After arriving in Suiye Town, almost all the soldiers rushed to the bed without even taking off their clothes and fell asleep quickly. A small number of people slept until noon on the second day, and most of them slept until the second day. Zhang Hu and Liu Qi woke up at noon, ate some food and fell asleep again, and did not get up until the third morning.

Zhang Hu got a few steamed buns from the person in charge of food, and then made two cucumbers and bones with a smile, and took them back to eat with Liu Qi. While eating, he said with a smile: "Let's clean up after eating. I took out all the valuable things I robbed on the road to Talas City to exchange for money. Let's have fun."

"Let's go play now?" Liu Qi was stunned for a moment. He had only returned to Shuye Town for two days and had just woken up and went to have fun?

"We as military men must learn to enjoy timely. In Anxi, we must not fight one or two battles in one year? Maybe we will die one day. Even if we save up a large family business, it will be cheaper for others? It would be better to spend it as soon as possible." Zhang Hu said half-mockery and half-seriously.

"When a person dies, the money is not spent." Liu Qi suddenly thought of this sentence.

"This is a good thing." Zhang Hu smiled and said, "Look, don't you understand this principle too?"

"This is the reason, but Uncle Shi, aren't you married and have children?" Liu Qi said again.

"I leave half of the money I get in war to my wife and children, and I won't spend all of it. Do I leave all the money to my wife and children without spending a penny? What's the point of living?" Zhang Hu said.

‘The mind is very avant-garde. Even in modern times, there are many people who put children first, and ancient people would not think so much. However, he was a soldier and often had to fight wars. It was different from ordinary people. Perhaps the soldiers who often fought wars had this idea.’ Liu Qi thought, and said, “Uncle Shi said.”

"My nephew is going out to have fun with Uncle Shi." Liu Qi paused and said. Since Zhang Hu wanted to take him, the military man who might die in battle one day, he naturally agreed with the idea of ​​"I have wine and am drunk now."

Soon, they finished their breakfast and returned to the house. Zhang Hu took out a small bag from the package, opened it and looked at it, and muttered in a low voice: "It seems that it's almost done," and turned his head to Liu Qi and said, "You also snatched some valuable things on the way to Talas, and you didn't throw them halfway, right?"

"There are only these." Liu Qi took out a few jewelry and a few silver coins. After he came to Shuye Town, he counted the packages. There were only these valuable things, and I don't know if some of them fell off the street.

"Enough." Zhang Hu poured his valuable things on the bed, picked out half and put them back into the bag, took out another bag and put the other half in, then took three jewelry from Liu Qi and put them in the bag and gave the rest to him, and smiled and said, "These things are enough for us to spend several days. If we stay in Suoye Town for a short time, we will never spend it."

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the prosperous and lively Saiye Town!" Zhang Hu put both bags on his body and walked out.

"Then my nephew will follow Uncle Shi to see you." Liu Qi hurriedly followed and said, his heart itchy. First, this was a foreign scenery that he had never seen before; second, Zhang Hu had also seen a big city in the Central Plains. Even he said that Saiye Town was prosperous and lively, which made Liu Qi even more curious about what Saiye Town looked like.

While talking, they had already walked out of the gate of the military camp. Zhang Hu kept walking south. There was no fun near the military camp, either the yamen or the family courtyard of the soldiers, and there was nothing to see; but the more you walked south, the more lively the street became; as he walked, Zhang Hu led him to a corner of the street, as if a big wave was rushing towards him, and Liu Qi's ears were instantly filled with the sound of singing and singing.

In amazement, he looked up at the street and saw a lively scene. Both sides of the street were filled with teahouses, wine shops, foot shops, butchers and other shops. From time to time, people came in and out of the shops. Liu Qi followed Zhang Hu and continued to walk forward. Seeing that the wine shops were almost filled, the chatting and laughter were overflowing, and they could be heard on the street. Although other shops were not as lively as wine shops, there were many customers and were full of people.

After walking a few more steps, I arrived at a riverside, with a bridge on the river. The river is not wide and the bridge is not long, but it is even more lively than the streets and alleys just now. The two sides of the river are filled with various stalls, including stalls selling knives, cutters, groceries, tea, and fortune tellers. There are countless passers-by who stop in front of the stall from time to time and talk to the stall owner.

There is a bustling crowd in the middle of the bridge, some riding sedan chairs, some riding horses, some carrying loads, some driving donkeys to transport goods, and some pushing wheelbarrows, with crowds of people.

Another thing that Liu Qi noticed was the appearance of merchants and guests. Suiye Town is a major transportation route that communicates east and west. The Tang people in the east, the big cannibals in the west, the Persians, the Turks in the north, the local Tocharians, the Sai people, etc. all gathered here. They looked different and their language and clothing were very different.

At this time, these people were either speaking Chinese or Tocharis, wearing very different clothes, standing in front of houses with different differences, chatting happily and bargaining fiercely.

But no matter what the pedestrians on the street were doing, they almost had smiles on their faces, which complemented the bustling streets and alleys.

