Chapter 178: The Shop

Zhao Erdonkey because in the battle of Liujiabao, command errors caused his sentry will suffer heavy losses, almost the whole organization was wiped out by the official army, fortunately it was Liu Jiabao's Zhang Baochang with more than 30 township soldiers, fearless for him to block the pursuit of the official army, he was able to lead the remnants to escape into Liujiabao, and later fortunately Xiao Tianjian led his troops to Liujiabao in time, defeated the official army in one fell swoop, and saved him and the remnants of his soldiers.

Afterwards, after Xiao Tianjian found out the reason for his defeat, he reprimanded him, although he was not removed again and rushed to feed the horses, but when he was rewarded to the army after the war, his share of the reward was still exempted by Xiao Tianjian, seeing that others had their own rewards, but he didn't even get a penny of silver, Zhao Erdonkey was a little unbalanced in his heart, he didn't feel that Xiao Tianjian was magnanimous to him, but felt that he was on the east bank of the Qin River, and also destroyed hundreds of officers and soldiers, and in the battle of Liujiabao, he also fought to the end, Xiao Tianjian didn't appreciate him at all, he was too harsh on him.

Especially after the battle was withdrawn, he was also laughed at by some people, which made Zhao Erdonkey feel unbearable and very faceless, so he was secretly depressed.

And this time, Xiao Tianjian reorganized the entire Xingtian Army, and integrated one of his sentinels and Luo Li's sentry together, but let Luo Li be the positive, he was the deputy, and he wanted to be Luo Li's deputy, Zhao Erdonkey was even more dissatisfied, in his opinion, from the first of these people who followed Xiao Tianjian to do it, until now there are only three people left, Tietou, Feng Gouzi and him, Tietou is the captain of the guards, needless to say, the status is needless to say, I dare not say that Tietou is the second person in the Xingtian Army, at least the status is detached, not half a head lower than anyone else, Everyone wants to give him face.

And although Feng Gouzi said that he left the war team and no longer worked in the army, he was in charge of the management of the Xingtian Army, responsible for the intelligence collection of the entire Xingtian Army, and his status was also very transcendent, and he could spend a lot of money, and he didn't have to do things in the army every day.

But he was an embarrassing deputy battalion general, he had to do things according to Luo Li's eyes, and he had to listen to Luo Li's dispatch, and what kind of thing was Luo Li? Luo Li was just born in a Zhuang Ding in Fanjiabao, was captured by Shi Ran, and later joined Xiao Tianjian's men to do things, but now he rode on his head, which made Zhao Er Donkey very unhappy.

Let's talk about Yan Chongxi and Li Xuanzhu, the two main camp generals, both of whom followed Xiao Tianjian later than him, and now they have also climbed above him and become the main camp general, but he is himself, and he is not embarrassed or embarrassed as a deputy camp general, which makes him really feel a little unable to raise his head.

But Zhao Erdonkey is also a bit of a city government, and he didn't show his dissatisfaction with these dissatisfactions, so he still pretended to be happy, but there was a knot in his heart, and he couldn't get rid of it.

At the end of July, the summer harvest in Yangcheng was basically over, and the earlier winter wheat had been harvested in May, and the remaining spring wheat was basically harvested, and a lot of grain was produced.

Xiao Tianjian also did not levy grain for the first year's harvest of the local people in accordance with the original promise, but only took back some of the grain that was paid for by the farm tools lent to them, and completely handed over the ownership of farm tools to the farmers.

Looking at the harvest back of the respective houses in the grain tank full of these yellow grain, many people on the spot cried, they said that they have planted a lifetime, but they have never seen themselves can leave so much food, even if they planted more food before, but most of them pay rent or handed over to the government, their own food can be left, not enough to make a living, even so, but also often suffer from all kinds of plunder, often busy at the end of the year, but even one or two full meals are difficult to eat.

But now this is really the food that I have left behind, and the family can still eat the food that can not be eaten, and there can still be a surplus, the facts are in front of them, but many people are still a little like a dream, and they can't believe that this is true.

Although the Xingtianjun listed various measures in the past, dividing the fields and lending them farm tools, which was very popular with them, and they were willing to follow the Xingtianjun, but after all, there were no things in hand, and there were always some things that were not very reassuring, and I didn't know if the grain planted all over the land would belong to them when it was harvested, but now after seeing the grain warehouse, they can't help but believe it.

So after the summer harvest, the local people in Yangcheng to the Xingtianjun that is even more to the extent of worship, as long as they see the Xingtianjun, there are people from afar and wide who kneel down to kowtow to them to thank them, and every household wants to give Xiao Tianjian as a living Bodhisattva to offer, such news is even more spreading, spread far away, so that the surrounding poor people when they learn this kind of news, they also dispelled their doubts, I hope that the Xingtianjun will quickly fight over, and also give them land and land, so that they can live a good life.

