Chapter 34 Toyoshu
The city gate of Fengzhou finally appeared in front of Zhao Ye and the others, Zhao Ye looked at the city in front of him, a little shocked,
Who is the center of gravity in the three northwestern states?
If it is Daizhou, but this Fengzhou City is too majestic!
Daizhou City is where the Qingwang Mansion is located, and it should be the center of gravity of the three northwestern states!
But Zhao Ye felt that Fengzhou seemed to give people a more affluent feeling.
It's not that the city of Daishu is not strong, but the city of Toyosu City makes people feel very rich.
What Zhao Ye didn't know was that the three states of Qingwangfu's fiefdom, Fengzhou, Daizhou and Liangzhou,
Although Liangzhou is the largest, the climate is cold, not suitable for planting, fortunately, there are thousands of miles of grassland, very suitable for raising horses, the Liangzhou horse farm in the big Wednesday horse farm is in Liangzhou, Liangzhou horse is famous all over the world.
Daizhou is not good or bad, but it is true that the people are strong.
Different from Liangzhou and Daizhou, Fengzhou is the richest among the three states, Fengzhou has many plains, and the land is fertile, the products are abundant, and the people are also the richest.
The reason why Toyosu is rich is not only because Toyosu produces grain, but also because of the geographical location of Toyoshu.
Fengzhou can go to the Western Regions in the west, and Xianzhou, which is guarded by the Xiao family in the east, can reach Goguryeo, and the merchants between these things must pass through Fengzhou if they move around, so it also creates the prosperity of Fengzhou's commerce.
With money, it will naturally increase its city defense,
Fengzhou and Xiaojia's Xianzhou are the two most brilliant pearls in the north of the Great Zhou.
The reason why Qingwangfu guards Daizhou instead of Fengzhou is not only because Daizhou is located in the center of the three states.
Also because Zhenbei Pass is less than thirty miles away from Daizhou, the military significance is much heavier than that of Fengzhou City, and Fengzhou is still a big rear!
After Zhao Ye and the others entered Fengzhou City, even if Zhao Ye had seen the scene in his previous life, he had to sigh at the prosperity of Fengzhou, the merchants of the Western Regions, the merchants of Goguryeo, and even the merchants of the Northern Barbarians shuttling through the streets......
Zhao Fu seems to be extremely familiar with Fengzhou, leading the way in front,
Zhao Ye is curious about everything he sees,
Luo Tianqing didn't seem to be interested in everything in front of him at all, since Zhao Ye was able to gallop on a horse, he had been riding on a horse and closing his eyes and recuperating without saying a word.
The three of them walked all the way to the center of the city, and when they came to an extremely prosperous street,
Looking at the dazzling array of goods in front of him, Zhao Ye seemed to think of something, tugged on the reins, and stopped.
As the saying goes, send goose feathers for thousands of miles, the gift is light and affectionate, I haven't seen you for six years, and you can't go empty-handed!
Don't the old people often say, don't stretch out your hand to hit the smiling person, and don't scold the gift giver!
So Zhao Ye decided to buy some gifts and go again.
Zhao Ye and the three of them took a turn on the most prosperous street in Fengzhou to see if there were any suitable gifts?
This street should be the most prosperous street in Fengzhou City, the street is full of traffic, it can be said to be extremely prosperous, compared to the street of Daizhou is more than that,
Turning around, Zhao Ye was curious to find that there were more than a dozen shops with a Huo Ji logo on their plaques, and it was obvious that these dozen or so stores were all owned by one person!
Zhao Ye sighed, on such a bustling street, there are actually more than a dozen shops, and the annual income is amazing!
Go back to the eldest sister and ask if it's so generous,
See if there is any possibility of cooperation?
Thousands of miles of gifts are only for money!
Not far away, Zhao Ye suddenly saw a rouge shop,
This rouge shop is full of people, and the business can be said to be very prosperous.
Zhao Ye looked up at the plaque, the Huo family's rouge shop,
Sure enough, it's still the Huo family.
Zhao Ye walked into the store, and a guy was enthusiastically introducing the rouge gouache in the store to the guests.
Listening to the clerk's explanation, Zhao Ye was shocked,
The rouge gouache in this shop is actually all transported from Jiangnan Zhixuan.
