I'm afraid that the pig farm will not be able to do it for a while, and the piglets are too difficult to buy.

Fortunately, many villagers have raised sows at home, and the sows have not been killed before they have time to escape, so that they can recover after a while, and they are not afraid of running out of pork to eat.

However, Xu Jingluo is not ready to give up the pig farm, and plans to go to Changning City in a few days.

When the shop and the house were auctioned off by the yamen, Xu Jingluo bought all Zhu Lingxiang's shop and the house where she lived.

When Runtian and Yi Bao entered the city to study, they simply took Zhang's Cuiying and Cao Mama into the city, and the whole family lived in the city.

The mansion in the south of the city was given to the shopkeepers and men, and it was not very convenient for men and women to be saved.

The houses and fields in the fishing village can be taken care of by the people in the village, and when the city is not busy, they can go back to the beach to live for a few days.

When the dried seafood shops, farm tool shops, and medicine halls in the city reopened, Xu Jingluo thoroughly took stock of the accounts.

After buying a total of four shops and a house in Zhu Lingxiang, plus the expenses for buying Western medicine in the space mall, she spent almost half of the silver she earned before, and only six hundred taels of silver were left, which she kept to go to Changning City to purchase.

It took 10 days for all the shops in Ssangyong City to open one after another, and the whole city gradually returned to its previous bustling city.

On this day, Xu Jingluo took Xu Jingan, Ye Jiaming, Feng Zeqing and others, packed up and prepared to go to Changning City to buy goods.

It's the first time I've been here for two years, and everyone is very happy.

In order to make it easier to go out, Xu Jingluo wore a hat and dressed as a man, and Xu Jing'an, Ye Jiaming, Feng Zeqing and other three people went out of Shuanglong City and went to the dock along the avenue outside the North City Gate.

"This time, I went to Changning City not only to buy goods, but also to see how to expand the business there." Xu Jingluo said while playing a fan, "Not to mention the others, restaurants, seafood shops and medicine halls, these three businesses will definitely expand inland." ”

The three of them nodded hurriedly, "Then after entering the city, ask around to see if you can get a good shop." ”

As he spoke, he arrived at the dock in a short time.

The docks are now bustling with large ships.

At this time, a large ship happened to dock, and many people carrying burdens and dragging their families and mouths poured down from the boat.

They were full of novelty, but they looked into the city that loomed in the distance, and their eyes were full of expectation.

Shuanglong County has promulgated a new law, but all outsiders who are willing to enter the city to open up the land can settle here, and the land and houses built are owned by each other.

These people must have also heard the news and ran to Shuanglong City to immigrate.

After all, there is a war going on outside, and many people are also displaced, and it is a good thing to come here to reliably open up the land and expand the land.

Shuanglong County is originally vast and sparsely populated, and at least one-third of the jungle has not been cultivated, not to mention it can accommodate 100,000 people.

The most important thing as a city is popularity, with the influx of so many inland people, Shuanglong County will undergo earth-shaking changes again in the near future, and truly become a prosperous seaside city.

The big boat that left Shuanglong City and headed for Changning City was also shouting to attract passengers, and Xu Jingluo and the four of them boarded the boat with their burdens.

Boats come and go on the river, and every boat that goes down the river is full of people, and there are really many people who want to settle in Shuanglong County.

The scenery is also good, the two sides of the strait are full of red mountains, like a group of flames, beautiful and bewitching.

After three days on the river, the big boat arrived at the wharf of Changning City, and Xu Jingluo and the three got off the boat and hired two or two carriages to go to Changning City.

When I came to the outside of Changning City, I found that this city gate was only allowed to go out and not to enter.

"Take a detour, go around to the east gate and enter the city." The city gate official scolded coldly with a straight face.

"Isn't this also a city gate? Why should we take a detour? Ye Jiaming took a baseball bat and opened the curtain of the carriage.

Hearing this, the meaty-faced city gate official looked at him mockingly and walked over.

