It was already evening when the brothers and sisters of the Yelu family came to Yuhang by car, but they didn't come with Zhao Rong, because Zhao Rong still needed to accompany Zhao Zhen over there, so they let them come by themselves.

"Brother, you said that if there were more things on the city wall that day, in time, my Liao Kingdom would still be able to win?"

After the two of them came here, they both used Chinese names, one is that although Song Liao is a country of brothers, but in fact, the Song people don't like the Liao people, if they use the name of Yelu, they will still encounter some trouble, so they simply use the Chinese name.

In fact, Brother Zhang has no concept of what the Liao and Jin people are, because in terms of genetic map, the Liao people and the Jin people are the northern Han people, and the genetic maps of the northern and southern Han people are highly similar, although the culture is different because of regional differences, but the Han people in the north and south are essentially the same species, so in terms of appearance, wearing the clothes of the Liao people is Bibala Zhao Jingzhong, and wearing the clothes of the Han family is Feng Ying.

In addition, the Liao people themselves are completely sinicized, after all, they are planning to inherit the unification, as a prince and princess, they need to learn Chinese from an early age, they have a mouth and a pure Central Plains official dialect, I don't know where they speak and think they are the old rulers, compared to the Wu Yue language area where Wu Nong is full of soft language, they are like orthodox Central Plains people.

Yelu Jun's Han name Xiao Jun and Yelu Tri's Han name Xiao Rong, both of them are brothers and sisters, both of whom are the children of Yelu Hongji and Xiao Guanyin, and Yelu Jun is the father of Yelu Yanxi, the deceased king of Liao, and posthumously named Liao Shunzong.

Xiao Jun heard his sister's question, sat in the carriage and pondered for a long time, he didn't actually feel that Song Guo was a threat before that night, but since that night, he knew that something had quietly changed.

It is true that the Liao State is very strong, and it can even be said that it is the strongest in the world now, and the Song State is just an ordinary enemy to them, and the Jin people who just rose a few days ago are just a group of uncivilized barbarians, and they are not even taken into account by them.

But the fall of 30,000 men that night made them realize one thing, that is, if the Song Liao went to war again, whether they would be able to defeat the Song people again as they had done before.

The answer is unknown, and this unknown is still a relatively optimistic answer, because Xiao Jun knew in his heart that his strongest cavalry would not be able to rush to within a hundred paces in front of those iron rods, and the strongest archer in the Liao Kingdom could not reach half of the range of others with an arrow with all his strength.

On the frontal battlefield, even if the Liao State had 300,000 and a half million, the final outcome would only be to be swept away like the rebels that night.

This is also the reason why he must come to the magical place of Yuhang to see, because it is said that those terrifying weapons that make people collapse their faith are produced from this place.

As soon as the carriage entered the city gates, they were led by a local guide to the best hotel in the city. Because Yuhang is becoming more and more prosperous, there are actually many related service industries that have begun to be derived here, for example, because of the increasing number of tourists, the profession of guides naturally appears in the city, they are familiar with every corner of the city, where the restaurant is delicious, where the hotel is easy to live, where it is cheap, where it is cheap, where it is ripping customers, these people are all clear.

Strictly speaking, this should be the first generation of professional tour guides, but now they don't have a standard to restrict, and they all rely on consciousness. And the way they solicit tourists is to stand at the gate of the city and wait for tourists to enter the city and wait for verification.

The brothers and sisters chose a guide, and this guide was more conscientious, and the first thing he did was to take them to the largest hotel in the city.

And after arriving here, there is actually nothing special that can make the Yelu brothers and sisters stunned, because they are people who have seen the world, and they have not seen the main street of Yuhang at night.

The only thing that surprised them was that the buildings here are very tall and huge, and there are many high-rise buildings with more than seven floors, and this hotel can even have nine floors. Nine layers, this is already the highest level, generally speaking, only the number of layers that can be used by royals, but it seems that there are not too many restrictions here.

"It's so bright."

