Sun Xiangfu is very busy now, like many men in entrepreneurship in later generations, he doesn't have much time to his wife Qin Se and Ming, and things like entertaining guests have to be left to his wife to do, so Yu Xiuer invited Dongzhu to go shopping in Shanyang City.

The carriage walked slowly on the wide road, the flat cement road made the bumps of the car very small, stealing the curtains, wearing the clothes prepared for her by Yu Xiu'er, Dongzhu couldn't help but look at both sides of the road, for fear of missing something.

"There are so many people in your Han city, why are they all digging soil, is this how you farm in the city?"

"They are not farming, but building houses, we still have a lot of places to build in Shanyang City, today I will take you to the built commercial street to go shopping, and then go to the beauty and health center to do a spa, to go to your ······"

Yu Xiu'er was embarrassed to say the three words 'sheep sao smell', but the spring peach and red plum beside her giggled.

At the moment when Sun Xiangfu had a meeting, they had already interrogated Xi Jun to buy it, and knew that the identity of this little girl was actually the sister of Yi Nan, the leader of Xue Yantuo's department, and after the word 'face blindness' was explained clearly by Xi Junmai, Yu Xiuer knew that she had misunderstood Sun Xiangfu, how to look at this somewhat stupid girl is not like Sun Xiangfu's dish.

The commercial street consists of more than 1,000 shops of different sizes, entering from the north entrance of the city, and the first larger shop is the blacksmith shop of Wei Chi's family.

The carriage stopped at the intersection, Yu Xiu'er and Dongzhu got off, and soon, a person came out of the blacksmith shop, it was Yu Chi Baolin.

"My sister-in-law is here, this is ······"

Yu Chi's family is worthy of Hu blood, to say that Yu Xiu'er, even Hongmei and Chuntao are all Han women, but he saw Dongzhu who was led behind by the three of them at a glance.

"Baolin, didn't the husband let you be in charge of the security of the city, why are you on duty in your own shop! This girl is the younger sister of Yi Nan, the leader of the Xue Yantuo tribe, her name is Dongzhu, don't be lazy. Yu Xiu'er glanced at Wei Chi Baolin, who was wearing a thick military uniform, deliberately accused, and solemnly introduced him.

"Hehe, the people in the city are simple, nothing serious, isn't it just to patrol the commercial street, just sit down in your own shop and eat a cup of milk tea, by the way, you are a guest, there is a warm room behind the shop, you can go and sit."

When Wei Chi said that it was time to eat tea, Hongmei and Chun Tao glanced at Dongzhu's round belly, and wanted to laugh again, Yu Xiu'er stopped them with her eyes, and said, "You don't need to eat tea, let's walk around the commercial street at will, you are familiar with this, just show us the way!" ”

Originally, Wei Chi Baolin was just a brigade commander in the Shuozhou Unity Battalion, responsible for leading 300 cavalry to inspect the security of the surrounding counties, but now, the management organization of the yamen in each county is basically sound, and some soldiers of the unity battalion who had contributed in the previous war were promoted by Sun Xiangfu to county lieutenants and other local low-level military attachés, so that they recruited their own people to be responsible for public security and manage the people, but there was no need for Yu Chi Baolin's troops.

However, now that Shanyang City has developed, and there are nearly 100,000 people working in the city, Sun Xiangfu appointed Wei Chi Baolin as the director of the Shanyang Public Security Bureau according to the actual situation, leading 500 soldiers to manage the security of the whole city, which is equivalent to the director of the Shanyang Public Security Bureau!

He does not have this official in Chang'an, after all, Chang'an is a city square system, and it is Wuhou who manages the security of the block, and Shanyang is a block system, considering that there will be more Hu people and foreigners than Han people in the future, Sun Xiangfu asked the police detachment to take the initiative to patrol the streets, and they will always be there in every block, prohibiting all bullying and unfair, immoral behavior, the manpower of the Public Security Bureau is also Hu and Han, bilingual system, after all, there are more Hu people will bully the Han people by force, and the Han people are smarter than the Hu people, will often play clever tricks to deceive Hu people when doing business.

"Hehe, little brother, I can't ask for it, I don't know what Miss Dongzhu is interested in!"

Yu Chi Baolin looked at Dongzhu, but found that her eyes were already looking at her shop, what a hoe! Iron pot! Kitchen knives! She picks up everything like a baby.

"Did you own this shop? Can I buy the goods here and take them away? ”

After reading dozens of ironware, Dongzhu remembered something, walked quickly in front of Yu Chi Baolin, and asked in a hurried tone.

"Well, that, of course, this is just to sell some civilian ironware, and the Metropolitan Protectorate does not restrict the identity of the buyer, but if the quantity is too large, it must be reported."

When Dongzhu heard this, his face was happy and said, "How much is a large number?" ”

"Why, there must be a thousand!"

Dongzhu smiled even more, "Okay, then I will ask for nine hundred and ninety-nine pieces, how many cattle and sheep do you want, or horses can also ······"

"It turns out that Miss Dongzhu is here to talk about business! Then I'll let the shopkeeper do the math for you······"

Yu Chi Baolin is okay with a knife and a gun, this is arithmetic! It should be something that Sun Xiangfu sent to him only understands.

"This girl, our shop usually does not accept barter, if you only have cattle, sheep and horses, you can go to the livestock market in the old city to sell them, exchange them for copper coins, and then come to our store to buy."

In fact, the thousands of pieces that Yu Chi Baolin said were not a thousand, and from the time he decided to open the blacksmith shop here, Sun Xiangfu knew that its sales would reach a terrifying number, because the grassland tribes needed these things too much.

