Under the guidance of the county Cheng Sutong and the chief bookkeeper Wang Yan, Zhou Chen led people to inspect the Fang City, which was about to be completed.

Right Yulin Wei commanded Tie Shaotang, Jinyi Wei Baihu Xu Yan and Chen Yun and others accompanied him.

Whenever Zhou Chen and the others walked into a shop, the vendors in it greeted everyone very warmly.

Although it is still uncertain whether the future situation of this Fang City will be true, since these vendors have set up their own shops in the Fang Market, they must abide by the rules designated by Zhou Chen in this Fang City.

Now that Zhou Chen, the rule-maker, has come to inspect, how dare these vendors be the slightest bit negligent?

Even the heads of the top families of the Jin merchants, the Jin family, the Liang family, and the Zhai family, they were also respectful when facing Zhou Chen and others.

After inspecting the shops in the horizontal square market in detail, Zhou Chen led everyone to the three vertical square markets.

Although not all the vendors in the Sansanfang City that were established horizontally were stationed, the utilization rate of the shops could still reach about six or seven percent.

Comparatively speaking, the usage rate of the longitudinal market in the past three days is very scarce.

In this huge three longitudinal markets, there are only three or five vendors from the grassland.

They say they are traders, but in fact they are just ordinary herdsmen.

These herdsmen were all herders who had smuggled with the Fan Tian family in the first place.

A few days ago, when Jinyiwei completely controlled the Fan Tian family, Zhou Chen asked people to spread the news of the opening of the mutual market to the grassland through the previous smuggling channels of the Fan Tian family.

However, to this day, only a few herders have settled in the market, and most of the goods sold are said to be wool and sheepskins.

As for those sturdy cattle, sheep and livestock, and even the war horses that the Ming Dynasty wanted to trade the most, no one sold them in this mutual market at all.

In this regard, Zhou Chen did not feel any loss and discouragement.

Now that this mutual market has just been established after all, it is natural that the business will be sluggish, and Zhou Chen has already expected it in advance.

When the mutual market is really opened, and the traders and people in the grassland and the Ming Dynasty know about this mutual market, the situation of the mutual market will naturally become more and more prosperous.

When Zhou Chen inspected the general situation of each Fang City, Cheng Sutong, the county Cheng Su Tong, who was responsible for supervising the construction of this Fang City, was naturally the closest to Zhou Chen.

Su Tong followed closely behind Zhou Chen, and he reported to Zhou Chen with a full face:

"My lord, after the concerted efforts of hundreds of ordinary laborers, the establishment of this mutual market seems to be coming to an end.

Not only is the building in the market about to be completed, but there are also many vendors who have already moved into the market.

As long as you choose a good day and hang a plaque, this mutual market can be truly put into use.

Tomorrow is the most suitable auspicious day in this period of time.

My lord, is it feasible to designate this time as an auspicious day for hanging the plaque?! ”

Hearing Su Tong's words in his ears, Zhou Chen couldn't help but nod slowly, he said approvingly: "Su County Cheng and Wang Zhushu have made meritorious contributions to the mutual market, and this official will naturally not forget it." ”

In the process of supervising the construction of this mutual market, the chief bookkeeper Wang Yan also spent a lot of effort and energy.

Although he didn't speak out at the moment, Zhou Chen would not forget him when he talked about meritorious deeds in the future.

After encouraging the two of them, Zhou Chen made the final decision, only to hear his voice say solemnly: "Regarding the opening of this mutual market, everything must not be sloppy.

Since Su County has found out that tomorrow's three o'clock is an auspicious day, then we will choose to hang a plaque for the mutual market at that time and officially put the mutual market into operation. ”

Zhou Chennai was the official who was fully responsible for the opening of the mutual market, and after he made a decision, the other people present naturally would not have any other opinions.

They all bowed to Zhou Chen and said, "We will obey your lordship's orders." ”

"Well, there's nothing else going on here.

Therefore, this official will not delay your time too much, and you can now disperse on your own.

It would be nice if you could come here to join the ceremony of hanging the plaque before three o'clock tomorrow. ”

After inspecting all of Rokujobo City, Zhou Chen waved his hand and signaled everyone present to leave after finding that there were no unexpected problems, as long as they didn't delay the auspicious time for hanging the plaque tomorrow.

"I'll retire!"

Everyone in the audience replied.

However, just as they were about to turn around and leave, Zhou Chen suddenly called the two of them, including Su Tong and Wang Yan, the chief bookkeeper.

I saw Zhou Chen's expression solemnly instructed: "Su Xiancheng, the king is the master, and the two of you have to work hard to get tired of the two of you, and you will prepare everything you need tomorrow." ”

"The subordinate obeys!"

Su Tong and Wang Yan didn't feel any impatience when they arrived, and even said in response.

Seeing that Su Tong and Wang Yan didn't shirk at all, the look in Zhou Chen's eyes couldn't help but be filled with a touch of approval, he nodded and said; "Then there are two of them!"

Then, Zhou Chen turned around and left Fang City with the others, and rushed back towards the Shenhekou Pass.

The place where this mutual market is located is only about five miles away from the Shenhe Pass.

This distance is only a few moments at most for fast horses.

Even from the current Fang City to Youyu County, there is only an hour or so between the two.

Although it is already dusk, it is not too late, and everyone present can go back to Youyu County to rest for a night.

It will be enough for the people to return to this place at three o'clock tomorrow to hang a plaque for this mutual market.

Therefore, when Zhou Chen's words fell, most of the people present rushed back towards Youyu County, even Zhou Chen himself.

Only the two of them, Su Tong and Wang Yan, the chief bookkeeper, were left behind, and continued to conduct more detailed inspections for the current mutual market.

After all, tomorrow this mutual market will really hang a plaque and open it to the public, and in this important process, there is absolutely no room for the slightest accident or mistake.

Once there is any problem, Su Tong and Wang Yan, the two officials who supervise the creation, will definitely have to bear a lot of responsibility.
