Economic and Trade Song Dynasty

Xu Cheng pursed his lips: "Believe it or not." As he spoke, he sped up and walked to the front to explore the way.

When the time has passed, whether to find a place to live or continue on the road depends entirely on whether there is a place to stay ahead.

Xu Cheng came back after a quarter of an hour: "There is a ruined temple in front."

Zhao Huaizhi: "Continue on your way."

It wasn't until the evening of the next day that Zhao Huaizhi saw a village and told them to go in for supplies and find a place to rest.

The village makes a living from bamboo, and almost every household relies on bamboo weaving for food, so they can see all kinds of bamboo weaving products when they walk into the village.

Gu Yue picked up a ball that fell on the hand: "So the ball is made of bamboo?"

Xu Cheng: "Some are, some are not. This is called Cuju, also called polo."

Gu Yue: "When I was in Chushan, why didn't I see anyone playing in the palace?"

"Because it was a waste of time." Xu Cheng snorted coldly.Xu Cheng: "There is also a polo game in Lin'an Mansion, and only princes and nobles are keen on it."

Gu Yue: "It's so fun, it's a pity that I didn't see the polo match when I went to Lin'an Mansion..."

Qin Juan thought to himself: When you were in Lin'an, calling you out was like killing you, what a pity now.

When he took Seventh Brother and Huhu out to play, he saw someone playing this at the foot of Chestnut Mountain, but he didn't know it was polo at that time.

Gu Yue asked the villagers how much this polo usually sells.

The villagers replied: "We are selling it to merchants in the town, and it costs [-] yuan a piece."

Gu Yue thought it was cheap, but Xu Cheng said it was normal.

Xu Cheng also said: "The merchants will take it to Lin'an to sell it, and one can sell for ten renminbi."

Gu Yue stopped talking immediately.

They lived in this village, in the house of the village chief, but they only had one guest room, and they could only make a floor bunk in the room.

I left after resting all night, and I didn't feel shabby.

The four of them ate and washed up one after another before falling asleep.

At night, something happened outside, someone was walking around, which also woke up Qin Juan and the others.

Gu Yue rubbed her eyes: "I'm doing..."

"Shh." Xu Cheng gave him a hand.

Gu Yue also woke up a little bit. Seeing Zhao Huaizhi and the others woke up, they looked outside again. Those people were all walking out of the village with something on their shoulders.

"Don't go out here, I'll go out and have a look." Qin Juan put on his shoes, put on a dress, and went out.

"I'm with you." Xu Cheng stood up and put on his shoes.

Gu Yue also wanted to follow, but was stopped by Qin Juan: "You take care of Huaizhi."

"He..." Does he need my care?

Of course, when these words came to Gu Yue's mouth, he didn't dare to say them. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he sat back to his original position.

Qin Juan and Xu Cheng followed the villagers and saw that they were walking towards the small lake outside the village.

"Brother Xu, you go this way, I'll pass by the lake, don't be discovered by them."

After Qin Juan finished speaking, Xu Cheng nodded his head and then parted ways.

A total of six villagers, the leader is the village head

They were probably digging something, as long as it wasn't something harmful and didn't affect their hidden guards, Qin Juan and the others wouldn't care, so they just wanted to know what the villagers were digging.

The two squatted for a long time without knowing the result.

No one spoke except for the sound of shovels digging.

Half an hour later, those people stopped suddenly, and Qin Juan guessed that they must have dug up something.

"Little Sanzi, is this the thing?"

The little third son came over to have a look: "It was too dark that day, I didn't see if it was this thing, but the location can't be wrong."

"Don't worry about it, dig it out and have a look. If it's a head or something, report it to the police as soon as possible, so as not to get into big trouble!"

At this moment, Qin Juan and Xu Cheng both figured it out. Someone should have buried something here, maybe they were just passing by and staying overnight like them, or they had just left not long ago.

After a while, the thing was dug out, and it was a one-foot-long box.

The third son jumped to the back: "I dare not open it, you guys come here."

Mostly because they are afraid that there are scary things inside, after all, the size of the box is just right...

So many people dare not go forward.

It was the village chief who walked over and pried the box open.

To be honest, everyone felt a little pity. Of course, the pity was the exquisite box. This box is so beautiful.

The box looks nice, but what's inside leaves them speechless.

However, fortunately, it wasn't something scary, otherwise, if there was a murder in the village, everyone's livelihood would be affected.

"There are seeds, and grains..."

Xiao San'er stomped his feet: "It's been a waste of time, I squatted by the lake for so long that day for nothing."

A few villagers came over and put their big palms on Xiao San'er's shoulders: "You kid must think you have hidden gold, silver and jewelry!"

Xiao San'er yelled: "Even if I thought it was gold, silver and jewelry, I told the village chief! I didn't think about taking it all!"

"That's because you are afraid of something scary. You mainly want the village chief to testify. You are afraid of getting involved in a case." Someone snickered.The village head smiled and said, "That's all, all right, since it's all right, let's all go back to sleep."

