As a city with a population of hundreds of thousands, only two markets have been opened, and the huge flow of people determines huge business opportunities.

The whole West Market, is based on the location, with A, B, C and D to distinguish, the geographical location, the size of the shop, the style, etc., there are strict regulations, the most conspicuous feature is that the interior can be decorated as you like, but the style of decoration, the drawings of the building, must be designated by the government, so that the style looks neat and unified, and it seems neat and orderly.

"Hu cake, the freshly baked Hu cake is fragrant and crispy, I guarantee you eat one, and you want one."

"The rouge that just came, it's fine and smooth, little lady, try it if you don't buy it."

"There are all kinds of novelties in our store."

"Selling wine, Xingyang Fuchun, Fenzhou Laoqu, Yingzhou Fushui, Wucheng Ruoxia, Xingyang Cave Spring, Fuping Stone Frozen Spring, Jiannan Burning Spring, everything is there"

"Walk by, don't miss it, Tianshan Snow Lotus, eat it to prolong life."

The bustling city, the very mature business system, and the guys shouting hard, forming a very special atmosphere, making people feel lively and prosperous.

Liu Yuan found that because the requirements of the store in the B block are not high, and the job is not large, it is conducive to the flexible operation of businessmen, and the variety of commercial goods is also varied, the intersection of goods from the south to the north, and the collision of Datang and foreign cultures are all reflected here.

The Hu people are not the people of the Hu nationality, but the general name of the Tang people for exotic merchants, because most of the merchants who came to the Tang Dynasty to do business at that time were merchants from Tianzhu (India), Piguo (Burma), Persia (Yilang) and other places, among which Persians were the mainstay. These merchants sent spices, medicinal herbs, ivory and other things to the Tang Dynasty, and of course, they also sent the obsessive orchids, the glamorous and tall Central Asian beauties, and when they left, they loaded the silk, porcelain and other items of the Tang Dynasty on camels and horses, and transported them back to China for sale.

Where there are people, there are business opportunities, and Liu Yuan walked in the crowd. I felt a little emotional, and secretly thought about how to get another sum of money as soon as possible.

This is also the first time that Liu Yuan has seriously visited the street market in Chang'an, and after visiting the scene, he found that there is a difference between imagination and reality. Such as the huge scale of Chang'an, the handiwork of the emperor. are all admired by Liu Yuan. It is the ambition of these emperors to constantly forge ahead, which makes the Chinese civilization more and more brilliant and the territory more and more extensive.

However, there is also a bad point, that is, the meticulous construction.

Liu Yuan's ideal is Chang'an, prosperous as smoke. One after another, the car is like flowing water and the horse is like a dragon, indescribably prosperous, and inexhaustible. But there is a gap between the ideal and the reality, for example, there are richly dressed nobles, there are poor people in ragged clothes, there are beautiful women and ugly women, the walls of the street are built of rammed earth, the height is less than two meters, plus the sun and rain, it looks a little dilapidated, the most surprising thing for Liu Yuan is that the streets of Chang'an.

In addition to the 150-meter-wide Suzaku Street, like other streets are not narrow, usually about ten meters, in the layout and planning enough, but in detail, there are still a lot of deficiencies, the most unacceptable thing for Liu Yuan is that Chang'an City, even the main street, or mud road, it is said to be paved with yellow mud, and then compacted, for a long time, there will always be a little uneven, sitting under the carriage, always feel a little shaky, I have always thought that Chang'an is paved with stones, very strong, very beautiful streets.

No wonder those noble children bully men and women, they all ride horses to appear, only heard that some people hurt people on horses, and rarely hear that they hurt people by riding horses.

"Shopkeeper, how do you buy this medicine?"

Liu Yuan was walking, thinking about whether he was trying to figure out the spring and make a windfall, but he didn't expect to hear someone next to him asking in a blunt Tang dialect, which was a bit weird, and he couldn't help but twist and look at it curiously, it turned out to be a middle-aged man wearing a sheepskin hat, who was squatting down and talking about the price with an old man who sold wild tea.

"Oh, you're talking about this wild tea, a hundred copper coins a catty, guest officer, how much do you want."

"No, you're a crude medicine, no, it's a rough tea, you see, there are so many stalks, it's cheaper."

"A hundred copper coins are not expensive, and it is not convenient for the old man to go up the mountain to pick tea."

The two naturally bargained, Liu Yuan on the side listened, and couldn't help but think of his dead cheap master, who was also a cheap old man Yuan bald, at that time he also liked to drink tea, he didn't feel anything, but later I learned that this tea did not rise in the early Tang Dynasty, tea, and as a kind of medicine stored in the drawer of the drugstore, when drinking, put salt and sugar, ginger and other things together, far from being so exquisite, there are not many people who drink tea, only like Yangzhou, Luoyang, Chang'an, these prosperous cities have special tea shops for sale, tea is really popular all over the country, and tea is exchanged for gold, silver, etc., it will take another hundred years, and when Lu Yu, known as the tea saint, is born, at that time, tea will be prosperous.

The man who bought tea, no need to ask, with the smell of the fishy smell on his body, you can know that he is a Turk, usually eats too much meat, and uses tea to adjust the stomach, it is estimated that this tea is called medicine.

Hey, Liu Yuan's eyes are high: These things, if they are operated well, are definitely a profitable business.

However, now is not the time to make tea, firstly, I have little experience, and secondly, the current output of tea is not high, so I can only make a long-term plan to solve the current poverty situation, or to make a quick buck.

Liu Yuan put his idea where the gold is, and is ready to use the experience of making gold in Jinshuihe here again, Chang'an is more prosperous than Yangzhou, and there should be more gold and silver here, which is also one of the reasons why Liu Yuan did not hesitate to invest all the money into it, because silver is easy to come by.

