When Pan Geng moved to Yin, I initiated Jian Shang

Chapter 349 Encouraging Faithfulness
Wu Zhongmi was on his way after asking about Xin Qu's whereabouts.

Yuyang Market.

Che Baihu and the people from the Che tribe in the mountains looked around here.

"Three bamboo coins at the stall." A young man dressed as a slave touched his pocket and took out the bamboo coins, hoping to buy three feet of linen cloth.

The stall owner raised his eyebrows: "Looking at the way you are dressed, you are a slave out to rest, right? If you don't go to clean the kiln, why do you come to buy cloth from me? Bribery? That won't work."

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you saying? Who will you sell your private fabrics to? Besides, who told you that I was going to bribe you? Isn't this an order from above? I'm almost finished here. By the end of the month I have to be transferred to the east to dredge the Luanshui River. Winter is coming soon. I will pull a piece of cloth, get some cashmere scraps, and sew a wrap."

The slave smiled dryly and glanced at him up and down the stall. Although there was still a bit of disdain in his eyes, he still sold it and said: "Yes, three bamboo coins, two feet."

"Two feet... is okay. I'll give you six, and you can pull four feet." The slave touched his pocket and took out a few bamboo coins. After both parties had money and goods, he went to the stall next door to buy needlework.

The needles are bone needles and the threads are hemp, thick or thin, but the price is pretty decent.

When the man walked to the door, he suddenly saw a group of people approaching, headed by a car, one carrying the flag of the Yingyang County Yamen. He was startled and quickly knelt on the ground towards the left side of the car.

"What is this for?" Che Baihu was startled. The driver of the car took one look and said: "When traveling in the county government car, as long as the flag is hung in cities, cities, townships, eups, villages, and communities, slaves You have to kneel when you see him, you have to bow when you are a naturalized person, common people, countrymen, and scholars bow to each other, and officials are the first to have the qualification to stand on the car without showing courtesy. If they are walking on the road, they should stop and watch.

You have been out for a while, and the rules within the clan have changed.

Even this slave has a vacation and points for good work, so his life is much easier. "

Che Baihu was slightly startled and said, "But didn't we see other people on the way? Didn't they all..."

"It's different. Heretics govern production, so there is no need to salute. It is a first-class sin to affect production. That's why you need to stand on the roadside to salute on the roads in the city. The titles are strict and the etiquette is different. Don't make a mistake. .

The punishment for transgression is not light, ranging from flogging to deprivation of a knighthood, and even more serious, the death penalty. "

The charioteer continued to answer and waited for them to leave.

The slave heaved a sigh of relief and stood up, then looked at the naturalized man Che Baihu in the car with envy. He must have done some meritorious service and was brought here to be seen and rewarded. He might be promoted to a commoner next time he meets again.

I'm jealous!
If only I could have a chance to go to the battlefield.

Che Baihu could detect the envy and jealousy of the naturalized people who were bowing around him, and when they saw his waistband and rank, he felt a sense of pride inexplicably.

So, this is the benefit of the title?
Of course, Che Baihu knew that what the other party envied was not his title, but the flag next to him.

The five seal script flags fluttering at the Yamen of Yingyang County represent the highest point of all rights in the county with the Xin family.

Even if you are a doctor, as long as you are not driving, you have to stop and wait for the car to pass.

This is the rule set by the Xin family.

Foreign tribal merchants are all treated as naturalized people and must bow down.

Otherwise, you will either stay in the stall and not come out to do business, or you will get out of the Xin family's territory, and your chance of doing business will be wiped out.

Anyway, after walking all the way, Che Baihu got out of the car and straightened his waist a little.

The other members of the Shanli Che tribe who followed him also felt the power of the Youxin clan for the first time.

There were more than 600 people in this market, all in an orderly manner, all the way to the city center in the core area.

Official measuring instruments can be seen at the door. Someone is testing whether the items purchased with official measuring instruments and private instruments are of sufficient weight.

Xinqu was watching from the side.

Fortunately, this time, the private weapon was given a few more points. The private weapon stall pointed at the person who spoke and yelled at him as a bastard and slander, hoping to make an arbitrage by punishing him for weighing.

The city manager ignored their quarrel and confiscated two-tenths of the goods that were measured, and let the person who measured the goods take away the rest.

Xin's current market management is simple and crude.

Xin Qu decided on the official measuring instruments, and everyone had to customize them according to the official measuring instruments.

If someone says that the weight you gave is wrong, come to the market to verify it.

As long as the shortage exceeds a certain amount, the stall owner will have to pay ten times the compensation, and the market will charge [-]% of the compensation. If it is a misunderstanding or false accusation, the market will charge [-]% of the compensation from the customer.

Then the buyer stands still and gets scolded. He can be scolded by the stall owner no matter what he wants, as long as he doesn't fight.

The stall owner is full of anger. Once he has vented his anger, he can leave.

The buyer will then be banned from the market for three months, which will be engraved on the back of his ID tag, and his profile will also be kept on file.

If you come to the market within three months and are discovered, then unfortunately, you will be banned for one year.

