Good Life in Qin Dynasty

Because someone was drunk and refused to pay, the proprietress searched her body when she went up, and if the money was found to pay for the wine, she threw the person outside!

Bravo!

What Li Jiyang wanted was white cut meat dipped in sauce, and a plate cost ten cloth coins, which most people couldn't afford, but Li Jiyang wanted ten plates at one go, and there were more than ten people!

The boss also gave two more dishes of dried vegetables, the ones that have been blanched with water, can also be eaten directly with sauce.

Because they were frightened, Li Jiyang asked them to drink some wine: "Suppression, what is this place? This is Xianyang City, anyone who dares to act recklessly here has not yet been born!"

As the capital of the Qin Dynasty, in the era of strict Qin laws, who would dare to seek trouble?Didn't that Young Master Wang dare to do anything?

What Li Jiyang relies on is that this is Xianyang City.

A lot of people were drinking over there, and there were soldiers in simple clothes, probably coming to drink after work.

After eating and drinking, everyone's mood stabilized a bit. Li Jiyang paid for the drinks and took them back to the inn leisurely.

They got into trouble when they went out today, and after they got back, they didn't know what Li Fu told them, anyway, everyone was more cautious the next day.

This time it was Li Sen and Li Lin who stayed at home. Li Jiyang led the people out again, and Li Fu led everyone forward.

"Where are you taking us?" Li Jiyang saw that Li Fu seemed to be leading the way purposefully, and followed him for a while.

"Master, I came back yesterday and asked someone for directions. Let's go forward here, and we will enter the place where the high officials live. The things in that place are good, and the ones on our side are all ordinary goods!" Li Fu said yesterday. In the evening, I used a bowl of stewed mutton that I had saved, and exchanged information with the waiter.

The waiter is a person who has lived in Xianyang City all year round, so of course he knows more details than them.

No, Li Fu took the young master to go inside early in the morning. I heard that if you want to buy good things, you have to go there to buy them.

After Li Jiyang heard about it, he knew that Li Fu was capable and considerate.

The group of them went directly to the intersection of the most prosperous street. Sure enough, there was a lot of people, and everyone had a status. You could tell what they said and did. They were either maidservants or Chang Sui. Guys, this is what a big family should do.

There are not only people on the road, but also all kinds of cars.

Of course, the animals pulling the carts sometimes poop, but as long as there are dirty things, someone will rush out to clean them up, trying to keep the dirty things in the shortest possible time!

But the smell still lingered, which made Li Jiyang, who had a bright nose, a little uncomfortable.

But after they walked in for a while, the smell was gone, because away from the intersection, everyone was walking and shopping on the road, no one was driving, but the ground was clean and there were many shops.

And here it is indeed as Li Fu said, the things are all good things, and the products he saw in the store are also very exquisite. Li Jiyang bought some spices and some cloth as usual, fearing that people would not be able to carry them, so he didn’t buy the rest. When the man went back, he also bought a sheep and vegetables.

The next day Li Jiyang went there again, because he was out and about every day, the people brought by the family were not so restrained, and Li Jiyang spent money like water, although everyone didn't know how much money they brought out, but The young master spent money to buy things for his family, from seasonings and spices to cloth.

There are also some jewelry, which are not expensive, but made of fragrant wood and silver. In short, they are all suitable for the family to bring. In addition, I bought a lot of salt.

And some bottles and cans, dishes and so on.

It's just that Li Jiyang has been shopping for so long and has some experience. The distinction between classes makes people's lives different. Lijiazhuang is good, but there are many places that are worse than Lijiazhuang.

Moreover, it is impossible for people outside to sell things in, because when they passed by, they found some checkpoints, and there were people guarding them. Can't get in!

Li Jiyang went shopping until the seventh day, and bought too many things, so Li Fu discussed with him: "Master, there are too many things, should you bring some back first?"

"Alright, let the family bring some ox carts over." Li Jiyang had a lot of things he wanted to buy, but he didn't have any ox carts to transport them.

"No!" Li Fu took the people back, Li Jiyang didn't go out, stayed in the yard for a day, entered the system transaction at night, and he also looked at the things in the space.

Three days later, Li Fu brought back eight ox carts, and Li Jiyang bought another batch of cloth for them to transport back.

When Li Fu and the others came back, Li Jiyang paid another rent. This time, he brought Li Ping, Li An, and Chunya with him when he went out.

This time I went to a large jewelry store.

This shop was bigger than all the shops they had visited, and it contained a lot of things. Pearls that were not sold outside were sold here, but the price was much higher.

Because the state of Qin does not rely on the sea, pearls are bought and sold from other countries, so the price is of course expensive.

Moreover, in this era of the Warring States period, it was not so easy to find pearls in the sea. There were no oxygen cylinders, no artificial breeding, and all pearls were naturally grown. Of course, it was not easy to get them.

That's why some people who grew up by the sea practice holding their breath diligently in order to go deep into the sea to catch pearls and sell them for a high price.

King Qin Zhao listed pearls and jade as the top "treasures of utensils and ornaments".

It can be seen how precious pearls are in this era.

It's a pity that not every clam shell has pearls, and not every pearl is round, and even rarer are average-sized pearls.

And in Li Jiyang's space, there are more than ten boxes of pearls piled up, each of which is full of jewels!

But these are all pearls from the Warring States period!

Although it doesn't look very good, of course good pearls are in the country of origin. At this time, the largest country producing pearls is Chu State, followed by Qi State, and then Yan State.

