Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there is civilization, there are markets. Even if the immortals who suck wind and drink dew in the immortal cultivation novels get to the end, they have to make a centralized market to trade. Even if the metal currency is exchanged for spirit stones, or even the mode of barter, the essence of this exchange is inevitable.

Gu Chuan thought.

After all, it's still not free!

The caravan of concave merchants soon saw the outer city wall again, which had been renovated for an unknown amount of time. The guards of Sunset City were in a hurry because of the people who came and went. The prototype bicycle had been stowed away and buried under a wagon bag of grain.

"Wealth is not exposed, wealth is not exposed."

The concave merchant said to his guard with a smile.

The young people on the sidelines pouted in disbelief:

"It's not something he invented."

He'an and others were not very receptive to the new language taught by Gu Chuan, and they still couldn't read the literature recorded by Gu Chuan in Chinese. And because of the large number of people, it was difficult for Gu Chuan to communicate his thoughts with them completely.

They could only sit in the car and talk in a whisper.

Gu Chuan received the topic of the previous two days and continued:

"Speaking of apprentices, Riverbank, you told me that when a master apprentice dismissed you, you didn't know anything but that you would only be busy with them, so you should pay them, right?"

"That's ......"

At first, He'an didn't want to talk about his experience, but when he returned to the village, He'an said a lot, so that Gu Chuan learned about He'an's dismissal, including the remarks of the apprentice leader's expulsion.

"Do you think that's right?"

Gu Chuan asked mysteriously, making the people around him outside the river bank tremble.

This guy has asked questions like this many times! Every time he asked a rhetorical question like this, he had to start a long speech, Yuhua thought, strangely, I don't hate it either.

The riverbank said dumbfoundedly:

"The apprentice is right, I didn't do anything...... He didn't learn to heal, and he didn't save anyone...... It's not done well. They won't let me pay the tuition, and that's fine. ”

Gu Chuan laughed at this, laughed for a long time, felt a little sad, and said to him sullenly:

"Didn't you also do things like carrying urinals, pouring foot water, cleaning, and carrying goods?"

The river bank was still confused, and unconsciously defended: "But anyone can do this, and anyone can change it...... Even if it's not me, just find someone on the street! ”

Gu Chuan said coldly:

"Then you let them find people, hire people, and pay people to do it!"

He trembled and didn't know how to speak.

And Gu Chuan continued:

"All labor is valuable, no matter how high or low, some of it needs to be trained, and some of it no longer needs to be trained - we are learning to farm the land, we are all learning to saw, we are all learning to build a house - who can look down on whom? They think that carrying urinals, pouring foot water, cleaning, and carrying goods are all common things, so they should do it themselves! Shall they not be exhausted to death? Isn't that the truth? ”

"It seems like this......

He'an muttered, thinking of the apprentice pouring the urinal like him, he actually laughed stupidly, making Gu Chuan confused.

"Why are you laughing all of a sudden?"

"I don't know, it's just that I'm a little happy all of a sudden."

On the bright red water, the microwave is clear. In the shadow of the ancient mountains, people from all directions followed the path that had been trodden by generations to the most prosperous place in the region.

"This is the division of labor in society. I told you, what the merchant does is the circulation of goods, and if there is no merchant, it is true that the goods cannot be circulated. But assuming that there were no craftsmen and farmers, the goods would not exist! What's more, the original businessman is gone, and naturally there will be new people to become businessmen. There will always be someone to clean, there will always be someone to circulate goods, there will always be someone to farm, and there will always be someone to do carpentry, stone, and cast iron. Everything seems to be indispensable, just because of the monopoly, and no one has competed with it. Our parents thought that doctors had a high status, and that was because the doctors in Sunset City had a monopoly on the knowledge of doctors, so that those who knew nothing could not compete with them, and when anyone could learn doctors, it would become a mediocre profession. He's going to have to pay to buy people to clean up for them, not like these fools who are about to go into the city or us before us, who are about to pay for apprenticeships and chores. ”

He said.

"And that's the nature of tuition...... This is Sunset City taking advantage of something that only Sunset City has, and offering a high price. Because the life in Sunset City is good and the money is earned, the people in the villages in the radiation area of Sunset City will abandon their farm work and go to Sunset City to become their cheap labor. ”

The concave merchant met a friend of his on the way, and the whole caravan slowed down and merged with the other convoy. The wheels of the carriage made a loud noise on the crooked cobblestone road.

After a while, the young men suddenly heard a commotion.

I don't know where the people are shouting in the words:

"That's Sunset City's Sundial Tower!"

At first there was a call, then a common sound, and finally even the people of the convoy in the distance were drawn together, looking up at the towering sundial tower behind the city line.

Somehow, He'an, Shan Tao and the others suddenly could see their original selves on the faces of the same young people who didn't know which village or place they came from.

The convoy silently passed through the guards and entered the Xiayi district of the outer city.

