Yan County, located in the south of Xiangcheng, on the bank of the water, was the two major gateways of the old Deng Kingdom.

Ruoxian County and Yan County, one land and one water, are the two major gateways.

With the rule of the Jingguo River, the remnants of the Hanshui Zhuji went north one after another, causing the population of Yan County and Ruo County to surge, and the scale of the two counties was second only to Xiangcheng.

Yan County has fertile land, especially the water drainage, and after the water conservancy is renovated, even if the taxes around Xiangcheng are paid this year, Yan County is not far behind.

Therefore, it is also the preferred destination of Zhu Kao, and the distribution of Jiangxia commercial houses here is close to the big market where Yan County usually trades goods, and more of them are specialties from the homes of the people around Yan County.

The chirping of cattle, sheep, horses, chickens and ducks and all kinds of domestic animals is endless.

The compound occupied by Zhu Kao was a military camp with a scale of several hundred people occupied by the Shouwang army in the old days, and Zhu Kao valued the magnanimity of this place.

The cronies were already panting and came over to report: "The owner hurried and hurried, and finally sent Jiangxia's goods to Yan County in the early hours of this morning!" ”

Zhu Kao waved his hand and said happily: "Well, yes, go down and rest with Hu, the owner invites you to eat meat and drink wine tonight!" ”

Sure enough, when they heard the most sincere rewards such as "wine and meat", everyone also laughed, and soon the leader of the entourage, who seemed to be a cronie, also waved his hand and said: "The owner's reward is not in a hurry, the big guy will be busy today, we are not busy resting, let's help for the time being." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Kao was also extremely moved, these people followed Zhu Kao before Jing Guo moved his army to the north, and Zhu Kao was also a master and servant to them.

When the Jing ** team went north to attack the Hanshui Zhuji, Zhu Kao would rather scatter all his family wealth and flee with these people, experiencing several lives and deaths on the way, and finally went into Tongbai Mountain to avoid disaster.

Later, Jiangxia and Nanjun were attached to Daqin, and Zhu Kao took these people out of Tongbai Mountain, and Zhu Kao was literate, so he took refuge in Jiangxia County Government and found an errand.

At this time, the family wealth had been lost, and the Jiangxia County Government also distributed houses and land properties to these entourage, but these people still followed Zhu Kao.

Up to now, the relationship between Zhu Kao and them is no longer "benevolent" and can be described as "benevolence", and some of them have faced the pursuit of the Red Turban Army and are willing to let Zhu Kao and his family go first.

Zhu Kao nodded, and said to many servants: "Work hard, at most a year, we will be able to do the original family business, and the brothers will be old and supportive!" ”

"Okay, with the owner's words, we can also rest assured!" Many guys replied.

Zhu Kao scolded slightly: "It's all a fateful friendship, and the owner will be angry when he says this!" ”

Everyone knew that Zhu Kao's words were not angry words, and they laughed at the moment, and they were busy sorting out those things one by one.

After everyone left, Zhu Kao also laughed and scolded twice, but watching these guys move one big box after another, he also scrubbed his palms.

Soon, the popularity gradually gathered.

"Boom!"

The sound of a gong instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding pedestrians, including the husband who carried the basket on his shoulder, and the woman who helped the old and the young.

"The market is open!"

A clear shout resounded around the downtown area.

……

Ming Zifu of Xiangcheng has also been idle these days, just waiting to pay the taxes of Nanjun, and all Ming Zifu has to do is to recruit farmers from Nanjun to organize water conservancy construction.

One of the biggest things in this winter is to develop a dam, which is to use a low-lying area in South County to build a dam, so that if there is a flash flood in the future, the dam can be opened to discharge the flood water to avoid disasters in other parts of South County.

Once the summer rainy season arrives, it becomes a man-loving beast that ravages the land of Hanshui Zhuji.

Ming Zifu did not hesitate to use the land of the two counties as a flood discharge place to ensure the stability of the northern part of Nanjun, which shows the scale of the flood disaster.

This is a grand project, and it will take at least tens of thousands of people to complete it, and it will take three years at the latest.

While he was in his thoughts, Ming Zifu was interrupted by a sudden rush of footsteps, and he couldn't help frowning, and when he raised his head, he realized that it was Mingquan coming.

"What's wrong?" Ming Zifu frowned and asked, Ming Quan was in such a hurry, something must have happened.

Mingquan said with a dark color and urgency: "Uncle, it's not good, it's Gongzi Yan...... It is Jiangxia Commercial Bank, which is collecting the grain storage of the people of Nanjun! ”

"Grain storage?" Ming Zifu also trembled, the people take food as the sky, this matter is the top priority, so Ming Zifu also has to care.

It is precisely because of this that Ming Zifu then asked: "Isn't Jiangxia Commercial Bank doing a bad thing of forcibly buying and selling?!" ”

Mingquan's face turned red from running over, and he said, "That's not the case, uncle, it's a normal businessman's method, but it's ...... It's really menacing! ”

"Long story short!" Ming Zifu scolded slightly.

Hearing this, Mingquan took out a few copper plates from his arms, lined them up on the table in front of Ming Zifu, and said, "Jiangxia Commercial Bank used this thing to exchange the reserves in the homes of the people of Nanjun?" ”

"Copper plate ornament ......" Looking at the copper plate on the table, Ming Zifu's first impression was like a decorative thing, but then Ming Zifu himself shook his head at this guess, and the copper plate ornament ...... How can the people take out food in exchange?

"Ancient Coin!"

Ming Zifu's pupils shrank, and he finally understood what this similar copper plate ornament was!

Ancient Coins!

Ming Zifu also thought about it, and also knew the intention of this Jiangxia trading house, to be precise, the ambition of His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan!

It seems that this highness is really ambitious...... 〗

Ming Zifu sighed like this, and immediately raised the corners of his mouth, when he was in Wancheng, he often heard Jun Shang talk about Gongzi Yan's evaluation of "being strategic in the military but not enough in governing the family".

Now it seems that His Royal Highness Gongzi Yan is not enough to govern the family, if this ambition is made by Gongzi Yan, at least fifty percent of the wealth of the entire Great Qin will fall into Gongzi Yan's pocket.

Obviously, Akiko has not yet realized the importance of this matter, and has not yet thought about a crucial issue.

namely

The reason is precisely because of the chaos of various currencies in the Great Qin State, whether it is the Central Plains, or Jingchu, or even the wild Bashu land, all kinds of currencies are flooded in the territory of the Great Qin State.

In short, the people in Daqin are willing to use the primitive means of "bartering", which is precisely the distrust of the existing currency of Daqin!

Looking at his uncle's face gradually calming down, Mingquan also knew what his uncle was thinking now, and said at the moment: "Uncle, now Jiangxia Commercial Bank only chooses to use this kind of copper plate to trade, and the grain of the people of Nanjun has all been replaced with this copper plate, a bucket of grain and a copper plate, and the news I got today, in one day, the Jiangxia Commercial Bank in Xiangcheng alone has exchanged nearly a thousand stones of grain from Nanjun!" ”

Hearing this, Ming Zifu's expression changed greatly, and he finally realized the seriousness of the situation!