"Then what about the village chief's box?"

Village head: "How did you dig it out, and how did you bury it?"

Everyone called Bai busy!

Still, why put seeds and grains in chests and bury them here?

Knowing that it was a false alarm, Qin Juan and Xu Cheng also went back.

Seeing that they came back, Zhao Huaizhi didn't delay for long, knowing that it was not a big deal, he didn't ask any questions, and fell asleep.

Gu Yue was curious about what they saw when they went out, and asked Xu Cheng.

Xu Cheng said: "Probably someone who stayed overnight buried it here. The boxes contained grains and seeds."

"Grain? Seed?" Gu Yue asked suspiciously.

Xu Cheng didn't answer his question, just lay down and fell asleep.

They did not stay in the village much, and left the village the next day after filling their water bladders.

It's just that when passing by the small lake last night, Qin Juan inevitably took a look at the place where the villagers dug up the box yesterday.

I'm just curious as to who the owner of that box is.

Since then, there has been no rest all the way.

On June [-]th, they arrived at a place called Ji'an. Because the scenery was so beautiful, they finally stopped.

"This place is beautiful, stay here for one night and then go on your way." Gu Yue begged, to be honest, he was really tired.

After receiving Zhao Huaizhi's instructions, Xu Cheng immediately went to the inn.

Xu Cheng remembered that many years ago, he knew that Ji'an was because of a prince. This prince was Yu Wang Zhao Ruoqi, the cousin of the Tian family. This man was very talented when he was young. The loophole of ten thousand taels of silver dismissed dozens of officials.

But he only worked in the Ministry of Industry for one year, was sent to the fief when he was in his twenties, and died of illness within a few years.

After Zhao Ruoqi's death, his concubine elder brother adopted his own son as his son, and this child is now Prince Yu's son, Zhao Chong.

Zhao Chong is probably the same age as Xu Nuo, and now lives in Ji'an.

Stopping at the inn in front, Zhao Huaizhi asked them how many days they wanted to stay.

Gu Yue replied: "Three days!"

Xu Cheng replied almost at the same time as him: "One day."

Qin Juan: "Then I'll take the average, two days." Zhao Huaizhi: "That's two days."

Xu Cheng and Gu Yue: "..." Since this is the case, is it okay to ask Qin Juan directly?

On the first night of their stay, they discovered why the people in this inn liked to chat so much.

Gu Yue went in and out of the inn several times, and the one she heard the most was "Yu Wang".

Not only did he hear it, but Qin Juan also heard it during dinner.

Lying on the bed, Gu Yue was still asking Xu Cheng, "Who is that King Yu?"

Xu Cheng: "He is the younger brother of the son."

Gu Yue: "Then did he get into trouble?

Xu Cheng: "Then what are they talking about him?"

Gu Yue: "I've heard intermittently that his position is not right."

When Xu Cheng heard this, he snorted and said, "It's neither right nor wrong. It has nothing to do with him in the first place, it's just that his biological father wanted to take the throne for nothing."

"What do you mean?" Gu Yue sat up.

Xu Chengzhen didn't know that he was still such a gossip...

"Tell me, let me listen to half of it." Even very unhappy.

Xu Cheng: "Original King Yu was Zhao Chong's uncle, he was the son of a concubine, and now this Zhao Chong is the son of the older brother Yu Wang's concubine. At first, the Tian family heard that Yu Wang died of illness, and it was probably sad. Because of this, Zhao Chong His biological father suggested that Zhao Chong be adopted by the old King Yu, saying that it would allow Zhao Ruoqi to continue his lineage, and the Tian family immediately agreed."

"But later, someone said that Zhao Ruoqi had a posthumous child, and that woman was the concubine that Zhao Ruoqi's mother had arranged for Zhao Ruoqi before his death. But later, someone said that the woman died."

Gu Yue: "...Dead? Then Zhao Ruoqi's biological son also died?"

Xu Cheng: "I don't know, maybe he's dead. If he doesn't die, Zhao Chong will be nineteen years old. Why haven't anyone come to ask for the position of King Yu?"

Gu Yue: "Maybe it's because the deal is done, even if you think about it, there's nothing you can do about it."

"The Tian family can still help with this kind of thing, I guess it should be dead." Xu Cheng said.

Gu Yue: "..." Since Xu Cheng said he was dead, he should be dead...

Xu Cheng: "Can I sleep now?"

Gu Yue "hmm"

The next day, Gu Yue went to the market to sell his accessories, because his accessories were exquisitely crafted, they were sold out quickly.

Some people even asked where he lived, saying that they were going to the place where he stayed to find him to get goods.

This transaction gave Gu Yue a taste of the sweetness.

When he was getting on his horse and was about to leave, a carriage sped past: "Get out of the way!"

"It's the carriage of Prince Yu's Mansion again!"

Hearing this, Gu Yue looked at the carriage.

In the carriage, the young man was slightly fat, but he could tell that he had good facial features, he was a bit arrogant and undisciplined, he looked like a pampered little prince...
