Chapter 681: He Jiazhuang
After saying this, it may seem a little harsh, but Mr. Tian said in a slow tone, "I know that you have a lot of grievances in your heart, but before you reach a high position, it is useless to do or not to do it, and it will even backfire." “
Sun Chuanting was speechless for a long time, so he rode on the horse and walked for a while, and then he exhaled and said, "You should go to Hejiazhuang before dark." ”
As the road progressed, the scenery along the road is really getting better and better, farmland is renovated, ditches are vertical and horizontal, although it is past the autumn harvest at this time, it can be seen that this year's harvest is good, there are more and more carts on the road, they are full of goods, and there are more and more warriors on horseback, which makes the guards around Sun Chuanting more and more nervous, and only later did he find out that it has nothing to do with them.
"Compared with the Quli shop, it doesn't seem to be so lively." Sun Chuanting was in a calm mood, and he also had the heart to pay attention to his surroundings.
Mr. Tian nodded immediately, but replied, "But there are not so many people anymore, and there are many merchants." ”
Because of the agitated mood, I didn't pay much attention to the surroundings along the way, so the group did not stop, and there was no delay on the road, and when I arrived at Hejiazhuang, the sun had not yet set.
After seeing the periphery of Hejiazhuang, Sun Chuanting and the people around him couldn't help but stop their horses and looked forward in a daze.
What a big town! What a prosperous place! It's neatly placed!
"Is this Xuzhou City? But where did the city wall go? Someone muttered, no one heeded him, and no one would have believed that there was such a place without the walls unless they had seen it with their own eyes.
Straight streets, uniformly styled houses, sometimes two- or three-story buildings, the streets are smooth and wide, pedestrians and cars come in and out, and the sunset sun shines on this building, making people feel that this is made of gold!
Looking at the past from afar, they can only see these, but everyone's hearts are shocked, in their minds, the city is the center, only there can be prosperous and rich, but this mirage in front of them seems to be made out of thin air, everyone can't think of how to appear, and how to appear here.
"Grandma, don't be afraid of the bandits coming over, this has to be washed away," said one of the housekeepers.
Without the city wall to block the guards, how can they stop bandits and military disasters, such a prosperous place is equivalent to placing gold and silver in the center of the road, waiting for others to rob it, don't the merchants who do business realize this? How dare you rest assured that you are operating here, and besides, after the canal is diverted, isn't Xuzhou completely defeated? How can it be so neat and prosperous, without the commercial convenience brought by Caoyun, relying on the harvest of farming, and a barren place like Xuzhou, it will definitely wither and fall, how can it be done to this point.
All kinds of ideas, but everyone is speechless, but in this case, the people near Hejiazhuang seem to be not surprised, the city is leveled, anyone who sees that there is no city wall around, and it is not a canal hub, there is such a neat and magnificent town, will be stunned.
"A few guest officers, my inn is clean and spacious, the chef stews mutton in one hand, and even people from Feng County and Pei County come to eat, and you can also drink Hanjing's famous wine, come and live!" I didn't stay long, and immediately a guy from the inn came to pick it up.
"Look at the prince like this, it must have been hard along the way, my family has a separate courtyard, and there are maids in the yard to serve, a qiē is very comfortable, what you want to eat can go to the revitalization building next door to call for food, you are satisfied!" Someone else came.
Sun Chuanting reacted at this time, shook his head in dismay, and said, "Let's go to the Yunshan Inn." ”
This way two nights are all Yunshan Inn, I already feel that the rules here are clean and convenient, live at ease, I didn't expect this to come out, the guys below are laughing, one person said: "Son, you come to Hejiazhuang for the first time, Yunshan Inn is not the best in our side, although it is not bad, but a big car shop has changed, and the place is not spacious enough." ”
Sun Chuanting didn't bother to talk to them more, the guys didn't entangle, they scattered to attract the next group of guests, Sun Chuanting and they were about to go to the street to take a look, before they entered the street, a young man who looked like a village warrior came to stop, Sun Chuanting's family members exchanged glances with each other, some were on guard, some took out scattered silver, and they were afraid that it was the local Ding Zhuang who extorted benefits.
"A few of the guests are new here! Horseback riding is not allowed on the streets, so you either have to stay and store your horses or lead them in, otherwise you will be fined heavily. The young man said expressionlessly.
Sun Chuanting frowned, not allowed to ride a horse inside, what kind of rule is this, I thought it was an opportunity to blackmail, but when he saw everyone either dismounting or walking, he knew that the other party was just reminding, nodded at the moment, turned over and dismounted.
