Chapter 121: The Merchant Gathers for a Banquet
The inventory in Tengcheng is very strict, and it is generally difficult to enter without paperwork. The surrounding residents naturally don't need any paperwork to enter alone, and they only need to show the entry and exit permits issued by Tengcheng.
Fortunately, when they left, they had all the paperwork, but they had been on the ground for a long time.
Tang Sha took out the hunter paperwork that the three of them had done from his backpack in disgust, and this can also be used.
The eldest brother guarding the city gate covered his nose with one hand, twisted his orchid finger with the other, and picked up the document with his thumb and index finger, which had a pale cyan mold on it.
"You can't have picked it up somewhere, I heard that someone died in the mountains last month." The guards looked at the three suspiciously.
"Big brother, wouldn't you be nice to the name? This must be ours, why do you think we have become the way we are, it's not because we lost Sinan in the mountains and got lost. Tang Sha was speechless.
"What are you carrying, open it and see." The guards returned the paperwork to Tang Sha and pointed to the backpack behind them.
"Are you sure you want to see it?" The corners of Tang Sha's mouth twitched, he didn't want to look at these miscellaneous things in it now, mainly because the backpack was too dirty, and the things in it smelled.
"Naturally, less nonsense, open." The guard's tone was impatient.
"Open it." Tang Sha gestured to Yuan Fang and Shen Xin.
Both of them also took off their backpacks.
The guard first took Tang Sha's bag, which had been filled with all kinds of strange things on the mountain, and the taste was extremely sour.
The guard crouched down, put the bag on the ground, and poured out all the dingxi inside.
I only heard the sound of frames, and the pots and pans that fell to the ground were written with dirt and slag.
There are also a few pieces of paper and eyebrow pencils of Tang Sha in the middle.
The guard picked up the papers strangely, and I didn't know what was written on them, like words but not like them, and two of them were drawings, just lines.
This is the contour map drawn by Tang Shadang who has nothing to do except for leisure and teaches Yuan Fang.
In addition, there are two documents and two household registration certificates.
"Ning Xiaoming, Yuan Fang?"
"Exactly." Tang Sha replied.
This name corresponds to the name on Orion's paperwork. But I was able to carry the household registration documents with me. This kind of thing is usually handled in the government, and the government will keep a copy of it itself.
"You're from the Imperial City?" The guard looked at Yuan Fang's household registration and asked strangely.
"Yes. Sir, can you let us in? There's a bunch of people in the back. Tang Shapi smiled and said with a smile.
"Go in, go in, go in." People who can open this kind of document are also serious people.
After packing up their things, the three of them entered the city.
I saw merchants coming and going in the city, and the cars were like flowing water and horses. The streets are lined with shops and goods neatly arranged. Selling constantly.
In addition to the shops on both sides of the street, the most are teahouses and restaurants.
The pace of Tengcheng is obviously much faster than that of other cities, and the people who sit in the teahouse and restaurant here are basically here to talk about business, and they are all glamorous.
Tang Sha and the three of them walked in the crowd, which was extremely conspicuous.
In order to get some news about Tengcheng, Tang Sha first decided to find out if Tengcheng had any power to govern the government.
Sure enough, all over the country, Tang Sha even suspected that their power existed in Di Yuedu.
At this time, the three of them stood at the mouth of an alley, and there was a white cross mark at the entrance of the alley, which was a sign of the power of the letter building.
"Little brother, can you get a map of Tengcheng? There is also the identity of those business tycoons. As soon as Tang Sha came, he spoke directly.
Yuan Fang knew that Tang Sha was very capable, but this was also the first time Tang Sha took him to meet these people, and he had always wanted to know more about Gongzi, but in the end, he found that what he seemed to know was also the tip of the iceberg.
Tang Sha just wanted to say, you even know about Antarctica, so you don't need to know this iceberg.
To Tang Sha's surprise, the little beggar glanced at Tang Sha with great disdain.
"Who are you, you can't afford it like this, go and go."
Tang Sha: ......
"I'm Tang Sha."
Tang Sha directly reported his name.
The little beggar was stunned, Tang Sha? The legendary nobleman?
"Tang Sha? You're a liar! If Tang Sha looks like this, I'll eat! The little beggar was even more disdainful.
Tang Sha: ......
"Didn't the person above you paint a portrait of you? Wouldn't you know if you took it out and compared it? She had spent a lot of money at the beginning, and she was sure that the dog would not let her down.
Sure enough, the man casually pulled out a piece of drawing paper from his arms and compared it to Tang Sha's eyes and nose.
The expression on his face gradually became a little stiff.
"Hahaha, Tang Gongzi! How do you pretend to be like this, you are clumsy in the lower eye, clumsy in the lower eye. I'll help you do what you want right away, and I'll pick it up when you're here. After saying that, a puff of smoke disappeared.
