Cao Qi observed the money house for five days, and there were endless people coming to deposit every day. There were ordinary people and wealthy businessmen. Conservatively, he had accumulated 3 million yuan of wealth in the past few days. It is hard to estimate how much money he would have when the market officially operated.

Cao Guojiu was also worried that his family’s wealth of tens of millions of yuan each year was too eye-catching, but when he saw Wang Ning'an, he knew what it means to turn stones into gold, and wealth could rival a country!

With only a dozen housekeepers and dozens of people working in the business, countless people brought in with money. In comparison, the Cao family is so weak.

When we return to Tokyo, should we also set up a stall? There are so many rich people in Beijing than in Pingxian. If everyone comes in with money, how shocking it would be!

Cao Guojiu's eyes were filled with strings of copper coins, as if he was crazy... Wang Ning'an didn't care at all. Cao Daguojiu, you'd better do this. It won't take long, and the little money from the Cao family would be enough to fill in!

It is so easy to open a money house just by seeing a thief eating meat but not being beaten?

You must have the right time, place, and people, but you cannot be lacking.

The so-called time is the market and the Maritime Mansion Department. Anyone who knows a little bit of business will see that Pingxian has endless potential in the future, including Maritime Mansion Bank and taxation. Businesses and travelers from all over the country will pour in, which will boost land prices. If you invest in Pingxian, you will not lose money no matter how you look at it.

As for the geographical location, thanks to the flood, 95% of the people in Ping County were victims. A flood washed away all their property and all the constraints and bonds... There is no distinction between scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, and high and low. Every people in Ping County want to make money to support their families. Whoever makes money the most is capable.

The original clans, fellow villagers, gentry, officials, and even the statues of the gods in the temple were gone. The people were completely lightly in battle and used their own hands to create the future on the ruins. Obviously, it was much easier to create on a piece of white paper than to draw paper full of color.

Speaking of Renhe, we have to mention our wise Magistrate Wang. He did not rush to recruit official servants or accept Bao Zheng's gifts, but instead activated the students of the Six Arts School without hesitation.

It seems like a group of little babies, the oldest is only in his twenties. What can they do?

It’s true that these little guys are just useful!

When everyone discussed establishing a county based on industry and commerce, they quickly decided to build a city that was easy to do business. It seemed natural, but it was a shocking place in the Song Dynasty!

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, businessmen, businessmen were always at the top. Even if the society in the Song Dynasty was open, the status of merchants was not very high. In other places, a group of adults were replaced and they asked them to serve merchants and open the door to convenience for business. It was simply unreasonable, and no one would agree.

But these little guys who are not very familiar with the world don’t care. The court relies on scholars and spares no expense to support scholars. Pingxian needs merchants, so naturally he has to treat merchants well.

From entering the county, it provides convenience to merchants.

They also spared no expense to build four dials. The so-called dials were originally just cargo warehouses, but later developed into trading places with various functions. Wang Yuanbao, the richest man in the Tang Dynasty, started his business by opening a dial.

The di shops in Pingxian are even more different. In addition to food, clothing, housing, transportation, and various enjoyment, there are also various product information. As long as you walk around the hall, you can see everything at a glance.

In addition, a brand new trading method has been created here.

For example, if a silk merchant wants to sell 100 pieces of silk, the clerk who works in the residence will first check the goods to ensure the quality, and then the clerk will truthfully describe the goods and post them in the notice board.

At this time, the merchant who needs this goods can put the price he paid into the wooden box under the notice board.

Settlement every half day. If multiple people bid, the goods will be the one who has the highest price. Of course, there is also a situation where everyone pays less than the price they want to sell. Even if the bid is lost, the merchant can redeem his goods, take them away, or reprice them.

According to Didian's rules, only 15% of the taps will be charged only if the transaction is completed, 10% of which will be paid as transaction tax and paid to the county treasury, and the remaining half of the amount will be used as the income of Didian.

Cao Qi also went to the dial shop to see it. This method was really wonderful. It took care of both the buyer and the seller. It was so convenient. He negotiated the business while walking around in the garden, eating, drinking and having fun.

Can businessmen not be willing to come?

Look, there are many merchants with southern accents gathered in the dials in Pingxian County, mostly in Jiangnan and Lianghuai Riverside. In the rest, there are many merchants rushing to Pingxian County.

In the past, most merchants in the south took the canal transportation and delivered goods to the capital. Bianjing first consumed countless goods, and then transported the remaining goods to Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places... Since Ping County established the Maritime Warehouse Department, Hu in the capital was cut off.

Silk, tea and porcelain from the south of the Yangtze River can be directly taken by sea and landed in Pingxian.

The shipping in the Song Dynasty was already very developed, and there was no problem going south to Southeast Asia or even to India. It was even more of a piece of cake to go to Ping County.

If the goods go by sea, they can bypass the tax cards on the canal. Even if there is a little loss, it is completely acceptable.