"What will happen to them?"

Yuhua asked suddenly.

"They'll be just like us." "If you have a relationship and your parents take care of you, you will inquire about the factory or the employer who recruits apprentices, pay a tuition fee, or have no salary." If it doesn't matter, you'll see where the ad is and go there. At the beginning, Brother Kishi and I were deceived, what kind of medical engineering! It's just about finding a free sweep. The money for a serious sweep is even higher than that of our group of apprentices! ”

After finishing speaking, Hong Sha suddenly suddenly looked at Gu Chuan and couldn't help asking:

"This is Brother Chuan, what do you think?"

Gu Chuan nodded and said quietly:

"I don't know what you're guessing, but yes, this is where our opportunity lies. When the city meets the pebbles, we'll talk about it in detail. ”

Xiayi is close to Pingling inward, and is separated from the unfinished city wall outside. Since the city wall was not built, the lower city was connected to the outside of the city, and there were large tracts of farmland and the people who lived on it to feed the sunset city.

The matter of bicycles, the concave-faced businessman has already negotiated with Gu Chuan and the elders in Rizhao Village, and only needs to mention the matter of the notary office here.

After the caravan entered the city, it went to the official notary office outside Pingling District as soon as possible.

The notary office is a place dedicated to the deed in Sunset City, which is directly managed by the Inner City Council. There is also a so-called "handling fee" for signing a contract, which is a "Shiren" and "Qianshu" who need a small amount of money to pay to the notary office.

"Witnesses" generally refer to "witnesses" who were bystanders who witnessed the signing of the contract at that time, mainly witnesses from the notary office.

As for "Qianshu", it is a third-party writer who writes the contract.

The contract of Sunset City is like this, and at the bottom of the contract, it is agreed that after both parties have signed their names, the witness and the third-party author also need to sign in person.

In addition, there is also a name called "seeing people" or "seeing people from time to time", which also refers to those who witness and testify, but the people who see them are not the personnel of the notary office, but those who are bored or have nothing to do, and come to the notary office to watch the excitement. Every notary office notarization, there may be one party who borrows money to go bankrupt, and the partnership business overturns, and finally relies on the notary office's documents to successfully sue is not uncommon, and there are many people who are willing to come to see the excitement to testify.

At that time, there were many idlers in the notary office, staring at the two newcomers.

There is also a fee for the Sunset City contract. It's just that Sunset City hasn't formed an understanding of the contract fee yet, after all, the so-called contract is not its own business. A dollar contract is the same as a million dollar contract – it is charged by the number of words.

At best, the latter will make onlookers look shocked.

“…… One million each, ...... color change coins"

According to the draft provided by Gu Chuan, when it was written that these two people each invested one million chameleon coins in technology and assets on behalf of Rizhao Village and a small family blessed by the Shendi family, the hands of this third-party Qianshu were trembling.

"You're going to ruin the village, go all out! Have you already determined that you have a million fortunes with each other? ”

At that time, the third party Qianshu was only surprised and terrified.

Since two people confirm to each other that they have millions of family assets to mortgage, then I am afraid that it is. Suppose that one of these two people does not have one, then wait until the notary public documents are sent to the tribunal to take effect...... A million, a million...... This other party shall not pay compensation to the descendants of all generations to be slaves?

Qianshu thought to herself, naturally she wouldn't have thought that this would have anything to do with her. He had already seen dozens of stupid people who had been sentenced in the Inquisition for his notarized sentences. Even though some people may inexplicably hate this witness, he is an employee of the council and is protected.

"Indefinitely."

The concave-faced merchant nodded.

The concave-faced businessmen are not afraid, Gu Chuan's plan has already been secretly decided, so naturally he is even more afraid.

"It's confirmed."

"Well, write it down, and you will have no regrets."

As for the 200 copies of the coupons, it was also simple, and the notary office had done similar work for the issuance of 100,000 copies of the odd coupons, and there were not a few cooperation that followed the example of the coupons.

"Of course there are no regrets."

As the words fell, the entire notary office was in an uproar, and several witnesses who were officially dedicated to witnessing couldn't help but shout: "This is ...... Bankrupt millions of joint ventures! Don't you have a way back? Do you believe that you are not related to each other? ”

The unofficial time was even more excited. This group of idlers had nothing to do, so they discussed loudly at the door, so the news spread faster and faster, and attracted more and more people, until a large area of Pingling Street was sensational, and the surrounding interested onlookers surrounded the notary office.

The craftsmen of Rizhao Village, as well as the nephews and long-term workers of the concave-faced businessmen, all stood at the door at that time, acting as bystanders of the non-notary office.

"These million color-changing stone coins are piled up, and they all have to be a small mountain, right?"

"Some of them are assets to pay off debts, not so much, even houses and land! How can there really be so much money. ”

Changgong Jiujin explained.

