Lantian County is now a prosperous place, the whole Shaanxi catastrophe, all places are not living, only Lantian County, the land is rich, the people live in peace, and absorb Chang'an County, Zhashui County, Shangluo County after part of the territory, the land area is also much larger, absorbing more population, now Lantian has a population, 300,000.

With a population of 300,000 people, and the most important thing is that Lantian has surplus rations, those who have studied economics know that as long as there is a surplus of rations, business will be derived, so some small traders came to Lantian County and began to do business, which made Lantian economy have been greatly developed.

Not to mention anything else, even the largest restaurant in Xi'an, Yuxian Building, has to open a branch in Lantian, which can see some clues.

Li Chaosheng was followed by Gu Zi at this time, and there were five guards, walking on the streets of Lantian County, which was empty in the past, and now there are more and more people, especially the hawkers who come and go, and the sound of selling continues, making the whole street become lively.

Li Chaosheng and Gu Zi changed into their usual casual clothes at this time, and when they walked on the street, no one could recognize Li Chaosheng as a county honor.

"Come, don't miss it, the home-grown radish is sweet and crispy, and it is delicious."

"Come on, big plums in Languan Town, it's very sweet, it's very sweet."

"Cookbread, cookbread, hot big cookbread, sir, shall I have a cookbread?"

The peddler saw Li Chaosheng at this time, and Li Chaosheng smiled when he heard this: "Okay, try your craftsmanship." ”

Li Chaosheng looked at the man in front of him who was one meter five and said, the man hurriedly picked up the cooking cake and gave it to Li Chaosheng, and Li Chaosheng took it and gave one to the guards.

Then he asked the vendor, "How much does the cooking cake cost now?" ”

"Ten cents a piece."

The peddler said happily, and after hearing this, Li Chaosheng was stunned and said, "Ten cents? So expensive? ”

"Is this still expensive? Mr. has never been out of Lantian. ”

The peddler looked at Li Chaosheng and said, Li Chaosheng nodded when he heard this, "I haven't been out." ”

At this time, the vendor took a cooking cake and gestured: "The cooking cake sold outside is smaller than ours, guess how much?" ”

Li Chaosheng looked at the hawker very cooperatively and said, "How much?" ”

The vendor stretched out two fingers and said, "Twenty Wen, I can't buy it yet." ”

Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Zi, and Gu Zi shrugged: "I haven't gone out either." ”

"Really sir, don't believe it, this is our Lantian County, other counties, ten cents a cookcake, that's crazy, these days, money is not money, food is expensive."

The peddler said, Li Chaosheng looked at the peddler when he heard this, and said, "There is such a shortage of cooking cakes in other counties, why don't you go to other places to buy them?" ”

Hearing this, the peddler smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, aren't you kidding? Other places have eaten people, I'll push a cart to go to other places, I'm afraid that even people with cakes will be given to Hades, or our Lantian County is good, thank you to the county lord. ”

The peddler said with his hands folded, and bowed sincerely to the direction of the county government, Li Chaosheng looked confused, looked at the smiling Gu Zi on the side and said, "What is he doing here?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Zi said with a smile: "I don't know who said that the county lord is a heavenly immortal descending to earth, Pudu sentient beings, and now the people of the county will bow to the county government if they have nothing to do, as if the county zun can really use his magic power to bless them." ”

"Forehead ......"

Li Chaosheng looked stunned when he heard this, but he quickly reacted, looked at Gu Zi and said, "Yang Shubai's handwriting? ”

Hearing this, Gu Zi smiled: "It seems that the great monk of the circular machine also participated." ”

"These two goods."

Li Chaosheng scolded with a smile: "Mythical leader, this has always been Yang Shubai's main job, and now with the help of the great monk of the circular machine, this is not one plus one equals two, but equal to four, equal to one hundred."

Li Chaosheng looked at the vendor after worshipping, so he said with a smile: "By the way, where did you get the food to make cooking cakes?" ”

"The county is honored."

Li Chaosheng was stunned for a moment, then looked at Gu Zi, and Gu Zi explained: "A few days ago, didn't you implement the food stamp policy? You said that in addition to leaving rations, each household can also give each household a grain stamp of half a catty of grain every day, and use this food stamp to buy cheap grain from the county government treasury. ”

Li Chaosheng heard this and remembered that this was also an important measure for Li Chaosheng to promote the commercial development of Lantian County.

Now the people of Shaanxi Province are short of food, and the trade of this grain cannot be directly opened, otherwise the grain depot in Lantian County will be hollowed out, so Li Chaosheng decided to make a batch of grain stamps, the grain stamps are very small, Li Chaosheng found a printing factory to customize, using the kind of oily paper used to print advertisements, in order to prevent counterfeiting.

