Time Traveling Routine Movie King

The ship docked in Luzhou, and Luzhou arranged for the manpower that Jia Shiqing had arranged for before.

Luzhou is Bao Zheng's hometown, but the time and space are disordered, so it's hard to say whether there will be such a character.

The intersection of Huaibei and Jiangnan is also an important gateway to Bianjing.

The Tonghe Inn, which lives in the city, is located within the scope of the city's business district and belongs to the core area of ​​the city.

However, local cities cannot be compared with Bianjing. Tokyo’s night market has endured for a long time because it has a permanent population of 100 million and countless floating population.

In Luzhou City, there is no night market at night. There is only a flower street that is a bit more lively, but it is not as big as a place.

At this time, the state capital had a medium-sized population of [-] and a large population of [-].

In the past, among the four capitals of the Northern Song Dynasty, Luoyang and Yingtian were densely populated areas.

In the evening, I ordered a table of meals at Tianfu Building opposite the inn. Because I wanted to hear about the customs here, I didn't ask for a private room, but a window seat partitioned by a screen.

"Third brother, is there any good place to go shopping in Luzhou?" He packed up his things, wiped himself off because of the hot weather, and took a fan to find Xu Jin.

Xu Jin was wearing his underwear, fanning himself with a fan, when asked by Shen Bai impatiently, "I don't know, I've never been here before."

"Third brother, aren't you from Luzhou? What's wrong? The rumors are wrong?" Shen Bai teased him.

"It's true that I'm from Luzhou, but I'm a half-baked Luzhou person. My natal family is from Luzhou, and I'm not familiar with it at all." Xu Jin said lazily leaning on the chair with his legs crossed.

"Returning to her natal family, it looks like a married lady." Jia Shiqing heard his words as soon as he came in, and couldn't help scolding.

"Brother just came back, it's not dark yet, how are things going to Zhuangzi tomorrow?" Xu Jin looked at him and asked.

"We've made contact, and it's not someone else's land, it's the land of the He family's second bedroom. Zhuangzi has more than 4000 mu of paddy fields, but the other party will not sell until the grain is harvested."

"How much is the price?" Shen Bai asked.

"Seven taels."

"That's more expensive than what we saw in Shouzhou." Xu Jin asked.

"Shouzhou is still in the north, and the paddy field is not as productive as here, so the price is naturally different. In the past, it cost at least ten taels and one mu!" Jia Shiqing explained.

"Is there any preferential treatment?" Shen Bai knew Jia Shiqing's unprofitable and early business personality, so he asked.

"One hundred acres of dry land, there are still five mountains, one of which is He Jiazu's tomb mountain, which cannot be moved or moved, and the others are fine, so we have to have the surrounding four."

"There are mountains, that's not bad, but the He family in the south of the Yangtze River is also strange, how could they sell so thoroughly at once?" Shen Bai asked puzzled.

"This is just where Erfang settled. Their ancestral home is Jinling. Erfang's family migrated and planned to go to Qiongzhou for development. It seems that the imperial court has suppressed some prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River quite severely."

"Oh? Is the He family mainly a salt merchant?"

"Yes, salt merchants have struggled to survive in recent years. The salt quotations issued by the Salt and Iron Transit Department to salt merchants in various provinces can be described as harsh, and the salt tax ratio is also very heavy. The four major salt merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, Jinling He The family, the Yue family in Yangzhou, the Hang family in Suzhou, and the Song family in Fuzhou, are all powerful as a whole, and they competed very fiercely with the imperial court in private." Jia Shiqing also collected the situation of Jiangnan in detail in the Daming Mansion. Now, let Shen Bai Easier to grasp.

"With the emperor's character, I'm afraid he won't be restrained like this. The four families must have their own strengths!"

"That's right. On the surface, the He family is a combination of government and business, but the third house of the He family is not an ordinary person. Pirates are rampant along the southeast coast of Luzhou, but shipping is the lifeblood of the country.

Fuzhou's tea class and salt class are all transported to Yangzhou by sea, and then transferred from Yangzhou to Bianjing.

Taxes in the south accounted for more than half of the world, and the salt tax in the south was even more terrifying, half of the regular tax. If there was anything wrong with the ship-related matters in the south, the country would be shaken. "

Shen Bai rubbed his beardless chin: "This He Yuantong's hands and eyes are open to the sky, and he knows both black and white."

"That's right, the He family has accumulated a lot of business for several generations, and they have a lot of financial resources. In addition, this generation has He Yuantong, which is even more powerful. He Guangtong, the weaving officer in the south of the Yangtze River, is his elder brother. It can be said that the court and He Yuan There is such a fat errand in hand because of the contact person between communication.

Today, He Yuantong was asked to go to Beijing for a pilgrimage, but He Yuantong was attacked by pirates when he arrived in Fujian, and was seriously injured. In the end, nothing happened. Do you think he was seriously injured? "

"I'm afraid not." Xu Jin quickly replied.

