At this moment, in the middle of the Shang Mansion.

Shang Li was racking his brains to check and reconcile the accounts, and his heart was in turmoil.

"Not enough...... Alas, it's really strange, I suddenly found that the accounts are a bit wrong, is the amount of rhubarb eaten so much?"

"Miss, are you checking the accounts?" asked Green-clothed as she stepped forward.

"I'm taking stock of the warehouse to see if the inventory in the merchant mansion can make the rhubarb break through to the ground lock double ......" Shang Li's face bulged like a small bun, and it seemed to be very nerve-wracking.

"There are all common ones, but some rare medicinal materials have to spend a lot of money to entrust pharmacists to find them slowly. ”

"Who made rhubarb such a rare qualification as Jiuli's capital now?, Miss, aren't you angry with him now?"

"Of course I'm still angry, he has such a big appetite, it's hard to feed, it's better than an ant. ”

"Rhubarb, this time you can be regarded as having made a name for yourself in the entire Yongcheng, yesterday the Ling family also sent a messenger to the door to send a fortune of 4,000 gold...... It is said that it is a little respect for you to rhubarb, and it is also a little caution for the merchants. ”

"I didn't expect Lao Ling to be so generous...... This time, you really sent me such a large sum of money to buy me......" Ji Qing muttered to himself, and at the same time had to admire Ling Hao's generosity, and quietly took out a huge sum of four thousand gold, which can not only help himself, but also make a good business, it can be said that he can kill multiple birds with one stone, this guy's abacus is really loud.

However, after coming back, I also saw a lot of shops and pharmacies opened by the Ling family, and the prices were much cheaper than other shops, which was acceptable to everyone, so that now the fame has gradually become bigger, although the merchants and pharmacists in Yongcheng are dissatisfied, but they dare not express it openly, what if they are hated and retaliated by the Ling family?

Although the Ling family made a windfall this time by taking advantage of the reason for the opening of the regular festival, it was indeed a sensation to take out 4,000 gold and send it directly to the Shang Mansion at once.

"In addition, the reward for this ritual sacrifice has also been handed down, and it is as much as 100 gold, well, it is the pile in front of you, do you want to count the number?"

"Huh, this thing...... The weight is not right, this is not gold, this is brass, right, Brother Wei?" Ji Qing keenly sensed that the quality of this thing was obviously not as heavy as gold, and it should be a trading item used to replace gold.

"What do you think it is? It's really gold? In my Daqin, gold is rare to see, and almost all of us in Yongcheng use brass instead of gold for trading. ”

"I see. ”

Currency trading in this era also stayed in a very primitive stage, although various metals to replace gold began to appear one after another, but in fact, precious metals were still used to replace hard currencies such as gold, and they still belonged to the category of "barter".

A slave, some daily necessities, maybe only a sheepskin can be bought, Baili Xi was brought back by Qin Mugong with a sheepskin, and this era must not be high-end.

"Uh...... Brother Wei, this piece is so big, it's not appropriate to just take it out and use it like this, right?"

But then again, gold production at this time is extremely rare, unless you bring a map of mineral resources, let alone gold mines, iron ore can not be found.

At this time, the natural environment is also relatively primitive and complex, so you can't go around digging mountains and rivers, burning forests and hunting, right?

Therefore, the use of brass bronze instead of gold as currency is actually quite valuable, but it is ...... The weight is terrible, and it may take several people to lift it when making a transaction.

"If you don't want to use it now, then store it in the treasury of the merchant government, and when you want to spend it, you can go to the account office and withdraw the scattered copper coins. ”

In the final analysis, brass bronze is only a form of currency transaction used to replace gold in this era, and copper five-baht coins are the most popular currency trading items in the Qin State.

"Besides, now that the Ling family has given you such a big gift, you can also store it in the treasury, and if you lack something in the future, you can go to the market to buy it yourself. ”

"Yes, I've been here for so long, and I haven't had time to visit Yongcheng. ”

Now that he has made a name for himself in Yongcheng and is considered a celebrity, he naturally no longer needs to stay in the merchant mansion as an ostrich like before.