However, he knew that those tribal herdsmen only had cattle and sheep in their hands, and if everyone drove the cattle and sheep to the commercial street to exchange things, then the order of the whole street would be chaotic.

There are many cabinet shops in the east and west cities of Chang'an, and they are also private, and they are a place for people to keep money, and they also charge a certain amount of storage fees, but in Shanyang, it is because after Sun Xiangfu got a government-run free cabinet shop, other cabinets could not be operated, so it was the only one.

Everyone just sees this as a welfare measure that Sun Xiangfu has made for the people of Shanyang, but they don't know how much benefit Sun Xiangfu will bring to himself, it is precisely because of this cabinet that Sun Xiangfu dares to play all-cash transactions in Shanyang, stimulate transactions, and increase taxes, after all, there are not so many copper coins in this period, and silk silk is one of the main trading currencies.

Moreover, since the opening of several business halls in the free counter shop, most of them have come to save money, especially those who have a lot of money. Because Seonyang is a block system, there are no restrictions on any transactions, and there is not even a curfew, so you can buy things here anytime and anywhere.

But how many people are willing to carry a pile of heavy copper coins around all day? It is much more convenient to take the bearer exchange transaction of the cabinet, and there is no need for Sun Xiangfu to promote, so everyone consciously began to use this function, so that the cash reserves in the cabinet of the Duhu Mansion are huge.

Hearing the shopkeeper say this, Dongzhu knows how to buy things in the commercial street, it turns out that only money is collected here, but she has no money now, and her group of cattle, sheep and horses is not much, but I am afraid that it will not be able to exchange many iron tools, you know, those merchants who peddle iron pots in their tribe usually have to be a yak or two fat sheep to change one to them, even if the amount of clay pots used more than the iron pot, a sheep can only be exchanged for two or three, but the clay pot is not used, it will be several a year, and the thick iron pot can be burned for several years, steppe aristocrats like her, generally use iron pots.

As for the boning knives and sickles that herdsmen usually use to cut meat, as long as they are made of iron, the price is not low, the key is that you are willing to change, and the merchant may not have the goods for you.

Looking at the dazzling array of iron equipment here, Dongzhu was very happy, and began to point to the iron tools in the shop and ask the price one by one, and then, she asked Yu Chi Baolin about the price of cattle and sheep, and then, she counted her fingers for a long time, and came to a conclusion that a sheep can be exchanged for several iron pots, because the price of an iron pot is about 300 Wen, Datang, even in a border land like Shanyang, the price of a pound of mutton is more than 30 Wen, Chang'an normal year, mutton can reach forty or fifty Wen a pound in autumn and winter, and there is no calculation in disaster years, Otherwise, people would not have used the usual extra pound of spices to cook mutton.

And a sheep fat sheep can properly produce more than 50 catties of meat, just this meat, this is almost the price of five or six iron pots, and what about the water and sheepskin? The merchants were earning the benefits of their tribe at a fraction of the price.

Knowing this, Dongzhu suddenly felt that his trip to Shanyang City was not in vain, and in the future, if the tribe needed iron tools, he should drive cattle and sheep to the livestock market in Shanyang City to exchange them for copper coins, and then buy them in Yu Chi Baolin's shop.

Some reluctantly walked out of the iron shop, Dongzhu followed Yu Chi Baolin and Yu Xiu'er and a few daughters on the street only walked a few steps, and was attracted by another shop, because there are all the altars and jars here, she knows, this is the salted fish and bean sauce, Sun Xiangfu gave her to eat on the way to Shanyang, add a spoonful into the mutton soup, the steamer soup is salty, not to mention the taste, but also add salt, she thought that these salted fish and bean sauce can only be eaten in small amounts by people with a noble status like Sun Xiangfu, but she didn't want to, There are so many things for sale in this shop.

"That~"

"Oh, you can call me Brother Wei Chi, or Brother Bao Lin."

Seeing that Dongzhu wanted to call himself, but couldn't name him, Yu Chi Baolin hurriedly introduced himself.

"Well, Yu Chi Baolin, how is this salty sauce sold?"

was directly erased by the word brother and called his full name, Yu Chi Baolin was a little disappointed, but he still explained with a smile, "This thing is not expensive, a five-pound jar only sells for one hundred and thirty Wen, and the price will drop if you buy more, and the price is written here!" ”

The ex-factory price of salted fish bean paste has always been 20 wen a catty, the maximum price limit is 30 wen, and the five-pound salted fish bean paste may be sold for 150 wen in other border areas, but it can be cheaper in Shanyang, because of the large demand here, Sun Xiangfu specially sent a water steamer that can sail against the current to transport it to the nearest wharf to go ashore, and then transfer it to Shanyang City by land, but it only charged the cost of freight and made a small profit from the price difference.

"One hundred and thirty Wen and five catties? A sheep can be exchanged for more than a dozen jars? ”

"Uh, that's it!" Yu Chi Baolin hesitated when he heard the number.

Chun Tao on the side answered with a smile, "Yes, Miss Dongzhu, if you ask such an arithmetic question, it is difficult for Yu Chi Gongzi to answer, so you should ask me!" ”

She is one of the first people to learn Sun's algebraic symbols, and she is also the first manager of Wangjiang Tower in Chang'an.

All right! When Chun Tao said this, Yu Chi Baolin really became a leader, and in this area, he brought it all afternoon, and there were no things sold in the commercial street that Dongzhu didn't want, spirits, cans of honey, flower-flavored sugar cakes that were said to be stored for several months, tea leaves for making milk tea, and many dried fruits that she had never seen before, but they were delicious, many clothes that were much more comfortable to wear than sheepskin linen, and all kinds of beautifully carved headdresses······
