Chapter 2 Walk with me
Xue Yutang smiled: "No matter when you get up, it will be morning!"
Yue Wuying was ridiculed by Xue Yutang, gave him a blank look, let go of himself for the first time, did not get off the bed, Xue Yutang also felt sorry for Yue Wuying, so he set a table in front of the bed, and Yue Wuying ate the breakfast brought back by Xue Yutang with a happy face.
Xue Yutang saw that Yue Wuying had almost eaten, and said, "I just inquired outside, we have arrived at the Pre-Qin Empire!"
Yue Wuying was chewing something in his mouth, and when he heard Xue Yutang's words, he was stunned, and looked at Xue Yutang with an incredible expression: "Xianggong, aren't you dreaming! The Northern Yan Kingdom is tens of thousands of miles away from the Pre-Qin Empire, and there are so many countries in between, how can it be possible to reach the Pre-Qin Empire all at once!"
Xue Yutang smiled bitterly: "I also think it's impossible, but I'm afraid it's a fact now!"
Yue Wuying was stunned for two seconds, and suddenly jumped up from the bed, put on the clothes that Xue Yutang bought for her last night, and ran to the side to freshen up and dress up, this speed made Xue Yutang stunned, and after a while, Yue Wuying cleaned up, took Xue Yutang's hand and said: "Xianggong, hurry, while it's still dark, let's go shopping!"
Xue Yutang looked at Yue Wuying, who was excited, and could only sigh that no matter what woman was, this shopping was their favorite.
Yue Wuying ran to Yin Sanniang and Yun Lan's house, and helped Yun Lan, who had just woken up, out, Xue Yutang saw Yun Lan, who was still a little pale, and originally wanted to persuade her to rest in the inn, but she didn't expect Yun Lan to be full of excitement, and wanted to go out shopping with Yue Wuying and Yin Sanniang, Xue Yutang had to swallow back the words that had already reached his mouth.
Yue Wuying and Yin Sanniang supported Yun Lan in front, and Xue Yutang was alone behind the three women who were already chattering and discussing before they could get out of the inn, feeling the hardships of going out this time.
A few people came out of the inn to the street, different from the relatively quiet environment of the inn, as soon as they walked out of the door, the noise was endless, the whole street was full of people, everyone was dressed relatively fashionably, and it was rare to see someone dressed in tatters, but it was a thriving appearance.
At first, Yun Lan still needed Yue Wuying and Yin Sanniang to support her, but after a few stalls with all kinds of accessories, this Yun Lan was already able to walk on her own, stopping in front of each stall from time to time, and excitedly picked up her favorite things to discuss with Yue Wuying and Yin Sanniang.
Xue Yutang looked at Yun Lan's performance in surprise, it seems that the best way to heal a woman is to take her shopping.
The three women didn't take a step on the street to take a closer look at what was being sold here, but many times they didn't buy it, and they enjoyed the shopping process more.
Xue Yutang felt very strange, because it was almost an hour walking here, Xue Yutang didn't meet a single cultivator on this street, the whole street was walking with ordinary people, which was completely different from the Great Song Dynasty, even in a small town in the Great Song Dynasty, you might meet one or two cultivators mixed with ordinary people, so the people of the Great Song Dynasty would not easily have any conflicts with others on the street, because they were afraid that if they didn't put their minds to provoke the cultivators, the better ones would be beaten, and the bad ones might lose their lives directly, and there would be nowhere to redress their grievances。
But such a big town didn't have a single cultivator, which made Xue Yutang feel very strange.
It took almost two hours for a few people to walk, and they didn't even finish this street, even if a few people walked slowly, but you can see how big this place is.
Xue Yutang was thinking about seeing if he could find a place and buy a Tieling carriage, after all, there was still a lot of way to go, and a few of them couldn't keep walking on foot, so when would it take to get to the imperial city of the pre-Qin Empire.
But up to now, Xue Yutang has never seen a car dealership, let alone a Tieling carriage.
This street is full of goods, almost everything you can say is here, from here you can see the strength of the pre-Qin Empire, almost all the merchants of the country are willing to come here to do business, there are two reasons, the first point is that the silver money here is recognized by all the countries in the Hezhou continent, there is no need to bother to exchange their own currency, saving the country for the exchange of coins pump, the second is that due to the strength of the pre-Qin Empire, he does not go to others to trouble even if it is good, no country dares to come to him for trouble, even the Han Dynasty, which is known as the second in the Hezhou continent, is actually less than two-thirds of the pre-Qin EmpireThey were willing to resolve conflicts with the pre-Qin Empire through diplomatic means rather than using force, and often the situation was just a relatively decent compromise.
