Zhang Yue led Luo Zongshan to the bustling street, he didn't take two of his subordinates, because the next thing they were going to talk about was related to the new strategy of the Ming Dynasty to develop Siberia, and it was better not to know if it was not at a certain level.

In fact, there are not many shops on this street outside the railway station, because the so-called city enclosed under the fortress is not large, the southern half is the railway station, and the north side near the fortress has horse farms, weapons warehouses, grain and grass and baggage warehouses, and the rest can be used to build shops is only a small piece of the street, a total of five or six shops.

Don't look at the few shops here, but there are a lot of customers coming and going, because a radius of hundreds of miles, or thousands of miles of longitudinal boundaries, you can buy things here, and you can sell things here, there were no shops on the Siberian plateau before, and the tribes were basically bartering, and there were not many things that could be exchanged, which was like here where you could buy anything, and you could also exchange livestock and prey for money.

Of course, the longitudinal thousands of miles here are thousands of miles perpendicular to the railway, if you walk horizontally along the railway, there will be such a fortress for every hundred miles, and there are also such small cities, and the nomadic herdsmen here want to go to the city under the fortress Daming There is no mandatory requirement, but the guard or the thousand households under the fifth capital division can only buy and sell things here, on the one hand, because of the convenience of buying and selling, and more importantly, for the convenience of management.

Luo Zongshan didn't know these yet, he was walking behind Zhang Yue to a shop in a daze.

When he came to this shop and looked up, he was happy, because he was familiar with this shop, the Ming Royal Xinglong business name was also in their small county town, and even the brand was the same, and he had also gone to buy things inside.

As soon as Zhang Yue led him in, an old man who looked like a shopkeeper greeted him and said enthusiastically: "Oh, Lord Zhang, rare guest, who is this adult?" “

Zhang Yue arched his hand and introduced: "Shopkeeper Li, this is the thousand households of our guard, Lord Luo Zongshan Luo, Lord Ma specially asked me to bring him over to familiarize himself with the next door." “

When Shopkeeper Li heard this, he became more enthusiastic, and he nodded again and again: "Okay, please come with me, let's go inside to talk." “

After saying that, he made a please, and then took the two of them inside.

Luo Zongshan arched his hand with Zhang Yue, and followed the shopkeeper Li to the store, this shop is not big, it is similar to the one in the small county where he used to be, and there are not many goods in it, that is, some pots and pans, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and other daily necessities, however, he knows that if he wants other things, he can also buy them, just talk to the shopkeeper, and pay a deposit to get it in a few days.

Shopkeeper Li did not take them around the store, but led them to a room at the back of the store.

Luo Zongshan followed into the room and took a look, and was taken aback again, the furnishings are too simple, there is a big kang head inside, there is a desk in front of the kang head, there is a bookshelf on the left side of the desk, a wardrobe on the right, and then a table for eating outside, and then it is gone.

In his opinion, the shopkeepers of the royal business are all rich people who do big business, and the place where they live should be magnificent, but he never thought that it would be like this.

Shopkeeper Li didn't care very much, he was originally just a branch of the Royal Xinglong Firm, this year the general number to mobilize a group of people to develop Siberia, the salary is quite high, he tried to register a name, but he didn't expect to be really selected, but also became a semicolon shopkeeper.

He knows that the development here has just started, and the conditions are almost normal, and the business here will definitely become more and more prosperous in the future, and it will be developed by then, and this Qianhu Luo is the God of Wealth that he wants to knot, and if he wants to make a lot of money in the future, he will rely on these terrifying Qianhu households.

Therefore, he enthusiastically invited Luo Zongshan and Zhang Yue into his room, invited them to sit down at the big table, took out the treasured good tea leaves, made them a pot of hot tea with his own hands, and then turned out two books and respectfully handed them to Luo Zongshan, and then sat down next to them.

It's a book again, and it's two, Luo Zongshan was a little confused, he took it in his hand and looked at it, there was a book he had seen, it was the list of commodities of the Ming Royal Xinglong Firm, generally there was such a book for the semicolon, most of the things on it were not in stock in the semicolon, but you could order it, what do you want, order it, they will naturally go to the semicolon to transfer it to you.

He had never seen the other one, it turned out to be a list of purchased goods, he opened it and saw that it was the things introduced in the book that the commander Ma Kai gave him, the sable fur was really five taels and one piece, the flower mink was really three taels and one piece, and the mink skin was really two taels and one piece.

The more he looked at it, the more excited he became, he became rich, there were so many things in it, many of which he had never heard of, since it was in this booklet, it must also be in his jurisdiction, but he hadn't carefully read the books that Master Ma had given him.

After roughly flipping through them, he was satisfied and pushed the two books back to Shopkeeper Li, and asked excitedly: "Shopkeeper Li, can these things on the books be pulled directly to you?" “

Shopkeeper Li poured tea for them and said with a smile: "Of course, as long as the Lord Qianhu sends things over, the small ones will settle the bill for you, noodles, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, if you need it, you can also take it first, and then settle with the goods." “

Luo Zongshan asked in disbelief: "Shopkeeper Li, what do you mean, you can take credit?" “

Shopkeeper Li still smiled and said, "Yes, you can pay on credit." “

Luo Zongshan couldn't believe his ears, and he confirmed again: "Really? “

Shopkeeper Li nodded with a smile and said, "Really." “

Luo Zongshan was puzzled: "Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to pay back the bill?" “

Shopkeeper Li shook his head with a smile and said: "That's impossible, there are a lot of products here, as long as you are willing to do it, this living expenses are nothing at all, how can you not pay off the bills." “

When Luo Zongshan heard this, he asked in surprise: "Do you know this?" I don't even know! “

Shopkeeper Li said confidently: "Of course I know, if you want to say that the development here is still the first thing that our Ming Royal Xinglong Firm started to do, but we are really not manpowered, so Mr. Xu suggested to the emperor to send more people to carry out development here." “

Being able to talk to the emperor was simply a legendary thing in Luo Zongshan's opinion, and he asked again in disbelief: "Shopkeeper Li, are you serious?" You boss Xu can actually talk in front of the emperor? “

When the shopkeeper Li heard this, he said proudly: "Of course it's true, this is the Ming royal business, which was originally the emperor's property, and our chief shopkeeper Xu is still the first assistant of the cabinet, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the grandson of Lord Xu, the prince of Zhuguo, can naturally talk to the emperor." “

Luo Zongshan, who came out of a small place, had really never heard of these rumors, and when he heard them, he couldn't help but say with reverence on his face: "You mean that this Xibo development is what the emperor meant?" “

Shopkeeper Li nodded solemnly and said: "Of course, when I was training at the head office, Mr. Xu personally said that the emperor meant, let us fully cooperate with the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry to develop Siberia." “