After arriving in Pingxian, there are more options available, which can be sold to Khitans through the court, or can be transferred to Hebei through Pingxian.

The most important thing is that the candles, soaps, liquors, fur products, wood, jewelry, medicines, etc. in Pingxian are all needed by Jiangnan.

Whenever you come and go, the boat is not empty, and the profit is huge. Some people even estimate that they can make an average of 50% of the profits between the exchanges. If you go twice, you will earn the capital.

Can businessmen in the world not gather in Pingxian?

After arriving in Ping County, I found that everything was convenient for food, clothing, housing and transportation. The officials were harmonious and efficient. In order to rush work, all workshops were hardworking day and night. They were also convenient for hiring labor. In addition, the convenience of the money shop!

Oh my god, it is simply a paradise for businessmen!

Looking at the Song Dynasty, there is no more vibrant place than Pingxian.

Merchants gathered, with logistics, financial flow, and popularity... Pingxian was like taking Shiquan Dafu pills, developing rapidly, almost one day, and in a few months, it actually had a night market!

You heard it right, it’s the night market!

You should know that in this era, except for Tokyo Bianliang, other cities are all dark and there is no nightlife at all.

Less than a year after the county was established, Pingxian had a prosperous night market. On both sides of the street, there were lanterns hanging upside down on the towering wooden pillars. These lanterns were illuminated by wax and were filled with candles regularly to ensure that the streets were extremely bright at all times.

Such a grand occasion is definitely a miracle!

The people set up snack stalls along the street, and all kinds of foods with colors, fragrance and flavor caused the customers to linger. Many people who cannot do heavy work also make living expenses by selling snacks.

Although I am old, I cannot be ruined.

Pingxian does not raise a useless person, as long as he can still work, he has to work. In the past two years of famine, there is a loud slogan: No food is allowed without labor!

Even if the children feel sorry for their elders and are unwilling to let them show up in public, the wind and sun are exposed, the elderly will use this trick to deal with them. If they don’t let them go out, they will not eat. Don’t worry about how powerful the children are. When they encounter this trick, they will surrender obediently...

People who have not experienced the famine will never be able to experience the horror of hunger. The people of Ping County use crazy labor to dispel the fear in their hearts.

After making money, their favorite thing is to go to a grain store, such as hardworking squirrels who keep moving grain to their homes and have to save at least three months of food for the family to be at peace.

...

"I really didn't expect that in the short scene, Pingxian actually had the smell of capital. Wang Erlang was really amazing!" Yan Shu sat in the private room of the teahouse, looking at the bustling streets, and exclaimed sincerely.

Opposite him, Fan Zhongyan, whose hair and beard were white, smiled faintly.

"Compared with the capital, I think it's better?"

"Brother Xiwen, how can you explain this?"

Fan Zhongyan put down the teacup and sighed, "Almost everyone in Pingxian works, relying on their hands to make money, high-spirited, upward, energetic and vitality! In contrast, the capital seems to be in a twilight state, officials, nobles, royal relatives, eunuchs, imperial guards... After layer by layer, they never rely on their own efforts, but rely on the support of all parties. It is like unworthy descendants who earn money without work and eat at home for a lifetime. How can it be admired?"

Even when he was in seclusion, Fan Zhongyan did not change his sharp temper. Yan Shu certainly felt the same way, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The capital is not an unfilial son, but a great master, the great master of the Qingtian who was pressing on the people of the Song Dynasty!"

Fan Zhongyan sighed again and walked helplessly to the window. On the road outside, pedestrians kept shuttled. Suddenly, a peddler who was pushing a wheelbarrow accidentally, the car overturned, and the red dates in the sack were sprinkled out.

It happened to be passed by a student from Liuyi. He hurriedly greeted everyone and helped the peddler pick up all the red dates. The sack was released, and he quickly found someone to borrow hemp rope and sew it again, and then he smiled and sent the peddler away.

Fan Zhongyan saw it and suddenly felt aroused in his heart.

"This is what the court officials should look like!"

Fan Zhongyan suddenly felt a lot of emotion, "Wrong, we are all wrong, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. We have always thought that scholars are high above, assisting the emperor, and servicing the people. They are the darlings of heaven and born nobles. In fact, it is not the case that farmers farm, workers make tools, merchants communicate with the north and south, and transport goods... What did scholars do? They just sit and enjoy their achievements!"

Yan Shu was a little dissatisfied with him, "Brother Xiwen is so serious. If there is no scholar to manage it, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"

"This is true, but even if scholars have made merit, they cannot rank above others, act as a mighty person, and enjoy endless care, right? That is all the rich blood and sweat of the people. Ask yourself, do we feel guilty?" Fan Zhongyan asked with heartache.

Yan Shu hesitated a little, but could only nod and praised: "Brother Xiwen has realized the truth."

"It's a pity that it's too late, and the future can only be placed on young people." Fan Zhongyan said sincerely.
