Fang Zhai more than ten acres [system]

Before the son arrived, Yu Rong went out to meet the elder's nephew at the agreed place, followed his advice and let him lead the way, and decided to enter the city by water.

After leaving the village, cross the official road, and walk north for nearly two quarters of an hour, there is a ferry.

There are several boats moored at the ferry, which are several times larger than the wooden boats used by farmers.

Yu Rong took a fancy to a black-covered boat.With his eloquence, the nephew of the old village chief negotiated a one-day boat rental with the boat boss at a very favorable price.

——From Qinglian to Yanzhou, and even to further cities, boats are the preferred means of transportation for local people.Compared with the ox cart, the speed of the boat that uses human paddles is slower, but because the waterway goes directly to Yanzhou Wharf, the land road detours, and the final time spent is basically the same.

Set sail, set off.

Xin'an Prefecture is densely covered with water systems, and several prosperous cities are built on the banks of rivers, so water transportation is particularly important.

Yanzhou is a typical example.The most important reason why it is the only place to go from west, south and north to Cangping, the capital city, and then become a transportation hub connecting north, south and east to west is the existence of Dinggu River.

The Dinggu River bypasses half of Yanzhou City, originates from the northwest, flows southeast, enters the mouth of the Cangping River, and finally merges into the main stream of Ganjiang, the largest inland river in the Min Kingdom... Merchants from all over the world pass here for a rest After that, follow the waterway of Dinggu River to the capital.

Over time, Yanzhou has changed from a small island where only water geese landed at the beginning, to a lively town, and then to a city. Because of its prosperity and its proximity to the capital, the word " Little Yanjing".

The river from Qinglian to Yanzhou is one of the tributaries of Dinggu River.It is named after the location directly, and it is called "Nanhe".

The scenery on both sides of the Nanhe River is beautiful, and the scenery in the four seasons is different, all of which are impressive.

But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, it is difficult to appreciate it in the middle of the night.

The surface of the water is windy at night, with a sense of awe.

Yu Rong stood at the bow of the boat, his thin clothes were somewhat unable to keep warm, the wind was blowing head-on, making him shiver unconsciously.

"Go in and sit inside, Doctor Yu, the water is very cold at night, so don't freeze." The old village chief's nephew greeted him eagerly, and lifted the curtain of the awning.

Yu Rong didn't refuse his kindness, thanked him, stepped into the cabin first, and turned his head to look at the people who were still outside: "San Brother Lin, please come in, too?"

"Hey, come right away!"

"Brother Lin" responded, raised his head and shouted at the boatman who was paddling at the stern of the Wupeng boat: "Row faster, we want to drive away ghosts."

The "ghost market" in Yanzhou only occurs once a ten-day period, starting at the third watch and falling at the fifth watch.Even if the waterway is closer, the time is also very fast.

The boatman, who has rich experience in sailing, still agreed wholeheartedly.

He and the two sailors took turns paddling to ensure that the boat moved at full speed and would reach Yanzhou Wharf on the fourth watch.

This is what "Brother Lin" told Yu Rong.

Yu Rong didn't really care if he could make it in time. Although he was curious about the mysterious "ghost market", he didn't force it. It would be great if he could catch up and see it. If you enter the city overnight, you don’t have to worry about whether you won’t be able to make it in time—there is always a chance to see the “ghost market” once every ten days.

Thinking about it this way, Yu Rong would not interrupt "Brother Lin"'s chatting, listening to him happily talk about "Guishizi"'s knowledge, his expression was very focused, he nodded and echoed from time to time, and occasionally interspersed with some unfamiliar words question.

It really opened his eyes, and made his superficial understanding of Min's customs and customs a little deeper.

I have to say that this "Brother Lin" is not only eloquent, but also has a broad vision. He also seems to have mastered some information channels. I know more or less about all aspects of the other party. I have a very sensitive business sense, and I am quite suitable for doing business.

"Brother Lin" was very happy to know Yu Rong's thoughts, and said that his ultimate goal of working in the dental shop was to start his own business in the future.It's just that he was too young at the beginning and didn't know anything about peddling, so he entrusted his relationship with the dental trade and became an apprentice.

He is actually not very old now, he has just turned nineteen, his baby name is "Lin", and he is the third at home, so Yu Rong, who is two years younger than him, calls him "Brother Lin".

Of course, unlike modern times, the 19-year-old Lin Sange should be a man who can be the head of the family no matter in the eyes of his family or outsiders.

The same is true.Lin Sange, who is still working in the tooth shop, is no longer just an errand, but an independent board member and officially approved tooth dealer.

When it comes to Yajiao and Yaren, they are just "human teeth" who buy and sell people.In fact, the laws of Min country have abolished the trading of human beings. If anyone is found to have engaged in private trading of human beings, he will definitely be punished.

