Dayu County has a population of nearly 10 million.
If it were placed on the earth world, it would definitely be a metropolis! But in the Shenzhan Continent, it is just a small county town.
"Two copper coins per person."
The guard at the city gate said lazily that the entry fee was also paid on a case-by-case basis.
Hunters like Chen Hu and others who were dressed in animal skins were barbaric and poor, so the guards were too lazy to bother and would only charge the minimum entry fee.
Chen Hu stepped forward and took the initiative to pay the entry tax, and Ye Fan and his group entered the city first.
"Haha, the city is still lively."
Next to him, Chen Hu’s eyes lit up. He only entered the city two or three times a year, and he was very excited: “Mr. Ye, look, how many people are there on the street! There are vendors all over the street, you can’t even see the end at a glance!
Gee, when did you see so many vendors and so many fun things in our village?"
Ye Fan clearly felt the prosperity of ancient small towns.
There was a hustle and bustle with the cries of vendors, the shouts of stretchers, and the sounds of some inns and restaurants attracting customers.
"Everyone, we are country people. When we enter the city, we must not cause trouble unless necessary."
Chen Long glanced at everyone and reminded, "Even if you encounter some ruffians, try to stay as far away as possible.
We can't make trouble with the people in the city!
""Know!
"Everyone agreed.
"If you really have trouble, report it to the official. Although the army in the General's Office outside does not do much, in the county town, they are still more responsible.
Okay, when it gets dark, let’s gather in the small alley where we used to live. Let’s go together and sell goods in the market!
"Chen Long waved his hand, and ten of the twenty carts were sorted out.
The rest were pushed towards the market by twenty or thirty people.
Ye Fan was stunned, "Why are you just pushing those carts? There... there are six intact bear skins here, why don't you take them and sell them together?" "Haha, sir, I don't know.
Usually there are good goods, so we always go to Zhezhou Commercial Bank to exchange some money!
Chen Long gently patted the animal skins on a cart of goods, "These are all in good condition. We have been collecting these good things for a year, so naturally we have to make more!"
Not only us, but also hunters from our nearby villages will go there first to show people from Zhezhou Commercial Bank the good things in the village."
"They all go to Zhezhou Commercial Bank...they are very famous?" "Sir, don't you know, this Zhezhou Commercial Bank is the largest trading place in Zhezhou. It has branches everywhere and collects treasures everywhere.
The money you make is as rich as a country!
"When Ye Fan heard this, he nodded slightly.
Rich as a country?!
Well, I don’t know how much a teleportation array in the city costs.
Okay, let’s go to the Zhezhou Commercial Walk! Everyone smiled, pushed ten fur carts loaded with the best goods, and headed for the Zhezhou Commercial Walk.
Along the way, everyone looked here and there, but they didn't move around.
Everyone pushed the truck and walked into a quiet and wide street. There were very few people coming and going here. Ye Fan and his group were the most conspicuous on this street.
Chen Hu next to him suddenly laughed and said mysteriously: "Sir, don't look at the lack of people here now, but at night, this is the busiest place in the entire Dayu County.
Look, do you know where that three-story building is? Haha, you can’t guess that the women there have such tender faces that they can drip with water if you pinch them!
"Haha..." The villagers nearby laughed after hearing this.
"Chen Hu, you've only passed this street twice before bragging to your husband.
Have you really pinched those girls?" the older villager joked.
Chen Hu wiped his nose: "Who said I haven't been here? My elder brother... no... I have been there before. Unfortunately, this place is good, but it is too expensive.
Just to go in and have a cup of tea costs one or two silver!
It is said that if you want to find a woman, it will be extremely expensive and extremely expensive."
Everyone laughed and said: "Chen Hu, don't you think about it, these brothels around are the most upscale places in Dayu County, and major chambers of commerce have been built on the street.
What do you want to do as a poor person? Their customers are the big and wealthy businessmen.
Not like us."
"Chen Hu, if you want to taste what it's like to be a woman, go to the tofu shop in the small street where you came before. It only costs a lot of money to do it once."
Everyone talked more and more enthusiastically, Chen Hu's face turned red and he glared at everyone.
"Go! Go! Go!
"Chen Hu suddenly cursed, "I'm not going, this... I haven't married a wife yet."
"Okay, stop talking, we're at Zhezhou Commercial Bank ahead."
When Chen Long saw that his brother was really angry, he hurriedly stopped everyone.
The villagers also understood the seriousness and kept their mouths shut one after another.
Chen Hu groaned and rolled his eyes at everyone. He looked at those luxurious buildings with envy and couldn't help but swallowed.
"Sir, you are a person who has seen the world. Have you ever been to those places?" "No, no!
"Ye Fan was so embarrassed that he waved his hands repeatedly.
After walking for tens of meters, everyone came to a very wide avenue.
On this avenue, there are many towering pavilions and courtyards. The vermilion gates are three or four meters high, and the stone lions outside the gates are also very domineering!
"In this area, various chambers of commerce are located, among which Zhezhou Commercial Bank occupies the largest area."
