Chapter 178 Shop

Because Zhao Er donkey was in the first battle of Liujiabao, his command error caused heavy losses for his sentry, and he was almost destroyed by the officers and soldiers. Fortunately, Zhang Baochang of Liu Jiabao, with more than 30 township soldiers, was fearlessly blocking the pursuit of the officers and soldiers for him, so he was able to lead the remnants to escape to the Liu family. In the fort, fortunately, Xiao Tianjian led his troops to Liujiabao in time and defeated the officers and soldiers in one fell swoop before saving him and the remaining generals.

After Xiao Tianjian found out the reason for his defeat, he scolded him. Although he was not dismissed from his post again to feed the horse, when he rewarded the troops after the war, his reward was still waived by Xiao Tianjian. Seeing that other people had their own rewards, he didn't even get a penny of silver. Zhao Er donkey's heart It was a little unbalanced inside. I didn't think Xiao Tianjian was generous to him. On the contrary, I felt that he was at least on the east bank of the Qinhe River and destroyed hundreds of officers and soldiers. Moreover, in the battle of Liu Jiabao, he also fought to the end. Xiao Tianjian didn't appreciate him at all, and he was really too harsh on him.

Especially after the withdrawal of this battle, he was also laughed at by some people, which made Zhao Erlu feel that he could not hang up and had no face, so he was secretly unhappy.

This time, Xiao Tianjian reorganized the whole Xing Tianjun and integrated his sentry with a sentry, but let Luo Li as the deputy. Zhao Er donkey was even more dissatisfied with the fact that he wanted to be the deputy for Luo Li. In his opinion, among the first people who followed Xiao Tianjian, there is only one left until now. There are Tietou, Feng Gouzi and him. Tietou is the captain of the Guards. Needless to say, he dare not say that Tietou is the No. 2 figure of Xing Tianjun. At least his status is detached. He is not half lower than anyone else. Everyone wants to give him face.

Although Feng Gouzi has left the army and no longer works in the army, he is alone. He is responsible for the detailed management of the Xing Tianjun and the intelligence collection of the whole Xing Tianjun. His status is also very detached, and he can also spend a lot of money, and he doesn't have to work in the army every day. Standard The fat position, and no one's face needs to be looked at, which is also a beautiful scenery.

But he became an embarrassing deputy general. He wanted to see Luo Li's eyes and listen to Luo Li's dispatch. What is Luo Li? Luo Li was just born in a Zhuangding in Fanjiabao. He was captured by Shi Ran and later devoted himself to Xiao Tianjian's men. Now he rides on his head, which makes Zhao Erlu very unhappy.

Besides, Yan Chongxi and Li Shuanzhu, the two generals, were also a little later than he followed Xiao Tianjian. Now they also climbed to him and became the general, but he was the only one who became an embarrassing deputy general, which made him feel a little unable to raise his head.

However, Zhao Erlu is also a city government. He did not show his dissatisfaction with these. He still pretended to be happy, but there was a pimple in his heart, which could not be dispelled.

By the end of July, the summer harvest in the Yangcheng area was basically over, and the earlier winter wheat had been harvested in May, and the remaining spring wheat was basically harvested, with a lot of grain.

Xiao Tianjian also did not collect grain for the first year's harvest of the local people, but took back some of the grain lent to them, and completely handed over the ownership of the farm tools to the farmers. This move naturally won the favor of the people. I'm not very grateful to Xiao Tianjian.

Looking at the yellow grain piled up in the grain tanks in their houses harvested, many people cried on the spot. They said that they had planted it all their lives, but they had never seen that they could leave so much grain. In the past, even if they planted more food, most of them paid rent or It is handed over to the government, and the food I can leave is not enough to make a living. Even so, I often suffer from all kinds of plunders. I am often busy all year, but it is difficult to eat a full meal or two.

But now it's true that I have left so much food. The family can't eat enough food, and there can still be a surplus. The facts are in front of them, but many people are still a little like dreams. I can't believe it's true.

Although Xing Tianjun has listed various measures in the past, divided the fields and borrowed farm tools for them, which is very popular with them. They are also willing to follow Xing Tianjun, but after all, there is always something that is not reassuring. I don't know if the grain planted all over the ground will belong to the harvest. But now, when they see that the warehouse is full of grain, they can't help but believe it.

So after the summer harvest, the local people in Yangcheng worshipped Xing Tianjun to the extent. As long as they see the people of Xing Tianjun, there will kneel down and kowtow to thank them from afar, and every family even want to confess Xiao Tianjian as a living Bodhisattva. Such news spreads and spread. Far away, when the poor people around them heard the news, they also dispelled their doubts. They couldn't wait for Xing Tianjun to fight quickly and divide the land for them and let them live a good life.

