Climbing the rivers and lakes starts with fishing

When he came out of the incense shop, the amount of silver in Ye Xu's hand doubled.

Although the money he got from selling spices was not a lot, it was already pretty good for him, it was a surprise after all.In fact, the unit price of the spices is not bad, the shopkeeper is a kind person who didn't deliberately lower the price, but the amount of spices in Ye Xu's hand is too small, so he can't sell them for much money.

However, five taels of silver, in this world of rivers and lakes, has quite enough purchasing power.One tael of silver is about 1000 Wen, which can be roughly converted into [-] Yuan. Here, two Dabai steamed buns can be eaten for a penny, and five taels of silver is enough for him to pay for three years of food expenses.

I hope this game will not leave with inflation in the later stage like the previous one, gold coins are worthless.

But Ye Xu thought about it again and felt that this possibility was very small.The last game was because the more gold coins dropped by killing monsters in the later stage, a small monster would give dozens of them. Of course, gold coins will be compiled, but in this game, killing monsters will not drop anything at all, and there will be no gold coins appearing out of thin air. Channel, presumably the price of gold can be much more stable.

Twelve taels of silver can already be exchanged for the minimum amount of bank notes, but unfortunately Ye Xu can't.Before he came to Yingtianfu, he exchanged one tael of five taels of silver for broken coins in order to ride an ox cart. Now he has one five taels of silver ingot, four one tael of broken silver, one and a half taels of broken silver and many coins.

He opened the system panel and took a look. The scraps of silver and copper coins can make up a lot of money, because what you get for buying spices is not the real five taels of silver, but some extra scraps of silver, which can even out the previous ten-cent car fare And there is a surplus.However, Ye Xu still couldn't exchange it for ten taels of silver. He looked back and found that there were more places to spend money. Now that he has exchanged for silver notes, he will have to exchange them for copper coins later, which is troublesome.

If you don't change the whole silver, carrying a lot of messy silver ingots and copper coins in your arms takes up too much space and is not easy to carry.Ye Xu felt very headache, so he could only quietly observe how other NPCs loaded money.

Most of the NPCs use money bags to hold their silver. They don't carry much silver and copper coins with them. A small money bag is enough, and it can be stuffed into their arms to prevent it from being stolen.This method is not applicable to Ye Xu, it can only be passed.

After a while, he discovered another method, which is to have a secret pocket in the sleeve, and put things in there.Some people's clothes have pipa sleeves, which are tightened at the cuffs, but wide at the forearm, like a big pocket.This pocket can hold a lot of things, and it is not easy to steal compared to it. Of course, it is not very easy to take things by yourself.

There is no better way for now, so Ye Xu decided to buy a set of clothes like this.

He walked into a clothing store with money in his pocket, and deliberately chose the one that ordinary people love to go to.The clothes on his body are too bad, he looks out of place in a high-end clothing store, and he is easy to be stared at as a flying swallow, thinking that he is a poor boy picking up money to get rich.

Ordinary clothing stores are much better, but they are a bit hard to find. The NPC people seem to prefer to buy cloth by themselves and go back to make clothes, which is much more cost-effective, and only those who don’t have a woman at home or have no time to make clothes come back to buy, so the business is not very good, and there are not many shops.

It took me a long time to find such a store. Fortunately, Yingtianfu has just transitioned from the east and west markets to the whole city. Most of the stores are still concentrated in the two markets, and the east market is luxurious and the west market is cheap.He was able to go straight to the West Market to search for shops, saving time wasted, otherwise he would have to search for a long time.

After entering the shop, Ye Xu realized that he was too ignorant. Not only pipa sleeves can hold things, but normal wide sleeves can also hold things.But these two are more obvious, and there is another type of strong clothing that can also be hidden.

When Ye Xu said that he wanted to buy clothes with pipa sleeves, the clever Xiaoer understood what he wanted.A pair of eyes glanced up and down, and took the initiative to introduce: "If you want to decorate more things, you have to buy larger pipa sleeves, but pipa sleeves are not very convenient to move and work. How about this, I will show you something else. "

As he spoke, he led him to the front of the shelf where the strong clothes were displayed. There are two styles here, one is more favored by people in the Jianghu, and the other is the quick and easy casual clothes that are convenient for ordinary people to work.The former is better at hiding things, but the various small objects that can be hidden are generally hidden in various strange places.

Ye Xu took a fancy to Jiang Hufeng's strong blue suit at first glance, without him, he looked very handsome, and he looked very bad on the street.Black, blue, blue, and white are the four colors that must be used by heroes of the rivers and lakes. If white is dirty and not easy to wash, it will easily affect the look. Wearing black clothes at night is easy to be misunderstood as night clothes. Among blue and blue, he chose the blue that he found more pleasing to the eye.

Ye Xu was very satisfied with the blue chivalrous suit that would easily obliterate everyone.

