Daily life in Qin Dynasty

Chapter 161

Chapter 161

Tieshi stayed overnight.

the next morning.

The three Yingzheng set off again with the middle-aged businessman Huang Huan.

Before leaving.

Huang Huan bought a lot of goods in Tieshi Town, which made Yingzheng a little curious.

"What is shopkeeper Huang doing?"

"Isn't this going to [Shengping Town] soon? I'll drop in some goods here, and when the time comes to [Shengping Town], I can earn a little travel expenses." Huang Huan directed the caravan to carry Cargo, said with a smile.

"There are so many merchants in Tieshi Town every day, how can shopkeeper Huang make money like this?"

Yingzheng was a little surprised. Even if he was not in business, Yingzheng understood the most basic truth that "rare things are more valuable". Now that there are so many businessmen staying in Tieshi Town every day, it is obviously impossible for him to be the only one who does what Shopkeeper Huang does. one.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Huang Huan laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha...Mr. Zhao must have underestimated the market in Hanzhong County today. Based on the current daily sales in [Shengping Town] Commodity trading volume, I can’t even splash a splash of this old man’s goods.”

"What's more, no matter how many merchants come to Tieshi Town, there are only so many goods that can be supplied here. To be honest, if the old man and the mayor of Tieshi Town have some relationship, I guess I may not be able to get the goods even if I want to get them now. !"

When Huang Huan finished speaking, Ying Zheng suddenly realized that there were many caravans departing from Tieshi Town this morning, but very few caravans purchased goods from here.

Just now, Ying Zheng thought that those people didn't buy goods in Tieshi Town because they felt that they couldn't make money, but now it seems that they didn't buy goods, but they couldn't buy goods at all.

The convoy restarted.

On the subsequent journey, everyone's caravan encountered several villages and small towns along the road. Every time they passed a village, Huang Huan would slow down the caravan and start selling goods along the village.

Ying Zheng took this time to observe the living standards of these villages and small towns through the curtain of the car.

turn out.

All the villages that the convoy passed along the way, even the smallest one, had a population of at least a hundred households.

Although these villages and small towns are not as prosperous and lively as [Tieshi Town], they are not inferior in other respects. In the villages, basically every household has built square brick houses.

Although the roads in the village are not concrete avenues, they are all rammed dirt roads, extending in all directions, and the houses look like houses.

Even Gai Nie and Zhao Gao, who were following behind Ying Zheng, couldn't help being surprised by such a scene.

But it's just the beginning.

When Ying Zheng and his party followed Huang Huan and arrived at [Shengping Town], the three of them experienced what real prosperity is.

······

"Look, take a look! Don't miss it when you pass by..."

"Mutton soup, a bowl of freshly made mutton soup!"

"The opening of the Knife Tavern is a big bargain, buy a pot of wine and get half a pot of wine, only for three days, first come first served!"

Today's 'free trading market' has expanded rapidly from the initial small 'village' to the size of an entire town after expansions.

And the entire town, with [Xin Mo Mansion] where Mo Jun is located as the center, presents a semicircle and expands towards the surroundings.

It is also because of this that many people now call this place [Shengping Town].

The buildings in the entire Shengping Town are all red brick and blue tile houses, like square grids, spreading along both sides of the central avenue.

The central avenue, which would have connected to the county towns of Kunshan, has now been expanded several times, and has a width of several feet, more than ten meters, enough to accommodate five carriages traveling side by side.

But even so, when Ying Zheng and Huang Huan's carriage entered the 'town area', their carriage was still crowded by pedestrians and carriages in the middle of the road, unable to move.

Ying Zheng sat on the carriage, opened the curtains and looked out, except for the heads in front of his eyes and the loud cries of sales in his ears, he couldn't see anything else at all.

"This······"

Ying Zheng and Gai Nie looked at each other, and they both saw shock in each other's eyes.

It's not that Ying Zheng's mood is not enough, but that the scene in front of him is really shocking enough, because in the current state of Qin, even Xianyang, the capital city, can't compare to the prosperity in front of him.

Why did Yingzheng always think that 'lively' is a good thing?

Because only when there are many people can it be lively.

In this era, the population itself is the greatest resource.

Walking through the crowded street, Ying Zheng looked at the restaurants, inns, grain stores, cloth stores, taverns, chess and card rooms on both sides of the road...

Ying Zheng had never even heard of many of the signboards hanging outside these shops.

Huang Huan brought a convoy of goods, and only went to four or five shops on the way, and sold out all the convoy's goods.

"Mr. Zhao, let's leave now."

"I'm bothering shopkeeper Huang this way."

After the goods were sold out, Huang Huan said goodbye to Ying Zheng, and walked towards the direction of [Baichuan Restaurant].

The seven-storey [Baichuan Restaurant] has now become one of the landmark buildings in [Shengping Town]. Anyone who walks into Shengping Town can basically see the towering building in the distance at a glance. architecture.

Ying Zheng was naturally a little curious about this restaurant where Huang Huan wanted to book a room for his daughter even though it was a hundred miles away.

And he remembered that Mo Jun seemed to have given him an invitation to [Baichuan Restaurant] before, but it was a pity that he didn't bring it out on this trip.

"Mr. Zhao, are you going to [Mo Mansion] now?" Zhao Gao, who was driving, asked in a low voice.

"No, you need to find a place to park the carriage first. Mr. Gai and I plan to get out of the carriage and take a stroll around the town." Ying Zheng sat in the carriage and said majestically.

until the evening hours.

Mo Fu.

Jian Jiuyuan stood in the cold wind with one arm and thin shirt like a sharp sword.

In front of him was 120 students from the 'Martial Arts Class' selected from more than 300 orphans after several assessments.

These students have gone through a whole year of training, and now 97 of them have successfully polished a solid foundation, developed their internal strength, and entered the third-rate realm.

Among the 97 people, the performance of two people is the most outstanding.

It was the 'broken-arm girl' from before, and the sturdy boy who was the oldest in the entire martial arts class.

These 120 people are all the guards that Mo Jun will prepare for [Mo House] in the future. They have been trained and educated by Mo Jun since childhood, so no matter whether it is loyalty or strength, there will never be any problems.

Although these boys and girls were in the cold wind, everyone's skin was flushed and heat was constantly radiating out, because they had just finished a day of training and had taken heavy medicine.

Staying in the cold wind right now is just taking advantage of the cold wind to help him absorb the medicine faster.

Mo Jun was sitting not far away in a heated side room, with a pot of tea and a book in front of him, squinting his eyes as if he was thinking about something.

at this time.

Hei Yu suddenly hurried over from outside the courtyard, came to Mo Jun's side and said something in a low voice.

next moment.

Mo Jun raised his head suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, Mo Jun picked up the books on the table, put on a snow velvet cloak, and hurried towards the front yard.
