The city of Aiqi chosen by Mianli is located in a hilly area, with mountains in the near distance and only one big river leading to the outside. The terrain is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

This is a hilly area, unlike the plains outside, such a terrain is not suitable for growing rice at all!There are many mountain people in the surrounding mountains and forests. They make a living by fishing and hunting, and occasionally attack Dayue caravans for profit.Therefore, for the long-term development of Aiqi City, Mianli reclaimed terraced fields in this area, asked the peasants who immigrated with him to build terraced fields, and then built a series of dams at the junction of each terraced field to conserve water, so that Mianli The improved rice seedlings can be planted in a large area, together with the small fish fry taken from the river, and fish farming, the harvest in Aiqi City is [-]% higher than that in the plains during the autumn harvest. Except for the three-year tax exemption on newly reclaimed farmland, the soldiers and civilians who followed Mianli made a lot of money from agricultural income alone.

On the third day of the seventh month of the third year of Emperor Hanli of Dayue, it was clear and cloudless

The city gate as high as three feet high is covered with bright red silk and satin. The three big characters of Ai Qi City are engraved on the top of the city. The handwriting is beautiful and domineering.

At noon, a loud cannon rang out, and Mianli reached out to lift the bright red silk and satin. From this moment, Aiqi City, which dominates the southern gate of Dayue Kingdom, came into being spontaneously. There were tears in his eyes.

Aiqicheng is the same pronunciation as my beloved wife Cheng. Buqi once asked why it was called Aiqicheng. Mianli said: "I hope we have all the rare goods in the world. The rare goods can be lived in and sold with sincerity. Aiqicheng will become a bustling city. A place of commerce. Another you and I have been married for more than two years, I hope to give you a promise, Aiqi City, cherish my wife and never leave her!"

Therefore, the happiest thing about the completion of Aiqi City is not the residents who are about to become Aiqi City, but the wife of the city owner, Buqi, who is the happiest. ,Do you have?"

Xiao Baozi gritted his teeth as he looked at the cotton clothed in red silk and satin, his small eyes narrowed into slits.

Foaming in the mouth: "Mother, mother..."

Buqi was pleasantly surprised when she heard the little bun's cry. Under the double surprise, Buqi couldn't help holding the little bun and walked to Mianli. with.

Mianli hugged Buqi from Buqi's arms in surprise, held it high in surprise, and shouted to thousands of residents: "My son will be called mother today!"

Mian Chengju and the others listened to Xiao Baozi's clear accent and saw a face similar to Mianli's. The soldiers of the Beast Rejection Camp approaching began to cheer: "Young Lord is safe and healthy! I wish you successors."

Immediately afterwards, the residents also shouted. Only those mountain people who were captured and labored had bitterness on their faces. This Nancheng Duke is already so powerful. Her sons are so smart that they will not be a blessing to the natives. .

No matter what the indigenous mountain people think, the establishment of Aiqi City has inevitably succeeded!The cloth dyeing workshop of the Mian family was established near the big river to the east of Aiqi City, and a large field was specially reclaimed in the mountain forest to grow vegetable dyes in the mountain.There are many mountains in South China, rich in minerals, and there are countless mineral dyes that will not fade.As a mobile encyclopedia, Mianli filled the cloth dyeing workshop with new recipes in Mianli’s spare time, one in Mianjia’s six rooms, and new types of colorful brocade and forging emerged in endlessly, gradually squeezing the southern market. As for the dyed cloth in the north, it is seldom sold to the south.

On this day, just after dawn, hundreds of small boats were moored at the small pier of Mianjia Dyeingfang in Aiqi City.The second housekeeper, Xiaolu, with twenty or so cashiers, sat in a row behind the table and issued the invoices.I saw businessmen coming and going with all kinds of skin colors, but they lined up in an orderly manner, and they dared not make mistakes.At the beginning, a Hu merchant in Fanbang wanted to jump in the queue because he wanted a large quantity of goods, but was beaten out by the soldiers of the Southern Insects, and was directly painted and hung on the notice boards around the city wall of Aiqi, stating that it was forbidden Trading merchant, this Hu merchant never got supplies from Aiqi City again.This kind of lesson happens from time to time, and gradually businessmen also know the rules, and now no matter the big businessmen or small businessmen, they all obey the rules quietly.

Now the dyed cloth of Nanchong Dyeing Cloth Workshop is hard to find. With the pre-sale brand, you have to live in Aiqi City for ten days and a half months. This is still a minority. If you want gold silk brocade , then two or three months wait, there are also some.

Xu Fei is from Xiangyang City in the middle of the country, and his family is considered well-off. He once heard that someone made a fortune through Aiqi City and his party. He sold his family property and came here just to get the Nanchong Caijin, which is in short supply in the northern capital. He waited hard for three years. In November, he finally took the pre-sale sign and harvested two colorful brocades of southern insects. After handing over the silver ticket, he hugged the brocade like a rare treasure. The two colorful brocades cost him a total of 5000 taels. Baiyin, there is still such a long time, but it is worth it, as long as he sells this colorful brocade to the capital, ten thousand taels of silver will be at his fingertips, Xu Fei feels that his hands and feet are not enough.

He ran to the cold drink shop in Aiqi City and sat down, saying that this is also a feature of Aiqi City, there are many ice drinks here, just suitable for the southern insects where the four seasons are like early summer.The merchants who come and go are waiting for the special products of Southern Insects, and exchange information here.

