Xia Dehai sent Liang Chuan and his party through Wan'an Ferry, he really wanted to follow Liang Chuan to do something big, but unfortunately Liang Chuan didn't know his details now and didn't accept him. Liang Chuan didn't completely dispel his thoughts, but just told him to live here and don't do anything wrong, if he needs someone like him with excellent water ability in the future, he will definitely come back to him.

After Wan'an Ferry, Liang Chuan looked back at the vast river, and remembered that a long bridge should be built in the future, how many people walked across this long bridge, the tide ebbed and fell last year, the river flowed eastward and the sea poured back, only this bridge survived forever.

The group didn't go far, and there were inns and villages on the side of the road, and there were more people. The fields on the side of the road are full of strangeness, although it is night, the frogs in the field are like a chorus, so lively. A few people found a hotel and rested, which was much more comfortable than spending the night in the field, at least there were not so many mosquitoes and flying insects.

Luocheng and Qingyuan are bounded by the Wan'an River, and after crossing the river, they will officially enter the border of Qingyuan County. The next morning, the group left early, and the scenery on the road was very different from that on the other side of the river. Quanzhou government under the jurisdiction of Qingyuan, Luocheng, Taocheng, Changkeng and other counties, the state capital is located in Qingyuan, so the city is also in Qingyuan, Qingyuan County county government is not far from the state government Weiyuan Building. The ancient city of Qingyuan is built with stone strips, and there is a moat outside, which seems to be in the shape of gossip, so the people also call this river gossip ditch. Outside the city has a lot of people gathered, a faction of prosperity has been faintly formed, the people live and work in peace and contentment, all kinds of industries are prosperous, the Quartet special products gather in Qingyuan, the southeast sea ship will continue to transport goods from all directions from the sea, the southeast shape is worthy of its name.

Qingyuan City was built at the end of the Tang Dynasty, after five generations of expansion, the original four gates became seven gates, namely Renfeng Gate, Yicheng Gate, Deji Gate, Chaotian Gate, Tonghuai Gate, Linzhang Gate, Tongjin Gate.

Liang Chuan and his entourage came from Xinghua in the northwest and entered the city from the Chaotian Gate of the North Gate. Thorn trees are planted all over the city, and small pale red flowers dot the branches, which are rare to see in other places. Liang Chuan came to this Quanzhou City in later generations, where there are so many thorn trees, and the green plants on both sides of the road, unlike now, the open space in the city is planted with thorn trees.

Liang Chuan took four people, and now he is not in the mood to look at the customs and customs, and the top priority is to find a place to settle down first and settle down the group first. Liang Chuan thought that he still owed himself a thousand yuan at Hussein's place, and he didn't have much money on his head, most of which was left to the artist's family, and it was easy to find this God of Wealth first.

Most of these foreigners are active near Qingyuan Port, and rarely go inland, because of the language barrier, and secondly, the court also has a relevant management system for these outsiders, and it is not that they can do whatever they want, and it is impossible to move around at will. Outsiders also like to hold together, if they fall in love, sooner or later it will be a hidden danger for the dynasty.

The court set up the city department to manage overseas trade, and then set up a Laiyuanyi to manage outsiders, and Laiyuanyi was subordinate to Honglu Temple, and the department was in charge of receiving and managing visitors and outsiders of ethnic minorities. These two institutions are close to the state government and belong to Qingyuan Dongyuan, above the East Street, which is also the most prosperous place where the state capital and the Qingyuan County government are located.

Compared with Fengshan, Xinghua is already a prosperous place, but compared with Qingyuan, there is a sky and an underground, and the scene is not worth mentioning. Even Shen Yuzhen and Ye Xiaochai were dazzled, the two of them were also people who had seen the world, and they were also shocked by the bustling scene of Qingyuan, there were countless jewelry and gadgets selling all kinds of jewelry on the street, rouge gouache and female red things were everywhere, and there were many styles of fragrant powder sachets and brocade as stars, and a few people had taken root under their feet, and they couldn't move around in front of the small stall.

Girls love beauty, and recruiting younger brothers is just greedy. The street is filled with the smell of meat, wheat and noodles, and the smoke soars down the chimney, giving people a warm and satisfying feeling. In front of the bakery, the oven in front of the cake shop has a tray made of bamboo, steamed cakes, wheat cakes, wide coke cakes, chrysanthemum cakes, mung bean cakes, ice cakes, and stuffed cakes that cannot be named. Qingyuan is rich in aquatic products, shrimp buns, crab roe buns are everywhere, and the residents in the past are full of seats, and everyone eats with oil at the corners of their mouths. Eat a bite of meat buns, drink two sips of tea, and scrape the oil and water in your stomach, and this is a meal.

Zongzi is a special snack in the Dragon Boat Festival, it is rare to see on weekdays, but Qingyuan County is full of meat dumpling shops, glutinous rice is made of fragrant rice dumplings wrapped in egg yolk and pork, vegetarian is sandwiched with shiitake mushrooms, cooked in the steamer, before the cage drawer is opened, the fragrance of glutinous rice has already drifted far away, provoking Zhao Di and Zhao Xiaopin to swallow saliva non-stop.

Liang Chuan looked at the appearance of a few people, he could only give a little money each, if he wanted to eat and play, he went to meet it first, he walked down along the way, and the two searched everywhere, just to find an empty house for rent, and quickly settled down first, and several people agreed to meet under the bell tower on East Street.

