Chapter 692 Purchasing Power

Li Tian let out a word and said that he would invite these refugees to have a good meal. Just this sentence made these refugees very happy.

The refugees were all kneeling on the ground and kowtowed to thank them.

Now, a meal is enough to kill them, let alone just kowtows.

Li Tian did not stop these refugees from kowtowing. After these refugees kowtowed, he said to the scholar: "Do you know, where can I buy food nearby?"

The scholar quickly stood up, bowed to Li Tianyi, and said, "Young Master, if you want to buy food, you can buy food in Guangyi County, twenty miles away nearby, but now copper coins are no longer valuable.

During the war, prices soared, and only gold can buy more things."

When Li Tian heard this, he smiled and said, "Fortunately, I have some gold in my hand."

As he said that, Li Tian stretched out his hand and took out a gold ingot from his cuff.

The gold ingot was heavy, and it looked like dozens of taels at first glance.

The refugees around were so excited that they saw the golden ingots in Li Tian’s hands.

Li Tian also deliberately showed the gold in his hands to these refugees to see if these people would be moved by the gold and rob it.

If these refugees dare to rob him of Li Tian for money, then there is no need for him to invite these refugees to dinner.

After all, Li Tian doesn't like to do such a good thing.

However, what satisfied Li Tian was that no matter how excited these refugees were, no one wanted to steal his.

This made Li Tian more appreciated.

So Li Tian said to the scholar: "There are about thirty taels of gold here. Do you think you can buy enough food to let everyone have a meal?"

There are many refugees here, and Li Tian didn't know how useful it would be for thirty taels of gold.

When the scholar saw the gold, he quickly said, "Young Master Yan is so serious. These thirty taels of gold are enough for a thousand people to eat for a month."

Li Tian was a little surprised when he heard what the scholar said. He didn't expect that in this chaotic world, the purchasing power of gold was so strong.

It seems that those refugees can resist and not rob his money, which is really a face.

After nodding slightly, Li Tian said to the down-and-out scholar: "By the way, what's your name?"

The down-and-out scholar bowed his hand and said, "I am not talented, and I am named Du Xi."

"Du Xi?"

When Li Tian heard this name, he felt familiar, so he thought about it and remembered that this was a small person in the Three Kingdoms and had some talent. In history, he had done something awesome, which was to lead fifty people and break through ten thousand people to surround him.

However, during the Three Kingdoms period, there were many talented people like cow hair, including Sima Yi, Zhuge Liang, Guo Jia, and these comet-like figures, so those like Du Xi were like cow hair, no one remembered them.

Li Tian glanced at Du Xi now and found that he was still relatively young now. He probably just became a refugee and didn't know where to go.

So Li Tian said, "Du Xi, from now on, you should call me Mr. Li. Today you go with me to buy food."

Du Xi was stunned. I wonder what Li Tian meant after he said it?

However, Li Tian said he wanted to buy food, but he was happy and nodded and agreed.

After giving Du Xi instructions, Li Tian walked to the little girl and said, "Hurry up and give your grandma the big cakes, I will buy more food back later."

The little girl nodded quickly, took the big cake in her hand, and tore a piece of it apart and fed it to her grandma.

Although her grandmother was unconscious, she woke up as soon as she smelled the scent of food. She took Dabin and took a few bites.

However, after eating a few bites, the old woman remembered her granddaughter and wanted to give the big cake to her granddaughter.

So, the two of them enjoyed the big cake.

When the refugees around saw the two grandparents and grandchildren eating big cakes, their eyes shone with envy.

When the old woman learned that it was a big cake given by Li Tian, ​​she immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank her.

Li Tian waved his hand, not to mention it.

He glanced at the refugees around him and said, "If anyone dares to steal the big cakes from their grandparents and grandchildren, no one will have anything to eat after I come back."

After such a warning, those refugees who had thoughts immediately extinguished their thoughts.

After all, Li Tian took out the gold and said he wanted to treat them to eat.

So these refugees promised that they would not do anything randomly.

Li Tian no longer wasted his time and said to Du Xi beside him: "Let's go, let's go buy food."

Du Xi nodded slightly and said, "Okay, Mr. Li!"

Originally, Du Xi planned to suggest Li Tian whether to bring more refugees to transport food or something.

But Du Xi glanced at the refugees behind him and gave up his plan. These refugees were so hungry that they were dizzy and they didn't have the energy to move things.

Instead of bringing these refugees to move things, it is better to get a carriage in Guangyi County, which is more convenient.

Without too much delay, Li Tian and Du Xi immediately set off and headed for Guangyi County.

With Li Tian's strength, he could have flew there, but in front of Du Xi, he didn't want to show his strength.

So the two of them walked to Guangyi County, which took half an hour.

During this half hour, Li Tian walked, chatted with Du Xi and enjoyed the scenery along the way.

Li Tian found out through chatting with Du Xi that this place belongs to the northern border.

Now, it is the time of chaos in the Yellow Turban Army. Yellow Turban thieves are in chaos everywhere, and the imperial court and local people are constantly eliminating these rebels.

After knowing these situations, Li Tian thought that he wanted to go to Beijing to find Diao Chan, which seemed to be a little early. He could get a piece of his own territory first when he had time. In the future, he would not be too shabby when he saw Diao Chan.

And those refugees can be used as their capital to start a business.

After all, after having money, you still need to have soldiers and territory to gain a foothold.

Anyway, during the Three Kingdoms period, whoever has the ability can occupy the territory.

Soon, Li Tian and Du Xi came to Guangyi County. The two first bought a carriage, then went to the rice shop and the butcher shop, and bought a lot of food. When they finally returned, they bought a big pot. There was no big pot, but they couldn't cook anything.

As for bowls and chopsticks, I was too lazy to buy them. Now I just fill my stomach. Some of them are good to eat. I can eat anything with my clothes wrapped around them.

After buying the goods, Li Tian and Du Xi drove the carriage and a large cart of food to the outside of the city.
