Chapter 9: Shinong Industry and Commerce
Shang Ruoshui and her husband Zhang Zhaoyi lived in her mother's house for a few days, seeing that the eighth day of the new year was coming, everyone packed up and planned to go together, and the fourth lady Shang Ruolan knew that her mother and sisters were going to Liuzhou to participate in the Zhang family's plum banquet, she lost her temper and cried and wanted to go together, Wei had no choice but to take Shang Ruolan, Shang Ruoshi and Shang Ruomin and a few younger ones together...
Shang Ruodai and Shang Ruoyue shared a carriage, Shang Ruoshi and Shang Ruomin shared a carriage, Shang Ruolan was afraid of the second sister and didn't want to sit with the two sisters, so she squeezed a carriage with her mother.
Shang Mingyang has never been out of the house in the boudoir in the first half of his life as a lady, and he is also very curious, but because he suddenly brought three younger sisters, the carriage was too late to prepare, and it was impossible to travel on horseback in the cold weather, so he could only squeeze a carriage with his three younger brothers, along the way Shang Mingchang and Shang Mingfang sneered at her, Shang Mingyang's novelty was gone, only the left ear went in and the right ear went out, and a cushion was placed on the back, covered with a small blanket to sleep and rest...
"Why is the eldest brother like a girl, and he still carries a small blanket when he goes out"
"It's not our man's demeanor to be so afraid of the cold, although Ming Fang is young, he has never been like the eldest brother."
Shang Mingchang and Shang Mingfang, you say a word, just want to laugh at her for being weak and like a woman, but Shang Mingyang is a woman, not to mention a person who has lived in his twenties, of course he will not worry about a group of children who have not yet reached the crown...
Fanyang and Liuzhou are not far apart, Shangfu leans on the east city gate, their group this time is the official road, from the east passing through Lijia Village, Fushan County can reach Liuzhou outside the country in two days, just because Shang Ruolan is on the road to go to Fushan County to go around, meet everything to stop and see, everyone has no choice but to rest in Fushan County for one more day.
At noon the next day, I could finally see the big city gate and the protective city wall of Liuzhou City in the distance, although I arrived later than expected, but I didn't encounter the mountain bandits and fox demons mentioned in the play... Thinking of this, Shang Mingyang couldn't help but smile, she used to read some books and miscellaneous books in her spare time, although it was a little nonsense, but it was also fun.
At a glance, the official road is getting wider and wider, and you can see an endless stream of business carriages, ox carts rushing to catch up with goods, and pedestrians carrying burdens, Liuzhou is really much richer than Fanyang, Fanyang attaches great importance to farming, Liuzhou is heavy on business, and nine of the ten locals in Liuzhou are doing business, either opening a small shop, or setting up a small stall, or reselling in other places, no matter how big they are...
Because there are not a few people who come to Liuzhou to do business, the carriage process is to be interrogated first, there are which veteran businessmen in front of them respectfully to the soldiers guarding the door to slap the horse and then give the soldiers a purse or two, the soldiers pad the weight of the cushion probably swept a glance and let go, to them is no exception, the second steward who came with the family this time has already gotten off the carriage, showing his identity, this time he is going to Zhang's Mansion to participate in the plum banquet held by Mrs. Zhang, Xiaobing heard that this is the official family members of the Fanyang Zhizhou Mansion came to participate in the banquet of Zhang's Mansion, immediately changed his flattering face and respectfully invited them into the door.
Shang Mingyang sighed in his heart for a while, even though the Holy Lord has vigorously issued many policies to improve the status of merchants, even if Shinong Industry and Commerce is a place like Liuzhou, where merchants are heavy, a doorman still disdains businessmen