The streets are full of people, and there are really everyone, the black Kunlun slaves, that is, Africans, Indians in South Asia, locals can be seen everywhere, and there are many monks and Taoists, there are really all kinds of people, most of them are still business people, they either carry goods, or carry bags in a hurry, all for profit. Now is the time to enter winter, and when the north wind comes, a large number of sea ships will go south, and the current merchants will take advantage of this time to sell the goods to outsiders and seize the last opportunity of the year.

Liang Chuan walked down the East Street all the way, where are there idle shops on both sides of the avenue, and every household is happy to open the door to do business. Liang Chuan can only approach the side, there are several alleys on the side of East Street, one is called Gatehouse Lane, one is called Chengtian Lane, and there are several unknown alleys, although it is called an alley, but with the expansion of the city wall, it has long been close to the scale of East and West Street.

Liang Chuan walked into Chengtian Lane, the alley was full of people, and there was no more to go back. Liang Chuan walked to the middle of the alley, and happened to see a shop under a house, with a pair of copper locks hanging on the door, and a pair of large characters posted on the door: rent. The shop on the left side of the shop is quiet, and there is a large sign hanging at the door of the store: "Bi Ji." There are only many guys in the store who are drying books and paper, but the customers go but don't see a few. On the right is a gate, the door is broken and the wooden door is hidden, and it looks like the location of a large family, but this dilapidated scene is estimated to be almost defeated.

The shop on the left is full of depressed people, and they don't do a few things, where there is a half-minute open door to do business, and the whole place is full of vigor and vigor for others to do business, and this store is in great contrast. Liang Chuan approached and saw that many people in the store were holding wooden boards, holding carving knives on them, and some people in the store were brushing ink on the wooden boards, and then removing the paper and drying it.

Liang Chuan looked at it for a long time, and it turned out that this was a printing shop.

This industry is rare, but looking at this scene, it seems a little unpleasant. Liang Chuan looked into the house at the door for a long time, and no one came out to say hello, but Liang Chuan himself spoke first, found an older one, licked his face and asked, "The old man borrowed a step and said." ”

The old man was binding the booklet, but he didn't see Liang Chuan enter the door when he did it carefully, and he reacted when he asked: "Oh, there is a guest coming." Hurriedly put down his hand, took Liang Chuan to the side of the coffee table and sat down, and was about to entertain Liang Chuan.

"Uncle, please ask who is renting the house next to here, I see that there is a rental word written on it, and I intend to rent this house, if my husband knows that he is troubled, he will be informed." Liang Chuan sat down with the old man and asked.

"The house next door is also my family's property, but now I don't care about the old man, I will leave the matter to my son to take care of, you sit for a while, he will go outside to pick up the plank, and he will come back when he turns around." This old man didn't expect that it was still an old shopkeeper, since the power was handed over, it was his son who was in charge, so let's wait for his son.

This old man saw Liang Chuan's face, his accent was not like a local, and his speech was quite polite, and he had a good impression when they met for the first time. Brewed a bubble of loose tea for Liang Chuan, the tea soup was green, and asked with a smile: "Where is Xiaoyou from?" ”

Liang Chuan took a sip of tea and replied, "I am originally from Xinghua." "In fact, Liang Chuan doesn't know where the owner of his body wandered to Xinghua, but now he is registered in Xinghua, and he is a Xinghua person.

"Oh? A few days ago, I heard that there was a rebellion in Xinghua, and the momentum was quite big, and almost occupied Xinghua City, which made our Qingyuan people panic, I don't know if it's true or not? "The old man blows a good hand, and when he sees people, he picks up stubble, and picks and chooses to talk about the material, so as not to make the guests cold.

Speaking of this rebellion, Liang Chuan is the most vocal at the moment and does not hide his selfishness, making tea and telling stories, he told the story of the rebellion of the Xinghua mountain people, but his own heroic deeds were all omitted, but he exaggerated the momentum of the government, even so, it still made this old man stunned. The southerners have seen too few wars, all of them are fighting in the north, and the south wants to be stable, and if the south is in chaos, there will be no place for the world to live and live.

The two of them spoke happily, and at this time his son came back from outside, and as soon as he sat down, he scolded and scolded: "Damn, the price of these killings has risen again, and the price of the wooden board will increase by one percent now, and the deposit will be increased by one percent, and you have to talk about it again, if you can't do it, you can only change people into the board." ”

The shopkeeper's son is slightly older than Liang Chuan, his face is white and beardless, and he doesn't look like he is from a peasant family. He took a sip of tea and found that there was a customer in the shop, who was having a good conversation with his father.

"Who is this?" The owner's son asked softly.

"We've been waiting for you for a long time, this little brother plans to rent our shop, I have a good conversation with this Liangchuan friend, our shop has been idle for a long time, just right to rent it to him, what about you?" The old shopkeeper looked at his son and said.

"Yes!" The shopkeeper's surname is Bi, his name is rising, and his face is overjoyed: "My shop is actually a prosperous shop, just because my own family makes some ink printing books, many people dislike the smell of ink, look at it and see, has not been able to rent out, if you figure it out, I will hand over the key to you immediately!" ”

Liang Chuan smiled: "Where will there be any filth with the fragrance of books?" I'm a rough person, and I don't have ink in my stomach, which is not what I want, and it couldn't be better! ”
