The Soul Castle is different from other places in the Tang Dynasty, in any city in the Tang Dynasty, there is no rule for pedestrians to pay the gate tax, but the Soul Castle has, not only merchants, but all the people in the city.

It doesn't matter if you enter the city empty-handed, because you don't charge money when you enter the city, but when you go out of the city, whether it is a prominent official or a young child who is still in infancy, according to the head of the person, one person will pay 100 yuan.

On the wall on the side of the gate, it is clearly written.

Therefore, few people who enter the city go out of the city, these people come to the city to make a living, and they have no ability. Some people who have the ability to mix well in the city, out of this city, where to beg for a living?

There are horse thieves on this side of the city, and Turkic barbarians on the other side of the city, and these people in the city also think clearly.

There are thirty-six trades in the city, all of them, but in the city, for a flat-headed ordinary person, the most profitable trades are those who open brothels, taverns, pharmacies, and weapons shops.

This is the Xiongcheng of the Tang Dynasty, there are countless men in the rivers and lakes, come here to seek a livelihood, kill a head of the Turkic barbarians outside the city, you can exchange it for copper coins, a thousand dollars!

can fall into the hands of these charlatans, that is, a few days of beautiful days, when you have money, you will drink wine and eat meat, and go to a brothel.

Therefore, the tavern brothels in the city have a good business, but they cannot be privately owned, and if they want to open a tavern brothel they must first report to the official family in the city, and wait for the official family to approve it before they can start construction, and they must admit that they are jointly opened with the official family, and sixty percent of the net income must be handed over to the official family.

In the end, the money came full circle and went back to the official's hand. It's not that these shops don't have nothing to earn, how many Jianghu men are in the Soul Castle? It's not a lot at all, even if you remove the expenses, more than 20% of the profits fall into your pocket.

It doesn't sound like a lot of money, but which man in the Wandering Soul Castle doesn't run in two ends in three days.

The remaining two businesses are a little worse than tavern brothels, and in ordinary places in the Tang Dynasty, these businesses can barely make ends meet, but this is different.

What is the best thing about the people in the rivers and lakes? They are ruthless in fighting in martial arts, because of a trivial matter, and there are not a few who make a big move. In addition, these people will go out of the city to fight face-to-face with the Turkic barbarians, and they are embarrassed to go out to meet people without a wound on their bodies for many years.

If you want to ask why the people who open weapons shops can make money in this city? Then these charlatans, who doesn't want a weapon to take advantage of? A good sword, a good knife, not to mention ten taels of white silver, are the most common prices.

However, the people who run the weapons shop are all officials in the city, even if they are the sons of the deputy chief of the capital, and they don't have the status of an official family, don't think that they can toss.

Guo Xiaojiu and the disaster water entered the city, the city is very lively, and the excitement of ordinary places is not ordinary, here are fireworks alleys all over the street, at a glance, seven or eight of the ten open shops are taverns, brothels, hospitals, etc.

The streets are full of people with swords and swords, and even next to this city gate, there is a company that specializes in business for the dead.

Dead people in this city are not an uncommon thing, but business is not very good, the rivers and lakes are dead, and if they die, they will die, and if they have no relatives or friends, they can help take a mat and wrap it up and bury it, which is the best treatment. Every year, in the yellow sand outside the city, there are countless corpses, which are eaten away by the wind and sand.

"Two guest officers, do you want a bowl of clear soup beef noodles, it's delicious and not expensive, as long as two pennies a bowl!"

Next to this city gate, there is a noodle stall, which also does a wine business, but unfortunately there are not many customers, and they are all ordinary people.

The men with swords and swords still like to go to the big restaurant in the city, and after drinking, they will find a clear place around the restaurant, or simply go directly to the inside to drink.

What is hidden and tucked is not the style of Jianghu Erlang.

Without waiting for Guo Xiaojiu to answer, Wo Shui was already sitting on a table in front of the stall and raised two fingers: "Two bowls." ”

She snorted, played with the black folding fan in her hand, and suddenly raised her head and smiled at Guo Xiaojiu, a very charming kind: "I don't have any money." ”

"Gotcha!" Although Guo Xiaojiu saw those countless restaurants and brothels from afar, he didn't plan to go to that place to have a good time, the silver money Zhou Ziheng gave him before had already been spent, and there was not much left, plus with this little girl by his side, he couldn't be too ostentatious after all.