Therefore, except for some lowly people who have been convicted and demoted, powerful or rich people want to find someone to serve them, and they usually hire some manpower through dental clerks.It cannot be said that these people are servants, servants and maids are just "contract workers" - at least, this is the case in terms of express regulations, as for the private or secret situation, it is unknown.

The toothbrush is not just for connecting the two sides of the hired workers.

It is always inconvenient for a businessman to do business. At this time, the dentist appears.A toothbrush is a middleman, more figuratively speaking, it should be a buying and selling broker-this "buying and selling" covers all definable "buying and selling".

With the increasingly prosperous economy of Min country, a large number of people have devoted themselves to the dental business.The government-operated and private "tooth shops" seem to have formed a huge industrial chain.

For Yu Rong, the timing to get acquainted with Brother Lin was too coincidental.

Even if the other party is not the nephew of the old village head, as long as he meets him, he will try to get in touch with him. If his character is credible and he has certain abilities, it is very feasible to establish a stable relationship with him.

After all, he has a sub-profession "trader", even though the task requirements of the side job are not too demanding, but since he has chosen a job, and it is even related to the transaction status of the system mall, he should manage it well, so that the system will not be wasted. A powerful "golden finger".

But he is a doctor after all, regardless of whether he has the talent to do business, a person's energy is limited.The transactions in the system mall must be operated by the person himself. There is no way to do this. Fortunately, in reality, not every transaction has to be completed by the person himself.

At this time, you can consider finding a "broker".

As a doctor, the idea of ​​"businessman" is inevitably related to the pharmaceutical industry.

Due to the factors of the times, the medical households here are not subdivided into specialties like modern times.And the system has set very strict requirements for upgrading the main profession. Yu Rong, who is not a pharmacy major, is now "fully developed". Through the in-depth study of the pharmacopoeia given by the system, he has a deep understanding of pharmaceutical preparations.

Decided to "sell medicine", and put it into practice as soon as the new home was built.What makes people worry is that in this era, there is no condition to produce medicines on a large scale. Even if you use the system, you can at most set up a private workshop... After all, many things provided by the system cannot be put on the bright side.

If there is a problem, there is always a solution.

Yu Rong, who doesn't even have a nest, feels very stable in her heart, and is not in a hurry at all—things have to be done one by one, anyway, the system tasks can't run away, the days are long, so let's go step by step.

"...You must be careful when buying things in the ghost market, there are many fakes." Brother Lin San was still talking about the ghost market, "Especially the one named Cheng San'er, Doctor Xiaoyu, you have to be careful, he is a A connoisseur of fakes."

Yu Rong was puzzled: "Does the government not care?"

Lin Sange smiled: "If the government can control it, why would it be called a ghost market. Bull ghosts and snake spirits pretend to be gods and play ghosts, that's why they are called ghost markets."

"Isn't it called 'ghost market' because of 'joining in the middle of the night, and dispersing when the cock crows', elusive?"

"Does Doctor Xiaoyu know what a 'hell' is?"

In the middle of the night, the wind blew the curtains and rattled, and the lanterns used for lighting were also shaken.The light is dim, flickering, adding a ghostly atmosphere.

Yu Rong felt a chill on his back: "Could it be possible that someone is really alive?"

—He's not afraid of ghosts, really.

"Orchids turn into weeds, gold and silver turn into copper and iron, and fine silk turns into mounting paper in an instant, isn't it a hell of a life!"

Yu Rong suddenly realized that it was because she encountered a scam when she bought something.

"The ghost market is the easiest place to encounter 'hell'."

"But there are still many people who know how to cast out ghosts, right?"

Sange Lin nodded and said: "There are many good things in the ghost market, just to test your eyesight. If you have good eyesight, you may be able to 'find the leak'."

"So that's how it is..." Yu Rong understood, and asked again, "What good things are there in the ghost market?"

"It has everything."

Yu Rong had some doubts: "So powerful...then where do those good things come from?"

Brother Lin San smiled but did not answer.Yu Rong was surprised at first, and took a moment to slow down, and suddenly understood what kind of information was hidden under the meaningful expression of the other party.

——So, the source of "good things" is problematic, right?What exactly is the problem...it is self-evident.

Yu Rong was a little embarrassed: Compared with the "peers" of this era, he is really too naive.

While the two were talking, the boat sailed for more than an hour, gradually approaching the destination.

After a long distance, Yu Rong could faintly hear the commotion on the shore.

You can imagine how lively Yanzhou is.

Another big difference between the Min Dynasty and many feudal dynasties is that the curfew system was abolished.In a traffic hub city like Yanzhou, the population is highly mobile. There are some food and accommodation businesses, as well as brothels and brothels. The business is non-stop at night, and people come and go very lively. Gradually, the reputation of "the city that never sleeps" spreads.

"We're almost at the docking place," Lin Sange reminded, "Little Doctor Yu, be careful, the momentum of the boat is quite strong when it docks, don't fall."
