Chapter 121 Luoyang City

Luoyang, the capital of the gods!

When the giant ship followed Luoshui and entered the central wharf of Luoyang City, Song Kai had a feeling of entering the movie in a trance, with the tall and simple city walls, the wide and flat bluestone wharf, and the bustling crowd, even Song Kai, a modern person who is accustomed to seeing the world, was surprised.

Although Suzhou City is prosperous and spacious in the entire Tang Dynasty, ranking among the top five cities, compared with Luoyang City in front of it, it is too small, and it feels like a countryman entering the city.

Song Kai stood at the bow of the boat, watching the most authentic quaint city, his heart was a little moved, a little attached, thinking of such a magnificent building, but it will die out soon, and his heart was a little sad.

Qingniang walked over and stood beside Song Kai, holding the side of the boat with her little hands, with a little trepidation and uneasiness.

"Young Master, here...... It's so big here, and there are too many people," Qingniang said in a low voice.

Song Kai laughed, reached out and patted Qing Niang's hair, "Don't be afraid, we won't stay here for long." ”

Even in the busy and spacious Luoyang Port, the ships under Song Kai's feet are also very conspicuous, its volume is too large, and the average large cargo ship is only one-third of Song Kai's ships, not to mention that most of the boats on the river are just small boats.

"Hey! Big Mac! Let's get it! ”

There was a shout from behind, and the sound came along the wind, and when it reached Song Kai's ears, it was already very small.

Song Kai looked back, and on a big boat behind, several big men were calling towards Song Kai and the others.

"No problem!" Song Kai waved his hand, and then asked several subordinates to adjust the bow of the boat slightly.

The big boat behind squeezed over, and the boss of the boat looked up at Song Kai's giant with envy. This year. If the ship is big, it means that you make more money. In the era of underdeveloped commerce, as long as you use a little brain, you can make a fortune by reversing goods back and forth, and large ships are full of advantages.

"This way! Big Mac! This way! ”

A voice came from the docks.

Song Kai looked over, and a young man dressed like an official on the dock was shouting towards Song Kai.

Song Kai asked the helmsman to obey the man's command.

The man assigned Song Kai's ship a separate largest pier.

The ship is docked. The young lady, who was wearing clothes with the words of the government, ran down the stairs of the boat, and shouted while panting: "My God, who is the head, you thing is really big enough, bigger than the dragon boat on the saint." ”

Song Kai walked over, and when he heard this, he couldn't help frowning, and arched his hand: "This Lang Jun." This ship is mine, and you just said that my ship is bigger than the holy boat. This one...... There won't be any trouble. ”

The young man was not tall, but he was dressed quite decently, and there was still a circular pattern on his chest in front of him, in which was written the word "city".

"Oh, haha, you don't have to worry about the boat boss, the saint doesn't like to take a boat, besides, this is Luoyang City, even if it is the saint, you can't take your ship for no reason," the man's round face was full of smiles, and he gave people a very comfortable feeling when he spoke, "Oh, by the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Shishi, and I am the city order Xiaosheng who is responsible for the guidance and inspection of this wharf, and the businessmen who come to Luoyang City for the first time must go through the inspection of our Luoyang 1 city order, and please be considerate of Lang Jun." ”

Song Kai nodded and asked Qing Niang to take out her official quotation disc.

Shi looked at it quickly, and finally saw Xue Weihai's handwriting, he quickly raised his head, "It turned out that Xue Gong personally approved it, and the small one was offended." ”

"Huh? Do you know Xue Gong? Song Kai was strange.

Shi nodded, "Back then, Xue Gong was famous in Kyoto, and at that time, the small one was still in Chang'an City, Xue Gong was already a scholar in the court, and the people in the palace decided to move the capital to Luoyang, and the entire Chang'an City was crying, which Xue Gong tried his best to stop it, and later Xue Gong was demoted to Suzhou City because of this incident." ”

Song Kai touched his nose and said, "Stone, if you have time, tell me about Xue Gong." ”

Shi smiled, "If Lang Jun wants to listen, the small one naturally speaks, but the small one doesn't know much, by the way, dare to ask Lang Jun's name, I have to make a record here, so that I can hand it over to the city commander." ”

Song Kai nodded and said his information.

The stone is very talkative, and there is no shelf, different from the ordinary officials, perhaps because people who have been doing business in Luoyang City for a long time have backers, and the stone does not dare to offend easily.

After registering, Shi said: "That's the case, Song Lang, if you don't dislike it, I can help Song Lang settle down quickly in Luoyang City, Song Lang, you are a first-time arrival, you are not familiar with Luoyang City, I have been living here for a few years, the streets and alleys, where are there good stores to rent, which officials need to be touched, which people can't be provoked, etc., it's quite familiar, Song Lang, what do you think?" ”

Feng Tian and the others also came over, and when they heard the stone say this, Feng Tian frowned and said, "We didn't plan to settle down in Luoyang City, this little brother is still ......"

"Hey," Song Kai raised his hand, "I think the stone is very good, anyway, unload the carriage first, and then find a place to moor the boat." ”

"Young Master," Feng Tian walked over and said in a low voice: "Young Master, this person speaks too neatly, and at first glance, he is a person who has been engaged in some improper business outside all the year round, so he can't believe it." ”

Song Kai waved his hand, he was used to seeing the salesmen of later generations, and knew that the performance was all based on one mouth, but in the current era, people who are too good at speaking often give people a sense of treachery.

