When the first glimmer of morning light rose from the east of the earth, the sleeping Chang'an began to gradually glow with vitality, and in the square market separated by the cement wall, a group of elderly people wearing yellow clothes came out, they wore masks, held brooms, lined up in an orderly manner, and came to the somewhat empty Chang'an Street according to the group, raised the broom in their hands, and carefully cleaned the street.

Since the abolition of the curfew, the people of Chang'an have generally become a little late, and the prosperity of the nightlife has made the Tang people change the life pattern of 'working at sunrise and resting at sunset' for thousands of years, and they will return home to rest after three watches every day, in contrast, the time for the Tang people to get up in the morning has gradually been postponed.

In order to take care of the people of Chang'an, Li Er also gave an amnesty order to postpone the ringing of the morning drum bell for half an hour.

Therefore, when the sky was bright, Chang'an seemed to be completely rejuvenated, and people began to come out one after another in various squares and courtyards, some on bicycles, some by bus, and on foot.

The streets began to be bustling, and the whole city seemed to wake up from a sleep, with a lot of traffic and people coming and going, starting the day of the most majestic capital in history.

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers! The latest edition of "Datang News"! An exclusive interview with European businessman Cha Takayama! Cover the events in Europe and pre-order as soon as possible! Only 10 left! First come, first served! ”

"Nickname Outside! "Business Daily" reported: European businessmen earn 100,000 yuan a year doing business in Datang! ”

In the latest issue of "Science and Technology News", Mr. Yuan Tiangang, dean of the School of Chemistry of Nanshan Academy and the first person of Datang Taoism, said that asphalt roads have been developed. It is now in the final stage of production. Chang'an will build all roads into asphalt roads within three years! ……”……

Early in the morning on Chang'an Avenue. There are many bright-looking children waving newspapers in their hands and shouting excitedly on the street, attracting passers-by to buy a newspaper to read.

Of course, their cries were not in vain, and from time to time merchants in splendid clothes bought newspapers from them.

"Boy, bring me a newspaper." A young man in a black scholar's robe said to the newspaper boy.

"Okay boy, you can take your newspaper, a total of thirty yuan."

The young man in the robe pulled his right hand into his cuff and pulled out a piece of banknote. Nunu mouthed, and said with an arrogant expression: "Fifty bills, don't look for them." ”

When the little boy heard this, he immediately smiled, and shouted: "Thank you Childe, thank you Childe." ”

At this time, the young man in the robe had already walked away, passed through the flow of people, and walked into a teahouse that looked a little more high-end......

"Xiao Er, a West Lake Longjing, a plate of peanuts." The young man in the robe came into the teahouse. Walk straight to a chair by the window and sit there every morning to listen to the newspaper. It has almost become a regular rule of his life.

Seeing the young man in the black robe come in, the little second in the teahouse suddenly smiled, this is the son of the Chen family in Chang'an, although the Chen family is not a wealthy family, but the life is also solid, as the eldest son of the Chen family, the young man in the black robe has always been generous, and every time there will be a tip to send them away.

Holding the tea, holding a small plate of peanuts in his hand, the shopkeeper walked to the table with a flattering face, "Chen Gongzi, the West Lake Longjing you want, and a plate of peanuts, a total of four and five hundred Wen." ”

"Hmm." The black-robed young man didn't mind at all, nodded, touched it from the cuff, then frowned, and took out a dark green banknote.

"I didn't bring change today, I didn't have five guan money, so I gave ten guan." The black-robed man said lightly.

Hearing the man in the black robe say this, the shopkeeper's eyes were straight when he looked at the ten-dollar banknote, but he had been in the human field for so many years, so that he knew how to interact with people, and blind greed would often leave a bad influence on others, and he would not do this kind of thing of killing chickens and taking eggs.

"Chen Gongzi, what are you talking about, you take care of the small shop business so much, how dare I charge more of your money, so let's do it, you won't take your money tomorrow." The shopkeeper's face was full of flattery.

The black-robed young man seemed to be very satisfied with the attitude of the shopkeeper, and he also nodded, paused, and then pointed to the empty chair in the center of the teahouse hall and asked, "What about Mr. Liu, why didn't you see others, didn't you report today?" ”

When the shopkeeper heard the inquiry, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Liu cleared his throat and felt a little uncomfortable, so he went to see Lang Zhong, took a pair of throat clearing and expectorant medicine, and will come in a while." ”

Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, he heard a slight agitation in the hall of the teahouse, and a trembling old man sat on a chair in the center of the hall with the support of the two little servants.

The old man was dressed in a green robe, looking very calm and kind, sitting on a chair in the hall, and smiled at the people in the hall: "Thank you for remembering, the old man got up at noon and felt a little unwell, and went to see Langzhong, it was only a little late, and I would like to invite you to watch the old man Haihan." ”

"Liu Lao should pay attention to his body bones!"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Liu is one of the most knowledgeable old men in our Pingle Fang, and taking care of his body is the first thing."

"If Elder Liu is unwell, then I will come back tomorrow." The hall was full of voices of understanding, which also made the old man very moved, and said with a pleased smile: "Thanks to your love, the old man is only a little cold in his throat, and it is not a big problem, so you don't need to worry." ”

The people in the hall stopped, and when the hall was quiet, the old man held up a huge newspaper on the table with a dignified look, squinted his eyes and said: "Today, we have news about Europe in our "Datang News", but this time it is a European businessman......

Cui Dafu walked out of the teahouse, and judging from his expression, he seemed to be very satisfied with today's teahouse presentation.

Cui Dafu is a seafood merchant in Chang'an, his family originally sold tofu, at the beginning of the construction of Taicang Wharf, Cui Dafu moved the tofu shop from Chang'an to Taicang, and as a result, he made a lot of money there and became a well-known local wealthy businessman in Taicang.

Since then, Cui Dafu has made his home in Taicang, because of the proximity to the dock, so he has also been exposed to a lot of knowledge about the sea over the years, and finally he found a business opportunity for seafood.

The ocean-going team returning from Taicang would bring a large amount of seafood every time, but many of the seafood could not be sold, and finally had to be taken away by those small seafood merchants at a very low price.

After Cui Dafu invested in seafood, he collected it at a low price and sold it at a high price, and he also learned a way to put those seafood into bottles made of glass, called 'cans', and he could earn several times the profit at once.

However, making money is making money, but being a businessman is also an extremely hard job, every day to get up early and be greedy, there is no time to rest, Cui Dafu believes that the life of a businessman in the Tang Dynasty is not as easy as published in the newspaper, although he makes a lot of money, but he has to pay all kinds of taxes and bear all kinds of investment risks.

But listening to the newspaper in the teahouse today, Cui Dafu heard that the European named Cha Dashan also said the same thing in the newspaper, and he immediately felt comfortable, it turned out that being a businessman, no matter who it was, no matter what country it was, had to face such a problem.

Just thinking about it, I had already walked to the bus stop and looked at the stop sign on the platform: the terminal station 'Taicang'. Cui Dafu smiled again, I heard that another batch of ocean-going fleets have returned today, it seems that it is still a fleet from Australia, and he can make a lot of money again.

"Get on the bus and buy a ticket! One person five! A steam engine belching black smoke stopped in front of the group, and a rather young man in the car shouted at the top of his voice.

Cui Dafu took out a blue banknote from his cuff, took the lead in front of everyone and got on the steam car, handed the banknote to the young man, and said loudly: "Taicang Wharf." ”

"Taicang, this master, please be good. Next! (To be continued......)
