When it comes to going to Min County, there is one thing that is indispensable, and that is travel expenses.
This problem is not difficult to solve, and there is no need to go to Nanshan Village to donate alms.
There were dozens of taels of silver found from Master Fan and the officials.
He is now a bandit, and after arresting someone, Yin Liang cannot let him go.
After arresting someone, the money on them belongs to you. Only in this way can you be a qualified bandit.
There aren't many people going to Min County, so it's just me, Qin Qi'er, and Hu Sisi.
When there are only three people, the goal is small.
Even if you don't tell others, others won't know where you come from.
For Min County, both he and Qin Qierdi were strangers.
As for Hu Sisi, she used to often run through Min County alone, but she said that if necessary, she would have other identities to enter the city.
And when it comes to the person with the strongest ability to do things in Min County, it must be Hu Sisi.
The three of them went to Min County. During the process, Wangshan pulled a cart. The cart was relatively simple, just covered with straw, but it was quite comfortable to sit in.
Compared with the last time I went to Min County, the time spent on the road was much less.
We set off on the same day and arrived in Min County before sunset.
Although it was approaching dusk, there were still many people coming in and out.
As the New Year is approaching, there are more and more people going to the market to buy and sell.
The Chinese New Year is always the most festive and important day of the year.
Every family works tirelessly to prepare for this day.
When entering the city gate, it was Hu Sisi who had a conversation.
Facts have proved that Hu Sisi really has a solution. She was allowed to enter the city without even showing her tooth tag.
Qin Qier was curious: "How is this done?"
Hu Sisi: "I used to travel around a lot. In order to make a living, and for my man, I had to make money. To make money, I had to deal with businessmen frequently, so I had connections. Finally, I thought, I might as well join a guild.
, I didn’t expect them to approve it.”
A guild is an organization of merchants.
In order to strengthen the management of market vendors and employees, Daqin.
Vendors and shop workers must join the guild.
Let businessmen form guilds according to the type of business and register according to industry. Those who do not join the guild cannot engage in business.
The guild will check the quality and reputation of the operators' products.
The leader of the guild, that is, the head of the guild, cooperates with the government as a guarantor and is responsible for assessing prices of operators and supervising illegal activities.
In essence, the leader is still a businessman, not an official, and has no public power in his hands. However, because he often travels between businessmen and the government, he has the nature of an official to a certain extent.
There are also guilds in Min County, but they are not too complicated, they are just unified into one.
It was unexpected that Hu Sisi could join the guild.
This shows one thing, she has good business talent.
In fact, in Da Qin, the status of merchants was very low.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.
Scholars: refers to scholars. Scholars have the opportunity to become officials and become the ruling class. Therefore, scholars are ranked first.
Farming: Only with farming can we have food and food. Most of the people are farmers, and most of the wealth of the ruling class comes from farmers' taxes. Therefore, the rulers will encourage civilians to engage in farming, and the status of farmers will naturally be higher.
Gong: refers to workers, that is, those who do technical work. These people are not directly involved in food production, but they are inseparable from many places. For example, making clothes, ceramics, etc.
Business: refers to businessmen. In the eyes of the ancients, businessmen were speculators and could not bring actual value to society, so they had a low status.
A businessman still has limitations everywhere,
It is forbidden to wear silk clothes, and funerals must not be extravagant or wasteful.
This makes businessmen live a dishonorable life and die dishonorably.
People have money just for enjoyment, but after making money, they limit their enjoyment. So what is the meaning of money?
The purpose of such restrictions is to discourage people from doing business.
Businessmen pursue profit. As the saying goes, there is no business without treachery. If everyone only pursues profit, this will be detrimental to the development of the country.
Clothing and burial are within the limits of daily life.
Higher-level restrictions include:
It is forbidden to buy land. Land is the foundation of the country. If businessmen can buy land, the country will be in chaos.
Businessmen and their descendants are not allowed to become officials. If a group of people who only seek profit become officials, the court will be in chaos.
Businessmen also collect more taxes, and businessmen pay the most taxes.
Hu Sisi: "Actually, there are quite a few restrictions on joining a guild, but I needed money at that time, and it wouldn't have much impact on my business as a woman."
"But there are also benefits to joining a guild. You will have more sales and you will get to know more people."
"As for the city gate soldier just now, I have had several contacts with him before. I just talked about it and he remembered it. No, he didn't need anything, so he let me enter the city."
A person like Hu Sisi, if placed in modern times, would be a strong woman.
Although her man is not good enough, no one dares to bully her, and she can still run around and make money.
Moreover, she also has good cooking skills.
She can go up to the hall and go down to the kitchen. This is how she is described.
It was already dusk. After entering the city, I found an inn. Anyway, I had dozens of taels of silver in my pocket, so I could afford to stay in an inn.
But when I stayed at the inn, I ran into a problem.
As the New Year approaches, more and more people stay in Min County. The business of the inn is so good that there is only one guest room left.
The three of them exchanged glances. Pei Yun and Qin Qi'er didn't care. They were already sleeping together, but there was an extra Hu Si Si.
In fact, Hu Sisi doesn't care, it depends more on Pei Yun's thoughts.
Finally, Qin Qier stood up and said: "There is only one guest room left, so there is nothing we can do about it. Anyway, three people can sleep in it if they squeeze in."
Hu Sisi would not dare to say this, and Pei Yun would not take the initiative to propose it, so Qin Qi'er could only say this.
The waiter at the side immediately took over, "Yes, in the winter, it will be more lively if there are three people crowded together."
While talking, his eyes were very bright.
One man and two women, what will happen if they sleep in the same bed?
Maybe you can even listen to the corner of the wall then, it’s exciting just thinking about it.
"This is the guest room, we want it." Qin Qier said.
Dinner was eaten in the room. The food was pretty good, but it couldn't compare to Hu Sisi's cooking skills.
To be surprising, the inn actually gave me a small bottle of wine.
I have eaten food and other things on weekdays, but it is not as good as Hu Sisi, so there is nothing to say.
As for wine, you can't drink wine in Nanshan Village. Being able to drink wine is a new thing.
After taking a sip out of curiosity, Pei Yun stopped drinking and said, "This wine is no good."
"Young Master, do you know how to drink?" Qin Qier asked.
I can’t say whether I know anything about wine, I just drank better wine.
Pei Yun: "If I have a chance, I'll make some wine and I'll make sure it tastes better than this."
Qin Qier was surprised: "Young Master knows how to make wine?"
Pei Yun: "We'll know when the time comes."
Making wine is not difficult, and I can still make high-purity wine, but I have no idea in this regard.
Although wine is very profitable, it requires food.
The people didn't even have enough to eat, but they still used the grain to make wine, so forget it.
At most, I just brew a little and drink it myself.
