Seeing the popularity of silk, more and more women also joined the ranks of silkworm farming, hoping to make the family appreciate the wealth and silk.

In this way, the production of silk was barely maintained.

In the city of Xianyang, the officials in charge of managing the silk also reported the silk situation to Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo is not surprised by these changes caused by silk. The material itself is very outstanding. Compared with cotton and hemp, silk is more applicable and can be worn in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

"However, Your Majesty, recently there have been some unscrupulous merchants in Xianyang Chengdong Market. They took advantage of the large inflow of silk in the early stage and bought a lot of them, but now they are raising the price."

"The camel caravans from the west have suffered a lot from them, and some of them were even tricked by these merchants to exchange the same amount of gold."

"Some merchants in the east of the city saw it and began to join forces to follow suit in other things, which made many people miserable.

After Zhao Tuo heard the official's words, he frowned.

In the past, Shang Yang reformed, emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, in order to suppress this behavior. Although these merchants themselves played a role in promoting the circulation of commodities, they did not actually play a role in reality.

On the contrary, once some of these merchants have bad ideas, such as price gouging as they are now, it will inevitably cause damage to the entire trade-process.

Buyers have to pay more money because of the high price. Even if they want to change to another home, other homes may follow suit and raise the price together, resulting in a situation where they have to buy at a high price.

The sellers cannot sell things because the merchants raise the price in the middle, and the merchants raise the price and will not distribute the money to the sellers.

"Xianyang East Market?"

"Let's go and have a look with me.""

Zhao Tuo's icy voice sounded, and he relaxed the restrictions on merchants not to allow some profiteers to profit from it, but to allow Daqin's goods to flow better.

After hearing Zhao Tuo's words, the officials in charge of the cloth nodded quickly, and then Zhao Tuo took Wei Zhong out of Xianyang Palace, and the officials in charge of the cloth followed Zhao Tuo.

Zhao Tuo just asked Wei Zhong to follow him this time, and did not bring more people. Instead, he looked at how the small number of merchants who disrupted the trade in Xianyang market were driving up prices.

After leaving the Xianyang Palace, the three Zhao Tuo changed their clothes.

At first glance from a distance, it looks like a rich young master with a housekeeper and a guard.

"You two remember to call me Young Master, don't miss it. 35

Wei Zhong and the officials in charge of the fabrics nodded quickly after hearing the words, and at the same time secretly remembered in their hearts, it would be a big sin if they called it wrong later and ruined His Majesty's private visit.

Then Zhao Tuo got on the carriage, Wei Zhong became the man who carried the horse, and the officials who managed the cloth sat next to Wei Zhong.

People come and go in Xianyang City, and the street market is bustling and bustling, but no one knows that the emperor of Daqin is sitting in this carriage.

After passing through the long street outside the Xianyang Palace, the carriage turned into a side street.

"shelf!

Wei Zhong was vigilant about his surroundings as he mounted his horse. Although His Majesty was visiting privately this time, he still did not dare to relax in the slightest.

After a while, the chariots and horses came to the east of Xianyang City. This is one of the two markets in the east and west of Xianyang City. On weekdays, there are many pedestrians, and today is no exception.

Some of the pedestrians were originally from the city of Xianyang in Daqin, and they laughed with pride in their eyes, while others came from other places in Daqin, looking at this most prosperous city in Daqin with a curious expression.

There were quite a few caravans along the way. Just when the carriage passed the streets, Wei Zhong saw at least two caravans from the Western Regions. Most of these people were dressed in fancy clothes, with stubble on their faces and delicate daggers around their waists.

Daqin Xianyang City has sergeants patrolling all the time, so there is no restriction on weapons. As for the trouble in the city, there are some people who hurt people, but they are very few. After all, once the Daqin sergeant who is patrolling is caught, it will be a severe punishment.

"Your Majesty, we have arrived at the market east of Xianyang."

After arriving at the market in the east of Xianyang City, Wei Zhong opened the curtain of the carriage and respectfully spoke to Zhao Tuo, who closed his eyes and rested in the carriage.

After hearing Wei Zhong's words, Zhao Tuo opened his eyes and started talking.

"Put the carriage in the alley, and let's go shopping in the shops of the market.

Hearing this, Wei Zhong nodded and drove the carriage to the entrance of an alley guarded by sergeants. Wei Zhong and the officials who managed the cloth first got off the carriage, and then opened the curtain for Zhao Tuo.

Wei Zhong left with Zhao Tuo after giving a few words to the sergeant.

The three of Zhao Tuo walked in the market, but few people dared to get too close. After all, when they saw Zhao Tuo and Wei Zhong, they knew that these three people would not be ordinary people.

As for thieves, there are thieves in the market, but there is no one who dares to steal on the street.

"Your Majesty, the one on the right in front is the silk shop in Xianyang City."

The official who managed the fabrics glanced at the shops on both sides of the market and said ten.