Xu Fei tremblingly said to the bartender, "Second brother, bring me a watermelon juice, it should be cold, with big pieces of ice."

The bartender nodded, looking at Xu Fei's flushed face, he knew that this person from the north had obtained the treasure of Aiqi City, and he rarely persuaded him, "Why don't you have a glass of iced fruit wine to cool off the heat?"

Xu Fei shook his head, raised the things in his hand, and said happily: "I'm carrying a heavy load, I don't dare to drink, hurry up, little brother, watermelon juice is good, little brother is good, give me a piece of ice It is also grateful to chew and use."

The bartender listened to Xu Fei's words and pointed at him: "It's a trick to beg for things, but you're celebrating today, so I'll give you a piece of ice." The bartender carefully took out a piece of ice one centimeter square from the freezer covered by the quilt. I put the ice cubes in a small plate and passed them to Xu Fei.

The bartender wiped the table in front of Xu Fei, picked up the small plate and put it down again, and then let Xu Fei take over. Xu Fei rubbed his hands: "Thank you, little brother. I will pay back in the future, and I will thank you again."

After speaking, Xu Fei, whose face turned red, picked up an ice cube and put it in his mouth. The slightly sweet taste was very refreshing, and the steam that he had raised before was gradually melting due to the ice, and his face was no longer so red.

At this moment, a wine jug hit Xu Fei in front of him. Xu Fei, who was enjoying with his eyes closed, opened his eyes in shock, only to see a dark-complexioned Hei Fan, showing his big teeth to him.

"My lord, please! Mere fruit wine is not a respect." The black fan put another empty glass in front of Xu Fei, then picked up the jug and poured it into the glass.

Because the red wine soup was chilled, white mist came out of it.

Xu Fei looked at the drink pushed in front of his eyes, a little dazed.

"You don't get paid for nothing, I don't know this brother, do you need help with any problems?" Xu Fei didn't dare to drink, he clasped his fists and asked Heifan.

Hei Fan smiled a little embarrassedly, but Xu Fei could see that he was blushing through his dark face.

"Brother, um, I have been doing business in Dayue Kingdom for a long time, but this is the first time I have come to Nanchong. The journey is far away, and it takes several months to go back and forth. I don't know..." Hei Fan rubbed his hands in embarrassment .

After all, Xu Fei was not a professional businessman, so he was still a little dull. At this moment, the bartender came over and watched the two laughing for a while, and the people around him also looked at him kindly.

Xu Fei smiled: "This brother said it directly, I didn't understand."

Hei Fan continued: "It's that brother, can you cut that..."

Xu Fei: "Cutting love??"

Only then did Heifan nod his head, Dayueguo's words were too awkward.

Xu Fei was at a loss: "I'm sorry, I'm going to take it back and sell it."

Hei Fan hurriedly shook his head: "It doesn't mean the original price, look at that brother, can you see what this is?"

Xu Fei nodded. The law and order in Aiqi City is very good. Stealing is directly punishable by death. No one dares to act wild here. The local ruffians are all cleaned up by the Miangong government. After leaving the mining area, it can be said that Aiqi City does not pick up lost items on the road, and does not close its doors at night.

Xu Fei carefully opened the package, only to see the Nanchong colorful brocade wrapped in gold silk radiating a soft color under the sunlight.Hei Fan exclaimed directly: "God! This is a masterpiece of God, brother, 3 taels, can you give it to me, okay?"

Xu Fei originally wanted to wrap it up right away, but when he heard Heifan's bid, a golden light began to glow in front of his eyes: "How much?"

Xu Fei had a look of disbelief, thinking that he had heard it wrong.

There was a man from the north yelling, "I want to take 3 taels, it's too cheap, 4 taels, little brother, 4 taels, how about it?"

Xu Fei couldn't turn his head anymore. Seeing the Man Fan and Hei Fan in the north calling up the price, he wondered if he was dreaming. Only then did he realize that he was naive, why come to Aiqi City and go to the north to change hands to make a fortune, obviously you are in Aiqi City, you may get rich.

The 6 taels of silver bills he just got, he directly booked a brocade brocade for two years at Mianjia Dyeingfang. Enter the small yard.

Is the house expensive?

Expensive, but compared to the development of Ai Qi City that Xu Fei saw, he felt that everything was worth it.

In this way, Xu Fei, as the first generation of gold diggers in Aiqi City, settled down in Aiqi City and became the first generation of brokers and merchants doing business with foreign businessmen.

The author has something to say: Dear little angels, after thinking about it, I decided to finish the Mianjia Cloth Dyeing Workshop tomorrow.I won’t write overseas chapters.

In serialization, there are various deficiencies, thank you little angels who have been supporting this article!Thank you for your perseverance!

I have always wanted to improve my writing a little bit every day and give you some pleasant impressions, but the original intention is still there, but the article gradually deviates from my main line, and I feel very ashamed.

I don’t know, the little angels looked at the name of the protagonist. In fact, I wanted to write a love that will never leave, but as soon as I wrote it, I was surrounded by etiquette, loyalty, filial piety and righteousness. It made me very painful to write. Maybe there are some places You also find it a bit difficult to understand, but I followed the characters in the book.

The original intention remains the same, I try new articles, I just want to let the little angels who read my articles have a little leisure, a little joy, and a little nostalgia.
