The meeting was held on a hillside opposite the checkpoint.

The hill tribes built a viewing platform on the hillside opposite the completed bazaar, with rows of benches placed like a large trapezoidal classroom.

At this time, the village chiefs and the leaders of the villages had already arrived.

Everyone didn't sit, but stood on the hillside and kept looking at the farmers' market across the official road, and some pointed and didn't know what they were talking about.

Shi Liang and Huang Youliang, who participated in the construction, are explaining the overall layout of the farmers' market.

Li Xuefeng and I sat on the big bluestone, smiling and watching the surprised expressions and fiery eyes of everyone as they looked at the market.

The first thing that catches your eye is the winding mountain road of Chaoyang Temple.

If you look at it from the opposite slope, starting from Chaoyang Temple, along the front of this hill with a height of about 300 meters and a width of 2,000 meters, a figure 6 four-meter-wide bluestone road wraps the entire mountain.

Why build four meters wide?

In addition to Li Xuefeng, Huang Youliang and Seventh Uncle, including Zhu Erte, are very incomprehensible. I just smiled and didn't explain much, just said that there will be a lot of people in the future, and the road will be wider and easier to walk.

This road was built according to my memory, not only did it make a 20-centimeter gravel cushion on the bottom plane of the head stone, but also made shoulders and drainage channels on both sides of the road.

Outside the drainage canal are shade trees that have been transplanted.

The most surprising thing for everyone is that every other distance, there are lanes and parking lots, for which Li Xuefeng and I explained the preliminary planning of the overall Chaoyang Temple to Uncle Qi in detail.

The first floor of the completed bazaar is from right to left, and on the far right is a large mud-walled thatched-roof public toilet, and I not only distinguished between men and women, but also made a huge all-petrochemical septic tank under the public toilet.

For this reason, Li Xuefeng and I gave a lot of explanations to Uncle Seven and Huang Youliang. Because this not only greatly increases their workload, but also greatly increases the construction cost.

The large stone wall and thatched-roof hut next to the public toilet are open sheds, which are the livestock trading area, which is divided into a large livestock trading area and a live game trading area.

Rows of cattle pens and game stalls are enough to house 1,000 large animals and no less than 2,000 small live game.

Each stall has a trough and a trough fed by terracotta pipes, while the game stalls are supplied with a centralized water supply.

A one-meter-wide bluestone paved road separates the livestock trading area from the farmers' market, which is divided into several areas.

The outermost area is a fresh trade area for vegetables, fruits, dried fruits, etc., with four rows of 500-meter-long stalls set up with 100 stalls in each row.

Each booth is about five square meters in size, with stone shelves for displaying goods.

The back circle is a grain and other miscellaneous goods trading area, and a circle of small houses with stone walls and thatched huts.

Each small house is 10 square meters in size. Small cellars were also dug in the small houses for temporary storage.

Next to the farmers' market is the dining and accommodation area, which not only has a large parking lot, but also several two-story stone-walled thatched shacks, which are restaurants and guesthouses designed by Huang Youliang and Uncle Qi.

Li Xuefeng proposed this area, he believes that the population of the mountain tribe is a bit large, and we can't feed so many people for the time being, and we can't just rely on hunting, so we just build a tertiary industry and settle some idle people.

This idea coincided with mine, and my original plan was to involve the mountain people in the management of the market, after all, among their hundreds of people, there were more than 100 old people, women, and children.

And after listening to Hu'er say that there are still many beast evolution bodies in the mountains and mountain people who have no village to rely on, when I set up the first settlement of Chaoyang Temple, I asked Huang Youliang to plan four gathering areas, enough to accommodate two or three thousand people, mainly because I considered that there would be dependent people in the future.

Above the bazaar, along the central bluestone path, there are 30 large warehouses with stone walls and thatched roofs on the left side, each warehouse is 20 meters wide and 30 meters deep, for which the mountain tribe spent a whole day opening the mountain and building the fort.

On both sides of the warehouse, two stone bastions more than ten meters high were built, as well as attached barracks, each of which could station about 200 soldiers and horses.

This is what Li Xuefeng and Huang Youliang strongly requested, according to them, even if the alien race attacks, there is no need to worry about the goods being robbed, let alone those thieves.

