Xu Mozhi made a choice again.

Seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, human nature also!

On the other side, in the market, Zhao Si was also amazed.

"Is there a face-to-face fortune-telling business in the market now?" Zhao Si looked at Li Si beside him in surprise.

At present, the driver has left Huiji and continues to face south, and is about to approach the Lingnan generation.

The further south you go, the more different the customs and habits are from those of the Central Plains, and the more incomplete the implementation of the laws and regulations becomes.

According to the laws of the Qin state, all commercial activities were strictly regulated, and they were supplemented by a large number of legal decrees.

When I lived in Xianyang before, I had to go to a special street if I wanted to buy, and in addition to the rest of the place, private vendors were not allowed, and the folk villages also had clear regulations on how often the market was held for the head of Qianshou to buy goods, and when the market was held by the people, there were usually officials present to ensure the normal conduct of the market, and the vendors participating in the market had to back up their identity and origin.

In general, businessmen are very uncomfortable.

As the saying goes, no treacherous is not a business.

However, the Qin law stipulates that the price of any commodity must be clearly marked, and a deed must be issued after the sale of the commodity.

The same is true for private markets, where the government will also send officials to manage them on the spot, of course, not only for management, but also for tax collection.

Taxes are paid daily at markets in the countryside, but in the cities, where goods are reported every day, they can be collected once a month.

At the same time, the Qin law also explicitly prohibited the prohibition of barter, and the transaction of Qin money was naturally to promote the unification of currency, and the implementation of the Guanzhong area was very good.

But again, the farther away the place, the more the law seems like a dead letter.

If this is placed in the southerner area of the Chu State, there must be street vendors where people gather.

There is no clear price, there is no deed, and the tax cannot be collected.

The reason why Zhao Si and Li Si went out alone was because there was a village market nearby, and Li Si planned to see the effect of the implementation of Qin's decrees in the most remote places, while Zhao Si had never seen a country market in this era at all, and was purely here to join in the fun.

Country markets are often held in open areas, and there are many villagers who come to participate in the markets along the road.

Market stalls are not available to ordinary people, so some people set up stalls along the surrounding roads leading to the market.

Most of them are selling lacquerware, pottery, bamboo baskets, farming tools and other daily necessities, and there are not many people selling food, and the economic level is placed here, and it is impossible for the Qin Dynasty to spread out all kinds of food vendors like the Song Dynasty.

Among them, there were also a stall with a straw mat on the ground, on which were placed a few turtle shells.

"Fang Shi also has to eat and live, they have to cultivate, and they have to collect medicine, they don't have to produce, they can't make a living, those with high knowledge go to tell fortunes to high-ranking officials and nobles, and those with low knowledge gather in the market to meet people." Lees smiled.

"Xu Fu Lusheng is a Fangshi, this group of people are also Fangshi, in fact, there is no difference, in the past, Your Majesty in order to seek longevity, I also admonished many times...... It's just that His Majesty has always refused. Lees sighed.

Those with outstanding ability, or those with strong ability to deceive people, fool the emperor, fool the nobles with less ability, and fool the people with worse ability, and the same is true for all industries.

In fact, from the time the First Emperor began to chase immortality, some things began to become uncontrollable.

Fortunately, Zhao Si's return changed all this, so that things did not get worse.

It's not that Li Si didn't persuade the First Emperor, but the First Emperor really didn't listen.

"Really? I think Your Majesty is quite persuasive. Zhao Si smiled and looked at the photo stall curiously.

……

Li Si, who was choked by Zhao Siping, was stunned for a long time before he recovered his strength, and looked at Zhao Sizheng staring at the face stall and said: "Wait until the drive back will pass through Hanoi County, Hanoi County Wencheng County Commander Xu Wang There is a girl who is strange and good at meeting people, if you want to meet, you can go and see." ”

"Xu Zhi, right?" Zhao Si laughed when he heard this.

Of course, he knows Xu Cheng's name, there are so many women who can leave their names in history, and there are even fewer women who can do one thing to the extreme and leave their names in history, and Xu Cheng is undoubtedly one of them.

"Where did the promise come from? It's a lot of shame! Li Si glanced at Zhao Si.

"That's my mistake......" Zhao Si was reminded by Li Si before he remembered that now the First Emperor did not die halfway, Xu Cheng's current official name should still be Xu Moying, of course, it is difficult to say whether he secretly changed his name in private.

"Li Xiang still believes this?" Zhao Si looked at Li Si curiously.

"Faith, but it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and it is better to believe in oneself than to believe in one's fate." Lees shook his head.

"In fact, it is like Xu Fu Lusheng and others, it is not appropriate to say that they are liars, but in fact, there is really something miraculous, if there is no means, how can you win the trust of Your Majesty?

But the so-called Immortal Destiny, I don't think they can interfere, including the so-called fortune tellers, in my opinion, it is nothing more than a glimpse of a trace, seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.

People can infer that there may be a rain storm by the low flight of the bird, and they may not be able to guess the future by some means, but I do not think that the development of things will be transferred by human will. Lees shook his head.

"Probably...... But things don't have to be set in stone. Zhao Si smiled.

