But in March in Liaoning, the snow has just melted and the spring season has not yet come.
The prosperous Liaoning province is different from the one in another world.
It is just the Liaodong Corridor on the map.
If we have to draw a boundary with Shiwei, then Dakang is bounded by the Linghe River, while Shiwei on the opposite side is bounded by the Liaohe River.
There is a large area left in the middle, which is generally unmanaged. In many cases, it is one town after another. There are people from Dakang and Shiwei in the town. They sell their own things to sell these things. The town is used as a transit point.
Most of the commodities from Dakang and Shiwei are transmitted through this intermediate zone.
At the same time, this is a rare plain area, so many people of various ethnic groups who had fled from famine farmed and lived here.
Over time, this area with a radius of hundreds of miles has gained a different kind of "prosperity". More than a dozen towns of different sizes have been established one after another, plus dozens or hundreds of villages surrounding it. The population is at least over 200,000.
Last year, there were no major disasters on the Liaodong Peninsula, so after spring arrived, everyone was gearing up, hoping to do some good business and make a lot of money this year.
Fei E is a businessman who distributes tea in Yuanzhen Town, but he is not a high-end tea merchant from the mainland.
He mainly sells some broken tea powder from Jiangxi and Sichuan.
" This kind of tea can only be used by ordinary people in the fields to quench their thirst while doing farm work in the mainland. It can buy several kilograms for ten yuan, and no one with any status will drink it.
But when they came to this remote north, not only Shiwei, but also the merchants from the Baekje Peninsula, they also liked this kind of tea very much.
?????????????????????? After all, it¡¯s cheap, it can quench thirst, eliminate fatigue, and it¡¯s also elegant, much better than ordinary drinks.
Of course, there are many tea merchants like Fei E, but because the demand is so great, everyone can basically get good profits.
For example, Fei'e has been in the tea business for more than 20 years. He has already bought thousands of acres of land in his hometown of Binzhou, Shandong, built a large manor, married several wives, and gave birth to a lot of children. Now, There are even grandchildren.
He plans to work for another three to five years to earn more land for future generations, so that he can enjoy a happy life as a landlord in his hometown safely.
In the past few days, tea has been transported from Jinzhou Port. Fei E bought a total of 500,000 jins, and the first batch to arrive was 200,000 jins.
My long-term business partner has arrived in town and is preparing to drag it back to sell it after the settlement is completed!
After several months of icy roads in Shiwei, the wealthy people stayed at home and consumed their reserves all day long, and they were almost exhausted.
Now that the snow has melted, according to the habits of previous years, these Shiwei nobles and rich people must have sent their slave caravans as soon as possible to purchase various supplies.
At this time, things are best sold and the prices are very high.
The only thing that can be compared with this season is the time when supplies are stored in late autumn. At that time, the prices are equally high and the sales are equally good.
However, the strange thing is that the weather has been very good these past few days and the roads have become dry. Big buyers from nearby should have been coming to buy things one after another.
But after waiting and waiting, no buyer came in the entire town.
Fei E felt very strange. When he went out to chat with several nearby shops, he found that they also had no customers.
This is a little weird!
Boss Wang from the oil shop nearby, Boss Gu from the silk shop, and Boss Zhu from the carriage shop started talking with Fei E when they got together for a drink.
"What happened this year?" Boss Gu looked a little worried: "The silk I just bought cost me tens of thousands of taels of silver! If they don't come to buy it, how will I get my money back?"
Boss Wang immediately said with disdain: "Come on! Silk can be stored for several years without any problem. My oil is very troublesome. It has to be stored in the cellar in the summer. It will smell if you don't pay attention!"
"You two, don't talk nonsense there." Boss Zhu, who had taken a big gulp of wine, slapped the table, "If you don't do business, you won't have any losses! If there are no businessmen from all over the country leasing my horse and carriage business, then How much does it cost to feed the horses every day? I have to take care of them! I also have to raise a coachman. Aren¡¯t I having a harder time than you?¡±
? ?"You come and go, how much does the transportation cost? Are you still making money?" Boss Gu asked doubtfully.
"Who says it's not?"
Fei E nodded and said: "It's just thinking about this that I hesitated! Oh, why do you think this happened suddenly this year? It makes people feel completely unsure!"
"Don't worry, there hasn't been a war for how many years? Shiwei people are not stupid! When have they defeated the defense lines of Jinzhou City, Ningyuan City, and Shanhaiguan in the past hundred years? They wouldn't be so stupid as to touch an egg against a rock! "
"hope¡¡"
Boss Zhu didn¡¯t even finish what he said, when suddenly several people heard the noise outside.
They were drinking and eating at a familiar restaurant. The restaurant was on a traffic thoroughfare, so the sudden sound of panicked cars and horses outside could be felt by several people immediately.
"What's wrong!?"
The four people stood up together.
The boss at the counter was also startled. As soon as he turned around, he saw the waiter at the door running in with a face full of panic.
"It's terrible, it's terrible! Boss!!" The waiter shouted straightly: "There's already a fight in the north! The beggars are aggressively attacking the Datong Great Wall defense line, and tens of thousands of people have been killed and injured!"
"ah!?"
The four people were shocked when they heard this. Fei E threw down a piece of broken silver and ran out without saying a word.
The remaining three also reacted.
There is a fight in Datong in the north, so are we safe here?
Coupled with the recent anomalies in Shiwei, their hearts were suddenly shocked.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
??????? Could it be that Shiwei is also going to start a fight?
