"Well, have you seen those people wearing high hats in the queue?" Jenny said pointing to some people wearing hats in the queue.
"Yeah." Alice nodded and responded.
"Those should be people from North Korea." Jenny said.
"You mean, foreigners can also buy it?" Alice suddenly understood.
"Yes, madam. But it is also a limited purchase. But it is only for relatively cheap ones, such as 10 yuan per pound of paper. Each person is not allowed to buy more than three pounds per day." Jenny said.
"How much is 10 cents worth? How much is a pound?" Alice didn't know much about the unit here.
"The one pound they have here is about 1.1 pounds of ours. For 10 cents, you can probably buy two and a half pounds of rice①, which is what our 2.7 pounds means." Jenny kept thinking about changing the units of each party.
"Oh, I understand. According to you, this paper is really not expensive. Is there anything more expensive?" Alice nodded slightly and continued to ask.
"Of course, madam. 10 Wen per catty is relatively cheap, but for ordinary people, it is absolutely no problem to use it to go to the toilet. If you are looking for something more, you can also choose 30 Wen or 50 Wen per catty. The quality will be much better. As for the ones that cost 100 Wen per catty, they are quite good. There are also some that cost 500 Wen per catty or even more. The ones that are snow-white and soft are the best, and they even exude a floral fragrance." Jenny said.
"500 yuan per pound is quite expensive. Have you ever used it?" Alice was a little curious.
"Madam, Lord Jonathan actually brought back a lot of them and gave some to me, so I was lucky enough to use them. There are still quite a few at home now," Jenny replied.
"So, we don't need to buy it?" Alice said.
"Yes."
…
After wandering around for a while, Kennedy and others found that many of the items were really cheap, and they felt that they would be sorry if they didn't buy them. Especially some spices, they weighed several kilograms.
After paying, they left the supermarket and walked towards the center of the mall.
At this time, you can see from a distance a standing humanoid statue more than three meters high in the center of the mall.
After Jenny's explanation, Kennedy and others realized that the statue was carved by the owner of the shopping mall and the emperor of the country.
I saw the man in the statue standing upright with his sword in his hand, and his expression showed a look of disdain on the heroes. Around the statue are many oval long stone seats for pedestrians to rest.
It means: "The emperor guards the four directions, and the people live and work in peace and contentment."
There has always been a saying in Chinese traditional culture that "living people do not have statues". Because erecting statues to living people is equivalent to building shrines to living people.
According to folklore, deceased people will protect all people if they receive incense from others. However, if a living person receives incense in this way, and if such a person is not a savior destined by God or a peerless hero with a virtue worthy of heaven and earth, his lifespan will be shortened. , everything goes wrong, otherwise it will end in tragedy.
Of course, no one knows exactly what happened. However, Wei Zhongxian, who was so powerful at that time, seemed to be unable to bear the shrine built for him by local officials, and eventually committed suicide by hanging himself.
According to folklore, Zhang Rui at this time can be regarded as a peerless hero even if he is not the savior destined by God. Logically speaking, erecting a statue should not be a big problem.
But there are always some mysterious things in this world that cannot be explained.
Furthermore, if others don’t know what’s going on, how can Zhang Rui not know what’s going on with him?
Even if the world he is in may be just a parallel time and space, he does not dare to do anything drastic to change the course of the world.
Because of this, no matter how much technology Zhang Rui had, he did not dare to use it all at once. Instead, he slowly released it through researchers from the Royal Research Institute. Zhang Rui only put forward some of his own opinions at the "critical" moment to make everything seem to follow an obvious process.
After all, it is not a wise thing to directly challenge the way of heaven with mortal power.
As a possible ancestor, Wang Mang, such an awesome person, went crazy to kill "Liu Xiu" across the country in advance, and attacked with more than 400,000 people without giving the "villain" a chance to breathe.
But in the end? It is better to let the "Xiu'er" created by Tiandao be sent away.
Zhang Rui doesn't know whether the son of the plane "Xiu'er" will also appear in this time and space. Of course, more than this, he was more afraid that the son of this plane would be from the Manchu side.
Therefore, Zhang Rui has been developing carefully. Even if Yi Chao is now fully capable of marching north, he still wants to settle down for another year or two.
This is not only to train troops and develop the economy to improve his overall strength, but more importantly, to associate with him by connecting with more people, so that the rules of heaven can be transferred to his side.
As the saying goes: people plan things, and God makes things happen.
No matter how strong a person's ability is, he is just a little ant in the eyes of Tiandao. Give you a random case of smallpox or plague. In the era when there were no specific drugs, it was basically over.
For example, Kang Mazi, as an emperor, did he need any resources at that time? As a result, I got malaria and almost finished the trip. However, he was finally cured by the "quinine" brought by French missionaries. It can only be said that he was lucky and his life was not dead.
Since the incident, Zhang Rui had narrowly escaped death several times, and he gradually came to his senses.
This is a real world. If you are injured, you will feel pain, and if you are sick, you will die. It's not written, it doesn't mean that if you travel through time, you must be the protagonist, and you are destined to have the halo of the protagonist and not be killed.
Historically, Wang Mang's skull was still collected.
Heaven doesn't want you to die yet, but it's still weighing whether your value is worth it to make changes and modify the rules for the future.
Once a time traveler is abandoned by heaven, he is not far from death.
Therefore, the traverser must form a "potential" within a conditional time.
This "power" is to get more people to stand on your side and be on the same front with you. In this way, this trend can influence the way of heaven to change the rules.
Of course, what Zhang Rui doesn't know is that no matter how cautious he is and how afraid he is that "Xiu'er" will appear in this time and space, except for "Xiu'er" in this time and space, he just doesn't know whether this "Xiu'er" is the same as that "Xiu'er". "Xiu'er" is all.
Note ①: This is based on the price of one tael of silver per stone (120 kilograms in the Qing Dynasty ≈ 143 kilograms now), which was the lowest rice price in the region during the harvest year in the 21st year of Qianlong's reign. One tael of silver ≈ 1,000 Wen (when there are no natural or man-made disasters), 10 Wen (clearance price) ≈ 1.43 catties (yijin)
The granary plan of the Yi Dynasty kept the rice price at the average price of one stone (120 Qing) in the early Qing Dynasty ≈ 8 qian (Qing) silver, that is: 6 qian (yi) silver ≈ 600 Wen ≈ 143 jin, 10 Wen ≈ 2.4 jin
