What to do with a full-scale life

Chapter 612 Achievement, Welder
It was evening when the brothers and sisters of Yelu's family came to Yuhang by car, but they didn't come with Zhao Rong, because Zhao Rong still needed to accompany Zhao Zhen there, so they let them come by themselves.

"Brother, you said that if there are more things on the city wall that day, in time, will our Liao Kingdom still win?"

Both of them used Chinese names after they came here. For one thing, although Song and Liao are said to be a country of brothers, in fact, Song people don’t like Liao people. So they simply used Chinese names.

In fact, Brother Zhang has no concept of Liao people and Jin people, because from the genetic map, Liao people and Jin people are the northern Han people. The genetic maps of the northern and southern Han people are highly similar. The Fang and Han people are essentially the same species, so in terms of face, wearing the clothes of the Liao people is Bibala Zhao Jingzhong, and wearing the clothes of the Han family is Feng Ying.

In addition, the Liao people themselves are fully Sinicized. After all, they intend to inherit the great rule. As a prince and princess, they need to learn Chinese from an early age. They both speak pure Central Plains Mandarin. Where did the old rulers come from? Compared with the Wuyue language area where Wu Nong's soft language is everywhere, they seem to be orthodox Central Plains people.

Yelu Jun's Han name is Xiao Jun, and Yelu Tri's Han name is Xiao Rong. They are brothers and sisters, both of whom are descendants of Yelu Hongji and Xiao Guanyin. Feng Liao Shunzong.

Hearing his sister's question, Xiao Jun sat in the carriage and pondered for a long time. Before that night, he didn't think that the State of Song was a threat, but after that night, he knew that some things had quietly changed.

It is true that the Liao Kingdom is very strong, and it can even be said that it is the strongest in the current world. Barbarians are not even considered by them.

But the fall of 3 people that night made them realize one thing, that is, if there is another war between Song and Liao, will they have the ability to defeat the Song people like they did before.

The answer is unknown, and this unknown is still a relatively optimistic answer, because Xiao Jun knew in his heart that his strongest cavalry could not charge within a hundred steps in front of those iron bars. Even an arrow with all its strength can't reach half of the range of others.

On the frontal battlefield, even if the Liao Kingdom had 30 million, the final outcome would be nothing more than being wiped out like the rebels that night.

This is also the reason why he must come to Yuhang, a magical place, to have a look, because it is said that those terrifying weapons that make one's belief collapse are all produced from this place.

As soon as the carriage entered the city gate, they were led by the local guide to the best restaurant in the city.Because Yuhang is becoming more and more prosperous, many related service industries have actually begun to be derived here. For example, because of the increasing number of tourists, the profession of guides naturally appeared in the city. They are familiar with every corner of the city and where the restaurants are delicious. , Where is the best hotel to live in, where is the cheapest place, and where is the place to rip off customers? These people are very knowledgeable.

Strictly speaking, this should be the first generation of professional tour guides, but now they don't have a standard to restrict them, they all rely on self-consciousness.And the way they attract customers is to stand at the gate of the city and wait for tourists to enter the city and wait for verification.

The Yelu brothers and sisters chose a guide, and this guide was more conscientious. The first thing he did was to take them to the biggest hotel in the city for a night.

After arriving here, there is actually nothing that can surprise the Yelu brothers and sisters, because they are people who have seen the world, and they have not seen the main street of Yuhang at night.

The only thing that surprised them was that the buildings here were very tall and large. There were many tall buildings with more than seven floors, and this big hotel could even have nine floors.Nine floors, this is already the highest level. Generally speaking, only the royal family can use the number of floors, but it seems that there are not too many restrictions here.

"It's so bright."

After Xiao Rong walked into the lobby, she looked at the lights above her head in amazement. The bright lights made her eyes daze, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.

At this time, the guide had already opened a room for them. After knowing that they were brothers and sisters, he specially opened a suite for them. One entered two suites, which was very suitable.

"If the two of you trust me, I'll go and exchange the money for the two of you, and convert it into a commercial bill, so that you can buy it conveniently."

