Gangneung Castle, market.

The market is an official market, with fences at several entrances, and it can only be opened for trading in the early morning after the bell rings, and it closes in the evening.

The main currencies in circulation in the official market were gold and silver, and it was strictly forbidden to barter copper utensils.

The main trade of Jiangling is Shu brocade, here is the main sales center of Shu brocade, whether it is Jiangdong or the Central Plains, or Hebei, all the dignitaries and nobles do not like Shu brocade, even Xianbei, Wuhuan people like Shu brocade.

Shu brocade trading is mainly gold and silver, Tian Xin has no money to buy Shu brocade, he led six subordinates all wearing armor and carrying knives, one of the physical strength of the tribal even carried Tian Xin's iron halberd, clearly is the army lieutenant general school.

Here the city is seriously inspecting Tian Xin's official seal, and said: "The school captain has been triumphant since Xiangfan, I don't know if there are bronze vessels?" Si Jin Zhonglang will buy bronze artifacts from the official office, and the lieutenant general can get a high price. ”

Tian Xin took out a bronze mirror with a large double phoenix pattern: "How much can such a big bronze mirror be exchanged?" ”

Shi Zheng stretched out his hand to catch it, and returned it to Tian Xin: "This weighs about one catty and twelve taels, and one tael of copper is given two hundred dollars, and this bronze mirror is worth four thousand two hundred dollars." ”

Four thousand two hundred coins, naturally not four thousand two hundred five baht coins, or the same amount of five baht in Shu, but forty-two straight hundred coins, the weight is also twenty-one taels, deducting tin, the copper content should be half of the weight of the copper mirror.

Contrary to Shizheng's expectations, Tian Xin handed him the bronze mirror: "Let's exchange money, can there be caramel and honey here?" ”

Tian Xin really has no money, and after registering the storage information of the bronze mirror here in the city, he only got forty-two straight hundred coins that belonged to him, and the weight was equivalent to seventy five baht of Shu minted during the Liu Zhang period, but the face value was a full sixty times.

In order to collect bronze ware and cast more straight hundred coins, Liu Bei even melted the copper hooks for hanging tents.

This is the official market, and a hundred dollars are worth a hundred and five baht dollars, do you dare to admit it?

Therefore, prices have already skyrocketed, and many things will not appear in the official market, and most of them are consumed by bartering.

Without a business environment, there can be no handicraft development.

So much so that Tian Xin now has forty-two straight hundred coins and finds that there is nothing to buy, luxury goods cannot be bought, handicrafts are few, and even hard currency such as grain and cloth is not sold.

There was no maltose to sell, and the honey was out of season, so Tian Xin found a Jiaozhou merchant stall selling brown sugar.

The viscous brown sugar is packed in a bamboo tube, and a tube of sugar is about two catties and is worth 1,500 yuan.

Naturally, Tian Xin bought three barrels of brown sugar for 4,200 yuan, and asked with a smile: "I like to eat sugar, I want 5,000 catties of sugar every month, you may supply it?" ”

The merchant laughed: "The general doesn't want to make fun of the villain, the villain is only 500 catties before and after storage and transportation this year." ”

Tian Xinyi smiled: "Am I a joker? My sons and daughters have a lot of gold, silver, and bronze in their hands, and one pound of copper is exchanged for five pounds of sugar for you, and if you want, you can come to the old city barracks to find me. I can take as much sugar as you have. ”

Bypassing the official market transactions, this merchant naturally does not have to pay taxes.

It's bartering again, no matter how powerful Jin Cao and Shizheng are, the tax can't be collected on the heads of this kind of traveling merchants.

also knows that businessmen have concerns, no matter how good Liu Beijun's discipline is, there will always be some things that make businessmen afraid.

Tian Xin gave the merchant a bamboo slip to pass and thought about it himself, and if he wanted to make money, he would talk about it, and if he didn't dare to earn this money, forget it.

Walking out of the official market, Tian Xin sighed with emotion: "I heard that when the world was peaceful, one stone of rice in Ruoyang was worth two or three hundred yuan. The people of today's troubled times are not as good as the dogs of the Taiping of Ruoyang back then. ”

Yan Zhong smiled and said, "The lord said this...... I don't know how to say that I can live one day at a time. ”

During the conversation, Huang Quan was already standing in the middle of the road, wearing a dark black brocade robe and wearing a virtuous crown, and asked aloud with a slight arch of his hand: "Is it Fengyi Captain Fufeng Tian Xiaoxian?" ”

"It's Tian, who didn't dare to ask Mr.?"

"A certain Langzhong Huang Quan, engaged in the rule of the leader, came to Jingzhou on business by the order of the king."

