On the slopes south of Huaihuang Town, the 2,500 acres of winter wheat sown last winter have all been successfully planted on a trial basis, and the people are busy sprinkling water to improve moisture. According to the three chapters of the original agreement between Li Chongjiu and the Shumin households, any household can apply for 35 acres of cultivated land from Yingyang Mansion and a ploughing ox to farm.

The first year of cultivation is tax-free, the second year is levied on one bucket per mu, and the third year is two buckets per mu. Thirty-five acres of cultivated land is quite little, because Sui is the Northern Dynasty, inherited the Wei and Zhou dynasties of the average land system, Wei is Ding Nan granted 40 acres of land, Qi is 80 acres, if there are cattle can also apply for 60 acres. However, at present, in Huaihuang Town, the cultivation of land is a sideline business, and most people still rely on tanning leather as their main business, so there are quite few cultivators.

More than 2,500 acres of land, although it is not riverside land, lack of water sources, but with the help of ploughing cattle, there is a steady stream of cattle and sheep manure to compost, and one acre can also harvest one stone of wheat. Even if you save money and use some old and young Ding Zhuang two stones per person per year, it is not enough for the people of Huaihuang Town to eat.

The population of Huaihuang Town has exceeded 8,000 people, and the meat stored for a winter last year is almost eaten after a winter. At present, corn and sorghum have not yet been planted, and as for the winter wheat has not yet been harvested, it is the time when the farmers are most worried about the lack of grass, so everyone can only eat a full meal temporarily, but fortunately, there is still a supply of mutton. If it is replaced by Shanxi, Hebei, and Shandong at this time, it is the time of spring famine, and the people want to run out of food and eat people.

Now the caravan of more than 4,000 people, the displaced people finally arrived in Huaihuang Town after trekking. The people in the city were all excited when they heard the news of the caravan and the horse gang. For the ancient times when entertainment was boring, the caravan arrived twice a year, no less than a festival. The military and civilian households in the town, as well as the elderly and children, are all calculating what they should add this year. For them, what they traded with merchants was oxen and sheepskins, and copper coins. So when Lin Dangfeng and his caravan entered the city, the people crowded on both sides of the newly built street burst into cheers, and for them, the welcome to the caravan was no less than the joy of the soldiers going home.

And the businessmen were full of surprise at the moment, especially the businessmen who had just come to Huaihuang Town half a year ago.

On the city gate, the head is engraved with three big characters of Huaihuang Town, where is the high print, marking one of the six towns in the past, rejuvenated, and after entering the city, the mule and horse walk on the six-zhang wide double-line avenue, which is particularly spacious. The merchant looked at the loess under his feet, which was obviously freshly rammed, and the houses on both sides of the street had obviously been repaired, and even a few wells were not only repaired with green bricks, but even pavilions were erected on the wells to prevent wind and sand.

On both sides of the street, hundreds of people were cheering, full of enthusiasm, and seeing the scene, those businessmen who had despised their habits in the past were honored and felt more face-saving. Now they straightened their bellies one by one, straightened their clothes and hats a little, and enjoyed the cheers of countless people. However, cheers and cheers, support and support, for businessmen who are good at profit-seeking, how to sell goods or how to sell them, whether to use a big knife or a big knife, don't want to drop a child. It is not easy for anyone to come to the grassland, although it is guarded by the Cangtou Army of Huaihuang Town, but how to say it is also a worry about life.

After the caravan entered the city, the merchants naturally went to the northeast of the city. It was planned as a commercial area early, as one of the four squares of Huaihuang Town, named the letter workshop, which was taken from the meaning of the letter in the Book of Changes. At present, there are six merchants living in the letter workshop, among which the Tianmao Chamber of Commerce is the largest, and in addition to the caravan station, there is also a large bathhouse that has just been repaired, which can accommodate 100 people to take a bath, each person only needs to pay five dollars, you can take a hearty hot bath, in addition to the bathhouse There is also an inn, the inn provides the best room, as well as meals, only Lin Dangfeng and the shopkeeper of several large merchants can settle in and enterprising. As for the other mule and horse shops, cloakshops, drinking and medicine shops on both sides of the inn, etc., they are still under construction, and there is a thriving scene on both sides of the street.

The people of the caravan were properly settled, and the Yingyang Mansion entertained these merchants with great enthusiasm and sumptuous food, the spicy mare's milk wine on the grassland, and the roasted whole sheep that made you want to swallow your tongue, and a large bowl of fragrant and greasy haggis soup, which made the merchants who had been running for several days have a full meal, and then the merchant men lay down in the straw-paved Chase shop, and slept beautifully, without the biting cold wind, and without the frightening harassment of the Hu Qi, Everyone only felt that it was dawn as soon as they closed their eyes, and the fatigue of their bodies had been washed away.