Tang Sha said to himself: "Nima Laozi is so scary? ”
"Let's go find an inn and stay there." Tang Sha took the two of them to find a place to live in the city, and naturally it was not too expensive to live.
But now Tang Sha only needs a bed, and he thinks it's the best.
In the end, I only found a very ordinary inn, and the three of them stayed.
At the beginning, in fact, the owner of the inn was reluctant to accept them, because it would affect the appearance of the store too much.
The three of them had to buy new clothes, and then the boss let them stay after they understood the situation (nonsense, of course).
The first thing, of course, was to take a comfortable bath and change into new clothes.
"Forced" Shen Xin to dry her hair before letting her tinker with her own things.
Tang Sha went back to his room and slept peacefully.
How long can you endure a few dozen taels of silver? Whatever, let's get some sleep first.
This sleep is dark, but I only wake up at night.
Tang Sha glanced at the hour in a panic, it was already the unitary time.
"Damn! It's so late. Tang Sha hurriedly dressed and went out. I didn't have time to say hello to Yuan Fang and them.
Fortunately, the beggar was waiting for her and did not miss it.
"I'm sorry, I'm late." Tang Sha said apologetically.
"No hindrance, no hindrance." The little beggar's emotional intelligence is also relatively high.
Tang Sha took the things and bought three strings of sugar gourds when he went back.
When Shen Xin saw the sugar gourd, he was so happy that he felt like he hadn't eaten it for a long time. Actually, I ate it not long ago.
Tang Sha ordered a table of vegetarian dishes that night.
Sorry, she really can't afford to order meat. Shen Xin's meal is huge. Tang Sha only persuaded Shen Xin to eat and eat less.
Yuan Fang and Tang Sha only ate a little, and the rest was left for Shen Xin to eat.
After eating, I went back to my room.
Tang Sha couldn't sleep, so he had to take out the things he took from the little beggar today and study them.
Tengcheng is not far from the place where Ye Xuanyuan and them are guarding, as long as something happens, they will definitely be able to rush here as soon as possible.
Naturally, there are troops stationed in the city, but in order not to cause panic, there are not many of them.
Tang Sha gestured on the map with his finger and familiarized himself with the route.
After reading the map, start looking at the so-called business tycoons.
Now these people in the city are all on it, and Tang Sha saw a name that he was very interested in - Cheng Lixue
How did this man come to Tengcheng? Isn't it supposed to be in the Gangnam area?
But people like others have nothing to do with themselves. Tang Sha continued to read.
Yuan Fang can't delay any longer, in terms of martial arts, maybe Shen Xin can still help.
But in literature, there is no way to do it yourself.
Teacher, teacher.
In the past few days, I have to go out and have a look, and by the way, I will go to these rich businessmen to see if they are interested in investing in the things they have in mind.
As long as there are enough benefits, they will not refuse.
Tang Sha looked at the list very late, analyzing what these people like and what they don't like, and how to persuade them more easily.
The first thing, of course, is to wrap yourself up.
I don't know when, the candle burned out, and I turned off the light.
Tang Sha couldn't, so he had to go to bed.
I got up early in the morning on the second day, and my physical condition was still good.
Do you want to bring Yuan Fang? Bring it, have confidence. No matter how rich a businessman comes and goes, it is all one person.
Tang Sha knocked on Yuan Fang's door, and the door opened, revealing Yuan Fang's handsome face.
"Fang'er, do you want to come with me?" Tang Sha leaned against the door and said temptingly.
"Childe wait a minute."
Tang Sha nodded and retreated.
"I'll be waiting for you downstairs."
Tang Shada went downstairs and said to the inn's junior two: "Come with me later, the girl wakes up and tells her that we will go out first and come back in the evening." Her expenses should be recorded in my account. ”
"Okay." Xiao Er responded politely.
A moment later, Yuan Fang also came down.
Tang Sha didn't know where to get a folding fan, holding a folding fan, and wearing it clearly and elegantly.
What a handsome boy.
Yuan Fang's temperament is a little less cowardly, more courageous, his waist is straight, and he looks more temperamental than Tang Sha.
The two of them walked out of the inn and walked on the street, Yuan Fang asked, "Childe, where are you going?" ”
"I'll show you how the skin of steel is made."
Yuan Fang secretly guessed Childe's purpose, but couldn't guess it.
He believes that in this world, no one can guess what Childe is thinking.
"Later, you can just say it's my distant cousin."
"Hmm."
Tang Sha studied all night last night, but he chose a suitable candidate.
The so-called no treacherous business, Tang Sha is the first choice, and he is naturally not so treacherous. Too shrewd to get along with each other, suspicious of each other. There is a problem with people in this world, that is, they think they are smart people.
