Chapter 114: The Pocket!!!

[Patrol mission: street patrol deterrent mission. 】

[Mission information: There are a lot of petty thefts in the imperial capital market. 】

[Mission Reward: None.] 】

“Tread, tread…”

Qiao Ji took the red warbler and Shanzhe took a task and left the Inspector General.

On the way to the bazaar.

There are two large bazaars in the imperial capital: one in the outer city and one in the inner city.

The inner city market is separated from the imperial capital No. 1 Street by two main streets, and is named: imperial capital west district market.

What the three of Qiao Ji are going to is the inner city market, which is also the most crowded place in the imperial capital.

Before anyone arrived, they heard a noise.

“Sackcloth is sold cheaply, and a foot of cloth only costs 1 copper coin and 5 copper horns.”

“The pheasant and duck I just caught today, a 3 copper coin.”

“Firewood, firewood that has been drying for three days.”

Qiao Ji saw the crowd from a distance, and there were shouts everywhere.

He looked left and right and sighed, “It’s really lively.” ”

At a glance, there are all stalls, the most of which are selling firewood and wild vegetables.

Most of them were middlemen, or people from villages near the imperial capital, who came to set up stalls in a day’s trip.

Big merchants don’t come to the market to set up stalls, they set up shop on the main streets.

The stalls in the market are all civilian hawkers, or the space is limited, and they can only be slaves, live animals and animals.

“Team leader, are we here to catch the rope criminals?”

Shan Zhe stared exclusively at the subhumans.

“No, I just don’t want to stay in the Inspectorate-General.”

Qiao Ji perfunctory.

He didn’t come out this time to hang out.

In the future, Qiao Ji needs a large number of manpower to help with the work, or it should be said that he will assemble an armed team.

A teenager is not a nobleman, how can he reasonably and legally own the armed forces? That, of course, is business, and it is normal to have more workers, right?

Very reasonable and normal.

“What kind of business do you say requires a lot of people?”

Qiao Ji’s heterochromatic pupils picked some professions and people to observe, and casually asked, “What profession has the most people?” ”

Shan Zhe scratched his head, “What kind of business, I can’t think of it.” ”

“The backpacker profession has the most people.”

The red warbler didn’t want to say it.

“Backpacker? Are those who carry cages on their backs? ”

Qiao Ji raised his eyebrows and swept away, and he could see a large number of people carrying a wooden box shuttling through the crowd.

Chiying nodded and said coldly, “They are responsible for transporting merchants’ things, and they can earn about 1 to 3 copper horns in one trip.” ”

Carriages were still too expensive for commoners, and few families owned one.

And hiring a carriage is too expensive, many civilians sell agricultural products, handicrafts, etc. with small profits and quick sales, only earn a few copper coins in one trip, hire a carriage to remove one-third and a half of the profit, few people are willing to do it.

And the cheap human-powered transportation profession of the backpacker was born.

A trip is only 1 to 3 copper horns, which is equivalent to the cost of a meal, and many people are willing to hire a backpacker to help transport them.

The imperial capital is a city with the most backpackers, a large number of people without land and no craftsmanship, people who have a lot of strength, and are willing to endure hardships and stand hard work will engage in backpackers.

“It’s all hard money.”

Qiao Ji saw many backpackers barefoot, bent over carrying cages full of goods.

After taking a closer look, he found that the most carried by the backpackers were firewood, charcoal and other heavy and cheap things.

And those who are employed are old people, women, maids, etc.

The red warbler could see that the group leader was interested in the backpackers, and said, “The most backpackers are in the port and the market. ”

There is a grand canal near the imperial capital, which also has a port.

A large amount of living materials and grain were transported by river to the imperial capital, otherwise relying only on the grain grown in the nearby fields would not be able to feed a city with a population of one million.

Most importantly, most of the fields near the imperial capital were surrounded by the great nobles to build manors.

“You are so shameless that you didn’t do that.”

“We are playing fair, if you are not satisfied, you can bid again.”

There was a commotion in the crowd and they began to move.

“Is there a charge for setting up a stall here?”

Qiao Ji frowned and looked at the commotion that took place in the distance.

“Yes, the inner city market stalls have to pay money, and the outer city market does not need money Chiying to talk, and also stares at the commotion in the distance.”

“Shanzhe, you go over first to see what the situation is.”

Qiao Ji ordered in a deep voice.

“Yes.”

Shanzhe took the large round shield from his horse and walked towards the riot.

“We’ll go too.”

Qiao Ji shook the reins in interest and rode slowly through the crowd.

“Hmm.”

Chiying led Shanzhe’s horse and followed.

By the time the two arrived, the riots had stopped.

The riot was caused by two groups of backers, and a fight broke out between the two sides.

Everyone was wounded, their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and there were broken wooden box pets all over the ground.

“What’s the situation?”

Qiao Ji asked lightly.

Shan Zhe came forward and said, “Team leader, the two of them are grabbing business and fighting. ”

“What kind of business? Can you actually get two hundred people to fight? ”

Qiao Ji raised his eyebrows and looked at the two groups of backpackers.

The difference in numbers between the two sides is a bit big, about one hundred and fifty on one side.

There may be less than sixty people on the other side, but all of them are very strong and large.

“They took on a task to repair the castle and help move the stone, brick and wood.”

Shanzhe had obviously already asked, and said, “The two sides fought each other, and finally fought.” ”

“What price?”

Joe Ji was a little curious.

“4 copper horns per person a day.”

Shanzhe sighed.

“So cheap?”

Qiao Ji looked at the two groups of backpackers in surprise.

Especially those strong people, I am afraid that a meal of 3 copper horns of bread is not enough, at least 6 copper horns are needed to barely fill their stomachs.

Joji rolled over and dismounted and came to the middle of the two groups of backpackers.

“Lord Knight.”

The two groups of backpackers bowed their heads and saluted.

Qiao Ji looked left and right and asked, “Which of you offered 4 copper horns?” ”

“Lord Knight, it’s us.”

The leader of the group of strong backpackers raised his hand, this was a strong man about two meters two or three, about 30 years old, with a scar on the left side of his face that sloped to the corner of his mouth.

“You guys offered 4 copper horns, and you didn’t make any money at all, right?”

Qiao Ji stared at each other.

“Yes.”

The strong man Scar said in a deep voice.

Another group of pockets shouted angrily, “Lord Knight, they are maliciously robbing business. ”

“That is, without them doing this, 4 copper horns a day, exhaustion is not enough to eat for a day.”

“They pack food.”

Scar explained.

The fancy is to eat this point, 4 copper horns can be saved.

“How many days can you do?”

Joji asked.

“About twenty days.”
