After entering the city, Jin San urged Ren Ze: "Go away, go quickly, today the first day of entering the city, you have to grab everything!"

Ren Ze smiled and said, "We are not residents here, what should the staff member rob?"

Jin Sandao: "Didn't you read the notice outside? The houses in the city are now owned by the state capital, and they are rented on a first come first served basis. How much does it cost to rent in a month? Whether we live here or do business here, renting a house first is serious. The better the location, the more rare it is!"

After hearing this, Ren Ze deeply agreed and walked quickly to the center of the city with Jin San. The state yamen made an appointment in the center of the city, and the store and housekeeping business wanted to come there. Today, he grabbed a good house in the area, and whether it was doing business by himself or subleting others, he would not lose money.

The people entered the city on the first day, and there was not even a person asking for directions. They just followed the road to the city. Shengzhou City was built very large, with about a thousand steps from north to south and east to west, making it a rare big city. Of course, in Du Zhongxiao's eyes, such a city was not big, and any county town in later generations was much larger than this.

The walls of the new city are particularly thick, which can prevent the current solid artillery, and there is no inner city construction. The state yamen is in the center of the city, the general's mansion, the transfer commander and the Changping commander are around, and the city is naturally divided into several areas.

Jin San and Ren Ze entered the city gate and walked all the way. Not long after, they arrived in front of the state yard. Looking around, they saw a crowded person in front of an official yard on the west side, and many people gathered. They hurriedly walked forward. When they got closer, they saw the three big words "House and Shop Affairs" on the plaque of the official yard.

Seeing that there were many people around, Jin San said to Ren Ze: "Let's go forward quickly and rent it at a good location."

The two of them squeezed into the crowd, looking at the wall in front, and then they saw a very large picture hanging on the wall. This picture is the basic structure of Shengzhou City. Except for the military camp and nearby and other government agencies, the residential and commercial areas are clearly visible.

Jin San took a quick look and said to Ren Ze: "Where is the mall? Let's see where the mall is?"

Ren Ze pointed to the picture on the wall and said, "Mr. Wait, the mall is in the west of the city! Look, it's there!"

Jin San didn't have the patience to look carefully, but just said, "Look at if there are any shops near the mall! Let's rent one there!"

There are many numbers on the picture, arranged according to the street and location. Ren Ze looked at it and told Jin San: "Mr. There are all shops near the shopping mall, and there are the most ones. But there is no one to rent in the picture, so we will look for someone to ask!"

After saying that, the two of them squeezed out of the crowd, asked a man dressed up in the public, and headed to the other side. Not long after, they saw a few tables lined up next to the hall, and there were crowds of people around. No need to ask, this is the place to rent a house.

There was a big sign in front of the case, which wrote the number range of their respective responsibilities. Ren Ze remembered the number and took Jin San to the place where the shops around the rental mall. There were not the most rented houses here, and there were two places with more people than here. One was around the state yamen and around the Xicheng Gate where the train entered the city. Shengzhou entered the Central Plains gate. It seemed that there were still many people doing long-distance business. They chose the state yamen first, and the next time they chose the place close to the station.

Crushing into the crowd, Jin San and Ren Ze stretched their necks and watched the person in front of them talk to the public servants doing business.

At this moment, a man pulled Ren Ze's sleeve and said happily: "Mr. Uncle, I didn't expect to meet you here!"

Ren Ze turned around and saw that he was a man in his thirties. He recognized him at a glance. It was the little prince who had taken in his family a few years ago. He couldn't help but be happy: "I really didn't expect that I would meet the little prince here! Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is a great joy!"

Wang Pu waved his hands repeatedly: "Mr. It's different from before. Don't call me the little prince again, which caused misunderstandings when you hear it. The flocks on Hequ Road are all concentrated around the city, changing tribes into villages, and no longer nomadic."

Ren Ze had heard of this, but was not surprised. He asked Wang Pu: "What should we call it now? Where are you moving?"

Wang Pudao: "Now I call me Wang Yuanwai, which is what others call me. We have moved out of Zhenwu County and arrived in the original Shengzhou. Now the prefecture has moved to Xincheng, and it has been changed to Dongsheng County. If the official has time, he will take a guest in my village."

Ren Ze said repeatedly and pointed at Jin San: "This is a great merchant from the Western Regions, Jin Yuanwai. Twenty years ago, he went to the capital to pay tribute, and he was also the deputy envoy. I heard that the Song army occupied Hequ Road, so he rushed to see if there was any business."

Wang Pu hurriedly saluted Jin San: "It turned out to be a big merchant from the Western Regions. Fortunately, if you have free time, go to my house as a guest."

While returning the gift, Jin San looked anxiously at the people lined up in front of him. He didn't know how to rent the shops here. It would be better not to be snatched away by the people in front of him. Business people care about the location of the shop most.

Seeing that Jin San was paying attention to the store, Ren Ze did not disturb him and said to Wang Pu: "The official is here today, and he also wants to rent a store?"

Wang Pudao: "That's right. A few months ago, Gongshu led a large army to attack Dangxiang, and won a lot of cattle and sheep. The price was very cheap at that time. I went with me to buy a lot, and this year it would definitely be a good harvest. The countryside was not promising, so I went here to rent a shop, which was also a way out for the young and old in the village. When I was in Tanglong Town, I saw those who opened shops, so I was very happy and had a lot of money in one day."

