The next two days seemed to be extraordinarily peaceful, except for the tabloids on the streets and some media that focused on attracting the attention of young people, who were still speculating and arguing about the marriage of Qin Du, the military and political envoy of the Northwest County and the governor of Northern Loulan, the important media of the empire turned their attention to the selection of several important annual rankings.

The military action of the two Lin Lang families in the south to send troops to the Union of Romania and Burma to "safeguard the survival interests of the Great Qin people in the region" also caused some shock in the imperial government and the opposition, but with the last military action of Qin Dusk, it seems that the views of the two families in the government and the opposition are much stronger, at least the emperor and some important ministers did not have a heated debate on this matter, and even the conservative representatives who were expected to strongly oppose it at the beginning only expressed some ambiguous views, There was no such situation as when Qin Dui sent troops to Beiloulan, which caused Qin Duan to sigh at the injustice of the world.

The media also reported on this situation impartially, and although it was not explicitly affirmed, the implication was very clear: the survival interests of the Great Qin people could not be tolerated, even in other countries.

Qin Dui vaguely felt that there had been a slight change in the strategic policy of the empire, the three main divisions of the City Guard Corps went south to join the Wuhu Theater, and the obvious reduction of the army forces defending the two counties of Sanjiang and Tiannan was irrefutably told Qin Dui who this was aimed at, and it was conceivable how much pressure the Maqi Khans would be under, and Qin Dui was also mixed with the change in the realistic mentality of His Majesty the Emperor, and was also full of worries about his own future.

After the third day of the Spring Festival, the streets suddenly became lively, and after passing through relatives and congratulating each other, people began to enjoy a rare leisure. From the third day of the Spring Festival to the fifteenth day, the Lantern Festival is the most comfortable day for the people of the Great Qin people, and this period is the legal rest period of the empire. In addition to the variety of cultural celebrations, the commercial, entertainment and service industries also seized this time to set off a consumption upsurge, while the imperial administrations and other industries were mostly closed.

The Imperial Chamber of Commerce is located on Guihu Avenue in the South 1st District, and it is a building that does not look very inconspicuous, but the style of this building is very simple and unique, giving people a lot of affinity. The building is a beam structure, there are also bucket arches, into a horizontal rectangle, the shape of the delicate curved roof and the eaves wing angle, all of them are ingenious, breathtaking, but belong to the fine art of the Great Qin nationality.

Surrounded by the Chamber of Commerce were many teahouses and clubhouses of various sizes, which were not only a place for merchants from all over the empire to rest, but also the best place for merchants to obtain information and negotiate business.

Fengming Tower is a large teahouse next to the Imperial Chamber of Commerce. In fact, although it is a teahouse, it is only two floors, this teahouse is quite large, the first floor can accommodate three or four hundred people to drink tea and talk at the same time, and the second floor has many private rooms for businessmen to negotiate important business. It's also in a pretty good location, right between the Chamber of Commerce and several business media headquarters, so it's crowded every day.

When Qin Duan and Master Li and Wei Xianxian, who were dressed as men, stepped into Fengming Tower, although breakfast time had just passed. But the spacious first-floor hall was already half full. After choosing a suitable position, Qin Duan and the second daughter sat among several groups of merchants.

Qin Du wanted to experience the folk life of the imperial capital. The vicinity of the Jiuwen Imperial Chamber of Commerce is the best place to understand the situation, and Fengming Tower is one of the best, and Qin Duan, who wants to know the situation in person, has this micro-service trip.

Looking at the situation, the enthusiasm of today's businessmen is very high, Qin Duan carefully observed the businessmen who were talking about Xing Fangnong around him, and from time to time there were businessmen who had just arrived to join their respective circles, obviously they were all acquaintances. The pardons who poured tea and water were very busy. From time to time, newsboys passed by to deliver the latest newspapers to businessmen who needed to know the news, and Qin Dui's attention was soon attracted by the dazzle of a group of businessmen on his left.

"Brother Huang, why are you still hoarding coffee, now that the price has risen so high, it's not cost-effective for you to do this. Don't you know that Beiloulan has been occupied by the Empire, and coffee will soon be shipped in large quantities? A short, thin merchant asked with concern about the fat horse-faced man sitting across from him.

"Hehe, brother, this is my exclusive secret, if you want to know, how about you spend light in the water at noon today?" The horse-faced fat man had a smug smile on his face.

The short and thin merchant was probably anxious to learn the news, and replied generously: "No problem, I'll be the east at noon today, and everyone will be together, and the flowers in the water will be the flowers in the water." ”

Seeing that the short and thin merchant was so refreshing, the horse-faced man was not good at taking the price again, and explained proudly: "Yes, Beiloulan is indeed owned by the empire, but as far as I know, the road from Northwest Dechuan to Beiloulan is only the section of Dechuan, but the road conditions in Beiloulan are very poor, and Beiloulan has just been incorporated into the imperial rule, and the people's hearts are not stable, I am worried that this year's coffee production there may not be as good as last year, and the coffee produced in Loulan mainly comes from the original central and southern Loulan, and the output in the north is not large at present, But everyone knows that the war between Loulan and its neighbors has not been extinguished, and coffee production will definitely have a great impact, and since the war on the southern front, there is no sign of a truce at all, so I judge that coffee prices will rise this year. ”

"Yes, I also heard that there are already three divisions of troops in the city guard army going south, it seems that His Majesty the Emperor has made up his mind to fight a battle with the Maqi Khan, then Sanjiang County and Tiannan County have turned their faces with the Nanyang Alliance, I don't think the southern passage is to be counted on, the price of this coffee will definitely rise." Another businessman chimed in.

"But I also got a piece of news, I heard that the situation in Beiloulan is very stable, and the road from Beiloulan to Northwest Tokuchuan is being built intensively, and I heard that even the Spring Festival will not be stopped, but the number of Daqin people over there is not much, maybe it will not have any impact."

A brocade-robed merchant objected, "If the situation in Beiloulan is stable and the road can be completed quickly, then the coffee production in Beiloulan will definitely increase greatly, and this should also be taken into account, Brother Huang." ”

"Well, I have also considered this, but I have observed that coffee has become more and more popular in recent years, and the demand for coffee has also increased, and I estimate that even if Beiloulan expands its production, I am afraid it will not be enough to offset the gap of increased consumption, so I concluded that the price of coffee will rise, and everyone who is interested can give it a try."

Although the horse-faced man looked like a pig, his brain was really useful, taking into account not only the increase or decrease in production, but also the change in consumption.

Qin Duan, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help but look at this guy twice, well, look at the appearance of the fat man, the so-called pig statue on his face, and his heart is bright, probably referring to this kind of person. (To be continued......)
