Chapter 5 The first day in Chang'an

Song Bo was covered in a torn skin and knelt on the crossroads of Chang'an, smashing his chest with a brick and singing, "Mrs. Give me a ticket."

Chang'an City is said to be a city between Xi'an and Xianyang. It has a circumference of 35.56 kilometers and an area of ​​about 84 square kilometers, which is 9.7 times the area within the current Xi'an city walls, 1.8 times the Luoyang city of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, 1.7 times the Yuan Dadu, 1.9 times the Nanjing city of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, 1.4 times the Beijing city of Constantinople built in 447 AD, 6.2 times the Baghdad built in 800 AD, and 7 times the Roman city of ancient times. By the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was the largest and most prosperous international city at that time, with a population of more than one million at that time. It is said that if the migrant population was added, two million would be unstoppable. People from all over the world gathered here, except for Indians and Australian natives (although all races announced that their ancestors had arrived at these places very early. But in fact, the discovery time confirmed by official history was only the Age of Discovery).

Walking on the street, you can see the black Kunlun slaves and the yellow-haired and white-faced Aryans. If you look carefully, you may find the Nordic pirates (it is difficult to find). As for the Asian races like the Indian A-san, you can get a lot of cars. There are people who are in a row, and there are also some people who sell streets (salesmen). These are places similar to all the alleys. But now they are not called hutongs, but hutongs, one hutongs are like a city. When you open and close the door, it is similar to the current community. Although these places are already very lively, if you want to say that the really lively places can only be said to be the East and West Market. This thing is mainly the inside and the outside. One is mainly the workshop and the other is mainly the trade market. What modern people often say is about buying and selling things, and what they say is the East and West Market. What they often say also evolved from this (not to mention things, they are too uncultured).

In Dongshi, which pays attention to workshops, most of the surrounding areas are princes and ministers. Therefore, the trade here mainly provides services to these princes and ministers. Some major production units of daily necessities are mostly here. For example, blacksmith shops, weaving workshops, etc. can be found in Dongshi. Our cute male protagonist Song Bo Children's Shoes. Now he is leading his sincere servant Ada to "scramble" in Dongshi. He looks around at the east and asks people on the road from time to time.

In fact, their purpose is very simple, which is to find a blacksmith shop to be transferred. After all, Song Bo's family has been born in iron-making for dozens of generations, and he has worked as an iron-making except for being a soldier. Song Bo was forced by his grandfather to learn iron-making since he was a child. The old man said it very well, just one sentence, he is not too skilled. As a result, Song Bo was still taking turns to work as a forging worker on a hammer the day before joining the army. After taking over his father's work, he didn't need a hammer to work as a forging worker, but he worked at the steel-making furnace. It can be said that Song Bo is a soldier except steel. The reason why he can do business is purely a life-thrust, and the so-called negotiation skills are read in time travel novels. So he wanted to live in Chang'an.

Bo, the first thing he did after he arrived in Chang'an was to find a blacksmith shop. There were two benefits to doing this. First, life was settled. Second, life in this era was very boring. I didn't even listen to Peking Opera, let alone crosstalk sketches or nightclubs. I was really bored, so I would use iron to adjust my life. As for Song Bo's twenty servants, it would be simple. Just ask them to buy salt and meat and make bacon. From then on, Song Bo's workshop would be cured in the front and the back. In addition, the one-stop production and sales of Shang Bo will be formed. In Song Bo's words, "We will be rich in the future." But the first thing this rich man has to do is find a good blacksmith shop.

After another two hours, Song Bo came to the door of a blacksmith shop that entered the courtyard.

"Langjun, this is what the old man said just now, the blacksmith shop is going to be transferred. Go in and take a look?"

"Okay, let's see if the goods are talking about buying or not."

