Ancient Wei.

Qin Imperial City.

This is the place where ancient Wei is closest to ancient Han. It is adjacent to the sea in the east, and the entire north is occupied by ancient Wei. The people here are tough and their fighting power is much stronger than that of ancient Han soldiers.

However, the ancient Wei people were short of resources and had to live near water and grass all year round, so they were not as proficient in farming as the people of ancient Han.

The reason is that the grasslands in the north are vast, and the income from grazing cattle and sheep is far greater than that from farming. This leads to grazing in most areas of the north. Only a small cold area in the northeast is cultivated in spring and summer. The harvested grain is only meager, enough to satisfy the food and drink of a small number of people in ancient Wei.

At the gate of Qinhuang City.

A young man wearing ordinary gray cloth and with a calm and composed expression walked by.

The soldiers standing guard on both sides looked straight ahead, occasionally glancing at the crowd, and then continued to stand there like wooden figures.

Many people pass by here.

Most of them were soldiers from the front legions, who came back to do their own things or official business.

Ren Hao paced slowly in the city, not looking around like a newcomer. If he was discovered by someone with ulterior motives, they would surely target him.

The safest way is to pretend to be a regular customer.

Although he did not turn his head around, Ren Hao's gaze was always patrolling around, occasionally sweeping over some soldiers, and he walked forward calmly.

After walking for more than an hour, Ren Hao felt the local customs and habits here, which seemed to be not much different from those in ancient China.

Unlike the Mongols in the previous life, the ancient Wei was also a pure Han people. It was just that due to the changes of dynasties, the world was divided and united. After the ancient Han was established, it did not take back the north, so it led to the oppression of the ancient Han by the ancient Wei.

In front of a noodle stall, Ren Hao sat down leisurely.

The noodle stall owner was a middle-aged man, plump and looked very kind.

"Sir, what would you like to eat?"

"Whatever!" Ren Hao said.

Hearing Ren Hao's words, the noodle stall owner showed no strange expression on his face and said, "How about a bowl of oyster noodles for you?"

"Okay." Ren Hao nodded lightly, then drank his tea.

This is one of the important cities of ancient Wei. Ren Hao had heard from Xu Qing before that Qinhuang City was one of the largest cities in ancient Wei, with a population of 200,000!

This number can be said to be quite terrifying.

The distance he had walked before was not even one-fifth of the Qin Imperial City.

Such a large population base makes this coastal city have an economy and prosperity rarely seen in ancient Wei.

It can even be compared with the ancient capital of Han Dynasty.

In addition to the large population, there is also the War God Pass in front of it. The ancient Wei army is always on the alert and ready to attack the city at any time.

With so many soldiers, they would occasionally go to the city in their spare time to eat, drink, or have fun. Most of them would even go to brothels such as Cangchunlou and Xiuyulou to vent.

This also led to many people in the city starting various businesses.

The sounds of hawking were heard constantly in the streets and alleys.

After all, these soldiers have military pay, and they work hard all day long, so they don't feel sorry for the money at all when they enjoy themselves.

At this moment, two soldiers in armor sat at the table as Ren Hao's narration said.

"Old man! Two bowls of oyster noodles! Add two more oysters!" one of them shouted.

The noodle stall owner quickly agreed: "Okay, please wait a moment, sir."

The two people started chatting while drinking water.

"Fuck it, why can Zheng Laosi and the others go to the south to gain merit while we have to wait here? I really fucked them!" A soldier blurted out in dissatisfaction.

The other one patted him on the shoulder and said, "Forget it. Everyone has their own destiny. It's our bad luck!"

"One step away can make a world of difference! When Zheng Laosi has made enough achievements and got a few heads, he will be promoted and make a fortune. In the future, he may even have the opportunity to become a centurion or a thousand-man commander..."

"We've been pawns our whole lives!"

"Ah, it is true, damn, what a miserable life!"

The two of them sighed in unison, causing the corners of Ren Hao's mouth to slightly rise.

Miserable life?

It must be because he is lucky!

All the people who went to the other side of the mountain have been surrounded by Li Cang and Jiang Yunfeng, and they will die sooner or later.

The group of people who went in after I came out probably couldn't escape the fate of death.

When Xu Qing and the others find out, they will definitely send reinforcements, and then that group of people will also turn into ghosts.

These two guys are really lucky.

Soon, the oyster noodles were served. Ren Hao picked up the chopsticks, took a bite, and nodded unconsciously.

This noodle is really good!

The wheat and rice grown in the north contain more starch because of the abundant sunshine and slow growth cycle, which is why the rice in the north was more famous in the past life.

The oysters tasted fresh and tender, without any of the stinky smell after being frozen in the previous life. They were soft, tender and smooth. Ren Hao's appetite was aroused and he quickly finished the bowl of noodles.

After wiping his mouth, Ren Hao touched his pocket, and suddenly cold sweat broke out on his forehead!

He forgot one thing!

It's not that he didn't bring money. He did bring money, but it was Gu Han's money.

Paper money already existed in ancient China and was exchanged throughout the country, but the denominations were relatively large and ordinary people hardly used them.

In ancient China, copper coins were commonly used. Two copper coins could buy a sesame seed bun. For example, in Caixu Village, most villagers could only earn two copper coins a day.

In addition, there is silver.

The silver of ancient China was of high quality and easy to carry, so it became the first choice for most people with some money. After all, paper money was not very safe, and silver was the hard currency.

But ancient Wei is different!

Although the ancient Wei Dynasty also used silver, it only used official silver, and did not allow it to be minced for use.

In addition to broken silver, there are also copper plates, but they are copper plates made by the ancient Wei Dynasty official system. They are smaller in style than the ancient Han Dynasty copper coins, and the texture is also different.

So now Ren Hao is facing an embarrassing situation.

He had money, a lot of it, but he didn't dare spend any of it. If he was discovered, he would be arrested and interrogated by the Wei army, and eventually die tragically in prison.

But if he doesn't pay, and the noodle stall owner reports him to the police, he won't be able to produce his credentials, and won't be able to tell where he is from, so he will be arrested.

It's a death sentence either way!

Ren Hao calmed down. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Old man, another bowl!"

The noodle stall owner looked at Ren Hao in surprise. The portion of his noodles was quite large, and a normal strong soldier would be about 80% full after eating it.

This seemingly weak young man in front of me is actually not full yet?

But everyone is different. Since Ren Hao had asked, as a businessman he had no reason to refuse, so he immediately agreed and started.

Ren Hao breathed a sigh of relief. With this time, he could think of a solution.

At this moment, one of the two soldiers who were eating noodles next to him suddenly turned his head and asked, "Brother, where are you from? You have a good appetite!"
