The distance between Xinfeng County and Shangyuli (Zhangli) is about twenty miles. Due to inconvenient transportation in ancient times, you must set out in advance to arrive at Xinfeng County before opening the market and occupy a good position in advance.

In the early morning, when it was still dark, Zhang Ran and Sankui and his son were busy putting the fish kept in the pond into wooden barrels, and then lifting the large wooden barrels filled with fish onto a wheelbarrow and tied them firmly with ropes.

After almost packing up, the three of them hurriedly ate the breakfast prepared by Sankui's mother, they pushed the deer cart and set off along the country road.

Zhangli is located at the foot of Mount Li and is relatively remote, so the road leading to the town is basically a typical countryside dirt road, and it has not been repaired. It is all made by people, so the road is rugged, overgrown, and extremely bumpy and difficult to walk.

In addition, the three of them were pushing a cart of fish, making it more difficult and harder to walk. It took only seven or eight miles apart, but the three of them walked for nearly an hour.

This would be unimaginable if it were in later generations. It would take only ten minutes to ride an electric bike or a bicycle in the countryside.

After walking down this mountain road, Zhang Ran, who came to the man, felt particularly uncomfortable and tired for the first time, when he went out...

We stopped and stopped all the way until the path crossed into the official road, the situation improved slightly and the speed slightly accelerated. But despite this, it took more than two hours for the three of us to finally reach the foot of Xinfeng City.

Looking at the small-scale but historical city in front of him, Zhang Ran felt a lot of emotion and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "If you want to be rich, build roads first! This is really a famous saying that is universal throughout the ages!"

As the name suggests, Xinfeng is Xinfengyi. On the way, according to Sankui's father Zhang Meng, during the Qin Dynasty for more than 70 years, Xinfeng's name was not Xinfeng, but Liyi. The reason why it was renamed Xinfeng was because of Emperor Gao.

Emperor Gao was Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang. After Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu and decided to dominate the world, he took his father Liu Taigong to Chang'an City to enjoy his happiness. However, Liu Taigong lived in Fengyi all his life, suddenly left his hometown and moved to the deep palace. He felt very uncomfortable. After a long time, he couldn't help missing his hometown, so he often sighed and was depressed.

After Liu Bang learned the reason, in order to make the emperor happy, he ordered the skilled craftsmen to build the Xinfeng City based on the old Qin Liyi according to the original appearance of his hometown Fengyi.

After the completion of the Xinfeng City, the layout is not only exactly the same as the layout of Fengyi in Peijun, but even the people and livestock in the city were moved from the original Fengyi.

After decades of development, Xinfeng has grown from a city with a population of thousands and tens of thousands.

Yes, in the Han Dynasty, the county had a population of less than 10,000, and it was called a "county". Only when the county had a population of more than 10,000, could it be called a "county".

In Xinfeng, the county town alone has tens of thousands of people, so it is not an exaggeration to call it a "big city".

But ten thousand people... If it is put into modern society, tens of thousands of people will be larger towns at best.

Facing the rising sun, Zhang Ran and Sankui and his son pushed a cart of fish slowly moving towards the gate of Xinfeng City with the flow of people entering the city.

After more than ten minutes of queueing, it was finally Zhang Ran and the other three.

But unexpectedly, after just two steps, a city guard reached out to stop the three of them: "Stop! Come with the talisman!"

"Here~"

Zhang Meng quickly stopped the car, took out three wooden calfs from his arms, and handed them to the city gate guard in front of him.

After the man took the Mu Du, he looked carefully, then compared the three Mu Du Du, looked at Zhang Ran and the other two and said, "Zhang Meng, Zhang Sankui, Zhang Ran, Xixiang, Xiting, Shangyuli people?"

"Yes, yes, we three are all villagers in Shangyuli!" Zhang Meng replied quickly.

"Well," the city guard nodded with satisfaction, handed the Mu Du back to Zhang Meng, and asked casually: "What are you going to go into the city?"

"I caught some fish at home and planned to go to the market to sell it for some money!"

While speaking, Zhang Meng untied the ropes on the wooden barrel and showed the fish in the barrel to the city gatekeeper.

"Okay, you can go into the city!"

After seeing clearly that the goods on Zhang Ran and the others' cars were indeed fish, the city gate guard let the three of them pass by.

......

After obtaining the permission of the city gatekeeper, the three of them hurriedly tied the wooden barrel and the car again, and then pushed the car into the city.

Walking slowly along the streets of Xinfeng City, there are pedestrians coming and going, riding horses, carrying loads, pushing carts, and ragged clothes. They are all kinds of people gathering almost all kinds of people.

Perhaps because today is the day of opening, the streets in Xinfeng City can almost be called pedestrians and endless streams. Flags are waving on both sides of the road, and wine shops, butchers, restaurants, and other shops are lined up one after another, almost full of customers.

Whether it was the shopkeeper or the street vendors, they were all filled with smiles, warmly greeting merchants, wine, cakes, meat... they were filled with shouts and hawking everywhere.

Following Sankui's father, he walked through the bustling streets, and the group of three finally came to the fish market in the west of the city.

"When you arrive, let's just go here! Let's find a place to unload the goods first, and then start selling fish!" Zhang Meng said as he looked around, looking for a shadeless place, parked the wheelbarrow aside, wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned to Zhang Ran and the others.

"Well, okay! You are so tired all the way. Uncle, sit down and take a break, and leave the rest to me and Sankui!"

Zhang Ran said as he greeted Sankui. The two of them quickly untied the rope on the wheelbarrow and then lifted the wooden barrel on the car.

.....

After sitting in the shade of the tree for a few minutes, seeing that Zhang Ran and the others were almost done, Zhang Meng got up and went to the wheelbarrow to grop for a while, then came to his stall with a slender wooden stick, and gently tapped the lid of the wooden barrel and said, "Sankui, open the lid of the barrel and light up the goods!"

"oh oh..."

Hearing his own Ahon's order, Sankui nodded quickly and said yes, reached out and lifted the lid of the wooden barrel.

"Vomit~"

Just as the lid of the wooden barrel was opened, a pungent fishy smell and rotten smell spread around instantly. Zhang Ran and Sankui, who were close to the wooden barrel, were the first to be hit and almost spit out the brown rice they ate in the morning.

The sudden stench made Zhang Ran and the others confused. They subconsciously began to look for the source of the stench, and involuntarily turned their eyes to the wooden barrel.

I saw that there were many white-white grass carp floating in the wooden barrel, densely packed with more than a dozen.