Going to a restaurant is to drink, and going to a brothel is not necessarily for those graceful beauties to nest in bed, it may just be for someone to drink with you.

Beauty, there is one in front of her, or the best beauty in the world, thinking of this, Guo Xiaojiu also smiled happily, and his heart was happy: "Let's have a pot of wine first!"

The water is very beautiful, as soon as he sat down, the guests at the surrounding tables peeked at him from time to time, and when he saw Guo Xiaojiu with a sword, he didn't dare to be too public.

Guo Xiaojiu's face doesn't matter, you just look at it, anyway, this girl has nothing to do with him, it's just a meeting in Pingshui, this girl has to follow him, what is the purpose, he doesn't know, and he doesn't dare to ask.

If you can't beat it, you definitely don't dare to ask.

Even Guo Xiaojiu guessed in his heart that this little girl, who looked a year or two younger than herself, was an old woman who practiced some special exercises and was able to stay beautiful.

He still didn't dare to ask, so he could only hold it in his heart, if it was true, he felt that he would definitely not be able to enter this Soul Castle.

If it's fake, you have to beg for it.

After eating noodles, it's not over, this girl has to find a bigger inn first, change it, Guo Xiaojiu doesn't care, he is really tired along the way, take advantage of this effort, he is ready to take a break.

However, this girl has to let him wash up, so he has no choice but to follow this girl.

A gust of wind hit, Guo Xiaojiu opened his eyes, it was already an hour or two later, and the sun was already biased to the southwest.

Guo Xiaojiu searched for a week before she saw the girl in the house, she has now recovered her previous aura, and she is no longer the dirty, but pleasant-looking little girl who came from the desert.

Woe Shui squinted his eyes and smiled, the lethality of this smile is estimated to be more effective than those plasters in this Spirit Castle.

"Do you want us to go out and have a look in the streets?" said Misfortune tilted his ears to listen to the noise in the streets and alleys outside the house.

"Don't go!" Guo Xiaojiu turned his head, continued to squint his eyes, and lay down.

After all, he couldn't beat this little girl, and this girl ran to his ear very provocatively and blew lightly. Guo Xiaojiu silently recited in his heart: "Fairy, fairy, you can't blame me, I really have no choice." ”

can only accompany this little girl to wander around the city. After entering the city, the disaster water is like a different person, there were still some masters before, that kind of cold and glamorous atmosphere, wanting to reject people thousands of miles away.

Now, those things are all behind them.

In this Wandering Soul Castle, there are not many tailor shops, and there are also Jianghu women, but who will come to this place among these Jianghu women in the city. Those rich women, such as the woman in this city who is known as the first swordsman in Mobei, how can they look down on these small shops.

A woman who has no money doesn't even have enough money to drink. The ordinary people in the city just bought two pieces of cloth and went back to their homes to do some needlework, and the men earned money outside, and they were not too bored at home.

The most expensive thing in this place is rouge gouache, which is not a precious brand outside, but in this Soul Castle, you can shout a good price.

After all, scarcity is expensive, rouge gouache comes from outside, and you have to walk a long way in Mobei to transport it to the city. Those women in the Fengyue place, which one is not allowed to come to this place to spend several times a month.

As for why these women failed to make the tailor shop popular, there is a university here to ask, this is Mobei, so many Fengyue places, not all go to anyone's house, you have to have your own characteristics, with these tailors outside, just make some ordinary women's clothes, how can it catch people's attention?

But Woe Shui only visited these shops with extremely high prices, and let Guo Xiaojiu follow behind, every time he heard an offer, he would tremble in his heart, and quickly calculated in his heart whether the remaining money was enough to toss. This girl seemed to know Guo Xiaojiu's embarrassing situation, but she just looked at it, and she didn't even touch it.

Guo Xiaojiu listlessly followed behind the troubled water, shuttling through the streets and alleys in this Wandering Soul Castle, and in this short period of time, he had already visited several streets and alleys.

That is, it takes some effort under his feet, and it will not make Guo Xiaojiu complain, he didn't immediately look for Zhou Ziheng, he should be in the city, but the city is so big, where will he find it for a while?

As Troubled Water walked into a jewelry store, Guo Xiaojiubai was bored and wanted to reach out and touch the scabbard, but he was stabbed by the sound of the bell in his hand, which reminded him of the girl in his heart.

"Hey!" a smile immediately appeared on Guo Xiaojiu's face, as if he had figured out something he should need to understand.
