I, the younger brother of King Zhou, lead the Taoist ancestors to do business

After the Yin merchants ushered in a bumper harvest, there were more small vendors on the street.They will sell bamboo baskets made of bamboo, wild vegetables and fruits picked in the mountains and forests, and so on.

Women with weaker strength can't do heavy work, but they are smart, and they will specially choose some tasks that require little effort to do.

After markets such as road construction and mining were occupied by men, the textile market was also occupied by women.

After the fields were planted, many women who couldn't stay at home brought baskets and wooden benches to the most prosperous places in the city and began to mend clothes for passers-by to earn some food.

"Hey, Mrs. Tian, ​​the clothes you sew are really strong!" a rough man said carelessly.

He has not married a wife so far, and he once thought about sewing his own clothes, but his hands are so rough that he couldn't sew them well after sewing for a long time!With such a long time, he might as well go to work for half a day, and the wages he earns are enough to sew dozens of pieces!

The woman called Mrs. Tian smiled, she chatted lightly, and the man paid the food and walked away.

"Sister-in-law Tian, ​​it is said that you made a few more clothes? Why don't you sell them to me cheaply?" Another person came up and said with a smile.

When Mrs. Tian heard the words, she knew that her big business was coming.So she quickly took out the clothes that had been cut for two nights from the basket.

The man picked up the clothes and looked at them, and couldn't help but praise them repeatedly.

"It's really thick to the touch, and the pattern is pretty. My daughter is going to get married in half a month, and I'll ask her to wear this dress as a dowry!"

The man looked at the clothes several times, and after confirming that the seams were strong, he handed six coins to Mrs. Tian.

Six!Ordinary men only have two or three coins a day!

Mrs. Tian is careful and quick, and after one day, she has earned more than 100 catties of grain!

In the evening, when her husband came to pick her up, they all came with a cart.

The husband laughed, his wife is the most capable woman in all the villages, and his co-workers all praised him for being lucky.

The daughter-in-law has been busy all day, how dare the husband let the daughter-in-law move around?He asked his wife to sit in the car with the grain, and he took the grain to the grain farm.

The couple read the exchanged receipt several times, and finally kept it on their chests.

It's getting better now!

When they went back, they went to the restaurant for the first time and bought two sticks.

The skewers are skewered with meat wrapped in spices and red oil.Just by sniffing it closely, the smell opened up their taste buds, and they could hardly stop their saliva.

When the meat was put in their mouths, they seemed to have passed away. Did they think that they would eat the delicacies of the fairy world today?

They looked down at their clothes in a trance again.When will they be able to wear such thick clothes?There are only two patches on the clothes.

There is also cotton used for making clothes, which they had never heard of before!

After all, Yin Shang and Xiqi did not tear their skins openly, so the two places also had sparse contacts.

A businessman in Xiqi took over his father's mantle after his father's death, and planned to go to the Yin merchants to do business.

The merchant was a young boy in his twenties. He took his servants and led the donkey cart from the center of Xiqi across most of the land of Xiqi to the border city of Xiqi.

Along the way, he couldn't help admiring the beautiful scenery of Xiqi.

Look at me, Xiqi, everyone has no worries about food and clothing, and there are very few people who starve to death in Xiqi.In winter, there is a magic weapon in the sky that is not afraid of the severe cold. In summer, although it is hotter, people still live well.

The more the businessman looked at the figures of the people in Xiqi, the more comfortable he felt.

Although people have sad faces, few are skinny.It is not necessary to be fat, after all, the food provided by the government is limited, it is enough to fill people up, but it will not keep them alive.

Although every meal needs relief from the government, at least people don't have to worry about food.

The businessman submitted the paperwork to the guard at the gate of Xiqi City, and he was able to pass it.

Before leaving, he saw the handwriting carved on the city wall, and his heart was complicated for a while.

Hey, it's really rare to see such a fertile fiefdom like Xiqi, but he's leaving Xiqi today.

The businessman is a businessman who likes to be lively and prosperous, but in his impression, most of the people in the Shang Dynasty did not have enough to eat, and even many people would starve to death every year.

The businessman felt a little out of breath when he thought of that environment, he sighed, and couldn't help but feel more sympathy for the people of Yin and Shang.

Forget it, there will still be less food at that time, so let's make it the same price as Xiqi, as it will lay the foundation for future business.

After thinking about it, the businessman flicked his whip, the donkey brayed, and the speed of pulling the goods was faster.

The businessman finally came to the gate of Benxing City. As he got closer to the gate, his brows gradually frowned.When he came under the city gate, he looked up at the top plaque, his eyes opened wide unconsciously.

The strokes of the three characters Benxingcheng are sharp and murderous, and the businessman is also a literate person. These three characters startled him and almost sat on the ground.

"Who wrote this word? With these three words shocking here, I think this city is not bad!"

He muttered, and the angry person beside him replied loudly, "This is written by the king himself, so it is naturally majestic!"

The businessman was stunned again, where did the hero come from, so good-spirited?This momentum is rare in Xiqi!

He lowered his head and saw that the man was the guard guarding the city.The businessman froze for a moment, and out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of another guard.

The other man was tall and burly, with a ruddy complexion. He continued to look down, and saw the fat on the guard's waist through the seam of his clothes.

The guard was shocked!

