Chapter 410: What's the Deal About?
Qiao Xiaoru's eyes lit up: "Commodity fair? β
Dugu Yuzhang nodded and said with a smile: "This is a project suggested by Emperor Taizu when he was there, and it will be held once in a year or two or two or three years in major provincial cities or economically prosperous large and medium-sized cities, in order to promote commercial exchanges and development in various places." β
He sighed softly, but unfortunately, ten years ago, the unprecedentedly grand commodity fair in Jinling was involved in the largest case of collusion between officials and businessmen since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, and for a time, countless people died, punished, exiled, and raided homes.
Since then, trade fairs have become taboo in many places, and in recent years few have been held in many places.
Dugu Yuzhang even felt that if it weren't for the fact that this commodity fair was founded by the wise and martial Emperor Taizu, who was unparalleled in ancient and modern times, the emperor might have issued an order not to hold it again.
It's been a long time since it was 10 years ago, but because it hasn't been held for many years, many local officials don't even know what it's all about, so it's no surprise that there are very few people who want to hold it.
Dongchang City is far away from the capital and Jinling in the south of the Yangtze River, and the impact is not large, but it has been held several times intermittently over the years, and each session has attracted many large businesses from all over the country, and this reputation has been played out.
Qiao Xiaoru suddenly realized, "Oh! He nodded, and silently praised in his heart, what Emperor Taizu brought to this country and this dynasty, only she understood it deeply.
It's a pity that many things have gradually become thin because of the death of Emperor Taizu, perhaps because he wanted to do too much and his energy was limited, many things could only lead to a beginning, and it was too late to consolidate and improve.
How the future will develop can only be left to time to tell.
It's normal for many things to become deeper, and many to fade away.
"However, you must have to register in advance for such a trade fair, right? Half a month...... Is it in time? Qiao Xiaoru asked with some concern.
Dugu Yuzhang's proposal she admitted that she was very moved, this is not only a great opportunity to promote roast duck and roast goose, but also a great opportunity to meet the world and communicate.
She believes that many shrewd businessmen will see this, and there must be many merchants who participate, where will it be her turn?
Dugu Yuzhang showed appreciation in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Yes, every commodity fair will be registered half a year in advance, if a merchant can't come if something happens, you can transfer the quota to other merchants with similar strength." It just so happens that a friend of mine has applied for a seat this year, and if Mrs. Qiao is interested, I will discuss with him and ask him to give up a corner! I have something to go to Dongchang after a while, and I can go on the same road by the way! β
"Thisβwon't it make Dugu Gongzi embarrassed?" Qiao Xiaoru smiled hesitantly.
Dugu Yuzhang laughed, "Qiao Niangzi is so polite, you have done us such a big favor in the proud building, we haven't thanked you yet, what is this?" Don't worry, my friend and I are extremely good, and this mouth is easy to open! β
When he said this, Qiao Xiaoru was relieved, and immediately nodded and smiled: "Thank you so much Dugu Gongzi, when will you leave, please say it two or three days in advance, we can prepare!" β
Dugu Yuzhang nodded and said with a smile: "It's not in a hurry, let's go in about seven or eight days!" β
The matter was settled, and the night was dark, so they went back to their rooms to rest.
"Ah Zhan, in a few days, we will go out again, go to the provincial capital, I don't know how to be lively!" Qiao Xiaoru was a little excited and couldn't help herself.
Anyway, after coming to this other world, although she went on a long trip not long ago, it was to a remote town, and the roads were all not prosperous villages and towns, which were not the same concept as the provincial capital, how could she not be excited?
The country girl is finally going to see the world!
The stupid husband just smiled, hugged her and said, "I will go wherever my daughter-in-law goes!" β
Qiao Xiaoru's heart warmed and smiled at him. If it weren't for him, she would be excited and looking forward to going far away, but she would also be a little uneasy and apprehensive about safety.
After all, this is a society where women are humble and power is above the rule of law, and there are many places to scruple when going far away.
However, because of him by her side, it can be said that she can go with peace of mind, steadfastly, and without scruples, no matter where she is in the world.
With a move in his heart, Qiao Xiaoru smiled again: "Dongchang is naturally not comparable to our small Suiyun County, I think the doctors there must be more superb, Ah Zhan, maybe your fate is there!" β
The foolish man blinked, but he didn't understand what chance was not, so he just said quietly: "What is the chance?" I want a daughter-in-law first, and then I want a chance! β
If there is any "opportunity" but there is no daughter-in-law, he will never do it!
Qiao Xiaoru couldn't help but "poof", giggled, twisted lightly on his face and smiled: "You guy, let me say something!" β
When the foolish husband saw her laughing, he laughed himself.
wiped a handful of her twisted face, and the silky fingers felt delicate and slightly cool to the touch, which made him greedy. He leaned his face towards her: "Pinch it again, and the daughter-in-law pinch it again!" β
"You real fool!" Qiao Xiaoru couldn't cry or laugh, and couldn't help laughing.
The next day, Qiao Xiaoru and Dugu Yuzhang roughly said which people would go to Dongchang City with her, so that Dugu Yuzhang could make arrangements in his heart, so he and the foolish husband went to say goodbye to Sister Fei's family, and took Wang Bao's foreman out of the city and went home.
Two days later is the auspicious day of the zodiac, it is advisable to break ground, and the foundation is also set for two days later.
Qiao Xiaoru advanced 1,000 taels of silver to Foreman Wang at the beginning, and the silver was in place, and things naturally went smoothly.
In these two days, there is a lot of preparation to be done.
Wang Bao foreman and his party of fifteen people had to find a place to live first.
Naturally, Qiao Xiaoru's family could not provide them with a place to live, so they built a simple shed on the grass between the big trees on the bank of the river at the entrance of the village.
After that, Foreman Wang led people around the foundation, took a simple measurement, and asked Ming Qiao Xiaoru roughly where to build something, and hastily estimated the quantity of masonry, sand, earth, wood, etc., and a batch of them would be transported in the next two days.
Foreman Wang and his entourage attracted countless people to watch the excitement, everyone had already heard that the Lu family was going to build a new house in the third room, but they didn't know how big it was to build.
