Chapter 428
Shangjie Square is a commercial street in Xianyang City, located in the noble area.
Although the Qin Guo values agriculture and suppresses commerce, it is actually not very exclusive to normal commercial activities. These powerful and nobles whose countries were destroyed moved to Xianyang with a lot of family wealth. Seeing Ying Zheng did not want to see them rebel, nor did he want to see them idle all the time. So, how to kill their time and consume their family wealth?
The only way is to promote consumption.
This commercial street actually belongs to the Shaofu, and the direct beneficiary is Seeing Ying Zheng. The things sold in it are much more expensive than things outside, which can be called luxury goods.
No one blamed this kind of profiteering behavior.
Because this street only exists in the place where these foreign nobles and powerful people live.
There were also some people living in it who found "093" that the things sold on this street were much more expensive than other places, but more powerful and noble people did not care.
First, this commercial street is very close to them, and it is very convenient to buy things. Second, they have money and don't mind being a bit expensive. On the contrary, the more expensive the things are, the more they can distinguish themselves from those common people.
To some extent, the existence of this street can be considered to satisfy the vanity of many nobles.
Su Xuan had nothing to do, so he first came to this shopping street to stroll around. In fact, he had nothing to buy. After all, he was not a person who liked to enjoy himself. He spent more time on cultivation. For him, the most consumables in life were probably medicinal materials.
Although there are pharmacies on this street, the medicinal materials in them cannot satisfy Su Xuan's cultivation needs.
On the street, from time to time, you can see some people in gorgeous clothes walking by.
Their behavior is extremely arrogant, which is not much different from their arrogance in their own country at the beginning. But if you observe carefully, you will find that there is still a big difference.
As powerful nobles, they were followed by many people when they traveled in the past, but now, they have to do everything themselves, and there are no servants to serve them.
The only thing that has not changed is that they are still very rich.
But their money can only be used for consumption. Wanting to raise private armies, dead soldiers, and adopt retainers—this kind of thing is basically isolated from them under the surveillance of the Qin Guo.
Su Xuan walked all the way, but he was just appreciating it, and he had no intention of buying anything.
Except for those arrogant nobles, occasionally, you will see some young women in gorgeous clothes walking by. Women, especially those from nobles, are actually one of the main groups of shopping consumption.
