A Petty Official Chapter 125

Although Ethan Yun's hammock failed to save him, and he did not promote it in Bianliang, this thing still became popular because it spread when An Sujun used it, and it spread to the Liao Kingdom, and later gradually spread to Bianliang.

Because of this - and perhaps also because of the hammock's rough style, many people actually think that it is a product of the Liao Dynasty, but that's a story for later.

A few days later, Ethan Yun and his party arrived at Ansujun in the western route of Hebei. It was autumn, and the grass outside the city was yellow and a bit desolate. It might be hard to imagine how much income such a market could bring to the Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty set up trading grounds for the neighboring countries. The annual commercial tax of each trading ground was at least 50,000 strings of cash. The Ansu Army was even more than 100,000 strings of cash, not to mention the total revenue. After all, as an official trading place, many transactions here were conducted by the court, which was the biggest source of revenue.

It is such huge profits that attract countless people to engage in smuggling trade.
