The next day, Gao Yuan got up, got dressed, and after washing, he was having breakfast, while Yuyan and another maid were waiting on the side, they wanted to serve Gao Yuan and dress, but Gao Yuan refused, so now they are standing behind Gao Yuan, watching Gao Yuan eat.

Gao Yuan only ate two bites, only to hear the sound of footsteps, Li Yinghong ran into the inner hall in a hurry. Li Yinghong changed her clothes again today, wearing a fur-edged felt hat with two feathers inserted on it, wearing a strong suit with arrow sleeves, a short skirt over the knee, a pair of cowhide boots on her feet, and a pair of swords hanging from her waist. It turns out that since King Wuling of Zhao implemented Hufu riding and shooting in Zhao State, Hu people's clothing has become very popular among the people of Zhao State, so it is not uncommon for Hu people like Li Yinghong to dress, and she is full of vitality, and this dress is very suitable for her.

And Geng Zhong and Yan Zhong also ran in after her, and now Geng Zhong already knows Li Yinghong's identity and knows that this eldest lady can't afford to offend.

When Yuyan and the other maid were at a loss, Geng Zhong hurriedly said to them: "This is the eldest lady of Wu Anjun, why don't you hurry up and salute." ”

When the two maids heard this, they also hurriedly bowed down and said, "I've seen Miss Li." ”

Li Yinghong ignored them at all, and went straight to the front of Gao Yuan, and said, "Gao Yuan, did you just get up!" Hurry up and pack up, I'll take you to the bazaar, I haven't been to the bazaar in Handan in months. ”

Gao Yuan smiled bitterly, this little girl was acute, and said, "Yinghong, you haven't had breakfast, just eat here with me, and it will be fine immediately." ”

Li Yinghong said: "What else to eat, let's go, let's go outside to eat, and I'll take you to eat Handan's specialties." As he spoke, he couldn't help but say, as soon as he pulled the sleeve of the plateau, he walked out. And Gao Yuan had no choice, so he had to put down his job and go out with Li Yinghong, leaving Yan Zhong and the others laughing secretly.

In fact, Li Yinghong is now just a young girl who is just beginning to fall in love, and she is still ignorant of the relationship between men and women, but because she lives in the military camp all the year round, she has also developed an informal, hearty and generous character, coupled with the openness of Zhao Guo's atmosphere, she does not pay much attention to the defense of men and women, and she only feels very happy with the plateau, so she always likes to come to the plateau. And although Gao Yuan has much more experience than Li Yinghong, after all, he is from modern times, and he does not have so much leisure for his daughters, and Gao Yuan can also feel that Li Mu is also intentionally or unintentionally, and he is also opening the door for the two **. It also dispels a lot of scruples.

In fact, other people around Li Mu have long seen that the relationship between the two is different. However, Li Yinghong has indeed reached the age of talking about marriage, Gao Yuan's age is the same as Li Yinghong, and although he has not been here for a long time, he has won Li Mu's attention, and has also made a lot of contributions to Li Mu. Therefore, everyone did not say that it was broken, but just waited for the window paper to be pierced.

In this era, most of the wealthy families lived in the city for a long time, so in the big cities, there were "cities" where the residents of the four regions traded goods, and each country also had city officials who collected taxes. In fact, during the Warring States Period, China's commerce was very developed, and the revenue from the municipal tax was extremely high, numbering more than 100,000 yuan every day, and in some countries, the revenue from the municipal tax accounted for nearly half of the national treasury revenue.

Handan City is one of the largest cities in the world, so it is also very prosperous, although Zhao has experienced several wars, and this year has suffered a great drought, but Handan City has not been greatly affected, although the prosperity is much lower than in the past, but it is still very lively.

The most prosperous place in Handan city is the Lushi area, surrounded by high walls, there are four gates, each door has the history of the city to guard, it is said that the door is opened, the door is closed, the goods in the city are very rich, and there are a large number of craftsmen in it to open a workshop and set up a house, at dawn every day, there are people lining up at the city gate, waiting to enter the market for shopping.

When Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong arrived in the city, the market had already opened, but they did not enter the city immediately, but wandered around the city streets around the deer market. Lushi Street is divided into four streets, southeast and northwest, with a width of nearly 20 meters, which can accommodate six high cars and is not galloping, because Lushi Street surrounds the surroundings of Lushi, and most of the people living in Lushi are businessmen and wealthy households, so as to facilitate the market transactions, so it is also a shop pù like a forest around Lushi Street, but it is mainly a restaurant girl.

Most of the time, after the closing of the market every night, the rich people are secretly talking about transactions in the restaurant girl, and then feasting each other, or singing and dancing, playing the pipe, drumming, building, playing the piano, or fighting cocks, dogs, gambling for fun, or looking for beautiful women for fun, all night long, sleepless, often will spend a lot of money, tens of thousands of copper coins per day. And there are many wealthy families who simply set up their homes in the restaurant girls' houses, singing songs every night, and having a spring festival at night.

