"Li Aiqing, you can accompany me to Bianjing City today to take a look around, see what our national capital has become, and I can see how the people's livelihood is and what needs to be improved."

Ming Jian suddenly said to Li Ruoshui, since he became the master of the Great Song Dynasty, he really hasn't visited this Bianjing City properly.

Now that the Jin people have been defeated, they can make time for a stroll.

In fact, the geographical location of Bianjing City is very good, but militarily, it is a place of four wars, once the northern nomads attack, it will bear the brunt of the impact.

However, there is a disadvantage, there are also advantages, which is very beneficial to the development of the economy, where the traffic extends in all directions, water and land go hand in hand, bringing great convenience to the transportation of goods.

As a result, the business information is very developed, which makes the business of Bianjing City develop rapidly, and various industrial chains are formed.

Li Ruoshui naturally agreed to Ming Jian's request, and the two then took a few guards and walked onto the streets of Bianjing City.

On the streets, there are indeed a lot of people, the shops are densely packed, and there are many hired workers, and there are very few unemployed people, but anyone who has some ability is invited, unless you want to be a lazy person.

There are many shops, but the business is also very good, among them, the grain, oil and food business, the cloth business, and the porcelain business are all hot industries.

Ming Jian walked into a grain store, the name of this grain shop is Hu Ji, the store area is very large, almost 500 square meters.

Seeing Ming Jian and his party coming in, a guy immediately came over to greet him warmly.

"A few guest officers, do you want to buy for zero or for whole?"

The guy asked.

Buying zero is naturally to weigh the pounds, and the whole exchange is the meaning of wholesale.

Ming Jian grabbed a handful of rice and asked, "What is the price of zero purchase and consolidation?" I'll hear it. ”

The guy hurriedly said: "This is Jiangnan rice, if you sell it at zero, each stone of rice will only be sold for the same money." If it is a whole exchange, each stone of rice only needs half a penny. ”

A stone in the Song Dynasty was about 60 kilograms in modern society, and the consistent money in the Song Dynasty was equivalent to about 470 yuan in modern society, which means that a kilogram of rice was about 8 yuan, which is about the same price as modern society.

However, the average income of the people in the Great Song Dynasty is still quite high, and the income of urban residents is about 20 yuan, so there is still no problem in life.

Ming Jian grabbed the rice and sniffed it, nodded, and said, "This is good rice, is the market price like this?" ”

The guy said: "Of course, there are constraints between the current prices and the industry, and they can't be too high, and they can't be too low. ”

Ming Jian smiled: "I'll look at other grains, you don't have to greet me, I'll look back and I'll call someone to buy it." ”

The guy saw that Ming Jian and the others were dressed, and it was obvious that they were from a big family, so he responded and went to greet other people.

After turning around, Ming Jian found that this grain shop was genuine, and the merchants and customers who came and went were quite satisfied with them.

Not only is the goods good, but the service attitude is also very good, especially the female shopkeeper is dressed very luxuriously, talking and laughing, which makes people feel that it is easy to get close.

The sanitation of the entire grain shop is also very good, and there are even sanitation permits on the walls, and it seems that the work of the Dasong police is now quite good.

Among the merchants, there are not only Song people, but also people from other places, the Song Dynasty and the Jin State, the Western Xia is not trading with each other, so if the Jin State and the Western Xia want to get materials from the Great Song Dynasty, they need these intermediate merchants, such as the merchants of the Western Regions and Dali, and even the Hu merchants and Persian merchants have also taken a fancy to this piece of cake, and the crooked nuts with blond hair and blue eyes in the store are not unusual.

Leaving Hu Ji Grain Shop, Ming Jian continued to observe the situation in other stores.

When they came to a cloth shop, the guy greeted them warmly.

The colors of the cloth in this cloth shop are very diverse, and it can be seen that the dyeing process has made great progress.

The most significant thing is that the plaid cloth actually began to appear, this kind of color is the most difficult to dye, the process is complicated, and there are more procedures.

It feels quite slippery to the touch, and Ming Jian feels that the dyeing process of the Great Song Dynasty has reached a very high level. If there are modern machinery and equipment, the Song people will not be worse than modern people.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell these fabrics?" Ming Jian asked, pointing to a piece of plaid cloth.

The shopkeeper's fart ran over and said with a smile: "This official is really a good eye, this is a colorful cloth designed by Jing Jing, which can make a very beautiful costume." Each foot of cloth only costs fifty wen! ”

Ming Jianleng said: "Costume? ”

"Yes, such a fancy cloth, of course, is used for costumes." The shopkeeper smiled.

Ming Jian also smiled, but said, "Give me a hundred feet." ”

"Okay, guest officer, sit down and drink some tea first, and the little old man will go and measure it for you." When the shopkeeper heard that he was a hundred feet, he was immediately overjoyed, and immediately ordered someone to watch the tea, and he himself ran to tear the cloth for Ming Jian.

Ming Jian has a soft spot for plaid cloth, this kind of fabric can make very good-looking casual clothes, Ming Jian plans to get a few sets for himself, and by the way, the people in the palace are also on it, so it is very interesting to watch.

"It's weird, someone even bought such a fancy cloth, does this person seem to have a problem with his brain?" The shopkeeper muttered as he pulled the cloth in the back room.

Zhao Yun walked in coldly, and when he heard the shopkeeper say this, his face suddenly changed greatly, and he shouted: "Bold!" What are you talking nonsense about? ”

The shopkeeper was startled, and when he saw Zhao Yun's murderous look in his eyes, he snapped and knelt down: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's small nonsense, it's small nonsense!" I will slap my mouth! ”

After speaking, the shopkeeper gave himself a look on both sides.

"Lao Zhao, forget it, don't scare the shopkeeper's ripping cloth." Outside the house, Ming Jian said.

Zhao Yun glared at the shopkeeper and said, "Pull it well, don't break it." ”

"Yes, yes, it's a good piece of cloth for the small one." The shopkeeper said busily.

After tearing up a hundred feet of cloth, the carriage was now put to use, and a large roll of floral cloth was piled on top of the carriage, and everyone had to walk.

"Master, do you want to send it back first?" Zhao Yun said.

"Is there anyone with you? Then send it back. Ming Jian said, and then strode forward.

After earning for half a day, Ming Jian was a little hungry.

"Find a restaurant to eat." Ming Jian said.

Li Ruoshui hurriedly persuaded: "Master, this is not good, the food and food outside are mixed, how can you use it?" ”

"Yes, let's go back to the palace." Zhao Yun also said on the side.

Ming Jian was more interested in the restaurants outside, and went back to eat those delicacies from the mountains and seas, he was tired of eating these days, and the snacks outside aroused his interest a little.

"What are you worried about? I'm going to eat out today. After a while, taste the taste of the dishes in Bianjing City, and see what kind of dishes the people can afford. You two are watching, what else can happen? Ming Jian said, and as he spoke, he had already walked into a restaurant called [Wei Mei Xian].

Li Ruoshui and Zhao Yun smiled bitterly, and had no choice but to follow in, and as they walked, they whispered to Zheng Guang to find the silver needle.
