1203. Chapter 1203: The Bazaar

The new officials in Shu admired Tang Zhou very much. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

In the past, when they were in Chang'an City, they admired Tang Zhou, but most of them were people who had just entered the Jinshi and wanted to get close to Tang Zhou, but they also had to have this opportunity.

Now that they have come to Shuzhong, they finally have this opportunity.

Everyone, you and I said word by word, Tang Zhou waved his hand when they were about to speak: "Ben Hou is going to establish a market in Yizhou City, which will open in half a month, after you return to your respective prefectures and counties, you must step up contact with the people and let them take their own things to sell in the market." ā€

"Don't worry, little marquis, we'll do it when we go back."

"That's right, we will definitely make Yizhou City a second East-West City."

After everyone finished speaking, they left Jianmen Pass, while Tang Zhou found some people and asked them to go to Yizhou City to open up a market for trading.

If you want the people of Shuzhong to live well, you must let their goods circulate, but Shuzhong is not like Chang'an, there are two cities in the east and west for everyone to buy and sell, but no, Tang Zhou can open up one.

In addition to the people of Shuzhong who could come here to trade, Tang Zhou felt that merchants from other places should also come, merchants from other places brought things here, and they bought and sold things here to other places, so that it could be regarded as real business.

After Tang Zhou gave such an order, those people immediately rushed to Yizhou City, and the reason why Tang Zhou wanted to open the market in Yizhou City was also through a lot of considerations.

Yizhou City is in the center of Shuzhong, and it was the largest town in Shuzhong in the early days, with a large population and extensive access, so it is very suitable to build the market here.

Moreover, Yizhou City was originally a concentration of some merchants for trade, but it was not as famous as the east and west cities of Chang'an City, so only some merchants in Shu knew, but if the people of Shuzhong in other places transported all the specialties from all over the country, they would definitely be able to attract merchants from other places, and there were more and more people, and Shuzhong would naturally be able to prosper.

Not long after this arrangement continued, the people sent by Tang Zhou to investigate and repair the road rushed back.

"Little Hou Ye, this route you designed is the closest road to the outside, but there are many sections of the road that may not be easy to implement, there are mountains in some places, and rivers in some places are blocked, if you want to open the road, you have to move the mountain, you have to drive the bridge, this will be very difficult, so Xia Guan feels that instead of taking this route, it is better to open another one."

The official said and took out a route he had designed, and said: "Although this route is a little longer, there are no mountains on the way, there are no rivers blocking the road, it will be more convenient to build, and there are many towns near this road, which is also very beneficial to the travel of the people of Fujun." ā€

This official should be less than thirty years old, a little dark, lean and skinny, Tang Zhou took the line he designed and looked at it, and after reading it, he felt that it was indeed much more convenient than his own.

Tang Zhou thought about the route before, mainly considering the distance, after all, he was not very clear about these, thinking about getting the nearest one, it was not trouble-free, but in the end, he had not gone through a field investigation, and he did not do this professionally, so there were many loopholes in the design.

But this person's is very good, Tang Zhou glanced at it, felt that this person was a usable talent, and asked, "What's your name?" ā€

The man said: "Back to the Hou Ye, the next official Song Wei." ā€

Tang Zhou nodded and said with satisfaction: "Okay, just do it according to your design, and you will be solely responsible for this matter, if you have any needs, just tell Ben Hou." ā€

Tang Zhou's words, Song Wei was shocked, he just proposed a new route, Tang Zhou handed over the whole thing to himself, he also believed in himself too easily, right?

However, although he was shocked, he was also ecstatic in his heart, and hurriedly responded: "Little Marquis, rest assured, I will definitely open up a road for Shuzhong to benefit the people." ā€

Tang Zhou bowed: "Ben Hou believes that you can do it." ā€

Tang Zhou's employment is so casual, as long as you have real talent and real learning, it doesn't matter how high or low your official position is.

------------------------------

It's the end of autumn.

Early this morning, when the sky was still gray, Lao Wang pushed a wheelbarrow and hurried to Yizhou City.

The old king lives in a small county ten miles away from Yizhou City, and his ancestors have passed down a craft, kneading clay people.

His skills are very good, he can use clay to make the villain come to life, and he usually sells it in his own small place, and he can make a living in front of him.

However, some time ago, Yizhou City opened up a large bazaar, and there were even soldiers everywhere along the street to publicize, saying that today is the first day of the bazaar, but anyone who has goods to sell can be sold, and absolutely no taxes are charged.

The old king has a son, but unfortunately the rebels were killed by conscription when they occupied Shuzhong, and now there is only a little grandson and his original wife left in the family, and the three people in the family have to feed, and there are fewer people in the place where he lives now because of the war, and now there are not many people who are still interested in the clay figurines he pinched.

He also knows that although his skills are good, after all, he should not eat or drink, and there may be people who buy and play in the peaceful era, but if others even have a problem eating, who wants you to do this?

Now, he has a problem even maintaining the life of his family, so after hearing the propaganda of those officials, he thought of trying his luck in Yizhou City.

Before dawn, he was bombarded by his old woman, but he was not in a hurry, first of all, he didn't know how the market in Yizhou City was, and besides, the place where he lived now should be very close to Yizhou City, so he didn't have to get up so early.

What's the hurry?

The old king pushed the wheelbarrow and walked slowly, there was a thick fog in the late autumn morning, but all kinds of birdsong could already be heard, the old king's mood was inexplicably a little good, and he couldn't help but whistle a few times.

He can't help but whistle when he's happy, but since the rebels occupied Shuzhong, he hasn't blown it again, and he is obviously a little rusty when he blows it again this morning.

is blowing, the front can faintly see some figures shaking, foggy and reasonable, can only see a back, the old king felt that it was boring to be alone in a hurry, so he shouted: "Where are the friends in front?" ā€

The figure paused slightly, and then a voice came: "Yizhou City Market." ā€

"I'm also going to the Yizhou City Market, how about a companion?"

The old king said and chased after him, and after catching up, he found that the person in front of him was also pushing a wheelbarrow, and there were a few Shu brocades on it, looking gorgeous, and then looking at the person, he was about the same age as himself.

"What do you call my brother?"

"My surname is Zhou, and everyone calls me Da Zhou."

Lao Wang Tou smiled: "Everyone calls me Lao Wangtou, seeing that Brother Da Zhou is not young, why do you still come out to do this business?" ā€

I asked this just to pass the time, and I didn't think about it, but Da Zhou's expression changed suddenly.
