After I lost my job, I started to get rich from plane trading.

The boy's hands and feet were so nimble that when Uncle Ping and the guard captain finished speaking these words, the preparations were completed.

"Sir, everything is packed and ready to go." In fact, there was nothing to prepare, but two waves of people needed to be arranged to protect him.

One wave is to protect him openly, only two or three people are needed, and the other wave is to protect him hidden in the crowd.

"Let's go." Yu Pingbo turned around and started walking along the route specified on the city map he had seen before.

Yesterday, he came in a hurry and entered the city at night, so he had no chance to observe carefully.

However, based on what he could see from standing here and listening to what was going on outside, although the places outside the city were littered with corpses, the city was not only stable, but also considered "prosperous" -

In less than a quarter of an hour, he heard at least three waves of hawkers hawking.

Although there is a possibility that someone will take advantage of this identity to inquire about information, it is undeniable that these people are still in the mood to do business, which shows that the sense of security given to them in this city is sufficient.

What he saw and heard when he went out also confirmed this. Because he chose to walk, he could get closer to the people in the city and observe with his own eyes and ears.

"Selling cooking cakes—brown sugar cooking cakes—"

"Freshly baked buns - five cents each"

……

The cries of hawkers kept ringing in his ears. Yu Pingbo compared the prices before the troubled times with those on the road when he came to this place before, and he had some thoughts in his mind.

Although the price is several times more expensive than before the troubled times, it can be said to be extremely cheap compared to those on the road.

"Do they set the prices of these things now, or is it controlled by someone?" Yu Pingbo asked the attendants around him.

"Mr. Hui, they decided it themselves. At the beginning, no one released grain, and the prices were astonishingly high like other famine-stricken places. Later, each family began to control the prices in their own grain stores. Outside, The price of food will also come down." The attendant replied.

"Grain release? Is this the only price in this city?" Yu Pingbo thought of what he saw on the road, and it didn't look like the price had been lowered.

"Yes, this price is the only one in this city. Moreover, since each family started to control prices, there are regulations on the amount of food that everyone can buy. Even ordinary people who come into the city every day have a fixed amount." The entourage knows that, like handing over, People like Yu Pingbo may not be exposed to such trivial matters as city entry fees.

Usually when this happens, there will be dedicated people to complete these things for them, so that they will not waste time on these small things.

"How many people can enter the city every day? How much is the entrance fee?" Yu Pingbo asked.

"Eight hundred people can enter the city every day. The entrance fee is 40 cents. After paying the money, a sign will be issued as a voucher for shopping in the city. Without that sign, the merchants in the city will not sell anything to them." The attendant replied immediately.

"Forty Wen..." Yu Pingbo muttered.

Forty coins is not a small amount. You must know that before the advent of troubled times, except for merchants who had to pay entrance fees, other people only needed passes to enter and exit without any fees.

"Who will give the money after collecting it?" he asked.

"Each family takes turns to defend the city, because the number of people entering the city is fixed, so whoever defends the city will get the money." The attendant replied.

He still knew this, mainly because... he had guarded the city gate before.
