As soon as he entered the city, Liu Qiu stopped doing it and shook off Liu Million's hand, "Uncle, they deceive people too much, how can they collect money when they walk from the city gate, what is the difference between this and the robbers who block the road?" ”

"Alas, we're not here to play with our tempers, we're here to do things, so why bother with them. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoDon't you see that many people who go in and out of the city have all paid their money, and they just told you, be careful when you speak, have you forgotten? I really don't know how you used to do it, and people complimented you like that. ”

It was naturally Zhou Bian who praised Liu Qiu in front of Liu Million, Liu Qiu's flexibility and easy-going won Zhou Bian's fancy, but at the same time, Zhou Bian also saw that Liu Qiu's temperament was easy to excite, so he let him be an ordinary guy for a few months, grinding his temperament, I thought it was almost the same, so I specially sent him this time.

Liu Qiu naturally knew these situations, not only the king had said it, but his sister had also said it, so after listening to Liu Million's lesson, Liu Qiu immediately lowered his head and muttered, "The kid knows that he is wrong, and he will never dare to do it again in the future." ”

"Well, the true temperament is good, and it can't be seen that the pretense is too fake. Let's go find a hotel to rest. With that, Liu Million pulled the carriage and walked towards the city.

Liu Qiu hurriedly followed, "Uncle, you have been here before, why don't you tell my prophet about the rules for entering the city?" ”

Liu Million didn't look back, and said angrily, "When I came here before, no one cared about the city gate, how do I know that this is the case now." ”

"I see you gave nine coins at once, didn't you say two coins for one person? Why do you have to give so much at once? ‘

"It's not that you kid caused trouble, if I don't pay more, can people let us go? We're here to do big things, so why bother. In fact, what Liu Million didn't know was that if other hawkers or something entered the city and only charged one penny, if it was a poor old man in a grange outside the city or something, he might even not want money, this soldier clearly saw that Liu Million and the two were from other places, and they also rushed to get up the car, so they asked for two dollars, if they found anything valuable in the luggage on the car, maybe they would ask for more.

The uncle and nephew walked around this Zhengdu City. This Zheng Du is the late Western Zhou Dynasty when the King of Zhou You was mediocre, Zheng Hou saw that the King of You was no longer saved, and he was afraid that he would get into trouble, so he first moved Zheng Guo to the Central Plains, occupied the territory of a small country in place, and built Zheng Du, since it was a new capital that was newly moved to build, so it was also called Xin Zheng at that time, and this name has been used for more than 2,000 years, until the modern life where Zhou Bian crossed the previous generation. It is precisely because of the early withdrawal of the opportunity that Zheng Guo suffered less losses when the Western Zhou Dynasty fell, so that after King Ping moved eastward, Zheng Guo was able to temporarily dominate the Central Plains, and even confronted the royal family. Of course, Zhou Tianzi still had a certain authority at that time, and Zhou Li stipulated that the capital of the Son of Heaven was nine miles and the capital of a great country was six miles, so although this Zheng capital has been expanded several times, it is not as big as the city of Luoyang, but because of the strength of South Korea, the prosperity is not lost to Luoyang.

The uncle and nephew quickly found a small hotel, there are many businessmen in Zhengdu, so there are many such small hotels specially prepared for hawkers who walk north and south, the front hall is for eating, and the back of a few small courtyards for accommodation, and vehicles can also be stored in the small courtyard. And the price of this kind of small hotel is not high, so the business in Zhengdu is still good.

After driving the carriage into the small courtyard, the uncle and nephew looked around nervously, and saw that there was no one around, so they carefully surrounded the carriage, lifted the luggage slightly, opened a secret compartment from the carriage pressed under the luggage, took out a cloth bag from it under the cover of the luggage, and carried it out in the luggage.

