(I wrote a chapter on the high-speed train, and then I went to the hotel at night. The 8th one was done, but the 9th one really didn't know. A brother said that the teacher said it above and I wrote it below, so I would never dare to do so. Now I am obsessed with discipline and don't tell you in person, take a photo and send it back to your unit, and then you are waiting to be punished. Where can we have leaders who suffer this loss because of sleeping while studying. I am a soldier, so I should study honestly and seriously.)

Chang'an market is divided into West City and East City. East City mainly serves high-ranking officials, while West City is completely popular and popular. West City, which covers an area of ​​more than 1,600 acres, was the largest market in the world at that time. There were more than 40,000 fixed shops and more than 200 industries. As the saying goes, only you would never imagine, there is nothing you can't buy here. Not only domestic goods are sold here, but a large amount of Western Regions, but also Japanese goods are also sold here. More than ten years ago, Chang'an was robbed and West City was greatly damaged, but time is the best healing medicine. Now West City has once again returned to its previous prosperous scene.

Walking on the streets of Xishi, Li Ze knew that this was the return of the largest commercial center in the city. If it continued to develop like this, Chang'an would inevitably be unable to survive another war. The subsequent southward movement of the economic center has made it never the prosperous years of the past.

Chen Changping and Li Mi were like a curious baby. As soon as they entered the West City, their eyes were dazzled. Wuyi was a very lush area under Li Ze's management, but Wuyi has only more than one hundred shops so far. Zhending City, the capital of Chengde, has only more than 200,000 shops, but there are more than so many shops here.

After the newly established General's Mansion was settled, Li Ze took Chen Changping and Li Mi to visit the western market the next day. He did not want to buy things, but in such a market, it was the easiest way to see the economic truth in the place. However, before he came out, he followed a little tail, Liu Ruyan dressed in a green hat, dressed as a man, and followed Li Ze unswervingly.

There was no choice but to bring him.

Even a lady like Liu Ruyan has long been very surprised. Although she has been a beautiful girl since she was a child, she has no worries about food and clothing and expenses, she is still a small place after all. She has never seen such a large market and such a dazzling array of goods. Only Li Ze is not surprised and not surprising.

"What a beautiful jewelry!" Li Ze, who was walking in front, heard the sighing sound coming from behind. In a blink of an eye, he saw Liu Ruyan walking straight into a jewelry shop on the street. The waiter at the door had a very poisonous look. Even though Liu Ruyan was wearing a man's clothing, he could see it at a glance. Seeing Liu Ruyan walking inside, he immediately came forward with diligently.

"This little lady, please come in quickly. Our Rongbaotang is the largest jewelry store in the West City. Look at this style and texture. In the West City, you will definitely not find a second one. If you are not satisfied with the existing style, you can tell the style or take out the patterns. Our store has masters with superb skills to customize it on site immediately."

Liu Ruyan had already been blinded and nodded repeatedly when she heard this.

Li Ze, who followed Liu Ruyan in, was a little amused and cried. He grabbed Liu Ruyan and whispered: "The West City is full of road goods. Although it looks good, its quality is far inferior to that of East City. If you want jewelry, I will take you to the best store in East City to order. If you buy it here, your uncle and aunt will inevitably blame me for fooling you."

Although Li Ze's voice was low, the waiter's ears were even sharper, and he immediately pulled his face, "Don't talk nonsense, I dare not say that the things in Dongshi are not good, but the things in our store are absolutely not bad. You can't buy them, but you must not ruin the reputation of our store."

When Li Mi heard the waiter scolding Li Ze, Li Mi immediately turned black and was about to have an attack. Li Ze waved his hand and said with a smile: "My second brother is right, I am reckless." While apologizing, he dragged Liu Ruyan to leave.

Unexpectedly, Liu Ruyan shook her hand and got rid of Li Ze and said, "I like the style here. I don't care about anything in the West City. My second brother, take these things for me."

The waiter's face changed very quickly, and he looked at Li Ze with a tiger face. In a blink of an eye, he looked at Liu Ruyan with a smile. He quickly picked up more than a dozen jewelry and filled a wooden plate.

Li Ze saw that these styles were indeed exquisite, but the quality of these things was so sloppy. But seeing Liu Ruyan's love for her could only give up.

As long as she is happy, he will be fine, and he will not be short of money. He is afraid that Liu Ruyan will make a fool of himself when he brings these things to the gatherings of those noble ladies in the future. It makes people laugh at Liu Ruyan as a girl from the countryside after all, and she will not be able to recognize the goods.

But it doesn't matter. With their strength and status, even if they laugh, they only dare to laugh behind their backs. They must have no courage to laugh at Liu Ruyan in person. After Liu Ruyan stays in Chang'an for a long time and his vision grows, he will naturally not wear these things again. It is also great to use them as rewards to others.

After figuring out this section, Li Ze also stood beside Liu Ruyan with a smile, watching some jewelry she had selected.

