Leaving the convenience store, the two continued to go deeper.

At this point, the frequency of Xu Jiajun's appearance has become significantly higher, and they wear various colored straps on their wrists, one color represents a function.

The red ones are responsible for security patrols, the green ones are responsible for the cars and horses coming and going on the streets, and the blue ones are responsible for maintaining order for the street vendors in the market.

Under the jurisdiction of Xu Jiajun, itinerant traders were also well managed, and on the commercial street, there was another alley where the vendors set up their stalls alone, and in this alley, there were farmers from the surrounding villages who came to sell fruits and vegetables, and hunters who hunted their prey.

A woman in the city dressed in a four-bag pack from Xujiazhuang came to buy vegetables with a basket, and the vegetable vendor was an old man over half a hundred years old, leading a grandson who was eight or nine years old.

The woman picked a handful of vegetables and handed them to the old man to weigh.

Weigh?

Qi Zhou looked at it strangely.

In the county seat of Zhuo County, there are very few weighings, and they are generally calculated by shares, because the peasants are illiterate, and they can't read and count, and they don't know how to do arithmetic.

Because of this, he has seen too many scenes of peasants who are deceived by cunning guests because they do not know how to calculate, and they crouch in the corner and cry hopelessly.

When he first saw it, he couldn't bear it, but after seeing more of it, he knew that this was the norm, nothing worth noting, and who made these peasants too stupid.

However, the farmers here in Xu Jiajun seem to be different.

The old man did not know how to count, but the little grandson he brought was very skillful in holding the handful of dishes, ran to a pavilion guarded by the Xu family, and shouted affectionately:

"Fellow Daoist, help weigh it."

Daoist, Taoist friend? What a strange name!

Qi Zhou glanced at Xu Da suspiciously, Xu Da looked at the cute child with satisfaction, and explained: "Like-minded people are all Taoist friends. ”

The grandfather and grandson of the vegetable vendor could not afford to buy the scale, so they took it to the public weighing booth to weigh it.

The woman who bought the vegetables trusted Xu Jiajun's claim very much, the child said how much it weighed, and skillfully calculated the price, the woman corresponded to the price, and then settled the chips happily.

A deal is so simple.

"That's credit." Xu Dawei explained, stunned Qi Zhou.

Qi Zhou looked at the wooden chip in the child's hand, and no longer dared to treat this wooden chip as a worthless piece of wood.

Because in the eyes of these Yuyang people, the value of this chip is equivalent to gold and silver.

As the saying goes, the layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway, Qi Zhou happened to have some research on the monetary system of Qingguo.

At this moment, seeing Xu Jiajun's own wooden chips so successful, a strong sense of crisis suddenly rose in his heart.

Once Xu Jiajun established the concept of 'credit' among the people, then no matter whether the Xu family issued five baht money or leaf wood chips, in the eyes of the people, it was a thing.

And once the people no longer use the five-baht money issued by Qingguo, it will pose a huge threat to the economy of the entire Qingguo.

Because, when the money hoarded in the treasury is no longer money, then the dynasty will also collapse.

Of course, this possibility is small, and the biggest possibility is that the value of the foreseeable decrease, and the already unstable five-baht dollar becomes less valuable.

Once Xu Jiajun is allowed to open the plate widely, Zhuo County, which is close at hand, will become dangerous!

At that time, the Xu family can even successfully assimilate Zhuojun without spending a single soldier!

No wonder he didn't see people trading in the Xu family's bazaar, it turned out that in the territory of the Xu family, cloth, the 'payment currency' with the most stable external value, no longer has monetary attributes.

In Yuyang County, cloth is only used to make clothes and bedding, and it is no longer valuable.

Because the price of the cloth sold in Xujiazhuang is really outrageously cheap.

Qi Zhou didn't see a single unclothed person on the streets of Beicheng, just because the Xu family only needed fifty yuan for a set of linen clothes.

Now the people of the city can earn at least 20 yuan a day for their work, but in three days they can put on a complete set of new clothes.

As a result, the value of the cloth has been so low that it is not as good as the wooden chips. At least under Xu Jiajun, this is the reality.

The more Qi Zhou looked at it, the more frightened he became, and when he saw the braised meat shop selling loose meat, he took the initiative to ask Xu Da to invite him to eat a braised pig into the water, and then there was a storm in his heart.

This brine contains a variety of precious spices!

No, it's not just the spices, it's the source of the pig's sewerage, which looks like it's not just the stuff from one pig, it's the stuff from several pigs.

Of course, the most expensive chicken and duck meat are the most expensive.

At first glance, I don't think there is anything, but if you think about it carefully, you can know that the entire Yuyang County can digest at least three pigs, 30 chickens, and 40 ducks in one day.

What made Qi Zhou feel the most was that so much meat could be sold out in half a morning. The people in Yuyang County are so rich?

If this is placed in Zhuo County, it would be good for the butcher to sell two pigs a day, and chickens and ducks are almost impossible to see on the market, because ordinary people can't afford to eat them, and it is already a luxury to buy pork once in a while.

Qi Zhou swallowed a braised duck intestine while looking at the dense flow of people on the street, and asked Xu Da tentatively:

"Gong Xu, there should be four or five thousand people in this Yuyang County, right?"

The Xu family will not hide the results of their operation at all, but they are afraid that outsiders will not know and be unclear.

Xu Da smiled and nodded, "Almost, there are still a lot fewer people who have been busy harvesting rice and entering the city recently, and at the peak, there should be more than 6,000 people." ”

"With the construction of this road, the time for the big guys to enter the city has been shortened, and some villagers will come from the village 30 miles away for this bite of braised pork."

Suddenly, Qi Zhou felt that the duck intestine in his mouth was tasteless, and forced himself to swallow it like chewing wax.

The two of them passed by the health center, and the two-story building was not common in the old capital of Luoyang, let alone a small Yuyang county?

Qi Zhou couldn't help but look at it two more times, and was immediately blinded by the rows of glass windows on the first floor.

He hurriedly raised his hand to cover his eyebrows, and then he felt that his eyes felt better.

"It turns out that glass is so worthless in Yuyang County?" Qi Zhou gritted his teeth and looked at Xu Daqiu and asked.

Because it was hard not to remind him of the set of glass vases he had bought from Xu Da after spending a few carts of silk.

Now that I think about it, he Qi Zhou is really a big wrong! Take other people's waste materials as treasures and offer them in the ancestral hall of the ancestors!

As soon as Xu Da saw Qi Zhou's expression, he knew that this guy had already reacted that he had done a big wrong, of course he would not expose the truth so cruelly, and hurriedly reassured:

"The cost of glass is extremely high, and it is only because this is a health center, so it is luxuriously used, after all, it is a matter of human life here, and it cannot be sloppy."

Hearing Xu Da's explanation, Qi Zhou's heart finally felt better.

It's just that when he saw that the people who entered and exited the health center were not high-ranking officials and nobles, but the original low-level peasants, Qi Zhou's expression became very subtle.