"It's from Shuanglong County, right? Only those who are exposed to the wind and sun by the sea will be so dark. “

"yes, is there a problem?"

"Since it's from Shuanglong County, it's a pariah in the Southern Zhou Dynasty, and you dare to argue with Lao Tzu? If you are told to take a detour, don't talk nonsense with Lao Tzu. ”

The gate official said and kicked the horse's stomach in an arrogant tone.

"Hurry up and get out of the carriage, or you won't be killed if the city gate is blocked."

As soon as he finished saying this, there was a sudden chaos on the side of the city gate, and there was a lot of crying and swearing. The city gate official hurriedly drew his sword and stepped forward to maintain order.

Xu Jingluo lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, only to see that on the side of the city gate, the people who wanted to leave the city were in the dark, but they were blocked by hundreds of city gate guards.

The meaty-faced gatekeeper shouted as he ran over.

"If you don't pay the money and want to break out, drag me aside and hit fifty boards, and see who dares to break the rules!"

Xu Jingluo and the others wondered when they heard it, do they have to charge for going out of the city? Isn't this an act of banditry?

Xu Jingluo hurriedly instructed the coachman to drive the carriage aside, and got out of the car to stop several families who had just left the city after paying the money.

"What's going on with Uncle? Why do you want to pay money when you go out of the city? ”

"Alas!" The uncle sighed heavily, "The war in the north, we are fleeing from the war, and we want to settle in Shuanglong County, but we never thought that one person who left the gate of Changning City would have to pay two taels of silver for tolls, otherwise we would not be allowed to leave the city." ”

If you want to go to Shuanglong County, Changning City is the only entrance, and these officers and soldiers have also eaten the gall of bears and leopards, and they dare to do such a thing.

At this time, there were screams and boards in the city gate, and the people who could not pay the money and tried to leave the city were being tortured by these filthy officials.

The uncle shook his head sadly

"I thought that with a change of emperor, our common people could live a better life, but I never thought that the officials of the Western Wei Dynasty were also insatiable, and in order to make up enough tolls, we were forced to sell our sons and daughters......"

After speaking, the uncle wiped a handful of old tears and led his family to the dock.

Xu Jingluo's face turned black when he heard this.

"What is the difference between these corrupt officials and robbers? They must not be allowed to smear Chang Gong's face, Jing An, you come with me, Brother Jiaming Zeqing, you are waiting here. ”

"This, how can a fight be without us?"

"If you don't fight, I have another way to deal with them." Xu Jingluo said and walked towards the city gate with Xu Jing'an.

On the way, Xu Jingluo gave Xu Jingan a bottle of anti-wolf spray, winked at him, and Xu Jingan smiled knowingly.

"Stop." Seeing Xu Jingluo and Xu Jingan coming straight over, two soldiers came up to stop them.

Xu Jingluo didn't say a word and directly 'sprayed'.

With a snort~~, the two little soldiers were suddenly hit, covering their eyes and rolling on the ground.

The other guards heard the howl and didn't know what was happening, so they all gathered around with knives and guns.

However, before they could get closer, the spray penetrated their mouths and noses, causing them to fall to the ground, and in a short time dozens of gatekeepers were brought down.

The people were stunned and didn't even know what was going on.

"What are you still doing? Get out of town. ”

Xu Jingluo yelled at the people who were stunned there, and everyone came back to their senses, and rushed out of the city in a swarm, trampling the officials who had been sprayed with wolves and screaming, and Xu Jingluo and others also took the opportunity to enter the city.

Changning City is an ancient seaside city with a population of hundreds of thousands, not to mention bustling and lively, with bustling pedestrians.

However, commerce does not seem to be very developed, and the most you can see on both sides of the street are grocery stores, oil and grain shops, and there are not a few inns.

Even if there are few inns, it means that there are no foreign merchants and no floating population.

Speaking of which. It is also reasonable, who would come here in such a remote southern city?

Xu Jingluo felt that this city was full of business opportunities, if in the past, she didn't dare to say this, but now with Shuanglong City, a seaside city, everything is different.
