Chen Kaizhi immediately glanced at Deng Jian, and when he saw his thoughtful look, he couldn't help but remind with a smile.

"But if you want to follow Uncle Shi, your appearance needs to change, shave your beard, your skin is too rough, these days, I will make people think of a way, you and my brother, I let you go on an adventure, in fact, I am also uneasy, but I think of Uncle Fang, it is more reassuring if you don't take care of it."

He put one hand on Deng Jian's shoulder and solemnly promised.

"When you come back, whether you succeed or not, you will come to Beijing, I and you, called brothers, but there is no difference between me and brothers, let's go now, go to Jibei, ...... It's time to give the rebels a little color. ”

Deng Jian's eyes flashed, and he nodded slightly.

Jibei is only a day's work from Jeju, when approaching Jebei, it is clearly different from Jeju, once you cross the boundary, you will find that there are not countless ridges here, but there are a lot of roads, although there are also fields, but most of them have been planned, in addition, with lime, gravel, gravel, gravel, glutinous rice tamped straight roads.

This kind of road is actually more like the original version of the concrete road, in fact, it has existed since ancient times, but when the people of the observation group saw this road, they were all amazed.

Even Chen Zhenjing felt extremely surprised, you know, it is not impossible to use such materials to pave roads, but generally this kind of primitive 'cement' is either used by dignitaries as tombs, or as roads in prosperous cities, but this is directly built in the wild, which is really too ...... Broke.

It's a lot of money.

Not only that, but even on both sides of the road, ditches were dug and paved with masonry, apparently to drain water and irrigate the nearby granges.

This kind of luxury, even Luoyang, may not be willing to be so extravagant, many people's first reaction is to frown.

Chen Zhenjing obviously couldn't help frowning, for him, such extravagant projects are actually not advocated, the government must act simply, how can it be so extravagant.

In the distance, there are a few Zhuangzi, who seem to be taking care of the farmland along the way, but it is said that the original population of Jibei has gone to Beiyan, so that it is empty, so Jibei Prefecture recruited cultivators.

Because of this, everything here is well organized, where there are farms, which places are roads, which places are bridges and ditches, and where there are land reserved for future development, all of which have been carefully planned.

The Zhuangzi obviously has a small population, but there is a lot of land, but judging from the situation of farming, it seems that animal power should be used on a large scale here, and animal power should be used instead of manpower, which is indeed a good way, but it is ...... still makes Chen Zhenjing and others feel that this is too extravagant.

It seems very irrational that such a place is so expensive.

The appetite of animals is not small, and the value of animals is good, now Dachen has people, manpower is low, large-scale use of animal power, although the land cultivated by a family has increased exponentially, but it is not necessarily a good thing, so that the young and strong have no land to cultivate, I am afraid that there will be chaos.

Further forward, there will be more cars and horses on the road, the road here, obviously planned, such as the staggered tic-tac-toe, each road staggered, there will be a gathering place, described in a small market town, there are inns in it, for merchants to rest, will also set up a special sentry, which ensures that within a radius of several miles, there must be a guard to maintain law and order, as for other derived wines, teahouses and the like are a lot.

Obviously, there are a lot of merchants who press goods here, and in every market, there are carts and horses walking goods everywhere, and many people go to the market to rest for a while, but it seems to be very lively, and the merchants seem to get together and exchange news from all over the world.

Stopped outside the inn was a cartload of goods.

These carriages and horses have obviously undergone special modifications, and the goods are strange, including ginseng and medicinal materials from Beiyan, as well as cattle and horses sent by Beiyan, as well as cloth, ironware, refined salt, pottery, porcelain and even many strange things produced from Jibei, so that people can't name them.

When the account, although most people will also take out copper coins, but if it involves a relatively large amount of transactions, it almost takes the silver ticket of Jibei money bank, the lowest face value is one or two lines of silver, and then ten taels, twenty taels, fifty taels, one hundred taels, etc., if it is outside Jibei, only the merchants are more willing to use this kind of silver ticket trading, but in Jibei, even the peddler pawn, seems to be willing to accept this specially printed paper ticket, this ticket is very beautifully printed, it is said that it is a special printing workshop in Jibei to supervise, Even the paper used is different from other papers, and ordinary people can distinguish the authenticity from the fake just by touching the paper.

As soon as the two or three thousand people arrived, it caused many people in the market to stop and watch, but it seems that the people of Jibei are not too surprised by this, if it is in other states and counties, I am afraid that it will be a sensation long ago.

But here, although it is also eye-catching, most people are accustomed to it.

