Chapter 68: Phoenix
The prosperity of Wuyi is not only reflected in its industry and commerce.
The standard of living of ordinary people in the area is also very good, which is much better than that of other places.
At the very least, the ordinary people of Wuyi Town, even if they don't do anything, can rely on relief alone to achieve food and clothing.
With the household registration of Wuyi Town, it is equivalent to having a large piece of iron crops in this life.
Wuyi's commercial tax over the years is an extremely considerable amount of income, and the auction house alone is worth several years' income from other towns. Every year, just taking out a fraction of these huge incomes is enough to let the people of Wuyi live without worrying about food and clothing.
The prince and his entourage have been resting for two days in Wuyi Town, but the team is still busy purchasing all kinds of local gifts.
The goods of this Wuyi town are also extremely popular in the capital, especially the various kinds of porcelain produced here, which have become hard currency in the homes of the officials and eunuchs in the capital.
Dragon City Wang Yan and the two of them went together, preparing to go to the core auction hall in the center of the town to visit, saying that they were going to visit, but in fact, Long Cheng just wanted to take his master brother to this auction hall for a long time.
For the background of this master brother, Long Cheng couldn't be clearer. It is not easy for a child from a small place to be mixed like this in the palace.
Even if it is a soil leopard, it is understandable, but if you have been a reasonable earth leopard in the future, it will be a big mistake.
This time, the first is that this dragon prince hasn't shopped for a long time, and he wants to squander it today, and the second is to buy something for his own senior brother and his mother, and do his best.
The ideal is very beautiful, and the two brothers squandered it in this prosperous Wuyi Town, and they are very happy to think about it.
It's just that these two people are walking on the street today, and their brains are not good. Especially Wang Yan, the aisle is straight in circles, as if he has drunk too much.
All this is thanks to the chemical experiment done by Liu Yan'er and Miss Yan'er yesterday.
After a dose of fierce medicine, the people in this room were stunned and slept from the afternoon of the first day to the morning of the second day, and the two of them naturally woke up first when they were in better health, but now it is estimated that the little chicken leg is still asleep in bed.
Wang Yan heard in the morning that the two of them were almost detoxified by dung water yesterday, and he was afraid for a while. In case my beautiful master has some bad taste on weekdays......
The current Longcheng Wang Yan and the others, except for looking a little green on their faces and a little shaky when they walk, they can be regarded as normal people.
The distance to the core auction house was not close, and the two rented a horse-drawn carriage in the city for traffic.
Usually walking is fine, no adverse reactions. It's just that when I got into the carriage, I couldn't help but vomit wildly in my stomach.
The carriage walked on the road like an airplane pulling a string, and others who didn't know thought that the horse was sparse.
It was easy to wait until they had vomited the contents of their stomachs clean, and the two of them began to ease up their confusion.
The coachman sitting in front of the carriage glanced back at the two of them and said lightly.
"Two sons, two hundred ...... on the cart"
Long Cheng was annoyed, so he hurriedly waved his hand to let the coachman leave quickly.
"You go quickly, you. ”
The coachman turned his head and muttered again.
"It's two hundred ...... to go."
Naturally, these two hundred do not refer to two hundred taels of silver, and if it is like this, it is too dark.
Two hundred here refers to two hundred big coins, which can be combined with two coins of silver, which is not cheap for such a short distance.
The magnates of the new country did not like to ride in the carriage much, the first is the bumps, and the second is that it is really indecent to sit behind the horse's buttocks.
Maybe one day the horse has an uncomfortable stomach and farts and then the door curtain opens, or this horse has diarrhea along the way, many of this special circumstances are uncontrollable, and this beast still stinks, and it smells all over the body after pulling it.
For those in power, this is a great indecency.
If it is not a long journey, you will choose a sedan chair driver to carry the sedan chair when you go out on weekdays.
This is where there is this horse raising where it is expensive, these rich children, which family of the official eunuch does not raise a few strong sedan chair drivers to carry themselves out.
In the eyes of this group of rich children, the greatest elegance is to raise some people and instruct people to do the work of animals.
Along the way, staggering, staggering, it can be regarded as reaching the core auction house.
When the two got out of the car, the driver smiled at them with his big teeth.
"Two sons, two hundred dollars. “
Longcheng was impatient to be "reminded" by this little coachman along the way, and listened to the coachman's ink along the way. It was easy to talk to the two of them without ink, and asked Wang Yan and Longcheng to let them see if the clouds in the sky looked like two hundred big money......
"It's like a poop, okay, can you stop grinding, I'll give it to you!"
Long Cheng casually threw a small piece of silver to the coachman, less than one tael, but it was more than half a tael.
The good guy sent a trip, and the people rewarded him with half a cow money, a happy thing.
After a thousand thanks, it can be regarded as letting the coachman get out.
On the way, the two of them were already confused, and this guy chattered endlessly.
Wang Yan stood on the ground and stretched, looked at the huge building complex in front of him, and stabbed the dragon city beside him.
"Hey, Dragon City, are you sure this isn't the Imperial City?!"
Long Cheng looked at his senior brother and couldn't help laughing.
"Let's just say that I led you here this time because of my knowledge, and I returned to the Imperial City? “
Wang Yan turned his head to look at Long Cheng, and couldn't help but say secretly in his heart.
