Chapter 105: Medieval real union

  After entering the city, Richard saw that the road of Cuijin City was very wide. The main road was more than ten meters and was paved with flat bluestone slabs. However, it may be that the construction time is too long, and most of the bluestone slabs have been damaged. Some places are covered with cracks, and other places are potholes, and the depressions are filled with black sewage.

  Pedestrians come and go, be careful to avoid difficult places. Occasionally someone riding a horse shouted at Mercedes-Benz, the horseshoe stepped on the sewage and splashed around, causing pedestrians to scold and dodge.

   The air is a bit turbid and the smell is a bit bad, but other than these, the rest are acceptable.

  Along the wide road, two- or three-story buildings were built on both sides. The shops were continuous. The guys hung smiles at the door and enthusiastically attracted the guests. Inside the shop was the bargaining of the guests and the boss. There was a lot of noise and laughter from time to time in the tavern. The blacksmith's "jingle bells" were ringing. Pieces of weapons or agricultural tools were built and sold at the door...

   Pandora carried the suitcase and opened his eyes to the surrounding scenes. He felt a little disgusted by the bad environment. Compared with the fresh, clean and natural forest, the difference was too far. But I was curious about how many people were busy. This was never in the forest.

   Richard dragged Pandora all the way, and finally walked into a nice-looking hotel.

   The first floor of the hotel is no accident. It is still a tavern. Many people who are noisy are sitting and drinking, drinking and laughing.

   didn't pay much attention to this, and stepped forward to the counter.

   Behind the counter is a store owner in his forties who is fat and looks like a ball. When not smiling, there are three points of treachery on his face. When laughing, a pair of thin squints disappear, and the corners of the mouth are up to the nose, making people subconsciously cover their wallets.

"Hey, hey, this guest, what do you need? Staying in the store, or what to do?" The innkeeper had already greeted him without waiting for Richard to say, "If we stay in the store, we have a choice of rooms at various prices. Can be short-term or long-term rental. We also have other services, such as helping you find a girl who can relax, or helping you find some people to deal with problems..."

  Licha raised his eyebrows, and already knew the role played by the hotelier behind the counter. He should be a broker, a medieval intermediary businessman. They use the advantages of hotels and pubs to meet various people to introduce trades to people and earn commissions from them. In fact, in the Middle Ages, many hoteliers and other shopkeepers also took up this occupation, which is why some craftsmen and mercenaries like to gather in pubs and other places.

  The so-called mercenary union and thieves union are impossible to exist in a world similar to the Middle Ages. Even if it exists, there is a huge gap from what is described in some novels. After all, according to the description, various trade unions can easily connect the organizational forces of several cities, and even most of the continents, and they can already establish a country. How can they still be comfortable pumping water and earning service fees? And the rulers of a country will never allow the existence of similar trade union organizations as long as their minds are normal.

   Therefore, in a real world similar to the Middle Ages, taverns and inns are union mission halls in a sense. People can find a way to get a job by communicating with the shop owner, or find someone who can work for themselves.

   But... Richard now only wants to find a place to stay temporarily.

  Looking at the store owner, Richard said: "Give me a room, the rest of the needs are temporarily gone."

   "Ah, yes." After listening to Richard's words, the hotel owner did not feel unhappy because he could not make extra money, and still kept a smiley face, but the efficiency was much higher. He held out his hand quickly, and simply said, "The best room is one silver coin a day, that is, one hundred copper, and the worst room is five copper a day. There are also ten copper and fifteen copper in the middle. , Twenty copper and fifty copper, you see..."

   "The best." Richard said, handing out a silver coin.

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you..." The innkeeper said with a smile on his face, he would greet the man, but his eyes swept the silver coins in his hand, and his voice suddenly disappeared into his throat and face. 'S expression froze for a few seconds, frowning slightly.

   Next moment, the hotel owner looked at Li Cha, his eyes flickered, and he still spoke politely, and asked in a prolonged tone: "This-the guest is from a foreign land, isn't he from the Emerald Kingdom?"

   "Ah, yes."

"Well, that's it. The price of the room I just mentioned refers to the silver coins in circulation in the Emerald Kingdom. It seems that you gave it to me not from other countries. Well, don't get me wrong, I don't mean the rest, Maybe your silver coin is more valuable than the silver coin of the Emerald Kingdom, but... this is the Emerald Gold City, not outside the city, or the rest of the Emerald Kingdom. Some foreign currencies are not very recognized, and I don’t want to take advantage of you... …"

  Richard listened and nodded, not angry, and no reason to be angry. UU reading www.uukanshu.com After all, just like not the whole world can speak the same language, the whole world will not use the same coin.

   It is true that the use of the same language, the same coin, the same measurement and measurement can help communication. The same culture and the same political system contribute to the joint development of each other. But reality is reality after all...

   For the currency is not universal, Richard has made preparations, so when he left the Blue Lion Kingdom, he brought a small part of gold and silver coins, more of which are precious stones and other luxury goods. Richard's original plan was to reach a strange country and sell gems in exchange for local currency.

   But now considering the many kinds of currency obtained from the iron ring of the mysterious sorcerer, it is not necessary to take out gems.

  Looking at the hotel owner, Richard touched the iron ring on his hand and activated it with mana. When he flipped his hand, another silver coin came out. "Is this the official silver coin of the Emerald Kingdom?"

  The hotelier shook his head: "Well, not..."

   "What about this?" Richard took out another one.

   "Ah, neither..."

   "This kind of?"

   "Not yet..."

  Li has always tried the sixth kind, and finally found the official silver coin of the real Emerald Kingdom, and handed it to the hotel owner.

   Seeing that the hotel owner finally accepted it, Li Cha flashed his eyes and asked, "Apart from silver coins, can you use gold coins?"

"Ah, of course, as long as it is in the Emerald Kingdom, as long as you have guests. But..." the innkeeper hesitated and replied, "but... if the guests stay for a short time, give me a gold coin. , I still want to give you a lot of silver coins, which is not convenient. So, I suggest you, it is better to use silver coins to pay the bill."