Song Bo was thinking about buying a shop and what he would do next. As a result, Ada proposed to enter the blacksmith shop and saw a voice that disturbed Song Bo's thoughts. The two of them walked in without looking at the door. The shop was indeed for sale, because until they walked past the door, they saw a guy crawling half-deadly. No one greeted him, and of course there was no sound of slashing irons in the blacksmith shop. If they didn't see the guy at the door, anyone would think that the house was completely dead. The first time they entered the yard was a large warehouse. There were everything in the big house in the southeast, north and north (the door was facing west). Crying sounds were heard from time to time in the backyard.

"Is there anyone who can make the decision? Come out." As a slave, Ada has the obligation to shout loudly for his master when he needs it.

But seeing that no one responded after shouting for a long time, Ada couldn't help but look at Song Bo. Song Bo frowned and shouted loudly.

"Is there anyone who can make the decision? One comes out."

After a while, someone agreed, "Who is it? But the tooth merchant who came to buy the shop?" The voice of a middle-aged woman came from the backyard.

"We are a shop owner, but we are not a tooth merchant." Tooth merchants generally do intermediate transactions, mainly playing the role of intermediary and guarantors. Now they are generally called intermediaries.

Time was not long, and a middle-aged woman walked out of the inner yard and saw the woman full of grief. Her face was full of grief. There was something wrong with her family, but the matter of replacing the shop could not be delayed: "Oh, I want to buy a shop. I wonder what you are going to do to buy this shop? If you still build a blacksmith shop, you can sell these iron and tools to you. If not, we are looking for the next house to sell these iron and tools." The woman was obviously very anxious. Xiang immediately transferred all these belongings. It seems that he would not live in Chang'an City in the future.

"Then you give me all those. I'm also a blacksmith. I just don't know how much the tools and iron are used for your shop?" Song Bo didn't think it was good to see that the store was in a good condition, nor did he pay a low price to suppress it. Of course, it was not ruled out that he just tested the price.

"You give it to 500 guan. We took the money to go out to Chang'an." The woman revealed a psychological price without even thinking about it.

"Okay, then it's 500 guan. Ada, go find someone to establish a contract." Song Bo quickly made a decision. In fact, he had never hesitated at all. Although these 500 guan was a bit expensive, the key was to be fast. It was indeed expensive in the Tang Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, the house was sold according to the ruler. Generally speaking, one stone was about one stone. In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, it was only more than two stones. Once the grain was only ten dou, it was only forty or fifty coins (the price in the fourth year of Zhenguan was four cents per dou of rice, ten dou one stone). One thousand coins, five hundred guan could buy a big house worth tens of thousands of feet.

Although this house is more than 6,000 feet and more than 700 square meters, it doesn’t have that much money. With the iron materials, it is only 450 chunks. Song Bo voluntarily became a sucker. However, for Song Bo, buying a house is buying a place. Only with a place can you make money and hoard food. Only with food can you stabilize your life. Only with food can you have a sense of security (hungry and poor children in the Australian continent). The ancients said that starting a family and starting a family, getting married and getting married, then having a family first. You have two or three relatives to buy a house. This is home.

"Are you not thinking about it?" The woman was stunned by Song Bo because the price the woman said was 200 cents more expensive than the price given by the dentist.

"It's okay, don't think about it. I look good in this house, and there are shops on the street. There are raw iron again. In a few days, I can do business by changing the case. I have to sign the house for a while and it's mine. If you have no objection, I will settle it like this." Song Bo seemed very anxious because the house was too suitable for his ideas.

"Ah, that's fine." Of course the woman didn't say it was bad, because she really needed the money.

"When can you move? You can see that, I'm more anxious." Song Bo looked at the other party eagerly (I was really anxious).

"We plan to move today. You can move in tomorrow." The woman said calmly.

"Ah, no, no. Madam, don't be so anxious. I can still live in the inn in the past few days." When Song Bo heard the other party say that he would move today, he felt a little embarrassed.

"You're welcome. My family originally planned to sell the house to a dental merchant. Today, I really have to move the house if you have something to do at home. It has nothing to do with you." The woman looked calm.

"That'll cause you trouble..."

Afterwards, the two talked about other things, nothing more than details of buying and selling houses.
