Chapter 611 Going home

Seeing that Nianyao had just eaten a little while, Qin Lei chatted with the man sitting next to him and said, "Brother, are you a single gang?"

The man took the last sip of mutton soup and nodded in satisfaction: "Well, I have little capital and can't buy much goods, so I don't need to hire anyone."

"Aren't you afraid of danger?" Qin Lei said with a smile: "Don't get me wrong, I just heard people say it's not easy to go to singles."

"It's okay. When you see that the young master is just a scene, how could you call me attention?" The man smiled honestly and then explained: "I didn't dare to do it either, but in recent years, the situation has been different."

"Why is it different?" Qin Lei smiled and said, "Boss, please add another bowl of mutton soup, double portions of meat and mixed meat to this brother."

"Young Master is so polite." The man grinned and took the hot mutton soup, and said more seriously: "Young Master doesn't know that this big carriage and horse carriage is the official property of Jingshan City. Their carriages are fast and can go to all parts of the country, but the price is a bit high. But there is an amazing advantage, that is, absolute safety." As he said that, he took a sip of the mutton soup and smacked his lips: "Who is not open-minded in his eyes and dares to fight Prince Wucheng's idea?"

It seemed that this problem was ridiculous, and the man shook his head and said, "It will never happen for five hundred years."

Qin Lei listened calmly and enjoyed it very much. Compared to directly praising, he felt that this completely unintentional compliment was more useful.

The man continued, "With the opening of the bus, I just need to spend more money and rent their car and I can safely go all the way. But it doesn't matter, I can just use it seven times and I can be promoted to a one-star membership, and I can get a 10% discount at that time." As he said, he was a little fascinated: "If I can be promoted to a five-star membership, it will be 60% off, which is much cheaper than the average bus."

Zhuang Die'er has always been doing the carriages and horses. Qin Lei has just come up with a few ideas, such as this "membership system", which is a super weapon to crack down on peers.

When Qin Lei thought of Zhuang Dieer and Shi Meng, he felt ache in his heart and hurriedly covered up, "Can you earn such a high cost?"

"Young Master said something interesting. If you don't make money, why would I be busy all day?" The man laughed and said, "Since the opening of Jingshan City, it's like opening a gold mine. Basically, as long as you are not lazy or stupid, everyone can make money."

"Really?" Qin Lei said with interest: "You might as well tell me how you make money?"

"No secret, I just transported cloth from Jingshan City to the north." Seeing that Qin Lei had so many burly men as bodyguards, the man was not afraid of it, but he just refused to say where he bought it. He counted with his fingers: "It costs 250 yuan to enter a cloth from Jingshan City; I can sell it to the north and sell it to 800 yuan, and deduct 1100 yuan in Jingshan City; 30% of the tax on the shipping site, 240 yuan, and deduct 100 yuan in freight and 45 yuan in food and accommodation. I can earn 140 yuan per piece of cloth."

"I can earn 40 pieces of cloth every time I buy ten pieces of cloth at a time, which is only one or two cents of silver." As I said, licking my lips, "But there are always some expenses, and I can't actually make so much, but it's a big difference, not less than one or two cents of silver."

"I can travel three times a month. If I deduct the first month of the year, I will only earn thirty-three times a year, and I can earn at least forty taels of silver a year." The young cloth vendor was immersed in a bright future and had completely forgotten that young master Luo Shizi: "By this time next year, I will save up 100 taels of silver, make the transaction bigger, and open my own shop in the future, and I will also be the boss..."

The man came out of his dream for a long time, and saw that the table next to him was empty. He wiped his saliva and said, "Where is the person?"

"I've left long ago..." The boss's wife laughed and scolded, "It's not over. I can't stand you, let alone that noble person?"

There was nothing to say all night. The next morning, the convoy continued to set off. Nian Yao already knew that the bustling town last night was just the midpoint between the "Jingshan City" and Zhongdu City. In fact, it was originally just a small village, but because too many business travelers were resting there, it developed into a considerable town in just two years.

Last night I heard that Jingshan City has developed into a big city with a population of over 200,000 in just over three years from scratch.

She also heard that after the Jingshui River canal was dredged, the Jingshanbu wharf was opened. All land rent was exempted there, and only the lowest eleven tax was imposed on the business from ancient times to the present, so that business travelers gathered, and every inch of land was worth every inch. Even the people of Zhongdu would travel for two days and come here to buy things without hesitation.

She also heard that the water diversion canal excavated to pour water into the canal has also irrigated thousands of hectares of fertile fields, and it will be a bumper harvest this summer, which is said to greatly alleviate the problem of domestic food shortage...

Wait... All this made her even more curious about the legendary Jingshan City.

At noon, we arrived within the area of ​​Jingshan City.

Looking at the farmer busy planting rice seedlings on both sides, Qin Lei said proudly: "In three years, even if we fight for years, I, Qin Qin, will not be short of food." Three years later, the south will almost be completely restored, so Qin Lei said this.

After walking through the pastoral scenery for an hour, the towering Jingshan City finally came to see. Qin Lei suddenly fell silent. This time, his fear of being close to home was particularly impressive.

Nian Yao's mind was completely attracted by the lively scene. She opened her eyes wide and looked at the bustling city gate. Although she was mentally prepared, she was still shocked by the big one. Although there were many people entering and leaving the city gate, the business travelers were obviously familiar with and accepted a certain order, which seemed very orderly... I saw ordinary single business travelers entering and exiting the second doors on both sides, and the large open main city gate was the main passage for large caravans and carriages to enter and exit.

There are also tax officers from Jingshancheng at the gate of the city, who are carefully checking whether the goods carried by the caravans and merchants in passing have paid taxes. Although these tax collectors and tax officers are serious, they are still polite. As long as they do not carry spy information, they only need to pay the tax in order to pay the extra tax. Of course, they need to pay fines for the large number... Of course, this is for first offenders. When they are caught for tax evasion for the second time, they will be thrown into Jingshancheng Prison and have a meal for a few days.

The carriages were divided into two rows, waiting for the tax officials to inspect, and everything was so harmonious and orderly.

Just when Nian Yao was deeply moved, a melodious bell suddenly rang in the city, followed by a rapid and rhythmic drum sound.

As soon as the bells and drums sounded, the tax collectors immediately stopped the work at hand and shouted: "Everyone pushed to both sides of the road and gave up the main door. Our prince is back..."

Originally, it should have been a very disappointing thing to be interrupted when entering and leaving the city, but when the business people heard that Prince Wu Cheng had returned, they were excited and excited, and did not need to organize themselves. They retreated to both sides of the road like a tide and gave out the spacious central bluestone road.

Two teams of soldiers wearing black armor and red cloaks ran out and stood neatly on both sides of the avenue.

Two more teams of soldiers rolled up scarlet carpets and quickly spread out from the city. In a blink of an eye, they passed through the city gate hole and stopped until Qin Lei's carriage.

"What the hell are these guys?" Qin Lei smiled and cursed while rushing to put on his dress, but his expression was very helpful.

But he was not very good at dressing, and he would be full of flaws when he was anxious. If Nian Yao hadn't been able to bear it and help him, she would have been embarrassed.

"Please enter the city!" A powerful voice shouted on the top of the city, and the neat and loud military horn sounded.

After tidying up the collar, Qin Lei grinned at Nianyao and said, "Are you handsome?"

Nian Yao was a little dazed and nodded weakly, giving him a satisfactory answer.

The car door was opened and Qin Lei slowly got out of the carriage.

"Welcome to the prince..." The sound of thundering and thundering from near to far, echoing over Jingshan City.

"Okay, I'm going home." Qin Lei fist tightly and whispered.