Therefore, the commercial scale here is unprecedentedly strong, and the strong commercial scale also makes the economy of the pre-Qin Empire stronger, and with a strong economic strength, it also promotes the pre-Qin Empire to become stronger and stronger, which also makes all the countries around him feel more and more threatened, but fortunately, the pre-Qin Empire has not used troops for decades, which makes the surrounding areas, especially some small countries, have some illusions of self-indulgence, they think that the pre-Qin Empire will give up the use of force in order to maintain the prosperity of the realm, and some small countries that are more reckless and reckless even began to tentatively shout on the border of the pre-Qin Empire, and make some inappropriate moves。
However, the pre-Qin Empire is only a scare in many cases, and it is forcibly suppressed by using diplomacy, and some small countries are becoming more and more arrogant after a long time, they think that they have been fighting with their neighbors all the year round, and this army has a lot of experience, on the contrary, the pre-Qin Empire has not had a big war for many years, and the army has no combat effectiveness, but they have never thought that the territory of the pre-Qin Empire is how many generations of people have forged with their lives, and the experience and system of their battles are the most complete。
These small countries always think that they can expand their territory through reckless military force, and the economic development will naturally come up when they expand their territory, but they have not thought that their country has been fighting all year round, and the internal environment of the country is very unstable, which makes these businessmen unwilling to come to them to do business, and those who are willing to come are bloodsucking businessmen who make war money, and they use uncivilized commerce to plunder a lot of resources from their country, and then exchange some cheap things for the blood and sweat of the people, and all this leads to the domestic economy becoming more and more sluggish, and so on, resulting in a vicious circle of worse and worse overall domestic environment。
Xue Yutang didn't have time to pay attention to all this, but a few men on the side of the road talked excitedly about the first time the pre-Qin Empire used force to the outside world and won a big victory, which made Xue Yutang feel very surprised, you must know that the pre-Qin Empire has not used troops for decades, and now it is suddenly because of the unprovoked provocation of this small country, or the pre-Qin Empire has given up decades of peace and began to change the national strategy, but for the entire Hezhou Continent, every action of the pre-Qin Empire may affect the nerves of the entire continent, and even change the existing pattern, the pre-Qin Empire absolutely did not dare to use troops easily, and now it seems that this statement is still up for discussion.
Xue Yutang shook his head with a smile, thinking to himself if these were a bit much, his army was still 108,000 miles away from the pre-Qin Empire, even if the two families met, I don't know how many years it would take, and it was still unknown whether Bai Linglong and Gao Feng had this ambition, and he didn't have this kind of idea.
The moon has no shadow, Yin Sanniang and Yun Lan saw a ready-to-wear shop again, and walked in with excitement, completely forgetting Xue Yutang who was following behind them, Xue Yutang was really tired of shopping, it happened that there was a tea stall opposite the ready-to-wear shop, and a simple shed was set up on the street, the long-spouted kettle was steaming on the fire, a large blue and white porcelain pot was placed on the table, and there was a stack of big bowls on the table, everyone who entered the tea shed did not need to talk much, took down the bowl, and poured out a bowl of tea from the teapotWhen you leave the store, you'll go to the table to collect the dishes and money.
Xue Yutang likes this kind of place very much, it makes people feel very casual, and there will be no uncomfortable feeling in a big restaurant, you come and I go in this tea shed, the business is very good, Xue Yutang sat on the edge of the tea shed, and when he arrived at a bowl of tea, the store sent a few small plates, and when he left, he chatted and asked: "The guest officer is from out of town?"
Xue Yutang originally looked at the ready-to-wear shop, and when he heard this shopkeeper ask, he also looked back at the store curiously, this shopkeeper is about fifty years old, his face is dark, his cheeks can already see wrinkles, and he looks kind, Xue Yutang smiled: "Shopkeeper, how do you see that I am from out of town, I haven't said a word when I enter the tea shed!"
The shopkeeper smiled: "Guest officer, look around, the one who comes here to drink tea is so good that you are wearing, and then look at your skin and see that you are not a person who contributes, our local rich people disdain to step into this tea shed, here are all from a bitter background to come here to sharpen and rest!"
Xue Yutang looked around curiously, but not the people who came here to drink tea were wearing coarse cloth clothes, everyone's faces were dark, the fingers of both hands were thick, and the arms were thick, at first glance, they were all people who worked hard, Xue Yutang laughed twice: "Shop, what you said is not wrong, I am indeed not a person who makes money by selling my strength, but I like your tea shed!"
