Haiyan City is famous for its salt production, and its biggest business is naturally salt. However, 70% of this business is in the hands of government officials and merchants, and only 30% is in private hands.
Salt, of course, is a big profit. But it is almost impossible for an outsider to get a foothold in this industry.
In addition to salt, there are some seafood.
Fresh seafood, dry goods, and all kinds of pearls![
Naturally, there are other industries as well, but there are fewer of them. But in comparison, they are nothing special!
Yan'er walked around with Ke Ao and Gu Ci for several days, and saw the entire Haiyan City. Yan'er didn't have any ideas, so he spent a lot of money to buy a lot of things. He decorated the yard almost
.
But the two of them still had no decision.
After more than ten days, the two of them seemed to have made a decision. But they didn't say anything to Yan'er... Ke Ao would tell her some interesting things from time to time, and talk about what interesting and fun things he heard.
of?
"I heard that there is hydrangea throwing here. Whoever the hydrangea is thrown on the head, the woman will marry..." In the Tang Dynasty, there has never been such a thing. Therefore, for Ke Ao, this is really the first
What's new.
Not only was it new to Ke Ao, but it was also new to Yan'er. She had heard of this kind of thing, but had never seen it before.
So, on the actual day of the event, she and Ke Ao went to grab seats early to watch the excitement.
There is a high platform, and a woman throwing a hydrangea stands on the platform. All men who participate need only one condition, they are unmarried. But the condition for participation is to pay ten taels of silver.
How much is ten taels of silver? It is not much for this country. But for many people, it is also a lot.
Therefore, this can also be regarded as a criterion for measuring whether a man has the ability to marry a wife and support her.
However, when the women throwing the hydrangea stood up one after another, Yan'er became curious.
"Why are there so many?"
They had inquired about the ancient poems before, and now they said: "It is said that these women are slaves of wealthy families. They are old enough to marry, have no husband's family, and are unwilling to marry their masters.
The selected man is then left to Tianding... So there is such an activity of throwing hydrangeas here every year. It is said that this year there are 18 women who want to throw hydrangeas!"
"The world is truly vast and full of wonders."
"No!" Gu Ci agreed very much.
Yan'er looked at the woman who pulled up first. How old was she? She looked like she was only fifteen or sixteen years old. But for a woman, she was indeed older. The women here were also about the same. She made a reservation with her husband's family at the age of thirteen or four.
, you will definitely get married at fifteen or sixteen.
These are the slaves of a wealthy family, and there is civil strife in the wealthy family. If they are not distributed early, they may be taken away by the male master of the family... Especially these, all of them are very beautiful!
"Master Gu?"
The sudden sound brings some surprise.[
Yan'er looked around and saw two men walking over quickly leading a few servants.
"The young master of the Lord of Haiyan City and his classmate. Unidentified!" Ke Ao stood beside Yan'er and introduced her with his head lowered.
Yan'er glanced at the two of them. They were both clear-eyed people and not annoying!
Gu Ci also came up to greet them. The place they were in was originally the outer corridor on the second floor of a teahouse. There were no so-called private rooms, and everyone was chatting and watching the show together.
Yan'er and the others were originally in a corner. At this time, Ke Ao turned around and directly blocked Yan'er inside, while Gu Ci took the initiative to greet them and stopped at a certain distance away from Yan'er.