Of course, I understand what they mean, they see that Chaoyang Temple is built so well, and they are also afraid that Taoyuan Town will suddenly turn its face.

Originally, I had a strong objection to this nondescript design, but I was told that with the fortress, whether it was the mountain tribe or the mountain people, it would be more reassuring.

As for the guards, Li Xuefeng waved his hand and said, "I'll talk about it later." ”

......

When the sun climbed the hillside in the distance, the people had almost arrived, and in the distance, there were mountain people carrying backpacks, leading livestock or carrying prey, and they were rushing to Chaoyang Temple in an endless stream.

The leaders of the mountain people who came were exaggerated, and there were two or three hundred. I smacked my tongue when I saw it, how many people are there in this mountain?

Li Xuefeng stood in front of a viewing platform, loudly announcing the rules of the market, and standing beside him was a market escort composed of thirty heavily armed mountain clan men led by Huerte.

"All the stalls and shops are only rented and not sold. The booth has one copper plate a day, and the shop has five copper plates a day. 10% off monthly rent and 20% off annual rent. ”

Li Xuefeng, director of the bazaar management office, announced loudly.

Immediately, a village chief raised his hand: "We rent a shop in the farmers' market in Shilou Village for a year. ”

I saw Lao Qi nodding and smiling with a goatee on the side, and I knew that this old man had told them that the village chief Chaoyang Temple Bazaar had a bright future in the future.

Huang Youliang said unhurriedly: "We rent a shop and a stall in Shanxia Village for a year. ”

At this time, the rest of the village chiefs and mountain leaders panicked, and some hurriedly called for prices, for fear that the stalls and shops would be gone.

The old man in Doha, who is now the head of the neighborhood committee and the deputy director of the management office of the bazaar in the first settlement of Chaoyang Temple, is holding a wool pen and quickly recording on a piece of animal skin.

When I saw that some of the mountain leaders were still counting their fingers to calculate whether the rent could be earned, I couldn't help but smile, thinking that you would regret it later.

Sure enough, the second thing Li Xuefeng announced was that all goods entering the market must be inspected. If there is a dispute, the market management office will mediate, and if the mediation fails, leave the market to solve it, and it is not allowed to fight in the market.

As soon as this rule came out, the scene immediately went haywire, and everyone rushed forward.

These people are not stupid, since Chaoyang Temple so stipulated, then the market management office will assume the responsibility of quality inspection and mediation of disputes.

Think about it, there is an organization willing to take the responsibility of quality inspection, then there is a problem with the goods, you don't come to me, go to the market management office of Chaoyang Temple!

And a safe and stable trading place, that is what these mountain people who can't trade normally have been looking forward to, and since there is a market management office, there must be no strong buying and selling, which is simply gospel for those who are weaker in the village!

Soon, more than half of the stalls and shops were registered.

I looked at it and laughed, except for Huang Youliang, the rest of the village chiefs and mountain leaders only rented a stall or a shop, which was simply short-sighted.

I'm going to auction the stalls and shops next time. I made up my mind and couldn't help but grin.

Just as he was happy, a voice behind him said: "These wild people are really blind. ”

I casually said, "yes, I'm going to ...... next time."

"Huh?" I suddenly woke up, and when I looked back, Tao Zhiran was standing behind me with his hands behind his back, looking at the enthusiastic scene of everyone registering in front of me.

"Well, Boss Tao, rare guests, please sit down. ”

While getting up from the big bluestone, I looked left and right, but I couldn't find a chair, so I had to jump off the stone, take a stool from the checkpoint, jump on the big bluestone, and put it in front of Tao Zhiran.

Tao Zhiran sat down with a golden knife, but he took out a pipe from his arms, loaded it with tobacco leaves, and smoked it.

I squatted down next to me and said with a smile: "Tao Lao, do you think I can do it in this market?"

Tao Zhiran smiled and didn't answer, just looked at the village chief and the mountain leader who were scrambling to register in front of him.

I also pulled out a paper cigarette, put it in my mouth, lit it and smoked it, staring ahead with great interest.

