woman and sea

Chapter 21

Gradually, the noise in my ears disappeared.

At this time, Yang Fan could clearly hear the sound of waves crashing on the shore.

The cascading billows and symphony give people a feeling of grandeur and depth, and it sounds very reassuring.

Turning the headland she saw the bay.

Seagrass said that the names of the mooring areas in this world are also different——

Those directly under the ship king are called "sea ports"; those directly under the ship owners are called "haiwan";

Wherever Yang Fan and seaweed go, it is the mooring area of ​​"Hukou Bay".

Looking around, the "T"-shaped trestle bridge does not look very big, it is only more than [-] meters from the beginning to the end, and you can see the end at a glance.

As far as the eye can see, forty or fifty ships of various sizes are docked in the berthing area.There are small sampans like spindles, as well as single-masted and two-masted sailing ships of different sizes.

——For the wanderers on the sea, this is undoubtedly a "gluttonous feast".If you can't eat, you can still walk around.

In order to prevent this from happening, a pair of large towers were built not far from the embankment, and there were bunkers, bunkers and crenels on the top of the towers.Naturally, there are many people stationed on the tower.Catapults, catapults, as well as spears, bows and arrows are all available.

Haicao said that the boat owners who park their boats here have to pay a lot of berthing fees regularly, and these berthing fees are handed over to the owners of these berthing areas.For example, the berthing fee of "Hukou Bay" must be handed over to the owner of Yunshan here-if "Hukou Bay" is renamed "Hukoujin", then this berthing fee will be handed over to the feudal lord up.

Because Haicao is a more or less famous doctor in this village, she usually serves the world and saves the sick, so she has the right of immunity, and does not need to pay berthing fees to any bay or ferry under the banner of Yunshan Captain.

Of course, the parking fee here is not like the parking fee on the earth, where any person can ask for a lot of money and pay back the money by sitting on the ground.After the mooring fees here are handed over to the owners, they will be used by them to repair the mooring area, strengthen the defensive walls, purchase weapons and equipment, and pay the salaries of the defenders.In this way, it can be regarded as taking from the people and using it for the people.Naturally, the tens of thousands of households under their rule will not have any complaints about this kind of tax.

After rowing the barge into the bay, Yang Fan looked up at the city wall, and asked, "Xiao Cao'er, are those people above all military guards?" Now, Yang Fan changed back to the previous name for sea grass.Compared with "Little Mister", "Xiaocao'er" still calls out kindly.

Haicao smiled and shook his head: "Hmm, how could that be? - Don't even think about it, where are there so many garrison warriors?" Your lord's subordinates."

Haicao explained to Yang Fan while putting the cable on the wooden mooring pile of the trestle bridge.

After that, I jumped onto the wooden trestle bridge lightly, seemingly effortlessly.

After standing still, she turned around and handed Yang Fan her hand. It seemed that she was worried that her own balance ability was too poor to step on the trestle bridge by herself, so she was ready to help her.

But Yang Fan on the other side didn't appreciate it.

With a proud and proud figure, she rolled her eyes at Haicao, and muttered in a low voice, "Tch...you little boy, how dare you underestimate me..."

So, imitating the appearance of seaweed just now, she pretended to be chic and lightly jumped onto the trestle bridge.

However, playing handsome failed.

After Yang Fan landed, he accidentally stepped on the air with one foot, and almost fell into the sea on his back.

——The seaweed standing leisurely with folded arms on the trestle bridge over there, watching Yang Fan round his arms like jumping a big rope and looking for balance, funny and embarrassed, is a little bit He didn't give her any face, and immediately covered his stomach and laughed so much that he squatted on the ground, almost rolling.

"Laugh at your sister!"

After Yang Fan managed to stand still, he put on a haughty face and told Haicao to shut up.

Then, she coughed pretentiously again, blushed embarrassingly, gave Seaweed a white look, and said with a snort, "I didn't eat in the morning and I was hungry and my blood sugar was low. When I stood up suddenly, I was a little bit I was dizzy, so I accidentally stepped on a space. ——I warn you, don’t underestimate my motor cells!”

Yang Fan has a principle - it's okay to despise her IQ and EQ, but it's not okay to despise her athletic cells. This is her dignity and bottom line.Once touched by someone, she must tell that person that she is ugly.

——However, Yang Fan, who was talking nonsense, seemed to have forgotten that she touched a piece of pancake from someone just now without saying hello.But I don't know how Haicao will express his feelings when he finds that there is a piece of pancake missing in the pot after returning home.

Hearing what Yang Fan said, Haicao clapped his hands belatedly, nodded thoughtfully, then stepped forward two steps, gently grabbed Yang Fan's wrist, and said with a smile: "Xiaofan , let's go eat something first? Wait a while and then go home for dinner."

"Eh? Did you bring any money?" Yang Fan asked subconsciously.

Hearing this, Haicao let go of Yang Fan's wrist, proudly pulled out a pouch-shaped pouch from the cloth belt, and gently threw it into Yang Fan's arms with a wave of his hand.

But after hearing a "choke clang", Yang Fan, who caught the small cloth bag firmly, heard the crisp sound of metal impact.

——"Hmm...it seems to have some weight..."

"I didn't work in vain this morning. I made 75 yuan at once—"

Seaweed was very happy.Against the backdrop of the bright sunshine, the bright smiling face looks like a sunflower in full bloom, full of vitality.