This small cloth bag is a little heavy, which is very inconsistent with its size, but it is not noticeable in the slightest when it is sandwiched in a large pile of luggage. The uncle and nephew each carried a few bags and lived in their rooms, and after putting them away, Liu Qiu went out to buy food and brought them in. The two of them are so cautious all the way, when they go out, everything is done with caution!

After resting all night, the next day the uncle and nephew took a few more pieces of luggage, including that special little cloth bag, and drove the carriage out for a walk.

The uncle and nephew didn't come shopping, but looked for small hotels for sale. Fortunately, the business in Zhengdu City is also very developed, there are a lot of all kinds of hotels and inns, and the number goes up, so it is natural that there is always a little bit of business that is not doing well and wants to sell, so I didn't go shopping for too long, and the uncle and nephew found a small hotel that didn't even have a name.

This hotel is located in a small street in the west of the city, although the street is not big, but there are still more people coming and going, but the hotel is very small. The hotel is three before and after, the first into the natural lobby of eating, the difference between the hotel and the later generations, are separated from a small private room, the private room is similar to the appearance of the tatami mats in the later generations, the guests sit cross-legged on both sides of a square table, so generally a small private room can only sit four people at most. This hotel is not big, and there are only eight small private rooms on the left and right sides, and the private rooms are only separated by thin wooden boards, which are neither closed, nor are they separated by gauze like some luxury hotels in Luoyang, which naturally looks very simple. There are two inside, but there is nothing to say, the second is the kitchen and the place where the guy sleeps, and the third is where the boss's house sleeps.

The owner of this hotel only said that he was old and didn't want to run anymore, and asked for 150,000 yuan, and the uncle and nephew still felt that this place was the most satisfactory after looking for many places, so they came back to talk about the price, and finally it was reduced to 140,000 yuan, which is a relatively normal price. After negotiating the price, Liu Million nodded at Liu Qiu, who took off a small cloth bag on his shoulder, and put it on the table, pressing the table to sink.

Although the main currency in this era is copper coins, the copper coins are too heavy, and the 140,000 copper coins are afraid to have thousands of catties, and they have to be pulled by several cars, so the rich people go out with gold. In this era, silver was produced less, so copper was directly gold. Liu Million's uncle and nephew are naturally like this, and for the sake of prudence, they have been hiding in the mezzanine of the carriage, otherwise they will be searched out when they enter the Xinzheng City Gate, and they are afraid that they will not be able to solve the problem by throwing nine coins.

Liu Million smiled and blocked the shopkeeper's gaze, put his hand into the cloth bag, took out a few gold nuggets, and piled them on the table at once, "I didn't bring those heavy things when I went out, this is two catties and eight taels of gold, according to the market price of 50,000 yuan for one catty of gold, these are enough." ”

The shopkeeper was just a small household, and when he saw a few catties of gold in front of him, his eyes immediately straightened, and after picking it up and looking at it for a long time, he grabbed it and was about to walk to the backyard, "I'll take it to the back and weigh it to see if it's true." ”

Liu Million hurriedly stopped, "This is not right at the shopkeeper's house, who can see it if you take it and weigh it, just bring the scale here." ”

The shopkeeper's old face was red, and he was busy with it, and he stretched out his hand to beckon a guy, and he said that it was really enough, and it seemed that the scales in this store were still not manipulative.

The shopkeeper was still not at ease, and after obtaining Liu Million's consent, he cut open each gold nugget and looked at it, and asked the guy to invite several shopkeepers next door to observe it for a long time, and then nodded and agreed. This is also understandable, in this era, after all, not everyone has seen gold.

Liu Million is good-tempered, and he has been smiling and watching from the side, anyway, it must be enough, and they can't play any tricks in person. Facing the slightly apologetic gaze of the old shopkeeper, Liu Million nodded slightly, and after the two signed, they asked several bosses next door to sign and testify, which was considered to have completed the handover of the hotel.

