If on weekdays. Party members, eunuchs, and relatives raised eyebrows and looked at each other coldly, and they were secretive. Unexpectedly, today he was in front of Linxianghou, a group of harmony.

At the end of the day, it's still profitable, and there's no stake.

As long as it does not involve political differences, conflicts of interests, and partisanship. They are all humble gentlemen and generous elders.

The hometown marquis is a nobleman of the Han family, and a heavenly unicorn. Living in a simple way, he never talked about the affairs of the court, and fell into partisan disputes. As Zhang Rang said, it is not hot to deal with it. No worries. Why not?

When Yuan Shao, Cao Cao, and Yuan Shu entered, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, who were on the big flat seat of the city building, waved their hands and let people guard the city gate. The market is open today, only congratulations, not open. Of course, if a pedestrian comes close to ask, the gatekeeper will tell him with a smile on his face. It is important to know that everyone who comes is a guest, and they are kind and wealthy. Don't scold your face and shake your official authority. Ruined the prince's business.

The circular commercial street is surrounded by heavy buildings on both sides and many shops. The first one to enter the door, two commercial buildings, across the street, opposite each other, the front of the door is hanging high. The left-handed book moves 'North and South Five Flavors'. The right hand book moves 'Du Kang Gongmi'.

The right hand is rice, needless to say.

The five-flavor shop on the left hand is the dry goods store of later generations.

The Han people's diet is mainly steamed, roasted, and boiled. The cooking methods are soup, broiling, cannon, decoction, boiling, boiling, boiling, 濯, 脍, 脯, wax, and 醢 (hǎi). Soup is a thick soup. Grilling is a skewer grill. The cannon is a pancake. Frying and boiling are similar, but a fire is made under the kettle to make it dry until cooked. Hao is steamed, wet is fried, the salt is raw food, the salted meat strips are salted and sliced, the bacon is baked and dried into jerky, and the sauce is meat sauce.

The five flavors of the north and south mainly sell meat sauce, fish sauce, sausage, dried carp, blue smoked ham, and so on.

Further on, I saw two shops across the street. The left-handed book moves 'Four Seasons Preserved Fruit'. The right hand book moves 'Songquan Ganlin'.

On the left is a snack shop where you buy preserved fruits. On the right, of course, is the Matsusen Liquor Specialty Store.

Further on, 'cold and warm washing', 'spring and autumn bedding'.

It's easy to understand. On the left, you can sell bath ware. On the right, you can sell Lou-sang bedding.

Located in the center of the circular shopping street, there are two spectacular buildings in the shape of "work".

The flag in the left hand is unfurled, and the lanterns are hung high. A huge plaque was erected in the middle of it, which reads 'Linxiang Department Store'. All the famous products of the countryside can be purchased here. There are three floors, the ground floor is for ordinary famous products, the second floor is for medium-grade famous products, and all the top luxury goods are displayed in the third floor. The two annex buildings on the left and right are berth buildings. It is used to park cars and horses. The entire building resembles a shopping mall in later generations.

On the right hand is the 'Golden Water Soup House', which has been open for a long time. Previously, only one floor of bathing was opened. The second floor of casual dining, the third floor of accommodation, has only recently been renovated. Before the market opens, the museum is open.

After passing through the 'Linxiang Department Store' and 'Jinshui Soup House', we have arrived at the back street of the small market.

The left hand is the 'gold water house', and the right hand is the gold water storehouse.

One is to sell antiques, calligraphy and paintings, gold, silver and jade, brocade clothes and quilts, and treasure armor and bows...... Pawnshops, generally speaking, the quality price is generally not more than half of the original price. Interest is payable upon redemption. If it is not redeemed at the end of the period, it will be sold by the pledge. In the early stage, the quality house was only open to the nobles of the family, and was not open to the people. There are also several principals. There are all kinds of Han and Hu barbarians. They are all well-informed and sharp-eyed. The Lord came and asked, "Can a slave be held hostage?"

Liu Bei shook his head resolutely. At the feet of the Son of Heaven, how can people be bought and sold openly?

In other words, why the sale of human beings is repeatedly prohibited nowadays is only because it is customary for wealthy families to keep slaves.

