Cao Tong observed the money village for five days, every day there is an endless stream of people to come to deposit, there are ordinary people, there are also wealthy businessmen, conservative estimates, these few days of hard work, has amassed 3 million wealth, and when the official operation of the field, how much money will be immeasurable.

Uncle Cao Guo was also worried that his family's annual wealth of tens of millions of yuan was too eye-catching, but when he saw Wang Ning'an, he knew what it meant to turn a little stone into gold, and the wealth was rivaling the country!

There are only a dozen doors, dozens of office personnel, and when the sign is hung out, countless people are sent in with money, in comparison, the Cao family is weak.

When I return to Tokyo, why don't I also set up a stall, there are many more rich people in the capital than in Pingxian, and if the big guys come in with money, it will be so shocking!

Uncle Cao's eyes were full of strings of copper coins, as if he was crazy...... Wang Ningan didn't care, Uncle Cao, you'd better do this, it won't be long before the Cao family's little money is filled in!

Just seeing thieves eating meat, but not seeing thieves being beaten, is it so easy to open a money bank?

There must be the right time, place and people, and it is not possible to do anything without it.

The so-called time, that is the field and the city, a little bit of business people will be able to see, Pingxian County has unlimited potential in the future, there is a city of silver, there is a tax, business travel from all over the country poured in, and will push up the price of land, investment in Pingxian, no matter how you look at it, you will not lose money.

As for the location, thanks to the flood, ninety out of five of the people in Pingxian County were victims, and a flood washed away all their family property, as well as all the shackles and fetters...... There is no distinction between the high and the low, and every person in Pingxian County wants to make money to support their families, and whoever can make the most money is capable.

The original clans, village elders, gentry, officials, and even the statues of the gods in the temple were washed away, and the people went into battle completely lightly, on the ruins, with their own hands, to create the future. Obviously, it's much easier to work on a blank sheet of paper than to draw a sheet of paper full of colors.

Speaking of people, we have to mention our wise Wang Zhixian, who did not rush to recruit errand servants, nor did he accept Bao Zheng's gift, but did not hesitate to use the protΓ©gΓ© of the Six Arts School.

It looks like a group of little dolls, the oldest is only in their twenties, what can they do?

Not to mention, these little guys just work!

When the big guys discussed that they would rely on industry and commerce to establish a county, they quickly decided to build a city that was easy to do business. It seems logical, but it is earth-shattering when placed in the Great Song Dynasty!

Shinong industry and commerce, businessmen have always been at the last, even if the society of the Great Song Dynasty is open, the status of businessmen is not very high. In other places, or a group of adults, let them serve the businessmen, open the door to business, it is simply unreasonable, and no one will agree.

But these little guys who are not deeply involved in the world don't care, the court relies on scholars, so they don't hesitate to raise soldiers, Pingxian needs businessmen, so naturally they have to treat businessmen well.

From the moment they entered the prefecture, they provided convenience to merchants.

They also spared no expense to build four Di shops, the so-called Di Dian, which was originally just a warehouse, and later developed into a trading place with various functions, and Wang Yuanbao, the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, started by opening a Di shop.

Pingxian Di store, even more different, in addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, all kinds of enjoyment, there are also a variety of commodity information, as long as you walk around the hall, everything is clear at a glance.

In addition to this, a completely new way of trading has been created here.

For example, if a silk merchant wants to sell 100 pieces of silk, the clerk who works in the mansion will first inspect the goods to ensure the quality, and then the scribe will truthfully describe the goods and post them on the bulletin board.

At this time, the merchant who needs the goods can put his own price into the wooden box under the bulletin board.

Settle every half day, if there are many people bidding, who has the highest price, the goods will belong to whom, of course, there is also a situation, that is, everyone pays less than the price they want to sell, this is considered a failed bid, and the merchant can redeem his goods, or take away, or reprice.

According to the rules of the Didian, only after the transaction is completed, a 5% of the rake will be charged, of which 10% will be paid to the county treasury as a transaction tax, and the remaining half will be used as the income of the Didian.

Cao Tong also went to the Didian to see it, and this method is really wonderful. It is so convenient to take care of both the buyer and the seller, and the business is negotiated between leisurely walking, eating, drinking and having fun.

Can a businessman not want to come?

No, in the Didian of Pingxian County, there are many businessmen with southern accents, most of them are Jiangnan and Lianghuai, and there are also many businessmen in Huguang, Sichuan, and Lingnan who are on their way to Pingxian.

In the past, most of the merchants in the south took the transportation and sent the goods to the capital, and Bianjing first consumed countless commodities, and then transferred the rest to Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places...... Since the establishment of the city division in Pingxian County, Hu in the capital has been intercepted.

The silk, tea, and porcelain in the south of the Yangtze River can go directly by sea and land in Pingxian.

The shipping of the Great Song Dynasty has been very developed, and it is no problem to go south to the South Seas, or even to India, and it is a piece of cake to go north to Ping County.

If you take the sea route, you can bypass the tax cards on the canal, and even if you lose a little, it is completely acceptable.

