Chapter 996: Liaodong Merchant (For Love and Love Alliance Leader 2)

The dining area on the third floor is almost all young men and women. In addition to Meng Yun, a group of senior dandy groups, there are also children of countless officials and wealthy businessmen, who also come to support Qinghe Hou. They are all attracted by this completely open layout and dietary method. They sit around the dining table and eat, drink, chat and fuck. They also have to buy and taste every food. The noisy sound makes the entire mall tremble and shake.

Chen Xu inspected the first and second floors, chatted with some officials and wealthy people I knew for a while, then went up to the third floor, and was suddenly overwhelmed by the noisy sound inside.

"Here, come here, marquis~!" Meng Yun and other groups of playboys sat around a table, each of whom was eating skewers, and they were filled with oil. When they saw Chen Xu coming up and waved to each other.

When Chen Xu walked over and looked at the table full of bowls, plates, cups and bamboo sticks piled up on the table, his face instantly turned dark.

Damn, most of them are free food without spending money. It seems that the third floor is going to lose money today.

However, after standing at the door for half an hour, he chatted with the kings and princes and ministers who came to support him on the first and second floors. He was indeed a little hungry at this time, so Chen Xu raised his hand and called a maid and made a piece of black pepper steak for himself. After the steak with a strong and strong smell in the pottery plate was served, he picked up the knife and fork and swallowed it quickly. Then he wiped his mouth and let out a long breath, slowly ate a bowl of ice noodles, and then stood up to leave.

"Where are my sister-in-law going?" Meng Yun leaned on the back of the chair and rubbed his belly.

"The mall opened today. In such a lively situation, are you going to eat and drink my delicacies here for free, and go with me to go somewhere else!"

"What the Marquis said is that I was already overwhelmed and I was about to vomit. Let's go and eat it later..."

"Not bad, you can also see the ladies who come to play!"

"Go quickly and go quickly, I'll have to eat three more black pepper steaks later..."

Some of the dandy groups touched their belly, some pinched their throats, and all stood up shakingly. Every time they said something, Chen Xu's face became darker.

Daily necessities, clothing, snacks, crafts, fur...

More than 200 shops were concentrated in a building on the same day and opened at the same time. In addition to the tens of thousands of tourists who came to play and shop, the people of Daqin had never seen such a lively commercial grand occasion.

Chen Xu and a group of playboys wandered upstairs and downstairs in the mall. Wherever they passed, there were crowded crowds and noisy sounds. The entire Cuju venue was like a hornet's nest. Almost everyone was carrying one or several shopping bags in their hands, and the names on the shopping bags were also varied. But it can be seen that these shopping bags were all learned from Qinghe Store. Now it has almost become a shopping fashion. And after entering the mall, it seems that if you don't hold one or two pockets in your hands, you will feel embarrassed.

"It's so lively!"

"Look, who is the little lady from that family? The white legs in the short skirt are so tempting! "

"Wow, someone's saliva is gone, I really want to go up and touch it!"

"Hehe, if you dare to touch it, you will have five hundred dollars!" Meng Yun laughed dryly.

"Okay, wait, let's touch it now!" Qi Laoer squeezed forward with his fists and his palms.

"Qi Lao Er, I advise you to open your eyes and see clearly. The little lady seems to be the concubine of Marquis Jiancheng, and she only married her home last month!" A playboy grabbed Qi Lao Er's arm.

"Uh~" Qi Lao Er shivered, then looked carefully for a few more times and muttered with a slutty look, "Marquis Jiancheng is almost sixty years old, and he is still so sexy, can he get such a little lady marrying her back and fucking her!"

"Hehe, Li Si was almost seventy and could still fuck seven or eight in a night. What are you worried about others doing?"

"Yes, but I heard that Li Si took a domineering magic medicine to motivate the first time, but unfortunately someone asked around but never knew the reason!" Qi Lao Er looked a little depressed, and then suddenly his eyes lit up and grabbed Chen Xu, "Did the Marquis know where to get that magic medicine to motivate the magic medicine?"

"If you don't want to live, I can naturally help you with some, so that you can feel good all night long. Have you forgotten that Li Si was in a coma when he vomited blood on his wives and concubines' belly!" Chen Xu rolled his eyes.

"Then... let's forget it!" Qi Laoer became depressed in an instant, and a group of playboys also shuddered and stopped talking about this matter.

A group of people caught between the crowd and walked around and came to the furry area.

Most of the fur sellers are foreign merchants. These merchants deal with Hungary and Hu in the northeast and northwest for most of the year. In addition to the common cattle and sheep wholesale goods, there are rare and precious fur produced in the Hungary and Hu and southeastern places, including rhino elephants, rhino cows, bears and leopards, tigers and wolves, ferrets, shuffle foxes and other uncommon varieties in the Central Plains. In the past, rhino elephants, rhino cows, even cattle and sheep were required to be handed over. However, after the implementation of the new commercial law, the court no longer forced the fur goods to collect, but purchased from fur merchants as needed. After the large-scale disarmament, the demand for leather armor dropped sharply by half. The fur goods accumulated in warehouses in various parts of Daqin were enough to support hundreds of thousands of troops. In addition, after the conquest of the Hungary and Hu and Yuezhi, a large amount of fur goods flooded the Central Plains. Daqin was no longer short of materials for making leather armor. It was ripe for opening the fur market to meet the daily needs of the people.

