After Wu Jin caused a bunch of troubles, he became the shopkeeper, and the rumors in the capital seemed to have nothing to do with him, and there were ministers and dignitaries in the palace of Lanling County who came to visit to express their sympathy and support for the King of Lanling County.

The next morning, he went to the Meihua Wei Yamen to order a mao, and then went to do his own thing, this is the third day he came to the capital, until today, he has his own time.

There are a few things to do today, the first is to sell the gems in his hand, he only has twenty taels of silver left, he promised to buy a house for everyone, what can twenty taels of silver buy?

The capital is divided into the south city and the north city, he is more familiar with the south market, yesterday he was drinking in the Baifu Building next to the south market, causing trouble, but he only glanced at the gate and did not enter the market.

Wujin has always wondered about one thing, why everyone says that Weiyang County is the first commercial city in the world, is the dignified capital not as good as a small county in Donghai County?

Now he finally understands that the key is in the layout of the city, the capital is composed of neighborhoods, each neighborhood has a square wall, and there is a fang market in the neighborhood, just like the vegetable market in later generations, basically selling vegetables and meat, and then there are some firewood, rice, oil, salt, pots and pans and other common supplies, to buy other things can only go to the south and north markets.

Weiyang is different, it is a city without square walls, there are thousands of shops everywhere, there are thousands of shops in Baxian Bridge alone, and there are also North and South markets, which are wholesale markets for the whole country.

He walked to the gate, looking around, the gate is composed of eight pillars three feet high, the upper end of the column is pasted with gold leaf, shining gold in the sun, eye-catching, so the south city is also known as the gold market, Wu Jin is looking for but not gold leaf, he just looked around, but heard someone behind him call him, "Wu Jin!" ”

I saw Baozhu running up behind her, and made an appointment to be her guide today, although Baozhu had quite an opinion on Wujin's trouble yesterday, but the final result was unexpected, not only was her most hated Huangfu handsome was deposed, but even the emperor also issued a holy decree to comfort her grandfather, and rewarded 10,000 taels of silver as a convulsion fee, these benefits were enough to make her dissatisfaction with Wujin disappear.

And Baozhu also has a thought, that is, she wants to learn the skills of Wujin crossbow shooting, if a woman has any purpose, then her attitude will be surprisingly good.

At this time, the smile on Baozhu's face was like a flower blooming in the sun, she did not wear a tight samurai uniform today, but changed into a red long skirt, carrying a money bag in her hand, she tried to dress herself up a little more coquettishly, but her majestic martial arts style made her coquettish also change the taste, and there was a feeling of putting too much salt in the stir-fry.

Wu Jin also changed into a white robe, wore a gauze hat, and held a folding fan in his hand, he also wanted to make himself a little polite, but his skin color and his hands were completely different from those of scholars, which made people suspect that his folding fan was also a hidden weapon.

The two of them were also a good match, and Baozhu ran up and said with a smile: "I'm a little delayed on the road, so I've kept you waiting." ”

Wu Jin thought that yesterday afternoon, she was still cold to herself, that kind of murderous aura wanted to split herself in half, but now she smiled brightly, and her attitude changed so quickly that he was really a little unbearable, and he thought that Baozhu was going to ask him for his guilt.

But since her attitude towards herself has changed greatly, there is no need for Wu Jin to treat others coldly, he smiled slightly: "I also just arrived, and I am looking for you!" ”

"Let's go! I'll take you to the jewelry store, I'm familiar with it. ”

Baozhu pulled him and ran to the south of the city, they walked into the south of the city, the lively noise rushed to the face, only to see the crowd of people, the whole south of the city street was crowded with people who came to buy goods in the capital, the sound of selling came one after another, Wu Jin suddenly realized that the Mid-Autumn Festival in August was coming.

The southern city of the capital is similar to the northern market of Weiyang County, with thousands of dense shops, and they are also divided into commercial districts one by one, and the jewelry district that Wu Jin is looking for is located in the northeast corner, and they pass through the crowd and turn in front of the shops.

In front of the jewelry section is the iron section, which is full of all kinds of iron tools, mostly all kinds of agricultural tools, hoes, sickles, iron plows, etc., and there are also several large armory shops, mainly selling some non-regulated long and short swords and bows and arrows.

Wu Jin was a little interested, he walked into an armory shop, he wanted to buy some steel balls, yesterday an ambush, his steel balls have been exhausted.

When the shopkeeper saw a customer entering the store, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically, his eyes were very poisonous, and he could see at a glance that Wu Jin was a person who practiced martial arts, and this was his real customer.

"Guests, what you want to buy, the shop has everything!"

He enthusiastically introduced to Wujin, "The swords in the small shop are all made by famous masters, you look at this sword type, it is very smooth, you look at this hardness, this sword blade is sharp, I dare not say that the iron is like mud, but it is definitely extremely sharp, if the guests don't like hard swords, how about the two soft swords, this is made of good Burmese steel, the flexibility is excellent, and it can be directly coiled around the waist....."

The shopkeeper introduced for a long time, and seeing that Wujin was not interested in swords, he suddenly whispered: "If the guests don't like it, I still have two knives here, are you interested?" ”

"I want to buy steel balls, the ones as big as lychees, the kind that shoot with bullets, do you have them here?"

"Nope!"