These three companies all have borders facing the sea, especially Chu State, which has the longest coastline and produces the most pearls.

The shops here sell and buy pearls. An ordinary pearl costs fifty cloth coins, and a larger and slightly rounder pearl can cost hundreds of cloth coins. A necklace of large and small pearls is actually asking for hardware. !

Li Jiyang was a little dazed at the time. In his space, there were necklaces made of pearls, the ones as big as pearls. There were more than ten necklaces, which he planned to give to Zhao Ji!

"It's so expensive!" Chunya exclaimed, it was the first time she had heard of such a thing as "pearl", and it really could be expensive.

Didn't you see the young master didn't buy it!

In fact, her young master has too many of these things, so it's not rare!

"This kind of thing comes from the sea more, but less from fresh water, and..." Li Jiyang told her that pearls are hard to come by.

After hearing this, everyone felt that this thing was not expensive. People on dry land could not understand the hard work of people who went deep into the sea and touched the bottom of the sea. They all felt incredible!

What if you drowned?

"Pearls are good. It's really lucky for those people to succeed in fetching pearls." A young master stretched out his hand to touch the pearls with an arrogant expression. He looked down on the pearl fetcher but liked pearls.

Li Jiyang took a look, isn't this the young master Wang he met that day?

"There are no pearl collectors, and pearls are just stones buried in the water." Li Jiyang pushed back. Although he knew that there were distinct classes in this era, the pearl collectors were indeed ordinary people without surnames. They even wanted to get good pearls. Criminals, prisoners or captive slaves will be used to obtain pearls, because the danger of obtaining pearls is very high. Sometimes, countless people will be buried in seas and rivers for a single pearl.

"Hmph! For those lowly people, being able to touch pearls is a supreme honor!" But Young Master Wang didn't think so. He was high above him since he was born, and he never suffered any pain. He was proud and noble all over.

"Without those who search for pearls, where would pearls come from?" Li Jiyang felt that the working people were the most honorable.

"I think what this young master said is very reasonable." A young master in brocade clothes next to him clasped his fist at Li Jiyang, which meant that he agreed with Li Jiyang's words.

"That's not necessarily true. Pearls can be regarded as the top treasure of jewelry. How can people touch them at will?" Some people like Li Jiyang's argument, and some people are like Young Master Wang. Class planning in their hearts is too deep, so they naturally look down on it. Existence lower than them, not to mention those criminals, prisoners or captive slaves?They don't even look down on commoners who are pearl divers!

This jewelry store is very big, and there are many people who come here, and they all have identities. When the shopkeeper saw that they were talking louder and louder, he didn't come to stop them, as if he hadn't seen it.

This made Li Jiyang frown. How could he gain a foothold in Xianyang City after doing business like this?

Even if the shopkeeper doesn't wink, does the boss still use such a person to look after the store?If it were him, he would have replaced him long ago!

The more these people talked, the louder they were, and it seemed that they were about to quarrel. It was Young Master Wang who spoke, but he was targeting Li Jiyang: "Where are you from? What are you doing in Xianyang City? How do you talk to those scumbags?"

Although he really wanted to smash the store, he couldn't involve too many people.

In his opinion, he can't afford to offend others, and he can't offend them, but the strange boy in front of him can still clean up. If it weren't for him, he wouldn't be choking with others today.

After he said this, everyone remembered that this young boy who had not yet grown up had a face that was unfamiliar to them. Although Xianyang City was big, the young masters of each family knew each other, even if they didn't know each other, follow along Their regular followers will also know the faces of the young masters of each family.

This is to prevent any unpleasant things from happening without knowing each other, and it is not uncommon for the trouble to end in the end.

It is true that the Qin people are martial, but these young masters who are martial have nowhere to use their strength. Once a fight starts, it will be to the death!

"Without farmers farming and weaving, what do you eat? What do you drink? There are no lowly pearl fishers going into the sea to fetch pearls. Where did the pearls come from? Without the efforts of the miners, where did the gold come from?" Li Jiyang curled his lips: "If you have the ability, don't Do you eat, drink, or wear clothes? Think you are noble, and go make sacrificial items for your ancestors yourself?"

I can't kill you!

"You!" Young Master Wang's complexion became particularly ugly, Li Jiyang's words were too choking.

"Whose family do you belong to?" The young master who came with him pointed at Li Jiyang, and must ask him what he does.

"Me? From the Li family, what's the matter?" Li Jiyang raised his neck: "Whose family do you belong to?"

"From the Li family?" Everyone looked at each other, Li family?Which Li family?After Qin's famous family, it seems that there is no surname Li?The minister has the surname Li, but his official position is not high, and he has never heard of such a young master in his family?

Li Jiyang looked at them, and felt awkward in his heart. Isn't this the time when Qin Shihuang didn't know Li Si's name?

But now it is true that no one in the old Li family is in Qin.

These young masters ran the word "Li Family" in their heads for a while, but they didn't find anything useful. Those young masters who opposed Li Jiyang's statement immediately regained their spirits.

A family of nothing, at most a small landlord!

Just when he was about to say something, another group of people came in from outside. The young master at the head looked younger than Li Jiyang, with the same ponytail as Li Jiyang, and he must be less than ten years old.

Young Master Wang laughed immediately when he saw the person coming, and walked up quickly: "Young Master, why are you here?"

"I want to buy some better jewelry for my mother. I heard that this is the store of Lu Buwei and Lu Xiangbang's family. Come and see what good products are available." The young master called "Mr. With one glance, go straight in.
