The weather is getting colder, the autumn leaves are falling, and the frost is quietly stained. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
On this day, Lord Gao said that in a few days it will be the beginning of the winter solar term, and there will be an official market in Kuanxi City that day, as well as a very lively temple fair, if Princess Luan likes to be lively, she can go out of the palace to go around.
"Can you go with you?"
"Yes. β
Feng Yiluan and Ji Li said this, and the two began to look forward to Lidong.
In the blink of an eye, on the day of the beginning of winter, early in the morning, Feng Yiluan had just finished dressing up, and the tall man personally took a small and exquisite gold storage box and came to the Yanxia Courtyard.
"Your Royal Highness Princess, this is 100,000 taels of gold, if you have something you like, just buy it. β
Feng Yiluan looked at the palm-sized wooden box and said, "100,000 taels of gold?!I just went to a temple fair, did I use so much gold?"
Lord Gao said with a pleasant face: "Princess Luan doesn't know, the periphery of this bazaar is all ordinary things bought and sold by ordinary people, but there is also an official market in the bazaar, in the official market, you may be able to find treasures that are not in the palace, if you like it, you need to buy it at a large price, this 100,000 taels of gold, but it is equivalent to 100,000 spirit stones, not much." β
"Oh......"
Feng Yiluan snapped his fingers, and couldn't think of how much gold there was in 100,000 taels, so much gold, if it was put in the hands of ordinary people, how many lifetimes would it take to finish it?
Master Gao explained: "In this level of government-run bazaar, it is forbidden to trade spirit stones, so you must use gold, these gold princesses take it first, and if it is not enough, then send someone back to spread the word, and I will personally send it over." β
Feng Yiluan said casually: "I just want to go shopping, there shouldn't be anything to buy, this gold is enough." β
Gao Xie Xiong handed over the gold storage box to Feng Yiluan, and said one more thing: "In this world, many spiritual treasures and magic weapons are priceless, and there are some things that cannot be exchanged even if the whole country is overwhelmed." When this sentence came out at this time, it actually felt a little abrupt, and I don't know what he meant.
Feng Yiluan came to the Danfang, but found that General Yuan Ruili was also waiting here, saying that he wanted to go out of the palace with the two of them to hang out, so the three of them left the palace together and came to the official market in a carriage.
Every year on the day of the beginning of winter, there will be such a large-scale market in the city of Kuanxi, this tradition has continued for thousands of years, so at this time of year, a large number of merchants will come from all over the country and various vassal states to set up stalls here to buy and sell.
There were already 500 Praetorian Guards in the official city to maintain order here, so General Yuan was half for official business and half for "accompaniment" to the two of them. General Yuan said very modestly: "I don't buy anything, and it's useless to buy it, so I'll just accompany you to see it." β
The bazaar is really lively, everything you can think of here, there are all kinds of snacks and gadgets, there are needles and threads, incense powder and rouge, as well as leading live sheep, picking live chickens, juggling, chest broken boulders selling bruising plasters......
General Yuan took the two of them around, and then went straight from the main road to the center of the market, which was heavily guarded, and ordinary white people were not allowed to enter.
As he walked, General Yuan said, "The merchants who can do business in this area all have merchant orders issued by the dynasty, and these merchants are allowed to sell the elixir runes and other items required by the monks. β
"Oh......" Feng Yiluan became confused when he heard this.
Ji Li added: "Because the merchant trader has always been regarded as a cheap industry, the nobles with cultivation qualifications naturally do not become merchants, so there are gradually caravans that can obtain the concessionaire Jia Ling, and these merchants travel back and forth to the vassal states, selling all kinds of spiritual treasure items needed for cultivation. β
General Yuan looked sideways and said, "Master Medicine knows a lot." β
Ji Li said modestly: "It's all hearsay." β
Walking into the official market, all the merchants set up all kinds of tents, no one shouted loudly, compared to the outside of the market, it was very quiet, so quiet that it did not even look like a market.
Ji Li asked Feng Yiluan: "What do you want to buy?"
"I don't know, just just just watch and watch the fun. β
She wasn't interested in things like fat powder jewelry, and besides, she couldn't wear any of the jewelry in the palace, so she didn't need to buy them here. As for cheats and the like, she didn't think she needed it, it would be good to be able to practice the existing several exercises, not to mention that there were so many cheats in the library pavilion.
So she only followed General Yuan and Ji Li to watch the excitement.
There are many people who recognize General Yuan, but they are only saluting from afar, but few of them come up close.
Ji Li had only been to the black market before, and only then did he find out that he had seen some vendors in the black market, and he even almost asked a familiar vendor if he wanted the three pins of pills......
When the vendor saw him, he seemed to be alarmed, but both sides were silent and finally covered up.
After turning around a few tents, Ji Li bought all the Ye Claw Zhi in the hands of a trader, saying that he could refine the Beast Breeding Pill for Bai and Hei, and he also bought some spiritual herbs and herbs that were temporarily lacking in the palace, such as Feng Lingyang Ginseng, General Yuan didn't ask.
The three of them walked to a larger tent again, and Ji Li found that this vendor specialized in selling all kinds of pills, and also had a few items for alchemy by the way, so he stopped and looked around.
The trader led by the leader recognized General Yuan, so he did not dare to snub them, he saw that Ji Li did not look at the pill, but went to see a Dan furnace, and when he asked, he knew that Ji Li was a pharmacist, so he immediately said with a solemn attitude: "There have been no serious pharmacists and Dan masters in the Yue Kingdom for many years. Every year we come here, we are mainly selling pills, these pill furnaces and the like, are all placed to support the faΓ§ade, I have a few other good things here, I don't know if the pharmacist is interested. β
General Yuan casually quipped: "You can take away a lot of gold and silver in Kuanxi City just by selling pills every year, right?"
The vendor accompanied him and said with a smile: "There, there, I can't make much money, the most demanded here is the second-grade pill, and the third-grade ones are rarely asked, unlike other countries, the fourth- and fifth-grade ones can be sold......"
General Yuan said: "Listen to what you mean, do you want to take all the second-grade pills every year to my Kuanxi and sell them?"
The vendor almost knelt down and kowtowed, laughing until his face was about to cramp, and said in a loud voice: "How dare you, we are all doing a little business, General Yuan Da should not make fun of villains......"
After saying this, he quickly turned his head and beckoned Ji Li, and took out a few good things from a storage box behind him, including Dan furnace, magic weapons for fire control and fire control, etc., and took them one by one for Ji Li to take a closer look.
But Jili was not interested in any of these things, and his eyes fell on a cage.
I saw a spirit beast in the shape of a little lion lying in this cage, looking pitiful, the hair on its body was very dirty, and it seemed to have been picked up by fire and thunder.
The vendor smiled and said, "Yakushi-sama really has a good eye. (To be continued.) )
