Chapter 679 Hejiazhuang
After saying this, it may seem a bit harsh. Mr. Tian slowed down and said, "I know you have a lot of injustice in your heart, but before you reach a high position, it will be useless to do or not do it, and it will even backfire."
Sun Chuanting was speechless for a long time, and rode on the horse for a while before he let out a sigh and said, "I should have arrived at Hejiazhuang before dark."
As we moved forward, the scenery along the road became better and better, with farmland recuperation and ditches crisscrossing. Although the autumn harvest was over, it was also obvious that the harvest this year was good. There were more and more large trucks on the road, and there were loads of goods on it. There were more and more warriors riding horses, which made the guards around Sun Chuanting become more and more nervous. Later, I realized that it had nothing to do with them.
"Compared with Qulipu, it seems not that lively." Sun Chuanting calmed down and had the heart to pay attention to the surroundings.
Mr. Tian nodded immediately and just replied: "But there are not so many people, most of them are businessmen."
Because of the excitement, I didn't have much attention to the surroundings along the way, so the group did not stop and did not waste any time on the way. When I arrived in Hejiazhuang, the sun had not set yet.
After seeing the periphery of Hejiazhuang, Sun Chuanting and everyone around him couldn't help but stop and looked forward blankly.
What a big town, what a prosperous place, so neat place
"Is this Xuzhou City? But where is the city wall?" someone murmured, no one paid attention to his words. If it weren't for seeing them with his own eyes, no one would believe that there would be such a place without the wall.
Straight streets, houses with uniform styles, buildings with two or three floors, the streets are flat and wide, pedestrians, cars and horses are in and out, and the sunset sun shines on this building, making people feel that this place is made of gold.
Looking from afar, I can only see these, but everyone was shocked. When they thought, the city was the center, and only there could be prosperous and prosperous. But in front of me, this mirage that seemed to be made out of thin air, could not think of how it would appear, and how it would appear here.
"Grandma, I'm not afraid of the bandits coming over, they will have to be washed away," a servant said involuntarily.
Without city walls to block the guards, how can we block bandits and soldiers? Such prosperity is equivalent to putting gold and silver in the center of the road, waiting for others to snatch it. Do businessmen who do business realize this? How dare you operate here with confidence? Also, after the canal is diverted, Xuzhou has completely lost its way? How can it be so tidy and prosperous, without the commercial convenience brought by the canal, relying on farming and harvest, it is a barren place like Xuzhou, which will definitely be withered and decayed, so how can it be achieved?
There are all kinds of ideas, but everyone can't speak. However, in this case, people near Hejiazhuang seem to be familiar with it. If the city is raised on the flat ground, anyone who sees such a neat and magnificent town will stand stunned when they see such a neat and magnificent town without a wall or a canal hub.
"Several guest officials, my inn is spacious and the chef has a handful of braised lamb, even Fengxian and Peixian, and they can also drink famous Hanjing wine. Come and live." Before we stayed for a long time, a guest from the inn came to take a look.
"Looking at the young master like this, I must have worked hard along the way. My family has a private courtyard and there are maids in the yard. Everything is very comfortable. If you want to eat, you can go to Zhenxing Building next door to order food. You will be satisfied with it." Someone came over again.
Only then did Sun Chuanting react, shook his head in dismay, and said, "Let's go to Yunshan Inn."
I stayed in Yunshan Inn for two nights. I already felt that the rules and conveniences are convenient and I could live there. Unexpectedly, as soon as I said this, the guest recruiting guests were laughing and said one person: "Young master, you are here for the first time in Hejiazhuang. Yunshan Inn is not the best in our place. Although it is not bad, a big car shop was renovated and the place was not spacious enough."
Sun Chuanting was too lazy to talk to them too much, and the guys didn't bother to themselves and went to recruit a group of guests. Sun Chuanting and the others were about to go to the street to take a look. Before they could enter the street, a young man with the appearance of a village hero came to stop him. Sun Chuanting's servants exchanged glances with each other, some were on guard, and some took out scattered silver, guarding against the benefits of local slaughter.
"Several guests are new to you. The street rules here are not allowed to ride horses. Either stay in and store horses first, or lead horses in, or you will be punished severely." The young man said expressionlessly.
Sun Chuanting frowned and refused to let the horse ride in. What is this rule? I thought it was an opportunity to blackmail, but when I saw everyone dismounting or walking, he knew that the other party was just reminding him, nodding and rolling over and dismounting.
On their way, a middle-aged man in his forties came over with a smile, nodded and said, "This young master must be the first time he has come to Hejiazhuang. Our rules are different from other places, and there are some new places to do business. It is inconvenient for those who have no one to lead the way. The young Qi Wu is just a business to lead the way. It is only one and a half hours before dark. The young man is willing to lead the way. How about it?"
