had almost never had a full day. Yesterday to now, it was the fullest day they had.

Han Yi smiled and said, "This is just the beginning. I can't guarantee that you will be able to complete this task, but at least I won't be hungry again."

Zuo Wu said a little excitedly: "My benefactor just give me the order."

Han Yi took out a piece of rectangular wood from his arms, about five centimeters long, and handed it to Sangmu and said, "Do you know this?"

Sang Mu took it and looked carefully. He had doubts flashed in his eyes, and handed it to Zuo Wu. After Zuo Wu looked at it, he handed it to Dong Hao again. Dong Hao looked at it and said, "This - this looks a bit like our Fusang Jinying."

Sangmu and Zuo Wu also nodded one after another.

Han Yi said: "Are you sure?"

Donghao nodded and said, "I'm sure I'm not hiding my benefactor. My father was also a blacksmith before and made some silver slings, which are similar to this shape."

Could it be that the old bald donkey has something to do with Fusang? Han Yi muttered to himself, but didn't think much about it. It was nothing to do with him and said, "Then what do you Fusang merchants come to my Tang Dynasty to buy with gold?"

Sang Mudao: "It is usually exchanged for silk, tea and coins from the Tang Dynasty?"

"Coins? Why?"

Sangmu said, "We Fusang lack copper, and the people of our Fusang have recently liked the coins of the Tang Dynasty very much, so many merchants also exchanged gold and silver for the coins of the Tang Dynasty."

In fact, it was just the beginning. Due to the small population and low prices, the coins were very sufficient, and the circulation of coins was not prohibited. In the middle and late Tang Dynasty, with the rise in prices and the increase in population, the Tang Dynasty experienced a shortage of money, and it was not until then that the coins were prohibited from leaving the country.

If this is the case, why didn’t the Yang family buy gold from the Fusang merchants? Han Yi was curious and said, “Then how many businessmen are you from Fusang Yangzhou?”

Sang Mu nodded and said, "Since the Grand Canal, more and more merchants have come here in Fusang, but they usually log in to Yangzhou, mainly to Chang'an and Luoyang."

In today's world, Chang'an and Luoyang are New York and London in later generations. They are two super international metropolises. Foreign merchants all go to these two metropolises because there is plenty of goods there.

"What about except Yangzhou?"

"There are also Guangzhou Governor's Office, Laizhou, Quanzhou, Mingzhou, Dengzhou and other places, which are mainly concentrated in Guangzhou Governor's Office."

Han Yi nodded and said intimately, it seems that either the governor's mansion needs a lot of gold, or there are no Fusang merchants bringing gold to Yangzhou for the time being. This is really a helping me. I smiled and said, "Do you want to be a rich man?"

Sang Mu and the other two looked at each other, then nodded, and said honestly: "Who doesn't want to do this rich man?"

Han Yi said: "Okay! I will enjoy it for you and let you be rich again."

......

......

Two days later.

Han Yi came to Shen Xiao's nest as promised. Today they came by a carriage.

And Shen Xiao had been waiting here for a long time.

Although Shen Xiao is easy-going and has a wide range of friends, he has almost no friends he really has, because no one has the same values ​​as him. In their common people, at least no one would think that beggars and slaves also have dignity. In the Tang Dynasty, Shen Xiao's values ​​were indeed unique, which is why he always couldn't make close friends. Only Han Yi and many of his ideas are the same, so he valued Han Yi very much and came to the appointment early.

"Han Yi, you really made me wait. I thought you, a kid, wouldn't come."

"Sorry, sorry! Huh? What's your eyes doing?"

Han Yi had just gotten off the carriage and suddenly saw Shen Xiao Shen Xiao’s left eye still bruises.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's my dad's beating, I'm used to it."

Shen Xiao waved his hand.

"Ah? Oh!"

Han Yi didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Brother Shen."

Brother Xiong and Ono also got off the carriage one after another.

"Little fat, Ono."

Shen Xiao waved his hand and suddenly laughed at Han Yi, "What? I've got rich and I've gotten on the carriage."

Han Yi smiled and said, "This carriage is not mine. Oh, someone wants to see you."

"Who?"

Shen Xiao said in surprise.

"Yes-it's me."

With a less standard pronunciation, a middle-aged man came out of the car.

Seeing that the man was dressed in gorgeous clothes, Shen Xiao looked at him and said, "Do you dare to ask me what you need to do?"

The man had ever got out of the car and smiled and said, "Don't your benefactor know me anymore?"

"Mr.?"

Shen Xiao said in surprise: "Have I seen you?"

The man smiled and nodded. At this time, the two drivers who were driving also came over and saluted: "Donghao (Zaowu) has met his benefactor."

Chen Xiao was startled and looked at Han Yi again.

Han Yi smiled and said, "Do you still remember the three beggars in front of the restaurant that day?"

"I naturally remember this."

Chen Xiao nodded, suddenly stunned, and looked at him in horror, "The three people in front of him, aren't you the three beggars?"

Since the three of them were all disheveled in front of them, their beards were full, and they could not even see their faces. In ancient times, people recognized people not because of fingerprint verification or DNA verification. Beards were a very important feature. Why did Cao Cao escape Ma Chao's pursuit by cutting his robe and cutting his beard? This was not completely fabricated, but based on facts. So he only saw them smiling on the same day and didn't know them at all.

Sang Mu nodded and said, "That's right, I made my benefactor laugh."

Chen Xiao said in surprise: "What's going on? What do you guys?"

Han Yi said: "Let's talk about it when you enter the house."

Several people entered the house.

Han Yi first introduced it, and then said: "This Mr. Sangmu is actually a nobleman from Fusang. He came to our Tang Dynasty to do business a few months ago, but on the way to Chang'an, he was blocked by bandits and robbed. He escaped under the desperate protection of his entourage. Later, he became a beggar. It was not until the day before yesterday that he met one of his cousins ​​and he calmed down."

"So that's how it is." Chen Xiao nodded and bowed, "Good to know, lucky to know."

Sang Mugong bowed and said, "Today I wanted to go to the first floor to find two benefactors, but I didn't expect to meet Han on the road. He said that he would come here for a date with the benefactors here today, so I followed him to come. Please forgive me if you disturb me."

Chen Xiao said casually: "What's the matter with me? I like to be lively and make friends."

Sang Mu stood up and bowed and said, "If the two benefactors had not wanted to save that day, we might have starved to death. The two benefactors' great kindness to us will never forget. For the meager's gift, please accept the meager gift."

Donghao and Zuogi immediately gave the gift.

"What are you doing?"

Chen Xiao said with an unhappy look: "If this is the case, I can't afford to make you a friend." As a prodigal son, he only has the principle of giving gifts, but he really has no principle of receiving gifts.

Han Yi also said: "That's right, being able to meet is fate. You can use these to insult this fate. Just drink a few more drinks when you eat later."

He laughed and said, "Han Yi understands me, it's not bad. If you really thank us, I'll have a few more drinks later."

After seeing this, Sang Mu did not force himself. The few people started chatting again. During this period, Chen Xiao also asked Sang Mu about the situation in the past few months. Sang Mu reported the truth, including reporting to the officials in Muzhou, but the government was perfunctory. These are all truths.

After saying this, Sang Mu suddenly said, "By the way, two benefactors, I want to ask you one person."

"Who?"

Asked with a smile.
