At the wharf outside the town of Hecai, merchant ships are loading goods.

Xiao Jiasui was wearing a clean gray robe, holding an account book and an abacus in his hand, just like an old account room.

There is no one to see him off, Xiao Jiasui is secretly infiltrating this time, it is not suitable to see him off, there are a lot of Tokyo eyeliners here at the dock, if it is discovered, all the previous efforts will be wasted.

Xiao Jiasui was on a ship, holding the account book and counting the goods.

With the sound of a trumpet, the ships have already counted the goods.

"The number is right!"

Xiao Jiasui also said to the shipowner.

These shipowners are all from Tokyo, and they are responsible for driving the ships to Tokyo, where there will be people unloading the cargo.

Xiao Jiasui naturally followed the ship to Tokyo.

During the three-day trip, Xiao Jiasui arrived at the pier outside Tokyo.

A large number of laborers are already waiting at the docks, and these people are all Tokyo natives who are now making money by loading and unloading goods on the docks.

After unloading the goods, Xiao Jiasui entered Tokyo with the caravan, at this time Xiao Jiasui had already put on his beard, and his face was also smeared with some black powder, and he was much older all of a sudden, like a little old man in his fifties.

"Li Gang?"

Xiao Jiasui found Li Gang on top of the castle tower when he got close to Tokyo City, just glanced at Xiao Jiasui and lowered his head slightly, covering his face with his hat, he and Li Gang have met a few times, if they look at each other, they will be recognized even if they wear makeup.

"I didn't expect this Li Gang to personally guard the city tower."

Xiao Jiasui was a little surprised, Li Gang is now staying in Tokyo, and this identity guards the city tower, which shows that Li Gang attaches great importance to Tokyo's defense.

Li Gang, who was above the city tower, suddenly felt his eyelids jump, and a bad feeling suddenly rose in his heart, as if there was some danger.

Li Gang got up and came to the city wall to look at the endless stream of people entering and leaving the city, as well as the hot dock in the distance.

"Now that there are strong enemies outside, Tokyo is still so wide open."

Li Gang sighed helplessly, but he couldn't stop this, if it weren't for trade, Tokyo would be famine by now.

Li Gang couldn't understand what Sun Lei meant, he knew that Sun Lei must have a conspiracy, but he just couldn't figure out what it was.

"Well, so many caravans again?"

Li Gang looked at the caravan entering the city and frowned, these are ironclad Qi people, and there are definitely spies in them.

Xiao Jiasui didn't look up, but just followed everyone into Tokyo.

"You guys go over there and register!"

The guards of the city immediately pointed to a shed next to them as soon as they saw the reason of the caravan.

"Is this to be registered separately? Defend it hard enough! ”

Xiao Jiasui smiled in his heart.

"Here's my reasoning!"

Xiao Jiasui was naturally prepared, he was also a caravan, but he was a local caravan in Tokyo.

The soldier checked it a few times, looked at Xiao Jiasui again, and then let him go.

Xiao Jiasui entered Tokyo, quickly blended into the crowd, and walked down the street towards the inner city.

"Why is food still so expensive!"

After walking for a long time, I saw a large number of people in old clothes shouting around the grain store.

"You sold 1,700 wen a stone before when you were short of grain, but now you are not short of food, how can you still sell it at this price!"

"That's it! It is! ”

……

The crowd roared angrily, hunger is terrible, and those who are hungry can do anything.

"Seventeen hundred? It's dark enough! The purchase price is only 1,200 Wen, and it is convenient to transport it by water, so dare to increase the price of this stone by 500 Wen? ”

Xiao Jiasui shook his head when he heard this, he knew that the price of food in Tokyo was high, but he didn't expect it to be like this now.

Xiao Jiasui was not in a hurry to go to the inner city, so he watched the excitement outside the grain store.

After looking at it for a while, I went to the salt shop next to it, and the price of salt also rose very much, and the refined salt was already 100 yuan a catty.

Xiao Jiasui walked around the streets of the outer city and found that the prices in the Tokyo market had doubled, and the people were complaining.

"It looks like the turmoil only needs to be fueled a little."

Xiao Jiasui thought about it, the high-profit trade not only looted Tokyo's money, but also attracted Tokyo's caravans, and now low-profit goods from other places cannot be transported in, and goods are scarce, which is the reason for Tokyo's soaring prices.

Xiao Jiasui walked around until dark, and as soon as it was dark in the outer city, the streets became depressed, and there were many fewer people.

"The outer city is already like this?"

Xiao Jiasui also came to Tokyo back then, and there were a lot of Goolan tiles in the outer city at that time, so it would not be as depressed as it is now.

Taking advantage of the moonlight, Xiao Jiasui entered the inner city.

Stepping into the inner city felt different instantly.

"This is the bright lights, wine, and drunken Tokyo Bianliang!"

Looking at the lanterns on the street, the richly dressed pedestrians, the staggered restaurants, the mussels of the warblers and swallows, and the shouting of the tiles, Xiao Jiasui smiled, and now he can be regarded as seeing the original figure of Tokyo Bianliang.

"Inner city, outer city! Ha ha! ”

Xiao Jiasui chuckled, and he himself walked into a tile near the Fan Tower.

When I entered, I heard shouts, there were cockfighters, dogfighters, and gambling bets, looking at the gold and silver on the gambling table, and the gambling was still very large.

Xiao Jiasui ordered some food and drinks, and sat down by the window on the second floor of Wazi, where you could see Huangjianyuan Street.

Xiao Jiasui looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, and he also calculated in his heart.

Tokyo is now very divided, with the rich living in the inner city and the poor living in the outer city.

The inner city is drunk and golden, and the outer city is in dire straits.

This is the truest portrayal of Tokyo now.

Just when Xiao Jiasui was thinking about it, there was a commotion at the door of Pan Lou opposite, and dozens of idlers actually wanted to do it.

"Huh?"

Xiao Jiasui looked lively with interest.

The people in the tile didn't care about drinking and gambling, they all came to watch the excitement, and there were people behind the idlers in Tokyo.

"Who is this, no one cares about the fights on the street?"

Xiao Jiasui looked at the people around him and asked.

A group of gamblers are all familiar with the street, and they recognize it at a glance, and they comment on it, and it turns out to be idlers raised by several princes.

"What's going on here?"

Xiao Jiasui asked again.

"You don't know ......"

Several gamblers lowered their voices and said in detail, this is actually related to the struggle for imperial power.

It turned out that since Zhao Huan and Zhao Ji turned their faces and ordered the guards to blockade Genyue, the princes began to stand in their own lines, and it was already common for his subordinates to fight.

The farce lasted for a long time, and the idlers fought softly, no one killed them, and the fights were just to show loyalty.

After sitting for a long time, and waiting for the street to return to calm, Xiao Jiasui got up and left, he did not contact everyone in Tokyo, nor did he go to the secret base, but came to an inn in the inner city to ask for an ordinary room.

The management of Tokyo is very strict, and the residence must also be relied on, which makes Xiao Jiasui admire Li Gang's methods, but these tricks are not enough to deal with Qi State.
