All afternoon, Zhang Tie and Deng Wei were running around the city, and finally before dark, they finished talking with the merchants of the goods and reached an agreement, and the rest was only a transaction between the two parties.

Originally, Zhang Tie wanted to pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with one hand the next morning, but those merchants said that they had something to do the next morning, and they could change the time, so the time of this transaction was overturned the next night.

One merchant is like this, but three or four businessmen are like this, which is intriguing.

However, Zhang Tie is not in a hurry now, anyway, the caravan will only leave early in the morning after tomorrow, and it will have no impact on the transaction tomorrow night, so he agreed to the other party's proposal at the moment and will trade again the next night.

……

On October 16, the year 234 of the Celestial Calendar, the thirteenth Oiran final in Seoul will begin.

There is a special flower competition in South Korea, that is, the Oiran Competition, and the women who participate in this competition are all beautiful women, and all of them are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

The atmosphere of this era is similar to that of Zhang Tie's previous life, not only in the Yan Kingdom, but also in the Goryeo Kingdom, it is also a country where women are in power, the kings are all women, and the number of female soldiers is much more than that of boys.

The so-called women's lack of talent is virtue, which does not exist here, and there is no so-called woman showing her head and hurting customs.

Korean rouge gouache is very famous, which can make women more beautiful and moving on the basis of the original, and as the birthplace of rouge gouache, Korean women often use this kind of thing, making the originally beautiful person more beautiful.

These beautiful women, like literati and writers, always want to compete with others and become the first beauty.

It was for this reason that a prince (the son of the king) held the first Oiran Contest, which has not stopped at all, and has continued to this day.

The Oiran Contest is held every three years, and anyone over the age of 12 or under the age of 20 can sign up for the five-year Oiran Contest.

Twenty-year-old women, in this era of marriage at the age of seventeen or eighteen, twenty years old, are already old women, but because women in this period are the most temperamental and tasteful, therefore, twenty-year-old women can still participate.

As for why people under the age of 12 can't participate in the competition, everyone just has a bit of a B number in their hearts.

The Oiran competition is divided into three rounds, the first round is naturally an audition, in order to sweep down a large number of people who are not good looking, talented, and the second round, which is a selection, eliminating some people who are shallow and have scars on their bodies, and then brush down layer by layer, only to ten left.

Finally, there is the third round and the most important competition, where each participating woman can perform a show, and whoever receives the most flowers will be the champion.

The first two rounds of the competition are closed to the public, and only this last round will be played at Qiushui Square in Seoul, and it will be settled by everyone.

In the Oiran Competition, the first woman will not only win the reputation of the most beautiful woman in Korea, but also get a lot of bonuses, and more importantly, have the opportunity to enter the eyes of the Korean king and become a concubine.

For various reasons, this Oiran competition is becoming more and more popular every year, and it is precisely for this reason that every three years today, Seoul will be very lively, and businessmen from all over the world will also come to rub the heat at this time.

……

Qiushui Square in Seoul, South Korea, although there is still more than half an hour before the game, Qiushui Square is already overcrowded, not to mention tens of thousands of people, which is already remarkable for ancient times.

In the square, countless vendors shuttled through the crowd, showing happy smiles, and the goods in the hands of the sellers were also sold quickly.

Qiushui Square is surrounded by people, and there are only two places in the entire Qiushui Square where there are no crowded people.

One is the venue of the competition~ a platform three feet high from the ground and a closed cabin, needless to say, the platform is the place where the contestants perform their talents, and the cabin is the place where they rest.

The other place is close to the platform, the tables and benches are complete, and there are fruit snacks on the table, so you don't have to guess to know that this is to leave a seat for some distinguished people.

It is very close to the platform, so you can watch the performances on the platform and it is also a place where you can perfectly witness the faces of the contestants.

In addition to the first three rows of internal reservations, other seats can be paid to sit, and a seat costs twenty taels of silver, which can be described as surprisingly expensive.

Four or five hundred Korean soldiers armed with spears surrounded these two points, preventing idle people from entering, and behind the soldiers, there was a fence made of wood, which was more than three feet high, and the top of the wood was sharpened, so that even if someone crossed the soldiers, it would be difficult to jump over for a while.

At this time, Zhang Tie was standing in front of these soldiers, and this seat was the best seat except for the VIP seat.

On Zhang Tie's side, in addition to Hon Hai and Deng Wei, there were nearly two hundred soldiers, in addition to the soldiers on duty, other soldiers also followed Zhang Tie to this Qiushui Square to join in the fun.

The beauties who don't like it, and it's a game they've never heard of, their hearts are itching, and they are all beside Zhang Tie at this time, stretching their necks, staring at the stadium tightly.

For the soldiers to come along, Zhang Tie didn't stop it, anyway, it's all playing, it's not the same anywhere, not to mention this kind of thing, it is estimated that they have never seen it, and it will be difficult to encounter it in the future, in this case, why not meet their wishes?

With so many people acting together, Zhang Tie was still a little worried at first, after all, there were more than two hundred people, and all of them were strong and carrying weapons, which should attract the attention of some people and cause unnecessary trouble.

When he came, Zhang Tie was still thinking about whether to disperse after arriving at the place, and return to the camp after watching the game.

But as soon as he arrived at Qiushui Square, Zhang Tie knew that his worries were superfluous, and he didn't need to worry about it at all, but it would cause some unnecessary trouble, because in Qiushui Square, in the same situation as Zhang Tie and others, there were many people, not to mention more than a dozen teams.

Among them, the smallest team has fifty or sixty people, and there are a little more, and there are nearly two hundred people, but there are so many people to Zhang Tie, at present, there is only their team, but as long as there is a similar team, Zhang Tie does not need to be careful.

And among these people, Zhang Tie also found several teams of businessmen who negotiated deals with them, and it seems that the other party said that there is something, that is, to come to see this Oiran Competition.

When the other party saw Zhang Tie and the others, he smiled knowingly, which made Zhang Tie very embarrassed.
