Cheng Jianghai always looks obscene and trembling in front of people, and only when he is alone with Li Xiang can he be himself. On the first day of the grand event, Liu Susu and Ma Rulan went out with their daughters, and Li Xiang and Cheng Jianghai were keeping an eye on the progress of the Daxiangguo Temple in the hall of the Ma family's back house, and they were very busy.

From time to time, Li Xiang's guards who infiltrated the Daxiangguo Temple as ordinary people, the forbidden army sergeant who played in his true colors, and the Yuanguang disciples who had indigenous advantages sent various information, combined with the continuous gossip news from the South Street of the Daxiangguo Temple, Li Xiang was able to understand the general situation of the Daxiangguo Temple, so that he could make adjustments in time.

The first batch of people exchanged for thimbles and other gadgets at the exit and left happily, Li Xiang and Cheng Jianghai saw this information and exhaled a long breath. At first, the lack of a big basket is a good start, which means that the process can be completed.

Shaking his dizzy head, Li Xiang joked to Cheng Jianghai: "You plan to meet people in a lewd posture all the time, you are too wronged yourself, right?" You can choose to see people in a normal way, and go to the bright side to serve Mingyuezhuang, there are so many famous doctors in Bianjing, just to hide the fact that you are pretending to be crazy. You can also admit that after seeing the eldest brother victimized, you can only pretend to be crazy in order to protect yourself, Mingyuezhuang is not afraid of becoming the second child in the family, cough cough, after all, the family is no longer the past. ”

Cheng Jianghai sorted out a book of information and tilted his head slightly, "At that time, my eldest brother was killed by the second child of the Cheng family, my good uncle sent someone to kill him, and the small family that had just been built was also burned down, and the second brother was infected with madness, so I could only pretend to be crazy to protect myself." I felt very aggrieved at the time, but now I ......."

"Valued by the lord, Jiang Hai should continue to hide his identity, and it is more convenient to do private things. Ordinary people will not suspect me, and it is more difficult for some people with intentions to grasp the details of Mingyuezhuang and the lord in Bianjing, and whoever has a crooked mind can also detect it in time. Subordinates can do better in secret, and maybe they can even give some people a hard time! Speaking of this, Cheng Jianghai's face turned red, and he didn't know if he was tired, or he couldn't help but think of Yin Ren.

Li Xiang's jaw was about to be uncontrollable, "Uh, you don't hesitate to pretend to be crazy and stupid, and hide in the shadows, just to be ruthless to some people?" ”

"Ahem, don't blame the lord. For some reason, every time I think of the faces of those people I plotted against, my subordinates are very excited......" Cheng Jianghai explained, his face was not very thick, and he was a little embarrassed.

"So how do you get married? For the sake of the face of Cheng Jianghu, who has become Lao Tzu's personal guard, no one in the village will embarrass you, but if you hide in the shadows for a day, won't you lose your family for a day, after all...... Who would marry their daughter to a madman? Li Xiang asked, he felt that Cheng Jianghai's sacrifice was too big and not very necessary.

Cheng Jianghai Chengzhu was in his chest, "It doesn't matter, my subordinates feel that the situation in Da Zhou is really worse day by day, and the day when the lord will inherit the destiny of heaven is not far away." At that time, the lord will dominate one side, and he will not be able to capture his subordinates with wealth and wealth? At that time, except for a few people, no one else rushed to send their daughters over? ”

hasn't done much work, so he began to talk about the treatment, and it is estimated that there is only one Mingyuezhuang. Having said that, most of the people gathered around Li Xiang were mountain refugees, some bandits, and some craftsmen, Tong Sheng and Xiucai were of noble birth...... In other words, almost all the people who are attached to Li Xiang are from cloth clothes, and Li Xiang has the thinking of what modern people say, and his subordinates certainly have the same example.

Zhang Wanli, who has been a staff member for most of his life and has a wealth of experience and experience, was shocked when he first arrived in Mingyuezhuang, and thought that the high-level leaders of Mingyuezhuang had a lot of wisdom, and said early that he had no ambitions, so as not to become Han Xin and others? So Zhang Wanli also seriously set up his own workshop to prove to the people around him that he was very gregarious.