The common people are like this, they don't have any concept of loyalty to the imperial court, they just want to be able to eat and clothe, who let them eat enough, they will follow who they do, the court regards them as dung, and the officials and landlords and gentry only know how to exploit them, and they don't care about their life or death, no one cares about disasters, and no one saves them, but the Xingtianjun has only been here for more than half a year, and they have their own fields and food to eat.

And at this time, Xiao Tianjian also took the opportunity to start a new business, for no other reason, that is, because the people have food in their hands, but it does not mean that all their needs are solved, they don't need other things, the people also have to exchange the food for salt, cloth and other necessary daily necessities. Yangcheng County has also become a lonely city, taking care of itself, simply unable to meet the needs of the people, the people now have food, but there is no place to exchange for these necessities, they can't help but start to worry again, and it is just in the area controlled by the Xingtian Army, the merchants and the salt lords do not know the attitude of the Xingtian Army towards them, and the Xingtian Army does not allow the salt lords to touch its jurisdiction, so they dare not set foot in the Yangcheng territory, which has caused an extreme shortage of commodities other than food here, because the people can't even eat. So this demand is not very urgent, and such a contradiction is not highlighted, but now after the summer harvest, the people have food, and they want to improve their lives, but there is no place to exchange these things.

For this sudden problem, Xiao Tianjian also considered it in advance, so Xiao Tianjian saw this market demand, and asked Jin Fuzi to take the lead, in the Xingtianjun, found a group of people who had worked for businessmen before, and set up shops in the name of Xingtianjun in several townships, named as the Xingtianjun supply and marketing point, and then took out some daily necessities such as salt, cloth, farm tools and other items from the Xingtianjun's warehouse for sale, and at the same time contacted the Fan family and entered a batch of daily necessities for sale. The method of sales is also very simple, the price is clearly marked, the children are not deceived, and the common people who come here to buy goods are allowed to exchange in the form of barter.

And the price of goods here is very fair, anyway, most of them are the things that the Xingtianjun used to rob, which belongs to the business without capital, so they are sold at a relatively low market price, so that once the shops in several townships are opened, the news has just spread, and the customers are immediately surging, and the people are carrying the food that has just been harvested and rich at home, and come to the store to exchange for these necessities of life, even the hunters in the surrounding mountains also carry a lot of prey, and come here to exchange things, The personnel of the Xingtian Army in these shops were immediately busy, and in two or three days, the materials prepared in the stores were all exchanged, and a large amount of food was also received at the same time.

As a last resort, Xiao Tianjian had to send someone to contact the Fan family, buy a large number of goods with money, and then send them to various shops to supply to the people.

In this way, for the Fan family, it also opened a way of sales and became the secret supplier of Xingtianjun, and Xingtianjun also made their economic situation enter a relatively virtuous circle through this transaction.

Originally, Xiao Tianjian also thought of minting coins on his own and issuing the military banknotes of the Xingtian Army to obtain money and profits, but considering that their territory was too small to support such a thing, they had no choice but to give up and wait for the territory to expand to a certain extent in the future, and then establish their own financial system.

In order to continue to improve the supply of materials for the Xingtianjun, Xiao Tianjian also asked the Fan family to collect a large number of chicken seedlings, ducks, lambs, piglets and other things from the surrounding areas, and put them in the shops for sale, so that the people can exchange these things back for breeding, and when they grow up, first, they can let the people solve the problem of eating meat, and at the same time, they can also sell to the Xingtianjun to increase their income, and the Xingtianjun can also obtain a relatively stable source of meat supply.

In short, after the summer harvest, Xiao Tianjian did not feel a little relaxed, the reorganization of the army, the development of business, he was busy again, fortunately in terms of business, he had Fan Yutong by his side such a capable person who is familiar with the economy can help him, so Xiao Tianjian handed over the business affairs of the Xingtianjun to Master Jin to take care of in the open, and secretly simply left Fan Yutong in charge.

And Fan Yutong has followed her father Fan Yaoshan in the business since she was a child, and after growing up a little, Fan Yaoshan was deliberately cultivated by Fan Yaoshan when she was hopeless to seek a son, and wanted her to be the heir of the Fan family, so her attainments in business are quite deep, even if a person like Jin Fuzi used to be a bookkeeper, when talking about business in front of Fan Yutong, he can only bow down, and Fan Yutong not only knows how to do business, but also can write and calculate, and play with abacus, not to mention it. is simply a natural talent for business, Xiao Tianjian met Fan Yutong, how could he not use such a baby?