Yang Fan frowned subconsciously, and snorted nonchalantly, "Tch...you're so happy for only seventy yuan, aren't you too easy to be satisfied?" She subconsciously took the The coin value of the earth is equal to that on the earth.If she works part-time as a fitness trainer on weekends, she can earn [-] per class, and at least [-] per day, so naturally she doesn't care.

Seaweed's original intention was to show off, but when he didn't want to be poured cold water on his face indifferently by this alien with low EQ who passed through the universe, he felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

So, she rolled her eyes and said with a snort, "Damn Xiaofan! Is it so difficult to say a few nice words?!..."

"Eh?..." Yang Fan realized his negligence belatedly just now, so he scratched his head with a dry smile, changed into a cute face, kept clapping his hands, and said with a silly smile, " Wow! - so powerful, so powerful! - chirp chirp..."

Haicao sighed, raised his forehead and said, "Forget it..."

Yang Fan paused with embarrassing expression, coughed twice, rubbed his hands together in embarrassment and said, "Well... You should tell me what 75 yuan is, right?...I don't know the currency here What about conversions and purchasing power..."

Haicao raised her arm and supported her chin, thought for a while, and said slowly: "Well... If I only fish in the basket, I can earn up to 20 yuan a day. —— such a job as connecting large ships , only once a month."

Yang Fan nodded thoughtfully: "Souga...that is to say, he earned almost four days' worth of money in one day...I see...that's pretty impressive."

Haicao smiled: "Well, isn't it."

"Hey, by the way, how much money can ordinary people earn in a day?"

"Well... the daily income of ordinary people here, including the boatmen on private ships, is about 30 to [-] yuan. There are also crew members on private ships, ranging from thirty to fifty to as many as one hundred and eighty yuan.—— However, because people in our village grow their own food and vegetables, there is not much money to spend.”

"Oh... I see. It turns out to be a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy..." Yang Fan stroked his palm and nodded as if he had realized something.

"Eh?"

"Hmm, it's nothing. By the way, can I open it and see what the money looks like?"

"Yeah." Haicao nodded with a smile.

So, Yang Fan carefully opened the purse and took out a handful of coins from it.

The coins in her palm are of different sizes, some are concentric decagons, some are trapezoidal; some are copper-yellow, and some are silver-white.

Different from the ancient "Brother Kong Fang" on the earth, the diameter of the coins here is almost twice as large as that of Kong Fang. It is a regular decagon with a diameter of four centimeters, and there is a gap with a diameter of two centimeters in the middle so that it can be strung together. It's the so-called "one dollar".

In addition to "a dollar", there is also a "dime".Different from the dime currently in circulation on the earth, the dime here is really a dime in every sense—it is a small trapezoid cut off from a dollar.Ten cents can be pieced together to make a dollar.

Naturally, the currency here is also in decimal.Different from the earth, there are three types of coins in circulation in this world, copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins.In the middle of each dime's step surface, a small pattern is branded—the copper corner is a pine branch, the silver corner is a bamboo leaf, and the gold corner is a plum blossom.Of course, there were no gold coins and horns in Haicao's purse, she had just seen them.

Copper horns and copper coins are the most widely circulated currencies in the world. Naturally, copper coins are used to measure a few dollars in daily life.In addition, ten copper coins can be exchanged for one silver horn, and ten silver coins can be exchanged for one gold horn.

——The salary that Seaweed gets today is seven silver horns plus five copper coins.

"So that's how it is..." Yang Fan put the coins in his palm back into his purse, and handed the purse back to Haicao.

Haicao took back her purse, grabbed Yang Fan's wrist with a smile, and said softly, "As for what you can buy for one yuan, you'll know it when you go to the bay. Let's go—"

"Oh, good..." Yang Fan nodded, and let the seaweed lead her to the smooth road.

On the way, Haicao told Yang Fan that the one on the beach just now was the "Seaside Fair", which was only held once a month, and most of the people who traded there were foreigners.

Most of the time, there are few people on the beach and it is very quiet.

As for the trade between the vassals, it is on the "Bay".Different from the monthly seaside market, the market on the bay is held every day, and the people who go to trade goods are also residents of the villages in this domain.

——Of course, Seagrass is not worried about losing things in his tent.

Regardless of the simplicity of the people here and everyone's blind date, even if someone wants to steal, then they won't be able to steal anything valuable from the seaweed on the bare walls.It was because she had brought all her family wealth with her.Every time Haicao saves enough money, he will go to the silver bank on the bay to exchange the copper coins for silver corners or silver coins, which will be much easier to carry around.

Along the way, Yang Fan couldn't stop joking around, and learned a lot of information about this world from Haicao.

After walking along the flat road for about 10 minutes, the two came to the so-called "Wan Shang".

Different from Wangcheng, the main town and Fantun, the seaports, bays, Jinkou and ferry crossings have no clear and well-organized division of residential areas due to frequent trade.

Most of the buildings here are quadrangle courtyards with one entrance, and most of the houses are of solid wood mortise and tenon structure. The wealth of each family can be seen from the thickness of the wooden walls of the houses.In addition, there are some poorer families whose houses are made of slabs and earthen walls.

——In this world, solid masonry is used to build walls and fortresses, not to build residential buildings.

From the perspective of protecting the environment and saving resources, this is undoubtedly a good choice.
