Chapter 169: Border Bazaar, Ten Thousand Worlds Merchant House
The matter of Linzi is just the beginning.
And although Lin Lingsu's disappearance was dispensable for the hundred schools of thought, it made Gao Yu firm in his desire to return. However, in order to show that he was not useless, he brought with him many specialties of the fairy realm when he returned, such as the spiritual rice and spiritual fruit produced here, as well as some books about the hundred schools of thought.
After entering the fairyland for a month and a half, Gao Yu finally left the fairyland, and he didn't want to enter it again in this life.
Of course, at this time, the officials who entered the fairy realm in the Great Song Dynasty were far more than Gao Yu. So for Gao Yu's departure, although there were some waves, it was only an insignificant wave.
And Gao Yu's return this time was still under the pretext of personally explaining the information of Little Wonderland to the officials, which did not arouse the suspicion of others. In their opinion, Gao Yu just didn't want people to take his credit, and wanted to go back to ask the official family for credit.
When Gao Yu returned, there were not many people who took him away, at least most of them chose to stay.
Especially those martial artists, who have completely fallen in love with the little fairyland. The aura here is so rich that they can't wait to soak in it around the clock.
Three months have passed in the blink of an eye.
It is no secret that the immortal gate is wide open, whether it is in the fairy land or in the outside world. And as time goes by, the door of Little Wonderland takes longer and longer to open, and it no longer needs a key to start.
In the second month, people stumble upon the possibility of leaving Wonderland without a key. And in the third month, people are even more surprised to find that anyone can enter and exit the fairyland freely, and the key seems to have no meaning.
In the fourth month of the first time people enter the Little Wonderland, there is not much change for the people in the Wonderland. Perhaps the biggest wave is the matter between the Mo family and the little sage village.
But to the outside world, it's completely different.
From the opening of the fairy gate to the present, in just four months, too many changes have taken place in the world.
Just like the once hostile Great Song and Jin Kingdoms, the armies of both sides began to deploy along the coast and vigorously develop their navies, as if to guard against some invisible force.
Of course, it was later learned that they were there to guard against the country in Wonderland.
However, anyone who has returned from the fairyland will not think that the Jin and Song countries are making a big fuss, or that they are too unfounded. Because only by entering the small fairyland can you understand how big the gap between the fairyland and the outside world is. Even if they are ordinary people in the fairyland, they are far stronger than those in the outside world.
This is not to say that they are gifted, but because of the environment of Little Wonderland, which has caused this congenital imbalance.
Someone once tested the army of the Chu State, and any ordinary soldier had a strength that was almost comparable to that of the early days of the day after tomorrow.
When it comes to individual strength, this strength is certainly not high, and even in the rivers and lakes, it is just ordinary, but when the entire army is composed of more than acquired existence, no one dares to imagine how terrible the combat effectiveness of the army will be.
Maybe they only need 10,000 people, which is enough to completely defeat the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom, right?
This kind of worry is not only reflected in the court, but also in the martial arts. In other words, the most worried are the people in the martial arts. The unique cultivation environment in Xiaoxian, as well as the incredible hundred schools of thought, all make people in the martial arts feel their insignificance.
When something they are proud of is broken, there's nothing more worrying than this.
Therefore, when the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom were still guarding against the possible killing of the creatures in the fairyland, they had already begun to study frantically. Learn the wonderful martial arts knowledge in the fairyland, and learn the relevant knowledge about spiritual materials and spirit beasts.
It can be said that when the Little Wonderland spread in Kyushu, the most positive ones were the major sects and families. After understanding the disparity in force value, they wisely chose to cooperate with the gangs within them for a win-win situation, and successfully established the first trading bazaar between Wonderland and the outside world.
Border Bazaar.
The Border Bazaar is located in the valley of Crescent Island and Little Wonderland, and although it has only been established for more than a month, it has already gained a good reputation in Wonderland. Nowadays, every time the border market opens, a large number of Wonderland residents come to visit.
However, because the Little Wonderland has not been open for a long time, the residents of the Wonderland who dare to come to the border market now are either people with a lot of skills, or businessmen who are bold enough to pan for gold. Of course, there will certainly be no shortage of spies from various countries who want to find out about the outside world.
And no matter what the purpose of coming, a new way of communication, a new kind of rules, has faintly appeared.
And the emergence of border markets has also derived many chains of interests.
For example, the Beast Hunter, a seasoned hunter who goes to hunt fierce beasts in the deep mountains and forests, and brings back valuable parts of the carcass. And if you can catch a cub, it is enough to make even an ordinary hunter live a rich life.
Of course, not all alien cubs are expensive, and most of them are not actually very valuable. However, even the cheapest alien beast cubs cost as much as tens or hundreds of taels of silver. As for the powerful beast cubs, they can be fried to thousands, or even tens of thousands of taels of silver.
And in addition to hunters, there are also herbalists, explorers, and other industries.
With the appearance of the strange beasts of the Little Wonderland, as well as the spirit grass, and even the food containing the spiritual energy in the world, the sensation brought is unimaginable.
