System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

Chapter 243 A paradise for merchants

When Yan Shou, who was far away in Qi State, led a caravan and came all the way to Bashu, most of the envoys from the vassal states were already familiar with the things in the capital and stayed here like a fish in water.

"If I had known it was so lively, we could have tried taking a sea boat." Yan Shou looked at the tall and majestic Xinfucheng, but with the crowds of people. He regretted it in his heart. He might have made more money by talking earlier.

"Qin's ships are called sea ships, and Qi's ships are called boats. Do you dare to sit on them?" Yan Shou's most trusted and beloved servant complained.

Naturally, Yan Shu wouldn’t dare. Life is so beautiful, and if you wish you could live a long life, why would you seek death?

"There are millions of products in Bashu, but are you still worried about what to buy? Are you still hesitating and don't know where to start? Are you still looking for a place to have fun? For only 50 yuan a day, we can take you to visit the city of Bashu ! I guarantee your satisfaction!"

As soon as I entered the city gate, I saw a group of strong men wearing straw hats with a small red sickle flag on their heads and wearing black linen and short brown jackets, loudly soliciting customers.

Before Yan Shou could step forward to ask, a businessman with a Zhao accent squeezed past and asked distrustfully: "What can you do with us?"

"Select goods, find accommodation, introduce the city's regulations, help deal with small disputes, eat, drink and have fun, etc." The energetic young man at the head introduced neatly.

The merchants of the State of Zhao were doubtful and said: "You are trying to trick us into a remote place, where you can kill people and steal goods."

This kind of thing is so common! Especially in small cities, merchants can always hear about one or two murders.

The spirited young man was not angry. He pointed to the small flag above his head and said proudly: "Did you see it? Do you think just anyone can put up a flag? We are registered with the government and are under the jurisdiction of the government. That's right. An experienced tour guide!”

Zhao Guoxingshang was still hesitating, so Yan Shou leaned over and whispered to him, and finally the two decided to go together.

The spirited guy said something ugly beforehand: "You can't split the order, you have to pay twice."

Yan Shou smiled kindly and said: "Don't worry, we just want to have peace of mind. You won't be short of money."

Seeing that the two of them were probably big customers, the spirited young man personally took them around the city: "You can just call me Niu Da. Do the nobles have their own place to live? Do you need a villain to find a place for the nobles?"

Yan Shou and the Zhao merchants looked at each other and said, "I'm sorry, we have a large caravan and we need a bigger place."

Without saying a word, Niu Da led the two of them to the southwest of Fucheng: "This area is close to the city, the rent is cheap, and the yard is larger. Most of the princes and merchants are willing to come here. The north area is occupied by the executive Dagui Yes, there are very few rentals.”

Zhao Guo businessman: "Why is the north so in demand?"

"It's close to the Sheriff's Mansion, and there are schools and hospitals around it. Because land is expensive, since the pre-sale of houses in Fucheng, the residential buildings in that area are 50% higher than those in other areas." Niu Da is obviously an old man, so he is right All of these are understood.

Yan Shou nodded in agreement.

Xinfu City in Bashu is indeed known as the best city in the world. The city is very neatly planned. There are no small vendors on the roadside. It is clean and tidy, making people feel comfortable at a glance.

"You nobles, do you want to take a car? It will take half an hour to walk all the way." Niu Da saw that the two of them were wide and fat, and they didn't seem to be able to walk that far.

"No, we can just sit in our own carriage." Yan Shou sat on the carriage, his fat body pitifully squeezed together with the cargo, and his flesh was deformed.

"Your Excellency, the Commander-in-Chief, has built four large warehouses specifically for the big merchants to provide goods storage services. The charges are low and the safety of the goods is guaranteed." Niu Da looked around at the mighty convoy behind him and felt dizzy for a moment.

Yan Shou's eyes lit up and he said with interest: "Niu Da, please tell us in detail."

After saying that, Yan Shou handed Niu Da a bunch of copper coins, but Niu Da pushed him back.

Niu Dazhengse said: "We have business rules and do not allow tips. The large warehouse charges on a daily basis, but it is not allowed to store valuable or perishable goods. During storage, the warehouse management will strictly review the registration and then give you a sign. Pick up the goods based on the brand. If the goods are damaged due to warehouse reasons, the warehouse will compensate according to the price."

! ! ! Is there such a good thing? Yan Shu's calculations were ringing in his mind. The amount of goods in his caravan was so large that he had to rent several rooms to store the goods. This cost a lot of money and the safety was not guaranteed.

It’s better to store it directly in the warehouse! Just keep some valuable things around you.

"Let's go to the warehouse!" Yan Shou and the Zhao merchants said in unison.

To facilitate merchants, there are two large warehouses on the east and west sides of Fucheng.

Niu Da took them directly to the large warehouse on the west side.

The warehouse management's review was strict and conscientious. What goods, quantity, quality, and purchase price were all recorded in the book. Only after Yan Shou and the Zhao merchants signed and deeded them, did they put them into the warehouse.

"This is the first time it's been so easy." Yan Shou walked lightly, thinking he could spend another afternoon shopping.

Niu laughed and said: "Don't worry, let's go to your residence first and get ready, then I will take you to the West Market."

What Niu Dawei and his wife were looking for were two adjacent courtyards with the same layout and size. They were both stone-tiled houses with large windows. Once they entered the house, it was very spacious and bright.

Niu Da: "The landlord is a very particular person. The windows are all covered with gauze newly produced by the Textile Bureau. It does not affect the light, is mosquito-proof and breathable. We in Bashu have rules and cannot urinate or defecate at will. Outside, there are public toilets. The hut at home will also be cleaned regularly, and it only costs a few cents a time."

Yan Shou looked at the circle of houses carefully, and the workmanship was very meticulous: "All of them belong to the same family? The styles are so similar."

Niu laughed and said: "It was built by the county captain, saying that the cost would be lower. We don't understand this either, just listen to the county captain."

After the Zhao businessman put down his luggage, he ran to the next door and urged: "Let's go shopping in the West Market."

Yan Shou took a look at the sky and saw that it was still early, so he went together.

"What's the difference between the West Market and the East Market?" Yan Shou asked.

Niu Da: "In the original plan, the East Market sold local goods, and the West Market sold foreign goods. Later, businessmen and common people reported that this was very inconvenient, so the Lord Commander changed the plan, and there were no restrictions on the East and West Markets."

Yan Shou and the merchants of Zhao State were astonished. In a place like Qin State, which emphasizes agriculture and suppresses business, there are still local officials who value merchants so much?

Before reaching the West Market, the already crowded streets became even more crowded.

Niu Da handed the two a rope: "Hold the rope and don't get separated."

Yan Shou held the rope hesitantly. This scene was so similar to when he was buying a slave, but he took the initiative to hold the rope.

Zhao Guoxingshang was pushed around by the crowd and asked with difficulty: "In the past, were there so many people in the West Market?"

Niu Da, as the name suggests, is as strong as an ox. He opened the way and barely squeezed out a narrow aisle for the two of them: "Aren't there people from all six countries here?"
