Yingzhou City.

After a short but brutal purge, Jeju Island, oh, should now be called Tamna, took on an unusual prosperity—the gentry of the two prefectures in the west of the island were almost swept away, and their land, wealth, and even women had long since been redistributed to the Ming people of the island or the Tamna people who were pro-Liao through some rule or unspoken rule.

Yes, it's the Tamna people!

This was the expected surprise of the Great Purge. Profit has always been the most effective and fastest way to gain loyalty. A large amount of land and floating wealth were scattered, and the islanders crowded into the new yamen like carp crossing the river to receive the land deeds and land deeds, and before they knew it, they were brainwashed by the officials who had long been tied to the chariots of the Ming people, and became the most loyal supporters of the new dynasty - now no one on the island dares to call themselves Koreans, at least on the surface.

Another harvest of the purge was the sheer number of "labor camps" in which thousands of obsessed North Koreans were thrown into the labor to transform their disobedient hearts.

The abundance of labor has led to a sharp increase in the pace of construction on Tamna Island - the bluestone-paved road from the Sunrise Pier to the South Gate of Yingzhou, which was originally expected to take three months, has now been fully completed with the addition of these North Korean labors; The horse road from the east gate of Jeju to the west gate of Yingju was originally planned to be opened in half a year, but now it is still more than three miles away from Helong; Even the long-term southern passage – which runs southwest from the city of Yingzhou to Jingyi County and then west to Dajing County – has begun to level the land and excavate the foundations.

The smooth roads made the originally somewhat empty city of Yingzhou quickly prosper - all kinds of sea fish caught by the fishermen, pearl mussels and sea cucumbers touched by the sea girls, fur and wind meat brought by the herdsmen, and even orange mandarin goods produced in Halla Mountain, all flowed to the new capital of the Tamna Kingdom.

In addition to selling goods, the first attraction for the people of Tamluo is the "Taobao Department Store" on the central square of Yingzhou City. This three-storey "high-rise building" covering an extremely wide area like a maze has earned enough eyeballs since the day of its debut - the gatehouse with heavy eaves is about several feet high, and the long cornices on the two corners slash the sky, and they want to fly away; The gate is eight meters wide and made of rosewood, which can be pulled and folded in a wooden trough at the bottom; On each side of the gate there is a huge glass wall, and you can see the inside clearly from the square; When you enter the house, there is glass everywhere - the windows are no longer paper-paste, they are all bright and transparent flat glass; Most counters are also inlaid with glass, so you don't have to take them out to take a closer look; The place where ready-to-wear is sold has a huge glass mirror that can fit the whole person in, so that the little daughters-in-law and the big girls will not want to return......

In this era when palm-sized glass mirrors can be sold for hundreds of taels of silver, Taobao Department Store is so "wasteful" that the glass is simply red to the point of madness - as early as the construction of the probe brain, and on the day of the opening, the huge central square was crowded, and some people even rushed from Dajing County in the east of the island for a day and a night, just to see what the glass stacked house looks like! There are many people, but there are not many who dare to step into it - if one or two pieces of so many precious glass are broken, the whole family can't afford to lose money if they sell it clean!

For this matter, the guys in uniform in Taobao Department Store worked hard, and finally invited people in; When they entered, everyone breathed a sigh of relief—the most conspicuous and convenient place in the store was the place where the glass objects were sold, and the prices were also shocking: glass mirrors set on wooden handles that could be carried around, but only two taels of silver; Even if it is a little larger enough to be placed on a dresser, it is only ten taels of silver; The most exciting thing is the kind of transparent glass that is one foot square, and a piece is only 200 yuan! No wonder this Taobao department store dares to be so "ruined", it turns out that this glass is not expensive; Needless to say, the rich children of Myeongshuidong have long begun to calculate the size and replace all the half-transparent paper windows in their homes; Even the villagers of Tamna, who had just divided the land and floating wealth, pinched their fingers, and didn't dare to think about changing the windows, and buying a piece back to inlay it in the hall house would be a little more rich and noble, wasn't it?

In addition to glass, the goods in other counters of Taobao Department Store are also exciting: the refined salt of Baihuahua is piled up like a hill, which is much better than the original official salt in Jeju City, and there are only five children per catty, which is 90% cheaper than the official salt; Iron farm tools are even more popular with the villagers, whether it is a sharp sickle or a bright plowshare, a look at the edge of the blade will know that it is made of fine steel, although the price is not expensive, but it is really worth the money, you must know how much money the village blacksmith gives you, and the sickle will not take two days to roll the blade; People take food as the sky, Taobao Department Store is of course indispensable to sell grain, but in addition to the common rice and white noodles, there are more than two things that have never been seen before, Huang Chengcheng is called corn cob, a lump and a lump with soil is called potatoes - just look at it and don't know how it tastes, but this price is really exciting, potatoes are two pennies a catty, and corn cobs are as long as one penny, which is almost the same as giving away for nothing! There was also a student of the academy next to him, holding a book that he didn't know what he didn't know, and when he saw someone selling it, he carefully told him, but the content was how to grow these two novel crops.

A huge Taobao department store, all kinds of novelty items account for more than half, what tomatoes, chili sauce; what sofas, sponge mattresses; What cigarettes, liquor...... Just looking at it can make people dazzled; Of course, in addition to these, the so-called "southern goods" sold from the interior of the Ming Dynasty in the Joseon Dynasty were also everything--white cotton cloth from Songjiang Prefecture, silk from Suzhou Prefecture, porcelain from Jingdezhen, and tea from Wuyi Mountain...... The variety is varied, and the price is cheaper than the old South goods stores in Jeju City, which is not a star and a half, and the villagers of Tamna are so happy that they pick up this and look at that, and they only hate that they bring less copper when they go out!

The craze brought by the opening of Taobao Department Store was so great that half a month later, the central square of Yingzhou City was still bustling, and even at the second watch in the middle of the month, there were still people buying in brightly lit stores, carrying large bags of goods and smiling out of the house.

Where there are people, there are business opportunities, and other industries around the square suddenly flourish - is it inconvenient to carry a lot of copper coins? The government-run money bank is right next to it! Can't go back when it's dark? All kinds of hotels and car shops have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, stay one night and then go! Hungry and craving something to eat? Turn left when you go out of the Taobao store, and there is everything on the snack street! Tired of shopping and want to relax? The Grand Theater on the opposite side of the square is waiting, whether it's listening to music or watching dance, it's all authentic thin horses from Yangzhou! As for the more inappropriate activities for children, of course, there are corresponding places to offer.

In addition to the residential merchants, there are more jugglers, knick-knacks, and cross talk people in the square...... The word stall is also one of them, helping people write a letter and keep an account, and there are quite a few down-and-out readers who set up the table.

No, in front of one of the word stalls at noon that day, a man and a woman came. (To be continued.) Mobile phone users, please browse and read, a better reading experience.