After sending away a few bosses next door, the old shopkeeper carefully put away the gold, and his heart was also very comfortable, so he smiled and said, "Boss Liu, I think Er is also a good person, and some things are better with you." Don't look at this shop is small, but there is a lot of money to pay a year, first of all, the city guard has to pay 100 yuan a month, and then this street is the territory of Gongzizhao, 50 yuan a month is indispensable, and there are also some uncertain taxes, or to repair the city wall, or to repair the Han Palace, or something, usually more than 100 yuan per month, less than 20 or 30 yuan. However, South Korea has suffered a defeat recently, and this tax has been collected a little more, 120 dollars a month. These are essential, otherwise you won't be able to do this. There are also some idlers who come to beg for money, and you have to send it away, and you can get more than 300 yuan a month. The old man also said because of your good face, don't make a little handover, let people demolish this hotel. Fortunately, this hotel has changed its owner's house, and tomorrow you will take the painting to the city guard to register, otherwise it will be late if it is late, I am afraid that they will be embarrassed. Also, I'll have to rely on you in the future, but I have to take care of it. Saying that, the old shopkeeper introduced a few guys in the store, but in fact, there were not many people, a cook, and the cook's wife was a dishwasher, as well as two front hall greeting guests, and a miscellaneous person.

After finishing speaking, the old shopkeeper began to collect things, the husband and wife are not young, and the son is not around, Liu Qiu and a few guys in the store helped for a while, before they were collected, and called the car again, which sent the old shopkeeper away.

Looking back at this small Sanjin courtyard and becoming his own, Liu's uncle and nephew sighed, but there were no guests at this time, and after sending Liu Qiu back to the inn where he stayed last night to move his luggage, the guys who were soon familiar with him surrounded him and said in a few words, "Master Liu's family, we are all old people here." Don't hide it from the owner, this hotel is actually resold when it can't be done. ”

didn't think that the former owner had left, and the guys began to betray the first owner, but Liu Million was also about to inquire about the market, so he listened with a smile.

"In fact, this also depends on the defeat fought not long ago, and the former master said that the 120 yuan is a new tax, and the original 80 yuan per month tax is still indispensable, so now it is impossible to fight without 400 yuan a month. We haven't paid the money for this month in our hotel. The handyman said.

"It's easy to say, a certain family has it, and tomorrow they will pay all the money for this month." Liu Million doesn't really care about this money.

"That's not good, it's only the beginning of the month, if the main family pays it now, I'm afraid that at the end of the month, they will come again, and the main family only needs to pay about half of it tomorrow, if someone asks, just say that there are fewer guests now." The boy hurriedly shook his hand.

"But it's a fact that there are few guests, the people who come out to drink are rich people, our dishes are poor, the conditions are also poor, where are those big restaurants, alas, it would be good if there was shochu to sell, I heard that as long as there is shochu to sell the restaurant there are more guests." But the main family is really a good person, and I told Xiao San a few days ago that it would be good if it could be sold for 120,000 yuan. "It's a guy from the front hall who can talk.

"Oh." Liu Million nodded slightly, he didn't think that soju was already famous in Zhengdu, but now that he got soju, it was easy to arouse suspicion, what he wanted was to have nothing to do with Luoyang, so the matter of soju should be slow.

Everyone chatted a little more, and Liu Million learned that the business of this hotel was extremely poor, maybe the former owner couldn't do it and sold it, but this really didn't have anything to do with him, and with the king's support, where are you afraid that the business will not be prosperous. So after Liu Qiu brought all the luggage back, the uncle and nephew settled here.

The two of them naturally live in the backyard, and in the middle, in addition to the kitchen, there are two cooks and miscellaneous men, and the two guys who run the hall are temporarily recruited, and they sleep on the ground in the front hall, where do the poor people talk so much.

After many days of exhaustion, I finally settled down in Zhengdu, everything was fine, and the uncle and nephew decided to reopen after rectification, so they closed the door before dinner time. There was nothing to say all night, Liu Million was thinking about how to start the business, but Liu Qiu was thinking about how to write a letter to the king to report.