As soon as they got off the horse, a middle-aged man in his forties came over with a smile, nodded and said: "This prince must be the first time to come to Hejiazhuang, our rules here are different from those elsewhere, and there are some new places to do business, it is very inconvenient to lead the way, the small Qi Wu, is to make a living as a guide to the commentary, it will be an hour and a half before it gets dark, and the one hundred small ones are willing to lead the way, how about it?" ”
The young man who came out to remind him to dismount stopped, looked at this side, and said loudly: "In this place, if you are bullied, deceived, or robbed, you can find Yunshan Commercial Bank and Sun Family Commercial Bank to ask for justice, and I will definitely give you an explanation." ”
"Xiaolian, what you said is right, brother, am I that kind of person?" Qi Wu turned around and scolded with a smile.
Sun Chuanting and his entourage did not hesitate, and directly hired this Qi Wu.
At the beginning, Qi Wu first asked Sun Chuanting and his party what business they wanted to do, saying that they had a lot of familiar introductions, Sun Chuanting and others said that they were just looking, Qi Wu didn't care, and said with a smile that he knew that the price of leather goods there was higher, and the preference of the one in the market to receive the goods, and said that if he wanted to buy wine, he also had a way here, but the amount was a big deal, because the soju that went to Shanxi was all covered by Master Wang.
"You have insight, we came from Shanxi to sell leather goods and buy wine." Mr. Tian said with a smile, until now, everyone also understands the identity of Qi Wu, in addition to making money as a guide, he is also looking for opportunities to be a broker.
Seeing that Sun Chuanting and his party had no interest in picking up the stubble, this Qi Wu said that he was familiar with the inn nearby, and he could give everyone a discount in the past, and when he heard that the inn had been decided, he was not disappointed, and led everyone to wander around with a smile, according to his words, "There was a traitor before, and a bureau was set up here to harm the merchants, but after doing it once, it was taken and sent directly to the Jingshan coal kiln, don't think of it in this life, so the small ones are doing business in a proper manner!" ”
"Don't care about the rivers and lakes and green forests?" A family member asked, pretending to be surprised.
"Jin Ye is the big dragon head in the north of the Nanzhili River, this Zhao Tianwang is not called in vain, his old man speaks, who dares to come and toss!" Qi Wu said very truthfully.
"These two sides are the houses of the salt merchants, and they can live here for two months a year, but these people have a lot of money, so they can enjoy it."
"When building these houses, Jin Ye set rules for them, and they can only build similar looks in one place, and they all say that Jin Ye is stunned by the rules, but this is exactly the same regularity, and it is comfortable to look at for a long time."
"You say the one with the basket on his back? That's picking up garbage, there are still people staring at the street, littering things will also be punished for hard labor, and there are public thatched houses to make it convenient for everyone not to be afraid of your jokes, Jin Ye loves to be clean and a little scared, his old man said that there is no epidemic in doing this, let's just listen, anyway, it's clean and comfortable."
"The road here can be made of great effort, this side is okay, it is a gravel road, there is a cow cart for walking, and there are bluestone slabs paved, there are two Zhuangzi laborers nearby, and now they are dedicated to this road repair and road protection, which is no worse than farming!"
"These small houses are the residences of the shopkeepers in the bazaar, the yard is not big, there are many rooms divided into them, anyway, there is a place to sleep for people to do work"
This Qi Wu is very familiar with this street market, and his eloquence is good, when he really knows everything, Sun Chuanting and his people feel that it is eye-opening, and they feel extraordinary outside, and they look at it when they enter the house, but after chatting like this, they find that this is not an ordinary town, "everything here is for business, in order to do business better" Mr. Tian concluded so.
Walked again, but saw a large mansion, this mansion is different from other places, in front of the courtyard to build a pergola, under the pergola stands a few large black planks, two small guys are holding a brush to brush off the white characters painted on the board, surrounded by a group of people dressed in the bookkeeper paperwork, carrying pen, ink, paper and inkstone boxes, there are a bunch of chatting in the east and west, seeing this scene, Qi Wu smiled and said: "Son, you came by chance, this is a scene of Hejiazhuang, today is just in time." ”
After saying this, Qi Wu looked up at the sky, and said with a smile: "Just wait here for a while." ”
Everyone naturally doesn't care, the sun is sinking in the west, almost falling into half of the sky, and it is also a little dim here, and someone picked out a lantern from the house to make it brighter, Qi Wu pointed and said: "The market and the salt market are all in charge of this house, and there are dozens of housekeepers under the hands of the chief manager, and hundreds of guys are busy all the time. ”
"Who's the Grand Steward?"
"Cao Ruhui, when he was a monk, he worshiped under the door of the master, at that time, this Cao Ruhui was a confidant in Yunshan Temple, everyone said that he had no eyesight, but now look at it, it is really a clever calculation, under the hands of the master, in addition to the big manager, there is also the big shopkeeper Zhou Xuezhi, this master is on the side of Qingjiangpu, I heard that the situation is even bigger than the one in front of him!" When it comes to the heroic genealogy of Xuzhou, everyone has a head on the road.

There are still a few hours, the end of this month, everyone take a look at the monthly ticket in their hands and vote for Daming Wufu, otherwise it will be wasted