The causes and context of human trafficking are complex. There are both legal and illegal. The types can be divided into a variety of different trading methods, such as "self-selling", "selling and selling", "slightly selling", "plundering" and so on.

In terms of whether or not to redeem, it is divided into "live sale" and "absolute sale".

Live sale, that is, only the right to use is sold, and the right of redemption is retained, such as the "pawn wife" that is not uncommon nowadays. The right to use is sold to others, but the ownership is returned to the original allocation.

"Absolute sale" means that it is sold with full authority and cannot be redeemed. Nowadays, it is more common to sell live goods.

In ancient times, there were officials who were in charge of human transactions. Called "hostage". "Zhou Li, Local Officials": "The hostage is in charge of the city's goods and bribes, people, cattle and horses, weapons, chariots, and treasures. This means that the hostages were responsible for the buying and selling of goods, people, cattle and horses, weapons, chariots, and curiosities in the market. After the transaction, the 'pledge' (contract) is opened.

During the Western Han Dynasty, Gaozu once allowed the people to "sell their sons and daughters", and regarded it as a means of saving the famine. "Hanshu Food and Goods": "Han Xing, after the Qin Dynasty, the princes rose together, and the people lost their jobs and starved. There are 5,000 meters of stone, cannibalism, and more than half of the dead. Gaozu ordered the people to sell their sons, so they ate Shu Han. ”

Aware of the dangers caused by human trafficking, Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty issued several edicts prohibiting the trade of slaves and maids. In the second year of Jianwu (26 AD), the edict said: "People who marry wives and sell their children and want to return to their parents will listen to them." Dare to be stubborn, and talk about it like a law. ”

It should be noted that: The "people" here refers to the people of the Han Dynasty.

Opposite the pledge house is the treasury with the function of a bank. It is similar to the function of Lou Sang Library. It is used to store coins and issue mediocre gold. The loan function is temporarily unavailable.

Further on, there are 'Hundred Machines of Craftsmanship' and 'Gold and Jade Silver Building'.

One sells all kinds of advanced and sub-advanced machinery in Linxiang. One creates a variety of jewelry, gold and jade accessories.

Further on, there are the last two shops in Jinshui Market.

'Men's and women's ready-to-wear' and 'Four Seasons children's clothing'.

Both are ready-to-wear stores that make custom clothing, shoes and hats. This should be the first custom clothing store in history.

Nowadays, there are strict rules on the material, color, and even shape and accessories of clothing. No trespassing. Thereupon. Corresponding to the three-storey heavy building of the commercial premises. The commodities sold in Jinshui Market are divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. Take ready-to-wear stores as an example, the bottom layer customizes people's clothing. It is mainly blue and white. The second layer is set to be dressed by hundreds of officials, and the color tends to be gorgeous and colorful. The third layer is customized for the princes and nobles, and the materials are of high quality and gorgeous. Etcetera.

Clothing stores, from the main thing to the sewing people, are all striving for perfection and abiding by their duties. There will be no trespassing.

Because Jinshui Market is a circular commercial street, after entering the market, there are pedestrians at both ends of the ring street. On the left, "North and South Five Flavors" and "Du Kang Gongmi" are the heads, and "Men's and Women's Ready-to-Wear" and "Four Seasons Children's Clothes" are finished. On the contrary, "men's and women's ready-to-wear" and "four seasons children's clothing" are the first, and "north and south five flavors" and "Du Kang Gongmi" are finished.

How you walk is up to you.

The officials walked around, and someone sent a box of thanks. One for each person, and then he resigned to Liu Bei. They didn't mention it when they went home.

The three princes and nine kings are going to Liu Bei's mansion for a banquet.

Da Changqiu and Cao Jie, who was also the secretary of the book, was old and weak, and could not stay for a long time. Liu Bei returned early.

He Jin, who will be a master craftsman, has his eyes above the top. disdained to live under the three princes, and also said goodbye early. Liu Bei was kind enough to stay, and He Jin only said that they would meet again another day. Seeing that he had made up his mind, he sent him away.

Yuan Shao and other friends are accompanied by two brothers-in-law.

Then he and his teacher and others returned to the general's mansion by car and held a feast.
