Every business here has a small flag representing its own business, which is raised high on a bamboo pole. There are almost thirteen or four businesses, and they all use bamboo poles to support their own clothes, and two people carry them.
Each family has at least ten different kinds of clothes.
There are more than 200 merchants among these merchants alone.
There were hundreds of people watching the excitement, and some women were actually asking about the price of clothes. Among them, many women dressed in Silla, Baekje, and even Goguryeo were here to ask.
A small door has been opened, and people carrying clothes are entering one after another.
Unfortunately, there were too many clothes. In less than half an hour, it was impossible to carry all the clothes and the boxes piled up like a hill. Not to mention that there were no less than eighty carriages here, and some people were loading their clothes next to the carriages.
Use bamboo poles to prop it up and join the new queue.
"This is a big shop that buys clothes. Why do they buy mostly Goguryeo clothes?" Yeon Gaesomun found a man who was directing the dressing of the businessmen who lined up to enter the hospital and asked.
The businessman didn't even look back: "Didn't you read the newspaper? When selecting merchants in Yaozhou, there are only four garment shops qualified to sell garments in Yaozhou."
"Then what is this?" After all, Yeon Gaesoo Moon is not a modern person. He doesn't understand business, so naturally he doesn't understand this rule at all.
"Hurry, hurry, carry that box in quickly, everyone can rest for a while." The businessman in charge watched the last box enter the hospital, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief and wiped it.
After sweating, I turned around and saw that the other person was actually dressed in Goguryeo costumes, with an expression that you didn't understand.
Yeon Gaesumun did not dare to say that he was a member of the Goguryeo envoy. He only said: "I am a businessman from Goguryeo to the Tang Dynasty. Seeing your beautiful clothes, I wonder if I can consider trading."
The businessman took out a refined card from his body.
This is an ancient business card. It is about four times larger than the modern one. It is made with precision and uses pure engraving printing. It not only has text, but also exquisite pictures and shop logos. One printing plate can print eight
One hundred cards are counted, these three business cards are the cost of one King of Qin's money.
Yeon Gae So Moon took the piece of paper
It has the name of the shop, the street number of Dongshi, the name of the merchant, and the business scope of the shop.
I secretly praised in my heart that this businessman of Tang Dynasty is really good.
Yeon Gaesumun asked again: "I have never heard of this idea of choosing merchants!"
"Yaozhou is a big business. The population of this state is almost half that of Chang'an City, with nearly 600,000 people. Among them, the number of Goguryeo women alone is 390,000, and some people say it is 430,000.
Man, we ordinary people don’t know the accuracy of these figures, but they are definitely not a minority.”
Hearing this number, Yeon Gaesomun was not surprised at all. Initially, when the Khitan and Mohe people harassed the border villages of Goguryeo, it was women who were captured.
Originally, Goguryeo had experienced wars with the former Sui Dynasty, and with Silla, the number of men was only half of the number of women, or even less.
In addition, men may resist when people are robbed, so it is not surprising that most of the slaves captured and sold are women.
The Tang Dynasty occupied Goguryeo's Liaocheng and Jian'an. These two were not considered borders, but were large cities within the territory. Together with the surrounding villages, they also attacked individual small towns. After this, Goguryeo lost nearly 120,000 households.
If we go by Yeon Gaesumun's calculations, it should not be nonsense that there are more than 400,000 Goguryeo women in Yaozhou.
In fact, the reason why there are so many women in Yaozhou is because Luoyang was building roads and more than 50,000 strong male slaves were taken to Luoyang, which makes it even more obvious that there are more women in Yaozhou.
But then I thought about it, no, these captured Goguryeo women should have been slaves in the Tang Dynasty.
Just when Yeon Gae Suwen was about to ask, he heard someone shouting something on the other street. At that moment, the businessman hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Excuse me, accuse me!" After that, he hurriedly ran past.
The Goguryeo envoy Chong Yuan Gaisuwen said: "Go and ask for clarification!"
Yeon Gaesumun also ran after the businessman, and when he turned a corner, he saw a group of carriages stopped in front of the gorgeous gate. The main gate was not open, and all the side doors beside it were opened.
"Here, the distinguished guests who have finalized the decision have arrived!" someone shouted.
Some businessmen ran back and shouted at their men: "Hurry and carry it into the courtyard, be careful not to damage it and you will be severely punished!"
The businessman who was talking to Yeon Gae Suwen stopped at the street corner: "It seems that there will never be a winner in a day or two. There are so many people coming. I'm afraid this review will have to pass a few tests!"
Another businessman stood next to the businessman with a smile and handed over a packet of small store contents: "Junior brother, if I am chosen, I will definitely share this huge profit opportunity with my senior brother." After saying this, he said to the man next to him, who was about thirty years old,
The woman in gorgeous clothes winked, and walked forward quickly holding a small bag.
"Thank you!" The businessman who took the snack cupped his hand.
"You and I have the same master. We don't separate our branches!"
Yeon Gaesumun also stood up and bowed his hands with the etiquette of the Tang Dynasty: "These are the judges. They decide whose clothes can be sold in Yaozhou. But I don't understand. I heard that all the women from Goguryeo in Yaozhou are
Slave, that master would be so generous, not to mention, I saw a lot of gorgeous clothes!"