After arriving in Pingxian, there are more options to choose from, which can be sold to the Khitans through the Rongchang, or through Pingxian, it can be transferred to all parts of Hebei.

And the most important thing is that Pingxian candles, soap, spirits, fur products, wood, jewelry, medicine, etc., are all needed by Jiangnan.

One back and forth, the ship is not empty, the profit is huge, some people have even estimated, between the exchanges, the average can earn fifty percent of the profit, go twice, the capital will be earned.

Let's ask the businessmen of the world, can they not gather in Pingxian!

After arriving in Pingxian, I found that food, clothing, housing and transportation, everything is convenient, the officials are kind, the efficiency is very high, each workshop, in order to rush to work, even around the clock, everyone is diligent, it is convenient to hire labor, plus the convenience of the bank!

Oh my God, it's a businessman's paradise!

Looking at the Great Song Dynasty, there is no more dynamic place than Ping County.

Merchants gather, there is logistics, there is gold flow, there is popularity...... Pingxian County is like taking the Ten Perfect Tonic Pills, developing rapidly, almost one day at a time, and after a few months of hard work, there is actually a night market!

That's right, it's the night market!

You must know that in this era, except for Bianliang, Tokyo, other cities are pitch black, and there is no nightlife at all.

Less than a year after the county was founded, Pingxian County had a thriving night market, with towering wooden pillars lining the streets lined with upside-down lanterns illuminated by whale wax and regularly filled with candles to ensure that the streets were always bright.

Such a grand occasion is absolutely miraculous!

The people set up food stalls along the street, and all kinds of food with all kinds of colors and flavors attracted the guests to move their appetites and linger. Many people who can't do heavy work also rely on selling snacks to earn living expenses.

It's old, but it can't be scrapped.

Pingxian does not raise a useless person, as long as you can still work, you have to work, in the past two years of famine, there is a loud slogan: no work, no food!

Even if the children feel sorry for their elders and are unwilling to let them show their faces, the old people will come up with this trick to deal with them, don't let them go out, don't eat, don't care how powerful the children are, when they encounter this trick, they all surrender obediently......

People who have not experienced the famine will never be able to experience the horror of hunger, and the people of Pingxian County use crazy labor to dispel the fear in their hearts.

When they earn money, their favorite thing to go to is the grain store, like a hard-working squirrel, constantly moving food to the house, and at least saving enough food for the family for three months, so that they can feel at ease.

……

"I really can't imagine that in a short time, Pingxian County actually has the taste of the capital, Wang Erlang is really amazing!" Yan Shu sat in the private room of the teahouse, looking at the bustling street, and let out a heartfelt admiration.

Opposite him, Fan Zhongyan, who had a white beard, smiled faintly.

"Compared to the capital, the old man thinks it's better?"

"Brother Xiwen, what do you mean by this?"

Fan Zhongyan put down the teacup and sighed with emotion, "Up and down Pingxian County, almost everyone works and earns money with their hands, high-spirited, upward, vigorous, and vigorous!" In contrast, the capital is gloomy, with officials, nobles, royal relatives, eunuchs, and forbidden soldiers...... Layer upon layer of oppression, they never rely on their own efforts, but rely on the support of all parties, just like the children and grandchildren, who do not work hard and eat the family for a lifetime, how can it be admired? ”

Even if he was teaching in seclusion, Fan Zhongyan did not change his sharp temper, Yan Shu of course felt the same way, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The capital is not an unfilial son, but a great master, the great master of the blue sky who presses on the people of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Fan Zhongyan sighed again, and walked to the window helplessly, on the road outside, pedestrians were constantly shuttling, and suddenly a merchant pushing a wheelbarrow was careless, the car overturned, and the red dates in the sack were spilled out.

happened to pass by a student of the Six Arts, he hurriedly greeted everyone, helped the merchant to pick up all the red dates, the sack came out, and hurriedly found someone to borrow hemp rope, sew it again, and then sent the merchant away with a smile.

Fan Zhongyan saw it in his eyes, and suddenly his heart moved.

"This is what a court official should look like!"

Fan Zhongyan suddenly sighed with emotion, "Wrong, we are all wrong, Shinong Industry and Commerce, all along, we have always thought that scholars are high, the son of heaven, and the people of An, are the darlings of heaven and natural nobles." In fact, it is not the case, the peasants farm, the workers make tools, and the merchants communicate between the north and the south, transporting goods...... What did the scholars do? Just sit back and enjoy it! ”

Yan Shu listened a little disapprovingly, "Brother Xiwen is serious, if there is no scholar to manage, wouldn't the world be in chaos?" ”

This is a good saying, but even if a scholar is meritorious, he can't be above others, be powerful, and enjoy endless support, right? It was all the people's blood and sweat, and we asked ourselves, are we ashamed of it? Fan Zhongyan asked bitterly.

Yan Shu hesitated slightly, but he could only nod and praise: "Brother Xiwen has enlightened." ”

"It's a pity that it's too late, and the future can only be pinned on young people." Fan Zhongyan said sincerely.