When it came time to rent out the big livestock* trading stalls and game meat trading stalls, the village chiefs all consciously stood behind, and only some powerful mountain leaders remained.

The zero rent of the big animal* trading booth is ten copper plates a day, and the beast* trading booth is five copper plates a day. As usual, monthly and annual rents are 9% off and 8% off.

"Why do you only take out 60% of your shop and stall as a fixed lease?"

Tao Zhiran suddenly asked.

I smiled and said, "This is for some small cottages and individuals to do zero rent. ”

Tao Zhiran nodded, stared ahead again and didn't speak.

I looked at him and thought to myself, don't pretend, hurry up and ask, otherwise I'll go back to dinner later.

Sure enough, he didn't hold back, and asked again: "It's much more troublesome to do individual zero rent for these Diao people than to manage cottages." ”

I nodded and said, "yes, it's a little more troublesome." He shut his mouth again, just staring ahead and saying no more.

Tao Zhiran was a little angry, stood up and wanted to leave.

I smiled and said, "Tao Lao, but what else is the problem?"

He turned to me and said, "What the hell do you think?"

I was amazed, "What do you think?"

Tao Zhiran stared at me and said, "Don't pretend, why do you want to keep forty percent as a zero rent?"

I smiled and said, "Oh, that's it......"

Tao Zhiran said helplessly: "A silver dollar." ”

I smiled and said, "I don't want silver dollars, I just want to ask Tao Lao to cut the ribbon of our market." ”

"What?" Tao Zhiran was stunned, and only after a while did he say, "What kind of ribbon to cut?"

I smiled and said, "It's just a cut on a cloth flag." ”

Looking at Tao Zhiran's unclear appearance, I said again: "The rule of my hometown is to ask for a lottery, so auspicious." ”

Tao Zhiran smiled slightly and said, "The things in the human world are all so vain. ”

After thinking about it, he said: "I agreed, you say, why do you want to leave forty percent for individuals to do zero rent?"

I smiled, looked at the villagers and mountain people in front of me and said, "Since it is a market, it is necessary to diversify, to have public enterprises, private enterprises, and self-employed enterprises, so that we can not only invigorate the economy, promote competition, but also prevent monopolies." ”

"Monopoly?" Tao Zhiran groaned.

I smiled and said, "For example, in Taoyuan Town, your Taoranju is equivalent to a public enterprise, and the business of my Blood Demon Gang and various villages and villages is equivalent to a private enterprise, and these mountain people hunt by themselves, pick fresh fruits or something to sell, and they are called self-employed." ”

Tao Zhiran pondered for a long time and said: "You mean, I, Tao Ranju, control prices, fart, what I do is a fair deal, even if it is a transaction with sinners, I also give a conscience price." ”

I smiled, threw the butt away, and said to him, "But that's what you think, not the market." You see, if you raise the tax on serfs by half a percent this year, then the mountain people who were able to exchange a pheasant for half a bag of rice at the serfs can now only exchange one bag of rice for forty percent of rice. ”

Tao Zhiran was furious and said, "I obviously only took half of the 10 percent, where is there a bag of 10 percent? Don't bully me for reading less?"

I smiled and said, "But the serfs will tell the mountain people that they can only change so much, because they are all collected by the government and leave!

Tao Zhiran was silent for a while, and then said, "I have to go back and ponder your brother Xu's words, don't play tricks on me again." ”

After thinking about it, he said again: "I came to rent a warehouse, and you will leave two warehouses for me." ”

I smiled and said, "The warehouse rent is ten silver dollars a year, and one is paid three." ”

Tao Zhiran jumped up and said angrily: ", you rent to the mountain people for five silver dollars a year, and you pay one for one." ”

I smiled and said, "Tao Lao, you are a businessman, but not a public enterprise? ”

Tao Zhiran was stunned and said, "How do you know ......?"

I smiled and said, "Let's go, cut the ribbon." ”

......

......

Facing the dense crowd of villagers and mountain people in front of him, Tao Zhiran took a pair of scissors that Huang Youliang urgently sent over last night, and cut the cloth banner dyed red with the red branches and leaves of the mountain into two with a click.

The crowd was silent for a moment, and suddenly there was a loud cheer.
