When the whistle of the giant steam ship at the wharf was heard in the distance, the porters began to work, vegetable vendors from the suburban towns rushed into the city, all kinds of breakfast vendors opened in the heat, and the door panels of the shops in the vegetable street were opened... looking for

Xianxian County woke up from the dark night, and the residents started a new day.

The young owner of Chengyou Bookstore woke up very early today, maybe he didn't sleep all night.

However, he was still full of energy. He took a rag and wiped the interior of the shop clean, and then neatly placed several sets of girl pictures and novels collected from the Cedar yesterday in the most conspicuous position.

There were also several sets of gaudy forbidden books such as "Spring in the Jade House" and "Nine-tailed Turtle" that he placed in secret corners under the counter.

This thing needs real customers to deliver it.

Whether it is in the previous life or here, the rules are the same, Tao Qianmen Qing'er.

After the arrangement was complete, Tao Qian clapped his hands and smiled with satisfaction.

"Qi Huo, I will definitely get a lot of silver dollars into my account today."

After saying proudly, Tao Qian smelled the aroma coming from the corner of the street, heyed, and turned around to go out.

Not long after, he came back with a large bowl of wontons with a sprinkling of spicy peppers on top. He stirred them up with a spoon and started eating them.

After finishing his meal and returning the bowl to the store, Tao Qian turned back to the counter.

He took out a thick book called "History of Immortality", put it on the counter, opened it and read it.

Obviously, Tao Qian is really very creative.

He is not only a newcomer in the world of spiritual practice, he is also an out-and-out newcomer to this world.

In order to avoid making a fool of himself in the future, Tao Qian still planned to read the history of this world in his spare time, even though he already had two memories of his original identity.

"As a real bad student, I actually prefer to go hunting for treasures than reading."

"My weird extraordinary perception ability can be used as a [paranormal radar]. Although the range is limited, the chance of success is almost 100%."

"The most suitable place for me to perform is naturally the trading market in the spiritual world. In the knowledge imparted by Wu Ming and Lin Xiaohua, there are many such places, but it is not that easy to get admission tickets."

"But at this stage, I can still go to places like 'bookstores' and 'temple fairs' to try my luck."

"Why don't you go try it when you have free time today?"

After a few thoughts came to an end, Tao Qian also formally started reading the New World Histories.

Combining the two memories in my mind, I soon had some understanding of the history of this world.

What he is most concerned about is naturally the historical records related to weirdness and spiritual practice.

What surprised Tao Qian was that there were quite a few descriptions in this regard.

According to historical records, the history of this land can be roughly divided into several stages:

In ancient times, when human beings were born, they struggled to survive among many monsters, monsters, gods and beasts, and strange signs from the sky.

In ancient times, humans gradually rose up. Some humans gained power from those indescribable things. At the same time, they no longer respected them, but began to bite back and erode strange things. In the process, human beings also split within themselves.

Super wars began to appear one after another, each sweeping the earth with great momentum and composing heroic epics.

Until the Middle Ages, human beings continued to multiply and engage in civil war. What is strange is that instead of declining, human beings became stronger and stronger, and even gradually defeated the land of China that was occupied by strange things, and achieved a comprehensive victory.

After that, it’s modern times.

There is not much to say at this stage, but there is much to say.

"The modern ancient period is actually the entire history of the Everlasting Celestial Dynasty."

"This dynasty was established at the end of the Middle Ages. It was established by an emperor with great military exploits. He swept across the world, annexed all directions, and completely ended the rule of strange things."

"In the following two thousand years, although there were still various chaos, wars, uprisings, and natural disasters in this land... the ruling groups were also constantly changing. This aspect was similar to the changes in dynasties in previous lives. But what is incredible is that for more than two thousand years,

Every time a new ruler overthrows the predecessor, they all choose to continue the four words "Eternal Life Celestial Dynasty"."

"In other words, this dynasty has actually lasted for more than two thousand years, and it still continues to this day."

Tao Qian, who had received nine years of compulsory education in his previous life, could not hide the surprise on his face at this moment.

It's so normal. In his previous life, he knew about the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and he also knew that major events in the world must be divided over time.

But I have never heard of any feudal dynasty that could last for more than two thousand years.

Although the rulers on the throne changed one after another, Tao Qian still couldn't believe it.

Just when he was looking at "History of Immortality" with an expression like a country bumpkin, a guest suddenly came to the door.

A short old man wearing a long gown and a pair of glasses.