"I want it all!" Liu Ruyan turned her head, looked at Li Ze, and said with a smirk.

"Buy, buy, buy!" Li Ze waved his hand and signaled Li Mi to pay.

The second brother was happy from the sky. Seeing that these people's clothes were quite luxurious, they thought it would be good to pick one or two, but unexpectedly, the young lady asked for everything as soon as she opened her mouth. There were two sets of hair on the plate! It seemed that the young man said that he had taken the young lady to Dongshi to pick jewelry, which was really not a bragging thing.

Today's wealth is shining brightly. This is probably because the noble ladies in Chang'an City were so tired of visiting the East City, so they came to the West City to have fun.

"Chenghui 108 taels!" The waiter's voice trembled a little. With just this transaction, his commission was worthy of his usual monthly income.

Li Mi reached out and took out a handful of golden seeds from his arms, took more than a dozen pieces and threw them to the waiter, "Is it enough?"

They naturally cannot bring strings of copper coins when they go out, but silver ingots and gold ingots cannot be circulated on the market. However, these golden melon seeds and other things can be used as money for exchange.

After taking a small scale, the waiter weighed the golden seeds and said with a smile: "Enough is enough, I have to find some!"

"No need!" Li Ze waved his hand and said, "I'll reward you."

"Thank you, little husband." The waiter smiled so hard that he could not close his mouth. He had never seen such a good customer. The one who came to buy jewelry in Suxi City was not a petty person? And the business in front of him was doing so well. After returning home today, he must pay a good greeting to the God of Wealth.

"I will use one set myself, and you will take it back and give it to Xia He, and you will say it was given to her by me." Liu Ruyan smiled and said, "You must say it was given to her by me."

"Okay, okay, I'll say it!" Li Ze smiled and dragged Liu Ruyan out. He really didn't expect that Liu Ruyan was still thinking about Xia He at this time. It seemed that the two of them got along very happily when they were in Wuyi.

Several people left the jewelry shop amid the waiter's greetings. They walked not far away, but saw a large group of people standing there and cheering, clapping their hands and cheering. The couple were also happy. Besides, they came out today and just looked at the various aspects of the Western Market, and they also came over. But there was a high platform in front of the wine shop. On the platform, a blond woman was dancing enthusiastically and unrestrainedly, her body was spinning like a windmill, making people dizzy.

Now it was not only Liu Ruyan, Li Mi, Chen Changping, but also Li Ze was attracted. After all, this was the first time he saw a blonde and blue-eyed foreign woman after he came to this world.

"She looks so ugly!" This was Liu Ruyan's first sigh.

Before Li Ze could speak, she continued: "Her dance is so good. If I turn like this a few times, I'm afraid I'll faint."

"I'm really not shy!" This is Li Mi's speech, because the woman on the wooden platform was wearing too little, not saying that her breasts were exposed outside, and her two white and clean long legs were also dancing with her. After the threads of silk threads were rotated, they were clearly visible. There were several metal bracelets on both arms, and as the arms danced, they made a crisp sound of impact.

After the dance, the copper coins were spilled like raindrops before the woman could speak.

"One more!" someone shouted in the audience.

But Li Ze knew very well that he should start selling alcohol next, but judging from the speed of spending money, it should be said that dancing is more profitable than selling alcohol.

He signaled Li Mi to throw some copper coins on it. After all, after watching someone's performance, he still had to give the money. Li Ze still had this kind of integrity.

After sprinkling a handful of copper coins, Li Ze led the three of them to continue moving forward.

Li Ze finally saw his main goal for coming to Xishi today, the grain shop.

He wanted to know the current grain price in Chang'an.

"A hundred coins per dou."

"Fifty coins per dou of wheat."

"Twenty coins per dou of millet!"

With the boss's offer, not only did Li Ze's face change slightly, but Chen Changping and Li Mi on the other hand also changed their expressions. The price was too high. You should know that Wuyi has always implemented unified purchase and sales of grain, and has been trading at a loss for the past two years. The only purpose is to use flat grain to maintain the stability of local grain prices. Moreover, the northern land is still a place of war! But even so, the grain they bought at high prices was only seventy or eighty cents per dou, and when they were sold inward, it was only fifty cents per dou, wheat was only twenty cents per dou, and millet was only seven or eight cents per dou. The price of grain in Chang'an has more than doubled. You should know that relying on the trough transportation in Luoyang, Chang'an is connected to the main grain-producing areas in Jiangnan.

During the peaceful season, the price of grain is so high. Once wars occur, the price of grain will roll upwards. The riot more than ten years ago made the rice price in Chang'an reach a record high of thousands of people. The chaotic army can quickly conquer Chang'an, which is closely related to the people in Chang'an City being unable to live.

Among them, only Liu Ruyan doesn’t understand. Chen Changping and Li Mi have both been hungry and are very sensitive to the price of food.

The three of them looked at each other, and at the same time they shook their heads.
Chapter completed!
