Chapter 2167 East and West Market (Part 1)

The ship owner thought for a while and said, "This east city is located in the east of the city and close to the official residence area. It was originally opened for those nobles. The market is not large and is composed of tic-shaped characters. However, the things inside are relatively expensive and are almost exclusively for wealthy officials and families. Because they are close to the official residence, although there are some houses nearby, the prices are quite high."

"Why is the West Market called the Water Market? It's impossible to trade on water!" Lin Haoming asked.

"Of course not. The reason why Xishi is called Shuishi is entirely because the Fengling River is where the Fengling River flows. Because there are two small rivers in a very close position, it forms the intersection of the three rivers. Originally, there was a dock in the city, but with the development of time, shops gradually appeared on both sides of the river, so the market naturally formed. Because there are many merchants from all walks of life and the number of goods, overall, the number of goods is much more than that of Dongshi. However, the quality of the things is uneven, and if you are not familiar with them, you can easily be deceived or slaughtered! As for the houses there, although they are not cheap, they are indeed much cheaper than those of Dongshi!" The ship owner introduced in detail.

After explaining, the ship owner remembered something and asked: "Customer, I don't know how big the house you need is, what are the requirements for the layout of the house?"

"It doesn't need to be too big. It can accommodate these people on my boat, plus a dozen servants and maids. Of course, it's better to have a pond garden in the backyard!" Lin Haoming said.

"Oh! Guest, you are such a noble person. Such a large house is not small anymore. It is still difficult to find in the west city, and the price in the east city is not low. If I had not made a mistake, I would like to mention such a large house to you, so I would not have to ask for this number!" The ship owner stretched out five fingers and said.

"Five Hundred Crystals!" Lin Haoming guessed.

"Yes, if you are in the west city, you really have the house you need, you can buy it in more than 300!" The ship owner added.

"Why are so much different?" Lin Haoming asked.

"This is because there are mixed fish and dragons in the west city, and it is still a bit messy. Although the city guards strictly monitor it, it is not better than those who come from the neighborhood." The ship owner said.

"Oh! The market is the most important thing in a city. Why is it still like this even if the city guards are strictly supervised?" Lin Haoming asked.

"Hi! The Earth Thief City is close to Nanzhou, and there are often people from Nanzhou who come here. They say that when I first gave birth to Ruier, I happened to send a guest to Xishi. As a result, I saw several experts from Shenxuan Realm who fought in Xishi. One of them was from Nanzhou. This person was actually a wanted criminal from Nanzhou. I thought it would be safe to escape from Nanzhou. Who would have thought that it would be seen through when I relaxed my vigilance. At that time, I was far away. Later I realized that because of the extremely Shenxuan Realm masters fighting, there were hundreds of tourists in the nearby businesses and injured!" The ship owner said, as he seemed to feel the horror at the beginning.

"If you are a wandering criminal, there will be no one from time to time!" Lin Haoming continued to tentatively say.

The ship owner immediately replied: "Of course, it is not just this. The supplies robbed by the three major water bandits in our Dizi City also need to be taken. Sometimes they will appear in the West City, which will inevitably cause some trouble!"

"According to what you said, the West City is not good, and this thief city does not seem to be very stable!" Lin Haoming said thoughtfully.

The ship owner seemed to have been opened by Lin Haoming, especially Lin Haoming had promised to take his ship, and said in a word: "This cannot be said that the Dizhe City is unstable. For the entire Dizhe City, the counties below are even more chaotic, and there are more three major water bandits. And as long as you don't do some risky things, your life is relatively comfortable. After all, the laws of heaven are placed there, and it is impossible to really be a decoration."

"So, the officials of Dizi City are pretty good. Why did I hear that the city lords here often change people?" Lin Haoming brought the topic to something he cared about more.

"Hey! This is for those adults!" The ship owner said subconsciously and suddenly realized something was wrong. He immediately changed his words with a smile: "Of course! Guest Master, you are also an adult. If you say this, you have indeed changed a little more, but now this person has been in the Dizhe City for almost a thousand years, so it is safe!"

"What about the people below? Why did the bandits suffer so much?" Lin Haoming asked.

"We don't know this, but in my opinion, although some rules are not very good, we won't do some excessive things. After all, if the Tian Law Firm is in, it's still very troublesome if someone sues him. Once he becomes a person who is in a crime, it will be over!" The ship owner said from his perspective.

Lin Haoming knew that he was in a different position from the ship owner, and it was difficult to know what he wanted to know directly from him. He could only touch indirectly and go back to think about it. But even so, Lin Haoming still asked: "Before coming, I heard that the Zeng family was the owner here!"

"You are right, you see, have you seen it?" The ship owner pointed to the bow of his ship and said, "This ship was built by the Zeng family. Half of the Zeng family can stand here for such a long time because of the shipbuilding. It can be said that half of the larger ships in the entire Dizi City were built by the Zeng family. Without the Zeng family, there would be no such prosperous water exchange. The Zeng family naturally became important!"

Lin Haoming also understood why the person in the Zeng family who was the head of the worker, Zeng Huaili. Obviously, the candidate for the head of the worker, except for the Zeng family, was really a bit unworthy of the name.

"Is there nothing else in the Zeng family except for shipbuilding?" Lin Haoming continued to ask.

"Of course this is not. Most of the teahouses, restaurants, and inns in the city either belong to the Zeng family or the Zeng family has a shareholding. I heard that the same seems to be true in other counties! The inn we are going to go to later also belongs to the Zeng family. Because tomorrow, you will go to see the house, so I will take the guest to the inn near Dongshi to stay!" The ship owner specifically reminded.

"good!"

Lin Haoming agreed with a smile, and then talked to the ship owner about some seemingly insignificant trivial matters. After more than an hour, the group finally docked.

Lin Haoming directly gave the ship owner three Shi Jing. In addition to today's boat rental, he also had a deposit for the next few days.

When the boat owner saw that the guest was so generous, he was immediately happy. He smiled and put Shi Jing away and promised to wait at the dock here tomorrow morning.

The inn is less than a hundred feet away from the pier. After Lin Haoming got ashore, he headed straight to this inn called Dongyue Inn.

When the group walked into the inn, they saw a group of people dressed in Nanzhou who were asking about the room at the counter.
