After a few days, the group passed through Wuguan and arrived in Lantian.

It is 490 miles from Wuguan to Chang'an, and after passing Lantian, it is cleared when it comes out of danger, and officially enters the scope of the Guanzhong Plain.

Lei Yuan vaguely remembered that there was the former site of the Han Dinghu Yanshou Palace in Lantian County. It should have been abandoned at this time and the county town had no residents. But when he arrived in Lantian, he found that the county town was quite lively, and the Bashui Ferry was filled with boats, merchants gathered, and people were crowded.

It turns out that over the years, merchants in the jurisdiction of the King of Hanzhong have flourished. They have helped the central government's military capital allocation. At the same time, relying on close contact with the military and political dynasty, they have continuously opened up channels and expanded the scope of material sales.

These merchants naturally had an extremely keen sense of smell. When the King of Hanzhong entered Chang'an without fighting, the first batch of merchants had already flowed in. When the military prefecture in Guanzhong was established and the prefecture was established, and the reconstruction and restoration process began, a second batch of merchants arrived. The financial and material resources of these two groups immediately filled the east and west cities in the northwest corner of Chang'an City.

However, most of these two groups of merchants were sent by wealthy merchants in Yizhou and Jingzhou to inquire about the situation. The merchants hoped to understand the extent of Hanzhong's importance to Guanzhong and wanted to see if Guanzhong could restore his old views and become an economic center comparable to other major states, so they did not rush to do business and make money.

However, after July, wealthy businessmen from all over Yizhou, even large caravans with deep backgrounds in Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, and even some merchants driven by the Liangzhou clan, rushed to Chang'an. They all heard about Cao Pi's lightning actions, and even heard that the King of Hanzhong was about to respond, so they arrived in a hurry, not only to check them personally, but also to get a share of the major events in the future.

In this era, productivity was still quite backward. Both handicrafts and commerce, they all depended on consumption from the upper class of the regime. Although the aristocratic families in Hebei and Central Plains traded their own land to the south for luxury goods; the same was true for the new owners of the manors in Yizhou, Jingzhou and Jiaozhou, but their martial arts style is still there, and at present, they are not only too much to pursue luxury.

And a larger consumption center than the owner of the manor is naturally the regime itself.

Every merchant understands that if the King of Hanzhong ascended the throne and became emperor, it would be an extremely grand ceremony. The ceremony itself would produce countless business opportunities. The essential rewards and gifts at the ceremony would create many wealthy families out of thin air. These wealthy families would bring huge benefits to the merchants.

Not to mention, if the King of Hanzhong ascended the throne in Chang'an, Chang'an would immediately regain the status of the imperial capital and surpass the heroic towns of Chengdu and Jiangling. Who would have missed the reconstruction of Chang'an?

As a result, half of the world's merchants came to Chang'an one after another, and their actions were much faster than those of border generals like Lei Yuan. For a time, Chang'an City was somewhat abnormal and prosperous.

The new Sili School Commander Fa Zheng had a bad personality. He was worried that the merchants would be surrounded by enemy spies and spies, so he moved all the merchants out of Chang'an and let them live in Lantian County for the time being. But even so, the enthusiasm of the merchants was not affected. Many people were in a dilapidated county, contacting and talking to each other, but instead gave birth to new prospects from time to time.

Just outside the inn where Lei Yuan and his group settled, a group of merchants gathered under the newly built pergola by the woods and chatted.

A fat merchant with a Yizhou accent said proudly to others: "Ma Zheng in Liangzhou will rule over Taipu Temple in the future. If you want to resell it privately, you must have the courage to go on a long journey and deal with the Qiang and Hu tribes directly! I took a team of people at the beginning of this year, walked the route of the Zhao family of the Hanyang clan, and walked to the Cizhihequ in Jincheng County!"

"There is a place where Cizhihequ is heard. I heard that it is the territory of the Qiang. If you go there, don't you be afraid of being..." An old merchant in his fifties next to him made a gesture of cutting his head.

