There is only Dongshi in Qingcheng County, and most merchants in the city are concentrated here. There are many shops on both sides of Dongshi Street, the two largest ones are Shi Daxing's Xinglong Ji and Hao Donglai's Longchang Ji.

It is said that there are two stores, but in fact they have opened many shops, selling silk, satin, porcelain, goods from the south and the north. Most businessmen in this era are still very honest, and there are also those who are sneaky and sneaky. The irony is that those who have the courage to cheat and cheat are

Most of the businessmen are successful people, such as Shi Daxing and Hao Donglai.

The prosperity of the prosperous age is no longer as simple and unpretentious as the Zhenguan Year of the early Tang Dynasty. However, on the surface, prosperity is prosperity, which is incomparable to the Zhenguan Year of the early Tang Dynasty.

The land of Shuzhou borders Tubo to the west, the Western Regions to the north, and Nanzhao to the south. Although Qingcheng County is only a county town, the streets of Dongshi are also crowded with people. Hu merchants and Tubo merchants traveling from south to north lead camels and horses, wearing various

Wearing strange-style clothes, we got into a fight with the businessmen in Dongshi. Occasionally, we could see some grumpy businessmen directly taking action, beating and kicking the barbarian merchants, and calling them vulgar and barbaric words. The barbarian merchants were able to fight back.

, and some swallowed their anger. In the end, both parties returned to the topic and continued bargaining.

Dongshi Street is particularly lively today.

The shopkeepers of Xinglongji and Longchangji were beating gongs vigorously at the door, attracting businessmen coming and going. There was a row of long tables in front of the door, and the tables were filled with porcelain of various shapes, ranging from daily use to

From porcelain bowls and plates to decorative amphorae vases, Boshan incense burners, etc., most of the porcelain is celadon, which is refracted by the sun and produces a smooth and soft light like the texture of glass, which is full and luxurious.

There is a small plate next to the porcelain, with some fragments of porcelain on it. As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, and experts watch the door. When many passers-by were amazed by the beauty and fineness of this batch of porcelain, some experienced Hu merchants came forward to pick up the porcelain fragments.

, carefully looking at the fragmented inner tube, I didn’t want to put it down after looking at it for a long time.

There is no need for exaggerated publicity. The quality of porcelain is obvious to the eyes of insiders. So there was a commotion at the entrance of the two shops. Countless Hu merchants and Tibetan merchants shouted at the top of their lungs that they wanted to meet the shopkeeper and negotiate a big deal. The waiters were already prepared.

Wooden chips were prepared and distributed to the merchants in a fair and impartial manner, and they lined up to call their numbers.

Everything is developing in a good direction. In the inner courtyard of the shop, Shi Daxing and Hao Donglai were grinning from ear to ear. They looked at each other for another thousand years. In the face of huge interests, their previous hatred seemed to have faded a lot.

On the turbulent Dongshi Street, there were two men dressed as farmers, staring coldly at the row of porcelain in front of the two shops, looking at the Hu merchants vying to negotiate business, and the two men showed jealous eyes.

"This should be fired in the newly built porcelain kiln in Shiqiao Village, right?" a man asked.

Another man snorted and said: "I have been hearing about Shiqiao Village for more than a month. I thought it was just a kiln for making pottery. I didn't expect that it can even make porcelain, and it can be used with Qingqiao Village."

The two largest businessmen in the city and county are hooking up."

"Brother, I heard that Shiqiao Village is short of manpower. Many villagers in our neighboring village have gone to inquire. It seems that they don't accept menial workers, and the menial work packages are given to the villagers in their own village. What they lack are skilled craftsmen, and there is no chaos.

Accept it, it is said that you have to check the reputation and accept it based on your character. I'm afraid we won't be able to get a share of the pie... Shiqiao Village is getting rich right now. Many girls in our village's boudoirs have secretly asked matchmakers to go to Shiqiao.

Village says marriage, alas."

The older man looked increasingly jealous: "I heard that a pottery kiln was built by a boy named Gu Qing, and it was his idea to cooperate with two businessmen."

