Although he lives in a trading company, Jihamer naturally does not miss the various changes that have taken place in Yunzhou City. Du Shiyi's confident appearance before made him feel a little inexplicable pressure in his heart, but seeing the grain merchants fighting against the government's grain release, his mood was conflicted - and hoped that these people could really overpower the government, so that the cattle and sheep he brought could be exchanged for a good price; I also hope that Du Shiyi can show his skills, so that Yunzhou City will not be suddenly changed in the future, making it more difficult for him to deal with it.

However, he was still shocked when he learned that the long-high food prices had been suppressed by nearly half at once. In this process, it was difficult for him to find out too much about the inside story as a foreigner, but this did not prevent him from immediately dispelling the original unrealistic thoughts, and immediately sent someone to the governor's mansion to send a prayer post. When he stepped into this government mansion that was only taking shape again, and met Du Shiyi in the study, his attitude was naturally subtly different from before. Not only was he more respectful, but he also faintly revealed a bit of unusual courtesy.

"In the future, when it comes to business, you don't have to come to me again."

Du Shiyi saw that he was just a sentence, and Jihamer's expression changed greatly, he knew that the other party would be wrong about what he meant, but he just stretched out his hand and motioned for him to sit down and speak first. When this inspector sat down extremely uneasily, he said with a pleasant face: "The market in Yunzhou City has almost been completed, and there are more than 100 shops in it, although the scale of the two cities in Chang'an and the east and west, and the south city of Luoyang cannot be compared, but whether it is the Tang people, or the large and small merchants of the Xi people, they can enter the transaction, and they only need to pay the management fee to the city order of the city according to the amount stipulated by the government every month. Just trade fairly, don't buy and sell, and the Governor's Office will not interfere in the rest of the matter. ”

Hearing the three words of not interfering, Jihamer was greatly depressed. After all, he didn't have the city government so deep that the Central Plains people could hold anything in their hearts, and couldn't help but ask: "Wasn't Du Changshi turning his hands over the clouds and raining about the grain price before, so that those grain merchants could steal chickens and rice?" ”

"The idiom of Qi Jin is really accurate."

Du Shiyi replied with a smile quietly, and then said casually: "I'm talking about the usual situation, but if it's an emergency, there are naturally exceptions." For the most part, the Governor's Office naturally stayed out of the matter, but retained the power to regulate it. As for the grain price you mentioned, the grain merchants who had raised the price of grain before knew that they were sorry for the people in Yunzhou City, and they had decided to rebuild the four lanes and provide houses for the residents to make up for their mistakes. And Ben Changshi naturally learned the previous lesson丨 decided to use the bidding method of the Governor's Mansion to select the merchants who entered the Yunzhou market, so as to prevent such profiteers from manipulating prices and hindering the people. ”

"Bidding?"

Seeing that Jihamer was obviously very unfamiliar with this new term, Du Shiyi smiled and said: "The Governor's Mansion will issue detailed rules in the next two days, and a copy will naturally be sent to the trading company at that time. ”

Because of Chen Bao'er's words, except for Liang Xiaoshan, who was weak and unable to take care of things after vomiting blood, other grain merchants met twice, and tested the attitude of the Governor's Mansion, and finally showed sincerity, and made up for their mistakes with the attitude of contributing to the reconstruction of Yunzhou City, and really waited for the good news that the government purchased grain. Although all the grain purchased by the Governor's Mansion was new grain, and not a single grain of old grain was replaced before, and the price of 20 wen a bucket also made them lose a lot, but even so, they were still relieved and grateful. So, when the article on the Yunzhou Bazaar Access System, which was printed by the Governor's Mansion in engraving, came into their hands, everyone carefully studied it.

To say that this model of merchant deposit plus annual management fee is not new to the market outlook, but for today, it can be described as a strange news. Even ordinary ordinary people are also interested in these posts posted on the bulletin board in front of the Governor's Mansion, and even on the avenues in Yunzhou City. Chen Baoer, who led people around to inspect and explain the policy, was even more hoarse when asked by curious people. Among them, the management fee is taken from the business and used for the people, and the deposit is paid when the merchant enters the market, returns it when it is delisted, and pays compensation when there is a crime or other problems.

And when Du Shiyi summoned Wang Fanglie, the former young master of Baishan Mountain, and now the acting Yunzhou Fa Cao joined the army, when he heard the latest appointment, the whole person was a little sluggish: "Yunzhou Anti-Smuggling Bureau? ”

"The terrain and landforms near Yunzhou City are no more familiar to you than you in the future. Therefore, if there are illegal traveling merchants, or if there are ignorant foreign caravans that do not enter Yunzhou City, but want to trade privately outside the country, then they are under your jurisdiction. Du Shiyi patiently explained the importance of this matter to Wang Fanglie, especially in an accentuated tone, "There are a few things in particular that should be watched out for the most, and that is tea." As for silk brocade and other precious gold and silver items, the punishment can be lightened. The same is true for iron tools, both the Xi and Khitan are good at smelting iron, unless they are weapons, they don't have to be too strictly prohibited. Within a few days, I will ask Cui to join the army and give you a detailed plaintext. This matter is related to the great plan of the imperial court, and you have a deep duty and must not be neglected."

Wang Fanglie knew that he, his father, and Bai Mountain's old and young should belong to the foreign department in the new system created by Du Shiyi, but when he heard Du Shiyi's words, he only felt a heat in his heart, and couldn't help but spit out his doubts directly: "This kind of big thing, Du Changshi entrusted it to me, I'm just afraid that I can't do it......"