At present, the people in Daqin have only one piece of clothing, mattresses, and if there is no fur to make clothes, it will be very difficult for the people in the northwest to survive in winter. Letting go of fur is also a very important method and means to solve the problem of keeping the cold of ordinary people in winter.

The fur area does not only sell fur, but also has a large number of colorful and precious feathers, red, yellow, blue and green. Many merchants use these feathers to make exquisite feather crowns and feathers, and wear them as cool as birds. This is not acceptable to Chen Xu, but a group of playboys like it. After a walk around the fur area, several playboys wore a feather crown. The long feathers swayed across the market, which was extremely eye-catching among the crowd, and only saw Chen Xu's head full of black lines.

"Hey, what kind of fur is this? It's so beautiful!"

In a shop called Xiyue Fur, a spotted snow-white leopard skin hanging on the wall aroused the attention and excitement of a group of dandy playboys. At this time, several guests in gorgeous clothes were gathering in front of the leopard skin to discuss silently.

"Get out of the way, I bought this leopard skin book!"

A playboy casually pushed away several men in gorgeous clothes, grabbed the leopard skin and shouted.

"Come first, then come, do you understand!" A man in a gorgeous dress looked glaring at him with his beard and glaring at him.

Gao Laosan was stunned for a moment and pointed at his nose and asked in confusion: "Do you don't recognize me?"

"You, the only one who dares to be a prince in Xianyang is the emperor's descendants. And I heard that all the princes are all well-mannered. You have feathers all over your head. Could it be that you are a bird?" Another man in gorgeous clothes with long hair and long beards and awesomeness also curled his lips and disdain.

"Wow, I'm so angry!" Gao Laosan jumped up in anger, rubbed his fists and was about to move his fists, but Chen Xu grabbed his wrist and said with a twitch, "Others are right. Shopping comes first and then arrives. If you have money, you can't buy it without money. If you force yourself to sell it like you, how can others do business!"

"This gentleman...is it...Qinghe Marquis?" One of the men in several gorgeous clothes looked at Chen Xu, and his face suddenly changed drastically.

"No, it's this marquis!" Chen Xu put down Gao Laosan's fist and smiled and nodded.

"It's really the Marquis of Qinghe. We don't know Mount Tai. I hope the Marquis will forgive you!" Several men in gorgeous clothes were surprised and hurriedly bowed together.

"Are you not from Xianyang?"

"No, no, we are a merchant from Liaodong. This time, we came to Xianyang under the order of the King of Liao. We planned to exchange medicinal materials and leather goods for some valuable items such as pens, ink, paper, inkstones, glass and porcelain that are scarce in Liaodong. Today, Cuju Commercial Plaza was opened, so we came together to open our eyes and also inquire about the price!" A middle-aged man who said that Gao Laosan was a birdman quickly bowed his hand and answered respectfully.

The King of Liao was naturally the prince Jianglu who was granted the title last year. Through the tone of a merchant, Chen Xu probably guessed that these people were all Northeastern merchants who defected to the King of Liao.

Liaodong is a bitter and cold place with a vast land and sparsely populated area, and there is not even a decent city. Although the Songnen Plain was the main grain-producing area in China in later generations, it is still a primeval forest. The Songhua River, sandwiched between Changbai Mountain and the Greater and Small Xing'an Mountains, the Nen River impact plain, is fertile and suitable for farming. But it has to be said that it is still an extra area now, and is located outside the Yan Great Wall. The population of the Qin Dynasty is not enough to migrate a large number of immigrants to develop.

The Liao King, who was sent to guard the Donghu, guarded such a large Fengshui treasure land, but he was not as good as the Liang King Ying Gao, because the Hexi Corridor was the only channel for the Qin Dynasty to attack the West and its geographical location was important, so the emperor was very concerned. The Emperor gave almost whatever he wanted. Not only did he arrange trade between the border, but he also ordered the three provinces and six ministries to mobilize a large amount of material support. After conquering the countries in the Western Regions, caravans were coming and going to each other almost every day. The Yuezhi guarded by the Liang King had become very lively, and the two counties, Wuwei and Dunhuang, had also begun to be built. In time, these two cities will become an important node between the East and the West, and prosperity is just around the corner.

But it is different in Liaodong. Not only the emperor looked down on him, but the civil and military officials in the court looked down on him, and even Chen Xu was a little bit despised.

The Northeast is different from the Western Regions. The Daxinganling area is now a completely primeval forest. However, no one knows whether there is any Siberian Plain in later generations. And it is even more primitive and barbaric. After killing the Donghu and the Xiongnu, there is no need to continue to expand outward. The main reason is that the population is insufficient, and even Liaodong cannot be completely controlled.

After he enfeoffed Lu to Liaodong, he arranged for envoys to come to Xianyang to seek the emperor's support several times, but the support was obviously very small, and some grandmas did not love his uncle. Therefore, the King of Liao could only earn money to support his family by himself, and arranged a large number of caravans to Zhongyuan to exchange for urgently needed supplies.
