Chapter 360: Commercial Center

In fact, it is not the first time that Li Chengxue has been here! It's just that in recent days, there have been more and more businessmen coming and going from the south to the north. As a result, the flow of people in the area of the Central Grand Bazaar is also getting higher and higher.

In addition, not long ago, the road surface was renovated. Extravagant cement, paved all the pavement of the Central Grand Bazaar. And so that the people near Malu came in and took a look.

For example, Yarulda, a villager from the village of Rial in Baidam Township, Malu County, is one of them. Since the land of Malu was brought under the rule of the Governor's Palace of Khorasan, his good days have come.

Not only did he get 20 acres of arable land, but he also got five sheep, two donkeys, and a camel. In the past, the landlord's big house was also given to him and two other villagers to live in.

This is all due to the previous work of leading the way for the cathars. Otherwise, how could 20 acres of cultivated land be close to the riverbank that is convenient for irrigation. There are also sheep, donkeys, camels and other livestock, all of which only need to pay a small amount of money, and they are all their own.

There is also a big house of the landlord, which was given to him for free.

Such benefits are like pie in the sky.

Therefore, when the town sent officials to guide agricultural affairs to the village to teach agricultural and animal husbandry matters, he listened attentively. According to the suggestion, the fields were planted with wheat and cotton seeds provided by the Department of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry. Seeing that the harvest day was coming, he was happy in his eyes.

Therefore, I went to the city today to buy some chicken, duck, fish, fruits, desserts, seasonal vegetables and other food, so as to reward the neighbors who came to the field to help with the harvest.

"Xianggong, can we get in this car?" Jarorda's wife, Xi Najia, jumped down from the wooden cart full of watermelons, staring at the long row of cars parked in front of her, with a look of embarrassment. It's also that their cars are too shabby! Bare, with only two wheels and a plank. In many colorful and well-dressed cars, it is shabby to the extreme.

"If you don't let you in, you can't help it! Today, we can count on this cart of watermelons. Jarrda, dressed in bloomers, stood behind a four-wheeled horse body with some embarrassment. Two hundred meters in front of it, turn left, and there is a parking lot that occupies a large area.

Under the guidance of the steward, many drivers slowly parked their cars in the right position.

When Xi Najia heard this, she looked at a cart of green watermelons with some eagerness. This was passed down from Khorezm, and they planted some in the early years. However, the survival rate is not high, and the size of the melons and fruits produced is not large. So they only planted it once, and they didn't plant it again.

It wasn't until this year that the Department of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry came up with new melon seeds, and they tried to plant half an acre of land. I didn't expect it to be very easy to survive, and it was the size of two people's heads. It tastes as sweet as honey.

I thought about pushing the watermelon to Malu to sell it, so as to subsidize the family.

It's just that this time when she entered the city, Xi Najia really opened her eyes. Because she didn't expect that after only half a year's effort, Malu City would change so much. Not only are the roads wider and the road harder, but there are also a lot more rules for entering the city than before.

Although there is no need to pay the entrance fee, before entering the city, a cloth bag must be hung on the back of the donkey pulling the cart. It is said that it was used to hold the excrement of the donkey so as not to stain the road.

In addition, if you are in a hurry, you must take the road that can only be walked by car. This is separated from the sidewalk by pedestrians, separated by a row of poplar trees.

Like the Emile Street, which she has been to several times, it is paved with cement that only rich merchants can use. A red line was drawn in the middle to strictly separate the cars leaving the city from entering the city.

And all cars drive on the right-hand side of the road. When you encounter an intersection, you have to obey the command of someone to travel.

This is a world of difference from the impression of the dusty gravel road, the pedestrian and car indistinguishable Amile Street, and the completion.

It was the first time she had walked on such a surface, and the wheels were glued to it, surprisingly smooth. So in her heart, she likes this kind of road surface.

Just as she was stunned, a head peeked out of the window in front of her.

"Second brother! I want to eat watermelon! Li Chengxue caught a glimpse of the watermelon in Yarulda's car, licked his lips and said.

It's noon, and it's the hottest time of the day. Li Chengji also felt a little thirsty, so he asked Rabi Lasi to buy one and come back.

"This man, my watermelon is sweet!" Seeing that Rabi Lasi was dressed as a big family, Yarulda smiled and introduced. Xi Najia, who was wrapped in a headscarf, also pulled out a little smile and stood beside her and looked at it stiffly.

"Hmmm! How to sell? Rabi Lasi glanced at it a few times, and then pointed to a relatively large watermelon road.

"Hey, hey... It's not expensive, it's only a pound of Fahs. Yarulda said, explaining, "I bought these seeds from the Department of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, which are big and sweet. ”。

At present, the Governor's Palace has minted currency, which is divided into three types: gold, silver and copper. Among them, copper coins are small coins, silver coins are medium coins, and gold coins are large coins. Usually twenty small coins equal one medium money, and fifty medium coins equal one large dollar.

Converted to a common Persian unit of measurement, twenty fahrs are equal to one dirkhan, and fifty dihrs are equal to one dinar.

And the income of the people in Malu has increased several times compared with the past. Like the income of ordinary workers in the city, it is generally the day of the Sandir Khan.

On top of that, prices have also risen across the board. Among the five counties, it has been compared with Puhua. Taking wheat flour, the staple food of the people, as an example, the price on the market has risen to seven fahris and one tael.

And at the time of Maru's incorporation into the Doge's Palace, the income of the ordinary worker, in the present monetary unit, did not exceed ten fahs per day. The price of wheat flour is one to two dirkhans.

Therefore, the people often do not have enough to eat.

Nowadays, although it is one of the five counties, it is a city with higher prices. But compared with the surrounding forces, it is still ridiculously low.

This Fahs is indeed not expensive.

Rabi Lasi asked Yarulda to weigh it, seven pounds in weight. Erased the fraction, Jaruda charged only seven Fakhs.

But Rabi Rasi didn't have much copper money, so he gave it straight to the first dir khan. Jaruda had to find some change, and Rabi Lasi was back in the car.

Cut with a sharp scimitar, the bright red melon pulp is very tempting. Li Chengxue looked at it, and her saliva was about to flow out. He quickly picked up a large piece and bit it when he opened his mouth.

"Delicious!" , Li Chengxue wiped the juice from her mouth and took a big bite again.

Li Chengji also nodded, thinking that this watermelon was really good.

In comparison, Zhang Zhiqin eats more ladylikely. Take only one small bite and chew slowly.

After waiting for a while, the car moved slowly and finally arrived at the parking lot. But just as they entered, an argument broke out behind them.

As soon as I looked at the sound, I saw that the watermelon cart of Yarulda and his wife was being stopped by the steward and prevented from entering.

"Let's go! I didn't see what kind of cars these were. That's where you can come. The little servant in charge pushed Yarulda out as he spoke, and his words were quite polite.

The people passing by also gathered around curiously. The hot eyes made Xi Najia beside Yarulda eager to find a crack in the ground to get into.

"I'm just going to stop for a while, just for a while." , Jarurda took out a Fahs and pleaded. Parking here, half an hour is a Fahs. So if Yaror Daruru really only stopped for a short time, this Fahs was more than enough.

"Humph! Who scarces your stinky money. Our parking area is not something you can enter with a donkey cart. The little guy swept Farus to the ground in the palm of Jarorda's hand, with sarcasm and contempt on his face.