The young man who came out to remind the horse to stop, looked here, and said loudly: "In this place, if you are bullied, deceived, or thieves, you can ask Yunshan Trading Company and Sun Trading Company for justice, and you will definitely give you an explanation."
"Xiao Lian, what you said, brother, am I that kind of person?" Qi Wu turned around and smiled and cursed.
Sun Chuanting and his group did not hesitate and directly hired Qi Wu.
At the beginning of the Wuyi Qi first, he asked Sun Chuanting and his party what business he wanted to do, saying that he had many familiar introductions. Sun Chuanting and others said that he just wanted to take a look, but Qi Wu didn't care. He smiled and said that he knew that the fur goods were sold there for a higher price, and that the store at the market liked to receive goods. He also said that if he wanted to buy wine, he had a way, but the amount was too large, because the sour wine to Shanxi was booked by Master Wang.
"You have knowledge. What we come from Shanxi is to sell fur and buy wine." Mr. Tian said with a smile. Until now, everyone understands Qi Wu's identity. In addition to making money from a guide, they are also looking for opportunities to be a broker.
Seeing that Sun Chuanting and his group were not interested in joining each other, Qi Wu said that he was familiar with the nearby inn and could give a discount when he led everyone over. When he heard that the inn had been decided, he was not disappointed. He led everyone around with a smile. According to his words, "There were traitors who had committed crimes before, and set up a trap here to harm merchants, but after doing it once, he was taken and sent directly to the Jingshan coal mine. He would never think of it in his life, so the young people were doing business in a regular manner."
"Don't care about the green forests in the rivers and lakes?" a servant asked in surprise.
"Jin Ye is the big leader in the north of Jiangbei of Nanzhili. This King of Zhao is not a waste of time. When his old man speaks, who dares to make trouble?" Qi Wu said very realistically
"There are houses of salt merchants on both sides. They can live here for two months all year round, but these people have a lot of money and are easy to enjoy."
"When building these houses, Master Jin sets rules for them, and they can only build similar appearances in one place. They say Master Jin is crazy about the rules, but this exact regularity makes it comfortable to watch it for a long time."
"You said the one carrying a basket? That one is picking up garbage. There are people watching it on the street. Those who throw things around will be punished for hard labor. There are also public cottages that make it convenient for everyone to not be afraid of you. Master Jin loves Yu Jing a little crazy. He said that there is no epidemic in doing this, so let's just listen. Yu Jingjing is comfortable anyway."
"The road here has been put into great effort and it's good that it's a gravel road, which is a ox cart and paved with bluestone slabs. There are two laborers in nearby villages. Now it is specialized in this road construction and protection business, which is no worse than farming."
"These small courtyards are the residences of shopkeepers and shopkeepers in the market. The yard is not big and there are many rooms in it. Anyway, it's enough for people to work, just have a place to sleep."
Qi Wu is very familiar with this street market, and he is good at eloquence. When he knows everything, Sun Chuanting feels eye-opening. He feels extraordinary outside. When he enters, he looks like Yu Jing's neighbors. But after chatting like this, he finds that this is not an ordinary town. "Everything here is for business, to do business better," Mr. Tian concluded.
After walking again, I saw a large mansion. The difference between this mansion and other places was that there was a pergola in front of the yard. There were several large black wooden boards under the pergola. Two servants were brushing off the white words painted on the board with brushes. A group of people dressed in accounting documents were surrounded by boxes of pens, inks, papers and inkstones, chatting in a bunch of them. Seeing this scene, Qi Wu smiled and said, "Young Master, you are a coincidence. This is a scene in Hejiazhuang, and today I happened to catch up."
After saying this, Qi Wu looked up at the sky, and smiled and said, "Just wait here."
It's natural that everyone doesn't care. The sun sets west and almost half of the sky. It's a little dim. Someone picked out lanterns from the courtyard to make it brighter. Qi Wu pointed and said, "Everything in the market and the salt market is in this courtyard. There are dozens of managers and hundreds of servants under the command of the chief executive and the hundreds of servants are busy at all times. I heard that even Jin Ye's farm and other business transactions are settled here."
"Who is the chief executive?"
"Cao Ruhui, when he was a monk, he was at Master Jin's side. At that time, Cao Ruhui was a guest in Yunshan Temple. Everyone said he had no eyesight, but now he looked at it. Master Jin's hands, in addition to this chief manager, there is also the shopkeeper Zhou Xuezhi. This master is right in Qingjiangpu. I heard that the situation is even bigger than what is in front of me." When it comes to Xuzhou's heroic spectrum, everyone is very knowledgeable.
