    </p> After giving that Fangzheng a few cents, he finally entered Fangshi.  The Fangshi in the Tang Dynasty was the location of the market in the city. Almost all the shops were concentrated in the Fangshi, including ordinary inns.  Business usually starts in the afternoon and closes before sunset. Shopkeepers close their doors and a curfew is imposed on the streets, so no one is allowed to walk.  After Ye Mei got involved, he looked for a shop that was about to open and inquired about it. He learned that the businessman named Tan was not a traveling merchant, but also had a small store. He went straight to the store and knocked hard for a while before listening.  Someone came running to open the door muttering curses.  </p> ¡°What¡¯s the matter?¡± The man was a dark, muscular man. After opening the door, he didn¡¯t let Ye Mei in. Instead, he stared with his hands on his hips, as if he had been disturbed from a good dream.  </p> ¡°There is a big business coming to the door.¡± Ye Mei cupped his hands and said, ¡°Is Mr. Lang the Duke of Qinyang?¡±</p> ¡°I am not a servant.¡± The strong black man turned around and shouted: ¡°Wu Lang, Wu Lang,  There's business coming to your door!"</p> "Oh? I wonder why the magpies are chirping happily this morning. It turns out that it's a distinguished guest who came to the door early But Xi Ting, it's not time to open the door yet, please ask the guest to wait.  . "</p> "I can't wait, I can't wait!" Ye Zhu suddenly shouted: "I have an urgent need, why bother to come out to meet you!"</p> "You are so unreasonable.  , the market is not allowed to open before noon, if you are asked to wait, just wait!" The strong man called Xi Tong shouted: "Go away, go away, and wait for me to close the door!"</p> "  I want to buy all the remaining bamboos you have, all of them!" Ye Zhu shouted.  </p> "Oh?" Hearing this, Xi Ting did not chase him away anymore, but shouted to the back: "This is a big customer, Wulang, you'd better come out and meet me!"</p> "He's a big customer again!"  So what, we won¡¯t do business until the time comes. Half of the moso bamboo in our store has been bought, and the remaining half has been ordered these days. Tell him that we are out of stock."</p>  Before Xi Tong could tell him what to say, Ye Ming was already anxious.  </p> The person who ordered the other party¡¯s remaining half of the bamboo was most likely Ye Chang!  </p> If it was really Ye Chang who ordered the remaining half of the goods, then it would be possible for him to bypass the mountain and really bring the water to the slope.  </p> ¡°I am willing to buy the moso bamboo you have in your store at a high price, a high price!¡± Ye Zhu said again.  </p> "High price? A bamboo is only two cents, and the better ones are only three cents. I have three hundred more. If you offer a higher price, it will be nine hundred cents For nine hundred cents, let me  Lose your reputation?" The people in the room were also angry: "Drive him away, Xi Zhu. If he doesn't leave, call Fang Ding!" "Four cents!" Ye Mei shouted.  </p> "Hurry!" There was no hesitation in it.  </p> ¡°Five articles!¡± Ye Zhu gritted his teeth!  </p> ¡°Hurry up!¡± The strong black man named Xi Tong started to take action.  </p> ¡°Six articles!¡± Ye Zhu almost shouted at the top of his lungs.  </p> ¡°Xizhu, you don¡¯t want to do it, why don¡¯t you hurry up?¡±</p> Ye Zhu raised the price to double the usual best price, but still failed to impress Qin Qinshou. He was pushed out by the strong black man.  After entering the store, he walked away angrily, turned a few steps, and heard the burly black man behind him spit on the ground: "He is a distinguished guest, but he is an idiot who wants us to destroy our own sign"</p  > At this time, businessmen also regarded trustworthiness as a virtue, and it was really difficult for others to break trust. When Ye Ming thought about it, he thought of his wife's broomstick.  If you go back like this, you won't have to eat a broomstick, and at least you will have to eat a rolling pin. More importantly, if you let that little beast succeed, it will be almost impossible to take action on his property in the future.  Even the real estate and the fields in the three names are still worth two to three hundred guan, which is much more than the money spent to buy bamboo.  </p> Besides, people are fighting for a breath, even if they are not for those possessions, they can¡¯t let that little beast be proud!  </p> As soon as he thought of this, Ye Zhu turned around again: "Ten coins, I will give you ten coins a piece!"  Business, let alone ten cents, even if it is fifteen cents, you have to go away obediently!"</p> The strong black man Xi Tong picked up the door latch and looked like he was about to hit Ye Ming, when a tall and strong man walked out of the door!  The black-faced man said: "Don't say fifteen coins, even eighteen coins, I'm just considering"</p> "Twenty coins!" Finally meeting the Qinyang man, Ye Mei knew that this was his last  Given the opportunity, he gritted his teeth and quoted a super high price.  </p> In fact, a piece of bamboo worth three cents was quoted to him as twenty cents, which was already a sky-high price.  At this time, the Tang Dynasty was in its prime, and food prices were relatively stable. Fifteen cents could buy a bushel of rice. An adult man could eat six bushels of rice per month for only ninety cents.  