System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

After finally squeezing into the West Market, there were even more people in the market.

"Niu Da, what are the specialties of Bashu? Just take us there." Yan Shou decided to bring a group of guards next time and have a good visit to the Western Market.

Niu Da is so familiar with this area that he can know the directions of the shops with his eyes closed.

"Let's go, let's take you to see the well salt first."

Yan Shou was not interested in well salt. Qi State had an abundance of sea salt. Although it tasted bitter, it was plentiful and cheap.

The merchants of the State of Zhao were very interested in well salt. Everyone knew that selling salt made money.

Well salt is available everywhere in the West Market, from the very cheap coarse salt to the more expensive refined salt. Zhao Guoxingshang silently added salt to his shopping list!

Yan Shou also felt that the price of refined salt was very good, but it was not worth traveling all the way to sell it. He did not need to earn such hard-earned money.

What Yan Shu pays attention to is another item - sugar!

The candy in Bashu is dark red in color and comes in square pieces, which is very suitable for carrying.

"This is called brown sugar, also called brick sugar. It is one of the best-selling items in Bashu." Niu Da was already used to the large pieces of brown sugar.

At first, brown sugar was in small pieces. Later, sugar merchants felt that it was difficult to carry and easy to lose, so they gave feedback to the sugar factory. In just one month, the new brick candy from the sugar factory became popular in Bashu.

"You actually put the precious candies randomly like this?" Yan Shou was heartbroken. Such beautiful candies should be put in jars and kept well!

The candy seller was so busy that he replied without raising his head: "There are too many candies, I can't put them down."

The businessman from Zhao State covered his chest, what a sarcastic statement! Look at the small shop, but it is so powerful!

After watching the candy, Niu Da took them to a huge shop. There were many customers in this shop, but there was no noise. Everyone was careful, for fear of breaking something.

"This is a porcelain shop. It was originally a product of the Song family's pottery shop. Later, because it was too popular, the Song family separated the pottery and porcelain." Niu Xiao introduced in a loud voice.

However, Yan Shou and the merchants from Zhao had already been completely distracted by the porcelain on the shelves!

If the porcelain produced by Taoshi for the first time had only a slight glaze, then the porcelain now on sale would have met the standard definition of porcelain for later generations.

Placed in the center of the shelf and the most eye-catching thing is a white porcelain lamp. It is as white as snow, as bright as a mirror, as smooth as jade, and as transparent as a juan. The glaze is pure and warm, not impetuous and frivolous.

"The moon is caged in jade ice, and the light is sparkling in the snow. This is the evaluation of white porcelain by Lord Junwei." Niu Da murmured.

No matter how many times I see this white porcelain lamp, the shock in my heart gets stronger every time.

What kind of miraculous craftsmanship is required to create such an immortal product!

Yan Shou also thinks so: "Damn! I don't have enough money!"

Yan Shou came to Bashu with a mission. He originally thought that bringing a few hundred gold and a caravan of goods would be enough for the trip.

Unexpectedly, Bashu is a gold-selling cave, and there will be times when there is not enough money!

"Let's go, this is not what I should see." The businessman from Zhao Guo gritted his teeth and his heart was bleeding.

Niu Da looked back reluctantly, and then led everyone to another shop that was crowded with people.

"Bai Sujuan, 500 yuan a piece. Bai Lian, Bai Ling, 600 yuan a piece. Burlap, 150 yuan. Cash on hand, no credit!" A servant shouted at the door of the store.

Yan Shui's footsteps paused, like a rusty robot, and he poked inside, "How much is it?"

The merchants of Zhao State also plucked their ears in disbelief, Bai Sujuan? 500 money?

Don't say anything, just rush in and take a look!

Bai Su in the shop, Bai Lian put it on the counter and openly let people watch.

"This quality is top-notch! The top-quality Bai Sujuan sells for 1200 yuan! Can you really give it to us for 500 yuan?"    "And Bai Lian, etc., the quality is far better than 1000 yuan!"

"This burlap costs 250 yuan!"

The businessmen are crazy and want to exchange all their wealth for silk cloth!

Silk cloth is different from other commodities. It has some monetary properties! Usually the price difference between different places is about 100 yuan.

Here, it’s half price! Oh my god, Commander Xu is so generous? Isn’t this just giving money to the big guys?

Could it be that she wanted to use money to silence everyone? Well, of course it works!

Yan Shou also feels that many fish are spending money to buy people's hearts. After all, eating people is short-mouthed and taking people is short-handed. The business aspect is really controlled by her, but she doesn't know if her family can withstand such a big deal.

"Didn't you say that hundreds of schools of thought are going to discuss Taoism in Bashu? Where are they? When will it start?" the Zhao merchant asked gossiping.

Before Niu Da could answer, the surrounding guests began to chatter.

"I heard that as soon as they arrived, they went straight to the academy and quarreled there all day and night, but nothing came of it. In the end, Commander Xu had no other choice, so he took out..." The guest deliberately kept it secret.

"What to take out? Come on, tell me."

Yan Shou and the Zhao merchants all pricked up their ears to listen.

"Take out a piece of paper that is as white as jade, as thin as cicada wings, and as light as snow! Use a brush to write on it, it is very silky! Xu Junwei took out a stack of paper and bluntly said that paper is not easy to make and expensive, so each person Only three can be given away.”

Another person answered: "Mr. Xu asked them to write their arguments on paper, and then rented advertising boards around the Cuju stadium and pasted their papers on them."

The Zhao businessman asked curiously: "Who won in the end?"

The person who just spoke laughed loudly: "Although writing on paper is very light, writing on it with a brush and writing on bamboo slips are completely different concepts!"

“So far, not a single piece of paper has been posted on the advertising board!”

"Why?" The Zhao businessman didn't understand.

"Because they are busy practicing calligraphy on paper! Just three pieces of paper are not enough for them to practice."

Niu Da couldn't help but join the gossip team: "I heard from a friend who works in a paper shop that Shu paper is in short supply and is often snatched away every time it comes out."

Someone watched the show and said, "Are you afraid that you still don't know that several Confucian scholars got into a fight over grabbing paper and were captured by the guards?"

"I know this! According to the law, these people are going to be tortured. How can the Confucian scholars survive being humiliated like this in front of the world's students? In the end, Xunzi went to the Lord Commander to intercede. This will be replaced by a fine."

Yan Shou, Niu Da and Zhao Guo merchants listened with great interest, and even Bai Juan didn't want to read it.

The servant of the cloth shop said helplessly: "You might as well go to a teahouse to listen to gossip here! Several newly opened teahouses have hired novelists to talk and write there. Isn't that more interesting than listening here?"

Novelists usually use various noble gossips and folklore as materials to create secondary works. The discussion of Taoism is so hot, how can novelists let it go?

"go with!"

"Let's go together!"
