In Jingguo, merchants from Qi and Jingguo were naturally treated differently.
Doubling the tax rate is normal.
In fact, in Qi State, the prevailing laws for doing business in other countries are even more stringent.
But even this was enough for the businessmen of Qi State to express their gratitude to this young man from Jing State. If it weren't for him, their trip would have been in vain for more than half a year. Some of them even had to
He will lose all his family wealth.
At the same time, I was secretly glad in my heart that I was following Miss Lin this time and not someone else. Thinking of the attitude of the doctor just now, who would have thought that the Lin family not only had hands and eyes in the Qi Kingdom, but also had such skill in the distant Kyoto of the Jing Kingdom.
Lin Wanru and Lin Yong went up and simply packed up the things in the room, and left the rest to the accompanying Li family guards.
As for the several shopkeepers and clerks who came with the Lin family, they still stayed in the inn temporarily to handle the goods brought from Qi.
When there was nothing going on, Li Yi turned to look at them and said, "It's still early, how about I take you for a walk around Kyoto?"
Lin Wanru nodded without any hesitation and said: "I had known that Kyoto was so prosperous that even the capital of Qi State could not compare with it. If we have the chance to meet you this time, of course I have to take a good look at it. I'm sorry to bother you..."
"You're welcome." Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Then let's leave now. After wandering around for more than an hour, it's time to go back."
The reason why Kyoto is Kyoto is not only because it is the suburb of the emperor, where the imperial city is located, and the center of power of the entire Jingguo, but also because of its extremely prosperous commerce.
For Lin Wanru and Lin Yong, there are too many things here that they could not see in Qi.
For example, in a shop that sells women's intimate items, there are occasionally men around. These people are in such an environment, but they can still keep their expressions on their faces and make comments with the female companions around them from time to time.
Lin Yong also watched Li Yi walk in, and the man named Fang followed him without changing his expression, and then he walked into the store with confidence.
But then, he was dazzled by all kinds of colorful small objects that he had never seen before. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look anymore, and hurriedly backed out.
Li Yi looked back at him and was not surprised by Lin Yong's actions.
In fact, even among men in Kyoto, the vast majority still do not have the courage to step into an underwear shop.
Of course, in the past year, it is not ruled out that some people with avant-garde ideas and artistic hearts want to use their discerning eyes to personally pick out one or two favorite clothes for their female companions...
Lin Wanru was just a simple businessman at this time. At the beginning, when Li Yi followed her and looked at these women's underwear with her, her face turned red, but it soon became natural.
When she stopped at a certain shelf, Li Yi asked: "How is it?"
Lin Wanru said in surprise: "What is it like?"
"The feeling of this place."
She was startled, then looked around and said: "Both the fabrics and the weavers are of very high quality. Although there are many styles, each one is very beautiful. You can see the designs..., these things
People put their heart into it, so it is not surprising that it is welcomed and sought after by women all over the world. It is no wonder that although there are so many people imitating it, it is rarely successful."
"Unless we reach cooperation with them, it will be difficult to imitate." Lin Wanru shook her head and said, "Let's go."
Li Yi nodded, then turned to look at a girl following them, pointed at a few items that Lin Wanru had been looking at for a long time, and ordered: "Wrap these for this girl."
Lin Wanru was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No, I'll just take a look..."
Li Yi waved his hand and said: "You're welcome. Speaking of which, I haven't officially given you anything yet. Now that you've come to Kyoto, you have to let me do my best as a landlord, so don't refuse."
Lin Wanru looked at him and said in surprise: "Is it the custom in your hometown to give these to a woman for the first time?"
"This... is not the point." Li Yi shook his head and said: "When we were in Qi State, you always gave us things. This time, please don't be polite to me."
"Girl, it's wrapped."
The girl smiled and handed over a cloth bag embroidered with several willow leaves. Lin Wanru then noticed that many women in the store were carrying bags like this. The material of this handbag was excellent and it looked good-looking.
, no wonder the underwear here is so expensive, you can get a glimpse of it just from the handbags they give away.
Li Yi smiled slightly at the girl, then turned back and said, "Let's go, go out and see other things."
"I haven't paid yet..." Although Li Yi just said it was for her, Lin Wanru still took out her wallet and was about to ask the girl the price. Li Yi on the side waved her hand gently and said: "My shop
,you are welcome."
"ah?"
Lin Wanru almost dropped the purse in her hand to the ground, looked at him blankly, and murmured: "This shop..., is it yours?"
Ever since Lin Yong learned that the shop selling women's underwear just now belonged to Brother Li, he would always have an illusion when he looked at him again.
It was as if there was a halo above his head, and things like women's bellybands and bras were flying around the halo...
Lin Wanru was walking on the street, and finally recovered from what happened just now, and said, "There is a tailor shop here."
After a while, when she saw the girl in the shop handing over a familiar handbag and the willow leaves on it, she turned to look at Li Yi and murmured: "This..."
Li Yi looked at her, nodded and said: "This... you're welcome."
Lin Wanru finally understood this time that any store with a willow leaf logo would be welcome.
After walking half a street, she found that not only were you welcome at the lingerie and ready-to-wear shops, but also at the cloth shop, perfume shops, soap shops, wine shops, candy and pastry shops, and even the Home Inn where they stayed yesterday.
.
This even gave her the illusion that she was welcome to buy anything in Kyoto.
The Lin family has been businessmen for generations, and they have once been prominent and glorious. They have met many wealthy businessmen, but even those people can't compare with the scene she saw with her eyes today...
"Miss, we have been shopping for a long time, should we find a place to rest?" Lin Yong looked around, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he said: "There is a hook bar in front, how about we go inside and listen to a play, I
I heard that the drama in Jingguo Goulan is very exciting..."
Lin Wanru's mind was a little confused at the moment, and she wanted to find a place to clear her mind. What's more, Lin Yong's body was already covered with things, so it would be a good idea to find a place to rest.
She turned back to look at Li Yi for advice, and seeing Li Yi nodding, she said: "Well, I've only heard about Jing Guo's Gou Lan, and I just saw it today."
When she walked into Goulan, she paused in her steps, as if she remembered something, then stepped back outside and looked up.
The beautiful willow leaf mark is right on top of the head, which is particularly eye-catching.
"Go in and listen to whatever show you want." Li Yi came over from behind and said, "You're welcome."