After Ye Mei shouted out twenty coins, he was stunned for a moment, and then gritted his teeth: "If I hadn't been waiting for the moso bamboo to be used, I wouldn't have offered such a price. If it went up, I wouldn't be able to afford it. Then I would have to go to other places to buy it!"</p> "Sure enough twenty cents  ?" Qinyang native Qin Qinshou hesitated.  </p> "That's natural!"</p> "I still have three hundred poles of moso bamboo"</p> "That's six thousand coins!" Ye Zhu gritted his teeth again and waved to the servant,  The servant handed the sack on his shoulder into his hands.  </p> "Lang Jun carries so many copper coins with him?" Tan Qinshou was shocked when he saw him like this.  </p>????????? Six thousand Wen, that is, six guans of money, if folded into the era before Ye Changchuan came, this would be 25 kilograms of copper, which is not so easy to carry on your back!  Ye Mei grinned and weighed the bag in his hands. He was very reluctant to part with it, but he still handed it over: "There are three strings here. You can click on them!"</p> Tan Qinshou took the bag and said,  I clicked through them one by one, and it turned out to be three thousand coins.  He put down the purse and hesitated: "This is still half"</p> "I still have it here!"</p> Ye Mei took out a purse from his arms, and after opening it, there was a piece of silk handkerchief inside.  Opening the silk handkerchief again, there are three small yellow gold pins inside.  Ye Ming added one of them to him: "It's full of real gold, five coins each, you can weigh it!"</p> This is the treasure at the bottom of the dowry box of the Liu family. Ye Ming can't afford so many copper coins at the same time.  , so he asked for help and promised to pay it back after getting the property of Sanzhi.  After Qin Qinshou weighed the weight, he nodded: "If we calculate it based on the price of gold in Chang'an, it will be enough to cover three guan of money It only costs 6,000 yuan to buy 300 moso bamboos. Dear guest, I'm sorry to be blunt, but I will definitely do it afterwards."  I will regret it."</p> "I will never regret it!"</p> "There is no basis for what you say. If the gentleman comes to look for trouble with a bunch of bamboos in two days, I will not be able to deal with it."<  /p> ¡°I¡¯d like to establish written evidence!¡±</p> Although Ye Zhu himself doesn¡¯t know much about literacy, there are naturally poor scholars in Fangshi in Xiuwu County who specialize in writing for others. He also invited Fangzheng and Zuolinyou.  She became the middleman and quickly established a written record.  For doing such a big business, each of those middlemen received a thank you gift of thirty to five cents.  After all this was completed, the market drum started to play over there. Qin Qinshou smiled and held his hand towards Ye Ming: "It is indeed a distinguished customer The market has just opened now. Can you order some moso bamboo with me?"</p> "No, just  Here." Ye Zhi is willing to leave.  </p> "Okay, okay, Xi Tong, go and make a pot of tea, and I will drink one with your distinguished guest."</p> The purpose of Ye Tong's stay was to watch Ye Chang's jokes.  </p> When he learned that Ye Chang had also entered the city, he knew that this guy must have come to buy bamboo and spent six guan. If he hadn¡¯t witnessed Ye Chang¡¯s expression from full of hope to despair, Ye Ming would have felt  Thoughts are not clear.  </p> After three hundred market drums were beaten, the market door opened wide, customers of all kinds came in one after another, and various shops in the market also began to sing and sell.  Ye Chang walked into this market, listened to various singing tunes, and saw various signs. He couldn't help but feel a little dazed for a moment.  </p> The commercial street in the county town of Tang Dynasty was quite lively - although it was just like a farmer's market in a small town in later generations, the sparrow was small but had all the internal organs.  However, although it is lively, in such a crowded situation, if a fire breaks out, the situation will not be good.  In particular, the streets outside the square are narrow and can easily spread to other houses.  </p> He walked away, followed by Ye Shu and Liu Kun. This brother and brother-in-law were the only people he could trust more. They had to come to do the things he came to do today.  </p> "This way, this way." Liu Kun pointed the way with a smile: "The Qinyang people's shop is over here." </p> Ye Chang quickly arrived in front of the shop and walked away from a distance.  I saw a flag hanging in front of the shop with the word "bamboo" embroidered on it.  Ye Chang was in a happy mood, so he couldn't help but recite a poem from later generations: "I would rather eat without meat than live without bamboo. Without meat, people will be thin, without bamboo, people will be vulgar" Sitting in the shop  Ye Ming inside sneered: "This little beast can also write limericks!"  p> After saying that, he walked out. When he saw Liu Kun, he was inevitably stunned: "Hey, it's you?"</p> "It's me. It's okay if the store still remembers me. Last time I was with the store  The customer in question is my uncle." Liu Kun said.  </p> Ye Mei, who was sitting inside, sneered again. He was a little strange at first, when did Ye Chang buy those moso bamboos, but now he realized that it was actually Liu Kun who did it.  </p> Liu Kun was an under-appreciated branch of the Liu family in Xiaoliu Village, but a kiln maker actually dared to come forward to work for Ye Chang.  