Chapter 37: Wine? Don't sell!
"I've already communicated our thoughts with several other doctors and county teachers." Su Cheng said.
"Oh? So what do they say? ”
"Most of them are in favor, but so many counties and towns defend against the Rong people together, it's not just just talking, at least one must take the lead, and some counties have a close relationship with the Rong people...... In short, this matter is not easy. ”
Fan Qian showed a wry smile.
"Hehe, that's right, for so many years, Yiluo Zhirong has been so active in the hinterland of Wangji, because the various forces in our Wangji have squeezed out and fought with each other, so that they have room to survive." Xin said again.
The water is too deep, the Rong people are not simple barbarians, they not only have close ties with the various forces of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but even with the princes outside the Qi.
The safety of a few townships is not within the consideration of these bigwigs.
These things are not something that Xin You and Su Cheng can fundamentally solve.
What they can do is to unite as much as possible to prevent the incursion of the Rong people.
As he spoke, Fan Qi's attention was also attracted by Xiao Wu's ox cart.
However, it was not the ox cart that attracted him, but the three large urns on the ox cart.
"It's ...... Filled with wine?"
Fan Qi asked.
Xin nodded again, and Fan Qi smiled: "Didn't you bring ...... specially here?"
"It's not for you, it's our new wine from Xinyi, but these are just samples." Xin said again.
"New wine, ......" The corners of Fan Qi's mouth were already drooling.
Seeing Fan Qi's appearance, Xin smiled helplessly: "Don't beat my idea of three urns of wine, I have already prepared your wine for you." ”
As he spoke, Du Gan took down an identical wine urn from Xin You's car and gave it to Fan You.
"Hahaha! What wine! I must treat Xin Jun well tonight! Fan Qi laughed.
"Won't you entertain me without wine?" Xin quipped again.
"Of course not, how could it be?"
Fan Qian had already prepared food at the township school and waited for Xin to come over again.
However, Xin decided to take a look at the market in Puyi first and take a turn.
After all, it's still early.
Fan Cheng took the initiative to be a guide and took Xinyi's convoy to the market in Puyi.
During the Zhou Dynasty and the early Spring and Autumn Period, the state still had very strict restrictions on the management of commerce.
There are strict rules about what can be sold, what can't be sold, and how it should be sold.
In the middle and later periods, commercial activities were not so strict, but there were still restrictions.
The city of Puyi is not very large among the surrounding counties and towns, that is, a few nearby towns and towns to exchange some ordinary goods.
The market is set up on the north side of Puyi, where there is a large open space.
The open space is surrounded by pointed railings that separate the market from the eup-eup fortress of Uraeup.
When Fan Qi and his party walked over, a middle-aged man ran over in small steps.
"This is the Sishi Fan Cheng of Puyi." Fan Qi introduced.
The market is the person who manages the market.
All merchants who do business in the market must register here in the market.
Xinyi is no exception.
Xiao Wu and Si Shi Fancheng are familiar with each other, and they also know the process, so they quickly completed the procedures.
"Xin Jun, if you want to go to the wine market, please come with me." Enlightenment.
Xin said again: "Don't worry, I want to go to other stalls to have a look." ”
Fan Cheng had other things, so let Fan Cheng enter the market again with Xin.
The market is divided into pieces and sells different things.
"This is the bunk of firewood, and they are rich in wild boar skins." Xiao Wu said.
The boundary between savages and Chinese people has gradually blurred in the mid-to-late Spring and Autumn period.
In particular, the princes of Kiwai gradually blurred the line between the countrymen and the savages in order to have more laborers and warriors.
During the reign of Jin Huigong, he "served as a state soldier", which changed the "fighting to defend the community" of the people, and expanded the scope of conscription to the strata other than the people, greatly expanding the source of soldiers.
Although the Zhou royal family did not carry out corresponding reforms, the connection between the savages and the Chinese people became closer and closer.
Especially in the Gongyi of Suili, because of the natural reason of the geographical location, there is almost no difference between it and the savages.
It's just that the political status of the Chinese people is slightly higher, after all, they can fight for the country and earn credit.
However, economic exchanges between the country and the field are also very frequent.
"Gentlemen, please look at our wild boar skins, the best wild boar skins!" A wild man shouted at the top of his voice: "Wild boar, the price is affordable, and it is durable!" ”
He wrapped a large black pigskin around his body and writhed in front of the stall.
"These savages are really unorthodox."
Du Gan frowned.
"In this way, they can attract more people to see the wild boar skins." Xiao Wu has become commonplace.
"We people have never shouted so loudly when selling things." Du Gan continued.
Xiao Wu said: "These savages are descendants of the Yin people, and they have always sold things like this. ”
Du Gan wanted to say something, but heard Xin say again: "I think this is very good, how can you sell things without shouting?" ”
"I can't shout......" Du Gan shook his head.
The blood of the Chinese people is basically from the ruling class of the Western Zhou Dynasty and is their distant relative.
The savages were the civilians of other countries conquered by the Zhou people in the process of founding the country.
The Zhou people, who attach importance to the blood patriarchy, have a feeling of looking down on the Chinese people psychologically.
Even the lowliest Chinese like Du Gan felt that he was nobler than a savage.
After all, his "ancestor" must have been some nobleman.
And the ancestors of the savages were commoners among commoners.
As a traverser, Xin would naturally not have such thoughts.
He came to Chai Chen's stall and looked at these wild boar skins, which were indeed much better than the wild boar skins in Xinyi.
"Gentleman, do you want a boar skin?" The merchant asked.
Xin shook his head again: "I'm just looking at it casually. ”
He didn't come out with much money, and good steel had to be used on the blade.
"What more does the gentleman want? I can lead the way for a gentleman. The merchant said, "The little one's name is Tuyi, and he is a merchant who is contemptible." ”
"Chai Yan belongs to Qingshui County, right? Does your county have sake brewing? Xin asked again.
"Wine ...... There is a ......" Tu Yi scratched his head embarrassedly: "But our wine is all turbid wine, and it can't be put on the table." ”
Xin nodded again, winemaking is a relatively advanced technology, and wine is generally not passed on to savages, so savages can make wine.
Even if it can be brewed, it will not be sold casually.
"However, the Shi family of Xingdi in the next county is good at winemaking, and their ancestors have made wine for the King of Shang!." Tuyi Road.
"Have they ever been to the bazaar in Puyi?" Xin turned back and asked Si Shi Fancheng.
"Naturally, no." Fan Cheng said affirmatively: "Shi's wine is generally requisitioned by the master and dedicated to the royal family or princes." Only a small amount of wine can be bought, but it is generally sold in the market of Ganlu. ”
"I see." Xin nodded again.
Xinyi's liquor can only be said to be acceptable, and Xin thinks that if he can get a better quality brewed liquor, the taste and texture of the distillation will definitely be on the next level.
But now it seems that it is not possible.
"Gentleman, when will our wine be sold?" Xiao Wu asked eagerly.
"Sell? Our wine, not for sale! Xin waved his hand again.