Xiao Er was not surprised when he saw that he had chosen the quack suit, and quickly helped him get a suit that fit him.Originally, Ye Xu wanted to buy another set of laundry clothes, but he soon realized that he didn't have a backpack, and it was inconvenient to carry a laundry bag, so he was a little embarrassed.

Forget it, maybe he will join the sect soon, and the sect will issue disciple uniforms at that time.If you buy too many clothes now, you won’t be able to wear them in the future, so it’s better to save some money.

So in the end Ye Xu only took a new set of clothes with him, borrowed the changing room to change before going out, and hid the broken silver separately in the hidden pockets of the clothes.He also planned to exchange five taels of silver for one tael of silver, which would be easier to hide.

After leaving the clothing store, the original set of patched and patched coarse cloth clothes were useless, and they probably couldn't be sold, so they simply threw them in the corner of the alley.There will be beggars passing by in this kind of place, so they can take it away and wear it. He can't directly deliver things to beggars, and he is easy to be surrounded by beggars.

Yingtianfu is a prosperous big city, and there are many great sects around it.Ye Xu asked someone to spend five cents to inquire about all the nearby martial arts sects, trying to choose a suitable one to join.

"The big and small sects near Yingtianfu? That's too many!" The waiter in the teahouse carefully stuffed the five cents into his cuffs. Their tea stall is an inconspicuous one in the city, and usually there are not many customers. No one will give a reward.As soon as Ye Xu made a move, it was five cents, which was a huge sum of money for him, and it was nothing more than the wages he got as a mistress for a day.

In order to give back to his big customers, this man knows everything he can say.No matter how small their tea stall is, they have a lot of people who come into contact with them every day, and there are all kinds of sects and nine streams. The secrets in the world may not be clear, but there is no news on the surface that he doesn't know.

"Guest officer, you are asking the right person. I grew up in this area since I was a child, and I have a cousin who joined a nearby sect!" Xiao Er boasted triumphantly, trying to prove that Ye Xu It is worth the money to ask him to find out.

Ye Xu also patiently listened to his gossip, and it happened that his physical strength had not yet fully recovered, so he just sat and rested.I don't know if there will be any assessment for those sects getting started, it's not too late to set off after recovering the physical strength here.

Xiao Er didn't talk too much nonsense, and quickly returned to the topic: "The biggest sect outside the city is [Xiaoyao Pavilion], which is known as the five major sects in the Jianghu. Even in the entire Jianghu, it is the most powerful. It's in the top three."

The five great sects are obviously the five most powerful sects in the entire arena, and they are counted as the top sects.The following are first-rate, second-rate, and third-rate. These three grades are not subdivided.

Xiaoyao Pavilion is located in a relatively remote location on the outskirts of the city, and chooses a land with beautiful mountains and rivers to live in an enclosure, and generally does not associate with people who are not from the rivers and lakes.The disciples in the cabinet don't like to cause trouble when they go out, and they are more aloof from the world. They usually go down the mountain to experience and attend parties held by other sects. When they don't go down the mountain, they stay in the cabinet and don't know what to do.

In short, it is very mysterious, and few people have seen the appearance of Xiaoyao Pavilion.Other sects will hold some gatherings every once in a while to invite colleagues. They never do this, and only actively participate in gatherings at other people's homes.

As for the second-rate sects, there are three nearby. Compared with them, they are closer to the main city of Yingtian Mansion, and they often deal with ordinary people.

These three sects have a lot of friction with each other, mainly because of quarrels and business conflicts.Originally, it was time to compete for territory, but this is an important city of the imperial court after all. Even if the imperial court is not taken seriously, it is not easy to grab the territory in front of the surrounding garrison, and they can only grab business.

"What kind of business do these three companies do?" Ye Xu asked.

"The dart business, they can't do anything else. I heard that they tried other things before, and they lost all their money. Later, they started to run an escort agency honestly, but there are only so many people in the city who need escorts, so it is inevitable to rob the business." Yes." Xiaoer replied in a low voice.

Ye Xu understood.

The rest are all third-rate sects, ranging from large to small.The big ones may have thousands of people in the whole sect, and the small ones are just a grass-roots team of a few people.The reason why they couldn't make it into the second-tier was mainly because the overall strength was too poor, no matter how many people there were, it was useless, and a mob couldn't make waves at all.

Ye Xu finally understood why it was said that ordinary small sects could easily enter, like that kind of third-rate sects with a few people, as long as someone came, they would definitely dream of it, so of course it was easy to enter.

After listening around, he found that Xiaoyao Pavilion seemed to be the only reliable sect around.Originally, the second-rate sects should be quite reliable, but the three near Yingtianfu sounded like three elementary school chickens, which really made him unable to look forward to joining.

"So how do you enter the Xiaoyao Pavilion?"
