Qingcheng County has only Dongcheng City, where most merchants in the city are concentrated here. There are many shops on both sides of Dongcheng Street, the two largest are Xinglong Ji in Shi Daxing and Longchang Ji in Hao Donglai.

It is said that it is two companies, but in fact it has opened many shops, including silk, porcelain, goods, and grain. Nowadays, most merchants are still very honest, and there are also those who are cheating. Ironically, businessmen who are brave enough to cheat are basically successful people, such as Shi Daxing and Hao Donglai.

The popularity of the prosperous times is no longer the simplicity of the Zhenguan year in the early Tang Dynasty. However, on the surface, prosperity is prosperity, which is incomparable to the Zhenguan year in the early Tang Dynasty.

Shuzhou is adjacent to Tubo in the west, to the Western Regions in the north, and to Nanzhao in the south. Although Qingcheng County is just a county town, the streets of Dongshi are also crowded. Hu merchants and Tubo merchants who come and go from south to north are holding camels and horses, wearing all kinds of strange clothes, and are red-faced with the merchants in the east. Occasionally, you can see irritable merchants taking action directly, beating and kicking the Hu merchants, scolding a few vulgar barbarians. Some of the Hu merchants fight back, and some swallowing their anger. In the end, both sides returned to the topic and continued to bargain.

Today's East City streets are particularly lively.

The friends of the two shops, Xinglongji and Longchangji, were beating the gongs at the door, attracting the Hu merchants to stop. There was a row of long tables in front of the door, and the tables were filled with porcelain of various shapes, from daily porcelain bowls and porcelain plates to decoration double-eared vases, Boshan incense burners, etc., most of the porcelain is celadon, which is reflected by the sunlight with smooth and soft light as glass-like texture, full and luxurious.

There is also a small plate next to the porcelain, with some pieces of porcelain on it. As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the tricks. Many passers-by were amazed by the gorgeousness and fineness of this batch of porcelain. There were already experts in the Hu merchants who came forward to pick up the pieces of porcelain and carefully looked at the inner tube of the fragments. After looking at it this way, they were reluctant to let go.

There is no need for exaggerated publicity, the quality of porcelain is obvious to the eyes of insiders. So the entrances of the two shops suddenly caused a sensation. Countless Hu merchants and Tubo merchants shouted loudly to meet the shopkeeper and talk about big deals. The prepared guys prepared wooden chops to send them to the merchants, fair and just, and lined up to call.

Everything is developing in a positive direction. In the inner courtyard of the shop, Shi Daxing and Hao Donglai are so happy that they can't stop talking about each other, looking at each other for a thousand years again, in the face of huge interests, the former hatred seems to have faded a lot.

On the turbulent streets of Dongshi, two men dressed as farmers stared at the row of porcelain in front of the two shops coldly. Looking at the Hu merchants scrambling to discuss business, the two men showed jealous eyes.

"This should be fired from the newly built porcelain kiln in Shiqiao Village, right?" asked a man.

Another man snorted, "I have always heard about Shiqiao Village for more than a month. I thought it was just a kiln for burning pottery. I didn't expect that even porcelain could be burned, and I also hooked up with two largest merchants in Qingcheng County."

"Brother, I heard that Shiqiao Village is short of staff. Many villagers in our neighboring village have gone to inquire. They seem to not accept miscellaneous work. They have given miscellaneous work to the villagers in their village. What they lack is craftsmen with craftsmanship and they do not collect randomly. It is said that they have to check the reputation and only collect the goods is based on their character. We are afraid that we can't get the share of the money... Shiqiao Village is getting rich, and many girls in our village's boudoirs secretly asked matchmakers to go to Shiqiao Village to say goodbye, alas."

The older man looked more and more jealous: "I heard it was a pottery kiln built by a kid named Gu Qing, and it was his idea to cooperate with the two merchants."

"Gu Qing? Could it be that he was the one he used to..."

"That's right, the boy who the Ding brother asked us to teach him a lesson. Later, he ran fast and we burned his house, and it was him."

The man was amazed: "A young man can do such a big thing, which is amazing!"

The older man seemed to be dissatisfied with his three views and frowned and said, "Where is it? He is just a teenager. He did something by accident. The Ding brothers are also useless. The big and round waisted man was actually dealt with by a small boy, but he even sold it. I thought about this for several days but couldn't figure out how he sold the Ding brothers."

Another man still looked at the crowds in front of him with envy, and sighed: "Even if I only do miscellaneous work, I still have a penny a day and still have a meal. If I take on this job, I will be happy to suffer any hardships. Save two months of money, and I will not be hungry next year even if I don't farm next year. Brother, can I find a way to ask someone to go to Shiqiao Village to talk? I work very hard."

The older man became more angry and snorted heavily, saying, "Don't forget that we have burned his house. The villagers of Shiqiao Village have seen us. Do you think he will agree? Besides, why do you want us to ask him for it? Isn't it enough to grab the things you like? No matter how rich Shiqiao Village is, there are only elderly people and widows in the village. We took some young and strong people over to make trouble, but are you afraid that Gu Qing wouldn't give us money?"

"This... isn't it good? If it gets a big deal, the government will not let it go. Gu Qing and the two businessmen have money. If we manage some things, we will suffer a big loss."

The older man's eyes flashed: "Then let's change the way. I heard from people from other villages that Gu Qing had a secret recipe for making porcelain from the kiln. He asked someone to have a fence around the kiln to prevent outsiders from checking. If we take the young and strong villages to the kiln, rushed in to see what happened, and then turned around and ran away. Even if we were in the county government hall, I didn't steal or rob it, and just looked at it twice, the county magistrate could not convict me of the serious crime. After I came out, I would build a kiln to burn porcelain as it was and found a businessman to work with him. Ha! Wouldn't it be nice to live a good life openly?"

Another man was stunned by his thoughts and stared at him for a long time without saying a word.

"The more I think about it, the better it is. Let's go and find people in the village, and find more young and strong people. I'm not afraid of the elderly, weak, sick and disabled people in Shiqiao Village who dare to stop us."

…………

Gu Qing came to the porcelain kiln many times, after all, he was idle. Apart from this only ceramic career, he spent his boring time with Song Gensheng and spent more boring time, so his behavior of passing boring time became boring.

Two adults can't squat under the tree every day to watch the ants move. It's interesting, but there's always a faint sense of shame.

So in addition to passing the boring time, Gu Qing mostly went up the mountain to deliver meals.

The kiln workers and craftsmen invited by Hao Donglai were arranged on the flat ground on the west side of the porcelain kiln, where houses were being built, and the porcelain kilns inside the fence were handed over to Uncle Han and some villagers in the village, all of whom were reliable in character. Uncle Han and the villagers' job was to add coal to the kiln.

There is a forbidden area inside the fence. Gu Qing told the kiln workers and craftsmen a long time ago that everyone knows that Gu Qing is not easy to mess with, and no one dares to disobey him. Uncle Han and craftsmen have always been unintervented when they get along with each other, and they don’t even eat together. The kiln workers and craftsmen run their own team.

Gu Qing mainly delivers food to Uncle Han and the villagers. After the Yang family’s mother and daughter prepare the meal, Gu Qing carried a load to the mountain, which was also considered Gu Qing’s exercise for himself. After coming to this world, Gu Qing discovered more and more that violence is actually very important. The way to increase his strength is to exercise, strengthen his physical strength, and make himself more violent.

Every time Gu Qing brought food up the mountain, Uncle Han looked flattered, rubbed his hands to meet him, hurriedly took over Gu Qing's burden, and kept saying polite words like "Thank you for your hard work in the boss, I'm sorry, I dare not take it."
