Chapter 606: In the Side Set

Early the next morning, Yan Liqiang took Qian Su and Lu Wenbin to inspect the border collection in Yingwei County, although the border collection in Yingwei County was built by Yan Liqiang at the expense of Yan Liqiang, but it was the first time to inspect the border collection as a supervisor.

Bianji is the border market, that is, a large-scale commodity trading market, and the reason why such a market appeared in the Han Empire is that it is a convenient place for the Han Empire to trade with surrounding forces and countries.

Yingwei County's border set was first set up to facilitate trade with a few tribes and mountain people in Yulong Mountain, and it was Yan Liqiang's chess piece that fell early, at that time, the border set in Yingwei County was not lively, and waited until Yan Liqiang and Wang Jianbei drove out all the Shatu people in Pingxi City, and some of the Shatu people who stayed in Pingxi County were also driven to the side of Yingwei County, if the Shatu people want to continue to do business in Pingxi County, they must trade in the side set, after joining the Shatu people, the business of the border set in Yingwei County was also completely popular, and those merchants from all over the county and Ganzhou who used to like to do business with the Shatu people in Pingxi City, and then regathered in Yingwei County, and with it, the tax revenue of Yingwei County has also been rising, and with the development of Bianji, life is getting better and better.

When Yan Liqiang and his party came to the side market outside the county seat in the morning, the sun had already risen, and the entire side market had already started to open

Because he didn't want to make too much noise, Yan Liqiang's group was very low-key when they came to the border set, with a total of about 30 people, except for Yan Liqiang, Qian Su, Lu Wenbin and Fu Changde, the other guards only brought more than 20 people, and all of them were wearing civilian clothes, which was not eye-catching, because some wealthy businessmen and giants who came to the border set in Yingwei County carried a lot of gold and silver with them, and they had to escort the goods on the return trip, and they brought dozens of accompanying people.

"Haha, I didn't expect a steam mill to open here......" As soon as he came to the entrance of the Qianzimen in Bianji, Yan Liqiang saw a newly opened steam mill at the door of a shop at the entrance, there was a chimney on the mill, and the water and fire machine in the mill made a unique noise of running, and outside the mill, there were already many people lining up, and it seemed that there were a few aunts in the crowd in the queue, and a strange smell of spices wafted out of the mill.

"This is the fragrance of the grass fruit in Yulong Mountain!" Fu Changde sniffed, and immediately sniffed out the smell of the spices, which is a common condiment for cooking in the kitchen, "Yulong Mountain is rich in grass ding fruit, and it is cheap to buy grass ding fruit here, so many people in the surrounding area and the county will come here to buy grass ding fruit, and then grind it into powder and take it back, this mill has only been open for a few months, it used to be a stone mill, and now it has become this water and fire machine, and the grass ding fruit and the mill are sold in this market here, and it is quite profitable!"

"Those who come are guests, and this collection can be convenient for the people of Yingwei County, which is also good, so that the business can last for a long time!"

"What Childe said is true!" Lu Wenbin took over with a smile, "The people here come to buy things, although the amount they buy each time is not large, and they don't buy as much as those merchants at one time, but the trickle of water is long-lasting, and it is like this every day, but it should not be underestimated!"

"Exactly!"

As a few people spoke, they walked towards the side set,

There are eight gates in the whole side market, and the roads inside are eight horizontal and eight vertical, connected to each other, like a small town, on both sides of the road, there are large and small stalls and shops one after another, and every other distance, there is a well and something to extinguish the fire.

A few people just walked in a few steps, and saw a shop on the side of the road, which was selling grass and ding fruits, a merchant with a foreign accent, I don't know how many grass and ding fruits he bought, and directly asked people to move a sack of grass and ding fruit to a few four-wheeled carriages next to it.

At this time, the side set has already been lively, bustling, with various accents, merchants and guests wearing various costumes, just dawn has gathered here, began to deliver, pick goods, select goods, bargain, the side of the road in the side set, everywhere is parked four-wheeled freight carriages, a team of people wearing criminal uniforms are patrolling in the side set, very deterrent......