"No, only you are competent" Du Shiyi slowly got up and walked in front of Wang Fanglie, and then said in a deep voice, "I allow you to transfer 100 young men from Baishan Mountain to the Anti-Smuggling Bureau, pay military salaries according to the previous Yunzhou garrison standards, and exempt family members from service according to the previous regulations." If there is a meritorious person who has made meritorious service in the fight against smuggling, I can ask the imperial court to confer an honor. ”

Although he had made meritorious contributions in the battle to exterminate horse thieves because of his father's consent to join him, Du Shiyi had a fake son like Wang Zhongsi to lead the troops, and Luo Ying, who had easily held him hostage in just three or two clicks before, also brought a surprise army, Wang Fanglie didn't expect that he could keep the previous ones. Therefore, when Du Shiyi allowed him to take charge alone, and allowed him to carry Bai Mountain's children, the only trace of zuihou in his heart was finally completely dissolved. He almost didn't think about it, he fell to one knee and bowed his head deeply.

Although the gift of the imperial court came, without Du Shiyi, there would be no posthumous gift from his grandfather; He is the same as Bai Dengshan up and down the mountain, and he can only be a manly man who turns into a foreign mountain man for eternity, and he should repay his kindness

"Du Changshi's kindness to my white mountaineering up and down, a toothless and unforgettable, this life will be remembered in this life, and I will definitely live up to the trust and die for Du Changshi"

"Get Up"

Du Shiyi helped Wang Fanglie up with both hands, and then said with a smile: "Ling Zun is old, if he is not used to the bitter cold of Bai Mountain, he can move back to Yunzhou to live in the future, and the rest of the people will do the same." ”

"Yes, I will tell my father"

When watching Wang Fanglie leave, Du Shiyi knew very well that this rough man who had always been hostile to him at the beginning was now completely home. Compared with nepotism, Wang Fanglie and the children of Baishan Mountain, who have lived in Baishan Mountain for many years, are undoubtedly the most haode choice, but because of the previous turmoil of high food prices, since this month, there have been many fewer households moving to Yunzhou than before. However, the results of nearly 4,000 mouths are still quite impressive. However, in addition to dividing the fields, Tuntian, the most self-sufficient way, cannot be abandoned.

But he was short of people, very short of people

The newly completed market in Yunzhou, Du Shiyi was finally named Liren City. Although it has the same name as Chang'an West City in the Sui Dynasty, the name is easy to understand, at least both merchants and ordinary people are extremely happy. Whether it was the merchants who flocked to Yunzhou to look for business opportunities before, or the Xi merchant group that rarely appeared after living in the trading company, when they entered Liren City and began to trade with merchants, they immediately burst out with the greatest enthusiasm. In addition to luxury goods such as tea, silk silk, gold and silver, the cattle, sheep and horses produced by the Raole Du Governor's Mansion controlled by the Xi people, as well as various furs and medicinal materials, etc., were all things that merchants flocked to.

However, Du Shiyi summoned Jihamer again when the transaction was busy. And this time, he came up with a plan that was extremely tempting to Gihamer.

Horses and slaves were sold

Horses were naturally a necessity for the Xi and Khitans, but they have always been far superior to the Turkic horse breeds. Therefore, I heard that the Turks were actually trading with the Tang Dynasty in the Western Surrender City, and the number was even as high as the so-called 100,000 horses, and the Xi people were naturally greatly shocked. Therefore, as soon as Du Shiyi said that fifty catties of tea is easy for a good horse, Ji Hamerden showed a heart-warming expression.

Compared with the previous forty catties of tea for a horse, this seems to be more generous. But the so-called good horse made him hesitate.

"What Du Changshi said is a good horse. A good horse is hard to find, and your fifty catties of tea will inevitably be less. ”

"Didn't I realize that since the Xi people drank tea, the previous illness has decreased a lot in one fell swoop?" Seeing that Jihamer was really dumbfounded, Du Shiyi said with a smile, "Since General Wang was in charge of the pastoral supervisor before, there are hundreds of thousands of good horses in the stables of the imperial court, and there is no shortage of horses. This tea and horse exchange is not so much for the horses as for Anbian. Presumably, if the Khitan learned about this, they would be very interested. However, Yunzhou is only a stone's throw away from the Raole Governor's Mansion, and the Khitan Ke Tu Yu deliberately provoked before, and even tried to blame the Xi people with horse thieves, so I only opened this good government to the Xi people. ”

"Yes, I naturally understand Du Changshi's affection." Jihamer thought about it again and again, and finally nodded slightly, and then asked again, "What is the use of Du Changshi's so-called slaves?" ”

"Don't worry, I don't want slaves who can sing and dance, and who are not good at grazing cattle and horses, and who are brave and good at fighting, and those slaves who have been doing heavy work and are dispensable, I think it's not a little for me, right? Especially if my ancestors are Tang people, or one of my parents is Tang people, I am willing to exchange the price of ten catties of tea for one person. If it is an old and weak woman or child, each person has two catties of tea. ”

It wasn't for nothing, and Jihamer put his mind at ease. Moreover, what made him even more moved was that Du Shiyi added another sentence.

"Of course, if it weren't for the Tang Dynasty, as long as you are strong and able to work on the farm, I am willing to ask for it. Especially those who are useless to Qi Jin and it is a pity to kill them, although they can be sent to Yunzhou."