Huang Quan turned his head sideways as he spoke, and one of his attendants had taken out the splendid silk book from the wooden box, and the silk book was held by another attendant in both hands, and Huang Quan said, "Where is the mansion in the city of Captain Tian?" ”

"The last general will stay in the barracks, and there is only one sister who fosters the prince's mansion, and there is no property in the city."

Tian Xin looked left and right, and saw that there were clean streets and alleys next to him, and asked tentatively: "I don't know if it's urgent?" ”

"There's no hurry."

Huang Quan waved his hand back, and his entourage put the silk book into the box again, and Huang Quan asked, "Is Captain Tian going back to the camp now, or is he going somewhere else?" ”

"I'm going to visit my sister in Guan Junhou's mansion, and I'll go back to the camp before Shen Shi."

"It's a coincidence, Huang is also going to the Junhou Mansion, why don't you go together?"

The two walked together, Huang Quan looked at Tian Xin carefully, and when they met, there was no arrogance, and said with a smile: "The name of filial piety and courage has spread all over the army in Yizhou, and they all think they are brave and straightforward, and they don't want to be a subtle and humble person." ”

"Sir treats me with courtesy, and I deserve the same in return."

Tian Xin's smile naturally looked casual: "Mr. was a guest at Mifu Jun before?" Tian Mouchen entered the city and waited for a long time in the side courtyard of the county government, but he did not see the figure of Mi Fujun for a long time, and there was no catering and entertainment, so he said goodbye without saying goodbye. I know that there is a faux pas, but I pay tribute to Mi Fujun's actions. Does Mr. have the intention of persuading Tian to apologize to Mi Fujun? ”

"How? Mi Zifang is so disappointed and resentful, how can words move? ”

Huang Quan smiled heartily: "Seeing filial piety today, I know at a glance that filial piety has a strategy, and he is not an ordinary general." It's just a little millet square, and it's a mediocre person. ”

When Tian Xin hesitated, Huang Quan raised his finger and pointed to his eyes and said, "Xiaoxian's eyes are sharp, but he has a heavy meaning. Huang has been in the world for more than 40 years, and he boasts of knowing people. ”

Seeing this, Tian Xin grinned: "It just so happens that Tian also has some ideas, if Mr. is free tonight, why don't you talk about it?" It's good to teach Mr. to understand Tian's measurements. ”

Huang Quan solemnly: "I came to Jingzhou to discuss major matters." ”

After making an appointment about this, Huang Quan asked about the Xiangfan battlefield, and Tian Xin replied with a deep voice: "It is inconvenient to talk to Mr. here, if I say confidential, I am afraid that outsiders will listen to it." If you tell a lie, it is disrespectful to the gentleman, and it will not help the big thing. ”

Huang Quan is also restrained, bowing his head slightly.

So the two of them were silent for the rest of the road, saying goodbye in front of Guan Yu's mansion, Huang Quan walked through the front door, and Tian Xin went to the backyard through the side door.

When he went to the backyard to perform martial arts, about forty or fifty half-grown teenagers and women were playing under the bright sunshine, the teenagers were as old as twelve or thirteen, the youngest was seven or eight years old, with a green brocade cloak on their backs, and the girls were also about the same age, with bright red cloaks on their backs.

When I got closer, I saw what kind of cloak was there, it was clearly a fine Shu brocade, which was roughly cut, as if a sheet was tied around the neck.

Or holding bamboo swords and bamboo shields to form an infantry battle line to fight, or holding a bamboo horse in the left hand and a wooden stick in the right hand as a cavalry, wandering around the wings to rush back and forth.

The maid of the Guan family was a little embarrassed and laughed: "Let the captain see it." ”

Tian Xin smiled and waved his hand, found the little sister in the crowd, and also wore a collar of bright red Shu brocade material around her neck as a cloak, and her little face was also red, nervously watching the battle, holding a bamboo sword and shield in both hands, and several other little girls who were about the same height surrounded a girl, the girl was tall and slender, and stood on the chariot with a red mantle flag and scolded again and again.

Under her command, the girls pressed the half-grown teenager and beat him, and after a short time, they chased and killed all the way, tearing off Guan Xing on another car.

"Pang De, Brother Ru is serving in Shuzhong, why don't you descend to the same Han room as soon as possible?"

"Hmph, the eldest husband would rather die than surrender!"

"Left and right, quit and slash!"

The girl pulled the corner of the cloak and waved her arms, shook her hand and turned around in a sassy posture, and raised her chin to meet Tian Xin's eyes, Guan Xing let out a miserable scream.

Immediately afterwards, the girl also let out a scream, jumped out of the car and turned around and ran to the backyard, Tian Yan and a group of girls and girls shouted 'General Guan' and ran away.