It's this street, it's all gold shops, it seems to be a jewelry street, at a glance, Qianjinlou, Jinling Pavilion, Duobao shop, Jinyu edge and other gold shops, lined up, it looks very imposing,

Nima! To say the least, there are two or three hundred.

The more the merrier, although peers are enemies, but Liu Yuan's positioning is different from these people, because these people are not enough to trouble, no matter how many families, Liu Yuan only needs to defeat Jin Supreme. When the time comes, you can do whatever you want.

"I'm X, who is so lacking in virtue?" As soon as Liu Yuan went around to the back of the jewelry street, he couldn't help but burst out, only to see that the river behind him was crystal clear, the water was murmuring, and there were small fish swimming in it, this, is this like a river polluted by heavy metals?

First, there is living water in this area, which is constantly replaced and washed. Second, it is obvious that the river has just been cleaned up, and this clearing is to clear the gold in the river mud.

After a while, Liu Yuan saw an old man walking by the river. You asked very politely: "This old man, I don't know if I can ask something?" ”

Liu Yuan looked respectful and polite. It made the old man happy. smiled and said, "What does Xiao Langjun want to ask?" ”

"I don't know when this river was cleaned up?"

The old man smiled and said: "Every year in spring and autumn, it will be cleaned up, last month the Ministry of Industry sent someone to clean up, I heard that it is to celebrate the Shangyuan Festival, and then it will be to the river to put up lights." ”

Liu Yuan asked a little reluctantly: "I don't know where this river mud is transported?" ”

"This old body is gone. I heard that it was transported to build a dam, but as for where, it is impossible to know. ”

After Liu Yuan thanked his father-in-law, he walked back in a low mood. Can you not be lost, I thought that Chang'an was more prosperous than Yangzhou, and I didn't want to find out a lot more gold and silver than where the Jinshui River took out, but it was as much as the gold and silver that the Jinshui River took out, Liu Yuan felt good, but I didn't expect that there was nothing, Liu Yuan didn't inquire, and the mud was taken to build a dam, even if he inquired about where it was, he didn't dare to dig it.

Digging dikes? That is to look for death, and if you are unlucky, you will have a share in killing your head.

Secretly liquidated the silver on his body, Liu Yuan's face grew immediately, he estimated that there were about fifty taels, but he didn't expect it, but in fact, it was only more than twenty taels, it is estimated that he was used to being lavish, and he didn't know what to do after spending it.

The exact figure is only twenty-three taels, plus two hundred copper coins.

Cold death, just this bit of silver, not to mention running a business, buying a house and buying a slave, even if you live in Chang'an, you won't be able to live for long, even if you do business, you have to have capital.

Do you really want to go back to Cui Mansion and bow to Cui Jing's old boy? Thinking of Cui Jing's old boy's lofty expression, Liu Yuan shook his head again and again.

It's hard to earn back some face, but you can't just fold it like this, but it's just doing business, where does the money come from?

"Hey, call you, why can't you hear me all the time?" While walking, I was fascinated by my thoughts, and suddenly someone pulled my sleeve, and a familiar but dissatisfied voice sounded in my ears.

Turning her head, it's not who Chun'er is, this little girl is wearing a pink dress, pouting, looking at Liu Yuan angrily, with an unhappy face, like a little pepper.

Liu Yuan said funny: "Heh, it's you, I was thinking about something just now, but I didn't pay attention to it, what's the matter, you have something to do with me?" ”

Chun'er stuffed a money bag in her hand into Liu Yuan's hand, and said unhappily, "Take it, Miss asked me to give it to you." ”

"What did it come from?"

"You don't have eyes, open it and see if you know it."

As soon as he got his hand, he opened it heavily, and sure enough, there were several ingots of silver in it, one of ten taels of small gold ingots, and ten taels of silver ingots, adding up to two hundred taels of silver.

Liu Yuan said in surprise: "This, this is?" ”

"My young lady will pay you back, don't say that our young lady is lazy and won't pay back if she has money." Chun'er said with an unhappy face.

By the way, Chun'er is Cui Mengyao's personal maidservant, Chun'er is here, then Cui Mengyao must be here, Liu Yuan opened his eyes and looked around, and soon, Liu Yuan found those beautiful and amorous eyes in a carriage about ten steps away from him.

It's Cui Mengyao.

Some days I haven't seen her, Cui Mengyao has cleared up a little, her original slightly childish face has become more and more beautiful and charming, those big eyes, like a pool of water, no matter how you look at it, you can't see the bottom, which deeply attracted Liu Yuan's heart, just a glance, and he was reluctant to move away.

Unexpectedly, when we met again, it was on the street where people came and went, the eyes were opposite, and they were relatively speechless, but the affection in those eyes could only be understood, not spoken, at that moment, let the street people come and go, in a noisy environment, but in the eyes of the two, as if everything around them did not exist, at this time silence is better than sound.

Cui Mengyao is a girl in the boudoir after all, looking at it, a trace of blush slowly climbed up to the pretty face that can be broken, a little shy and smiled at Liu Yuan, and then quickly put down the bead curtain, not daring to look at Liu Yuan.

"Look at what, my young lady doesn't look at you anymore." Chun'er said as she walked back a little unwillingly, took two steps, and said to Liu Yuan a little unwillingly: "You are really a big fool, how can you donate all your silver, you want to starve yourself." ”

After saying that, he took three steps and two steps into the carriage, and soon the carriage disappeared into the flow of people. (To be continued.) )

PS: Meng Yao sat on the carriage, looked at the group of book friends who were staring at her figure and drooling, and smiled: "Everyone, vote for a guaranteed monthly ticket for my artillery, the slave family is polite." ”