"Don't worry, I know in my heart, with the stone, we can save a lot of things, get off the boat first to see the situation, if Luoyang City is not bad, it is not bad for us to set up camp in Luoyang," Song Kaidao.

The group pushed the truck off the boat, leaving some people to guard the huge ship, and Song Kai led the team to Wang Luoyang City.

The stone walked beside Song Kai, and said with a smile: "Song Lang, in Luoyang City, I have received a total of four caravans, I dare not say how much credit there is, but now other merchants have settled down in Luoyang City, and they are doing very well, I charge ten taels of gold, after receiving the money, you don't have to worry about everything else Song Lang, including the officials, the gangs in the area, the government registration, the negotiation of the price of the shop, the purchase and lease of the yard, etc., these trivial matters are all handled by me." Of course, the money is yours. ”

"Yes. Quite an idea. But it's not cheap," Song Kai laughed, not paying attention.

Shi said with a smile: "In Luoyang City, ten taels of gold is really not expensive, besides, Song Lang, you are all doing big business, where do you care about this little money, although my stone seems to be able to speak well." But it's really honest and reliable in his bones. ”

"Okay, but I want to investigate first, to be honest, I want to go to Chang'an City to settle down," Song Kaidao, looking at the markets and buildings around Luoyang City, relaxed and happy.

"To Chang'an City? This one...... In fact, if Song Lang can be trusted, it is more convenient for me in Chang'an City, not to hide from Song Lang, I have a few relatives. are all on an errand in Chang'an City, if it weren't for offending a villain. I really don't want to come to Luoyang City," the stone began.

"Okay, that's you, but I can't pay until I'm settled," Song Kai said.

Shi rubbed his hands, nodded and said, "Don't worry, Song Lang, I'll do things, you can watch it with peace of mind." ”

With the guidance of the stone, Song Kai and the others walked on the streets of Luoyang City, but they did not feel at a loss.

Bi Youwei sat in the carriage and didn't get out of the carriage, but secretly lifted the corner of the curtain and looked at the street outside the carriage with a little trepidation.

"Why don't you go to my house first, have lunch, and discuss where to stay," Shi said, he was indeed very good at doing business, and slowly people had a sense of trust and intimacy.

Song Kai didn't refuse, he really didn't care about ten taels of gold now, as long as he could open the inn as soon as possible, Song Kai believed that in big places like Luoyang and Chang'an, his Hongchen inn would be even more popular.

Although it was a cold winter, there were not many pedestrians in Luoyang City, Song Kai asked the reason, it turned out that it was because of the turmoil, and the rich merchants in the area of Henan Road all hid in Luoyang City.

"It is said that the capital will be moved soon," Shi said in a low voice, "The capital will be moved to Luoyang, and when the time comes, this city will be the largest and strongest city in the Tang Kingdom." ”

"Move the capital?" Song Kai was strange.

"Yes, Xue Gong took the lead in stopping it before, but I didn't expect that after more than ten years, the capital will be moved again, hey, this time the capital is moved, but the people will suffer again," Shi sighed.

"Why do you want to move the capital?" Song Kai asked, "Isn't Chang'an City bad?" ”

"How can it be bad," Shi explained, "but Chang'an City is close to the Western Regions, and there have been many defeats in the war there recently, so it is estimated that it is ...... Ahem, let's not talk about this reason, anyway, if the capital is moved, the price of goods in Luoyang City will definitely rise, and the people from Chang'an to Luoyang will probably suffer even more. ”

Song Kai nodded, and as he spoke, he had already arrived at Shi's home.

As soon as the stone pushed open the door, he saw five men standing in the courtyard menacingly.

As soon as the five people saw the stone, they immediately walked over.

"Bastard! You liar! I thought you wouldn't dare go home today! Led by a handsome boy in his twenties, he grabbed the neckline of the stone.

Shi hurriedly waved his hand, "Young Master Liu has something to say, something to say." ”

"Phew! Say a fart! The package ticket you played will definitely be able to settle us and others, and now that these things have happened, do you have anything to say! The man exclaimed.

"I didn't expect it, in this way, let's sum it up, if not, I'll return the ten taels of gold to you," the stone arched his hand, and said softly.

"You think beautifully, the store is rented by you, with a ten-year term, more than three hundred taels of gold, can you afford to pay for this money!" The handsome boy cursed, and pushed the stone away angrily, "You hurry up and think of a way, otherwise, don't think about it." ”

Stone grievances.

Feng Tian, who was beside Song Kai, couldn't help but gloat when he saw this, he whispered to Song Kai: "Young master, you see, this stone is really unreliable, no, people's former customers have come to the door." ”

Shi Shi cried with a sad face and said, "Young Master Liu, let's slow down for a while, and I'll settle Song Lang and the others first." ”

Then Young Master Liu looked at Song Kai, snorted, and said, "Do you want to continue to deceive people?" (To be continued......)

ps: Thank you for the unhindered, Leng Yichenfeng's reward support, one shift for the time being today, and if everything goes well tomorrow, there should be three more.
