On the night of the second day of the new year, I still couldn't see the moon, but I could see the bright stars in the sky through the window.

A few plates of mosquito coils burned slowly not far away, and the view of the pier from this side was the same as from the pier, and the lights were lit along the way.

In this way, there is no room where the room is bright and the outside is dark, and the outside cannot be seen from the inside.

There was a boat carrying a lantern that had just passed west with the east, apparently coming out of Nanjing, either to be Tu or to Wuhu to wait.

At night, you can't continue to walk the Yangtze River, and after Wuhu and continue to go upstream, you will soon encounter a position that needs to be pulled.

It's called the mouth of the water, and it's a ghost gate.

Li Xin did come to Xiaqiu Village for the first time, and he had only heard many things about Xiaqiu Village, and the most intuitive feeling was...... Rich!

He sniffed: "The mosquito coils used are the same as those used in the library?" ”

"It's done in one place, with wormwood and other Asteraceae artemisia, which contain pyrethroids, which are essential for ...... Drink! ”

Xiao Qi introduced casually, and saw that the other party's eyes were full of confusion, so he picked up the wine glass.

Li Xin took a sip of wine and asked, "Mugwort is about to be picked, right?" ”

"I can pick it now, and it's good to cook. The best time to use it medicinally is from the end of April to the fifth day of May.

At that time, the village will organize manpower, and you will be responsible for the storage of points, and the department stores in other places will buy from the people.

Some time ago, we picked a lot of tea leaves in the north place, which has been roasted, and we will continue to pick them one after another.

In addition, the people here in Xiaqiu Village led people to clear a place in the north and plant a tea tree, and there will be tea leaves to pick in a few years. ”

Xiao Qi introduced the situation of the village, and the two people who came over were different from other places.

The two of them came here mainly to learn other things, and department stores didn't need them.

The department store in the village has only one place and name, which belongs to the warehouse area, and the shops in other places need to transfer goods from Xiaqiu Village.

The things collected in the Taiping Mansion area were directly transported down the river to Nanjing, and the things collected by Ning Guofu were first sent to Xiaqiu Village for sorting.

Department stores are equivalent to supply and marketing cooperatives, selling things and receiving things, with large scale and high resource utilization.

The materials purchased are mainly medicinal materials and native products, which can be planted and raised, and the shopkeeper is responsible for teaching the villagers to try to plant and raise.

The native product is naturally planted hemp, rapeseed, hemp needs to be processed locally, rapeseed does not need to be extracted oil, and the oil yield of the village is low when extracting oil.

It is transported to a special oil mill in a department store for processing, and the remaining oil residue is reused.

For example, if the people kill chickens themselves, things like chickens will be eaten directly, and only the knowledgeable old people will stay and use them to cure stomach problems.

Department stores specialize in collecting it, and people will pay one when they kill a chicken, count it, and make up enough to give a penny.

Department stores collect good things that may be unconsciously thrown away from all over the country, and then send them to the general warehouse for inspection and sale...... Send it to the Tai Hospital and the crude drug storehouse.

The palace accounts for eighty percent of the shares! Sending is also counting money, but there is no direct money exchange, and it is a separate account.

"It turns out that there are so many things behind our department store." Li Yan listened to Xiao Qi explain the functions and functions of the store, and said with emotion.

Xiao Qi smiled: "The original purpose was to make money from the people, but suddenly there were people who planted two crops, but only paid the field tax once, and the court felt that it was difficult to do."

So there was the idea of a department store, they have many varieties, of course, more money, to make their money.

As for what happened later, it came naturally, accidentally, it was an accident, hehehehehe! ”

Xiao Qi knew that this was Hanhan's layout, and when Qin King Zhu Fan asked about it, he began to make the overall arrangement.

Department stores will become the supporting skeleton in the economic development of the Ming Dynasty, and its power has not really been shown!

"Eating meat, people naturally have to spend more money, where to spend it is not to spend? Xiao Qi, we really lived, the county seat is too stuffy, not as cool as the village. ”

Li Zhixian was afraid that Li Xin and Li Yan would go outside to talk nonsense, so he hurriedly changed the topic.

"The point is that there is nothing to do, the villagers are no longer fighting, and they are not complaining to each other.

That is to say, there is a little thing between the almshouse and the government school, and they don't have a big deal every day.

Small things, others solve. If there are things in other villages in the county, they will be dealt with here. ”

Guan Xiancheng looked too idle and said, as if he was worried about nothing.

Zheng Zhushu followed up and said: "The office location arranged for us by Xiaqiu Village has glass windows, and no one cares about wearing cool short sleeves casually.

If you are willing to take a shower, it is no problem to take a shower eight times a day, and even if you read a book at night, there is a good lighting.

The key is to eat, in the county yamen, you can't eat meat at once, and it's already good if you don't bring your own food. ”

"Speaking of eating!" Wang Dianshi saw that the three of them spoke up, and he couldn't be silent, so he followed along.

"Speaking of food, Xiaqiu Village will give a lot of things every time, distribute some of them, and use the rest to exchange for money to buy vegetables.

How do you use that soap to send a bunch of soap? The ordinary servant's family has already given a piece, and only rubs soap when there is something.

In exchange for money to buy food, the people of the entire county government will not bring food, and they will not need to bring a few pennies to go out to buy food.

It's impossible to say that there is meat in a single meal, but it's okay to have meat every day, and let's not say that we use our power to bully people......"

Wang Dianshi talked about the operation of the yamen in Xuancheng County, and the city department of the market was the county yamen.

He arranged the stall selling meat to the place where the wind was blowing, and he didn't care if the wind was strong or small, as long as there was wind.

Then make a small windmill of bamboo, with strips of cloth underneath, and when the windmill turns, the strips of cloth fly to expel flies.

What about the vegetable sellers! Seeing that it was hot, the official brought a bucket of water to fill it with well water, and helped to beat a dozen vegetables, so that it was fresh.

Then they buy something, and if they buy meat, the butcher watches the windmill turn, and the meat and the head they choose must be considered well, otherwise it will be easy to change to a windless position tomorrow.

Not to mention the vegetable sellers, the vegetables are fresh and easy to sell, give a little more, and there is no loss at all.

However, only one basket was brought over, and the people who saved eggs and duck eggs among the sellers would rather give more than take advantage of them.

Because the butchers who sell meat make money, but this industry says that it is not good to kill too much, and there are few people who are willing to do it.

For those who sell vegetables, the family takes an extra handful, and there are so many vegetables in the vegetable field that they are not affected.

The eggs and duck eggs they sell are reluctant to eat themselves, and they want to exchange some money for them, and they must not stretch their hands.

"You don't need to pay attention to this kind of Xiaqiu Village, you just want to eat and drink well, and you have to arrange a house for us to live in, I said that I will kill a pig tomorrow......"

"Okay, kill tomorrow!" Without waiting for Wang Dianshi to finish speaking, Xiao Qi took over.

"See?" Wang Dianshi said to the stunned Li Xin and Li Yan.

"But don't kill the pigs, eat the fish tomorrow! We haven't eaten fish in half a month. "Wang Dianshi didn't want to eat pigs at all.

"Okay, let people go to the net in the early morning, and it's enough to drag the net." Xiao Qi continued to be good.

Li Xin and Li Yan continued to look at each other, and at the same time understood why the people in the yamen were so enthusiastic about themselves and others when they arrived in the county seat.
