It is located at the source of Qinghe River, which passes through eight counties and spans two counties.
Jingmen is naturally extremely prosperous.
This prosperity can be clearly seen just from the port.
When we arrived at Jingmen, it was only early in the morning, and the sky was not even completely bright yet. The port was brightly lit and it was already a hustle and bustle.
Chu Mu was still sleeping, but he was awakened by the noise.
Standing on the bow of the ship, apart from the endless lake in the darkness, there is the brightly lit port not far away.
Business travelers, porters, soldiers who maintain order...
Shouts, collisions, waves...
The hustle and bustle is right in front of you.
Looking away, behind the port are the stretches of rooftops, just like the dim lake, endless as far as the eye can see.
"Go and prepare. Bring out the road guide and the household registration book."
"Remember, don't tell outsiders that we are from Nanshan Town. Everything will be as I prepared it."
Chu Mu spoke slowly. Naturally, his preparations included more than just the small boat in front of him. He also prepared his belongings in advance, including household registration books, road guides, and even business certificates. He made use of his former inspection powers to prepare Profitable.
Although his surname is still Chu and Mu, according to what he prepared, he is not from Qinghe County, but from Changning County next door to Qinghe County. He is a family of medicine. When he comes to Jingmen County, he is Traveling through, just settling down for now.
Of course, this is also true.
Chu Mu obviously didn't plan to stay in Jingmen County for too long.
Based on the current progress of qi and blood cultivation, it is estimated that it will only take a year and a half before qi and blood cultivation can be completed.
If God appears, he will inevitably leave Jingmen County to pursue the existence of the world of immortality.
Jingmen is, after all, just a transitional place.
As soon as the ship docked, an inspector came on board to inspect it. He had been in the inspection system for several months, so Chu Mu naturally knew some of the tricky rules.
After stuffing a little money, he dismissed the inspection on board the ship, and also inquired about the situation of Jingmen.
After hiring a few porters to move all the books and medicinal materials from the ship, they headed towards Jingmen County.
In a place where business and travel gather, inns can be found everywhere, and are naturally indispensable.
I randomly found an inn to stay in, and all that was left was to settle down.
The two of them didn't have much money anymore. In one month, they sold everything they could. Counting their monthly salary and two pieces of black gold for that month, their total possessions were only more than 300 silver.
But this is not much, and it is only relatively speaking.
If it was as lavish as Chu Mu's, it would obviously not be much.
But if you use the consumption method of ordinary people, this is not much, but it can be regarded as a huge sum of money.
Chu Mu's plan was very simple. He rented a shop and opened a pharmacy in Jingmen.
Practice martial arts, study, practice medicine, and make some money on the way to avoid sitting in vain.
After settling in at the inn, the morning sun had risen. Chu Mu walked out of the inn alone and wandered around the unfamiliar Jingmen County.
In comparison, the Qinghe County in the original owner's memory was not on the same level as the Jingmen County in front of him.
People are coming and going on the street, vendors, carriages, merchants, porters...
The street, which is about three to four feet wide, is still a bit crowded.
Chu Mu mingled among the crowd, walking slowly and observing slowly.
Perhaps Nanshan Town left such a deep impression on him, and his observations were also extremely detailed.
As early as half a month ago, he had listed a number of places suitable for him to live temporarily. The reason why he finally chose Jingmen County was very simple.
One is that there are no mines being exploited within the territory, and the other is that Jingmen is located at the end of the Qinghe River, in the East Lake area, with prosperous commerce and a large foreign population.
But what he understood on paper was a bit false after all. Without confirming it with his own eyes, Chu Mu always felt terrified.
He didn't want to fall into the tiger's pit just after leaving the wolf's den. If Jingmen County failed to meet his expectations, he would rather run around again than stay here.
Chu Mu had been wandering around Jingmen County for the whole day. He even took a carriage and visited several surrounding villages and towns, and got a rough understanding of the real situation in Jingmen County.
It is not much different from the description in the book. Jingmen has a strong business atmosphere. In Jingmen County, you can hear various different accents, which undoubtedly confirms the fact that there is a large foreign population.
The county magistrate and county captain of Jingmen County are not surnamed Li, but Zhao. This is undoubtedly very important. It at least proves that Jingmen County is not within the sphere of influence of the Nanshan Li family.
Even if there is something like the Jingmen Zhao family, he is not a member of the Jingmen system and has nothing to do with him.
With the decision made in his heart, Chu Mu did not delay, and quickly found a shop facing the street and rented it for thirty silver.
The shop is not on the busiest main street in Jingmen County, but on another street parallel to the main street. The street name is Changling, and the number of people is obviously much less than that on the main street.
But this shop is connected to the backyard for rent, and the rent is much cheaper than on the main street.
The purpose itself is not to make a lot of money, so there is no need for Chu Mu to worry about it.
After settling on the decision, I directly found a few people to tidy up the shop, and moved it from the inn early the next morning.
"Baicao Pavilion..."
In the early morning, Chu Mu hung up the customized plaque with his own hands. Xu Yuan looked up under the eaves of the door with curiosity on his face: "Brother Mu, why is it called Baicao Pavilion?"
"Baicao Zhiyao..."
Chu Mu murmured softly, without giving a clear answer. He got down from the ladder and said with a smile: "From now on, you will be the shopkeeper of Baicao Pavilion."
"I?"
Xu Yuan was a little confused: "I am the shopkeeper, Brother Mu, what are you doing?"
"I just see a doctor and read a book. You have to take care of the pharmacy."
Seeing Chu Mu acting like a shopkeeper again, Xu Yuan was used to it, and besides, the shopkeeper...
Xu Yuan was full of novelty, and he sat in front of the counter in a presentable manner. The posture he held up made Chu Mu couldn't help laughing.
"Brother Mu, do you think we should also do business as martial arts practitioners?"
"The efficacy of Dragon Snake Decoction is so good. Brother Mu, if you research one or two more prescriptions and come up with it, then our Baicao Pavilion's business will not be able to take off..."
"We only do business for ordinary people. Dragon Snake Soup is too conspicuous. We are new here, so we should keep a low profile."
Chu Mu shook his head and rejected Xu Yuan's proposal. In this Jingmen, he just wanted to practice martial arts and study quietly, be more leisurely and comfortable.
But once you get involved with Jingmen's martial arts practitioners, you will inevitably come into contact with the deeper existence of Jingmen. Once you come into contact, it will be easy to get involved.
The gain outweighs the loss...