This kind of thing is really hard to say, Fusang Ancestral Dragon Xu Fu is cold now anyway, Lu Sheng is nowhere to be seen now, Xu Cheng ...... Huangshi Gong ...... Do you think these people can really speculate on the destiny of heaven?

According to various rumors and historical records in later generations, these strange people and strange people had already deduced the fate of the Great Qin Dynasty and made a choice ahead of everyone in the world.

Xu Fu ran away in advance and Fusang avoided the military disaster and established himself as the king.

Lu Sheng disappeared and disappeared.

Xu Mozhi changed his name to Xu Cheng to persuade his father to steal Liu Bang and seal the marquis.

Huangshi Gong passed on Tao Strategy to Zhang Liang, and passed on the technique of I Ching to Xu Mozhi, "Taigong Tao Strategy", "Su Shu", "Heart Instrument Secret Purpose", ......

Among the folk rumors, it is comparable to the famous Guiguzi.

The teachable story of the child has been passed down for thousands of years and is talked about.

Zhao Si had no contact with this special group, but now the problem came.

How do you feel about this special group of people who are said to have a glimpse of the destiny of heaven?

"The will of the heavens does not depend on man, but when a flood occurs, man can control the water, and in order to deal with the beastmen, they will unite and resist with soldiers.

Since ancient times, people from fishing and hunting to farming began to gradually stabilize, after Yu ruled the water, only to make the world harvest.

If you blindly seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, then there will be no such stories, if there are many beasts, they will run, if the flood comes, they will run, and if there is any disaster, they must avoid, and how to achieve this magnificent China? Zhao Si said.

If we follow the logic of pursuing advantages and avoiding disadvantages, then there is no need to develop any science and technology, and there is no need to fight against nature.

"Li Xiang believes that things will not be transferred by human will, but I think that people may not be unable to cope with the occurrence of things, the sky has its reason, people have their destiny, and people will win the sky!" Looking back on the history of thousands of years before and after, Zhao Si sighed.

"How can a man overcome heaven?" Lees shook his head and smiled.

"What I'm talking about is not that man will be able to conquer heaven, but that man should have the belief that man will conquer heaven in the face of calamity." Zhao Si also shook his head.

Li Si looked at Zhao Si when he heard the voice, and was silent for a long time, but he didn't pick any more thorns after all.

"In this case, I'm afraid those people and you won't be able to pee in the same pot." Lees shook his head.

The two walked side by side, walking towards the country market along the way.

As we got closer to the market, more and more passers-by came and went, and there were more vendors on both sides of the road.

From time to time, people stop to ask for goods, and the roads become more and more congested and blocked.

"How do you sell this pottery bowl?" Zhao Si picked up a pottery bowl at random and asked.

"Straight for a penny!" When the vendor saw a customer speak, he immediately made a price.

Zhao Si nodded, took out a Qin coin and handed it to the vendor, but the vendor waved his hand again and again.

"Don't charge Qin money?" Zhao Si frowned.

"It's not that you don't accept it, if it's Qin Qian, it's five pottery bowls per penny, and Chu Qian is one penny and one bowl." The vendor kindly explained.

"In that case, why don't you accept the money from me." Zhao Sifu asked again.

"It's hard to find a lot of buying and buying to barter." The vendor pointed to the side of the stall, where there was also grain, and other lacquered linen cloth.

Zhao Si thought it was other goods from the vendor who sold pottery bowls, but now it seems that it was the money he collected to buy things.

"You see, I have collected a total of three Chu coins here, but I can't find one and a half taels of yours." The vendors spread their hands.

"If you don't say this kind of thing, I don't know, you're still weird." Zhao Si became interested when he heard this, squatted down and pressed Qin Banliang into the palm of the vendor's hand.

"And I have the right to buy you a bowl for one dollar, but I have to delay your business, ask you something, and as compensation, I will collect the other things in your shop at the market price, what do you think?" Zhao Si asked.

The vendor's eyes lit up when he heard the sound!

The temptation of a stall vendor is still very great, especially if the other party has not lowered the price and packaged it at the market price!

"If you have anything to ask, just ask, that is...... It's just ......" The vendor was halfway through his words, a little twisted, and it seemed that it was not easy to speak.

"What's it?" Zhao Si asked with a little curiosity.

"Later, when the nobles buy the rest of the goods, can they calculate the money in Qin and half taels? Return the right to be a Qin half, two to five Chu Qian ......" the vendor had a flattering smile on his face.

Zhao Si looked at Li Si when he heard the sound, and sure enough, he saw Li Si's face full of wry smiles.

The good news: the official currency of the Qin Dynasty, the very edge of the empire, had plenty of purchasing power.

The bad news: the official currency of the Qin Dynasty was severely scarce in this remote area.

(And ...... In addition, in order to eliminate ambiguity, the previous chapter was deleted, and I didn't think so much when I wrote it, I'm sorry, it was originally meant to lead the surface with a point, and use one person to refer to a group of people, and bring out groups such as Huangshi Gong, so I wrote it like this, I didn't expect there to be such a big ambiguity, I'm sorry. ）
