Chapter 243: A Merchant's Paradise
When Yan Shou, who was far away in the Qi State, led the caravan and came all the way to Bashu, most of the envoys of the vassal states were already familiar with the affairs of Fucheng and stayed here like a fish in water.
"If we knew it was so lively, we would have tried to take a sea boat." Yan Shou looked at the tall and majestic, but the crowd was rubbing shoulders one after another, and he regretted it in his heart, and he might have been able to make more money earlier.
"The sea ships of the Qin State are called sea boats, and the ships of the Qi Kingdom are called Xiaozhou, do you dare to sit on them?" The servant who strictly guarded the most trusted and pampered complained.
Don't dare to strictly abide by nature, life is so beautiful, I wish I would live a long life, how can I go to my own death?
"There are thousands of Bashu products, are you still worried about not knowing what to buy? Are you still hesitating and don't know where to put your feet? Are you still looking for a place to have fun? It only costs 50 wen a day, and I will take you to play in Bashu City! Thank you all for your satisfaction! ”
As soon as I entered the city gate, I saw a group of sturdy men wearing straw hats and a small red sickle flag on them, all dressed in black linen clothes and short brown, soliciting customers loudly.
Before Yan Shou stepped forward to ask, a merchant with a Zhao accent squeezed over and asked distrustfully, "What can you all take us for?" ”
"Picking goods, finding accommodation, introducing the rules of the prefecture, helping to deal with minor disputes, eating, drinking, and having fun." The spirit guy who started was neatly introduced.
Zhao Guoxing was suspicious: "Don't you want to deceive us to a remote place and kill people and goods." ”
This kind of thing is all too common! Especially in small towns, merchants always hear about one or two bloody crimes.
The spirit guy was not angry, pointed to the small flag above his head, and said proudly: "See? Why should you be able to plant a flag by any person? We are registered with the government, under the jurisdiction of the government, and are serious tour guides! ”
Zhao Guoxingshang was still hesitating, Yan Shou leaned over and whispered to him, and finally the two decided to go together.
The spirit guy said the ugly words in front: "You can't spell the order, you have to charge two money." ”
Yan Shou smiled kindly: "Don't worry, we will have peace of mind, and the money will not be less for you." ”
The spiritual guy saw that the two were very likely to be big customers, so he personally took them around Fucheng: "You can call me Niu Da, can the nobles have their own residence?" Do you need a villain to find a place for the nobles? ”
Yan Shou and the merchants of Zhao Kingdom glanced at each other and said, "It's too big to be tired, we have a lot of caravans, and we need a bigger place." ”
Niu Daer didn't say a word, and took the two of them to the southwest of Fucheng: "This piece is close to Fang City, the rent is cheap, and the courtyard is bigger, and most of the princes and merchants are willing to come here." The north side is all owned by executives, and there are very few for rent. ”
Zhao State Merchant: "Why is the north so tight?" ”
"It's close to the county guard's house, and there are school palaces and hospitals around. Because of the high price of land, since the pre-sale of houses in Fucheng, the residential buildings in that area are fifty percent higher than those in other areas. "Niu Da is obviously an old Jianghu and knows all about this.
Yan Shou nodded approvingly.
The new city of Bashu is worthy of being known as the first city in the world, the city is planned very neatly, there are no small vendors on the roadside, it is clean and tidy, and it is very comfortable for people to look at it at a glance.
"Do you want a car? It is estimated that it will take half an hour to walk all the way. Niu Da saw that the two of them were wide and fat, and they didn't seem to be able to go that far.
"No, we'll just sit in our own carriage." Yan Shou sat in the carriage, and his fat body was pitifully crowded with the goods, and the flesh was deformed.
"The county lieutenant has built four large warehouses for the big merchants, specializing in providing cargo storage services, with low fees and guaranteed safety of goods." Niu Da looked at the mighty convoy behind him, and instantly felt that his head was big.
Yan Shou's eyes lit up, and he said with interest: "Niu Da, you tell us about it specifically." ”
After speaking, Yan Shou handed Niu Da a string of copper coins, but Niu Da pushed him back.
Niu Dazheng said: "We have rules and regulations, and we don't allow tips. Large warehouses charge per day, but are not allowed to store valuable or perishable goods. When storing, the warehouse management will strictly review the registration, and then give you a brand, and pick up the goods according to the brand. If the goods are damaged due to warehouse reasons, the warehouse will compensate according to the price. ”
!!! And this good thing?
Yan Shou's mental abacus was tinkling, and the amount of goods in his caravan was large, so he had to rent several rooms to store the goods, which cost a lot of money, and the safety was not guaranteed.
It's better to store it in the warehouse! Just keep some valuables with you.
"Let's go to the warehouse!" Yan Shou and the merchants of Zhao said in unison.
In order to facilitate all kinds of merchants, there are two large warehouses on the east and west sides of Fucheng.
Niu Da took them directly to the big warehouse on the west side.
The examination of the warehouse management is strict and serious, and the goods are recorded, the quantity, the quality is what grade, and the purchase price is all recorded.
"It's the first time it's been so easy." Strictly guarded and traveled lightly, only thinking that I could go shopping for another afternoon.
Niu laughed and said, "Don't worry, let's go to the residence first, tidy up, and then I'll take you to Xishi." ”
Niu Dawei and the others are looking for two adjacent courtyards, the layout and size are the same, both are stone tile houses, with big windows, and they are very spacious and bright when they enter the house.
Niu Da: "The owner is a particular person, and the windows are pasted with new tulle from the Textile Bureau, which does not affect the light, and is mosquito-proof and breathable. We have rules in Bashu, and we can't defecate at will. Outside, there are public toilets, and the thatched houses at home are cleaned regularly for only a few pennies at a time. ”
Yan Shou carefully looked at the house, and the workmanship was very meticulous: "This piece is all family? The style is so similar. ”
Niu laughed and said: "It was built by the county lieutenant, and it was said that the cost would be lower." We don't understand any of this, just listen to the county captain. ”
After the businessman of Zhao Guo put down his luggage, he came to the next door and urged: "Let's go to the West Market." ”
Yan Shou looked at the sky, it was still early, so he went together.
"What's the difference between the West Market and the East Market?" Yan Shou asked.
Niu Da: "When it was originally planned, it was said that the east market sold local goods, and the west market sold foreign goods. Later, the merchants and common people reported that this was very inconvenient, so the county governor changed it, and the east and west markets were not restricted. ”
The merchants of Yan Shou and Zhao State were shocked, in a place like Qin State, which valued agriculture and suppressed commerce, there would be such a local official who attached importance to merchants?
Before we reached the West Market, the already crowded streets became even more crowded.
Niu Da handed the two of them a rope: "Hold the rope, don't get separated." ”
Yan Shou hesitantly held the rope, how much this scene looked like when he was buying a slave, but he took the initiative to grab the rope.
Zhao Guoxingshang was pushed and shoved by the crowd, and asked with difficulty: "In the past, there were so many people in the West Market?" ”
The cow is big, the person is as strong as the cow, and he opened the way in front of him, barely squeezing out a narrow aisle for the two: "Isn't this the six countries all here?" ”
