Villager of Daming

Chapter 1134 Guankou registration is really hard

For the first time, the officials of Gaizhou County knew how the passing economy developed. It was true that they were not making money by staying here. If it were not for the help of sergeants, they would still have a headache in local governance.

This place is too far away from the Ming Imperial City. When the Yuan Dynasty was around, the distance was not bad, and it was in Peiping.

There were Jurchens coming to Gaizhou County, and there were also people who had fled elsewhere due to the war. It was very difficult to manage. The population had to be counted and the land had to be distributed.

Those who came later obviously could not get good land, and the fertile land must have been occupied by the people who lived before.

Until eighty sergeants arrived and began to help adjust what the people were doing. Instead of farming all the land, those who should raise tussah silkworms would raise tussah silkworms and the department stores would collect them.

They also arranged for people to cooperate with the Ming Dynasty navy to deal with the fish, but the department store collected it.

The sergeant organized people to pick mushrooms by hand. Last winter, he set up pheasants and rabbits in the mountains, and also cleaned up wild boars.

"Your Highness, department stores have done a lot of help to the people. Even the previously worthless things can be sold at high prices, only to be seen being shipped away and then shipped over from other places.

The big iron pot is the favorite of the people. A family of about ten people can stew one pot of food without having to wait separately to eat.

Department stores allow people to borrow money on credit, so in the winter they eat pheasant stewed with mushrooms, without adding anything else but a little salt. The more they eat, the more delicious they become, and..."

The county magistrate Ma Fei may have gotten excited after taking a big sip of wine, or he may have finally found an opportunity and person to speak his mind to, where he talked about the good things about the department store.

He knows how much everything costs, and it seems that he goes in there a lot on weekdays. Whether to buy it or not is a secondary matter. The key is to see a lot of things and satisfy your eyes.

Zhu Xiang narrowed his eyes when he heard this. He was responsible for the department store. Others praised the store, which proved that he was very capable.

"Your Highness, the pickles in the department store are delicious, they are simply amazing, and it says "Jubiqi" on them, which is amazing.

There are many kinds of them, some are noodles, some are crispy, and the taste is also different.

It's more delicious than the sauce we make ourselves. Our miso always has a bad smell, but Jubiqi's does not. "

Ma Fei finally emphasized pickles and miso alone, Jubiqi! It is impossible to open a Jubiqi store here and just sell it in a department store.

Zhu Xi continued to be happy. Ju Biqi was also in charge. Why was he so powerful? Why haven't I noticed this before... Ugh! In the past, when people from Xiaqiu Village were compared to each other, who would praise themselves? Now that we are outside, it is naturally different.

"You're right! That's what our second brother is responsible for, including the department store and Jubiqi. We helped when we were in Yingtianfu! There are a lot of accounts throughout the day, and there are various local department stores that need to be answered. Store receipts and replenishment issues.”

The fifth child, Zhu Rui, was standing by to point out the direction. That was all his business.

The officials looked at Zhu Ping with admiration in their eyes.

"I never thought that His Highness would be in charge." County Magistrate Niu Jinde looked surprised: "With so many things, His Highness must be working very hard."

Other officials all echoed, sincerely. They had to keep accounts and get things, their salaries were not enough, and they couldn't pick mushrooms like the common people.

They are allowed to take credit, and each person has a separate account. No one has ever asked them to settle the account, so they are afraid of making mistakes when doing things.

Everyone understands that unless something goes wrong, a debt will always be a debt. Even when you get promoted, the debt may be accidentally burned because it is not managed properly! But if something goes wrong, someone will ask you to pay back the money.

"Well... let me briefly tell you what's inside. Besides those, see if there's anything else you want. Let's start with the non-metallic ones..."

Zhu Fang felt that the other party didn't believe it, so he started to talk about the products in the department store here, and reported them all, just like reporting the names of dishes. After the last dish, no, the last product was finished, Zhu Xi looked at the team in Xiaqiu Village. The people there nodded, saying that's right, that's all.

To assign something to the department store here, Xiaqiu Village provides catalogs.

The officials were dumbfounded again. They had seen it today. Why did the prince still need to remember so many things? I don’t remember everything, so I go in and wander around every day!
Zhu Ming took a big gulp of beer and started to sweat. He was so tired.

"Your Highness, these things are placed very well, and the people like them. I have something unclear. I heard that there are cosmetic boxes and small mirrors elsewhere, but we have not seen them here."

Ma Fei followed up and took a sip of beer. He wanted a makeup box for his woman, which was not available in the department store.

"There are some in the warehouse, but they haven't been sold yet. I'll give you a few sets for each of you later. Those are for the Jurchen leaders. They have money and use things in exchange.

You can't afford it, let alone the people of Gaizhou County. Solve the problem of food and clothing first, and then strive for a well-off life.

These products are all from the list given by Xiaqiu Village. Whatever is given by Xiaqiu Village will be available in the local department stores.

Similarly, Xiaqiu Village also has a list when it comes to local specialties.

The function of department stores is to stabilize local economic development and naturally coordinate and organize the acquisition of production resources and social and economic activities including rough processing.

For example, when the Beiyuan was first conquered, merchants were needed to transport things. After obtaining salt leads, they were given salt to sell, which was equivalent to giving benefits to the merchants.

Now there is no need for businessmen to take care of big things. Businessmen can find business opportunities by themselves. If there is demand in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, department stores will understand it first and then report it to them. We will solve it. If we can't solve it, ask Xiaqiu Village. "

Zhu Fang told the officials why the cosmetic case mentioned by the merchant here was too expensive and could not be sold. Other small items could be given to the officials on credit, but the cosmetic case was not guaranteed and the sergeants could not make the decision.

Come here today and give as many sets as you like. You know that there are many women officials and many men die in wars. What should women do? If you pay some money, you can find one.

For example, Ma Fei, the county magistrate, has two concubines. His wife cannot take care of them, but the concubine's family is very happy. If something good happens, the magistrate will think of his own family.

For example, when picking mushrooms, the daughter of the family got the news and quickly came back to tell her that pine mushrooms are good and hazel mushrooms are also good, but the most expensive ones are yellow mud dumplings. Sticky dumplings are the most visited by bugs, and the slightly larger ones will definitely be eaten. The bugs got in.

You have to work hard to peel the mushrooms when drying them. Otherwise, people won’t pick them, so they only take them home when there are no other mushrooms.

I got the news in advance and took my family into the mountains to pick mushrooms, specifically looking for places where there were many yellow mud dumpling mushrooms. After taking them home, I immediately peeled and dried them.

When the mushrooms were harvested and they were taken out, others discovered that mushrooms that they usually didn't want were so expensive.

Pine mushrooms and hazel mushrooms are cheaper because everyone picks them in large quantities. When everyone picks up the yellow mud dumplings and sells them, there are more of them and the price drops.

Fortunately, the price drop is not much. It depends on the quantity of mushrooms. When the mushrooms are the most, they will be discounted in half. No matter how much there is, the price will not drop. The department store will stabilize the price, otherwise the people will suffer.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Ma Fei and others thanked them.

Turning his head, Ma Fei looked at the chief: "Chief Zhu, you are worried about the affairs of the county."

At this moment, he finally knew how much power the sergeant said in Xiaqiu Village, and he couldn't afford to offend him.
