"How much does it cost for one person? Why don't they grab it!"

Song Ke couldn't hold back and yelled out, immediately attracting the attention of many people around him.

Song Ke realized that he was too excited, so he quickly covered his mouth and shook his head at Wang Wanli who glared at him, saying that he didn't dare anymore.

At this time, the atmosphere became solemn, and everyone's face showed a hint of anger, including Jiang Guoguo.

The Lord of Izumo City and the King of Zhennan were clearly taking advantage of the situation and blatantly used this famine to make money.

In the past, many large cities did require entry fees, but at most they were in copper coins or silver coins.

When the city is under martial law, or when important visitors need to be received, the entrance fee will be slightly higher, which is only one gold coin at most. This is considered greedy by the city lord.

But now it's better, the entrance fee has increased hundreds of times. For merchants, they have even paid gold ingots to collect the entrance fee. What is this if it's not an open robbery?

As for the already poor farmers, they actually dared to charge fifty and one hundred gold coins for one share. It was simply robbery!

Jiang Guoguo frowned, feeling very depressed.

Although they could afford the money, it was clear that they were being ripped off, and no one felt comfortable.

Longyang Kingdom has always had a household law, and everyone who speaks out will be recorded in the household registration account, which is the so-called household registration.

Household registration is divided into official households, merchant households, workers' households and farmers' households.

Not to mention government households and merchant households, workers are ordinary people, and peasant households are the so-called farmers who have a hard time turning over in their lifetime.

Jiang Guoguo's family are all farmers, but Shicun belongs to the Zhennan King fiefdom.

If they want to enter the city, each person has to pay 500 gold coins. Counting Doudou, if there are four people, that is 2,000 gold coins.

Two thousand gold coins can buy the entire village, including all the fields!

Since they are all farmers, most of them are poor. The entry fee is literally killing people!

Although Jiang Guoguo still had several gold ingots with her, she felt extremely unhappy when so many gold coins were given away for nothing.

Why did she have to hand over so much money just by passing by? Did she get the money from the strong wind?

Even many people around here who can afford carriages have not yet entered the city. They probably have the same idea as Jiang Guoguo.

We have the strength to go in, but we just don’t want to just hand over the money and let the lord of Izumo City succeed.

After Hua Xin talked about the entrance fee, she revealed another piece of news.

"My subordinates have heard that the Crown Prince of Zhennan Palace has recently settled in Izumo City. I estimate that charging such an expensive entrance fee is to prevent refugees from entering the city."

"I heard that the prince of Zhennan loves money very much and is doing mischief on my own land. As long as he is there, there will be no peace. Master, should we avoid Izumo City?"

Izumo Castle is an important official entrance to the east, and logically speaking, it is the only way for them to pass.

However, there is a large hunting ground next to Izumo Castle, which is not usually closed, and hunters often go into the mountains to hunt.

As long as they pass through the hunting ground and go back a certain distance, they can also walk on the official road.

But if this happens, the carriage may be abandoned.

So Hua Xin felt it was inappropriate after she said it, and rejected the proposal repeatedly.

While the group of people was worrying about it, Wang Wanli suddenly said:

"How about we send two people in to explore the situation again? Looking at the current situation, we probably won't be able to enter the city today. However, Huayue girl just said that there are not many ingredients for cooking and we need to replenish them as soon as possible. We need to find them first.

Let the two of you go into the city to check out the situation?"

After Wang Wanli finished speaking, he took out his registration account and said:

"I am a merchant and I have to pay the entrance fee of two gold ingots, so I won't go there for the time being."

The registration accounts of Song Ke and Song Linglan were in the name of their old apprentice, so they were also merchants.

All told, the three of them had to pay six gold ingots to get in.

This is also a huge expense for the old apprentice. He can declare bankruptcy immediately after entering a city, not to mention that he is just passing through here.

Therefore, my old disciple Wang Wanli was very conflicted.

Jiang Guoguo thought for a while and finally said to everyone:

"Old apprentice's suggestion is good. Then I will take Hua Xin into the city to have a look. Hua Yue, my family and old apprentice will have to trouble you to take care of them."

Upon hearing this, Hua Yue immediately lowered her head and said solemnly:

"Master, please rest assured, my subordinates will risk their lives to protect them."

Jiang Guoguo nodded, and then led Hua Xin towards the city gate under the worried eyes of her mother and grandma.

"Hua Xin, who are you and Hua Yue?"

Hua Xin knew Jiang Guoguo would ask, so she had already taken out her registration account and said:

"Master, Hua Yue and I are both farmers, but we are under the jurisdiction of the imperial city."

Jiang Guoguo nodded, there were mountain villages around the Imperial City, and just because they were at the foot of the Imperial City, the farmers there would not be superior to others.

Jiang Guoguo originally thought that the two brothers and sisters would have slave status, which was lower than the peasant household registration. It seemed that the two brothers and sisters were not ordinary subordinates in Tong Yangfu's place.

There are a lot of people queuing up at the city gate. Although everyone knows that entering the city means taking advantage of someone, there will always be people who have reasons why they must enter the city, and money cannot stop them.

After finally paying the entry fee of 150 gold coins, Jiang Guoguo and Hua Xin entered the city smoothly and headed straight to the downtown area.

The entire Izumo City is bigger and more prosperous than Jiang Guoguo imagined.

There are not many cheap shops along the street. If you want to eat some street food, you may have to go to some remote streets and alleys in the city.

Jiang Guoguo thought for a moment, then turned around and entered a restaurant that looked pretty good.

Because she didn't feel dusty all the way, she was fair and tender and very noble, and there was a follower behind her. When Jiang Guoguo entered the store, the waiter thought she was a young lady from somewhere, and led her to the window.

In a nice seat.

"I wonder what the two guests would like to eat?"

Jiang Guoguo picked up the menu and looked at it. The names of the dishes on it were written on a piece of paper. It was so dense that it was difficult to read. She simply threw the menu away and said casually:

"What are the specialties of your store?"

The waiter felt that he had met a kid who loves to eat, so he smiled and said:

"This little lady, if you want to talk about the special dishes in our store, there are many, such as braised beef with soy sauce, pig's trotters, braised fat intestines and roasted flower duck..."

Jiang Guoguo rolled her eyes and thought to herself that this little second brother has a lot of stuff and even named the dishes, but she still had important things to do, so she quickly raised her hand to interrupt.

"Okay, let's serve a large plate of soy beef and braised pork sausage, a roasted duck, two kinds of stir-fried vegetables, and eight portions of rice. Remember to pack them."

When the waiter heard this, he was a little confused.

"Pack it up? Sir, do you mean to take it away?"

Jiang Guoguo was also stunned and asked: "What if it's not the case?"

Only then did the waiter realize that he and the two of them were not coming to the store to eat, but to buy food to eat back home.

"But sir, this roasted duck with beef and fat intestines is easy to say. It can be taken away wrapped in oil paper, but how can we take away the freshly fried vegetables and rice?"