After Xiao Rong walked into the lobby, she looked at the light above her head in surprise, the bright light made her eyes dazed, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

At this time, the guide had already opened a room for them, and after knowing that it was a brother and sister, he specially opened a suite for them, one into two sets, which was very suitable.

"If the two of you believe it, I'll go and exchange the money and silver for the two of you, and exchange it into a commercial bill, so that the two of you can buy it."

"Commercial tickets?"

"This commercial ticket is a pass to our territory, you can exchange goods for goods at the merchants of this territory, and there is a mark on the commercial ticket, which is always consistent, and there are many things left."

"In that case, I'll go with you."

After all, they are the prince and the princess, and they will bring a few guards and servants with them when they travel, and the money and silver are carried by the servants when they buy things in the past, but if they see something big, they can only exchange it with gold, after all, it is easy to say that dozens of hundreds of hangs are good, but it is not so convenient to hang thousands of hangs.

And Xiao Jun was also quite curious about this commercial ticket, so he followed the guide to the local chamber of commerce in Yuhang, where there is a day and night window, no matter what time you come, you can easily redeem the commercial ticket, but it is also very convenient.

If it is a one-time redemption of 100,000 yuan, the business will also give some small gifts, such as the designated inn hotel will package the guests for these few days of accommodation money, and the service is quite in place.

And when they came to the main street where the window of the chamber of commerce was located, the two of them felt a flower in front of them, as if they were in a dream, that street was as bright as day, even if it was already dark, it was still like day, the traffic was busy, the roadside shops and vendors extended from the street to the corner, the sound of bargaining has not stopped, the bulk of goods were pulled by ox carts from the center of the street, there were not only merchants dressed in Liao, even merchants from farther away were not unusual, and even caravans from the Western Regions set up tents along the street.

Seeing this scene in front of them, the two brothers and sisters of the Yelu family couldn't help but not speak for a long time, as if they had come back to life in the prosperous Chang'an era they had read in Tang poems, and they were shocked to live in peace and prosperity, which they had not seen anywhere.

As the prince of a country, Xiao Jun sees not only the prosperity on the surface, but also the co-ordination, operation and planning ability behind the prosperity. And by extension, there is the region's unparalleled support and maintenance capabilities.

That's how so many people are willing to come so far here to sell and buy things.

But this is all what the prince thinks, the princess doesn't care about those, Xiao Rong has never seen so many novelties in Liao, because Liao pays more attention to military affairs than Song, although there is a strong army, but the people's livelihood is indeed inferior to others, although Liaoguo is now in Luoyang, and there are also its own east and west markets, but if you haven't seen the long street market here, Xiao Rong probably still thinks that Luoyang's market is the first in the world.

At this time, the guide next to him said: "This is a night market, usually some gadgets and food, if you really want to buy, you have to go to the distribution center during the day, that place has all the goods in the world, and the price is fair." Some of them are even cheaper than in their own area. ”

"Why is it cheap?" Xiao Jun asked curiously: "Isn't the wear and tear on this road counted?" ”

"Then I don't know, I haven't discussed it in the future, and I don't know the mystery."

At this time, Xiao Rong had already run away, she didn't even realize that she had run so far, and now she was following a few little girls to crowd into a stall selling rouge gouache to try out colors.

It's okay for girls to be innocent, but not for men, Xiao Jun's face is locked now, and his heart is tormented, he kicked the rock-solid but smooth road under his feet, as well as the neat small buildings around two or three stories high, and the soldiers patrolling back and forth on the street, his expression gradually became anxious and uneasy.

Because he knows that the more prosperous the Great Song Dynasty is, the higher the probability of war between the two countries in the future, the current Song Emperor may not, but he is already old, and he doesn't know how many more years he can be the emperor, so no one knows what will happen to the new Song Emperor.

"Brother! Brother! ”

At this time, Xiao Rong shouted for her brother in the distance, Xiao Jun walked over quickly, but found that she was already standing in front of a stall selling kitchen knives and scissors at the moment, and there were as many as seventeen or eighteen styles of various types of knives on it, and the expensive ones could be sold for five or six hundred yuan, and the cheap ones also had the styles of nine yuan and a pair of scissors.

