The summer harvest has begun in the counties of Jinjiang.

As the families of various soldiers continued to move, Jin and Jiang prefectures, which had once been harmed by Li Han, gradually regained their vitality. The urban and rural areas were densely populated, the farmland sowing area increased significantly, and various commodities continued to flow in, and commerce was extremely prosperous, even surpassing the Hezhong Prefecture next door, which seemed to be the largest prosperous area nearby.

What makes people feel a little disappointed is that most of the soldiers' families choose to live near the city wall. Even if they have distributed land, they are still willing to plant fewer people unless there are many children in the family and they are adults.

Anyi County is the resettlement site for the family of Tianxiong Army. More than 10,000 families have almost all settled in the county town and near Longchi Palace, and so many have formed large settlements and commercial areas.

As for the land in the countryside, few people cultivate themselves. If they can rent it to others, they will rent it to others. If they can't, they will plant some high-yield forage grass at will, and then raise livestock. It is a bit of an input. After all, it is a pity to completely abandon it.

The houses lived in by the soldiers' families were not very careful and the cost was not high. It seemed that they were actually ready to move again.

A widely circulated rumor is that the King of Xia will sooner or later deposed the emperor and become independent, and will move home at that time, so there is no need to do it too well.

After moving to a new home, the land in Anyi will be sold, and the houses can be sold, and if they cannot be sold, they will be thrown away. At that time, King Xia will re-dividate the land for everyone, and another investment will be made.

Zhao Cheng's caravan came back from Heyang and brought some locally made iron tools.

The scale of the mines and workshops in Xiuwu County continues to operate stably. The iron of good quality is used to make weapons, armor, and the less-than-made farm tools.

The farm tools were uniformly purchased by the Heyang Shogunate and then rented to the people, just like those livestock. The purchase money came from the Jiangzhou Coin Supervisory Bureau. Thousands of newly cast copper coins were allocated every year to purchase 100,000 pieces of various agricultural tools. Whether it was an official courtyard or a private workshop, they made a fortune.

Zhao Chengneng took many iron farm tools from Xiuwula, not only because of his connections. In fact, he has invested in and established a small workshop in Xiuwu County, specializing in making farm tools.

Of course, the Heyang shogunate did not want to see iron farm tools flowing out from the local area, but they were not easy to stop a businessman like Zhao Cheng. In addition, the Zhao business company was also trafficking livestock from other places to Heyang, which made it even worse. In the end, he had to give up and let him pull him to Jin Jiang.

"How come the iron weapon of martial arts is so cheap?"

"I heard it was made of charcoal."

"The King of Xia does not call it charcoal, but calls it coal."

"What do you care about me? Isn't charcoal iron smelting thin, crispy and easy to fold? This iron tool is OK."

"It must be that there is something wrong with the cultivation of Wumei, it's not very different."

"What if he doesn't matter, I've bought it all."

In just one afternoon, the iron tools that Zhao Cheng pulled over were sold out in Anyifang City. He went to the liquidation office to exchange a few silver dollar notes, and then left.

When the lights first came on, the streets and alleys near Longchi Palace were already extremely lively.

Because there is no city wall, there is naturally no curfew. Those who live here are either royal palaces, shogunate officials, or soldiers' families. They have all the money to spend, and even after nightfall, places like wine shops are still full.

The station is also a very lively place. Zhao Cheng was very bored and drank tea in the yard with the businessman who lived here.

At first, everyone talked about this year's rainfall, harvest and other things. Later, they turned to business and talked about the number of livestock in the local area whenever the King of Xia went to a place. In the end, raising livestock became an agricultural activity that was equal to growing millet and wheat, so livestock trading became more and more popular every year.

Someone listened for a long time and couldn't bear it anymore and interrupted, "Do you guys know that Dong Chang of Yuezhou has become emperor?"

The field is quiet.

Zhao Cheng glanced at him and found that he was a young scholar, who heard that his accent should be from Guanzhong, and he was quite friendly, and he immediately knew it.

"Dong Chang jumped into the clown, he didn't know what to say about life or death?" Someone sneered: "How big is he in territory, how many soldiers are there?"

"Yes." The young scholar nodded and said, "But now there is a person's territory, and his troops are far more powerful than Dong Chang. Will he be the emperor?"

There was no one in the yard. Was this guy so angry or drunk with tea?

Zhao Cheng coughed and said, "Now the world is in chaos. How many years have the Jin merchants been stable in Helong, Guanzhong, Guanbei, and Jin merchants? The emperor of the Li family cannot be polite to the good people. Can he still stop others from protecting the people? There are many merchants and merchants here, and their business has been done well over the years, right?"

"It's really good. I stayed in the market for a few days, and everyone concentrated on completing the transaction and went home. King Xia got a silver dollar and asked me to tell me that we merchants should build a temple for him." Someone said.

Well, the words are a bit stingy, but everyone understands the meaning and has a deep understanding.

During the expo, we traded in a closed door and used virtual standard silver dollars to keep accounts. They made it convenient for transactions and the government to collect taxes, so everyone saved a lot of trouble.

Many businesses that were not completed before have been completed are now completed, and the scale of everyone's business has generally expanded.

Not to mention, the Silk Road trade with the Western Regions has been opened up, and many beneficiaries have been benefited.

"It should be a temple for King Xia." A family with a strong Sichuan voice and Hu Shang looked like a monk said: "Last year, I sold a batch of incense medicine in Anyi Market, and I had a few silver dollars. I took the ticket and left. I took the ticket to the market this year, and I can still use it. The reputation of King Xia is nothing."

