The eating area on the third floor is almost all young men and women, in addition to the group of high-end gentlemen of Kaimengyun, there are also countless princes and princes, officials and wealthy businessmen's children, who also came to cheer for the Qinghe Marquis, all of them were attracted by this completely open layout and eating style, and they were extremely excited to sit around the table to eat, drink, chat and fart, and every food had to be bought to taste, and the noisy sound made the whole mall tremble and shake.

Chen Xu inspected the first and second floors, chatted with some officials and rich people he knew for a while, and then went up to the third floor, and was almost rushed by the noise inside.

"Over here, Master Hou is coming~!" Meng Yun and a group of gentlemen sat around a table, each eating a handful of skewers with their mouths full of oil, and saw Chen Xu come up and wave and shout together.

And when Chen Xu walked over, looking at the table full of dishes and cups and the bamboo sticks stacked on the table, his face instantly darkened.

Nima, most of this is white food that doesn't cost money, and it seems that the third floor is going to lose money today.

However, he stood at the door for more than half an hour, and chatted with the princes and princes who came to cheer on the first and second floors, and he was indeed a little hungry at this time, so Chen Xu raised his hand to call a maid and made himself a piece of black pepper steak.

"Where is my sister-in-law going?" Meng Yun leaned back on the back of the chair and rubbed his belly and hummed.

"Today's commercial building opens, such a lively situation, are you waiting here to eat and drink Benhou's food for nothing, go, go with Benhou to go elsewhere!"

"What Hou Ye said is that a certain person is about to vomit, go walk around to eliminate food, and come back to eat later......"

"Yes, you can also take a look at the big and small ladies who came to play!"

"Hurry up, let's go, I'll have to eat three more black pepper steaks later......"

A group of gentlemen touched their bellies, pinched their throats, and all of them staggered to their feet, and every time they said a word, Chen Xu's face became a little darker.

Daily necessities, clothing, snacks, handicrafts, leather goods......

More than 200 shops opened in one building at the same time, and with the tens of thousands of tourists who came to play and shop, the people of Daqin had never seen such a lively commercial scene.

Chen Xu and a group of gentlemen wandered around upstairs and downstairs in the commercial building, everywhere they passed was crowded and bustling crowds and noisy and noisy sounds, the whole Keju field was like a hornet's nest, almost everyone was carrying one or several shopping bags in their hands, and the names on the shopping bags were also varied, but it can be seen that this kind of shopping bags were all learned from Qinghe store, and now it has almost become a shopping fashion, and after entering the commercial building, it seems that you will feel shameless if you don't carry one or two pockets in your hands.

"It's hilarious, it's so lively!"

"Look, whose little lady is that, the white legs in the short skirt are convex and backward and tempting!"

"Wow, so-and-so's saliva is coming down, I really want to go up and touch it!"

"Hehe, if you dare to touch it, you will have five hundred dollars!" Meng Yun laughed dryly.

"Okay, you wait, let's go touch it!" Qi Lao Er rubbed his fists and squeezed forward.

"Second Qi, I advise you to widen your eyes and see clearly, that little lady seems to be the concubine of Jianchenghou, who only married home last month!" One of them grabbed Qi Er's arm.

"Uh~" Qi Lao Er shuddered, and then took a few closer glances and then muttered, "Jiancheng Hou is almost sixty years old, and he is still so sassy, is it so delicate for a little lady to marry and back!" ”

"Hehe, Li Si was almost seventy years old and could still seven or eight a night, what are you worried about others doing?"

"Yes, but I heard that Li Si had taken some kind of domineering magic medicine to help the fun, but unfortunately I didn't know the reason when I asked everywhere!" Qi Lao'er's expression was a little depressed, and then his eyes suddenly lit up and he grabbed Chen Xu, "Does Master Hou know where you can get that kind of magic medicine to help fun?" ”

"If you don't want to live, I can naturally help you get some, so that you can die overnight, have you forgotten that Li Si vomited blood on the belly of his wife and concubine and fell into a coma!" Chen Xu rolled his eyes.

"That'...... That's it! Qi Lao Er wilted in an instant, and a group of gentlemen also shivered and stopped mentioning this matter.

A group of people wandered around in the crowd and came to the leather goods area.

Most of the leather goods sold are foreign merchants, these merchants spend most of the time in the northeast and northwest and Hun Hu dealings, in addition to the common cattle and sheep batch goods, there are rare and precious leather goods produced in Liaodong Hun Hu and the southeast of the country, there are rhino elephants, cattle, bears and leopards, tigers and wolves, ferrets, sand foxes and other uncommon varieties in the Central Plains, in the past, rhino elephants and cattle and even cattle and sheep and other leather goods are required to be handed over, but after the implementation of the new commercial law, these leather goods have been forcibly collected by the imperial court, but to buy from the leather merchants as needed, There is also a large-scale disarmament, the demand for leather armor has plummeted by half, and the leather goods accumulated in warehouses around Daqin are still enough to support the equipment of hundreds of thousands of troops, plus after the conquest of Hun Hu and Yueshi, a large number of leather goods flooded the Central Plains, Daqin has no shortage of materials for making leather armor, and the time is ripe to open up the leather goods market to meet the daily needs of the people.