"Oh my God, can this be called a cowardice? This building looks much better than the Forbidden City in my previous life. ”
This core auction house is located in this building, and the so-called core auction house is not the name of one of the auction houses, but refers to the one hundred and eight auction houses located in the core area of Wuyi Town.
This so-called auction hall sounds very high, and the division of labor is also different. In this Wuyi Town, the audience is not only right, but also has a lot of business.
Even ordinary people can come to this auction house and buy something they like with the few taels of silver in their pockets.
As one of the most powerful families in the new country today, the Long family has wanted to settle in Wuyi Town many times and place their own industries and eyeliner in this most prosperous place in the northwest.
But without exception, none of them succeeded. In Wuyi, he pays attention to seniority, and he is also very xenophobic. If the family does not own a local property for more than 100 years, even if it does settle in the property, it will go out of business in a short period of time.
Moreover, whether it is the surrounding business areas or the one hundred and eight auction houses in the core, they all have a common boss above their heads.
This boss's surname is Feng, the Feng of the Feng family.
If the children of rich families show their tokens before entering the auction hall, they can be placed in a very good position, like the face of the Long family in Dragon City, and there will be a private room waiting for them alone wherever they go to any store.
I came to a decent-looking auction house, and this auction house was called Long Teng.
Wang Yan stood under this plaque and couldn't help but feel like a sudden world. Long Teng, isn't that the name of the hotel downstairs in my house?
The little guy who received at the door took the token handed to him by Long Cheng and was stunned for a moment, and then bowed deeply.
"It turned out to be Mr. Long, please ...... in your private room"
Wang Yan and Longcheng were led by this little guy to the Tianzihao private room on the second floor.
This private room has a large window that faces the auction house.
At this time, the auction has not yet begun, and the seats below are also being filled one after another.
There is no need to instruct, there are many maids in this private room, and a plate of melons, fruits, pears and peaches, all kinds of snacks, drinks, meals and so on are placed on a full table.
After Wang Yan saw it, he raised his eyebrows and said to the maid who was the leader.
"I'm sorry, we didn't ask for these things......"
Long Cheng listened to it beside him, and couldn't help but puff out of his breath and said to the group of maids.
"It's okay, you guys go down first, you don't need anyone to serve here. ”
The dozen or so maids bowed slightly towards Long Cheng, and then retreated one after another.
Long Cheng sat on a chair, holding the teacup in both hands, and looked at Wang Yan like a fool.
"This is the filial piety in their store, Wang Yan will come to this kind of place in the future, you must talk less, and it will be good for you to talk less. ”
Wang Yan was speechless for a while, he really looked like an old hat who had just entered the city from the countryside......
There is also fire in my heart, and I am good at a little Dragon City.
"You kid can do ......"
I complained secretly in my heart.
"You kid doesn't know that this wool comes from the sheep......"
At this moment, it was located in the Phoenix King Hall at the very core of the core auction hall.
An old woman in her seventies trembled and held a piece of paper and carefully studied it in front of the candle on the table.
This paper is the rubbing of the Long family token, and I don't know when this little guy was printed on this paper.
"That's right, little Wuzi, this person is really a little ghost from the Long family. Come on, reward a hundred taels of silver. “
This little fifth son is the little guy who just led Dragon City upstairs.
After Xiao Wuzi took the heavy one hundred taels of silver, he hurriedly knelt down and thanked the old woman for a thousand thanks.
"Thank you, Ancestor. “
"Okay, little five, you go back first, the kid of the Long family has to be well served, be careful. “
"Obey ......"
After this little guy went out, a shadow suddenly flashed behind this old ancestor. I saw this figure swaying and bowing down towards this old ancestor.
"Meet our ancestors. “
"It's Yingying, what......'s the matter?"
Yingying knelt on the ground, looking a little hesitant to speak.
"Back to the old ancestor, Yingying heard that the people of the Long family ......"
When the old ancestor heard this, his face was a little displeased, and he snorted coldly.
"Don't mention the matter of the Long family from now on, and don't contact the people of the Long family, okay, you go down. “
"Yes......"
Private room.
Wang Yan was eating grapes while chatting with Long Cheng.
In the mouth of Long Cheng, I learned that the reason why this Wuyi is so prosperous is also because of the relationship between the owner of this Wuyi Town and the current royal family.
The ancient wealthy family of the Feng family, as early as in ancient times, the Feng family was a famous family all over the world, not just the rich party, all dynasties and dynasties could find out the contributions made by the Feng family in the history books.
It can be said that what is recorded in the existing history books is almost equivalent to the history of the Feng family.
Even the current emperor has a relationship with the Feng family, which is thicker than water.
There is no undefeated dynasty in the world, and there is no eternal giant.
The Feng clan finally declined more than 200 years ago, and in the end, the capital cities from the capital to the whole country have long since lost the place where the Feng family lived.
At that time, the Feng family had to gather the forces scattered throughout the country, came to this barbaric place in the northwest, and built such a Wuyi town.
The power of the Feng family at the beginning was even better than that of the current Long family, but thousands of years have passed, and it has been mixed into such a field, and Long Cheng, as one of the heirs of the Long family in the future, is really a little touched by what happened to the Feng family.
I am also embarrassed that the Feng family has landed in such a field now.
But when he arrived at Wang Yan, he didn't think there was anything wrong with falling down this step of the field, and muttered in his heart.
"This is called such a field, this is called getting rid of poverty and becoming well-off. ”