That kind of paper is difficult to make with the counterfeiting methods of the Ming Dynasty, after all, it is the product of modern industrialization, so so far no fraud has been found.

The people of Lantian County can go to the reservoir to work, or help the government to do conscription, to get food stamps, and after having food stamps, they can use money to buy grain in the government treasury.

And some smart people in the people will go to buy food stamps from people who have food stamps, and the method is also very simple, they need money to go to the government to buy food with food stamps, and they directly use grain to buy food stamps.

For example, if they exchange four taels of grain for a pound of food stamps, they can exchange the food stamps for four taels of grain, and the other party also has food.

There are also people who want to sell it for money, but the price is ridiculously high, so they usually exchange grain for food stamps.

However, this may create opportunities for illegal traders, for example, illegal traders will find ways to swallow grain stamps on a large scale and want to short the grain in the Lantian Treasury, but this Li Chaosheng also has a way to deal with it, and the simplest thing is to restrict purchases.

For example, each person can exchange up to two catties of grain per day, and if it exceeds five catties, it must be witnessed by fellow villagers, and if it exceeds fifty catties, it will not be exchanged.

This makes merchants who want to store grain on a large scale helpless, after all, this restriction is too dead.

Li Chaosheng's aim was to exchange many times, and exchange a little less each time, so as to prevent the accumulation of grain, so that the big businessmen could take advantage of the loopholes.

Li Chaosheng encouraged small traders and hawkers, but he was wary of big businessmen who wanted to make grain, because these guys were harmful to the people, and Li Chaosheng had always severely cracked down on such bad elements.

Li Chaosheng ate the baked cakes and tasted good, and then chatted with the seller of the baked cakes.

"Where's my brother?"

When the elder brother heard this, he said, "I am from Baishui County. ”

"Baishui County, the hometown of the second thief Kou Wang?"

When the elder brother heard this, he said, "Yes, that's it." ”

Li Chaosheng heard this and said, "I heard that the big thief led the people to kill officials and live a good life, why didn't you go?" ”

When the elder brother heard this, he said; "Sir, do you believe that?"

Li Chaosheng was stunned when he heard this: "What do you say? ”

The man who bought the cooking bread said, "This thief is a thief, what a good life there is, he eats one place after another, and wherever he goes, there is no way out after following them." ”

Li Chaosheng was stunned for a moment and said: "I heard that they all drink wine and eat meat in big bowls when they get there, don't you envy such a day?" ”

The person who bought the cooking cake shook his head and said: "I don't envy, as the saying goes, I saw the thief eating meat, but I didn't see the thief being beaten. ”

"Besides, when the thieves have any interest, rob here and there every day, although our Baishui County was poor before, there was still a little bit of good land, and crops could grow, but after Wang Er, they had a disaster, and this year there are countless grains, and large areas of crops are abandoned and no one cultivates them, which is evil."

"There can catch up with our Lantian County now, the crops are planted at home, and the rent is very cheap, the landlord only collects thirty percent of the rent this year, seventy percent is ours, after the autumn harvest, leave enough grain, and the rest can be sold to the county government for some money, and then buy some wine and meat, such a life is a human life, down-to-earth."

The seller of cooking cakes looked at Li Chaosheng and said, Li Chaosheng heard this and stuffed the last cooking cake into his mouth and said: "The cooking cake tastes good, is my brother interested in making your cooking cake stall bigger and building a cooking cake shop or something?" ”

Hearing this, the old brother was stunned and said: "I think, but I don't have the capital, I can make a capital by saving for another three or four years, and then I will open a small shop." ”

Li Chaosheng smiled when he heard this: "Haha, okay, Guzi, take ten taels of silver out, this money is my share, how about we partner to open a cooking cake shop?" ”

"Ah, so much silver, this ......"

The face of the person who bought the cooking cake was shocked, Li Chaosheng looked at the person who bought the cooking cake with a smile and said: "Let's make a document now, I will invest in your cooking cake stall with ten taels of silver, expand it into a cooking cake shop, I will take ten taels of silver to account for thirty percent of the shares, and you will share seventy percent, and give me a share at the end of the next year." ”

Hearing this, the cookcake seller was stunned and looked at Li Chaosheng's signature.

"Li Chaosheng, county, county lord!"

The seller of cooking cakes immediately had to kneel, and the seller of cooking cakes could not read, but he knew Li Chaosheng's three words, because this was exactly the same as the words on the notice in the county seat.

Those of them who do business often see notices, and after reading them for a long time, these three words are firmly remembered in their hearts, after all, they are mixed in Lantian and don't know these three words.

