After being promoted to a senior general, Li Xiao had a more pleasant time after wearing more and more Japanese clothes during the Warring States period.

In the three months when he agreed to duel with Shigang Yiyu, due to the pressure of having to live, Li Xiao spent almost all his time in the morning and night honing his martial arts skills, and did not dare to neglect it. Now there are still two months left for the strategy of xisueye. Li Xiao can easily spend this time.

Unfortunately, as an ambitious jumper, Li Xiao still has many plans to complete, so he still can't relax.

Now Li Xiao's daily work and rest time is as follows. He gets up at five o'clock every morning, and then does some training to enhance his physical strength, or does fighting training with Dao shengmeng and Shigang Yiyu with wooden knives and guns, so as to improve his martial arts skills.

Li Xiao's other warriors naturally had this opportunity to practice martial arts. Sometimes Li Xiao and Dao shengmeng would lead them to ride a horse outside Gaoyuan town to practice equestrian skills, as well as riding and shooting.

After two hours of exercise, Li Xiao will return to his house. At this time, Xiaofan Youzhen, who is the cook of Li Xiao's family, will bring out a pot of steaming white rice porridge that has been cooked to welcome Li Xiao back for dinner.

At this time, Li Xiao usually invites Dao shengmeng and Shigang Yiyu to his home for dinner. In addition to these four people, Xiaofan Youmei and fortunately Ruo Wan will also join. Everyone drinks hot porridge, and then has a plate of dried radish. After eating this breakfast, the warm atmosphere is quite a family feeling.

After breakfast, the samurai continued their training, and Li Xiao had to ride to Gaoyuan city. At present, as the third ranking minister under Takeda Shengkai, Li Xiao is not idle. He is required to assist Takeda Shengkai in many military affairs.

If he has nothing to do, Li Xiao takes the time to teach Takeda Shengkai and Baoke brothers their shooting skills. Anyway, he is still known as the city master's shooting teacher. At the same time, Baoke brothers are still their own disciples.

After such a hard morning, Li Xiao officially went home from work for lunch and began his spare time life. In the next free time, Li Xiao began to seriously study and plan his plan to make money.

This is also a matter of no choice. There are so many rice worms at home and the cost of repairing the house. Li Xiaoyuan had spent almost all his savings. What's more, in the future, Li Xiao will have to raise soldiers, warriors and horses, expand his power, grab food, money, territory and women, which all need a lot of money to maintain his military spending.

If Li Xiao still counts on the little dead salary in Takeda Shengkai's hand, he doesn't have to count on the goal of the people of the Warring States period

Fortunately, Li Xiao listened to a half tone marketing course when he was taking an elective course in college. At least he knew that he must understand the local market before deciding to invest in that industry.

So Li Xiao started shopping in Gaoyuan town with the little flag sisters and xingruo pill these days to understand the local customs and people.

Gaoyuan Town, in terms of scale, commercial circulation and population, is second only to Suwa and Xiaozhu in central Shinano. There is no way. These two towns are located on the trunk road of Zhongshan Road and connect Jiazhou street and Beiguo street. There are passenger and business flows every day, so the commercial prosperity will not be bad.

Gao Yuanting, however, is also a relatively large macho, and has a certain history. Its main business flow is from three rivers. Every few days, there will be caravans coming from the three rivers and the sea products, such as kelp (kelp), seaweed, oyster, sardine, firewood, salt and even the surface, and so on.

Then the caravan buys some mountain specialties such as wood, charcoal, buckwheat, radish, mountain peach and chestnut from the local block, and then transports them back to the coastal areas for commercial circulation in this way. According to the round-trip of the caravan, the Takeda family also collects tolls on the road as part of the income of Gaoyuan city.

After walking out of the gate, Li Xiao and Xiaofan sisters strolled out along the dirt road in the town.

Li Xiao and his entourage came in turn, including the minister's house, the warrior's house and the foot light house. These are the accommodation of the foot light warriors in Gaoyuan city. They are arranged from inside to outside according to their identity. The higher their identity, the closer they live to the city.

After walking out of the samurai foot light residential area, there is the machi residential area and temple. Some ceremonies will be held here from time to time. At that time, people who believe in Buddhism will gather here in nearby villages and towns, which is very lively like Chinese temple fairs.

The outermost layer of Gaoyuan town is the residential area of businessmen. In the residential area of businessmen, there is a monopoly industry called block. Similar to salt, oil, rice, fish, wood, cyan, and even jinzuo and Ginza, these trades that are closely related to people's daily needs are monopolized by the seat and sold exclusively.

Such organizations generally have a close relationship with local daimyo. If they do not have a good relationship with daimyo, they can even crack down on daimyo's rule in this area by raising the prices of daily necessities such as rice and salt.

Therefore, it is basically impossible for Li Xiao to get involved in this kind of business. Even Takeda Shengkai can't do much to take these local trust organizations in Japan.

Now Li Xiao is the most prosperous place in the business and vocational District of Gaoyuan Town, which is equivalent to the CBD Central Business District of Gaoyuan town. Noise can be heard everywhere along the street, as well as the light and heavy tinkling sound of beating iron in the forging room. When passing the gambling house, you can also hear the Shua sound of tossing dice and the scream of gamblers.

The houses on the street here are double-layer structures, with shops below and accommodation above. The little flag sisters could not help but rush into the Wu Fu House on one side. With their eyes shining, they provoked Wu Fu.

Li Xiao smiled bitterly. He didn't have time to buy clothes with women now. He came to look for business opportunities suitable for him. So Li Xiao and Xing Ruo Wan went to the street stall and bought two strings of glutinous rice balls forked with bamboo sticks. While eating the delicious glutinous rice balls, they continued to stroll along the street.

Along the way, there were passers-by, including waist crotch samurai swords, ronin walking barefoot, walking with a big box on his back, and the town people carrying a basket of buckwheat and tofu in a wooden basin. The flow of people was quite good, and today is not a day like a temple fair or market.

It is concluded from the above that Gaoyuan town is not lack of people with certain purchasing power and is completely suitable for commercial activities.

Li Xiao remembered what he had heard in the marketing class that the business closely related to making money was nothing more than food, clothing, housing and transportation.

Eating undoubtedly ranked first. Li Xiao inspected the eating level of the Japanese in Gaoyuan town at that time and found that the Japanese snack culture at that time was far less exquisite than that developed later. At this time, white sugar is still a luxury for the Japanese in this era. Only some businessmen in jiecho and rich celebrities in Japan have seen some Nanman candy brought by the Portuguese and Dutch.

Because sugar was not popular, fried chestnuts with sugar, bean buns and other famous snacks in Japan were not developed at this time. So at present, the most popular snacks in Japan are fried rice cakes and glutinous rice dumplings, or only these two snacks.

Well, let me, Li Xiao, become the new God of food leading the Japanese food industry.

With this determination, Li Xiao confidently called the little flag sisters who were still addicted to Wu Fu's house back to his home and was ready to sell them their plans for making money.