After settling in for the night, the toiling merchant gets down to business. If there is a trading house here, the caravan will directly transport most of the goods to the trading house, and then you can come to Japan for a long time and slowly pawn the purchase. As for the caravan that did not yet have a trading house in Huaihuang Town, they were ready to discuss it together and open their own storefront shop in this letter shop. This storefront shop is not expensive, you can open it by reporting to Yingyang Mansion, you can rent it or buy it out, and you can charge according to the location of the store and the size of the storefront. Under this total, of course, five more businesses are ready to take root in Huaihuang Town and set up stores.

Big merchants have the weather and means of big merchants, but the rest are small and medium-sized merchants, as well as small pony gangs, many of the merchants are coming to Mobei to try their luck, only carrying one or a few mules and horses of the goods, purely small business. Such people accounted for half of the two thousand merchants, and for them, it was not to stay in Huaihuang Town for a long time, but to quickly exchange the leather goods in their hands for huàn, exchange them for leather and horses, and then return to the Great Wall Pass to earn a second money.

For such merchants, Huaihuang Town has been prepared for a long time, and the Yingyang Mansion will open a five-day market in the grass market in the north of the city to supply these merchants to sell freely, and then in addition to the people in the town will come to buy, there will also be Hu people from nearby departments. After all, these Hu people are the main force of consumption, when it comes to the shrewd and treacherous business, how the Hu people with a straightforward temperament are not the opponents of these businessmen, for businessmen, as long as they go out of the Great Wall, Hu people are willing not to use knives, sit down and they reason, this thousand miles of grassland is simply a good place for people to come with stupid money and quickly. Tea bricks, silk, needles and threads, which were not very valuable in the Central Plains, could be exchanged here for good sheepskins, cowhides, Turkic horses, and even silver cakes.

Of course, even if the merchants can't sell these things and smash them in their hands, there is no need to worry. There is also a place to go, the Yingyang Mansion in Huaihuang Town can come forward to buy it on its own, collect any goods in the hands of merchants at a uniform price, and collect them according to the price of things, although the price is not high, but they will never let these merchants smash the goods in their hands and run in vain. Of course, such a thing, in addition to encountering the brains of transporting leather from inside the customs to selling outside the customs, it is basically impossible to occur in Huaihuang Town, where there is a shortage of goods, but this is a reassuring pill for the merchants.

Therefore, as soon as the news of the five-day market came out, all the tribes on the grassland came to hear the news. A few days before the news was released, several small tribes appeared in the north of Huaihuang Town. These Hu people are mainly the five tribes of the Xi people, and on the last day or two before the market, there are even some Turks, Tiele, and even the distant Baifei, Khitan, and Murwei tribes who also come together. At the moment, thousands of large and small tents were erected overnight in the north of Huaihuang Town. Behind the scenes, Li Chongjiu not only let people receive good students, but also strengthened his defense and kept a close eye on it.

Finally, when the grass market opened, the Hu people and the people of Huaihuang Town poured into the grass market to select goods, and even a few merchants in the city also asked the guys to set up shops in the grass market and sell goods. On this day, whether it is the Hu people or the soldiers of Huaihuang Town, it is like a festival, and the whole person is full of joy. In this era of lack of entertainment, such a large market is like a grand event, bringing people together from all over the world.

In this market, the people of all ages and children are dazzled by the dazzling goods, the women pull their husbands, in front of the stalls, reluctant to give up, patiently compare, and the children look at countless items gathered from all over the world, all of which are eye-opening. The merchant was already smiling, and his mouth was full of bargaining, and then he looked at the goods on his stall with joy, one by one in exchange for leather. Even Li Chongjiu was dragged by Ping Ping and Mu Deyun to accompany the two of them around the market.

A short day passed quickly, and the merchants were reluctant to close their stalls, but the old traders, who were accustomed to running the grasslands for a long time, knew that the night was their happiest time. A person's eyes are full of variety. At night, bonfires were lit outside the felt tents outside the city, and the sky on the grassland was flushed red like a girl's smile. The fragrant mare's milk wine, barbecue, and loud and melodious singing voices stirred everyone's hearts while teasing them, and countless merchants couldn't hold back at the moment, and took advantage of the night to run into the felt tent, singing and dancing with the Hu people.

The wine-colored and charming eyes, the Xi people, the Turks, and even the blonde women with snow muscles and blue eyes, do not take any chastity or anything like that into their hearts, these exotic orchids are full of enthusiasm. As long as you can endure the smell of sheep that fills the tent after taking off their robes, then their enthusiasm on the bed is absolutely irresistible to ordinary men. After a long night, the merchant quietly got up, put a tea brick beside the sleeping woman's pillow, and went away after a few feet of silk cloth. Hu women are bold, and after a night, they get married and part ways, so Hu women will never be entangled afterwards.