"Don't underestimate Yaozhou!" The businessman pointed at those who were getting off the bus. Although their clothes were not gorgeous, they were definitely not slaves. They were even better than ordinary Goguryeo women.
Yeon Gaesooun looked over and saw the woman holding the bundle walking over.
Who is this woman? She is the female shopkeeper in the shop who customized clothes for Jin Manqing that day, and she is also half the owner of that shop. At this time, she went over with the baggage. Although she did not dare to give a gift or fake it, she wanted to look familiar.
"Dear distinguished guests, I don't know that this distinguished guest is from Yaozhou Medical Bureau. The plumber has customized the clothes."
At that moment, a woman who seemed to be in her early twenties came out, holding a note in her hand and saying in unfamiliar Chinese: "We are preparing to go to Dongshi tomorrow. Thank you very much!"
That note was actually Jin Manqing's receipt for taking out her clothes.
Opening the bag on the spot, here came sixty-eight Goguryeo female foremans, twenty male foremans, and two officials in charge of Yaozhou. The officials were too lazy to take care of these trivial matters. The male foremans stood aside to watch the popular ones. The female foremans, on the other hand,
They all gathered around and helped spread the clothes.
"The Rainbow Brocade of the Tang Dynasty!" Yuan Gaisuwen exclaimed.
"It's a pity that the shop doesn't have Yunjin. The Yaozhou gold plumber has the position of a seventh-grade official. He manages more than 5,000 people. I heard that he has an income of three guanqian a month, not counting the reward. And it's King Qin's money. This is terrible.
It’s not miscellaneous money!” As soon as the businessman spoke, several people standing next to him took a deep breath.
In the Tang Dynasty, this was considered a wealthy family.
You must know that one acre of land can only harvest three loads of grain a year. A load of unprocessed grain only costs more than 50 cash, and one acre of land only costs 150 cash. Twenty acres only costs three loads, and this
The price is still old money, so Jin Manqing's monthly income is equivalent to the annual income of twenty-five acres of land.
She is only one person, how can she not be considered a wealthy household.
"How could the female slaves of Goguryeo in Yaozhou of the Tang Dynasty be so rich?" Yeon Gaesumun didn't believe his ears.
The businessman smiled and said: "Ordinarily, there are hundreds of thousands of female slave workers in Yaozhou, but no one has come out to make clothes. But now thinking about it, I can understand what kind of place Yaozhou is. Whatever is produced there is worth it.
Good things cost a lot of money, but making clothes is a waste of manpower, and it just brings more business to our garment shops!"
Another person said: "The poorest slave girl in Yaozhou has a guaranteed salary of forty cash a month. If she works harder, she can get sixty cash a month. A fine linen autumn dress in a small shop only costs eighty cash."
, you can also give me a pair of shoes."
"Our store has a rainbow brocade of 800 Wen, a seven-piece suit inside and outside, and a belt and shoes as a gift. There are at least tens of thousands of female workers in Yaozhou who earn 400 Wen a month. Our clothes are also competitive enough!"
"See you at the review meeting!" The businessman clasped his fists and turned around to leave.
At the gate, a group of Goguryeo women looked at the clothes and smiled happily. It could be seen from their expressions that they liked them and could afford them.
Among the people who come here, even the lowest one has a monthly income, so they can afford it.
Women in the Tang Dynasty did not have as many clothes as modern people. They might wear a good set of clothes for many years, so spending two or three months' income on a good set of clothes was indeed a very cost-effective price.
Yuan Gaisu Wen's heart sank to the bottom. He knew that his wife did not even have a set of Tang Dynasty rainbow brocade clothes, let alone a concubine. In the Tang Dynasty, there were female slaves in Goguryeo, and tens of thousands of them turned out to be slaves.
The Caihongjin clothing store businessman's target merchants, such a gap made him blush.
"Yunjin, Yunjin!" A businessman yelled and rushed out from the small door on the side where he just entered.
Everyone was attracted by his shout.
The businessman yelled loudly: "We have increased the order for Yunjin. The jewelry store will participate in the election in three days." After that, he ran towards Dongshi like crazy.
At this time, everyone no longer cared about gathering around here. Some merchants had enough manpower and immediately arranged for people to go back to report the news.
Some people just run back on their own, but they can’t feel anything until halfway there. This is like leaving for a while and starting to judge what to do if they’re not there. It’s not possible to go now, and it’s impossible not to leave. They are beating their chests and feet on the street.
Make people sympathize.
But in Yeon Gaesumun's heart, he felt a sense of shame.
He walked back and reported what he knew to the Goguryeo envoy. Without saying a word, the Goguryeo envoy got on the carriage and waved to turn around and avoid this section of the road. He was thinking in his heart: Even if he walked ten more streets, he would not go any further.
If you leave from here, don't leave from here again.
Yeon Gaesoo's face was also dark, and his heart was even colder.
He originally planned to come to Chang'an in the Tang Dynasty and bring a piece of cloud brocade back to his wife, so that his beloved wife would be happy, but now all the female slaves in Goguryeo in the Tang Dynasty are wearing cloud brocade, and he has not even seen it in person
I have never seen what Yun brocade looks like, let alone bought it.
Wei Zheng, who was sitting on the guard tower of General Tiance's mansion, watched the whole scene and just smiled coldly.
"Little baby, you are worthy of guessing the thoughts of my King Qin!" (To be continued. Please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!)
