Chapter 4: Going out for the first time

For his son, who is only five years old, Hou Dahai always has an inexplicable pressure when facing him. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info especially in those clear eyes, there is always a clarity that does not match the age.

Fortunately, this year, Hou Dahai has long been accustomed to his various accidents. also summed up a set of ways to get along with this precocious son. So when Hou Xiaochan said that the younger brother wanted to do his own business, Hou Dahai was surprised but not surprised.

"The location of the green building at home is really good, and the business is also very good according to the housekeeper, but it is not to my liking. ”

After saying this, Hou Ping'an secretly raised his eyes and looked at his father. When he found out that he was really listening, he told his father about his plan.

For the new terms that occasionally pop up in his son's mouth, Hou Dahai has long been surprised. Although I can't understand it all, it is generally clear that my son wants to make some changes in the layout of the building. Hou Dahai did not comment on what he did not understand, but it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

After all, one thousand taels is not a small amount, and the net profit of the entire Hou Mansion is only about ten thousand taels a year. Even if this person is his own son, he can't just allocate it. What's more, this son is only five years old, and age is Hou Ping'an's biggest shortcoming.

If it's hard to make a decision, then don't do it for the time being. After sending the sister and brother away, Hou Dahai summoned the lame old butler standing at the door.

Early the next morning, Hou Ping'an received a silver ticket of 1,000 taels from the housekeeper.

I don't know if this is a "big gamble" by Hou Dahai. After all, taking about a month's income from the entire Hou Mansion and giving it to a five-year-old child is something that almost no one would want to believe.

Now that you have the money, you have to act. So after Hou Ping'an simply changed his clothes, he got into the family carriage and went to Houjia Town. Due to the fear of the unknown, Hou Ping'an has been in this world for a year, but today is the first time he has left the mansion where he has lived for a year.

I don't know if I am not at ease with Hou Ping'an, but the groom has been replaced by the old housekeeper of the family at some point. Hou Ping'an didn't ask much, after all, his body was only five years old, even if he was precocious, it was impossible for parents to rest assured, this was really normal.

Houjia Village is only a stick of incense from Houjia Town. When Hou Ping'an was still admiring the green mountains and green waters on the side of the road, the carriage had already arrived in Houjia Town.

Houjia Town is actually similar to Houjia Village, with only about 2,000 people. Ninety percent of the people in the town are basically surnamed Hou. The only difference from Houjia Village may be that it is surrounded by low walls, and commerce is more developed.

Although Houjia Town is only a small town with only 2,000 people, its commercial development is not inferior to those counties with a population of more than 10,000. It's just that because Hou Ping'an has never been to other places, and he is a soul from another world, he doesn't know much about it. After all, Houjia Town is the southwest of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the largest gathering point for trading with those tribes.

The entire southern part of the Great Zhou is surrounded by mountains, which are full of small tribes ranging from a few hundred to nearly a thousand.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty, troops were also sent to attack, but in less than a month, they lost 30% of their troops, and the expansion of the territory was less than 100 miles. Coupled with the various poisonous smoke miasma in the jungle, and those elusive small tribes, the Great Zhou Dynasty had to give up the plan to go south.

Because they failed to lay down the 100,000 mountains, the various medicines and jade treasures unique to the mountains became the dreams of people outside the mountains.

And the people of the tribe in the mountains also have great demands for all kinds of iron riding cloth in the north, so Houjia Town came into being.

Houjia Town is said to be a town, but in fact, it is better to say that it is a larger market.

As for the two thousand people in Houjia Town, of course, it means the people who settled here, and as for the merchants and caravans who traveled on their feet, of course, they were not among the two thousand. In other words, these two thousand people are basically merchants, shopkeepers and associates here.

The southwest is mountainous, and Houjia Town is built between the two mountains and is established in a zigzag shape. There is only one main street, but it is ten miles long.

At the entrance of the town, the men of the family were waiting for the master and servant early in the morning. After Hou Ping'an got out of the car, the man saluted the two slightly, and then drove away. There were no words from beginning to end.

Hou Ping'an withdrew his gaze from the man, looking at the three words of the huge Houjiazhen on the low city wall, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He really returned to ancient times, to an era he didn't know.

Looking at the two towering mountains next to him, Hou Ping'an couldn't help but think that if someone wanted to attack this place in the future, as long as he sent two teams of soldiers to climb the two mountains next to him and dump flammable things such as fire oil, there would be no reason to be spared if he wanted to come here.

But he thought about it again, this place is located in the southwest border, and when someone hits here, he thinks that the Central Plains has been decided, so why should he capture this place?

Thinking about it, Hou Ping'an couldn't help but be a little funny about his messy thinking, he was ready to do business, why did he think about this.

The rich family has its own bearing.

No matter how much Hou Ping'an in his previous life was a guy who didn't understand etiquette, after coming to this world for a year, whether it was a servant or a sister in the family, it would have an impact on him more or less.

Walking slowly into the town, you will see the things on both sides of the street.

Whether it is the various objects at the door of the shop or the crowd coming and going on the street, it gives Hou Ping'an an an extremely strong sense of freshness.

The first place you enter at the south gate is a wine shop, and the few low tables that can be chatted about are already full of people. However, most of them were not dressed like Hou Ping'an, and they should all look like tribesmen.

This is very different from the image of the savages surrounded by animal skins and leaves in Hou Ping'an's imagination, and it seems that the people of the tribe are not all barbarians.

Seeing that they were drinking, Hou Ping'an couldn't help but feel a little thirsty. Raising his eyes and looking at the housekeeper behind him, seeing that he had no objection, Hou Ping'an also walked in.

Of course, it is not possible to sell only liquor, but also a variety of fruit-based drinks.

Hou Ping'an picked a kind of food that he had eaten at home, and sat down on the seat near the door. The people who were supposed to be at the table with him got up and left automatically after seeing him sit down.

Of course, this is not because of Hou Ping'an's face or aura, but because there is a lame old man standing behind Hou Ping'an.

This made Hou Ping'an a little more curious about the strength of his family. But he didn't ask, and neither did the old butler.

The people in the wine shop are all sitting together in twos and threes, and you can tell them apart by looking at the clothes. After all, coming from such a far place in the south, it is basically not one person, at least three or two people together, and at most dozens of people in company.

Most of the people in the wine shop were talking about the Tianxing Cave, and although Hou Ping'an was curious about their conversation, he was not interested. After all, he was just a child, and there were some things beyond his power. Besides, what can be talked about in the wine shop is not a secret, Hou Ping'an is more looking at the furnishings in the wine shop.
