Chapter 177: The Old Store Turmoil (Second Update)
How are medium tribes stronger than small tribes?
There is no definite answer to this question. However, after seeing Lingfeng Fort, Yi Han knew that at least in terms of defense, it was difficult for small tribes to compare with medium tribes.
Jijia Village doesn't even have a decent wall, while Lingfeng Fort is a well-established wall.
The city wall is about three zhang high, and all of them are made of huge stones. And there is not even a gap between the boulders, it must be the use of rune technology.
The gates were guarded by guards, and everyone who entered the city had to pay a fee to enter the city. Ten iron coins per person, which is not much. However, there are also a few spirit stones that have benefited from this day.
Moreover, Yi Han observed that there were also some people who could enter the city without paying taxes. After inquiry, I learned that these were people such as village chiefs and elders of small tribes, such as Ji Yin. Although they surrendered to Lingfeng Fort, they were also the cornerstone of Lingfeng Fort's development and growth, and this treatment was still available.
And for them, it's not just a matter of ten iron coins, it's a matter of face. There is no entrance fee, this face is worth more than a few iron coins.
Yi Han naturally doesn't have this face, so they need to pay money. After everyone paid the money, they successfully entered Lingfeng Fort.
At this time, the market has begun, and many shops have opened their doors on a street in the center of Lingfeng Fort to welcome customers, and some retail merchants have also set up stalls to greet the people entering the city.
……
"Let's go, come this way." As soon as he entered the city, Ji Laohan greeted the villagers of the same village.
He used to be a regular customer of Lingfeng Fort, and he was very familiar with some merchants in Lingfeng Fort, and he knew where the shops gave the most fair prices and sold the highest prices.
So after entering the city, he didn't get busy with his own affairs, but led his fellow villagers to deal with the goods first. Yi Han didn't have any opinion on this. He knew that Ji Laohan was a warm-hearted person.
And the people believed in him, knowing that he would not deceive anyone. They all followed Ji Laohan to the familiar store. In a short time the crowd arrived at the place.
Liang's old store, this is where Ji Laohan brought everyone over. He used to be a regular customer here, and he knew the shopkeeper well.
"Shopkeeper Liang, it's time for business." After entering the store, Ji Laohan shouted inside.
"Yo, Uncle Ji, haven't you been here for a long time?" When a guy saw Ji Laohan, he hurriedly came over to greet him.
"It turned out to be Xiaohou. I'm old now, so I'm too lazy to move. It's you, I haven't seen you stronger in a few years. What about the shopkeeper Liang? Ji Laohan recognized the guy just now as the old man of the store, surnamed Hou. I was in this shop when I was very young.
"The old shopkeeper left last year. Now the shop is in charge of the old shopkeeper's son. Xiao Hou said it a little sadly.
"Gone? Shopkeeper Liang is younger than me. How do you say that you can just go? Ji Laohan was also embarrassed.
"Last year, Mr. Liang went out to deliver goods and suffered difficulties. Alas! Besides, what do you always sell? Xiao Hou diverted the topic and seemed reluctant to mention it.
"Oh, bring the villagers over and deal with some seafood. Look, it's all good stuff. Ji Laohan replied.
"Something good, we want it. This twenty iron coins are a catty, and this fifty iron coins are a catty......" Xiao Hou checked it and gave a quote.
"Xiaohou, your price is not right. Aren't you higher than what you are given outside? I've got good things, but I'm thinking of you. Why is your price similar to that of other stores? Ji Laohan was a little dissatisfied with the price.
He came here because the price was fair. After walking for half a day, I found that the prices here are similar to those elsewhere. How could he be satisfied.
"Uncle Ji, the price you said was set by the old shopkeeper. Now that the new shopkeeper has come up, this is the price, and I can't help it. Xiao Hou was also embarrassed.
Once a son of heaven and a courtier, he had no choice but to eat in Liang's shop. He has also persuaded the new shopkeeper many times, but he is a man who is soft-spoken, and people don't stop at all.
"The new shopkeeper is set? Is the reputation that your old shopkeeper has built up for decades so bad? Ji Laohan was a little excited.
He didn't do it because the price was low. I just think it's not easy for a store to open for a long time. The reputation of Liang's old store is good. But he didn't expect the new shopkeeper to be so bad as soon as he came up.
"Uncle Ji, I can't help this." Xiao Hou is not accompanied.
"What's so noisy. Lao Hou, what's going on? A young man came out of the back room.
"A few old customers came over. However, the price is a bit low. Xiao Hou reported.
"Old patron? What old customers and new customers, we open the door to do business, and treat everyone equally. If you don't think the price is suitable, you go to another house. Our Liang family is a businessman, not a benevolent church, and everyone is accepted. The youth reprimanded.
"It's the shopkeeper. But what about these people......" Xiaohou was even more embarrassed.
"They are willing to sell at this price, not to sell and pull down. And you, I'm in charge of this shop now. I'm not a good old man like my father, and I'll take some messy people to the store and roll them up. "Young people are even more impatient.
"You are the new shopkeeper of Liang's old store? Young people want to be harmonious and make money, and you are burying your father's hard work by doing this. Ji Laohan was a little angry.
"Who are you, old fellow? I'm the shopkeeper, and I can do whatever I want. It's your turn to point fingers. The young man looked disdainful.
"You...... Your dad didn't talk to me like that when he was here. Old Ji trembled angrily.
"Noise, don't rely on the old man and sell the old man here, old marquis, drive them out for me." The young man looked disdainful and walked back into the house as he spoke.
"This, this, this...... Xiaohou, it's not that I speak badly. With this kind of shopkeeper, this store will be finished sooner or later, so you might as well find two other places. Ji Laohan said angrily.
"Alas, I don't want to be here if it weren't for the kindness of the old shopkeeper. Let's take it one step at a time. We can't do this business today, so you can always find a store. I'm sorry. "Xiao Hou apologized again and again.
"It's not your fault. I'm gone, you'd better leave sooner rather than later. Ji Laohan did not forget to dissuade Xiaohou before leaving.
……
"I'm so angry......" On the way back, Ji Laohan was still angry.
"Giber, don't be angry. It's not worth it for such people. This Lingfeng Fort is not small, and there is always a suitable buyer. Yi Han persuaded Ji Laohan.
"Yi Han, I didn't say you. The shopkeeper was so arrogant just now, why didn't you let me teach him a lesson, and you still stopped me. Said a villager from the same village.
"yes, beat him." Jia Hong and Jia Liang coaxed on the side.
"There's something going on with you two." Yi Han glared, and then continued: "Don't talk about you just now, I want to teach him a lesson." But I held back, why, because it must be us who really want to teach him a lesson. Because the shopkeeper was a monk. ”
"Monk? He's a monk? You can't be mistaken, right? "The villagers don't believe it.
"There's no going wrong. And his cultivation is no worse than that of the village chief. Yi Han continued.
Although his cultivation is not there, his vision is still there.
"It's really unreasonable for someone like him to become a monk."
"It's just that it's too unreasonable."
The villagers believed Yi Han's words and cursed one after another.
"Okay, stop scolding. Giber, what should we do now? Yi Han asked again.
Although today's incident is not aimed at him, he is also very angry. It's just that now he still has some trouble dealing with the shopkeeper just now. But he's already made a note that he'll have to get back on the field sooner or later.
"Now Liang's old store has become like this. We have a business with Tongsheng Trading House, where the prices are also available. Ji Laohan replied.
The group walked to Tongsheng Shang again.
