Chapter 234 Dongzhu Shopping
Sun Xiangfu is very busy now, like many men in later generations who start businesses, he doesn't have much time to play with his wife, and things like entertaining guests have to be left to his wife, so Yu Xiuer invited Dongzhu to go shopping Go shopping in Shanyang City.

The carriage was walking slowly on the wide road. The flat cement road made the car bump very little. Dong Zhu, who had stolen the curtains and wore the clothes Yu Xiuer had prepared for her, would keep looking at both sides of the road, for fear of making mistakes. What.

"There are a lot of people in your Han city. Why are they digging the soil? Is this how you farm in the city?"

"They are not farming, but building houses. There are still many places in Shanyang City that need to be built. Today, I will take you to the commercial street that has been built, and then go to the beauty and health center for a spa. Go there On you..."

Yu Xiu'er was embarrassed to say the word 'Yang Sao Wei', but Chuntao and Hongmei beside her were giggling.

Just when Sun Xiangfu was in a meeting, they had already gone to interrogate Xi Junmai, and found out that the identity of this little girl was actually the younger sister of Yi Nan, the leader of Xue Yantuo's tribe, and the word 'face blindness' was clearly explained by Xi Junmai It was only then that Yu Xiu'er realized that she had misunderstood Sun Xiangfu. No matter how you looked at it, this silly girl didn't look like Sun Xiangfu's dish.

The commercial street is composed of more than 1000 shops of different sizes. Entering from the north entrance of the city, the first larger shop is the blacksmith shop of Yuchi's family.

The carriage stopped at the intersection, Yu Xiu'er and Dong Zhu got off, and soon, a person came out from the blacksmith's shop, it was Yuchi Baolin.

"Sister-in-law is here, this is..."

Yuchi's family deserves to be of Hu blood, Yu Xiuer, even Hongmei and Chuntao are all Han women with good looks, but he saw Dongzhu who was led behind by the three at a glance.

"Baolin, didn't my husband let you be responsible for the security of the city? Why are you on duty in your own shop! This girl is the sister of Yi Nan, the leader of Xue Yantuo's tribe, and her name is Dongzhu. Don't neglect her." Yu Xiuer glanced at her clothes. Yuchi Baolin, who was dressed in a thick military uniform, made a deliberate accusation, and introduced him solemnly.

"Hehe, the folk customs in the city are simple and simple, and there is no big deal. Didn't this just happen to patrol the commercial street, so I sat down in my shop and had a cup of milk tea. By the way, you are here as guests. There is a greenhouse behind the shop. You can Go sit down."

When Yuchi talked about drinking tea, Hongmei and Chuntao glanced at Dongzhu's round belly, and wanted to laugh again, but Yu Xiuer stopped them with her eyes, and said, "There's no need to drink tea, we can just stroll around the commercial street, you If you are familiar with this place, show us the way!"

Originally, Yuchi Baolin was just a brigade commander in the Shuozhou Unity Camp, responsible for leading [-] cavalry to patrol the surrounding counties for security. Now, the management organizations of the yamen in each county are basically sound. He was promoted by Sun Xiangfu to be a local low-level military officer such as a county lieutenant, and let them recruit their own people to take charge of law and order and manage the people, but there was no need for Yuchi Baolin's team.

But now that Shanyang City has developed, and there are nearly 10 people working in the city, Sun Xiangfu appointed Yuchi Baolin as the director of the Shanyang Public Security Department based on the actual situation, leading five hundred soldiers to manage the public security of the city, which is equivalent to a good Chief of Public Security Yang!

He is not an official in Chang'an. After all, Chang'an is a city system, Wuhou is in charge of neighborhood security, and Shanyang is a neighborhood system. Considering that there will be more Hu people and foreigners than Han people here in the future, Sun Xiangfu demands security. The Department of Public Security takes the initiative to patrol the streets. They are often seen in every block. All bullying, unfair and immoral behaviors are prohibited. The Han people are oppressed by force. The Han people are smarter than the Hu people, and they often play tricks to deceive the Hu people when doing business.

"Hehe, little brother, I can't wait to ask for it. I don't know what Miss Dongzhu is interested in!"

Yuchi Baolin looked at Dongzhu, only to find that her eyes had already been sizing up in his shop, what kind of hoe!Iron pan!Kitchen knife!Like stroking a baby, she picks up each piece to have a look.

"Is this store opened by you? Can I buy the goods here and take them away?"

After reading dozens of iron objects, Dongzhu remembered something, walked quickly to Yuchi Baolin, and asked in a hurried tone.

"Uh, that, of course, here are just selling ironware for civilian use. The Duhufu does not restrict the identity of the buyer, but if the quantity is too large, it must be reported."

When Dongzhu heard this, he looked happy and said, "How much is a large quantity?"

"What's the matter, it must be thousands of pieces!"

Dongzhu smiled even more, "Okay, then I want nine hundred and ninety-nine pieces, as many cattle and sheep as you want, or horses are also fine..."

"It turns out Miss Dongzhu is here to discuss business! Then I'll let the shopkeeper do the math for you..."

Yuchi Baolin's knives and guns are alright, this counts!It should be understood by the shopkeeper Sun Xiangfu sent him.

"Girl, our shop usually doesn't accept barter. If you only have cattle, sheep and horses, you can go to the livestock market in the old city to sell them, exchange them for copper coins, and then come to our shop to buy them."

In fact, Yuchi Baolin said thousands of pieces, not a thousand pieces. From the time he decided to open the blacksmith shop here, Sun Xiangfu knew that its sales would reach a terrifying figure, because the grassland tribes needed these things too much.