Ye Mei secretly wondered whether he should let his fierce wife return to her parents' home.This trip made Liu Kun suffer a lot.  </p> "Young Master has just read a good poem, and I have a heartfelt request. I would like to leave my poem in the shop I wonder if it is okay?"</p> Although it is noon, but because there is no  With transparent glass windows, the store is still relatively dark.  Ye Chang and others were standing in the light, while Ye Mei was sitting in the dark, so Ye Chang and others did not notice anyone inside.  Hearing what the shop owner said, Ye Chang smiled and said: "I heard this poem written by others. I am just a countryman. I don't know how to write poems. If the master wants to use it, just use it."</p> "  Thank you so much, but I don¡¯t know who the original author of this poem was? ¡±</p> The literary style of the Tang Dynasty also flourished, especially after the imperial examination was launched in the Sui Dynasty.  , can be described as a star in poetry.  Although Tan Qinshou was a businessman, the Qinyang family was also a large family, and they were somewhat heirlooms of poems and books, so they had some arty thoughts.  He asked about the author of this poem, but Ye Chang was embarrassed. Could he tell him that it was written by a bearded and fat-bellied man named Su Shi hundreds of years later?  </p> "Ahem Mr. Qin ate an egg and thought it was delicious. Does he really need to know which chicken laid the egg?" Ye Chang asked.  </p> Tan Qinshou was stunned at first, and then suddenly realized in his heart: This poem must have been written by the young man in front of him, but he was modest and low-key and unwilling to say it.  </p> Although the words of the poem are simple, the meaning is long. Tan Qinshou solemnly handed over his hands: "Please, please come in and talk."</p> After his repeated invitations, Ye Chang finally stepped into the door of the shop.  </p> In Qin Qinshou¡¯s shop, moso bamboo is only one of the goods sold. There are many other bamboo products piled in the shop.  Ye Chang's eyes just adjusted to the light, and he saw a sneer on Ye Zhu's face.  </p> ¡°You little beast, why don¡¯t you be polite when you see me?¡± Ye Mei shouted.  </p> "It turns out that Uncle Changzhi is here." Ye Chang smiled and saluted: "Sorry, sorry." </p> "You little beast, you can also recite poetry? But your poems are nonsense.  , "The absence of meat makes people thin, the absence of bamboo makes people vulgar I think it is the absence of bamboo that makes people cry!" Ye Ming scolded him for a while, but when he said the last sentence, he laughed.  .  </p> He just wanted to watch Ye Chang cry here. Thinking of Ye Chang's sharp tongue and sharp tongue that day, which made him speechless, he now felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.  </p> However, before he stopped laughing, he felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.  </p> The shop owner, Qin Qinshou, looked at him with doubtful eyes, while Ye Shu and Liu Kun, who were following Ye Chang, looked at himseemingly with a trace of pity?  </p> Ye Mei changed his mind and stared at Ye Chang again. He found that there was something inexplicable in Ye Chang's expression, but he was definitely not panicked.  This made Ye Zhu very unhappy, and his thoughts were naturally unclear, so he decided not to hide it anymore.  </p> "Little beast, I have bought all the moso bamboos here. You can go away. I want to see how you can collect that many moso bamboos in a few days!" Ye Mei said,  Then he laughed again.  </p> Ye Chang stared at him until his laughter stopped, then shook his head: "Uncle Changzhi bought the moso bamboo in this store?"</p> "That's natural!" Ye Mei said gloomily.  : "You little beast, kneel down and beg me. Since I am a cousin to your dead ghost and your biological father, I may give you one or two!"</p> "You must have bought them at a high price?" Ye  Chang said again.  </p> "Hmph, I like to pay high prices, what does that have to do with you?" Ye Zhu said.  </p> Ye Chang shook his head again: "Tsk, tsk." </p> This reaction was completely beyond Ye Miao's expectation. Ye Miao was still waiting to see Ye Chang cry heartbrokenly. He paused for a moment.  Thinking about why Ye Chang was like this, he saw Ye Chang arching his hands towards Tan Qinshou: "Congratulations."</p> Tan Qinshou looked a little strange, and returned the gift with cupped fists: "Same joy, same joy."</p> Ye Chang said: "  When my brother-in-law comes, he should have made it clear to the shopkeeper, right?"</p> "Yes, it has been made clear."</p> "In that case, according to our agreement, please settle the account with the shopkeeper.  "</p> Qin Qinshou waved to Xi Tong, and Xi Tong took out a sack. Ye Miao's eyes suddenly twitched: He remembered that Qin Qinshou collected his copper coins and gold collars and stuffed them.  Here we are!  </p> ¡°This iswhat¡¯s going on?¡± He was a little confused, but he already felt vaguely uneasy.  </p> Qin Qinshou handed over the bags containing Sanzhang money and Jin Yan to Ye Chang's hand, and arched his hand again: "Please count it." </p> "It's okay, I believe in the Tan shopkeeper." Ye  Chang Chang handed the money bag to Liu Kun with a smile, and said to Qin Qinshou:"We have other things to do, so we'll say goodbye." </p> </p> The latest chapter of this book was first published by Chuangshi Chinese Network, the place where the latest, hottest and fastest original online works are first published!  </p>