Xiao Jun has loved swords since he was a child, he is very familiar with these things, most of the knives in Liao are still pig iron knives, but he found that they are all stainless steel knives, these are obviously just kitchen knives, but whether it is the steel or the forging process, it is not comparable to Liao, he picked up a handful and tried it before he felt that using these good steel to forge knives is simply ...... Tyrannical destruction of heavenly things, and what is even more infuriating is that such a knife in Liao State costs at least ten hangers, but it only costs three or five hundred Wen here.

After that, they also went to see the luxury stores that plagued the Liao State, the most famous items are clothing, glazed ware and porcelain, for example, a good-looking silk dress in the Liao State costs about thirty hangers, thirty hangs...... That's the average farmer's three-year harvest, or before taxes. But the rich people in the city are so eager to see it, and even if they don't wear a silk skirt produced by Yuhang of the Song Kingdom, they will not be able to see people.

There is also the glazed ware, the price is even more lawless, just a few days ago, before the two of their brothers and sisters came here, there were people in the market in Luoyang for the glazed Buddha and the bull coaxed, 80,000 pieces of glass Buddha, in the store here than that is bigger than that, the craftsmanship is better, and even the outside is inlaid with a circle of gold The luxurious Buddha statue is only thirty times.

After crossing a river, the value has increased more than two thousand times? Or is it that bullying Liao people is stupid and has a lot of money?

"This dress is so cheap!"

At this time, Xiao Rong saw the label on it in the silk shop next to the glass shop, and shouted in shock: "As long as three times!" Brother, buy it, buy it, buy it! I want this dress! ”

Seeing his sister's eyes shining, Xiao Jun smiled helplessly, sure enough, this woman had no resistance to a good-looking dress, and when he looked over, he realized why she was so out of shape as a princess.

Because the whole dress was purple.

Purple is the color of the nobility since ancient times, and the price has always been high, although purple plants are everywhere, and purple pigments have long been available, but not because of the color is suitable for dye, so all purple that can be used as a dye is usually three times the price of gold.

But the pure purple skirt in front of him is here, and its price is already extremely cheap compared to its value.

"Why don't you buy it back as a gift for your mother, mother loves beauty ......"

"Okay......" Xiao Rong was a little disappointed, and her hand reluctantly slashed down from the beautiful skirt: "Boss, we want this skirt." ”

The boss was sitting behind the counter with a bowl of rice at the moment, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he laughed: "The two guest officers are from another country, right?" ”

"How do you know?" Xiao Rong asked curiously.

The boss didn't speak, just pointed to the purple dress with chopsticks, and then shouted at the back: "Chunxiu, Chunxiu, go take out a batch of skirts on the fourteenth and try them for the guests." ”

After a while, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl walked out with a suitcase, came to the Yelu brothers and sisters, put it down, and then opened the box.

"The guest officer looks slowly, they are all good materials and good work." The girl said generously: "But in my opinion, this sister is suitable for wearing that goose-yellow rouge suit, but this purple one is suitable for older people." ”

"I'll see, I'll see." Xiao Rong was classified as a princess and couldn't resist the impact of fashion trends on her, so she happily followed the girl and ran to the other end.

It was Xiao Jun, he felt that this box of silk would definitely have more face to give away, so he said very heartily: "My mother and aunt love this purple, and I have all the goods in the store." ”

The boss blinked: "Childe, don't you want to make fun of me, I have more than a thousand of the fourteenth goods, and Childe wants them all?" ”

"Huh?" Xiao Jun was stunned for a moment: "So many? ”

"Not much, not much, I'm afraid I haven't dyed much after the popularity."

And just when they were shopping around like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, Brother Zhang flashed with a bright light that could blind the eyes of a dog, and the two steel plates were welded together seamlessly.

The cheers in the whole workshop almost lifted the roof, not for anything else, because the first electric welding machine in human history was finally born, and with electric welding, a more complex industrial machine is about to be born!

Brother Zhang's hands were all gray and black, he stood there with his waist crossed, looked at the people around him, and said with a smile: "Starting tomorrow, your wages will all be doubled." ”
