Chapter 105: marketplace

Chapter One Hundred and Five
The prosperity of Lingzhou City is definitely not inferior to that of Jingshi. Due to the stimulation of a large number of smuggling of illegal goods and stolen goods, it is even better than Jingshi in terms of market prosperity, but it is much worse in terms of cultural gathering.
Along the way, I saw the "XX Martial Arts Hall" most often, and there were also signs of "XX Gate", some of which were quite impressive. Correspondingly, the largest number on the market is weapons shops, pill shops, and so on.
Casinos, black pits, and private kilns are everywhere. Unlike the capital's plan, it looks a little messy.
In addition, there are also a lot of inns. After all, the number of foreign merchants here is probably the largest in the world.
The market was bustling with noisy voices. Xue Mu casually sprinkled silver and bought a batch of jewelry for the girls, which the girls accepted with a smile. Zhuo Qingqing also laughed at a Zhuchai, and tentatively asked Xue Mu: "The son is observing the well in Lingzhou?"
"Almost, I probably understand." Xue Mu smiled and said: "I really want to observe. It is not enough to go around for a day or two. You may have to accompany me often in the future."
Zhuo Qingqing laughed: "There are many things you can ask us directly. Several of us have been in Lingzhou for many years."
"That's why the Sovereign assigned you to me." Thinking of Qiankun Bag, Xue Mu thought of a question that he hadn't paid attention to before, and asked: "Lingzhou is a place of commerce and trade. There are a lot of merchants from all over the country, and money is carried. How to deal with it? After all, there are not many people who can use the Qiankun bag... Is there a money bank for remittance?
Zhuo Qingqing was dumbfounded by the question. This problem is really not the thinking of ordinary people in the rivers and lakes, it is also difficult for the ruling and the opposition. Only those merchants who have experienced the inconvenience of carrying a lot of money will think of this. I really don't know what the son did before.
"Remittance in a different place cannot be achieved." Zhuo Qingqing answered carefully: "No one dares to open a money bank on the territory of another sect. They can only open money in their own sphere of influence, even in a small area."
"Nor to the court?"
"Once the court money line was stolen by Tianzong, six doors were helpless..."
"Tsk, Xiahoudi this vegetable..." Xue Mu mourned for Xiahoudi for a moment, and then asked: "So, people can only travel with a lot of money? Isn't it a big risk."
"Yeah, the is eating this bowl of rice." Zhuo Qingqing said with a smile: "Rambling Road is just the opposite, eating robbery."
Dare to love and form a natural ecology, right... Xue Mu said, "Then where do people put things when they arrive? An inn?"
"This can be put in the local money bank." Zhuo Qingqing said: "I know that the capital has it, but it is an official office. There are also several in Lingzhou, but it is not clear elsewhere. By the way, Yanyang Sect does this business in Lingzhou. , Borrowing other people’s deposits with them and lending usury to other people in order to make a profit."
Xue Mu's eyes lit up: "There are such talents in Yanyang Sect! Whose idea is this?"
Zhuo Qingqing obviously didn't have any good impression of that person, and sneered: "Pu Xiang, a shameless and lustful fat man."
"You know?"
"I know, when we didn’t split up, everyone was an outside disciple. Pu Xiang was only ten years old at that time. He was already famous for being lazy and greedy for money and profit. There was no achievement in martial arts. Squintingly looked at the sisters and sisters, asking me to say that this kind of stuff should have been expelled from the sect! After the separation, the Yanyang Sect was waiting to be reborn, and there was no one who had no money. Reuse."
"You guys..." Xue Mu said with a smile: "I really don't know what it means to use eclectic talents, no wonder the days are miserable."
Zhuo Qingqing said: "The son looks at this person so highly?"
Xue Mu smiled: "You think this person is vulgar, but you forget that the Yanyang Sect was swept out of the house back then. If there is no such person, how can you develop without money and rice?"
Zhuo Qingqing glanced at him, curling his lips and said: "Not everyone can have the grandeur of the son."
This inadvertently revealing the light and mature style, but saw Xue Mu's heart moved, and didn't want to tease, so he didn't turn his head and changed the subject: "You said, if I cooperate with Xiahoudi again, it is feasible for Jingshi and Lingzhou to exchange. Huh?"
Zhuo Qingqing stayed for a while, and smiled bitterly: "Qingqing doesn't know about these things. If there is such a strategy, Qingqing will not only be responsible for the disregard of the capital division of the rudder."