"If King Xia proclaims himself emperor, I support it." Someone put down the tea bowl and said without hesitation.

"I support it too, the world should change." Someone said again.

The young scholar was stunned.

He started to talk, but wanted to complain and gain the support of others. But the development of the matter was beyond his expectations. Why did the merchants so shamelessly support the change of dynasty? They also wanted to build a temple for King Xia? They were worshipped as one of the ancestors of your business, right?

"You...you..." the young scholar stuttered and said, "The Tang Dynasty has been in power for more than 200 years, and it is what people want."

As soon as he said this, the merchants laughed.

They traveled around the world and were knowledgeable. Many of them were armed and engaged in business, dared to fight and fought, and had a relatively comprehensive understanding of the situation in the world. Today, the Tang Dynasty either King Xia was called saint or King Liang was called emperor, or many people were called one emperor and one side, and there would be no other ending.

Of course, people still have their hearts, but they are just habits. For example, people are used to going to Chang'an to take exams, sending important case files to Chang'an Ministry of Justice, sending music craftsmen to Beijing for service, and offering sacrifices...

But these things are slowly changing.

This world is very different from more than ten years ago. More than ten years later, it must be very different from now. This is undoubtedly a matter of no doubt.

Zhao Cheng did not laugh, but observed closely and thought silently.

If the King of Xia proclaimed himself emperor, there would be no opposition to the merchant class in Kansai. They have money, connections, knowledge, and private soldiers, and their strength should not be underestimated.

After so many years of running Guanxi, the merchants have benefited greatly. The King of Xia finally got a reward, which is a gratifying congratulation.

...

The next day, Zhao Cheng was summoned to Longchi Palace.

The female Shi Zhao Shu led him in and then stepped down.

Zhao Cheng politely bowed and said goodbye.

Zhao Shu is Zhao Jian's granddaughter. She used to be a maid in the County Prince's Mansion. Now she is a maid from Longchi Palace and works under the command of Aunt Feng of Shanggong. Strictly speaking, Zhao Jian and the Zhao family in Qinzhou can only be said to have a connection, and they are really not relatives.

But as the saying goes, wealth is in the deep mountains, some people know that the Zhao family in Tianshui has developed and Zhao's branches all over the country come to cling to each other. This is a very normal thing.

Zhao Guangfeng's family has been in Jingzhao Prefecture for several generations and has basically cut off contact with the Zhao family in Qinzhou. When he was promoted, he was not thanks to the support of "Concubine Zhao". Everyone talked about their generations, they were all relatives. Hello, I, Hello, everyone.

"Come?" The meeting was at the martial arts venue. Shao Shude was naked and had just finished practicing martial arts. When he saw Zhao Cheng coming in, he was not in a hurry to change his clothes and asked casually.

This is to treat you as your own person. Of course Zhao Cheng understood, so he quickly stepped forward and saluted.

"Sit down." Shao Shude said.

Shangfu Pei carefully wiped the sweat beads for Shao Shude, and the girl Shi stood aside and did not dare to help.

"Chen Xu and Zhao, can you catch up with relatives with them?" Shao Shude asked.

The girl Pei understands it very well and is very good at it. When she works, she often reveals her fair and deep chest, with a little breathing. Her technique is more like flirting than wiping.

This woman! After serving for a few years, she has given birth to two children one after another. As such, the third one is not far away.

"King, the Chen Xu Zhao family ran away when they fell into the Qianzhou. After regaining Qinzhou during the middle age, Zhao Xu Shuwen, the father of Zhao Xu, sent someone back to Qinzhou to talk about Xu Zongyi, and then broke off contact." Zhao Cheng replied: "The Chen Xu Zhao family made a fortune with military achievements. Zhao Feng's great-grandfather Zhao Bin became a general of the Zhongwu Army. His son Zhao Yingqi, Sun Zhao Shuwen, and great-grandson Zhao Feng were the three brothers of Chen Xu. He had checked the genealogy of the old house in Tianshui and did not enter the Chen Xu Zhao family branch. He didn't know what happened more than a hundred years ago."

"I'm sorry." Shao Shude praised.

It is normal for Chen Xu Zhao, Jingzhao Zhao, and Binzhou Zhao clan, it is not listed. They have all separated and no one knows each other. If they were not considering their ancestors, Zhao Shuwen, the father of Zhao Feng, might not have returned to Qinzhou to take a look.

"Secretly send someone to Xuzhou to build relationships." Shao Shude said: "I can't write two Zhaos in one stroke. They are both descendants of Tianshui ancestors. They have only been separated for more than a hundred years. They talk about the family friendship and the family tree. They are all family members. Is it understandable?"

"I understand." Zhao Cheng bowed and responded.

"If Zhao Xi could join me, Zhao would still serve as the governor of the Zhongwu Army in Xuzhou." Shao Shude promised: "Keep your word."

"Zhongwu's fierce soldiers have been with Cai's thief for many years and are famous all over the world. If they can help me defeat Quanzhong, they will have greater wealth." Shao Shude said again: "It's more confidential. I guess it's not easy to enter Xuzhou now. You can think of a solution. I will ask Zhao Guangfeng to help you."

"As for the order." Zhao Chengying said: "Quanzhong digging a river is like digging a grave. All knowledgeable people curse and laugh at him. Even those who are loyal to Quanzhong sigh and make a mistake. Zhao Xu should make a choice if he is loyal to him."
