1084. To Luoyang

The boat ride is very boring, Li Pojun is also happy to have an interesting fat man to chat, after some chat, Li Pojun also learned about Liang Fatzi's family background, the Liang family opened a silk village in Yangzhou, what is the scale, Li Pojun does not know, but seeing Liang Fatzi's round head, it is estimated that it is okay to mix in Yangzhou.

In Li Pojun's mouth, Li Pojun is an official eunuch, his father is a six-grade official in Beijing, this time to support the good time of Yangchun March to Yangzhou to play, the fat man heard that Li Pojun's father is a six-grade official, but also behaved extremely enthusiastically, after all, in this era, rich businessmen are nothing, Shinong businessmen, businessmen have no social status even if they are rich, and they are worthy of respect when they take the official career.

After an afternoon, Li Pojun and the fat man are also familiar with each other, after the fat man played with the folding fan, he actually picked up a pen and paper to write something, Li Pojun was very curious, when he came up to see, it was a folding fan picture, Li Pojun looked at the smile on the corner of the fat man's mouth, sighed in his heart, felt a little bad, and said: "Brother Liang, what is this doing?" ”

Liang Ze put down the pen, took out a handful of silver barley in his arms, and gave it to Li Pojun together with the fan, and laughed and said: "Thank you Brother Li for letting me see the fan, these are not respectful, just when I invite my brother to eat and drink, haha", he raised the drawings in his hand, blinked his little eyes and smiled: "This folding fan will definitely be a big seller, there are many scholars in the land of Jiangnan, and there is more style, and Jiangnan has no folding fan at this time, if I go back and invite some craftsmen to make this fan in large quantities and sell it, it will definitely make money, haha."

Li Pojun didn't know what to say when he heard his mouth open, and then he was angry, good guy, this fat man has a good idea, he drew the drawings from his hand, and then went to compete with him for business, Li Pojun also knew that the folding fan had a simple structure, it was not a high-tech thing, and there would be imitations once it appeared, but he still counted on someone to imitate it before making a lot of money, and the result was good, the store in the capital had just opened, but in a day or two, some people were imitating it to Jiangnan...... Li Pojun was also speechless.

Seeing Li Pojun's face, Liang Ze hurriedly laughed and said, "Brother Li is angry, hehe."

Li Pojun also knew that it was no wonder that Liang Fatzi had done nothing wrong in this matter.

just said lightly: "If you want to sell this, you have to be careful, I heard that this business is related to His Royal Highness the Prince."

How do you know that when Liang Ze heard this, he waved his hand and smiled: "Don't worry about this, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy with his old man, how can he care about these businessmen", and then he smiled again, and said with a straight smile: "The chair knows, right?" After His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invented the chair, my family was the first to sell the chair to Jiangnan and other places, and that guy was so easy to sell. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has benefited the people, which accountant is better than these, besides, it is not only me."

The corners of Li Pojun's mouth pulled straight when he heard this, and Qiu'er on the side was also stunned when he heard it, and he covered his mouth and smiled.

If the boat sails down the river, it is very fast, and after Li Pojun's boat enters the Yellow River from Weishui, it goes all the way down the river, and after three days of sailing, the boat arrives at the boundary of Luoyang.

Li Pojun took a 500-stone boat, the only advantage of this kind of big boat is that it is more comfortable, and the space is also wide, not as cramped as a small boat, each cabin has a small window, reading by the window, looking at the river view outside the window from time to time, but it is also comfortable.

Qiu'er was making tea, Li Pojun looked at the busy crowd of people coming and going on the shore, and also sighed at the prosperity of Luoyang, this is not close to Luoyang City, the shore is more lively, what kind of scene is it on the Luoyang wharf.

At this time, the sound of knocking on the cabin door sounded, Qiu'er went to open the door, Zhang Wenqian approached from the outside, and said with a smile: "The front is Luoyang, the boat has been sailing for several days, it is quite boring, do you want to go to Luoyang to rest?" ”

Luoyang, a rather legendary place, is very famous, Li Shimin's Tiance Mansion was also set up in Luoyang before, and Li Pojun has also been fascinated for a long time. And after sitting on the boat for several days, he only rested in Puzhou before entering the Yellow River, and only temporarily docked on the shore at night, and his feet did not touch the ground, Li Pojun also wanted to go out for a walk.

Just as he was about to speak, a voice sounded outside again, "Is Brother Li here?" But it was the voice of the fat man Liang.

When Liang Fatzi came in, he was also stunned when he saw Zhang Wenjun, who had an extraordinary temperament and a polite manner, "Brother Li, who is this?" ”

"Oh, this is my housekeeper, and I will go to Yangzhou with me this time." Li Pojun came as soon as he opened his mouth to talk nonsense.

Liang Fatzi's eyes lit up when he heard this: Butler? This is a well-educated person at first glance, he should be a staff member recruited by Li Han's father, and with such a staff, Li Han's family should be more than as simple as he said.

Immediately greeted Zhang Wenqian warmly and politely, and invited Li Pojun again: "Brother Li, I will go to Luoyang in front, the prosperity of Luoyang cannot be missed, why don't you rest and play in Luoyang together for two days?" ”

Li Pojun didn't refuse when he heard this, and said with a straight smile: "Brother Liang has this Yaxing, so he should accompany him."

Everyone got out of the cabin, the evening breeze was blowing, Li Pojun squinted his eyes, and arrived at the dock, which was full of large and small boats parked on the side of the dock, even if it was evening, there were still pedestrians and traders coming and going on the shore.

Luoyang as a famous city with a long history, water transport is also extremely developed, as the center of the Grand Canal, north to Zhuo County, south to Yuhang, open Ji Canal, Hangou, Yongji Canal, the Grand Canal makes the Sui Dynasty East Capital Luoyang more prosperous, "the north through Zhuo County of the fishermen, the south of the river capital of the transfer", making Luoyang City become the national trade center, even Chang'an is not comparable.

The Cao River is crowded with boats, and most of the houses on the bank facing the Cao River are warehouses, and after the warehouses on the bank, looking inside, there are all kinds of shops, such as water and grain supply shops, taverns, cloth shops, foot shops, tea shops, and so on, all kinds of shops are crowded on both sides of the road.

This scene surprised Li Pojun, who was accustomed to seeing the prosperity of the capital, Chang'an did not have such a developed water transportation as Luoyang, and although Weishui Wharf was also lively and prosperous, it was a little inferior to Luoyang.

There is such prosperity before it is close to the city, what kind of scene is it in the city, Li Pojun has a new understanding of the prosperity of the eastern capital Luoyang.

Everyone got off the boat and walked to the city, all the way, the shops on both sides of the street were lined up, there was not a single vacant room, the twilight sunset afterglow was faintly sprinkled on the solid avenue, the road was full of cars and horses, the flow of people was like weaving, this was still the outer city outside the city, the closer to the inner city, the more lively and crowded.

As a temporary housekeeper, Zhang Wenjun first went to find a restaurant that looked more upscale, this kind of restaurant has both food and accommodation, seeing that Li Pojun and others were dressed luxuriously and had an extraordinary bearing, the second brother led everyone to choose the best house.

Seeing that night was coming, Li Pojun and the others went to rest after eating, you must know that Luoyang, as the deputy capital, also has some curfews.
