The eastern sky has just brightened, the sun has not yet risen, the little white clouds are slowly dyed red, the morning glow is dense, and the whole Luoyang City has ushered in a new day.

The air in the early morning is exceptionally fresh, and the whole Luoyang City slowly wakes up from the silence, and people go out one after another to start a busy day.

People who are worried about the country and the people look at the east and lament, where Li Mi's soldiers are flourishing, and the court is losing and retreating.

For most ordinary people, running around for a new day's firewood, rice, oil and salt is the right thing, and now life in Luoyang is becoming more and more unhappy.

Due to the military emergency, Luoyang City is about to be closed, there is only one hour of events in and out every day, and there is a shortage of materials, prices are soaring, and ordinary people are really unbearable.

Zhou He is in such a situation.

Zhou Henai is an ordinary resident of Luoyang, who usually does business in Luoyang City, and has a good life.

But since the start of the war, prices in Luoyang have skyrocketed, and with the blockade of the whole city, his business can no longer be done.

lost the source of money, but life continued, and in his wife's constant complaints, Zhou He reluctantly went out.

As soon as I stepped out of the gate, I saw countless people running towards Dongshi en masse.

Luoyang City is similar to Daxing City, it is also divided into East City and West City, but Luoyang's East Market is the most prosperous, relying on the continuous transportation of the Grand Canal, the entire East Market has goods from all over the country.

Daxing Chengxi City and Luoyang Chengdong City, which are full of treasures from the Western Regions, are the largest and most luxurious bazaars in the world.

But really compare. In terms of taxation and scale, the east city of Luoyang City is more than the west city of Daxing City.

Unfortunately, with the rise of Li Mi, the Grand Canal has been cut off, all the goods can no longer be transported, and the eastern city of Luoyang City has completely decayed.

With the loss of supply, nearly half of the merchants in the entire East Market have closed, and the tax collectors in the East Market have not collected taxes for two whole months.

Now Luoyang City's tax revenue has dropped to a record low, and it is increasingly dependent on Daxing City's early loans to pay taxes in terms of financial resources.

So when Yang Yoo proposed. When organizing merchants to come to Luoyang City. After several arguments, the ministers of Luoyang reluctantly agreed to enter Luoyang with the goods of Daxing City.

Looking at the rushing crowd in front of him, Zhou He was very surprised, grabbed a neighbor and asked, "What are you all doing here!" ‘

'You don't know yet?' The neighbor said in surprise.

'Now hurry up and go shopping in the East Market.' If it's too late, it's too late. The neighbor said anxiously.

East City. Zhou He sneered. Most of the shops in the East Market have long since closed, and you can't buy anything there.

You don't know that! At three o'clock in the morning, more than 2,000 four-wheeled carriages loaded with goods had entered Luoyang City. It is now being sold in Higashi City. ‘

'Really! Zhou He grabbed the neighborhood hard and said excitedly......

In fact, 2,500 carriages entered Luoyang City, and such a huge momentum had already alarmed many people.

It's just that Zhou He lives in a relatively remote place and doesn't know.

'Let's go, or it'll be too late.' The neighbor urged.

Isn't there more than 2,000 truckloads of goods! There are so many that they won't be sold out for a while. Zhou He said indifferently.

'You stupid! With so many people in Luoyang, how can more than 2,000 truckloads of goods be divided? The neighbors looked at Zhou He with a look of contempt.

Zhou He thought in his heart, too! Hurriedly ran to Dongshi, relying on his youth and strength, and soon left his neighbors far behind.

"I rely on ......" The neighbors saw that they were not righteous and peaceful, and they were angry and scolded.

Before I arrived in the East Market, I heard a lively commotion, such a common scene in the East Market had not appeared for several months.

Zhou He rushed to the East Market, which was already crowded with people at this moment, the shops on both sides were already full of goods, there were shouts of selling everywhere, and everyone was making crazy purchases.

This plan, Daxingcheng has been preparing for a long time, and the whole street of Dongshi has been put down, and when the goods are pulled to Dongshi, they are immediately put on the shelves.

Zhou He saw a dazzling array of goods, a bustling crowd, and a shouting of small merchants and vendors, as if he had returned to the prosperous moment of Luoyang East City half a year ago.

Oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are essential things at home, and the importance of salt is in the first place.

Zhou He struggled to squeeze into the crowd and began to look for various stalls, wanting to buy salt.

'Sorry, no, no. ‘

'Sorry, it's done. ‘

Zhou Heyi didn't even find a few shops to buy, either he didn't have it or he finished it.

Although the sales of salt are very wide and there is no worry about sales, the salt is too heavy and inconvenient to transport.

In order to share the risk, many merchants brought some salt, but not too much, or some merchants did not bring it at all.

Zhou He looked for a few more, and finally found one, and there was salt here.

Zhou He stepped forward to take a look and tasted it again, the salt was good, it was all high-grade green salt.

Merchants can only double the price of goods transported to Daxing City, and of course they will not bring low-grade goods, all of which are high-grade green salt. The price is more expensive, plus double to make more profits.

'Guy, two pounds of green salt!' Zhou He shouted at a fifteen or sixteen-year-old man.

'Good Lat! The man replied, his voice dragged on for a long time, obviously he was in a very happy mood, although he was tired today, but the salary of the owner was not low.

The man quickly shoveled a shovel of salt, put it on the scale, and weighed it skillfully.

The other guy immediately took the weighed table salt, handed it to Zhou He and said, 'Three hundred and twenty wen! ‘

'Three hundred and twenty wen! Zhou He exclaimed.

'This big brother, this is a high-grade green salt, even if it is placed in normal times, it also needs five cents and one tael. Now ten dollars and one tael is already very kind. One catty of sixteen taels, a total of one hundred and sixty wen, two catties of high-grade green salt, a total of three hundred and twenty wen. The man said skillfully.

However, he didn't know that Zhou He was not shocked that the prices were expensive, but thought that these prices were cheap.

Now the prices in Luoyang are soaring, and many merchants are hoarding and raising prices, and the price of high-quality green salt has already risen to 20 wen and one tael. Now ten cents a tael is already sky-low.

'Not expensive, not expensive! Zhou He said in a loud voice, hurriedly handed over the copper coin, and took the salt.

With these two catties of salt, their family will no longer have to eat those light meals in the future.

Zhou He looked at the salt in his hand, and before he left, he saw a middle-aged man with a big belly and luxurious clothes coming.

'Call your host, we have big business to talk about.' The middle-aged man said, with a hint of arrogance in his tone.

With a hundred truckloads of goods per household, it is impossible to send only the shopkeeper to such a large business.

Only the owner comes forward is justified, so the middle-aged man directly asks to see the owner by name. (To be continued......)