"It's really interesting." Even though he was mentally prepared, Liu Qi was still shocked. The flowers and brocades of ancient cities were similar to modern cities, but they were not very different, which made him sigh.

"How is it, it's quite prosperous and lively!" Zhang Hu smiled and said, "Chang'an, Luoyang is very neat, and Luoye Town is much more chaotic; it is far worse than the prosperous market, Luoye. But somehow, the city in Anxi is not much worse."

"I don't know if you have noticed it. Because this is not the Central Plains, and although there is a Longyou Road, those civil servants don't come to Anxi easily. Even if they come, they will go around the four towns in the east and the states and will not come to Shuye, so there is no way to talk about the rules of the court here."

"No matter how big or small the city in the Central Plains is, merchants can only trade in the city. They cannot open shops and sell goods at will. If they are caught by Wuhou, they will be unable to eat and leave. Foreign merchants will be driven out of the city and confiscated goods. But in Anxi, especially in the Shuye side, you can open shops at will in other places except for the military camps and the government offices, so that you can see such a scenery. No matter how prosperous Chang'an and Luoyang are, you will not be able to see it..."

"Oh, oh." No matter what Zhang Hu said, Liu Qi just agreed without answering. Zhang Hu did not lose his enthusiasm. He led him to talk while turning around for a while, then stopped and said to him: "Okay, this is the most prosperous and lively place in Suoye Town. You have seen it. Let's go, uncle will take you to a place to have fun. But before having fun, you have to exchange things for money."

As he said that, he had already walked into a shop next to him. Liu Qi didn't understand the words on the signboard of the shop, but after he walked in and listened to the conversation between Zhang Hu and the staff in the shop, he knew what kind of shop it was.

"June, your jewelry can be used as ten thousand jin and six hundred yuan." Chaofeng looked at the jewelry handed to him seriously and said.

"Too few! These things can be said to be twelve stakes in Luzhou!"

"June, you also said that you can be a twelve stake in Yuluzhou. Here are the shaved leaves. Your jewelry is local, so of course it is cheaper than in Yuluzhou."

"How can I understand the tricks in jewelry? I'm not a woman. Besides, who knows if you are lying to me? Anyway, ten tens of stagnants and six hundred dollars are not enough!"

Zhang Hu and Chaofeng had a few arguments, and Chaofeng had to raise the price to Eleventh Century. Zhang Hu seemed not very satisfied, but he muttered something like if he was anxious to have fun and wouldn't bother with you, and agreed to the price. Chaofeng hurriedly sorted the jewelry and took out Eleventh Century Century from under the counter and handed it to Zhang Hu.

But as soon as he left the house, Zhang Hu changed his face and said with a smile to Liu Qi: "In the future, when you go to the west to fight and return by Saiye, remember to come to this Jieku as a thing. This Jieku is not like other people's bad intentions, and gives more money. Also, remember to be a thing that should not be a living thing, and be a life-long act."

"My nephew understands." Liu Qi agreed, turned around and looked at Jieku seriously, as if he wanted to remember the sign and location of this store.

Zhang Hu hurriedly said, "Don't worry. We will pass here after a few days when we go out for a trip. I will remember it naturally after a few more times."

Liu Qi agreed again. Zhang Hu said a few more words and laughed: "I've taken you to have fun with you. Let's go with my uncle and follow you to come here. Let's have a drink first. I usually don't eat wine in these streets, which is too expensive! Uncle takes you to a wine shop. The same wine is half cheaper and much more affordable."

"Uncle Shi," but beyond his expectations, Liu Qi said: "My nephew wants to have a drink here." Although he had just walked around, Suoye City is not a small town, so how could he finish watching this little time? He also wanted to watch the street scene while drinking. As for the extra money, just a meal of wine, how much more can he spend?

"Well," Zhang Hu looked at Liu Qi's expression and guessed what he thought. He thought about it again, thinking that although he could save half the money by eating a bucket of wine in the wine shop he often went to, this was his first time in Suye Town, so it would be okay to spend a few more money according to his wishes. Anyway, it was not like this every time. He agreed with a smile: "Okay, I'll just listen to you. But you paid for the wine today."

"It's time for my nephew to pay for Uncle Shi." Liu Qi agreed immediately.

"Haha, you don't have to pay for the wine this time. We have eaten wine in Suiye Town for the first time. I have been to Suiye Town several times before and I have been half a landlord. Of course, I will pay for the wine this time. Don't worry, if you want to treat you, there will be a time in the future." Zhang Hu smiled again.

"Then I'm not polite to Uncle Shi this time." Liu Qi also agreed with a smile.

The two of them laughed a little, and Zhang Hu said again: "Although they are eating wine here, different wine shops are good and bad. I have eaten wine on this street several times and knew that there are two wine shops that are good; and there are some other nearby ones worth seeing, which is worth visiting."

"Since Uncle Shi said it was worth visiting, my nephew would listen to Uncle Shi. What is the one next to him worth seeing?" Liu Qi said.

Zhang Hu did not answer his question this time, just called him, turned around and walked eastward. Although Liu Qi was curious, he did not ask again, and just hurriedly followed.
