Chapter 883 Naturalization Collection

The city is not small, but there are not many places to visit, it is actually a magnified fortress, in order to ensure the smooth flow of people and goods, many of the former houses have been demolished and built into wide, straight roads, so that when necessary, the highest efficiency can be guaranteed.

For example, the guards of the caravans in the city were not with their main families, but lived in the vicinity of the gates according to the arrangement, and these armed forces would be used to defend the city at the first time.

There are 1,000 guards of the Sanjiang Commercial Bank, this is in the heart of the city, adjacent to the officers and soldiers, this arrangement was also made by Wang Tong back then, if the caravan guards want to make trouble, the guards and officers of the Sanjiang Commercial Bank immediately went over to suppress it.

The artisans lived close to the workshops, even the leading figures of the workshops, and the large families in the city were dispersed as much as possible, all for the sake of military and stability.

Under such regulations, there are two restaurants in the city, and they are specially opened by Sanjiang Commercial Bank, and the dishes are not worth mentioning, mainly selling spirits, and the wealthy merchants in the city want to have a big banquet, all according to the customs of the grassland, roast sheep and barbecue, and the real will be to hire a cook in Datong City.

However, according to the introduction of the local shopkeeper of Sanjiang Commercial Bank, this situation will soon be broken, and there are already businessmen in Henan who have set their sights on this business opportunity, bought land, and started construction after the beginning of spring, and want to invite celebrity chefs to come.

Qinglou gambling house, it is strictly forbidden in the city, as for whether there are secret prostitutes or dice shops outside the city, everyone is too lazy to care, there is always ** to vent, too strict is not good.

There were shops in the city, ranging from small groceries to large luxuries, and business was prosperous, and the people inside and outside the city, the Mongols from outside, and people of all ethnic groups came in and out.

But for Wang Tong, who runs Tianjin Wei and lives in Beijing, this is not a big deal, it is nothing more than the results of construction under the knowledge.

Wandering around, that is, to relax, Tan Jiang, who accompanied him, also understood that after walking around the city, he led Wang Tong to the north of the city.

In the past, when he rode by, Wang Tong only saw that this place was a large open space, and there were soldiers and guards practicing here, but this time he was led by General Tan, but he saw that people came and went here, and it was very lively, and it was completely like a big bazaar.

"Master, every tenth of every month, here is a big gathering, merchants and people inside and outside the city can come here to trade and trade, and each stall government only collects ten catties of hay."

Ten catties of hay is more troublesome elsewhere, but it is readily available on the grassland, which is almost equivalent to free, and it can be regarded as one of the good governance, but this scale, looking at the least thousands of stalls, tens of thousands of people are active in it, held three times a month, and the income of the naturalized city has a lot of hay, and it has also solved a lot of problems for itself, which is a mutually beneficial method.

"During the New Year, the market doesn't open until the 20th, so it's very lively here."

Seeing the appreciation on Wang Tong's face, Tan Jiang also felt that there was light on his face, and introduced it with a smile.

Wang Tong nodded, and walked towards the bazaar, the guards around him pushed people away, and the bazaar was full of people, and they also saw that Wang Tong's group was not an ordinary person, and they all consciously avoided it.

The outermost circle is the livestock market, where cattle, horses, sheep and pigs are traded, but at this time, the livestock are losing fat, the appearance is not good, and the buyers pay less attention, so there is really nothing to see.

Walking inside, there are some people outside the city who are setting up stalls to buy and sell here, some people are hunting prey outside, picking medicinal herbs, these are more Mongolian and foreigners, and the Han people outside the city are holding fabrics made by their own daughters, and there are some gadgets to trade here.

The shops and merchants in the city also sent their men here to shout and buy, and their stalls were much more decent, so they could build a shed in which all kinds of goods were displayed.

Wang Tong also understood these goods, they were all silk and cloth that were about to fade, some damaged and broken utensils, etc., which could still be used, but the quality was not good, and the price was cheap, and the people were also very enthusiastic.

In the bazaar, there is also a group of people carrying baskets, which contain food such as baked cakes and bacon meat, shouting back and forth to buy and sell, these are the same, and the bazaar of the Ming Dynasty is also like this.

"There are no thieves here, and there must be a lot of thieves in a place like Tianjin Wei."

Wang Tong could hear that it was Bao Erxiao's question, and heard another person explain:

"There are also thieves, who set up a stake outside the bazaar and hanged themselves directly, and after getting it twice, there is no one who does not have long eyes"

Wang Tong smiled, the harsh law is the most effective means in such a place, after all, there are still some new things, Wang Tong saw a shop for repairing bows and arrows, and there is a stall to buy dilapidated weapons, repair them on behalf of them, and trade in the old for the new, of course, a part of the fee will be charged, the people who patronize them are mostly Mongolians and foreigners, and there are many local people.

