Chapter 177: Contact with the Merchant
If the Dali Dynasty is the largest empire on this continent, and the Imperial City is the largest city on this continent, and Huai'an City, which is located in the northernmost part of the Dali Dynasty, can be regarded as the largest capital city under the Imperial City.
Huai'an in the north, Yunevil in the south, Shayan in the west, the sea in the east, and the four big cities in the southeast and northwest of the Dali Dynasty. Each one has its own characteristics, and each one is the top priority of the Great Departure Dynasty. A small town like Qingniu Town has hundreds of thousands under the jurisdiction of Huai'an City.
In the long yellow sand, the carriages on the official road galloped, rolling up a cloud of dust. I saw that at the end of the official road was the towering and majestic city wall.
The city wall of Huai'an City, located on this barren land, is majestic and magnificent, stretching into the distance. A touch of the slanting sun, obliquely shining on the head of the city, abruptly abruptly makes this ancient and vast city more profound.
"Look, Huai'an City is ahead!"
On top of a galloping carriage, two children were looking with interest at the gate of the capital that was getting closer and closer.
Fu Xiaowa came from a small place, and he had never seen such a world, so how could he not be excited in his heart, and shouted excitedly. In front of it, it is the land of dreams, countless prosperous and powerful places.
The carriage came to the city, and the huge gate was thick enough to withstand the impact of the giant trees in war. There was a constant stream of horse-drawn carriages at the gates of the city, and people from various towns came to trade and do business.
The city was guarded by soldiers in heavy armor, armed with spears, and coldly guarding the city gates, year after year, rì after rì. I don't know how many years have passed, and there is no war in this Huai'an city. The strength of the Dali Dynasty has allowed this piece to grow peacefully.
The carriage drove into the city gate, Fu Xiaowa shouted innocently, looking, looking at the strange qiē, looking at the qiē he had never seen in that small place, the huge size of this qiē made it novel.
Entering Huai'an City, the wide streets and gorgeous buildings made Fu Xiaowa, who had just entered the city, feel novel. He had imagined the city of Huai'an countless times, and this qiē. All of them are beyond his imagination, and the shops on one street alone are more than the sum of the entire Qingniu Town.
"Look, it's a noodle shop, and our stumbling ones also have a shop here!"
Fu Xiaowa looked like he hadn't seen the world, and the gentleman next to him was very calm, he said: "I've been to this Huai'an City a lot, and I'm quite familiar with this place, so there's nothing to make a fuss about." I heard that the Imperial City is several times bigger than here!"
"The Imperial City is even bigger, so what should it be!" Fu Xiaowa exclaimed in unimaginable terms.
"I haven't been there either. Let's go and see it together if we have a chance!" said Shen Zhengming.
"Yes, yes!"
The carriage finally stopped at an inn, and Shen Zhengming was familiar with this place, and he used to stay here with his father, so he knew.
Fu Xiaowa and the others jumped out of the carriage together, helping the crowd to deal with the goods, and he entered the inn as soon as he saw it.
Seeing that the inn was rich and magnificent, and the furnishings were very high-end, Fu Xiaowa thought to himself, how much should it cost to stay here. In the inn in Qingniu Town, it costs one or two silver, and here I am afraid it costs five or six silver.
"Boss, stay in the hotel, five first-class rooms!"
"Okay, wait a minute, Xiao Er will bring it to you. It's a total of five taels of silver!"
Fu Xiaowa thought that the accommodation would be very expensive, but found that it was not much more expensive than Qingniu Town, and it seemed to be much better than the inn in Qingniu Town.
"How can it be so cheap, I thought it would cost a few taels of silver!" Fu Xiaowa said strangely.
Shen Zhengming smiled and said: "You don't know this, because this Huai'an City is large." So there are many inns, so there are many choices for people to stay, if it is too expensive, others will not live here, in fact, you really want to live in the expensive, no matter how expensive you are, one hundred taels of silver a night, in Huai'an City, not afraid of you spending money, afraid that you have no money to spend!"
Fu Xiaowa heard that one hundred taels of silver for one night, which was enough for ordinary people to live for more than a year.
When he came to this novel place, Fu Xiaowa always couldn't suppress the restlessness in his heart, and looked around, many things he had never seen in Qingniu Town.
After settling down, Fu Xiaowa and the others dined downstairs, and the food here was not very expensive, and several people ordered a full table. In this Huai'an city, the population is large, and the people who come here to drink and eat are also very lively.
There was a lot of noise in the inn, and Fu Xiaowa followed Shen Zhengming to talk about things.
"Zhengming, you said you came here for something, and you didn't want to do it?"