Seeing this, Li Chaosheng stopped the cookcake seller and said, "What are you doing, let's talk about business, what is the matter if you kneel down." ”

Hearing this, the cookcake seller said: "What is the identity of the villain, how can he do business with the county lord, the lord has tormented the villain, the county lord quickly took back the money, and the villain's cake stall also belongs to the adult." ”

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng frowned and said, "Nonsense, what are you doing to me like this?" A corrupt and corrupt official? I really do business with you, not only you, I have a stake in most of the businesses in Lantian County, there are roasted sweet potatoes that sell roasted sweet potatoes, there are roasted corn sellers, and there are noodles and mutton soup, I have shares, so you don't have to worry about anything. ”

"County, county lord, I don't dare to agree to this deal like this, if this is profitable, it will be easy to do, but if I lose, what will I pay to the county lord."

Buying cooking cakes was sincerely afraid, Li Chaosheng smiled at this time and pointed to the document and said: "This is called venture capital, this document says that if you lose money, even if you lose it, even if it is the county's respect, you will earn us three or seven points, you seven, and I will three." ”

"Ah, this, how can you be three and I seven, it should be three, you are seven."

The seller of cooking cakes said, and after hearing this, Li Chaosheng shook his head and said: "No, no, no, I just pay the money, you are specifically responsible, this ratio is so determined, you are seven, I am three, you see if it will work." ”

Li Chaosheng smiled and said to the cookcake seller, and after hearing this, the cookcake seller wanted to say something, but the grain on the side was impatient: "Okay, okay, you are too abrasive, our brigade commander can still harm you, you sign it quickly, we have to take a look forward." ”

"Millet."

Li Chaosheng glared at Gu Zi, Gu Zi took a step back, this is the cooking cake seller gritted his teeth and said: "Cheng, since the county lord can afford me, I can't ignore the lift, I signed this document." ”

The seller of cooking cakes said, then pointed to the clerk and said, "My lord, I can't read, shall we follow the handprint?" ”

"How do you know my name if you don't know how to read?" Li Chaosheng looked at the cooker in confusion.

The cookcake seller said embarrassedly: "I know the name of the adult, and I don't know anything else." ”

Hearing this, Li Chaosheng was stunned for a moment, looked at Gu Zi and said, "You come to help this brother write his name." ”

Li Chaosheng said, at this time, Gu Zi picked up the pen, looked at the cookcake seller and said, "What's your name?" ”

"Wu Song."

The seller of cooking cakes opened his mouth and said that Li Chaosheng had just picked up the water hyacinth and drank saliva at this time, but when he heard the name poof, he almost choked to death with a mouthful of water.

"What's your name?"

"Wu Song, does the county lord know me?"

"Wu Song? Your home can't be from Yanggu County, Shandong, right? ”

Hearing this, Wu Song shook his head and said: "Our ancestors have been from Baishui for generations, and now we are from Lantian, and we have never been to Shandong." ”

"Oh, and is your daughter-in-law's surname Pan?"

Wu Song shook his head and said, "I, I'm a single person, and I don't have a daughter-in-law." ”

"Oh, that's fine, press the mudra."

Li Chaosheng said, after hearing this, Wu Song nodded, pressed the handprint, Li Chaosheng asked Gu Zi to put away the note, and continued to walk with Gu Zi, but just before leaving, Li Chaosheng paused, looked at Wu Song, who was about one meter and a half, and said: "That, marry a daughter-in-law in the future, don't look for the surname Pan." ”

"Huh?"

Wu Song looked at Li Chaosheng stupidly, Li Chaosheng waved his hand and stopped answering, this thing feels very metaphysical.

Gu Zi followed behind Li Chaosheng and said, "Brigade commander, why can't he marry a daughter-in-law surnamed Pan?" ”

"Haven't you seen the Water Margin?"

Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Zi, Gu Zi shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it." ”

Li Chaosheng thought about it, the Water Margin was written by Shi Nai'an, and it was written in the early Ming Dynasty, but with the illiteracy rate of the Ming Dynasty, there must not be many people who have read this book, especially Gu Zi didn't know the big characters before he knew himself, how could he have read this book.

Li Chaosheng thought and said, "It's okay, I'll find a copy for you when I have time." ”

Hearing this, Gu Zi said: "By the way, brigade commander, this note? ”

Li Chaosheng heard this and said, "Go back to the Ministry of Commerce and ask them to file this note." ”

"Yes, Brigadier Commander, but Brigadier Commander, what do you keep giving money to these petty trades?"

Li Chaosheng looked at Gu Zi and said, "You don't understand, this is called venture capital, and you can make a fortune." ”

"This, what a fortune can this make."

Gu Zi frowned and said, Li Chaosheng glanced at Gu Zi and said with a smile: "Gu Zi, doing business is the same as doing business, you have to take a long-term view, let me tell you about a company called Emperor Penguin, how it monopolizes the market, it is said that there was an Emperor Penguin back then, and he wanted to invest in all start-up companies......