I have never seen a wine shop, a simple tent with a wide open door, and a wine vat in it, from time to time someone goes in, hands the guy inside a wine bag, the guy pours liquor with a funnel, you don't need to go in, you can smell the strong aroma of wine at the door of the tent.

There are very few Han Chinese people who enter this shop, they are nomads in leather robes, they drink in the tent, and when they get out of the tent, they can't help but take a few sips, and they breathe a sigh of relief, and they are extremely satisfied.

"Camels are good willows, Mongolia is good wine, this is really true"

Wang Tong said with a smile, camels are good willows, Mongolian wine is a record of the Song people's notes, Cai Nan read a book, and Wang Tong chatted about it, Mongolians are good at drinking, this is already a public opinion, camels like to eat willow branches and willow leaves, Wang Tong also saw it with his own eyes in Beijing, so he casually had this feeling.

But then Wang Tong remembered something and asked again:

"Is this liquor shop government-run or private?"

General Tan was stunned, glanced at the wine shop a few times, and immediately replied:

"It's private."

Wang Tong was silent for a while, walked forward, took a few steps and said in a deep voice:

"The north is bitter and cold, no matter who you are, you like to drink two sips of spirits, but brewing spirits consumes food, and now it is all grass creation, brewing and selling wine, you can only let the government sell it, so there is still a control"

Speaking of this, Wang Tong paused, shook his head and said:

"The government can't do it, this kind of big profit will make them ruined sooner or later, wait for me to go back and explain to Meng Duo, from now on, it is strictly forbidden to buy and sell alcohol inside and outside the city, let Sanjiang Commercial Bank do it."

Naturally, there will be no objections to the cultivation and sale of spirits on the grassland, and this kind of profiteering is handed over to his own family to make a fortune, so Meng Duo and his people all have dry shares and dividends in it, which is a happy thing, and there will be no official objection.

In addition to the Han merchants selling utensils, there are also some merchants from the Western Regions who set up stalls to buy and sell, and spread a felt on the ground, which is full of all kinds of utensils, all of which are plates, kettles, dishes and the like of copper, iron and tin, and the patterns are carved on them, all of which are quite Western Regions.

"Master, isn't it early, go home for dinner?"

Tan Jiang opened his mouth to ask, Wang Tong looked forward, it seemed that the front was also an open space, it should be the end of the market, but it seemed to be very lively over there, such a market, there would never be two livestock markets, what are you doing over there, look at the pedestrians around you, many people are interested in the past.

"What's the rush for lunch, go over and take a look."

Wang Tong said casually, and was about to walk forward, Tan Jiang coughed a little embarrassed twice, and said again:

"Master, there's nothing to see over there"

"Is there anything inconvenient for me to see?"

Wang Tong also came back to his senses and asked, Tan Jiang didn't want to let himself go over to see it, so he used other reasons to delay and stop here, and was stared at by Wang Tong, Tan Jiang hurriedly bowed his head and said embarrassedly:

"There is no place in the Naturalization City that the lord can't see, but I'm afraid the lord won't like it before, and it's filthy and pickled there, and it's not for a noble person like the lord to go."

"Isn't it nice to see this way? Isn't this market quiet and clean, but you say so, but you must go and see it, otherwise your curiosity will be unbearable."

Wang Tong teased, stepped forward, Tan Jiang chased after him with a wry smile, approached and said:

"Master, Naturalization City is different from Daming, there are some things that the Lord may not be used to, but this is often done in Naturalization City."

Wang Tong waved his hand, obviously a little impatient, Tan Jiang didn't dare to say any more, and walked up with a group of people.

Walking out of the street with stalls on both sides, I walked to the open space at the other end of the market, which occupies a slightly smaller area than the mule and horse market on the other side, but it is ten times more lively, and many well-dressed people walk around here, there are large and small tents, and there are wooden platforms that seem to be the kind of military parades, and there are people standing on them.

"Come and see, they are all strong men, and they can raise livestock, and they can farm after a few years of practice."

"The guest officer is here, this woman looks dirty and smells bad, take her back to wash and wash, serve at home, or call the people below"

"One hundred taels and one, what are you talking about, it's expensive, open your eyes and see, this is a woman from Taiji, dozens of guards have died in the sixth number of people in Fenzhou, don't buy it and go away, sell it to Shanxi, someone wants a thousand taels"

Here, people are traded like animals, Wang Tong looked around, and found that his guards were all dumbfounded, and Tan Jiang was full of embarrassment and uneasiness.

"The City of People"

Wang Tong said with a smile -