The two have been separated for many years, and Ren Ze is not easy to explain in detail. You see that you have nothing to do in business every day, but you don’t know how much they have to worry about. You earn a lot of money every day, and even when there is no business for many days, how can you be free? You ask casually: "What business do the official do?"

Wang Pudao: "I don't know anything, but I have some experience in selling cattle, sheep and livestock. I can't do this business if I'm small, so I can't do it. When I was in Tanglong Town that day, the noodles in a noodle restaurant next to me were delicious, so I wanted to learn to open a house."

Ren Ze said: "When doing food business, you can make money as long as you have customers. This industry is simple and simple. As long as the real material and the taste is unique, customers will visit you. But it is difficult to say it is difficult. Is it so easy to make real material? Not to mention that the taste is likeable."

Wang Pudao: "There are cattle and sheep in our farm, and of course the real materials are real. I have long thought that there is a place to sell livestock in the shopping mall opposite. I have agreed with the people who come to us that there must be no shortage of materials."

Seeing that Wang Pu was in full swing, Ren Ze didn't say much, but only wished him a prosperous business in the future.

It was Jin San's turn. He hurriedly caught the case and asked the official behind him: "How to rent the shops here?"

The Gongren said: "There are different places in the city and the prices are different. Here, there are shops along the street, one with two hundred a month, one with the second floor, and one with one hundred and fifty acres on the upper floor. Just write your name and pay 500 acres here. Once an official comes to collect it, he will be wherever he draws it."

Jin Sandao: "Does it rely on luck to draw? Can't you choose it yourself?"

The man shook his head: "Everyone has to choose the remaining shops. Who will rent the rest? Unless there are more than 50 cents per month for each shop, you can choose any shop. If the official is a big business and wants to choose a shop on the street, you don't have to be with these people."

Jin Sandao: "It is reasonable to say that the shops on the street are expensive, but only fifty cents a day, which is too expensive."

The man said, "Is there too much? Not too much. You can open a store on both sides of the street, which is equivalent to an extra storefront, and fifty cents are worth it."

Seeing that there were many people standing here, Ren Ze was out of patience to draw lots with them and said, "Okay, then I'll give me a shop on the street!"

After hearing this, the man's attitude changed immediately and he said, "Shibashi wait!" After saying that, he turned around and said, "Sanlang comes here, there is a shop that wants to rent a street-facing shop!"

A young man next to him ran over quickly and saluted Jin San: "The official wants to rent a shop facing the street? Come with me, don't have to wait here!"

Jin San followed the young man out of the crowd and arrived at a small table next to him. The young man pointed to the table and said, "Mr. Wai, both shops facing the street are here, you are the first one, you can choose any of them."

Jin San heard that no one was snatching him, so he calmed down and looked at the picture on the table carefully. The picture was a nearby floor plan, and the streets were clearly drawn, and each corner shop was marked and there were numbers.

Jin San looked for a while and said to the young man: "Where is the exit of the shopping mall next to him?"

The young man pointed to the picture on the table and said, "Look at the south side of the mall are several two-story halls connected together, selling valuable goods, the opposite is the south gate. One to the west, the opposite is the shopping mall selling various agricultural tools and seeds, etc. The other to the east is the opposite is the firewood coal, and the other such bulk goods trading places. The other to the north is the cattle and horse market in the shopping mall."

Jin San nodded and pointed to the picture and said, "I want the shop opposite the south gate. - Is it better to the west or the east?"

The young man smiled and said, "The shopping mall is in the west of the city, and most of the people who come here should come from the east. If the official is selected, the one in the east will be better."

Jin San nodded after hearing this: "It makes sense. Then choose this shop in the east! - How to decide?"

The young man said: "As long as the official pays the rent for one month as a deposit, it will be settled. The shop has two floors, one row and three rooms. The lower floor is 750 yuan, the upper floor is 600 yuan, and the total is 1,350 yuan. Thank you!"

As long as you have always had a good money for a month, how can Jin San care? He took out a silver ingot from his body and handed it to the young man: "This is five-two-legged silver, and it should be exchanged for two thousand coins for copper coins. You can find money with me."

The young man did not receive silver ingots and said, "People, we only accept copper coins, not gold and silver. There is a gold and silver shop outside, so we can remove silver and come to the copper coins. I'll wait here."

Jin San said impatiently: "Who has the leisure to do these things, and I have not brought my followers. Just collect the five taels of silver and write a receipt with me. When I collect the store, it will be used as rent."

The young man looked kind and said: "The official's rule is that he does not charge any gold and silver. There is really no way. The gold and silver shop is less than a hundred steps away from this, so I will go there once. If I hadn't been at work and could not leave, I would have gone with the official's shop."

At this moment, Ren Ze and Wang Pu each paid five hundred cents, handed over their names, and waited to collect the shop. Seeing Jin San there, they walked over and said, "Mr. Uncle, have you decided to rent a shop?"

Jin Sandao: "I rented this room outside the South Gate and went to the street, but I didn't bring any copper coins."

Speaking of this, seeing Wang Pu dressed in ordinary clothes and faced with frost, unlike a wealthy family, he said to him: "I have five taels of silver ingots here, but they don't collect gold and silver. If you go outside, you can unpack the gold and silver shops, I will give you a hundred citations of money!"

Ren Ze hurriedly said: "How can this be done! A few years ago, Wang Yuanwai was the little prince of Fanluo—"