"It's ...... Kapok?" Ji Qing quickly noticed this thing in the market.

Historically, cotton was introduced to China from India in the Song Dynasty, before the Song Dynasty, the magnates generally used clothes made of kapok to keep out the cold, and the people at the bottom did not have kapok, so they could only have two more paper clothes.

"Please send ten jars of wine to the Shang Mansion...... You should know the location, right?"

The liquor of this era is not as easy to intoxicate as the liquor of later generations, the alcohol content is relatively low, but if you drink too much, you will still get drunk.

Ji Qing also bought some small gifts by the way, after all, the people in the Shang Mansion took good care of him, and this time he made a long face for the Shang Mansion, and the diners of the Shang Mansion are now in awe of Ji Qing.

"Hmm...... I bought a few jars of wine for Brother Wei, bought some rouge gouache for Sister Green, and got kapok...... The prices in this era are quite cheap, and it is just enough to fulfill the previous promise to make a small hood for Miss Shang. ”

Ji Qing was already so excited in his heart at this moment, the only thing that was not very convenient was that in addition to brass and bronze in this era, the remaining copper coins were either shoddy, or different shapes, or different prices, and it was really troublesome to calculate the accounts.

"Please stop fighting!"

"Did you catch the thief who stole the herbs?"

"I stole the precious medicinal materials in the shop, what else do you have to say now? Pretend to be pitiful, this yellow essence is a precious medicinal material, and you almost got it!"

Ji Qing looked at it, and it was actually a group of people watching a little girl being whipped by a pharmacy guy.

"I took the prescription to my pharmacy to grab the medicine, and when I saw that I couldn't afford to pay for the medicine, I wanted to run away after grabbing the medicine, I really don't know whether to live or die, give me a hard beating!" The owner of the pharmacy on the side didn't seem to be angry, and let the guy continue to fight.

"Yes, sir!"

"Stop!" Ji Qing grabbed the whip.

"You...... Who are you?"

"If you have something to say, the reason why this little girl stole the medicinal herbs must be because there are relatives at home who are sick, can you tell me?" Ji Qing said and protected the poor little girl behind her.

"What kind of thing are you? Offending my lord doesn't have any good fruit to eat!"

"Stand down, you cheap slave, how can you scold Ji Qinggongzi?" The pharmacy owner had obviously heard of Ji Qing, and he reacted quickly at the moment, and directly scolded his guy.

"In Xia Taozhu, running a pharmacy in Yongcheng, I don't want to meet Ji Gongzi today, the pharmacy guy is not sensible, he collided with Gongzi before, and asked Gongzi not to worry about him. The owner of the pharmacy named Tao Zhu is also a smart person, so he lowered his posture easily, believing that Ji Qing would also give him a step down.

He ...... He is the new leader of the Yongcheng Festival...... "This time it's the turn of the pharmacy guy to be afraid, in this era, if the master's house slave collides with the nobleman, if the guest is unhappy, the house slave will probably die on the spot."

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding crowd was boiling.

"This is the Ji Qing who made Chaofeng fly to the sky before?"

"Yubi inscription, Ji Qing who wrote heroic words?"

"It's the princess who makes the noble girl fall in love, sisters, come out and take a look. ”

"They all say that he looks better than his son, and his face is pressed by Longyang. ”

"Really? Let me see. ”

The scene is vigorous and vigorous, and there are many Qinglou women who open the windows to tease Ji Qing with all kinds of sweet words, which makes Ji Qing very embarrassed.

"Ouch...... What a mess of names, and...... How long has it been since I've been so famous?"

Wei Baiqi said that he was famous in Yongcheng before, but it was not an exaggeration, it was really famous.

At this time, in the crowd, there were two more whispers:

"Childe, what now? We're being targeted. ”

"It's okay, let's take a look around. ”

"But...... The people on Jiang Jingzhi's side are still ......"

"What are you afraid of? If they want to see it, let them see more, and we are not in a hurry to go back to the house now, besides, I have been bleeding so much to help Lao Ji this time, if he can't handle this little thing well, how can he continue to be a partner in the future." ”

"Xuanqing understands, listen to the son. ”。

"That's good. ”

“......”