The common people are like this. They have no concept of loyalty to the court. They only want to be full of food and warm clothes. Whoever makes them have enough to eat, they are determined to follow whom. The court regards them as dung and dirt. The officials and landlords and gentry only know how to peel from them, regardless of their lives at all, and no one cares about disasters. No one saved the hardship, but Xing Tianjun has only been here for more than half a year, and they have their own fields and food to eat. Under such circumstances, if there are still people who are suspicious of Xing Tianjun, it will be really strange.

At this time, Xiao Tianjian also took the opportunity to start a new business. The reason is that the people have food in their hands, but it does not mean that it solves all their needs. They don't need anything else. The people also have to replace the grain with salt, cloth and other necessary daily necessities. In the past, the people In normal years, after selling the grain, they took money to buy these things in the shops in the county of Jizhen. But now, because of the arrival of Xing Tianjun, the merchants here have run away, and Yangcheng County has also become a lonely city. They can't afford to meet the needs of the people at all. The people have food now. Food, but there was no place to exchange these necessities of life, so I couldn't help but worry again. It was precisely in the area controlled by Xing Tianjun that merchants and salt sergeons did not know Xing Tianjun's attitude towards them, and Xing Tianjun did not allow Yan Xiao to get involved in its jurisdiction, so they did not dare to get involved in the boundary of Yangcheng, which caused here except for food. There was an extreme shortage of goods. In the past, because the people could not even eat, the demand for this was not very urgent. Such contradictions were not highlighted. However, now after the summer harvest, the people have food and want to improve their lives, but there is no place to exchange for these things.

Xiao Tianjian also considered this sudden problem in advance, so Xiao Tianjian looked at this market demand and made Jin Fuzi take the lead. In Xing Tianjun, he found a group of people who had worked for merchants before in the name of Xing Tianjun in several townships. A shop was set up, named Xing Tianjun's supply and marketing point, and then from Xing Tianjun's warehouse, he took out some daily necessities such as salt, cloth, agricultural tools, etc. for sale. At the same time, he contacted Fan Jia and bought a batch of daily necessities to sell, and the sales method was also very simple. The price was clearly marked, and the children were not bullied, and People who come here to buy goods are allowed to exchange goods in the form of barter.

And the price of goods here is very fair. Anyway, most of them are things that Xing Tianjun grabbed before, which is a costless business, so they are sold at a relatively low market price. In this way, as soon as the shops in several townships opened, as soon as the news spread, the customers immediately overflowed, and the people carried their homes after hearing the news. Zhong just harvested the rich grain and came to the store in exchange for these daily necessities. Even the hunters in the surrounding mountains carried a lot of prey and came here to exchange things. The personnel of Xing Tianjun in these shops were immediately busy. In two or three days, the materials prepared in the store were I bought it in short, and I also received a large amount of grain at the same time.

As a last resort, Xiao Tianjian had to send people to contact the Fan family to buy a large number of goods with money, and then send them to various shops for supply to the people. In terms of price, he continued to maintain capital and make small profits to meet the needs of the local people, and Xing Tianjun did not suffer losses and used the surplus food in the hands of the people in the jurisdiction through this The barter trade was received back in their hands.

In this way, for the Fan family, it has also opened up a sales channel and become a secret supplier of Xing Tianjun, and through this transaction, their economic situation has entered a relatively virtuous circle.

Originally, Xiao Tianjian also thought about minting his own coins and issuing Xing Tianjun's military banknotes to obtain money and profits, but considering that their jurisdiction was too small to support such a thing at all, he had to give up and wait for the future to expand to a certain extent before establishing their own financial system.

In order to continue to improve the supply of materials for Xing Tianjun, Xiao Tianjian also asked the Fan family to collect a large number of chicken seedlings, ducks, lambs, pigs and other things from the surrounding areas and put them in the shops for sale, so that the people can exchange these things back for breeding. When they grow up, one is to let the people solve the problem of eating meat. At the same time, it can also be sold to Xing Tianjun to increase their income, and Xing Tianjun can also obtain a relatively stable source of meat supply.

In a word, after the summer harvest, Xiao Tianjian did not feel a little relaxed. The reorganization of the army and the development of business made him dizzy again. Fortunately, in terms of business, he had a capable person who was familiar with the economy like Fan Yutong who could help him, so Xiao Tianjian took Xing Tianjun's business. The matter was handed over to Mr. Jin to take care of, and secretly he simply threw it to Fan Yutong for responsibility.

And Fan Yutong followed her father Fan Yaoshan in the business field since she was a child. After growing up a little, Fan Yaoshan was hopeless to be a son, and he was deliberately cultivated by Fan Yaoshan. He wanted her to be the heir of the Fan family, so he was quite good at business, even if Jin Fuzi, who had been an accountant first. When a born person talks about business in front of Fan Yutong, he can only be willing to bow down. Moreover, Fan Yutong not only knows the way of business, but also can write and calculate. It's not to say that he is a natural talent for business. Xiao Tianjian meets Fan Yutong. How can he not use such a treasure?