Chen Zhenjing felt a little lost in his heart, after all, he was a prince, but when he came here, it was more just to arouse people's curiosity, so he was busy with his own business, and then he was sharpened, and several inns nearby were suddenly occupied.

Chen Zhenjing looked for a position, but he didn't dare to sit down, but he went to greet Chen Kaizhi, Deng Jian and Yansheng Gongren first, and when Chen Kaizhi sat down, a few people dared to sit down to accompany him.

Chen Kaizhi smiled and said to the person beside him: "I asked Master Yang not to come to greet him, everything is simple, he is good, he really doesn't come to greet him, and everything is really simple." ”

Chen Zhenjing also smiled and said: "Yang Gong obviously has a hard time, if there is a big fanfare, how can Your Majesty have a private workshop, and how can so many people come with him observe carefully." ”

Chen Kaizhi nodded his head and beckoned the shopkeeper, who was already busy sweating profusely, and there were suddenly more than 100 people in their inn alone, and they stepped forward and saluted Chen Kaizhi and the others.

Chen Kaizhi only let him serve good food and wine, and the guy suddenly felt relaxed, as if he knew how to observe words and feelings, and knew that Chen Kaizhi was a nobleman, so he promised in a non-standard official language.

Chen Kaizhi smiled and said, "You are not from Shandong? ”

"The villain is from Hongzhou."

Hongzhou ......

This is thousands of miles away, Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but be curious, so he asked: "It's been a long time since you've been here, right, aren't you surprised that we have so many people?" ”

In fact, Chen Kaizhi also had this question in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to ask.

This is an observation group of 3,000 people, it is huge, if you have seen the people of the world, it is not enough, but even a shopkeeper does not seem to have the slightest surprise on the surface.

The shopkeeper smiled, he shook his head lightly, Chen Kaizhi shook his head, and then said it in detail.

"What is this, although three thousand people are a lot, but in this Jibei, some big business groups come, one or two thousand people are also there, the scale of three or four thousand people, it's not that I haven't seen it, Gongzi this is something I don't know, for example, the merchants of Jinling are coming, and they often go together, Jibei is too peaceful here, but other state capitals, but it's not accurate, isn't this to prevent bandits? Therefore, almost all the businessmen are invited to come together, and sometimes, even dozens of business houses come together, hundreds of men, hundreds of cars, and coachmen, there are guards, and there are mighty people. Nowadays, everywhere in the world, who doesn't know that selling refined salt is a huge profit? Naturally, they are the first to regret coming, so that there are more people, and there is nothing unusual. ”

The shopkeeper paused again, and when he saw that Chen Kaizhi and the others were listening very carefully, he was quite proud, so he continued.

"Not only that, the merchants came to buy refined salt at first, but when they arrived at the place, they found that there was more than refined salt that could make a profit, and even the iron tools here, do you know the iron tools? The agricultural tools produced by the iron mill here are not only durable, ten times more durable and sophisticated than other ironware, and the price is only twice as expensive, in addition, there is also cloth, the price of this cloth is low, and the color dyed is also the best, compared to Songjiang cloth, Shu brocade, it is also not much better, but the price of cloth in Jibei is low, even if it is trafficked, it is also profitable. ”

When Zhao Wang and the others heard this, they couldn't help but be speechless, and they listened very carefully.

"In addition, there are many things, such as the latest glass workshop, the production of glass, not only low price, but also any color...... In this way, there are more and more merchants, all countries, Beiyan, Yue Chu, and even the merchants of Huren, Daliang and Shu will also come. ”

The shopkeeper seemed to be very talkative, and he seemed to feel that Chen Kaizhi and the others didn't quite understand his words, so he continued: "Childe, think about it, what will happen if all the businessmen from all over the world gather here? Not only will everyone come to buy the goods here, but also will bring the goods from all over the world, so to speak, the world's treasures and specialties, from the cattle and horses of Beiyan, medicinal materials, to the silk of the Yue people, the best Shu brocade of the Shu people, if you are in another place, want to buy all the complete, it is difficult, but in this Jibei, as long as you can think of the goods, they are all here. ”

The more the shopkeeper talked, the more energetic he became, and he actually started talking.

"So in the past, the merchants only came to buy ironware, refined salt and all kinds of products from Jibei, but now, it is completely different, now there are other merchants who buy and sell, if you want to buy cattle and horses, you don't have to go to Beiyan, you don't have to go to Hudi if you want to buy fur, you don't have to go out of the customs to Hudi, you want to buy Shu brocade, you don't have to go to Shu, only in Jibei, you have everything, as long as there is silver, there are thousands of specialties in the south and north of the world."