Tao Qian looked up and saw that he was an acquaintance. He was the owner of a shop called "Xunxian Leather Goods Shop" on the same street. He only knew his surname was Ma but did not know his name.

As soon as Boss Ma came in, his eyes were directly fixed on the new goods area.

He walked over, waved his hand to Tao Qian and said, "Sister Tao, please don't be polite. I heard that you have bought some new books. The old man is here to select some recreational reading materials."

Having said that, the old man really flipped through the illustrated albums a few times.

As he turned it over, his eyes flickered behind his lenses.

Not long after, the old man grabbed a whole set of illustrated magazines with both hands, put it under his arm, took out some money from his pocket with the other hand, and placed it on the counter in front of Tao Qian.

Feeling very cool, he turned around and walked out of the store.

The movements are smooth and fluid, with no feeling of lag.

It wasn't until the old man left that Tao Qian realized what he was doing. While collecting the money, he sighed: "What an old pervert, cool and unrestrained, a role model for our generation."

Not long after Tao Qian finished speaking, two more guests came together.

They are also acquaintances on the street, a boss Xu and a boss Zhou, respectively the bosses of Xu Ji Braised Pork Shop and Zhou Family Silk Cloth Shop.

The two people went through the same process and each took away a set of pictorial girl albums.

Boss Xu, who was still a bachelor and a bit coy, asked for a set of banned books from Tao Qian's counter, including illustrated editions, which cost a lot of money.

For the next morning, Tao Qian couldn't find a full time slot to read a book.

There are unexpectedly many customers who come to buy books.

Almost all the pictures and books he collected from the Cedar yesterday were sold out.

Not only had he already recovered his capital, but he also made a steady profit of ten silver dollars. Tao Qian's money bag suddenly became full again.

For this situation, Tao Qian could easily guess the reason. Someone must be behind the scenes to help promote it, otherwise it would be impossible to sell out so many books and pictures in this morning.

So he didn't sell all the inventory, but kept two complete sets, just waiting for the two people to come and ask for credit.

Sure enough, noon arrived.

Two figures wandered around before stepping into Chengyou Bookstore.

As soon as he entered the door, Li Sanyu, the owner of the strange stone store who looked like Lin Yongjian, had a bright smile on his face, pointed to the empty new goods area, and said proudly:

"I've seen it. Scholar Tao has been busy with high-rollers this morning. He must have made a lot of money. But my idea worked yesterday, brother?"

"Boss Li, please don't just grab the credit. I heard from Lao Ma that Scholar Tao's new products this time were mainly my idea. Didn't you see that there were some pictures of beautiful faces in the set of pictorials that Lao Ma bought?

, wearing a kind of clothing called a 'bikini', my God, my arms and thighs are all exposed, and they are all white."

"I can already imagine the popularity of these picture albums. In Xunxian County, a provincial capital like this, they will sell out as soon as they are available."

"If I hadn't expected Scholar Tao to save a set for me, I would have snatched it from Lao Ma."

Jia Qiang, who looked treacherous, started to argue.

As he spoke, he looked like he was about to drool.

When Tao Qian saw this, he didn't interrupt, but smiled and took out two sets of books and illustrated magazines from under the counter.

First, he stuffed it into their arms, then cupped their hands and said:

"It's all thanks to the advice of my two brothers that the shop finally made some money."

"Today we agreed on the Tai'anju mutton pot. Both brothers know my character, Scholar Tao, so don't refuse. Let's get started."

As he spoke, Tao Qian dragged the two of them out of the door.

The money bag was bulging, and Tao Qian was extremely confident.

He immediately closed the shop, took the two business counselors and headed to a restaurant not far away.

With the body and memory of his original body, Tao Qian's performance was extremely natural.

He was sure that even if his dearest relatives and friends who were most familiar with the original body were here, it would be difficult to tell that the body of the thin and handsome scholar had been replaced by a soul.

The three of them went to Tai'anju together, and a pot of mutton, which was equally expensive for a meal, was brought up.

For some purpose, Tao Qian even ordered some wine.

After drinking and drinking, under Tao Qian's deliberate guidance, the two of them soon began to point out the country and popularize the political structure.

Tao Qian is also familiar with this, but in his previous life, if he had to tell people this, he didn't need wine, just a keyboard.

The words may be a bit exaggerated, but they are enough to let Tao Qian know the general layout of the current Changsheng Dynasty in terms of economy, politics, military, etc.

After all, the original person is a pedantic scholar, and these are all his weaknesses.

Although Tao Qian could collect newspapers and the like to make amends, listening to the explanations from local indigenous businessmen was a better way.