Li Xiang was helpless, looking at this radical who was bent on rebelling after being injured, he thought to himself: "This native of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who was born to do private things, always wants to rebel, but Lao Tzu comes to the Great Zhou but still has to wait and see, and he has to keep a low profile to make a lot of money, isn't it a bit decadent?" Why don't you go directly to Nanyang and beat anyone who you don't like? ”

In the south of Daxiangguo Temple, that is, in the area of the outer temple, there is a large number of houses and pavilions between the dense forest pagodas, and it usually receives all kinds of pilgrims to eat and stay, which is very quiet and elegant. Every few days of the Ten Thousand Surnames Trading Conference, except for a few large attics, the entire outer temple is overcrowded.

Lin Dayou is a neighbor and old acquaintance of the Ma family, and he is also from the forbidden army, and he has a younger brother who has outstanding craftsmanship and has worked in the weapons prison. After he learned that Li Xiang and Ma Rulan were like sisters and brothers, he was very polite to Li Xiang and others in the back house, Li Xiang was trying to get acquainted with him as a low-status but widely traveled snake, so Lin Dayou was quickly pulled onto the thief ship by Li Xiang.

The younger brother who has outstanding skills but can't be a man has now become a fragrant glutton, and is robbed by the battalion commanders and heads of those who looked down on the broken Lin family in the past, who makes those big bosses incompetent, and their younger brother can help them build a workshop as soon as possible? The first charcoal stoves have been built in their own small workshop, which are being unveiled at trade fairs with their own markings.

The attentive brother and daughter-in-law were also hired as stewards at the barbecue restaurant of the Ma family's sister-in-law, and although several clerks in the yamen had various purposes, they were more polite to themselves. Some old acquaintances of the forbidden army who did not communicate frequently came to the door, and the house began to be renovated...... Lin Dayou recalled the earth-shaking life of his family, and only felt that Li Xiang was a nobleman.

Lin Dayou took some people, holding "standard weapons" such as forks, sticks, and sticks, to maintain order in the outer temple and escort the major events of the Great Xiangguo Temple. The big cities of the Great Zhou Dynasty, especially Bianjing, have a surprisingly high level of management, and such a major event as the Ten Thousand Surnames Trading Conference naturally has special care from the government.

Lin Dayou walked away, and several commanders of the forbidden army secretly contributed to get the beauty difference in the eyes of this colleague. Seeing that there was another scoundrel making trouble, Lin Dayou waved his hand, and several "Guancheng" quickly dragged the man out, and Lin Dayou didn't ask much, picked up the stick and beat him. When it comes to their own interests, of course, they can't keep their hands.

Ma Rulan and Liu Susu had just entered the temple, and what they saw was a middle-aged man being pressed to the ground by Lin Dayou, knocking on the ground with a fire stick for a while. Ma Rulan was very embarrassed, several little nuns snickered, little Jiang Lan felt so powerful, let out a wow exclamation, clapped her little hands and shouted: "Uncle Lin, come on, Uncle Lin is so powerful!" ”

Of course, Lin Dayou knew Xiao Jianglan, and when he heard the voice, he realized that something was wrong, and turned his head to see Ma Rulan, embarrassed. He hurriedly asked his subordinates to fork the man out of Xiangguo Temple, and then walked over in full clothes. Touching Xiao Jiang Lan's head, Lin Dayou bent down, asked the curious Jiang Lan to look at the waist card, and then asked Ma Rulan: "The sister-in-law of the Ma family just came?" It's lively here, and the Li brothers are really good...... There are many people, and there are many scoundrels, so ......"

Remarriage was common in Da Zhou at this time, after all, Cheng Zhu Lixue had not yet risen. Lin Dayou was very worried when his favorite Ma Rulan saw his "work scene", afraid that Ma Rulan would look down on him, so he stammered and explained.

Liu Susu saw something, and smiled secretly, the precocious Jiang Zhi lowered his head, as if he didn't see it. Xiao Jiang Lan had no heart or lungs, holding Lin Dayou's several waist cards and hitting each other, as if she liked to listen to that crisp sound.

Ma Rulan was a little ashamed, he had no ill feelings towards Lin Da, but ...... For the sake of face, Ma Rulan had no choice but to have a good greeting with Lin Da for a while, and then say goodbye. Little Jiang Lan reluctantly put down her waist card, said goodbye to Uncle Lin, and followed Sister Jiang Zhi to continue forward.