The shopkeeper shook his head, his face showed disappointment, he glanced out again, and saw that there were only two people in the store, so he lowered his voice and said: "If the guests like crossbows, I still have two crossbows here, which are placed by others here for consignment, do you want to take a look?" ”

The weapons shop sells crossbows privately, and is caught to eat a lawsuit, but the voice is really light, and the shopkeeper takes a risk, but Baozhu is impatient, and pulls Wu Jin away, "These weapons are all inferior goods, what is good-looking, let's go quickly." ”

Wu Jin walked to the door, and suddenly found something, he broke free of the hand of the jewel, slowly stepped forward, and picked up this item, this is actually a thin steel pipe three feet long, polished smooth and shiny, he looked carefully, he couldn't see the seams, as if they were integrated, Wu Jin was very surprised, is the casting level of this era so superb?

Seeing that Wu Jin was interested, the shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile: "There are steel pipes, and there are copper pipes, copper pipes are slightly more expensive than fifty yuan, which is used to blow pipe arrows to ensure that the inside is very smooth, if the guest wants, five hundred yuan will be taken away." ”

Wu Jin thought for a while, and asked him again: "Is this steel pipe available in every store, or is it only sold in your store?" ”

"This ..... Although they are all sold, I have the cheapest here, and others cost at least 600 yuan. ”

Wu Jin took out twenty taels of silver and gave it to him, "Five steel pipes and five copper pipes, I'll make a list for you, you help me buy some things, and the rest of the money will be yours." ”

Baozhu wanted to urge Wu Jin to leave, but when he saw that he had something, he made fun on the side, "Wu Jin, what are you buying tension springs for, and gunpowder, what do you want these for?" ”

"Don't worry about it, I'm useful!"

After Wu Jin finished writing the list, handed it to the shopkeeper, and instructed him: "Just buy according to the list, pay attention to the difference between several types of gunpowder, I will give you an address, and you can send it to me." ”

The shopkeeper took it and quickly calculated that everything added up, no more than ten taels of silver, and he earned ten taels of silver with one vote, and it was his private money, he was suddenly overjoyed, "Okay!" Guests can rest assured that they will be sent to you in the afternoon. ”

Baozhu was a little impatient again, and he didn't pull it, "Let's leave if it's okay!" ”

Wu Jin really had to leave, he didn't have a penny left on him, only a box full of gems in his bag.

He followed Baozhu to the jewelry district, because it was going to the Mid-Autumn Festival, the crowds here were even more surging, almost every jewelry store was crowded with customers, the jewelry district is a long street, there are more than 100 shops on both sides of the street, the Mid-Autumn Festival is the peak season for traditional jewelry sales, almost every store is full of strength, the shop guy shouted loudly at the door, "the lowest price, the most exquisite craftsmanship, the most sufficient jewelry!" ”

Seeing these jewelry stores, Wu Jincai suddenly felt the development of the jewelry industry in Donghai County, and almost half of the stores had advertisements, "Donghai Famous Products, Crowning the World" or "Authentic Donghai County Jewelry", advertising that his jewelry was from Donghai County.

Baozhu is a royal lady and has no interest in small shops, so she directly took Wujin to Jubaozhai, the largest jewelry store in the capital.

It is a five-storey building located in the middle of the street. Covering an area of five acres, the huge signboard catches people's attention, three words of Jubao Zhai, each word is as high as one zhang.

Compared with other shops, Jubao Zhai has fewer customers, and the jewelry here is expensive, which is not affordable for ordinary people.

There were also a few men standing at the door, but instead of greeting them, they stopped them, and those who were rudely dressed and cowered were all barred from entering the store.

Baozhu walked up with Wu Jin, and a guy recognized her, "Isn't this the county lord of Jinyang?" Welcome to the shop! ”

Baozhu pointed at Wujin and said unceremoniously: "This is my friend, from Donghai County, there are some fine gems to sell, what do you care?" ”

The guy glanced at Wu Jin and nodded, "The county lord will invite you into the store first, and I'll go to see him immediately!" ”

The two walked into the store, and Wu Jin asked her with a low smile: "It turns out that you are the county lord of Jinyang, I don't know yet." ”

Baozhu smiled and said triumphantly: "This is my title, generally the daughter of the county king can be named the county lord, but I don't have an aunt, and the emperor directly named me the county lord." ”

After a pause, she complained a little, "I thought you were here to buy jewelry, it turns out that you are here to sell jewelry, you told me yesterday, I will call Steward He directly to the palace, there is no need to make a trip." ”

"But it's not bad to come and shop, it's my first time in Nanshi." Wu Jin said with a smile.

"That's right! It's not bad to have a good time. ”

The two talked and laughed and walked into a hut with the guy, which was a place for distinguished guests to trade, with a few large tables and chairs, and the guy served them tea, and said with a smile: "The two of you sit down for a while, and the manager will be there soon." ”

As soon as the two sat down, a white and chubby middle-aged man walked into the room and bowed, "The county lord said, I will go to the palace, why do you need to come in person, the small shop is afraid of snubbing the county lord." ”

"What's the matter, this mouth is getting better and better."

Baozhu pointed at Wu Jin and smiled, "It has nothing to do with me, it's my friend who came to sell gems." ”

He Guan looked at Wu Jin, although he couldn't see the details of Wu Jin, but it didn't affect his solemn expression, he arched his hand and asked, "May I ask what is the name of the son?" ”

"My surname is Huangfu, and I'm from Donghai County."

As he spoke, Wu Jin put the small box on the table, opened it and said with a smile: "Why don't you take a look at the goods in advance!" ”
