To be honest, Taotang was indeed very prosperous. After all, it was a large international city-state in this period!
Yu Zai sighed! Tao Tang is not under Hongzhou!
Hey, you’ve flattered yourself.
There were many people leading the goods into the city. They walked along the main road, going downhill and uphill. There were people leading oxen, sheep, horses, pigs...
Even a giant from the Central Qin Kingdom appeared, leading a donkey.
Zhong Qin, like Great Qin, is a giant country in the Western Wilderness. The people of Middle Qin are shorter than the people of Great Qin.
However, the donkey is a "strange beast" in this era!
Yunzai stared at the donkey and couldn't move away. Compared to the substitute lamb, the donkey was the guy that was really suitable for work.
But unfortunately, there are too few donkeys in this era, and the only ones are imported. Most of them come from the west, mainly distributed in Central Asia and Xinjiang.
Do you know in the story about the donkey’s failure in Guizhou, why the tiger didn’t dare to eat the donkey at first?
The tiger spoke Northeastern dialect, while the donkey spoke a Sumerian accent. The tiger thought for a moment and realized that this accent was a little weird. He might not be an international friend...
Originally, the giant asked for fifty thousand shellfish, but when he brought it up, he immediately wiped a zero off it.
Your fifty thousand dollars are too little!
How big is Tao Bei? It’s not paper currency. Who would carry a safe when buying food at the market?
Hum, do you support QR code payment?
Then we talked again, and after a lot of scolding, the price became one hundred and fifty.
“No, look at this donkey, it’s not in good condition. What if it dies after buying it?”
Yu Zai used graphite to write three wooden signs. There is no word for donkey in the whole article. The focus is to describe the donkey’s bad condition, so all the words written on the wooden signs are "this creature"...
This wave is about buying donkeys.
The giant of Zhongqin was also confused. He looked at his donkey again and felt that it was indeed sick and his condition was not right...
As to why this donkey is so depressed...
On Yuzai's shoulders, two chicken heads were exposed, looking at the donkey solemnly and majestically.
The natural fear at the animal level instantly made this ordinary animal so scared that it dared not move.
This is also Yu Zai’s instruction.
This is part of the plan, Gugujiji.
“Okay…okay…okay…then fifty…ok.”
“Then let’s put it together, I’ll give you eighty, and you can give me a female, and I’ll tell you buy one, get one free, and I’ll come to your house next time.”
“It’s too much, brother...”
The people from Zhongqin wiped their sweat and asked, "Where are these Central Plains people from? I have never seen them be so good at bargaining. I secretly thought to myself that this guy is definitely not a native of Taotang."
"Wait a minute...I want to ask, the person behind you, is he a god? Is he for sale?"
The giant of Zhongqin stopped Ruzai, who had failed in her prostitution and was about to leave. He just thought that there were people leading animals and livestock, as well as people with dogs, but Ruzai was the only one to catch a god...
What a rare item!
Jie Shen, do you think...sell it?
The God of Five Households was so angry that he was about to change his profession to become the God of Fire. After thinking about it, Yanzai gave him a small porcelain, and at the same time expressed that this god was not for sale.
When the giant of Zhong Qin was looking at the porcelain in surprise, Ruan Zai had already led the donkey away. Ruan Zai was very happy to get the donkey, so he bought it for fifty Tao Bei. If the sea shells are worth one yuan, Tao Bei
One is equivalent to fifty cents!
Let's make money, let's make money with blood.
Yuanzai asked Ehuang to pay. Everyone here has his own bag to carry. Ruzai carries the equipment, Wenming carries the pot, Xiongtao carries the tools, repairs the planks, Chonghua carries the odds and ends, and Ehuang carries the money.
Yu Zai valued more than just this donkey. It would be better if he could get a female donkey. If he couldn't find a female donkey, he would buy the donkey and breed it to be used as a donkey tripod. There are many dwarf horses in the south. I believe that a mule can give birth to a donkey.
It seems that donkeys will be included in books on animal husbandry in the future.
They spent a day shopping in Taotang and saw all kinds of things. The original prosperity of the ancient market can be fully seen here.
Tea, grass ore, plows and pottery, coir raincoats, bamboo hats, rakes and stone mills, sticks, shovels and knives, wheeled carts, plank saws, cattle, sheep, pigs and horses, chickens, ducks and fruits, river fish and lake fresh food, honey venison, linen fur, rope and eggs
, pigments and salt, bone carvings and bronzes...
There are even food stalls.
As for the Hongzhou Market, it is no longer original, it has jumped out of time.
We all went to Chonghua's residence for free in the evening. When we arrived at Taotang, Lord Chizong's house was our house!
However, after everyone settled down, Chonghua still wanted to go back to Emperor Fangxun to report, so he left in a hurry, and Ehuang also said that he had to go back for something...
Yu Zai expressed his understanding. After all, Erhuang is just a small civil servant. Even Master Zhizong has to go back to check in. How can you not go back?
After leaving home, Chonghua and Ehuang went to the Imperial Courtyard—a particularly huge earthen house built on a small slope, close to the Grand Observatory.
During the Third Dynasty, the emperor's residence was just like this. There were no other conditions. Anyway, it was better than the ancient emperors who lived on the streets every day...
The Xia Dynasty enjoyed the pleasure of being a slave owner. By the middle of the Shang Dynasty, the house of Shang King Pangeng was even considered to be too simple by the people of the Shang Dynasty because it was very simple...
The two men soon met the emperor. Emperor Fangxun was slowly returning from the farmland and met them with several ministers.
Di Fangxun simply listened to the report and said that neither of you were interested in the south. Chonghua clicked on the advanced market economy, and you, Ehuang, reluctantly clicked on the geography major...
Although I don’t know the right major, I have also heard some things...
Once he heard that they were here for approval procedures, Di Fangxun immediately said that there was no big problem with this matter. Now all the ministers who should object have rebelled, so no one can oppose him. The chapter is with me...
"I object!"

Unexpectedly, someone immediately slapped him in the face at the speed of light. It was an old minister next to Di Fangxun, Bo Cheng Zi Gao.
"It cannot be decided so easily. Tens of thousands of tribal people live on water. Although they have destroyed water control, it is not due to changes in circumstances. The emperor should summon this person tomorrow, carefully inquire about the method of governance and settlement, and do a good job in the aftermath...
…”
Bocheng Zigao said more, but they were all things that should be considered. At the same time, he was dissatisfied with the emperor's performance. He believed that even if Chonghua and Ehuang, the emperor and the emperor's daughter were recommended at the same time, the emperor could not make a conclusion easily.
However, Di Fangxun cast a secretly delighted look at Bocheng Zigao.
In this wave, Emperor Fangxun is in the atmosphere.
I have long wanted to go out for inspections in an open and honest manner. Can I finally enter the construction site this time?
Di Fangxun nodded, but said nothing, which made Bo Chengzigao scratch his head vigorously, wondering if his speech was inappropriate...
The Queen Mother of the West also received the agenda for tomorrow's discussion. As for Marquis Tuan, her eyes lit up.