When the head catcher of the team saw Fu Changde, he was slightly stunned, obviously he had recognized Fu Changde, the head catcher just wanted to come over to say hello, and saw the eyes of Fu Changde handed over, and then looked at Fu Changde carefully accompanied a young man in front of a store to ask the price, the head catcher was smart, and finally remembered the news that he heard yesterday that the Lord Inspector had arrived in Yingwei County yesterday.

Several guards with big shoulders and round waists had already faintly surrounded them, and after hurriedly saluting Fu Changde quietly according to their heads, they continued to patrol the market with their subordinates.

After turning around for a while, Yan Liqiang and his party came to the bazaar allocated to the Shatu people.

Most of the things sold by the Shatu people in this market are similar to those sold in Pingxi City before, except that there is one thing, but they have not sold them in Pingxi City before - that is, wool!

In the stalls of the Shatu people, piles of wool, trapped and solid, were packed in huge sacks, and those Shatu people opened a little of the sack, revealing the snow-white wool inside, and they were selling.

Because of these wool, the business in front of these stalls of the Shatu people is very prosperous, almost the most prosperous and lively place in the entire side market, the four-wheeled carriages are parked here, the people who buy the wool are almost lined up to see the wool, many people are bargaining with the Shatu people, and those who have been successfully traded, they will take the bags of wool to weigh and pay.

"How much is this wool?" Yan Liqiang came to a stall of Shatu people with a lot of wool, reached out and touched the snow-white wool displayed on the stall, and asked.

Behind the stall was an old man with a gray beard and a cunning face, the old man glanced at Yan Liqiang and the person next to Yan Liqiang, and said directly, "Two coins of silver for a catty......

"So expensive?" Although he already knew the price of these wools, Yan Liqiang still made a look of surprise just right.

But in fact, the reason why the price of this wool has risen to this point like a rocket is that it is all driven by the price of wool cloth produced by the first factory in the world under Yan Liqiang, and now the most common wool cloth produced by the first factory in the world is ten zhang long, 28 kilograms, sold, the price is about 850 taels of silver, because wool cloth is in short supply, under the effect of the market law of scarcity and preciousness, the woolen cloth produced has been more valuable than the same weight of silver, and has become a symbol worn by rich people, which can make people crazy, even if it is not the wool cloth of the first factory in the world, the premium is not so high, as long as the quality is passed, the price of a woolen cloth is also about 500 taels of silver.

It is precisely under the stimulus of wool cloth profiteering that the price of wool, which is used to produce wool cloth, has risen to an incredible point, but even if the wool is bought at this price, once it is produced, it is several times the profiteering, which is the reason why it is in full swing here.

The concentrated wool and wool trade here is the object of Yan Liqiang's visit to Yingwei County with Qian Su and Lu Wenbin this time, and in the follow-up, Yan Liqiang has a complete set of plans, including the plan to make the seven departments of Shatu want to die.

"My wool here is white and cheap, and everywhere else, it's the same price!" said the old man with a shake of his head.

"This brother be careful, it's best not to buy wool from this old man in the sandstorm, the wool of this old man in the sandstorm will be deliberately mixed with sand, and it has been sprinkled with water, the wool is wet and the sand is a lot, if you want to buy it, you must finally shake off the wool and buy it to dry!"

A voice suddenly came from the side, Yan Liqiang turned his head, and saw a young man in his twenties, bright eyes, and a capable face standing next to him, and reminded himself in a low voice.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" The old man suddenly became angry, pointing at the young man who reminded Yan Liqiang of his words, his eyes were on fire, as if he wanted to kill someone, "Are you trying to make trouble ......", as he spoke, the old man was about to touch the scimitar next to him.

The young man looked at the old man with a cold face, sneered with his nose, held his head high, and looked at the irritable old man with a cold face, "It's not the past, and this is not Pingxi City, don't forget how you came here from Pingxi City, dare to move the knife here, I won't move here, you have the courage to move a hair of my hair......"

The old man panted, his fingers had already touched the handle of the knife, but he really didn't have the courage to pull out the knife again, and finally turned his mind, looked at the person and Yan Liqiang viciously, and waved his hand irritably, "You go, you go, I won't do your business anymore......"
