I Reaped the Benifits Chapter 88

The merger of shops on East and West Streets was still going on. The vacant land on West Street had been cleared, and the cooks, maids, and eunuchs of the palace had all gone out, pretending to be small vendors and setting up stalls.

West Street is near the West Gate, which is the main passage for people from the surrounding areas of Jianyang City to enter the city. This is probably because Jianyang is backed by mountains in the north, has a river in the south, and the official road to Xunyang is in the east, so most of the farms and villages are in the west.

In the past few days, the West City Gate has gradually become bustling. Farmers from the suburbs can see the small market when they enter from the West City Gate. There are people selling vegetables, meat, small items, and so on. Those who are more active will go to ask those who set up stalls for information.

"Young man, how much are these combs?" A woman wearing a thorny hairpin looked around and saw that the vendor selling combs was a young and fair-skinned man, so she tried to go over and talk to him.

The comb seller looked up and saw that it was Fu Xi, Elliot's personal eunuch. The prince asked these servants to set up stalls and sell whatever they wanted. Fu Xi followed the prince every day and was familiar with the blacksmiths and carpenters in the weapons factory, so he had many connections. The carpenter asked him to sell the comb.