If he comes again, he will be sentenced to a month of torture.

Anyway, just keep adding more punishments, and one day the punishment will accumulate until you lose your head.

Of course, if you think there is something wrong with the city's official measuring instruments, you can report it to Changping, who will arrange for someone to come down and deal with it.

In short, in this austere age, any action has an associated cost.Rights and obligations are basically equal.

If you question it, you will be scolded.

As for the stall owners, as long as they are found out once, they will be fined for a month and not allowed to leave the stall, twice for one year, and three times they will be directly sentenced to fraud, their title will be taken away, they will be demoted to slaves, and they will be allowed to reopen.

Xin Qu attaches great importance to the economic cycle of the Xin family, because he knows very well that the only thing that the Xin family can produce now is agricultural surplus, but it is only the agricultural surplus at this stage.

Starting last year, when the Xin family had time to expand, they assigned a large number of female slaves to go out. A group of female slaves have given birth, which means that the number of people in each household is increasing.

In the future, although Xin's manpower will increase, it also means that there will be insufficient agricultural surplus for more than ten years.

Because you have to raise your children until they are five years old and start to have the energy to help work in the fields, then you can start to have agricultural surplus output.

And within five years, you will still be alive.

Generally speaking, after about ten years of giving birth, there will be exactly five or six children, the land will be fully matured, the population will be large enough, and the manpower will be abundant, so that the rest of the children will be born again.

Unless Xin's agricultural technology advances by leaps and bounds and can get chemical fertilizers to spread every day, the current agricultural surplus will disappear in the future and become human capital.

Therefore, the past few years are very important. They are the key point for Xinqu to popularize currency. Whether he can get rid of shell coins and issue his own credit currency depends on his next operation.

Therefore, Xin Qu paid close attention to the fair scale in the market.

"Clan leader, Che Baihu is here." Xinqu turned around after hearing this.

I saw a middle-aged man walking up excitedly and tremblingly. He knelt down in front of Xin Qu in a few steps and kowtowed: "Head of the clan!!!"

At this time, Che Baihu was trembling and very excited when he saw Xin Qu.

Xinqu was also slightly stunned. To be honest, his memory was not bad. The last time they met, Che Baihu was already a naturalized human being, so he was naturally dressed much better than an ordinary slave.

Compared with then, Che Baihu now might not even be as good as a slave.

Because of the clothes on his body... and the appearance of him coming here after a long journey, we can see... the suffering in the mountains.

"Thank you for your hard work." Xin Qu bent down to help him up and patted the dust on his shoulders. "Come on, come in with me. Over the years, you have done a lot for the Xin family! Regardless of whether there are any results or not , if you are willing to come back and I have the Xin family, it proves that I have the Xin family and it is worth your efforts.

Pay and I will reward you. "

"Patriarch! I...I have always believed...always believed in your justice!" Che Baihu cried, very loudly, who knows how he has persisted all these years.

Apart from the cake drawn by Xin Qu, the only thing he could trust was Xin Qu's "integrity". Unexpectedly...unexpectedly, Xinqu actually supported him without asking anything else, just saying that he recognized his efforts.

This...is considered a corporal of courtesy in a sense.

Che Baihu’s persistence is meaningful!
Xinqu comforted him, took him in, cleaned him up, and then without asking anything else, he gave him a separate "household registration" the next day.

And personally put a wooden sign on him as "common man".

Regardless of whether it is a show or not, in the Yuyang Market, people from any house, and even slaves taking turns to rest at nearby construction sites, will regard Che Baihu as a role model.

"This is loyalty! You treat the Xin family with loyalty and trust, and the Xin family will prosper with you."

Xinqu began to preach loyalty.

Don’t ask why, because it works!The Xin family is a mixed system of many tribes. Currently, it only has titles and a primitive state. The system is not much improved, so Xinqu must create an imaginary body to bring everyone together.

Filial piety, loyalty, propriety, justice and integrity.

This is very useful!

Just like Ami, the first step of naturalization is to take an oath to take up arms against the mother country in time of war.

After finishing the scene work, Xin Qu asked Che Baihu to rest, but Che Baihu didn't want to rest, but told Xin Qu what he had discovered.

"Twenty miles east of Chishi Mountain, there is a mountain buried in the ground with one head exposed. I dug down for half a month and discovered that there is an iron ore underground that the clan leader said!"

Che Baihu tore off his old clothes and took out a piece of iron sample that he had sewn into the clothes.

Xinqu took it, checked it carefully, and then took out his ferromanganese knife. There was a bang as the iron stone and the knife were attracted: "Yes, magnetite."

It seems that Che Baihu has found Shouyun Iron Mine.

I just don’t know the iron ore content, but I’ve heard that Shouyun Iron Ore contains low sulfur and phosphorus, is easy to mine, and should be much less difficult to smelt.

Roasting should be able to produce pig iron, and the subsequent solution will be solved by frying steel.

"Okay, then I'll give you a task. Take the people over there and mine some samples. I'll take a look."

"Yes!"