He quickly covered his stomach and said in horror: "Why are you staring at me?!"

merchant:……

After reading the official document, the guard hurriedly waved his hand to let the businessman pass, and his eyes on the businessman became more subtle.

Merchants can only bite the bullet and bring their servants and goods into the city.

As soon as he entered the city, the businessman paused for a moment. The situation in the city was different from the dilapidated one he had imagined.The road is clean and tidy, and the houses on both sides are neat and tidy. It seems that they have only recently repaired it.

The businessman was dazed. He walked in in a daze. Some people saw him and pointed enthusiastically: "Are you here to do business? There is a street over there with the most people. Everyone is doing business there."

The businessman looked at the enthusiastic old lady, and the endless smile on her face left him at a loss.

Why is this person so happy?This sincere smile can't be found anywhere in the streets of Xiqi, let alone on the face of an old man.

He realized what was going on and looked around, only to see people all over the street, old and young, and more than half of them were laughing.

Why are people happy?

Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, the old lady pulled him and said, "It's okay if you don't know the way. Fortunately, I'm free today, so you can follow me."

The merchant has many servants with him, and he is not afraid that the old lady will sell him.After hesitating for a moment, he decided to go to the market with the old lady.

Along the way, he saw children under the tree playing with a strange box, some people were flapping pieces of paper, and children gathered together and jumped in the grid drawn with branches on the ground.

The businessman was surprised that Xiqi's children had been helping the family with farm work since they were young. They rarely played, let alone had so many tricks.

Seeing that the people on the street had no worries, he finally couldn't help but asked the old lady: "Do you know that people in Xiqi get food without working? Everyone never has to worry about food..."

The old lady's answer was beyond the businessman's expectation.

"Of course I know. If I said that I had some thoughts back then, I don't like it at all now!"

The businessman frowned, he was extremely puzzled, "Why don't you like Xiqi..."

"How good?" The old lady turned her head and asked him back, "Xiqi can only give each person so much food after all. Do you know how much food my family has saved in the past few years by farming the land honestly?"

"How much?" the merchant stammered.

The businessman set a relatively large amount for the old man in front of him based on his own consideration.

Two hundred catties.

You must know that the grain distributed by Xiqi is limited, and some people who know how to save grain have deducted it hard, and they have only withheld two hundred catties over the years.

Farmers are naturally excluded.

When it comes to food storage at home, the old lady is in a much better mood. She smiled and said: "My family has enough food for my family to feed for 12 years! And it's still a meal."

The businessman was shocked, his eyes full of disbelief, "How could this be? How could there be so much food in storage?!"

The old lady sneered, "My family's food storage is relatively small, and the old Li's family in the village has enough food for 20 years!"

The businessman's brain was buzzing, and he shook his head, suddenly feeling dizzy.

Later, the old lady took the businessman to see music workshops, bookstores, medical centers, restaurants, etc. The businessman went from shock to heart beating to numbness to some doubts about life.

He was originally here to sell goods, but when he smelled the aroma of the restaurant, he couldn't walk for a moment.

In the end, he found a way to exchange some of the goods for a few coins, and only then did he eat the unique food of the restaurant.

The moment the delicious food came into his mouth, he only felt that his goods had not been exchanged for nothing.Xiqi has never had delicacies that permeate people's souls so much. Even if there are, they are not something that a businessman can afford. Such delicacies will only be exclusive to nobles.

Later, he went to the band and listened to the books. He seemed to have forgotten that he was a businessman.When he came to Benxing City, he seemed to have come to a fairyland on earth, and the businessman lived drunkenly and dreamily for several days.

On the last day, there was only a little of his goods left.

The businessman sighed. He sold out the last bit of goods and was lost in thought before leaving with a small amount of grain.

He stayed in Benxing City for another day and stayed up all night. On the second day, he made a decision.

He doesn't plan to go back to Xiqi anymore, he plans to move his family here.Since then, both he and his descendants have been Yin merchants.

Although there are a small number of businessmen who come to Yinshang to do business, they are often active in Xiqi.After coming and going, many Xiqi people along the road also knew the current situation of the Yin and Shang Dynasties.

Many people started to think about it. They touched the muscles on their arms, thinking that they have a lot of strength, if they go to Yin Shang, they will not be able to afford food?

Besides, Yin Shang sounds colorful. If you don't go to the fairyland on earth in this life, isn't this life in vain?

As Yinshang got better and better, many people moved their minds to "immigrate".In Xiqi territory, among a hundred people, there will always be one or two people missing.

When Ji Fa learned of this, she was very angry, and under the worry, she hid a ray of relief.

This time is a disaster...and a blessing.

After this incident, fortunately, many people thought of farming by themselves.

Ji Fa didn't miss this opportunity. He thought about how to increase Xiqi's grain production, and at the same time let people observe how the Yin merchants farmed the land.

After learning that Yin merchants mined to make farm tools, Ji Fa thought deeply.

He looked sideways at the spies and said, "You said Tu Xingsun presided over the mining?"

The spy cupped his hands, "Yes!"

Ji Fa looked up at Jiang Ziya, "Father Xiang, look..."

Jiang Ziya lowered his eyes in thought, and then pinched his fingers and said: "It's nothing, I will send a voice transmission to my senior brother for fear of leaving a grandson, and Tu Xingsun is his apprentice."
