Qingcheng County only has the East City, and most of the merchants in the city are concentrated here. There are many shops on both sides of Dongshi Street, and the two largest of them are Shi Daxing's Xinglongji and Hao Donglai's Longchangji.

It is said that there are two, but in fact, many shops have been opened, and there are all kinds of silk and porcelain goods from the south and grain from the north. Nowadays, most of the businessmen are still very honest, and there are also those who steal and cheat, and the irony is that the businessmen who have the courage to cheat and cheat are basically successful people, such as Shi Daxing and Hao Donglai.

The prosperity of the era is all the rage, but it is no longer the simplicity and unpretentiousness of the early Tang Dynasty, but on the surface, prosperity is prosperity, which is incomparable to the early Tang Dynasty.

The land of Shuzhou is adjacent to Tubo in the west, the Western Regions in the north, and Nanzhao in the south, although Qingcheng County is only the county seat, the streets of the East Market are also crowded, the Hu merchants and Tubo merchants who come and go from the south to the north lead camels and horses, wear all kinds of strange clothes, and the merchants of the East City compete with each other, and occasionally you can see the short-tempered businessmen directly get started, beat and kick the Hu merchants, hate and scold a few words of vulgarity and barbarism, the Hu merchants have fought back, and there are also those who swallowed their anger, and finally the two sides still returned to the theme and continued to bargain.

Today, the streets of Higashishi are especially lively.

A row of long tables was set up in front of the door, and the tables were filled with porcelain of various shapes, from porcelain bowls and plates for daily use to amphorae vases, Boshan incense burners, etc., most of the porcelain was celadon, which was refracted by the sunlight and showed a smooth and soft light like a glass texture, full and luxurious.

There is also a small dish next to the porcelain, on which are some porcelain fragments, the so-called layman looks lively, the insider looks at the doorway, many passers-by are amazed by the beauty and fineness of this batch of porcelain, there are already experts in the Hu businessmen who stepped forward to pick up the porcelain fragments, carefully look at the inner tube of the fragments, this detail is unwilling to put down for a long time.

There is no need for exaggerated publicity, the quality of the porcelain is obvious to the insider. So the door of the two shops suddenly became a sensation, and countless Hu merchants and Tubo merchants shouted hoarsely to meet the shopkeeper and talk about a big deal.

Everything is developing in a good direction, in the inner courtyard of the shop, Shi Daxing and Hao Donglai are so happy that they can't keep their mouths together, they look at each other in pairs, and once again glance at the millennium, in the face of huge interests, the former hatred seems to have faded a lot.

On the surging Dongshi Street, there were two men dressed as peasant farmers staring coldly at the row of porcelain in front of the two shops, looking at the Hu merchants who were scrambling to discuss the deal, and the two men showed jealous eyes.

"This should be fired from the newly built porcelain kiln in Shiqiao Village, right?" A man asked.

Another man snorted and said: "I have always heard about Shiqiao Village for more than a month, I thought it was just a kiln for firing pottery, but I didn't expect that even porcelain could be burned, and I hooked up with the two largest businessmen in Qingcheng County." ”

"Brother, I heard that Shiqiao Village is short of manpower, many villagers in our neighboring villages have inquired, people don't seem to collect chores, and the chores are given to the villagers of their village...... Shiqiao Village is getting rich when it looks like it, and many girls in the boudoir in our village have quietly asked the matchmaker to go to Shiqiao Village to say goodbye, alas. ”

The older man's expression became more and more jealous: "I heard that it was a pottery kiln built by a baby named Gu Qing, and it was also his idea to cooperate with two merchants." ”

"Gu Qing? Could it be the ...... at the beginning?"

"That's right, the young man who the Ding brothers invited us to teach, and then he ran fast, let's burn his house, it's him."

The man was amazed: "A teenager can actually do such a big thing, amazing!" ”

The older man seemed to be very dissatisfied with his three views, and frowned: "What's so powerful?" It's just a teenager, something happened by mistake, the Ding brothers are also waste, the man with a big waist and a round waist was cleaned up by a small teenager, and he was actually sold, I thought about this for several days and didn't figure it out, how he sold the Ding brothers. ”

Another man still looked at the crowd of people in front of him with envy on his face, and sighed: "Even if I only do odd jobs, I have a penny a day to take care of a dry meal, if I take this job, no matter how hard I am, I will be happy to save two months' money, even if I don't farm next year, I won't be hungry." Brother, can you find a way to ask someone to go to Shiqiao Village to talk about it? I work hard. ”

The older man became more and more angry, snorted heavily, and said, "Don't forget that we burned down his house, and the villagers of Shiqiao Village have seen us, do you think he will agree?" Besides, why should we ask him? Wouldn't it be okay to grab what you like? No matter how rich Shiqiao Village is, there are only some old people and widows in the village, let's bring some young people over to make some trouble, are we afraid that Gu Qing will not obediently give us money? ”

"That's ...... Not okay? If it makes a big fuss, the government will not let it go, Gu Qing and those two businessmen are rich, if we make a difference, we will suffer a big loss. ”

The older man's eyes flashed: "Then change the way, listen to the people in the other village, Gu Qing's kiln mouth porcelain is a secret recipe, he let people fence around the kiln mouth, just to prevent outsiders from checking, if we take the young people in the village to go straight to the kiln, rush in to see what is going on, and then turn around and run, even if it is in the county court, I didn't steal and rob, I only looked at it twice, and the county order can't sentence me to a felony, and after I come out, I will also build a kiln to burn porcelain as it is, and find a businessman to partner, ha!" Isn't it beautiful to live a good life in a bright and bright way? ”

The other man was stunned by his thoughts, and stared at him for a long time without saying a word.

"The more I think about it, the more I think it's a good idea, let's go, go back to the village to find people, find more young people, and I'm not afraid that the old, weak, sick and disabled people in Shiqiao Village will dare to stop us."

…………

Gu Qing came to the porcelain kiln a lot of times, after all, he had nothing to do, except for this only ceramic business, he spent the rest of his time with Song Gensheng boring, and there was more time to pass the time, so the behavior of passing the time became boring.

Two adults can't squat under the tree every day to watch the ants move, it's funny, but there's always a faint shame.

So in addition to passing the boring time, Gu Qing mostly went up the mountain to deliver food.

The potters and craftsmen invited by Hao Donglai were arranged on the flat land on the west side of the kiln, where houses were being built, and the porcelain kiln within the fence was handed over to Uncle Han and some villagers in this village, all of whom were of reliable character. The job of Uncle Han and the villagers is to add coal to the kiln.

Within the fence is a forbidden area, Gu Qing told the potters and craftsmen a long time ago, everyone knows that Gu Qing is not easy to mess with, no one dares to disobey his words, Uncle Han and the craftsman have always gotten along with each other without interfering, and they don't even eat together, and the potter and the craftsman are their own partners.

Gu Qing sent the meal mainly to Uncle Han and the villagers, the Yang family's mother and daughter cooked the meal, Gu Qing carried the burden up the mountain, which can be regarded as Gu Qing's exercise for himself, after coming to this world, Gu Qing found more and more that violence is actually very important. And the way to increase your strength is to exercise your body, increase your physical strength, and make yourself more violent.

Every time Gu Qing sent food up the mountain, Uncle Han looked flattered, rubbed his hands and stepped forward, hurriedly took over Gu Qing's burden, and said kind words such as "The owner has worked hard, I dare not be ashamed".

When Uncle Han and the villagers were eating, Gu Qing squatted next to them, watching them eat with a smile, and chatting for a while after eating, Gu Qing went down the mountain with empty bowls and plates.
