The sky in the east has just brightened, the sun has not yet risen, and the white clouds are slowly dyed red, and the morning glow is dense, and the entire Luoyang City ushered in a new day.

The early morning air was particularly fresh, and the whole Luoyang City slowly woke up from the silence, and people went out one after another to start a busy day.

The people who were worried about the country and the people looked at the east and lamented that Li Mi was in full swing and the court was retreating step by step. He had high talent and chanted a poem about worrying about the country and the people, and he wanted to join the army with high ambitions.

For most ordinary people, it is the main thing to do for the new day's busy schedule. Life in Luoyang is becoming increasingly difficult to enjoy.

Due to the urgent military situation, Luoyang City is about to be closed down. There is only one hour of incidents every day. In addition, material shortages and prices soar, which is really unbearable for ordinary people.

This is the case with Zhou He.

Zhou He is an ordinary resident of Luoyang. He usually does business in Luoyang City and lives a very pleasant life.

However, since the war began, prices in Luoyang have soared, and with the city blockade, his business can no longer continue.

He lost the source of money, but his life continued. With his wife's constant complaints, Zhou He went out helplessly.

As soon as I stepped out of the gate, I saw countless people running towards the East City.

Luoyang City is similar to Daxing City and is also divided into East City and West City. However, Luoyang's East City is the most prosperous. With the continuous transportation of the Grand Canal, the entire East City has commodities from all over the country.

The West City of Daxing City and the East City of Luoyang City, which are full of rare treasures in the Western Regions, are the largest and most luxurious markets in the world.

However, in real comparison, in terms of taxation and scale, the east city of Luoyang City is better than the west city of Daxing City.

Unfortunately, with the rise of Li Mi, the Grand Canal has been cut off, all the goods have been unable to be shipped, and the East City of Luoyang City has completely declined.

Losing the source of goods. Nearly half of the merchants in the entire Dongshi City have closed down, and the tax collectors in the East City have not collected taxes for two months.

Now the tax revenue in Luoyang City has dropped to its historical lowest point, and it is increasingly dependent on Daxing City to lend taxes in advance in terms of financial resources.

So when Yang You proposed to organize merchants to come to Luoyang City, the Luoyang ministers had no choice but to agree to the goods in Daxing City entering Luoyang after several arguments.

Looking at the people in front of him, Zhou He was very surprised. He grabbed a neighbor and asked, "What are you doing here!"

‘You don’t know yet?’ said the neighbor in surprise.

‘Now, hurry to go to East City to buy things. It’s too late to go there.’ The neighbor said anxiously.

In Dongshi, Zhou He sneered that most shops in Dongshi had already closed, and they could not buy anything there.

‘You don’t know this! At three o’clock in the morning, more than 2,000 four-wheeled carriages were already in Luoyang City. They are now being sold in the East City.’

‘Take it seriously!’ Zhou He grabbed the neighbors with great force and said excitedly...

In fact, two thousand five hundred carriages entered Luoyang City, and the huge momentum had already alarmed many people.

It’s just that Zhou He lives in a remote place, I just don’t know.

‘Go away quickly, or it will be too late.’ The neighbor urged.

‘Isn’t there a few more than two thousand trucks of goods? There are so many, and I can’t sell them all for a while.’ Zhou He said indifferently.

‘You are stupid! There are so many people in Luoyang, how can you get more than 2,000 trucks of goods? The neighbors looked at Zhou He with a contemptuous look.

Zhou He thought to himself, that's right! He hurriedly ran towards the East Market, and relied on his youth and strength, he quickly left his neighbor far behind.

‘Damn…’ The neighbors were so angry that they scolded Zhou He when they saw that they were not righteous.

Before we arrived in Dongshi, we heard the noise of lively and noisy. Such common scenes in Dongshi have not appeared for several months.

Zhou He rushed to Dongshi. At this moment, Dongshi was already crowded with people, and the shops on both sides were filled with goods. There were hawking noises everywhere, and everyone was making crazy purchases.

This plan has been planned for a long time, and it has been taken down a whole street in Dongshi. When the goods were pulled to Dongshi, they were immediately placed on the shelves.

Zhou He saw a wide range of goods and bustling crowds. Small merchants and hawkers were hawking, as if he had returned to the prosperous moment of Luoyang East City half a year ago.

Oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are essential things in the family, and the importance of salt ranks first.

Zhou He struggled to squeeze into the crowd and began to search at various stalls, wanting to buy salt.

‘Sorry, no, no.’

‘Sorry, I’ve finished buying it.’

Zhou He found several shops in a row but couldn't buy them. He either didn't have them or they had finished buying them.

Although the sales volume of salt is very wide and there is no need to worry about sales, the salt is too heavy and the transportation is inconvenient.

In order to share the risks, many merchants brought some salt, but not too much, or some merchants simply did not bring it.

Zhou He found several more, and finally found one, which was also salt.

Zhou He went up to see it and tasted it again. The salt was good, and it was all high-quality green salt.

Merchants can only double the price when transporting goods to Daxing City. Of course, they will not ship low-quality goods, all of which are high-quality green salt. The price is more expensive, and adding one double will make more profits.

‘My friend, come two pounds of green salt!’ Zhou He shouted to a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old guy.

‘Good!’ The guy responded, his voice was delayed, and he was obviously in a very happy mood. Although he was tired today, the salary paid by the boss was not low.

The guy quickly shoveled a shovel of salt with an iron shovel, put it on the scale, and weighed it skillfully.

Another guy immediately took down the weighed salt and handed it to Zhou He and said, "Three Hundred and Twenty Months!"

‘Three Hundred and Twenty Texts!’ Zhou He exclaimed.

‘This big brother, this is the best green salt. Even if it is usually done, it also costs five cents and one liang. Now ten cents and one liang is already very kind. One pound is sixteen liang, a total of one hundred and sixty liang, and two pounds of high-quality green salt is 320 liang.’ The man said skillfully.

However, he didn't know that Zhou He was not shocked, the price was expensive, but instead thought that these prices were cheaper.

Now the prices in Luoyang are soaring, and many merchants hoard and raise prices. The price of high-quality green salt has already risen to 20 cents per liang. Now ten cents per liang is already cheaper to the sky.

‘Not expensive, not expensive!’ Zhou He said in a row, and quickly handed over the copper coins and took the salt.

With these two pounds of salt, their family will no longer have to eat those plain rice.

Zhou Heshi looked at the salt in his hand. Before he left, he saw a middle-aged man with a big belly and luxurious clothes coming.

‘Call your boss over and we have a big business to negotiate.’ said the middle-aged man, with a hint of arrogance.

With a hundred cars of goods per household, it is impossible to just send a shopkeeper to such a big business.

It is just the right thing to do if the boss comes forward, so middle-aged people directly call for the boss.