Chen Hu pointed to a large house in front and said, "That's Zhezhou Trading Company."
Ye Fan opened his mind slightly, glanced over, and immediately took a breath, "Oh my god, this Dayu County town does not have a city wall behind Zhezhou Commercial Bank.
No, it's because this Zhezhou trading company is so big that the fence in the backyard has been extended to the side of the hill.
Hiss...the house of a chamber of commerce actually occupies one-third of Dayu County?!
"When we came to the door of Zhezhou Commercial Bank, the villagers were amazed.
This is indeed a very large house. The gate alone is more than ten meters wide and can accommodate twenty or thirty people walking side by side.
The two tall blue stone lions glowing with golden light at the door add to its power.
Chen Long sighed: "Rich people are different. Those two stone lions are both made of lapis lazuli. They are so big, and each stone lion must weigh ten thousand kilograms."
Huh... do the math, these two stone lions alone are worth thousands of taels of silver!
"Zhezhou Commercial Bank is rich and it is no lie.
“Country hunters, get away, don’t dirty the ground in front of our door!
"One of the four guarding men standing at the entrance of Zhezhou Commercial Bank walked out and shouted at Chen Long and the others.
Ye Fan stood in the crowd, his eyebrows suddenly raised, "So arrogant?!
"Sir, keep your voice down!"
These people are at least five times the limit of martial arts masters. If they heard about it, we would not be able to sell our work for food!
"Chen Hu was startled and quickly grabbed Ye Fan's arm.
Chen Long is also an old acquaintance, so he naturally knows the rules here, "Sir, we are delivering goods.
The second young lady said years ago that if we hunt the best furs in Chentai Village, we will bring them to her!
Haha, this is the token given by the lady, please take a look!
"With that said, Chen Long took out a small jade piece from his arms and handed it over respectfully.
"Second Miss?" The leading janitor frowned and said in a deep voice, "You guys go to the side door of the alley and wait. I will come into the house and let you know.
Remember, don’t make too much noise!
""Yes Yes Yes!
"Chen Long's face lit up and he quickly bowed in response.
When he saw the big man at the gate entering, he waved his hand and led everyone into the small alley next to them.
A group of people stood quietly at the side door and waited.
In just a moment, two men in black opened the door and walked out, glancing outside.
After seeing the goods in Chen Long's car, one of them said loudly: "You are from Chentai Village, right? OK, the four responsible people will come in, bring the animal skins with you, and keep your voice down!"
"As he said that, he turned around and walked ahead.
Chen Long frowned slightly, but he didn't dare to make any mistakes here, so he whispered, "Uncle Dong, Uncle Liang, Chen Hu, the four of us go in.
Others stay outside and are not allowed to run around!
"Wait, I'm going too!"
"Ye Fan stepped forward and took Chen Long's arm.
"Don't worry, if they ask, just tell the truth.
I am a scholar, so I can help you read it so that you don’t suffer a little loss!
"Chen Long was stunned and thought to himself that what Ye Fan said was not bad.
It's not a big deal if there is one more person. Besides, having a scholar by their side makes them feel more at ease.
So, a group of five people entered the side door of Zhezhou Commercial Bank.
When the two men in black saw five people coming in, they immediately shouted in a low voice, "Didn't I tell you four to come in? You, get out!"
"As he said that, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Ye Fan.
"Haha, don't be surprised, you two.
Students have heard of the name of Zhezhou Commercial Bank for a long time, but unfortunately they have been studying all year round and have never had the chance to contact it.
How could you give up this opportunity after finally getting it? Don’t worry, the students will not break the rules of Zhezhou Commercial Bank!
"Are you a scholar?!"
"The two men in black were shocked. This handsome young man wearing animal skins was actually a scholar.
Hey, he really has a different temperament from other people, but I haven’t noticed it yet!
"Forget it, just come in with them, keep your voice down and don't make any noise!
"The man in black turned around and coldly led Ye Fan and the others towards the other end of the courtyard.
However, this time the tone was much more polite.
The grand entrance hall outside the chamber of commerce is just the tip of the extravagant iceberg of the chamber of commerce. Once you enter the chamber, you will understand the life of a wealthy businessman.
“Sir, it’s so big here!
"Chen Huhu's eyes widened, and the other four people also gasped.
The roads in the yard are all paved with huge bluestones and are very regular.
How much manpower does it take to create so many uniform bluestones? Many of the various plants and flowers nearby are not local to Dayu County and are definitely transplanted from the ground. There are also various water systems such as large ponds nearby, and even artificial ones.
The built spring flows.
"If you are really rich, there will be no more luxurious villas or estates than this in future generations."
Ye Fan secretly thought in his heart, "And this is just a branch of the Chamber of Commerce! Well, well, the greater the power, the wider the network of connections. Maybe I don't have to go everywhere to find the teleportation array!"
The buildings in the Chamber of Commerce are large mansions, just like building many different palaces in the imperial palace.
Ye Fan and the others followed the two men in black, turning left and right, and finally stopped in front of the door of a courtyard with a heavy aroma of books.