Jia Shiqing shook his head: "It's really hurt. Fujian pirate king Zhang Liuqi led a fleet to ambush He Yuantong, and the imperial court also sent an imperial doctor. In the end, the He family's fleet and the Fuzhou navy teamed up to destroy Zhang Liuqi and captured him." The gold and silver are loaded into three ships!"

"Borrowing a knife to kill someone." Shen Bai smiled and gently shook the paper fan in his hand.

"However, he can be so hidden as a ninja, this person should not be underestimated." He added, in exchange for Jia Shiqing's nod.

"The prefects and chief soldiers stationed in Qiongzhou by the imperial court are all personally selected by the emperor's cabinet. I heard that they want to form a Qiongzhou navy, but they are still in the process of preparation due to lack of financial resources."

"Then what happened to the confrontation inspection today?" Shen Bai asked curiously.

"The salt used by the government is engraved with salt lumps, and there are special secret documents and codes. If it fails to match, it will be a death penalty. However, salt is in short supply. Who would not want to privately sell it? It is said that in the deep sea south of Qiongzhou, there are some islands It’s the He family’s salt farm.”

"What's the difference between the He family's rebellion and rebellion? It's just a matter of time. Will the court really tolerate it?" Xu Jin asked in surprise.

"It's just not time yet. Besides, the He family must not be a piece of iron. Right now, their armed merchant ships are just extraordinary. I'm afraid it will be unpredictable for the future." Shen Bai said with empathy, if he was Yu Wen Takuya can only endure.

"Fourth brother is right." Jia Shiqing thought about it.

"I don't know whose idea it was to move the second bedroom of the He family to the south. In short, this is a bad move. In the future, the disaster will probably start from here." Shen Bai concluded.

"Oh, let's wait and see." Jia Shiqing and Xu Jin looked at each other and said with a smile.

As night fell, the guys from the opposite Tianfulou came to invite them to go.

The second floor of Tianfu Building was brightly lit. From the tables for four in the hall downstairs to the private rooms upstairs, it was full of people. The waiter serving the dishes walked through it, and the voices of the guests were endless.

"It smells so good." Da Niu patted his stomach and said.

"You guys are eating downstairs, just open it up." Jia Shiqing arranged the seats, and they ate downstairs.

"Okay, I have to eat until I'm full." Daniel walked with a pair of whips on his back, and he walked quite mightily.

The three watched them go downstairs, then walked into the private room and sat down.

On the table, mandarin fish stewed bamboo shoot soup is bubbling in a stone pot, a large plate of more than a dozen steamed crabs is golden and bright, a delicate fried river prawn, and a hare on the charcoal stove. Two other seasonal vegetables and a plate of sweet dried fruit.

"There are too many dishes, we should let Daniel and the others eat together." Looking at the dishes on the table, Shen Bai said with emotion.

"Fourth brother is too worried. If he can't finish eating, he can send it to the guest room opposite. If Daniel is hungry at night, he can eat the same."

"Brother was joking, don't treat him like a pig." Shen Bai laughed, Xu Jin rolled up his sleeves, picked up a crab, picked out a female, picked up the vinegar dish, and started peeling the crab.

There are three sets of exquisite crab sets on the table, Jia Shiqing doesn't know how to use it, Shen Bai doesn't want to use it, and Xu Jin doesn't need to use it.

Perak Bala spoke directly, and Jia Shiqing admired: "The third brother's teeth are extraordinary, they are not so good."

The three of them ate and laughed, and the voices of the guests in the two seats next to them could be heard clearly. One table was also guests from other places like them, and the other table was local merchants, talking about local things.

Suddenly there was a commotion downstairs, and the roar of a big bull came.

"Go and see?" Jia Shiqing asked Shen Bai, who was concentrating on tearing crabs with bare hands.

"With Xiao Yan around, nothing major can happen." After throwing out a tepid sentence, Shen Bai ate leisurely.

Xu Jin was engrossed in eating the crab, as if he had a grudge against the crab, and had no time to pay attention to the two people beside him.

After a while, Xiao Yan went upstairs with Da Niu holding a big bowl, and Shun Zi with a bitter and bitter expression, followed by the two stewards of Jia's mansion, holding back a smile and following Daniu.

"Daniu broke up the two tables downstairs." Xiao Yan stepped forward and said.

Daniel was holding a celadon bowl as big as a washbasin, with an expression that had nothing to do with me.

"Tell the shopkeeper that we will pay for the table. If you haven't eaten, just sit down and eat together, and add two more dishes." Shen Bai pointed to the empty space around him and said.

"Oh." Shunzi sat down, shaking the vegetable soup on his sleeves, waiting for Xiao Er to bring the bowls and chopsticks.
