The weather is getting warmer.

Ancient entertainment was too small, although Mu Qingwan had a quiet personality, but the feeling of doing nothing every day was a little boring. So, Mu Qingwan also learned from the little doll, pestering her cheap father to go shopping a few times.

Mu Qingwan found that although Pingcheng was a side stopper, except that the climate was a little dry, it was not as desolate and backward as he imagined.

Later, after asking Mu Erye, I learned that today is mainly divided into three countries: Jing, Xuan, and Zhou, and the three kingdoms stand on their feet. In addition to this, there are small marginal nations, nomads, and exotic peoples.

Second Master Mu said eloquently to Mu Qingwan, and he was not perfunctory because Mu Qingwan was a child.

Small countries are generally located in remote locations, located in the hinterland of the desert or the Gobi Desert, and the larger ones may be only the size of an ordinary city in the Central Plains. They often live in the form of tribes, claiming to be a country, and their national strength is extremely weak, and they are often dependent on large countries for survival.

The nomadic people are similar to the ancient Xiongnu, called the Hu people, most of the Hu people are rugged-looking, tall, athletic, good at riding and shooting, and live on animal husbandry. The location of the Hu people is vast, and many tribes are divided and ruled, headed by the tribal chief, and the weak tribes are often attached to the surrounding large countries, otherwise they are easily plundered by other tribes. However, there are also some tribes that are not at peace, and often clash with border towns, and even small-scale wars, so some border towns are not peaceful.

Exotics, equivalent to today's foreigners, mostly come and go through trade, but due to the restrictions of ancient transportation, exotics are a minority.

Pingcheng is adjacent to the Kana tribe of the Hu people, Pingcheng is a large foreign trade market, and the Han people buy horses and leather products from the Hu people, and the Hu people exchange them for grain and silk. Foreigners trade in spices, condiments, glaze and other rare things in Pingcheng.

There were many merchants coming and going in Heijo, and it was not uncommon for the streets to be filled with tall bearded people, yellow-haired, blue-eyed exotics, and it gradually developed into an ethnic fusion, so there were also many mixed-race descendants. However, due to the limitations of traditional thinking, the real people of the world disdain to intermarry with foreigners. Therefore, if there is an unfortunate mixed-race offspring among the family members, it is often regarded as a smear for the family, and often pregnant women have abortions, or drown directly when they are still small babies, or throw them directly into the Zhuangzi to fend for themselves, which is also very cruel.

The development of trade has made it possible for many wealthy people in Pingcheng. For example, Mu Qingwan's father, there are always so many channels that are convenient.

Mu Qingwan's mother is a good manager, and when she got married, she brought a rich dowry, and when she was really in charge of the family, she didn't sit on the mountain. Taking advantage of the convenience of his father-in-law, he also started a business in Biansai, and opened a lot of shops by using the rarities of Biansai, and even opened a shop quietly to the capital, and now there are several shops in the capital, specializing in selling some rare goods, such as glass, spices, facial grease and so on.

There are many rich and noble families in the capital, and even if the price is expensive, it is often in short supply. Mu Qingwan has a lot of boxes of facial fat that cost dozens of taels of silver in her own store, and Mu Qingwan has many boxes, I don't know if it's because the ancient raw materials are more pure, anyway, the effect of using them is no less than that of modern high-end skin care products. Although the climate in Pingcheng is dry, Mu Qingwan's face is red now, and people can't help but pinch it.

Shinong industry and commerce, commerce is at the bottom of the industry, and many families disdain to do copper-smelling business to stain their own Qingming. But the second master Mu and Mrs. Mu are enlightened people, but they started a business generously, and the second uncle of the maternal grandfather's family, without the pressure of inheriting his father's business, was also pulled in to do a partnership business together. However, although the business is doing very well now, it is also low-key, and it is also afraid of hindering Mu Erye's career, and secondly, there are always some superb relatives who guard the empty shell of the family that cannot make ends meet, and it is always inevitable to be red-eyed.

As the days passed, Mu Qingwan felt that she was slowly assimilated and gradually integrated into this dynasty.