"Business ticket?"

"This commercial ticket is a pass for our land boundary. It can be exchanged for goods from merchants in this land boundary. There is a mark on the commercial ticket. It is always the same, and there are many things left."

"In that case, I'll go with you."

After all, they are the crown prince and the princess, and when they go out, they will bring a few guards and servants with them. In the past, the servants carried the money and silver with them when they bought things, but if they saw something big, they had to buy it. It can only be exchanged with gold. After all, tens of hundreds of hanging coins are okay, but thousands of hanging coins are not so convenient.

And Xiao Jun was quite curious about this commercial ticket, so he followed the guide to the local chamber of commerce in Yuhang. There was a day and night window here, no matter what time of day he came, he could easily redeem the commercial ticket, which was very convenient.

If it is exchanged for [-] guan at one time, the shop will also give some small gifts, such as paying for the guest's food and lodging for the past few days at a designated inn, and the service is quite good.

And when they came to the main street where the window of the Chamber of Commerce is located, the two of them felt a blur in front of their eyes, as if they were in a dream. In the daytime, there is a lot of traffic, the roadside shops and hawkers extend from the street to the corner, the sound of bargaining has never stopped, and the bulk of the goods are pulled by the bullock cart through the center of the street. Local merchants are not uncommon, and there are even caravans from the Western Regions who set up tents along the street.

Seeing the scene in front of them, the two brothers and sisters of Yelu's family couldn't help but not speak for a long time, as if the prosperous Chang'an read from a Tang poem came back to life, the astonishing happiness and prosperity of living in peace and prosperity, this is what they have experienced in any situation. Didn't see it anywhere.

As the prince of a country, what Xiao Jun saw was not only the prosperity on the surface, but also the overall planning ability, operation ability and planning ability behind this prosperity. Behind the prosperity must represent the smoothness of political affairs and the harmony of people's hearts.And extending it further is the unparalleled support and maintenance capabilities in this region.

Only in this way can so many people willingly travel so far to sell and buy things here.

But this is what the prince thinks, the princess doesn't care about that, Xiao Rong has never seen so many novelties in the Liao Kingdom, because the Liao Kingdom pays more attention to military affairs than the Song Dynasty. In terms of aspect, it is indeed not as good as others. Although the capital of the Liao Kingdom is now in Luoyang, and it also has its own two markets, but if you have never seen the long street market here, Xiao Rong might still think that the market in Luoyang is the best in the world.

At this time, the guide next to him said: "This is a night market, usually there are some gadgets and food, if you really want to buy it, you have to go to the distribution center during the day, that place has all the goods in the world, and the price is fair. Some prices Even cheaper than their local area."

"Why is it so cheap?" Xiao Jun asked curiously, "Isn't the loss on the road counted?"

"Then I don't know. I haven't discussed it before, so I don't know the mystery."

At this time, Xiao Rong had already gone so far, she didn't even realize that she had run so far, and now she was crowded with a few girls at a booth selling rouge and gouache to try out the color.

It's okay for girls to be innocent, but it's not for men. Xiao Jun's face was locked now, and his heart was full of twists and turns. He kicked the rock-solid road under his feet but was flat enough to reflect light. The expressions of the two or three-story neatly built buildings around them, as well as the soldiers patrolling back and forth on the street, gradually became anxious and restless.

Because he knows that the more prosperous the Song Dynasty, the higher the probability of war between the two countries in the future. The current Song Emperor may not, but he is already old, and he doesn't know how many more years he can be the emperor. No one knows what will happen to Emperor Song.

"Brother! Brother!"

At this moment, Xiao Rong called for her brother from a distance, and Xiao Jun walked over quickly, only to find that she was already standing in front of a stall selling kitchen knives and scissors. There are many, the expensive ones can be sold for five or six hundred yuan, and the cheap ones also have a style of nine yuan and a pair of scissors.

