Chapter 67: Incognito Visit



The banquet, which was enjoyed by both the host and the guests, came to an end.

Zhao Jun could understand the county magistrate's desire to see his boss leave as soon as possible.

So everything is self-explanatory.

Since they have to set off early tomorrow morning, Wang Deng and his team still have to make some preparations in the afternoon.

But Zhao Jun felt that there was nothing to prepare.

So, in the afternoon, she sneaked out of the county magistrate's mansion with Qingliu.

Now that we have arrived in Hanzhong County, how can we not take a good look around the provincial capital?

"Sir, is it okay for us to come out like this?"

Qingliu looked at the bustling streets with some longing, but felt a little scared when she thought of the experience of Zhao Jun being kidnapped before.

"It's okay, someone is following."

Zhao Jun didn't care too much. She knew that someone would follow them, and their actions were not particularly secretive.

As she walked down the street, she felt that this place was three times more lively than Xianyang.

Although there don’t seem to be as many people as in Xianyang City, and the living standards are not as good as in Xianyang, it is lively.

There were also many people selling small commodities, and Zhao Jun was amazed at what he saw.

Qingliu, relieved, also spoke excitedly.

"Sir, although there aren't as many people here as in Xianyang, it looks quite lively."

She had never left Xianyang, but as the capital of the Qin Dynasty, she always thought that Xianyang was the best.

"Indeed, you see there are bracelets for sale over there."

Zhao Jun walked to a stall that was selling red, green and colorful bracelets, a type of product she had never seen in Xianyang.

"Look, ladies! These are authentic coral beads from Donghai County. Look how round and plump they are. You won't see them anywhere else."

The shopkeeper showed it with pride and said, "You've got to admit, the color looks really good under the sunlight."

Zhao Jun was a little moved.

"How much."

"The one you have is made entirely of coral and costs one gold."

One gold, this price is quite expensive, but Zhao Jun didn't take it to heart, because she brought a lot of money with her when she left the palace anyway.

"Okay, boss, I'll take this one. Qingliu, come over and see which one you like. I'll give you a bunch."

Zhao Jun waved and pulled Qingliu to his side and asked her to choose a string as well.

Soon, two sparkling necklaces were worn on the hands of the two people.

"Hey, shopkeeper, this bead is really from Donghai County. How did it appear here?"

After buying things, Zhao Jun didn't leave in a hurry, but started chatting with the boss.

These two are big customers, the shopkeeper introduced them with a smile.

"To be honest, our boss is doing this in Donghai County. You know how big our business is."

"This thing is not cheap. Is there anyone in Hanzhong County who wants to buy it?" Zhao Jun asked.

"Look at what you said. How can such a large county not have wealthy people? There are so many noble families. I won't sell this to ordinary people."

"Yes, yes, yes, I didn't expect that. By the way, your boss has such a big business, why doesn't he do business in Xianyang?"

The shopkeeper was a little surprised when he heard this.

"You two are from Xianyang, so you must be no ordinary people." The shopkeeper spoke even more enthusiastically.

"As for Xianyang, our boss really didn't dare to do business there before. After all, it's the king's place, so we don't want to cause trouble by mistake."

"Before?"

"Yes, a few months ago I heard that the king was encouraging everyone to do business in Xianyang, so our boss was thinking of going there to try it out. I guess it should be open soon."

So that's how it is. Zhao Jun nodded in understanding.

It seems that her previous investment promotion method is still useful.

"Okay, thank you, boss."

Zhao Jun said goodbye to him and walked towards another place.

"By the way, Qingliu is so close to Xianyang, let's look for a shop that sells paper."

The papermaking workshop has been operating for several months, and Hanzhong County, being so close, should have been among the first to receive the news.

"Yes, there are many small merchants from Qin who come to the workshop to buy paper. I'll look for them."

Qingliu became interested when she heard what Zhao Jun said. This workshop was under her management, and now that she had the chance, she would of course see how it was developing in Hanzhong County.

Soon they saw a paper shop.

"Hello, can you two see what I can do for you?"

The shopkeeper was sitting at the desk in the room. He greeted them and said nothing more.

There were still a few customers in the shop, and Zhao Jun didn't care whether the shopkeeper was enthusiastic or not.

"Shopkeeper, what are the prices for white paper and inferior paper?"

Qingliu asked before Zhao Jun could speak.

"The price is the same throughout Hanzhong County: inferior paper is three coins, and white paper is two gold coins."

The shopkeeper answered without even looking up.

Zhao Jun nodded. Wow, the price of white paper has doubled.

But that’s OK, as long as the price of inferior paper doesn’t go up, others should be able to make a profit.

The two of them walked around the store and asked customers who were planning to make a purchase, and the feedback they received was all very good.

Now Zhao Jun was completely relieved. She came here with the intention of causing trouble, and since she was here, she must have come here in disguise to make a private visit.

But unexpectedly, she was unable to find any loopholes. It seems that although the county magistrate is a bit cunning, the governance of the state and county is still pretty good.

Zhao Jun didn't find any loopholes and felt a little tired after walking around.

"Sir, there's a stall selling Xianyang oil-splashed noodles up ahead. Why don't we stop there to take a break?"

Qingliu pointed to the stall under the bridge not far away and suggested.

"Okay, I didn't have a full lunch."

The two of them walked towards that direction.