Nulu is the name of the brothel in the pre-Qin period, it is said that in the Spring and Autumn Period, the name of the Qi State was set up by Guan Zhong, and the wives and children of the fallen soldiers of the Qi State operated, in order to attract merchants to the Qi State to do business, and collect taxes to increase the income of the national treasury. Later, Guan Zhong assisted Duke Qi Huan and became the head of the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemons, and Nulu also provided a lot of financial support for Qi State.

Later, other countries saw that the female lu spy was rich, and they also imitated it, and also opened the female lu in their own country, although it was denounced by some Confucian brothers as bad etiquette and bad morals, but it could not prevent the popularity of the female lu from expanding, and later, there were many Confucian brothers and children who also lingered among the female lu day and night, and they were happy. Of course, there are fewer and fewer people who oppose it.

Even though it was daytime, you could still smell the smell of wine along the street, and the sound of silk and bamboo wind music, women singing music, and men laughing was always heard. At the same time, cars come and go, in and out, it is indeed very lively.

Gao Yuan and Li Yinghong did not ride horses, they were both walking, and Li Yinghong obviously often came to Lushi Street to play, so he took Gao Yuan left and right, drilled around in the crowd, and after turning around on the street, he entered Lushi from the east gate.

The deer market is divided horizontally and vertically, very neat, the houses are connected, the shops are lined up, and there are many kinds of goods, there are everything, and at the same time, according to the different categories of various commodities, they are classified, and the grain market buys grain; The cloth market specializes in buying silk and silk, and the horse market not only buys horses, but also buys cattle, sheep and livestock, pheasants, hares, wild sheep and other game prey, and others such as iron, copper smelting, leather, pottery, lacquer workers, etc., are countless, and the paths are distinct, and also provide a lot of convenience for the wealthy people who shop.

However, Gao Yuan also noticed that other urban areas are open for business, and there are many merchants coming and going, only a very small number of shops are opened in the rice market, and seven or eight out of ten are closed, which seems to be very deserted. Apparently it was greatly affected by the drought.

In addition, there is a special place to exchange huàn money in the city. Because at this time the currency has not been unified, only gold can be used in the nations, and the currencies used by the countries are not the same, in Zhao Wei Han used cloth coins, Qi Yan used knife coins, Qin used round coins, Chu used shell coins, etc., in addition to shells, grain, cloth, etc., can also be used as currency, so in the transaction, it is very different, so all countries have a place to exchange huàn money in the door, and exchange other currencies for the currency or gold used by the country, so as to facilitate the transactions of merchants.

The two of them took a look around, and Li Yinghong inevitably had to buy some silk, jewelry, jewelry and other things, of course, Gao Yuan paid for it. As a result, after a short while, both hands of the plateau were full.

Turning around, the two came to Wu City, which is a place to sell all kinds of weapons, of course, mostly selling swords. In other places, and in a variety of ways, the length can be more than a meter, the short one is less than twenty centimeters, and all of them are beautifully made, but most of them are bronze swords, and a few are iron swords.

Although iron farming tools were widely used in this era, the weapons were still mainly bronze, because the current iron-smelting technology was not high, and the process of casting high-quality iron swords was difficult. But there are also a few skilled craftsmen who can forge high-quality iron swords.

Gao Yuan knew that it was the general trend for iron weapons to replace bronze weapons, so he also wanted to find a few skilled craftsmen, not only to buy a high-quality iron sword, but also to create a few new weapons, which could also strengthen the combat effectiveness of the Zhao army.

But in front of a shop with a big façade that sells iron swords, Gao Yuan looked at more than ten iron swords in a row, but the quality is average, and it is not as good as the bronze swords made by Seiko. When the shopkeeper who bought the sword saw it, he also knew that Gao Yuan was not an ordinary buyer, so he also said, "What kind of iron sword does this guest want?" ”

Gao Yuan said: "The higher the quality, the better, at least stronger than this bronze sword of mine." As he spoke, he handed his bronze sword to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper drew his sword and was also taken aback, and said: "This sword of the guest is a rare work of fine craftsmanship, and the value is at least more than dozens of eridium gold." I am afraid that there are not many iron swords of higher quality than the guest's sword, and the value will never be less than fifty eridium gold. Not to mention my shop, I'm afraid it's hard to find a better iron sword than your bronze sword in the entire city. ”

Gao Yuan said: "Gold is not a problem, as long as the sword is good, as long as it is worth the money, then even if it is 100 Yi gold, I will not hesitate to do it." If you can't buy it in the city, how can you buy it there? ”

The shopkeeper took a bamboo skewer from the store, handed it to Gao Yuan, and said: "Guest, you can find it according to this address, this is the best casting workshop in our Zhao Kingdom, and half of my bronze and iron swords come from there, you may be able to find the iron sword you want, but the price requires you to go and interview him." ”

Gao Yuan took the bamboo stick, looked at it, received it in his arms, and casually took out a bag of copper coins, about thirty or forty, and threw it to the shopkeeper, saying, "Thank you." ”
