I benefited a lot from the opening of the grain store in Qianhusuo, so I immediately opened a salt shop, the salt tax was very strictly controlled in this era, but no one could manage me in my own territory, and the foreign salt cost seven or eight taels of silver a stone, about 60-70 wen a catty, and my cost is so low, how to sell it will not lose, and I want to earn the loyalty of the locals, so there is a soldier to prove that the price is 20 wen a catty, and outsiders buy it is 30 wen a catty, If the news spreads, I believe that residents from many places around the area or smuggled salt sellers will also come here to buy salt, and it can also drive the prosperity of the local area.

Feng Youcai is worried about canceling the custom of binding feet now, I don't know if it can be enforced, this is not good to use force to force, it can only be guided, first of all, I asked Niuniu to let go of her feet, she is still young, I don't know if she can recover, I feel distressed when I look at it. My sister's little niece couldn't bear to let her suffer, and I said to my mother and sister that I was resolutely against binding my feet.

On February 14, Lu Buqiang sent someone to inform Feng Youcai that the Xi'an grain store was ready and could wait for Feng Youcai to open at any time. After asking for the address in Xi'an, he asked the messenger to go down to rest, and told him to go back tomorrow by himself and not to go with him.

On the side of the Thousand Households, Feng Youcai swept away the original Hundred Households Official and the Chief Flag Officer, and there was no resistance after recovering the land and official position he illegally occupied, and the future thing was that Zheng Hao and Zhang Yang were busy, so Feng Youcai was ready to take advantage of this time not to be busy, go to Xi'an once, and by the way, set up the system exit over there, also to facilitate future actions.

On the evening of February 14, the 45th year of Wanli, Feng Youcai first went to Ningxia Mansion, first looked at the grain inventory, and then filled the warehouse with grain, and then came to the reception room and asked Zhanlong, it turned out that Lu Buqian arranged for someone to go to Xi'an to do preparatory work a year ago, so things went very smoothly, and Lu Buqian had already passed, and it was estimated that I would wait for myself now.

Early the next morning, I took Feng Di and other 5 people to Xi'an on horseback, Xi'an to Ningxia has more than 700 kilometers of road, the time schedule is very tight, plan to arrive in 5 days, catch 140 kilometers a day, for the current Feng Youcai is not easy.

Along the road are a piece of desolation, many passers-by walk in the cold wind, are shivering from the cold, the northwest winter is still very difficult.

On February 19, Feng Youcai and his entourage rushed to Xi'an, it was already afternoon, and they inquired with many people, and finally found the Sihai Grain Store. Under the leadership of the young man, he went to the Four Seas Merchant House outside the city.

"Haha, young master, I finally looked forward to you, just waiting for you to open."

"Look at you in a hurry, don't you see I'm tired?"

"Sin, aren't I happy, young master, please wash first, and then eat."

"Okay, you can arrange it, I'm really tired today."

After eating, Lu Buqian introduced the situation here to Feng Youcai, "Young master, this side adopts the same model as Ningxia, in order to keep it secret, the warehouse is placed outside the city, and large wholesale customers have to go to the warehouse to pick up the goods, and the city is only retail and convenient for customers to contact." Our current location is called Wujiabao, 3 miles and a half from the north gate of Xi'an City, the traffic is more convenient, especially suitable for foreign customers to pick up goods. This was originally a fort, and then it was abandoned, and Hejia Fort was rebuilt in the northeast, where a large family even bought the fort and the surrounding land, and expanded the fort again, but then moved away, so it was necessary to sell this fort, because the asking price was very high, it was not sold for many years, and this price caught up with the big mansion in Xi'an City, who still spent this unjust money, I spent 60,000 silver to buy it, is it expensive? ”

"Go on"

"Yes, young master, pay 10,000 taels of silver every year, pay off in 6 years, this house is 400 meters from north to south and east to west, there are arrow towers on the four corners of the fort, the arrow tower is more than 8 meters high, the courtyard wall is 6 meters high, the top is 2 meters wide, the outer wall is covered with bricks, and the moat is 15 meters wide, which is much more magnificent than the fort in Ningxia Mansion, so the price is so much higher. Isn't the young master dissatisfied? “

"I'm not dissatisfied, the cost of building such a fort must be a lot, I'm worried about how many people will be able to guard it?"

"Young master, didn't you say last time that there were 7 centurians stationed and 1 centenarian baggage team?"

"Even these people are not insured, the place is much bigger, and it is not easy to keep."

"So what to do?"

"Don't worry about it, I'll take a look tomorrow and then talk about it, you can be busy with the opening of the business first, so it's still open the day after tomorrow, tonight I will prepare the guards according to 5 army hundreds, 1 light cavalry hundred, one heavy cavalry hundred, and 1 heavy cavalry hundred, and you can start transporting food to the city early tomorrow morning."

"Yes, young master, then you can rest early."

Feng Youcai waited for Lu Buqian to leave before asking Meimei to form 8 hundred-person teams according to the request just now, plus 1 thousand-person commander and 1 middle-level military division to assist the thousand-person commander in his work.

Feng Youcai got up early the next morning, and first released the thousand-person Changzhan Hu, the intermediate staff officer Liu Wen, and the 8 hundred-person team that were synthesized by the system last night from the system hall, and Lu Buqian asked people to arrange the accommodation of these people and the place where the horses were stored and fed, and he led Feng Youcai to the warehouse, which was larger than the warehouse in Ningxia Mansion. This time, I bought 600 points of rice and 50 points of white noodles, and in the future, Xi'an will still sell rice, followed by white noodles, so that the inventory is small.

As for the price, Feng Youcai doesn't care, or refers to the price of Ningxia Mansion and the local area, and Lu Buqian is responsible for the rest.

After Feng Youcai had breakfast, he saw that everyone was busy, so he had nothing to do, and he was bored, so he went back to the guest room, set the guest room as his own system exit, and released Feng Shi out, so that he could continue to stay here for 1 month, and in the future, each guard would have to be stationed in Yinchuan and Xi'an for 1 month every year, otherwise there would be no high-end combat power here, which would make people feel uneasy.

After introducing Feng Shi and Zhan Hu to each other, he asked his guest room to be guarded, and no one could enter.

Then accompanied by Zhan Hu and Liu Wen, he inspected the house, this house is still very defensible, there are more than 8 meters high arrow tower in each corner, similar to the design of Lingbao, can be defensive and attack in 2 directions at the same time, the wall is very thick, the courtyard wall is also very high, more than 1 meter higher than his own Zhenguan Fort, the moat outside is also wider, directly connected to the Qingshui River, he really can't make a good suggestion, so let Zhan Hu and Liu Wen discuss the defense.

He also instructed Zhan Hu that Feng Shi was to strengthen his high-end combat power, and he would not participate in the management and arrangement of guards, and all the safety would be handed over to you, so you should do it well and use your brains more.