Xiao Jun has loved swords since he was a child, and he is very familiar with these things. Most of the knives in Liao Kingdom are still cast iron knives, but he found that these are all refined steel knives. These are obviously only kitchen knives, but no matter what kind of steel they are Whether it is the forging process or the forging process, it is not comparable to the Liao Kingdom. After he picked up one and tried it, he felt that using these good steels to forge knives is simply... violent, and what is even more annoying is the Liao Kingdom. A knife needs at least ten hangs, but here it only needs three to five hundred coins.

Afterwards, they went to see the luxury stores that plagued the Liao Kingdom. The most famous ones are clothing, glassware and porcelain. ...That is the three-year harvest of an ordinary farmer, and it is still before tax.But those rich people in the city flocked to it so flockingly that they would be ashamed if they didn't wear a silk skirt made in Yuhang, Song Dynasty.

And the glassware, the price is even more lawless, just a few days ago, before the two brothers and sisters came here, there were people in the market in Luoyang who were bullying for the glass Buddha, and bought the glass Buddha for [-] Guan. The shop here is bigger than that, and the workmanship is better, and even the luxurious Buddha statue with a circle of gold on the outside is only [-] pieces.

After crossing a river, the value has doubled by more than 2000 times?Or is bullying Liao people stupid and rich?
"This dress is so cheap!"

At this moment, Xiao Rong saw the label on it in the silk shop next to Liulidian and exclaimed in astonishment: "Just Sanguan! Brother, buy it, buy it, buy it! I want this skirt!"

Seeing his younger sister's eyes shining, Xiao Jun smiled helplessly. Sure enough, this woman is irresistible to a beautiful dress, and when he went over to see it, he realized why she lost her composure as a princess.

Because the whole body of the skirt was actually purple.

The color purple, it has been the color of nobles since ancient times, and the price has always been high. Although purple plants are everywhere, purple pigments have long been available, but it is not suitable for dyeing if there is color, so as long as it can be used Purple, which is used as a dye, usually costs three times as much as gold.

But the pure purple skirt in front of her is here, and its price is already extremely cheap compared to its worth.

"Why don't you buy it back as a gift for your mother, mother loves beauty..."

"Okay..." Xiao Rong was a little disappointed, her hand reluctantly scratched off the beautiful skirt: "Boss, we want this skirt."

The boss was sitting behind the counter with a bowl of rice eating at the moment, when he heard the conversation between the two, he laughed: "The two guests are from other countries, right?"

"How do you know?" Xiao Rong asked curiously.

The boss didn't speak, just pointed to the purple dress with his chopsticks, and then shouted at the back: "Chunxiu, Chunxiu, go get a batch of No. 14 skirts for customers to try. "

Not long after, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl came out with a box, put it down in front of the Yelu brothers and sisters, and opened the box. Unexpectedly, there was a complete set of purple skirts inside.

"Guest officer take it easy, they are all high-quality materials and good workmanship." The girl said generously: "But in my opinion, this sister is suitable for wearing the goose yellow rouge dress. The purple one is suitable for older people."

"Let me see, let me see." Even though Xiao Ronggui was a princess, she couldn't resist the impact of fashion trends, so she happily followed the girl and ran to the other side.

Xiao Jun, on the other hand, felt that taking this box of silk back and giving it away would be very face-saving, so he said very brightly: "My mother and aunt both love this purple color. I will take care of everything the store has."

The boss blinked his eyes: "My lord, don't you want to make fun of me. I have more than 14 pieces of this No. 1000 item. You want them all?"

"Ah?" Xiao Jun was stunned for a moment: "So many?"

"Not too much, not too much, I'm afraid I haven't dyed much after the fashion."

And when they were shopping around here like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden, Brother Zhang flashed a blinding light, and the two steel plates were welded together tightly.

The cheers in the whole workshop almost lifted the roof, not for other reasons, but because the first electric welding machine in human history was finally born, and with electric welding, a more complicated industrial machine will be born soon!

Brother Zhang's hands were all gray and black. He stood there with his hips akimbo looking at the people around him, and said with a smile, "Starting tomorrow, all your wages will be doubled."