Lin Dayou watched Ma Rulan continue to walk inside, and Liu Susu came to Ma Rulan's side with a gossipy face, "Sister, it seems that the Lin family brothers are very interesting to you, I heard that after his wife passed away, he hasn't continued to ......" Ma Rulan, who was a little embarrassed, pinched Liu Susu and sighed slightly in her heart. Jiang Zhi pursed her lips and stole fun, little Jiang Lan was stunned, and ran around asking what was wrong, her delicate appearance made Ma Rulan and the others happy.

Finally arrived at a serious place, and the dense flow of people seemed to be rushing to a big gathering. Daxiangguo Temple has held so many grand gatherings of ten thousand surnames, the management has been very scientific, silk and satin, spice jewelry, overseas customs, four treasures of the study and handicrafts are five categories, and there will be a variety of rare and exotic beasts, which can be called a temporary zoo.

There is no best, only better. Daxiangguo Temple adopted some of Li Xiang's suggestions, such as setting up guides, further dividing according to clothing, food, housing, transportation, and price grades, and improving rest areas.

The houses are still those houses, and the merchants are still those merchants, but with the blessing of advanced concepts and the strict control of the abbot of Yuanguang, the people will only feel more comfortable, but the shopkeepers and others can see more. With the improvement of the overall efficiency, the money and food consumed by this grand event are much less, and the effect is ......

The glitz and magnificence are here, and the Buddhist hall and pavilion are in the shadows. Xiao Jiang Lan's eyes were shining, Liu Susu covered her mouth and exclaimed, and Jiang Zhi was also shocked. Where is the temporary big market in front of you, it is clearly a big market not far from Tianshuijing Street and Panlou Night Market.

The streets were crowded with signboards and banners that seemed to be unable to withstand the shouts of the shopkeepers, so they had to dance high to dodge, and the people in groups of three or five had just come out of this small shop and rushed into the next door.

In the past few decades, there has been no shortage of shops that were originally infamous, and after the trade conference of the surnames, they were passed on by the people of Bianjing, so they soared into the sky.

The most important thing for big merchants has always been the large attic that cannot be entered without invitations, and the wealthy businessmen from all over the world have brought their own samples to negotiate a deal in the silk and bamboo orchestra and reach a cooperation......

The information transmission of the Great Zhou Dynasty is the same as that of the previous dynasties, which is severely restricted, but the industry and commerce are ten times more than in the past, so the regular exhibition of the Great Xiangguo Temple has a variety of functions such as display, trading, negotiation, and looking for business opportunities. It's just that the master of the abbot of Yuanguang is not good at management, which has led to the decline of the trading conference in the past ten years, and the people who want to replace the surname conference will not let go of any opportunity.

Ma Rulan, Liu Susu and others entered the first store, which was full of Jiangnan oil-paper umbrellas and other small objects, and the store was a merchant from Jiangnan. Little Jiang Lan took a small umbrella and played it stupidly, and the few little nuns around her smiled and bent over.

Ma Rulan pretended to be surprised when she saw the round charcoal stove in the middle of the house. I saw that the shopkeeper pressed down the monk who wanted to get up, and arched his hand and said, "Madame, I am puzzled, why is the rented house of this trading conference so warm?" ”

Seeing Ma Rulan nodding, the shopkeeper began to explain carefully, "Then it's thanks to the charcoal stove, Madame, please." The shopkeeper with a Wuxi accent took Ma Rulan to the center of the house, lifted the wrought iron kettle, and the fiery red charcoal roasted people's faces hot. Liu Susu also began to show her acting skills, showing a look of envy.

I only heard that the shopkeeper with a beard and a fat body continued: "This is the charcoal stove that began to circulate in Bianjing City a month ago. The inside is made of earth, covered with iron sheets, and the iron cylinders are used to draw out charcoal gas and smoke, and the doors are sealed to control the burning of charcoal. Not only is the house clean, but it also keeps it warm all day long, and the most rare thing is that the water is constant. With an iron pot and a kettle, you can even save the charcoal money for the stove, I don't know which genius's idea, it's incredible......"