"Gu Qing? Could it be the one from back then..."

"That's right, the young man the Ding brothers asked us to teach us a lesson. Later he ran away so fast that we burned his house down. It was him."

The man clicked his tongue in amazement: "A young man can actually do such a big thing, it's amazing!"

The older man seemed to be dissatisfied with his outlook on life and frowned: "What's so great about it? He's just a young man. He got into trouble by accident. The Ding brothers are also useless. A big and round man was actually killed by a little boy."

The young man took care of it and actually sold it to him. I thought about this for several days and still couldn’t figure out how he sold the Ding brothers.”

Another man was still looking at the crowds of people in front of him with envy, and sighed: "Even if I only work as a coolie, I still have a penny a day to provide for a meal. If I take this job, I will be happy no matter how hard it is. I can save it."

With two months' money, I won't be hungry next year even if I don't farm. Brother, can you think of a way to ask someone to go to Shiqiao Village to talk about it? I work very hard."

The older man became more and more angry and snorted loudly and said: "Don't forget that we burned his house. All the villagers in Shiqiao Village have seen us. Do you think he will agree? Besides, why should we go?

Beg him? Can't you just grab what you like? No matter how rich Shiqiao Village is, there are only old people and widows in the village. We bring some young people there to cause trouble, are we afraid that Gu Qing won't obediently give us money?

"

"Isn't this... bad? If it gets too big, the government won't let it go. Gu Qing and those two businessmen have money. If we take care of it, we will suffer big losses."

The older man's eyes flashed: "Then let's try another method. I heard from people in other villages that Gu Qing has a secret recipe for firing porcelain at the entrance of the kiln. He had people build a fence around the entrance of the kiln to prevent outsiders from checking. Let's

If I took the young men from the village and went straight to the kiln entrance, rushed in to see what was going on, and then turned around and ran away, even if I went to the county court, I didn't steal or rob, and I only glanced twice, and the county magistrate couldn't sentence me.

It’s a serious crime. When I come out, I’ll build a kiln to burn porcelain as before, and find a businessman to partner with me. Ha! Wouldn’t it be wonderful to live a good life openly?”

The other man was stunned by his thoughts and stared at him for a long time without making a sound.

"The more I think about it, the more I think it's a good idea. Let's take a walk and go back to the village to find people. Find more young people. We're not afraid that the old, weak, sick and disabled people in Shiqiao Village dare to stop us."

…………

Gu Qing came to the porcelain kiln many times. After all, he had nothing to do. Apart from his sole porcelain business, he spent the rest of the time passing boring time with Song Gensheng. There was more time to kill boredom, so the behavior of passing boring time became boring.

Two adults can't squat under a tree every day and watch ants move. It's fun, but there's always a slight sense of shame.

So besides killing boring time, Gu Qing mostly went up the mountain to deliver meals.

The kiln workers and craftsmen invited by Hao Donglai were arranged on the flat land to the west of the porcelain kiln, where houses were being built. The porcelain kiln within the fence was still handed over to Uncle Han and some villagers from the village, all of whom were of reliable character.

The job of Uncle Han and the villagers is to add coal to the kiln entrance.

There is a restricted area within the fence. Gu Qing has told the kiln workers and craftsmen a long time ago that everyone knows that Gu Qing is not easy to mess with, and no one dares to disobey him. Uncle Han and the craftsmen have always been getting along without interfering with each other.

They didn't even eat together. The kiln workers and craftsmen formed separate groups.

Gu Qing delivered meals mainly to Uncle Han and the villagers. After the Yang family's mother and daughter prepared the meals, Gu Qing carried a load up the mountain. It was also regarded as Gu Qing's training for himself. After coming to this world, Gu Qing discovered more and more that violence actually

It's very important. The way to increase your strength is to exercise, increase your physical strength, and make yourself more violent.

Every time Gu Qing delivers food to the mountain, Uncle Han always looks flattered. He rubs his hands and comes forward to greet him. He hurriedly takes over Gu Qing's burden and keeps saying polite words such as "Thank you for your hard work, boss. I'm sorry."