You must know that today's Jiangnan region is the territory of Nanwu,
This is no less than what was imported from a foreign country in later generations!
This is the standard daigou business!
In this age when the epistles can only be relied on chariots and horses,
The profits in this daigou business must be amazing.
Zhao Ye had to admire the behind-the-scenes owner of this shop,
Not only the head of the business is just now, but also the means are all over the world.
Zhao Ye also doesn't understand the quality of rouge, in line with the principle of only buying expensive ones and not buying the right ones,
I bought a set of the best rouge gouache for my eldest sister in the store,
Looking at the small box in his hand,
Zhao Ye's heart is dripping blood,
It's so damn expensive!
is such a small box, it actually costs more than two hundred taels of silver tickets,
And without bargaining,
Zhao Ye originally wanted to show off his skills,
bargain with others,
But looking at the attitude of the shopkeeper who loves to buy or not,
Zhao Ye still shook his head lightly and then took out his pocket,
Without him, if you want to get things done, you must have some blood!
But who is the second son who is willing to suffer?
Standing in front of the counter and communicating with the shopkeeper about the time of a stick of incense,
The shopkeeper looked at the gentle and elegant young man in front of him,
I don't understand why this guy is so thick-skinned?
The shopkeeper then glanced at the two fierce servants outside the shop.
Maybe I'm afraid I'm here to make trouble,
I was not angry and gave Zhao Ye another sachet,
I invited this uncle out of the house.
After Zhao Ye walked out of the door,
looked at a small cloth bag worth seven taels of silver in his hand, which is said to come from the best embroiderer in Jiangnan,
I looked at the women who were coming and going at the door of the store,
Shaking his head,
Whether ancient or modern,
This woman's money is really the best to earn!
No, it's not making money, it's just a money grab!
Zhao Ye walked out of the rouge shop with blood dripping in his heart, and walked around the city again, in line with the principle that good things come in pairs, Zhao Ye chose a mink for the eldest sister in a mink shop,
When he walked out of the store, Zhao Ye looked back, and sure enough, there were four characters on it, Huo Ji mink.
Lao Tzu remembers you, don't ask me to borrow money in the future,
North mink, south rouge, all are the top luxury goods in the entire Great Zhou,
The behind-the-scenes financier of Huo Ji can be said to have figured out the minds of women!
It's a businessman.
General's Mansion,
Zhao Ye appeared at the door of the General's Mansion with a rouge box in one hand and a mink in the other.
Zhao Fu wanted to help the second young master carry the gift,
But what the second young master said about giving gifts must be sent to the eyes of others,
He also said that he liked this feeling.
A person who looked like a housekeeper appeared in front of Zhao Ye,
To tell the truth, when the housekeeper saw Zhao Ye standing at the gate of the General's Mansion with a big bag and a small bag,
It's a little confusing.
The person who gave this gift has seen a lot, but he can give it so swaggeringly, for fear that others don't know, he really hasn't seen it?
That's too bad to do things, isn't it?
Although my housewife loves money, she can take it in a good way!
Isn't that obvious to look for?
originally wanted the guards to drive them away, but when the housekeeper inadvertently glanced at Zhao Fu and the two Zhao Fu who were following behind Zhao Ye,
Suddenly stopped,
Especially Zhao Fu, he looked very familiar, but he suddenly couldn't remember where he had seen it?
Those who can be housekeepers in the General's Mansion are all shrewd people, and in line with the principle of not finding trouble for the master's mother, the housekeeper decided to inquire about the origin first?
Then decide to do it or not?
"Who are you?" The butler asked.
"Go and tell your housewife, just say that the second young master has come to see her." Zhao Fu was afraid that the second young master would make a mistake, so he suddenly spoke.
Second young master?
The housekeeper reacted quickly, was startled, and asked tentatively, "Qingwangfu?" ”
Zhao Fu nodded.
I finally know why I am familiar, when the main mother married to Fengzhou, it was this person who escorted all the way here, this is Zhao Fu, the companion of King Qing! The second son must be the little leaf that the housemother often hangs on her lips!
When the housekeeper thought of this, his face changed suddenly, and he didn't care about any hospitality, so he trotted all the way towards the courtyard.
Only the three of them were left standing in the wind with bewildered faces,
What do you mean?
