In the past, when it was windy and rainy, the open-air market would be closed, and if it snowed, it would be even more troublesome.

Even if the merchants insist on setting up their stalls, consumers will not come to the market at all.

But now that we have a department store, we have moved the trading place indoors, so we don't have to worry about wind and rain anymore.

And as a result, more consumers like to visit indoor shopping malls.

The most important thing is this kind of indoor shopping mall, which is very clearly zoned.

Eating and drinking souvenirs are on the first floor, and all kinds of leather goods and clothing are on the second floor.

The third floor is a variety of knives, metal tools, etc., and the fourth floor is a variety of medicinal herbs, wood, local specialties, etc.

On the fifth floor is the specialty dining center, which is a building with very clear zoning.

It allows people to directly find the products they want as soon as they come, which also greatly improves the efficiency of transactions.

Therefore, this department store has been extremely popular since it began to attract investment.

It took less than half a month for all the shops and booths to be sold out.

And since it opened, the mall has been a crowded scene.

Almost all merchants from the north and south will go to this mall for a stroll.

There are even some powerful vendors, after discovering the potential here, who even spend a lot of money to buy the shops here from the original stall owners.

If you really can't buy it, you can rent it for money!

Because everyone has discovered the benefits of this mall this time, although the taxes and management fees to be paid every day are not low.

But for these vendors, they prefer the atmosphere.

Because here, first of all, the environment is good, and there is no need to be exposed to the sun and rain in the open-air market.

Even in winter, the mall has central heating, which ensures that you can complete the transaction in a comfortable environment.

The second is that it is clean and hygienic, because the decoration is high-grade.

And there is also a special cleaning every day to clean the aisles and public toilets outside.

This makes this place seem extraordinarily standardized, such an environment, absolutely nowhere else.

And with the gradual rise of Qianshan City, the number of merchants coming and going from the south to the north here continues to increase.

Everyone brought goods from their hometowns, and it became a distribution center for goods from the north to the south and the east and west.

Here, you can not only retail to the local people, but also wholesale to customers in other regions.

This greatly improves the efficiency of transactions, which is why it is so.

Many merchants from the Sixteen Cities of Yanyun and the merchants of Nanyun Kingdom who had discovered business opportunities rented stalls here to sell their local specialties.

Recently, even some customers from the Western Regions have stopped here and rented stalls to expand their business.

And these people not only found the benefits of this mall, but also many people are very optimistic about the future development of Qianshan City.

There are also many merchants who spend a lot of money in this Qianshan New Town to buy homesteads in the city.

Intend to settle here......

It is precisely because Qianshan City is now becoming more and more famous, and its attraction to the outside world is also getting stronger and stronger.

More and more people are moving into the Thousand Mountains City......

For example, the last time Yang Yinuan crossed back to Blue Star, the population of Qianshan City was only more than 60,000 people.

Among them, about 30,000 belong to the captured prisoners.

These captives have to go through a period of time for their husbands to be reformed before they can obtain the status of free citizens of Thousand Mountain City.

However, in recent times, with the influx of a large number of displaced people and merchants, the population of Qianshan City has increased to 100,000.

For these people, Qianshan City has also introduced a strict household registration management system.

An ordinary outcast, who wants to become a free citizen of Thousand Mountains City.

Then you first have to work for the city lord for ten years for free!

At that time, the decade was not really free, first of all, food and shelter, and then there would be a minimum wage every month.

Then if you have children, your children can enter the public school in Thousand Hills City for free.

Reading to the sixth grade of primary school, then there will be an exam.

Gifted children are selected for secondary school, where they receive systematic training in different subjects.

And after these people have completed their studies, they will become accountants, petty officials, etc., junior managers.

Those who are not selected will be apprenticed to various factories......

Then wait until 10 years later, as long as you are doing well within those 10 years and have not committed adultery.

Then you can get the Certificate of Good Citizenship and become a free citizen of Thousand Mountains City.

Of course, after becoming a freedman, you have to work hard and save enough money to settle down in the city.

After all, houses in this city are not cheap.

If you can't afford to buy a home, you can apply for low-cost housing, but the number of places available is quite limited.

As for those who are rich, no matter where you come from, you can choose the path of investment immigration and become a free citizen of Thousand Mountains City.

The so-called investment immigration means that you take out a sum of money to buy status, or invest in the local business to start a business, and after paying a certain amount of taxes for several consecutive years, you can obtain local status.

The other is skilled immigration.

If you are an ordinary person, you don't have as much money as a rich businessman, and you don't want to be a laborer for ten years like a homeless person.

Then you can apply for skilled immigration to obtain the status of Thousand Hills City.

But only if you have real skills, which is carpentry, blacksmithing, or any other kind of craft.

As long as your skills can be recognized, then you can apply for skilled migration.

And skilled immigrants are quite popular in Qianshan City.

Of course, if you don't have any of these, you still want to get the status of a free citizen in Thousand Mountain City.

Then there is one last way, that is, you go to Qixingzhai to join the army.

Now on the side of Qixingzhai, Lord Grande is training the new Thousand Mountains Army.

The new Thousand Mountains Army only has a total of 5,000 regular soldiers, but once you can become a regular soldier.

That would be the time you were in the safe for the rest of your life.

Food, drink and Lazar are all reimbursed, and if you die in battle, you can also enjoy a generous pension.

This is simply unimaginable in other regions.

Of course, the assessment of the Qianshan Army is also very strict, and it is difficult for most people who go to join the army to pass at the first time.

So most of them ended up being the baggage army of the Thousand Mountains Army.

To put it bluntly, it is an auxiliary army, and when the regular army fights, it is responsible for some auxiliary work.

Of course, after a few years of work, there is always a chance to get the status of a regular army.

Of course, if you want to ask, is it worth it if you want to mix the identity of a thousand mountain cities with such hard work?

Many people who have obtained the status of a free citizen in Thousand Mountains City will tell you: it's worth it! It's well worth it!

Because this city can be said to be the most friendly city to ordinary people in the north, and even on the Aurora continent!