But he knew that those tribal herdsmen only had cattle and sheep in their hands. If everyone drove cattle and sheep to the commercial street to exchange things, the order of the whole street would be messed up. , as a large livestock trading market, where, even if you have tens of thousands of cattle and sheep to sell, there are people who can eat them for you, and give you enough copper coins or cash from the government-run cabinet of Anbei Dufu Mansion Redemption.

There are many cabinets in the eastern and western cities of Chang'an, and they are privately owned. They are special places for people to keep money and charge a certain storage fee, but in Shanyang, it is because Sun Xiangfu has set up a government-run free cabinet. After the workshop, other cabinet workshops could not be operated, so this one was the only one.

Everyone just regards this as a welfare measure Sun Xiangfu made for the people of Shanyang, but they don't know how much benefit Sun Xiangfu will bring to him. It is precisely because of this cabinet that Sun Xiangfu dares to Playing all-cash transactions in Shanyang and stimulating transactions will increase taxes. After all, there are not so many copper coins in this period, and silk is one of the main transaction currencies.

Moreover, since the opening of several business halls of the free cabinet shop, they have basically come to save money, especially those with a lot of money.Because Shanyang is a block system, there are no restrictions on any transactions, and there is no curfew. You can buy things anytime, anywhere here.

But how many people are willing to carry a pile of heavy copper coins on their body all day long?It is much more convenient to use the anonymous cash exchange at the cabinet, and there is no need for Sun Xiangfu to promote it. Everyone started to use this function consciously, and the cash reserve in the cabinet of the Duhu Mansion was huge.

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, Dongzhu finally knew how to buy things in the commercial street. It turns out that only money is accepted here, but she has no money now, and her group of people doesn't bring many cattle, sheep and horses, so I'm afraid they can't exchange them. How many iron utensils, you know, those merchants who sell iron pots in their tribe usually need a yak or two fat sheep to exchange one for them, even if a clay pot uses more than iron pots, a sheep is enough It can only be exchanged for two or three, but the pottery pots are not durable, and several a year is needed, but the thick iron skillet can be burned for several years. Grassland nobles like her usually use iron pots.

As for the boning knives and sickles for cutting grass that herdsmen usually use to cut meat, as long as they are made of iron, the price is not low. The key is that you are willing to change them, and the merchants may not have them for you.

Seeing the dazzling array of iron equipment here, Dongzhu was very happy. She began to point to the iron equipment in the shop and asked the price one by one. Then, she asked Yuchi Baolin about the price of cattle and sheep. After that, she counted for a long time with her fingers. I came to a conclusion that one sheep can be exchanged for several iron pots, because the price of one iron pot is about [-] Wen. In Datang, even in a border area like Shanyang, the price of a catty of mutton is more than [-] Wen. In Chang'an's normal years, mutton can reach forty to fifty cents a catty in autumn and winter, which means nothing in a disaster year, otherwise people wouldn't cook mutton with more spices than usual.

And a fat sheep can produce more than 50 catties of meat. The meat alone is almost the price of five or six iron pots. What about the water and sheepskin?Those merchants are earning the benefits of their tribe with a price difference of more than ten times.

Knowing this, Dongzhu suddenly felt that his trip to Shanyang City was not in vain. In the future, if the tribe needs ironware, it should drive cattle and sheep to the livestock market in Shanyang City to exchange for copper coins, and then buy them in Yuchi Baolin's shop. .

With some reluctance, Dongzhu walked out of the ironware shop, followed Yuchi Baolin and Yu Xiuer and the girls and walked a few steps on the street before being attracted by another shop, because there were all pots and jars here, she knew that this It is salted fish bean paste, which Sun Xiangfu gave her on the way to Shanyang. Adding a spoonful into the mutton soup makes the steamed soup salty. Not to mention it is very tasty, but it can also add salt. She thought These salted fish bean paste can only be eaten in small quantities by noble people like Sun Xiangfu who have the money, but they don't expect that this shop has so many for sale.

"That~"

"Oh, you can call me Brother Yuchi, or Brother Baolin."

Seeing that Dongzhu wanted to call him, but couldn't say his name, Yuchi Baolin hurriedly introduced himself.

"Well, Yuchi Baolin, how do you sell this salty sauce?"

Yuchi Baolin was a little disappointed when someone directly erased the word "brother" and called him by his full name, but he still explained with a smile, "This thing is not expensive, a jar of five catties only sells for 130 renminbi, and the price will be more expensive if you buy more." Lower it, the price is written here!"

The ex-factory price of salted fish bean paste has always been 150 renminbi a catty, and the maximum price is [-] renminbi. A five-cat pack of salted fish bean paste may be sold for [-] renminbi in other border areas, but it is cheaper in Shanyang Because of the high demand here, Sun Xiangfu specially sent a water steamer that can go against the current to transport it to the nearest wharf through the Yellow River waterway, and then transfer it to Shanyang City by land, but only charged the freight cost and made a small profit from the difference.

"130 Wen and five catties? One sheep can be exchanged for more than a dozen altars?"

"Uh, this one!" Yuchi Baolin hesitated when he heard the number.

Chuntao on the side smiled and said, "Yes, Miss Dongzhu, if you ask such an arithmetic question, Mr. Yuchi will find it difficult to answer, so you should ask me!"

She was the first group of people to learn Sun's algebraic symbols, and she was also the first manager of Chang'an Wangjiang Building. She was very familiar with these business matters, but she didn't go out to do business just to avoid suspicion with the master.

All right!After Chuntao said this, Yuchi Baolin really became a leader, and, in this area, he took the whole afternoon, and there was nothing Dongzhu didn't want in the commercial street, such as spirits, alcohol, etc. Cans of honey, flower-flavored sugar cakes that can be stored for several months, tea leaves for making milk tea, and many delicious dried fruits that she has never seen before, many of which are much more comfortable to wear than sheepskin hemp Clothes, all kinds of exquisitely carved headgear...