At present, the people of Daqin only wear and sleep in sackcloth, if there is no leather goods to make clothes, the people in the northwest are very difficult to endure in winter, and letting go of leather goods is also a very important method and means to solve the problem of the common people in winter.

And the leather goods area is not only selling leather goods, there are a large number of colorful precious feathers, red, yellow, blue and green, many merchants use these feathers to weave exquisite feather crowns and feather capes, wear them on the body like a birdman as cool, this is just this fashion Chen Xu is unacceptable, but a group of gentlemen like it very much, in the leather area to walk around, several gentlemen are wearing a feather crown, the long feathers are swaying through the market, eye-catching in the crowd, only to see Chen Xu full of black lines.

"Hey, what kind of fur is this, it's so beautiful!"

In a shop called Xiyue Fur Goods, a speckled snow-white leopard skin hanging on the wall caused a crowd of onlookers to watch and marvel, and at this time, several guests in gorgeous costumes were gathering in front of the leopard skin to discuss silently.

"Get out of the way, this leopard skin Ben Gongzi bought it!"

A gentleman pushed away a few men in fancy clothes, grabbed the leopard skin and shouted.

"First come, first served, understand!" A man in fancy clothes blew his beard and glared at him.

Gao Laosan pointed to his nose and asked suspiciously: "Don't you recognize this son?" ”

"Hey, Xianyang dares to call the son, only the emperor's heir, and I heard that all the sons are the dragon and phoenix among the people, and the etiquette is thorough, you are full of feathers, are you full of birds?" Another man in fancy clothes, with black hair and long beard, also pouted in disdain.

"Wow, I'm!" Gao Lao jumped angrily, rubbing his fists and grinding his palms and was about to move his fists, but Chen Xu grabbed his wrist and said cheekily, "Others are right, shopping comes first, first come, if you have money, you can buy it if you don't have money, if you are like you, you will buy and sell, how will others do business!" ”

"This Lang Jun ...... Could it be ...... Qinghe Hou? One of the several men in fancy clothes looked at Chen Xu, and his face suddenly changed drastically.

"Yes, it's Ben Hou!" Chen Xu put down Gao Laosan's fist and nodded with a smile.

"It's really Qinghe Hou, I don't know Mount Tai if I have eyes, and I hope that Hou Ye will forgive my sins!" Several men in fancy clothes were pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly bowed together.

"Are you from Xianyang?"

"No, no, we are a merchant from Liaodong, this time I came to Xianyang on the order of the King of Liao, and planned to exchange some valuables such as pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and glass porcelain that are in short supply in Liaodong with medicinal materials and leather goods. The middle-aged man who said that Gao Laosan was a birdman hurriedly replied respectfully.

The King of Liao, naturally the prince of the seal last year, was the general Lu, and through the tone of the businessman, Chen Xu probably guessed that these people were all Northeast merchants who took refuge in the King of Liao.

Liaodong is a bitter cold land, the land is vast and sparsely populated, there is not even a decent city, although the Songnen Plain is China's main grain-producing area in later generations, but now it is still a primeval forest, sandwiched between the Changbai Mountain and the large and small Xing'an Mountains, the Songhua River Nenjiang Impact Plain is fertile and suitable for farming, but it has to be said that it is still a place outside the fan, the geographical location is outside the Yan Great Wall, and the population of Daqin is not enough to migrate a large number of immigrants to develop.

And the King of Liao, who was sent to guard Donghu, guarded such a large piece of feng shui treasure, but at present, it is not as high as King Liang, because the Hexi Corridor is the only channel for Daqin to attack the West, and the geographical location is important, so the emperor is very attentive, and King Liang almost gives whatever the emperor wants, not only arranging mutual trade on the border, but also ordering the three provinces and six departments to mobilize a large amount of material support, and after conquering the countries of the Western Regions, there are caravans coming and going with each other almost every day, and the Yueshi guarded by King Liang has become very lively. The county towns of Wuwei and Dunhuang have also begun to be built, and in time, these two cities will become important nodes between the East and the West, and prosperity is just around the corner.

But Liaodong is different, not only the emperor can't look down on it, but the Manchu Dynasty can't look down on the civil and military, and even Chen Xu can't look down on it a little.

The Northeast is different from the Western Regions, the current Daxing'an Mountains area is a complete primeval forest, and the Siberian Plain in later generations is now no one knows, and it is more primitive and barbaric, after killing the Donghu and Xiongnu, there is not much need for the northwest and northeast to continue to expand outward, mainly because the population is not sufficient, and even Liaodong cannot be completely controlled at present.

After dividing Lu to Liaodong, he also arranged for envoys to come to Xianyang several times to ask for the emperor's support, but obviously the support was very small, and some grandmothers didn't love the taste that their uncles didn't love, so the Liao King General Lu could only make money to support his family first, and arranged a large number of caravans to bring Liaodong specialties to the Central Plains to buy urgently needed materials.

After a few Northeast businessmen reported their homes, Chen Xu was also very interested in chatting with them, and by the way, he also learned about some of the situation after King Liang arrived in Liaodong, and also asked some things about the development of Liaodong.