That's what the concave-faced merchant said to Jiujin, so Jiujin was convinced.

"That's true...... One million chameleon coins, this has to be all the assets of your citizen family, right? Your boss is all going to bet on this 'bicycle' business? ”

"Yes."

There was no news about Jiujin, and more people asked the border people in the village, they knew that some villages were extremely rich, such as the rubber production village, but they didn't know that Rizhao Village could be so rich:

"How many people in your village have to contribute all the money, and you have to count all the houses to make it up, right?"

The carpenter and the others had also communicated with Gu Chuan a long time ago, and they didn't talk much, but the bull head nodded not to the horse's mouth:

"It's already set, it's all said!"

At this time, the impact was still limited to the area around the notary office, and it was still not fermented, but it could already be seen that the two million born out of thin air were about to be spread by word of mouth and become a big news in the Pingling neighborhood of Sunset City.

As for bicycles, the name of this quirky business also began to spread in people's mouths, and it became more and more mysterious.

In order to prevent interference from both sides of the contract, the group of bystanders were stopped outside. There are only Shi Witnesses, concave-faced merchants, Gu Chuan and Qianshu in it.

The more noisy it was outside, the more beneficial it would be to Gu Chuan's plan. He laughed and said:

"I hear them all talking about the power of the bike or not."

"Isn't it?"

The concave-faced merchant was probably also inspired that day and went down the slope.

Gu Chuan was intimidated by this old guy's remarks. What does this bicycle have to do with strange things! But he quickly entered the play, shook his head and said:

"But boss, it's always bad to be guessed so easily."

When the concave-faced merchant heard this, his gaze at Gu Chuan was different, and he couldn't help but curse the little fox in his heart.

Gu Chuan's old god is here, like an innocent teenager.

Qianshu didn't care about the conversation between the two people, only submitted the paperwork, and asked the two of them if they still had questions?

Gu Chuan and the concave-faced merchant each looked at it carefully, and there was no problem with Qi Dao.

"Those two, you can sign it. In triplicate, each page must be signed, and the name of the rider must be signed. The name of the ride sewing and the last page should be drawn. ”

Riding a sewing signature, a bit like a teacher asking a primary school student to sign a dictionary and sign it on the side to confirm the ownership of the dictionary. The signature of the notary office requires that each page be slightly missed, so that a part of the handwriting can be seen on the edge of each page, and the name is pieced together. The purpose of the signature is to ensure that certain sheets of the plural paper of a document are not repacked or removed.

"Absolutely."

Not to mention hundreds of names, even if it is thousands of names, the two people who have come this far will naturally sign it.

Suddenly, the notary office became a signature assembly line.

After the two witnesses and Qian finished signing, the notary office asked who else wanted to witness according to the previous procedure. People who came to see the blockbuster said they wanted to sign it. Gu Chuan glanced through the crowd to find a carpenter. As a result, in the midst of the noise, the carpenter beckoned and said loudly:

"I can't get in, I can't get in!"

It turned out that the original time of Gu Chuan and the concave-faced merchant, that is, the carpenter, the long-term nine-jin and the nephew of the concave-faced merchant, were all squeezed outside by the people who watched the excitement.

"Forget it, forget it!" Gu Chuan shouted.

The notary office is no surprise.

The more money is involved, the more people want to see the excitement. When the Shendi family issued strange coupons, passed the council, and called the inner city notary office to issue a new system of strange coupons, that group of citizens also had to surround themselves.

In the end, the notary office randomly selected a few inconsequential bystanders to sign, even if the whole process was over. By the end of the day, it was nightfall in Sunset City and the notary office was about to close. In the evening, the people who were watching the excitement gradually dispersed with the news.

"Please check it out."

After Gu Chuan and the concave-faced merchant confirmed that they were correct, Qianshu said:

"Then this notarization of the contract is over."

He and his scribe got up, and the concave merchant cheerfully gave a tip.

The two then walked through the back door of the notary office to avoid the crowd.

The concave-faced businessman was in an excited mood and didn't stay much. The craftsmen of Rizhao Village also went with the concave face merchant to conspire with him.

So only eight of the ten young men who had entered the city at first, along with their father the pebble carpenter, rushed to the rented house. It was so deep at night that I couldn't see the sundial clearly. The carpenter opened the door and stopped abruptly. Gu Chuan behind him clearly saw that the pebbles in the rented house were stuffing himself in the quilt, and no one could see what he was doing in the quilt, only to see the quilt agitating and twitching up and down for a while before poking out a satisfied head, and then showing a frightened expression to the person at the door.

He looked like a poor puppy when he saw the carpenter.

"Dad!"

"What the are you going to do again!"

The carpenter slapped his face, and the pebbles trembled. The caravan came together, so naturally it was impossible to trust the letter in advance, and Pebble would have thought that there would be a father to check the post.

The boys burst out laughing, while the girls blushed and spat out, and hurried out the door.