The two murmured for a long time, making the other guards next to them full of jealousy. At this time, a girl squeezed in and asked with a smile: "Does the son like being older than himself? So is the suzerain, and so is Sister Qing... …"
Zhuo Qingqing turned her head awkwardly. Xue Mu couldn't laugh or cry. When discussing business matters, don't you talk to someone who is a little old and experienced and has done management. Could you talk to you gang of little fairies who are decorated by rouge, gouache, jewelry, hairpins besides martial arts?
At this moment, there was a tumult ahead.
Xue Mu and others stopped to look, only to see a fat man in a robes leading a dozen big men carrying knives and swords, and a group of people swaggered to pat the door of a big house, shouting: "Pay the debt!"
Zhuo Qingqing whispered: "That fat man is Puxiang. Wearing a stubborn Taoist gown, he claims to be a real person."
Xue Mu moved in his heart and asked, "Is it normal for Lingzhou to call on the door to collect debts like this?"
"If there are IOUs in black and white, it is indeed a rule. The rules of the rivers and lakes to pay off debts are justified."
"Tsk, it's..." Xue Mu laughed dumbly, this Lingzhou is indeed very arrogant.
Looking closely at the gate of the mansion, it turned out to be a sect. There were two stone tigers at the door, carved in awe-inspiring majesty, and a large plaque on the door was inscribed with the inscription "The Gate of the Fierce Tiger".
Xue Mu felt a bit of nostalgia. At that time, when he entered Beijing with Yue Xiaochan, the first thing that attracted attention, wasn't it a disciple of the Tiger Gate competing with others to make friends... At that time, Yue Xiaochan said that this third-rate sect had also produced excellent disciples, which was quite touched. .
Unexpectedly, when I came to Lingzhou, I went shopping for the first time and saw Tiger Gate again. It was a bit fate.
More fate is here... the door opened, and a big man strode out like a tiger, his eyes wide open, his beard like a sword, and angrily said: "Puxiang! Everyone is the same in the world, don't force people too much! My master is already ill in bed, so can't I allow any more time limits?"
This is surprisingly the one that Xue Mu had seen, and he looked more cordial...
But when he saw Pu Xiang rolled his eyes: "Just for the sake of the same people, the real person has been allowed three days of grace."
"But you are still very profitable these three days!"
"Please, the real people are lending money, not opening a shantang."
"My master was deceived by you for borrowing!"
"You can't talk nonsense about this." Pu Xiang shook out an IOU and said with a smile: "Killing and paying for life, debts and repayment, in black and white, you can't escape a reason even if you talk all over the world."
The man was full of anger, his majestic arm muscles bulged high, and he was obviously very angry. After a long time, he reluctantly said: "I just returned to Lingzhou next time, please give me three more days of grace, and I will raise money."
Pu Xiang smiled and said, "Three days after three days, how many three days are there. You have to settle the profit first, right?"
The big man said angrily: "You have pulled out even the grass inside the door! Where can the money be paid for you!"
Pu Xiang smiled and said: "This house is not bad, if it is paid to the real person, even the original profit will be counted."
"This is the ancestral home of this sect!" The big man said angrily: "If your Yanyang Sect is going to destroy my fierce tiger sect, you might as well say it!"
"Oh, the real man is a businessman, and he makes money with kindness, and he doesn't mention anything about destruction." Pu Xiang said with a smile: "Why else, I heard that your teacher is pretty..."
"Boom!" The big man couldn't bear it, a violent tiger-shaped whistling out, Pu Xiang rolled out on the spot, and several men behind him came out with their swords, collided with the tiger, and then all fell off and flew out. Fell to the ground.
Xue Mu gave a secret compliment. It is indeed too much suppressed under the Jingshi Wuwei Array, this man's prestige at this moment is much stronger than the original ring...
At this moment, a dazzling blazing sun from the sky crashed, and the dazzling light of the sword struck the big man.
"Feng Lieyang!" The look of the big man changed. This man had left Lingzhou to travel north and south for many years. When did he come back?
He knew that there was an absolute gap between himself and a world hero like Feng Lieyang, and it was almost impossible to beat him. Seeing that the light of the knife was about to hit, the big man was waiting to fight his way out, and an angry shout came from the other side of the long street: "Stop all the head catchers!"
There are twists and turns, it’s really time to go shopping today... Xue Mu turned his head with interest and saw a big fat man who was fatter than Pu Xiang rolling all the way like a ball, with a speed and incomparable speed. , Like a shell out of the chamber, in the blink of an eye.