"So you have to ask famous big names in Liangzhou to introduce them. Do you care about those Qianghu? "The fat merchant said proudly: "If there is not enough introduction, you have to get the talisman of reselling horses from the military palace. Only by this can you get to the Guiyi and Jianwei military forts there. The two military forts in Guiyi and Jianwei are Guanshi specially set up for horse trading. Hehe, do you know what I used to exchange for horses?"

How can the military official’s Fuxin be easily obtained? As soon as this is said, it is obviously showing off.

Several merchants around him shook their heads.

The fat merchant didn't feel embarrassed. He lowered his voice and said a few words, probably mentioning what goods were produced in Nanzhong, Yizhou. The people around him were quite bored and only praised them politely. Only the two of them were looking at each other, probably because they were interested in the goods in Nanzhong.

Lei Yuan looked at the situation outside in a row, drank tea and spent some time. Over the years, he was busy with military affairs and rarely had the leisure he had like this. He could get close to ordinary merchants and listen to news from all over the world. As he listened, he was very interested.

The reason why I stayed in the Lantian posthouse was because the chariot used by the group was finally broken. Deng Fanzheng accompanied several postmen and found a way to repair it later. However, it was dusk now, and even if the repair was completed, he would have to continue on the road tomorrow morning.

When he arrived in Lantian, he was just a few feet away from Chang'an, so of course there was no need to walk in the name of Deng Fan. Lei Yuan revealed the identity of General Zuo and Marquis of Xinning, and directly occupied the post office and used it with his subordinates. Zhao Xiang took advantage of this time and summoned two managers from the caravans under the Lei family in Lujiang to take advantage of the situation.

Lei Yuan is always in military affairs and politics, and has rarely paid special attention to the common affairs of the family in recent years. He has just realized that his clan's caravan has reached Guanzhong; he even just realized that his wife is so strict in controlling family affairs, and his methods are like the heroine Lei Yuan met in later novels.

He listened to the situation in the side hall of the inner courtyard and felt that it was almost over, so he stood up and prepared to go over and take a look.

As soon as I entered the inner courtyard, several meters away from the entrance of the side hall, Zhao Xiang was still speaking harshly: "Is there any sugarcane paste in Jiaozhou better than my family? I will go to Chang'an City tomorrow and go to see the situation in the East City in person. If you are perfunctory, hum, you must ask for a monk's law!"

The two managers repeatedly claimed that they were, kowtowing like a chicken pecking at rice.

When Zhao Xiang was finished looking through the books, he waved his hand and came out with a sweat. Seeing Lei Yuan, the two of them could not even bow to the ground and salute again.

Lei Yuan recognized that one of the managers was originally a subordinate of Zhou Hu. He had done a lot of things in Lexiang County and had a deep experience. However, after marriage, Zhao Xiang was in power. If these managers angered Zhao Xiang, Lei Yuan could not save them. So he nodded slightly, said nothing, and let the two managers go.

After a while, Zhao Xiang hummed out.

Somehow, she was a little angry these two days and didn't like anyone else. Seeing Lei Yuan coming over with a smile, she suddenly said unhappy: "Didn't your husband say that you want to tell Arnold about the old things in the Guanzhong battle? Why do you have time to come here?"

"Ano said, I want to go out for a walk and see the scenery in Guanzhong. I asked Chi Li Ningta to accompany me." Lei Yuan smiled and walked closer, and pulled Zhao Xiang's hand: "Madam, let's go for a walk too?"

"I don't have time to stroll around! I have to read all those books tonight!" Zhao Xiang patted Lei Yuan's hand away and continued to say angrily: "That guy Chi Li Ningta only knows how to eat! I'm not relieved if he is with Arnold! Go and call Arnold back!"

"Yes, yes, madam said yes." Lei Yuan pulled his feet and left.

While Lei Yuan and his wife were talking, Arnold and Chi Li Ningta had already visited half of Lantian County. Chi Li Ningta buried a pig's legs in a restaurant and ate while walking. Now they had finished eating.

Since getting married, he has lived a more refined life than before. For example, after eating meat, he has to pick his teeth with a dagger.