"Oh, I'm not in a hurry, I'll do it again when I help you get things done!"
"It's okay with my business, if you have anything to do, just go, don't worry about us!"
"Do you know how to find a business channel?" asked Shen Zhengming.
"This ......" Fu Xiaowa scratched his head, seriously, he really didn't have a clue at all, this Huai'an City was so huge, to be honest, he didn't know how to start.
Shen Zhengming said: "That's why you need my help, my parents have business dealings with Huai'an City for many years, a lot of grain and rice are bought back from Huai'an City, and I also know some friends in business, they are all local snakes in Huai'an City, there should be a way to help you contact the people in the business field!"
Fu Xiaowa said gratefully: "In the business field, I really can't compare to you, you know so much, you have so many relationships, and you have such a good business mind!"
Shen Zhengming smiled, Shen Zhengming smiled He didn't know that he was the only one who could get rid of Kazatu, and he was still the only one who could open the trade route with the Dali Dynasty outside the Guan.
Shen Zhengming said: "Okay, don't talk about these things that you don't have, I'll take you to meet a few friends in my father's business in the evening, maybe they can give you a clear way!"
"Thank you so much, this time it's thanks to you!" Fu Xiaowa felt that with the help of Shen Zhengming, it was really good, his mind was bright, and he knew a lot of things, and the Juhua porcelain still relied on Shen Zhengming's vision to argue.
A few people opened their own burning knives and began to drink, and at this time, the guests at the table next to them all stretched out their heads to look at where the aroma of wine came from.
At this time, the boss came over and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry, but we can't bring our own drinks!"
"Oh, I see, I'm really embarrassed, let's put it away!" Fu Xiaowa covered the altar.
At this time, I heard the boss ask: "I don't know what kind of famous wine this wine is, it is so mellow, it should be expensive!"
Fu Xiaowa smiled: "Ahaha, do you want a bowl from the boss!"
"This, then pour a small glass for the old man to taste, the old man sells countless wines, and he has never seen this kind of wine!" The innkeeper sells wine, and his shop has all kinds of famous wines in the world, Yuntai wine, Wugu God Brew, Chūn return or something, everything. He just smelled this wine very special, and it didn't belong to the taste of these famous wines.
Fu Xiaowa poured a small bowl, then handed it to the boss and said, "This wine, you have to drink it in a bowl to taste enough!"
"Oh!" the boss shook the bowl and saw that the wine was full of aroma, it belonged to spirits, and the guests next to him were drooling, and the fragrance of this wine made people want to drink it when they smelled it. They all looked curiously at the boss with the wine bowl in his eyes.
I saw the boss holding the wine, gurgling and pouring it, this wine into the mouth makes people have an attraction, so that people can't help but pour it wildly after entering it, the boss gulped and drank it, exhaled a mouthful of wine, pulled up his sleeves and wiped his mouth, this rough and indecent action couldn't help but be made.
"Good wine, such a bold wine, it makes people feel like they are riding a horse and a knife, it is really a rare and visible strange wine!" the boss laughed loudly.
Then the boss replied: "This guest officer can tell me what kind of wine this wine is, and if I have the opportunity, I also want to buy one or two jars of collection!"
Fu Xiaowa said: "This is the burning knife brewed by my own winery, if the boss likes it, I can send you a small jar!"
"Self-brewed, wow, this wine can almost be on par with the world's famous wines, it has its special flavor, it has its wild atmosphere, if the little brother wants to send a small jar, the old man will thank you first, it must be carefully treasured, wait for the old friend to visit, and then take it out to show off, hehe!" The boss said happily.
"Boss doesn't have to be polite, this altar will be given to you!" Fu Xiaowa said with a smile.
"Okay, I'll make an exception today, although we don't allow you to bring your own alcohol, you can drink as much as you like today!"
A guest next to him said: "Boss, can you sell us a bowl to taste, we have never smelled this taste!"
The boss hugged the wine jar and said like a baby: "Don't sell it, don't sell it, I want to keep it for myself, I want to drink my Yuntai here, chūn returns, buy it myself!"
The guest pouted and said, "We've drunk all of these!"
After Fu Xiaowa and the others finished eating and checking out, they found that the boss had undercharged them a lot of money, but this time it was the other way around, and they made it.
In the evening, Shen Zhengming set up a banquet in a relatively high-end restaurant in Huai'an City, and invited a few friends of his old father in business.
Shen Zhengming's old father was a big businessman, and his connections in Huai'an City were also quite extensive, and the few guests who came were all well-known figures.
Fu Xiaowa stood up and toasted: "Thank you for coming, I'll give you a glass first!"
