Chapter 963: Nine Eighty-One New Store
Feeling the cold touch and heavy texture, looking at the steel spear that was two meters thick and long, exuding a blue-black light, his heart suddenly became much more stable. With such a sharp weapon in hand, everything can be done. What's more, he now has hundreds of Lumi Guns in his hands.
He glanced at it, looking at the hundreds of Lumi guns densely arranged on this shelf, and his heart suddenly felt prideful.
Dong Ce is also very aware that there are some things that must be done now.
Early the next morning, before dawn and it was dark, Qian Yichuan left home and walked briskly towards the Rock Fort.
At this time, the whole village was still immersed in silence. After all, it is still winter, the days are short and the nights are long, although at this time, except for those who are soldiers in the big camp, the rest of the people are basically working in these areas around the rock fort, but now the sky is very late, about seven or eight o'clock in the morning in the later generations, and the time to work is relatively late, almost able to push it to more than nine o'clock in the later generations, so they naturally do not need to get up so early. Besides, these days, I do physically demanding work all day long, and I need a lot of sleep at night to replenish myself.
Zheng hugged the child, leaned against the door, and looked at Qian Yichuan's departing back in a daze, tears streaming down his eyes. But there is not much sadness, it seems that crying at this time is just more of a habit. Because she knew that in another month, her husband would come back; Because she knows that after waiting for more than half a year, her family can usher in another bumper harvest; She also knows that the future will be better and better, and she and her husband will have children and grandchildren, and they will be able to enjoy their old age in peace.
Such a day was completely unimaginable before, but now she dared to think and was sure that it would become a reality. She felt very lucky and blessed to be able to meet this man, to be able to come to Rock Castle, and to be able to settle down in a warm home here.
Qian Yichuan walked forward for a while, and then turned back silently, and by the light in the hall of the house, he could see his mother-in-law standing there, shadowing a figure. He grinned, waved his hand, and then turned and strode forward.
At this time, the sky was not bright, it was dark, and in this era, it was impossible for the village to have any street lights, and there was no light from the surrounding people. But fortunately, there are stars and moons in the sky, and the road is not too difficult to walk at night. Walking on the road in the village, you can hear a dog barking from time to time. Although there is a livestock breeding department in Panshibao, which raises all kinds of poultry and livestock, this is not a monopoly, and the government does not prohibit ordinary people from raising chickens and ducks. They can even go to the Animal Husbandry Department to buy some chicken seedlings and duck seedlings and raise them at home, because to put it bluntly, these livestock and poultry in the Animal Husbandry Department are mainly supplied to the army.
In addition to the barking of dogs and roosters, occasionally when passing by some people's homes, you can hear a loud purring of men. At this time, everyone lives in adobe houses, and some even have thatched roofs, so how can there be any sound insulation? At night, when you snor, you can hear it very clearly outside.
Walking in the meantime, Qian Yichuan had a smile on his lips, and his heart was even more satisfied. It was as if this ordinary village scenery was something extremely precious to him.
In fact, if he had become an outcast, he would not have been able to appreciate such a landscape, and he would have turned a blind eye. But after that painful experience, he deeply understood how rare this peaceful and peaceful scene is now.
When Qian Yichuan arrived at the south gate of Panshi Fort, the gate had not yet opened, and the gate of Panshi Fort was still closed at night. In fact, Qian Yichuan came a little early, and with the distance between his house and Rock Fort, he could have left an hour later.
But Qian Yichuan is the kind of very cautious and cautious character, that is, he is afraid that there will be a delay in the pool, so he gets up early every time to go back.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the city gate slowly opened, at this time the sky had been brightened, and when the city gate was opened, the identity was checked, Qian Yichuan entered the city, and after the urn city, he officially entered the rock fort. As soon as he entered this realm, Qian Yichuan heard a burst of noise not far away.
He suddenly wondered in his heart, what happened to him?
Because in the rock fort, the ingredients are actually very simple, either people from the government or soldiers and craftsmen. Now there are no other people who can live in the Rock Fort, non-soldiers and craftsmen, except for Dong Ce's family and his officials and their families. For example, the scribes in the Rock Castle, the treasurers in the treasury, etc., in fact, their homes are all outside the Rock Castle, but they are just on duty on the Rock Treasure during the day.
Because the composition of the rock fort is very simple, there are only a few people outside the army, so it is still very quiet most of the time. The only louder sound may be the sound made by the soldiers during drills.
But at this time, it is very strange that there is such a noise inside the city gate.
Because Qian Yichuan remembered very well that after the entrance to the south gate of Panshi Fort, this street was empty, and there were only some houses on both sides that had been built, but there was nothing in the houses, neither people's houses nor shops.
He took a closer look, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his eyes widened with disbelief.
It turned out that when they left yesterday, the houses on both sides of the street were still empty, and at this time they were all crowded with people.
This short street, from the inner gate of the south city gate to the intersection in front, is about seventeen or eighteen zhang, that is, about fifty meters. There are about 30 storefronts on the left and right sides of this 50-meter-long street. These so-called stores with less than 30 rooms refer to a single store, and some stores are spread across several single rooms. For each store, the big ones can occupy five or six rooms, and the small ones have two or three. So there are about six or seven stores, and they take up these thirty single rooms.
The width of each private room is about three meters.
Among these seven or eight shops, there are cloth shops that sell silk and satin and ready-to-wear clothes, grain shops that buy grain and collect grain, and also sell oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, as well as restaurants, and shops that sell gold, silver, and jewelry.
And there is a storefront, there is a meat stall in front of the store, and the store in the back sells cooked food, through the door of the store, Qian Yichuan can clearly see that there are quite a lot of preserved chicken, preserved duck, bacon and pork legs hanging on the beams of the store. A burst of fragrance wafted over, and the smell made people drool a little.
Although the number of these seven or eight stores is not particularly large, they almost cover the daily consumption needs of an ordinary person's family. Some of the things you need in life are roughly that's it.
There are not many shops, but the coverage is very wide.
Qian Yichuan was almost stupid, he was very sure that at this time yesterday, these stores were still open!
Almost overnight, these stores blossomed and flourished.
Qian Yichuan naturally didn't know the inside story, and the reason why this happened was because Dong Ce only gave the order yesterday.
In fact, these stores can be generally regarded as official stores, or more precisely, these stores belong to Dong Ce.
Long before following Liu Ruozai to Gansu Town, Dong Ce already had this idea again, he wanted to open many stores in Panshi Fort, which contained the things that the people needed for daily life. If people want to buy something, they can just come here, and they don't need to travel long distances to a lonely shop or other place dozens of miles away.
In this way, it is also very convenient.
And convenience is only one of the reasons why Dong Ce opened a store, and another reason is that Dong Ce is in order to establish the economic system of Panshibao.
When he left, the people were still poor, but that doesn't mean they will stay poor. At that time, Dong Ce expected that with the arrival of the first bumper harvest, the surplus grain in the hands of the people would suddenly increase.
Having grain does not mean having silver, because with their own ability, it is difficult to transport grain to a place dozens of miles away and sell it. Then these grains will rot in vain. Of course, Dong Ce will not sit idly by and watch such things happen, on the contrary, in his plan, these grains are a very important part.
With this grain, the whole chain comes alive.