Before that, who would have dared to imagine that there were rabbits in the world that could breathe fire, and wild wolves that were several times taller than horses. Who would have thought that just an ordinary bowl of rice could increase the speed of cultivation and even make people sick!
Everything in the fairyland, even if it was just the weeds on the side of the road, also made the Kyushu magnates excited.
And this fanatical pursuit has also promoted the development of border markets.
When the border bazaar first opened more than a month ago, there were only a dozen or so modest shops and less than thirty or forty kinds of goods. Today, however, there are hundreds of shops in the border market, selling everything from daily necessities to all kinds of bizarre luxury goods.
Of course, the things that are most popular among the merchants of Wonderland are the things that inherit culture such as the four treasures of the study, as well as various daily necessities.
For example, snow salt from outside, as well as newspapers!
For people in Wonderland, newspapers can be said to be one of the most beneficial and convenient ways to learn about the outside world.
Perhaps the only trouble is that they need to relearn the outside text, but that's nothing for people who are hungry for knowledge, or who have ulterior motives.
It is precisely because of the influx of a large number of items from the outside world, and the pursuit of the powerful merchants of the fairyland, that it has also created a noisy scene every time the border market is opened.
The sky was dark and the stars were dotting.
However, because of the particularity of the Gate of Wonderland, the noise of this place cannot be stopped at night.
The originally desolate valley between them has been filled with various shops, arranged in an orderly manner on both sides of the valley, like a secluded town.
The valley is brightly lit, illuminating the vast valley to the fullest.
Although there is still half an hour before the gate of Wonderland opens, the market at night is already quite lively. In particular, the teahouses in the market are overcrowded.
Of course, the people waiting here can't all be merchants and servants of the powerful in the fairyland, and there are a large number of people in the rivers and lakes who have entered the fairyland from the outside world. At this time, it is almost time for the door of the fairyland to be opened, some people need to leave the fairyland, and some people are waiting for friends and people from the outside world.
In the midst of the bustling crowd, there was a group of people who stood out.
The leader wears a black cloak and a wide black cloak. He was followed by a burly bald man, and a stocky white-haired old man. They are none other than the Mo family giants, as well as the class masters, and the three of them with a big hammer.
Since the incident of the Little Sage Village, all the sons and families in the world have been looking for traces of the Mo family.
For the safety of the Immortal Technique, they have been hiding in the Organ City for many days. If it weren't for the uproar over the border bazaar, the six-fingered black man wouldn't have ventured to investigate.
Master Ban looked at the brightly lit and noisy bazaar, and said in surprise: "This is the border bazaar, but it is quite lively." ”
"But it's not, even if it's the Fang City of the royal capital, it's just like this, right?" Sledgehammer scratched his head, surprised at the prosperity of the place.
After all, this place belongs to the three areas of Qi and Chu, and there are few people in a radius of dozens of miles on weekdays. It's surprising that a bustling town suddenly appears in such a place.
"Haha, a few guest officers think it's the first time they come to the border market, and they don't know the situation here." While a few people were talking, a short old man stepped forward. His face was dark and wrinkled, his shirt was patched, and it was clear that his family was not very well-off.
Several people looked sideways at the old man, and the vigilance in their eyes had not diminished.
"Little Lao'er Haizi is just an ordinary fisherman, and he doesn't have the heart to venture out when he is old. On weekdays, the little old man nests in this border market, explaining the various conditions of the market to the guests who come to the border market for the first time, as well as the goods sold by each trading house, and which goods are the most popular. Haizi smiled all over his face, and said indifferently without being humble or arrogant.
When several people heard this, they looked at each other in surprise.
The six-fingered black man casually threw out a piece of broken silver, which was the currency he had exchanged with someone before he came, and said, "Okay, then there will be Lao Lao." ”
Haizi took the broken silver, the indifference on his face disappeared instantly, and he smiled respectfully: "If you want to talk about the luxuriance of this border bazaar, then you have to say two places." One is the Sun and Moon Commercial Bank, and the other is the Wanjie Commercial Bank. They are the leaders of the border bazaars and the largest chamber of commerce in the area. But if you really want to talk about prestige and financial resources, it is still the most powerful Ten Thousand Worlds Commercial Bank. ”
"Wanjie Commercial Bank, you little old man won't accept other people's money, right?" Master Ban couldn't help but smile when he saw the little old man touting it like this.
"Heh, the existence of the Ten Thousand Worlds Commercial Bank still needs to be supported by the little old man."
"Oh, then I'm interested, and you can tell me what's so great about this Ten Thousand Worlds Merchant House."
"If you want to talk about the power of the Ten Thousand Worlds Commercial Bank, there are really many of them, but the most powerful one is Zhang Gongzi of the Ten Thousand Worlds Commercial Bank. Zhang Gongzi's words are better than anything here. Haizi said, and said mysteriously: "Even the emperor's holy decree is here, and it depends on Zhang Gongzi's mood here." ”
Several people were stunned.
Where is this Zhang Gongzi sacred, so good?