There are people outside the people, and there are mountains outside the mountains, and Tang Sha prides himself on being no match for those who have been in business for decades.
The reader is okay and easy to talk.
So Tang Sha chose a literati merchant named Jia Shang, who was gentle and elegant, and was a scholarly family, but later his family fell into the middle.
There was no way, he embarked on the road of business on his own and supported a family.
The status of a merchant is not high in the Chen State, and for literati, many people look down on such people.
But this Jia Shang is very open. He often does good deeds and charities, and has an excellent reputation in the Tengcheng area.
Such a person is reasonable.
Xiucai met a soldier, and it was unreasonable to say, Tang Sha should be reasonable first.
You can't put a knife on someone's neck.
To be able to gain a foothold in Tengcheng is not a soft persimmon.
According to the map, among the intricate streets of Tangsha, I found Jiafu.
The guard guarding the door saw Tang Sha and the others and asked, "I don't know what happened to the two of you?" ”
Sure enough, it was the residence of the scholar, and even the people below spoke with a bit of civility.
"Excuse me, is Master Jia in the house?" Tang Sha asked politely.
"It's really unfortunate that the master just went out." Fu Wei said apologetically.
"Do you know when he's back?" Tang Sha walked on the road for a while, this time is neither early nor late, just suitable for a visit.
But I missed it.
"I don't know." The guard shook his head.
"Is that convenient for telling him where he went?"
"I went to Tengcheng's merchant banquet." Fu Wei didn't think there was anything to say about this, and then he felt that this Tang Sha seemed to be a wealthy family, why didn't he know about such an annual event.
"Okay, thank you, little brother." Tang Sha bowed.
Tang Sha and Yuan Fang left Jiafu, walked down the street, and went to have breakfast by the way.
"Childe, do you still have to wait for him?" Yuan Fang understood who Tang Sa brought him to find, and secretly guessed the purpose.
They don't have enough money, and Tang Sha came to find a business tycoon at this time, naturally seeking wealth.
Why does he know that Najia's boss is a business tycoon? At that time, it was because of the decoration at the door.
Two unicorn stone statues, the unicorn can be said to be a fierce beast in Chen State, but there is a role that businessmen particularly like, that is, to attract wealth.
Generally, there will be stone lions in front of people's doors.
"Naturally, we don't wait, after eating, let's go and see what kind of banquet it is." Tang Sha sandwiched a clip of vegetables in the Yuanfang bowl.
Yuan Fang buried her head and ate seriously.
Tang Sha has always been very fast in eating, and so has Yuan Fang.
In a short time, the two of them finished eating. After paying the bill, Tang Sha took Yuan Fang to the blacksmith shop to fight an iron sword, the workmanship was rough, but it was not cheap. Because this sword, it may be a hundred pounds, and the heavy sword is in hand. If you can't cut it to death, you can always smash it to death!
Anyway, for Yuan Fang, this sword is also like a toy.
Yuan Fang, who took the sword, became sharper, he was very suitable for this thing.
Yuan Fang touched this sword over and over again, this is an iron sword, and it is also the first sword in his life, the kind of sword that can go to the battlefield, and the son gave it to him.
"Do you like it?" Tang Sha asked knowingly, Fang'er, it's too easy to be satisfied.
"I like it."
"We'll have the money in the near future, so I'll buy you a good sword." Tang Sha promised.
Yuan Fang nodded.
Why do you want to give Yuan Fang a sword?
Isn't this a rising momentum, giving Yuan Fang a sense of security, a sword in hand, I have it in the world.
This kind of grand event is very famous in Tengcheng, and anyone who asks a passerby knows where the location is.
"Taishoufu."
Tengcheng Taishou, called Yan Shan, has been different from officials and businessmen since ancient times, but this Taishou happens to do extraordinary things, there are large industries in Tengcheng, and large taxes are paid for the imperial court every year, and the imperial court naturally turns a blind eye.
It's too guarded, it's heavily guarded, and it's making trouble, who dares?
There has always been an invitation letter to enter this kind of place, and Tang Sha Yuanfang, who did not have an invitation letter, could only stand outside the door and watch.
"Fang'er, where do you think we can get one?" Tang Sha assumed.
"It's not a big chance, and now most people are in." Yuan Fang denied it.
"What about the wall?" Anyway, they are also professionals who circumvent the wall.
"It can be, but if it is discovered, it is a dead end." Yuan Fang shattered illusions again.
Tang Sha was at a loss, looking around, and suddenly, his eyes were fixed on a place on the street.
Yuan Fang also looked over, his eyesight was excellent, and he saw an extremely gorgeous convoy coming slowly, and the carriage headed by him had a word engraved on the edge.
