Chapter 74 Lvda opens the market
Dongjiang is remote and has no owed money, but apart from saving up or leaving it to your family, the officers and soldiers really have nowhere to spend it.
Zhu Youxiao also knew about the situation in Dongjiang and believed that this closure was not conducive to the development of Dongjiang and was not conducive to the national finance.
According to the current rationing system model, the court must always invest, and the economic benefits created by the military and civilians in Dongjiang cannot be reflected!
Therefore, letting Dongjiang gradually restore normal economic activities like other places began before this year's New Year's Festival.
Supply and Marketing Cooperative, a product with a strange name appeared in front of the Ming Dynasty hundreds of years in advance.
First, we opened in Luda and Pidao, and there were not many varieties of goods, but it was still a sensational event for the military and civilians of Dongjiang who had been remote overseas.
The Lushun Fort is full of military supplies, and for safety, ordinary people are not allowed to enter at will. The supply and marketing cooperative is located in a small village not far from the fort, and future plans will also become a market.
Cotton silk, daily necessities, tobacco, alcohol, grain, tea, sauce, vinegar and seasonings, and there are not too many products, but the sales with clear price tags are still quite lively.
Not only the local people, but also the residents from the island, as well as the officers and soldiers who were resuming on the rotation. The soldiers had just paid the military pay and came to see if they were in use. It would be good to go for a short while.
It took so long for them to visit the market. Yingzi and A Tao, who had never bought anything, widened their eyes, looked around, and exclaimed in surprise.
"This cloth looks so beautiful." A Tao stared at the colorful silk without blinking, envious and regretful.
Yingzi also liked it, but she also knew that it was not something that poor families could afford. She interrupted the story: "Look at how thick this cotton cloth is, it's from Songjiang, right?"
A Tao reluctantly withdrew her gaze, reached out and touched her, and said, "Thick is thick, but the color is too plain."
Seeing that Yingzi had brought back the attention of her good sisters, she called her to buy some needles, thread and cotton.
"Don't they use silver?" A Tao looked curiously at a soldier who bought cigarettes and alcohol with silver dollars, and retrieved a small silver dollar and some copper coins.
The guy smiled and explained: "Yes, that was the silver dollar that the imperial court had just cast before the New Year, and was used with silver. The military pay paid by Dongjiang Town is the new silver dollar, and the soldiers like it very much."
Yingzi blinked and asked, "Can you show us?"
"Okay!" The guy agreed happily, and took two silver dollars, one big and one small, and showed them to the girls, "Look, the one printed on this big dollar is the Master."
"Long live the master!" A Tao squeezed across his head and stared at him with wide eyes.
Yingzi looked through the silver dollar, loved it for its exquisiteness, and asked, "Is this only money available in the future?"
"Now it is a common dollar, so I guess I can only use silver dollars in the future." The guy smiled and pointed, "You can exchange silver for silver dollars in the house over there. Of course, you can do it if you don't change it."
The Dongjiang Army issued a full amount of money to silver dollars, which was also for the purpose of saving.
Think about it, if you send the silver, you have to transport it back to mint coins in the future. The transportation will be very expensive. You can simply exchange it all for silver dollars and set up a exchange point to gradually exchange the silver from the people and officers and soldiers, killing two birds with one stone.
Yingzi reluctantly returned the silver dollars to the client, picked up the goods, took out a piece of broken silver, and said, "The total is five cents and seven cents per cent, I'm just one tael of silver."
The guy smiled and nodded, praising: "My wife is so fast, what about these five or six commercial products!"
A Tao urged him in a hurry: "You can find money quickly, four cents, two cents, nine cents, don't find any difference."
The shopkeeper at the counter came over, looked at it, walked over, and ordered the clerk: "Pule a cent and find four cents and three cents."
After saying that, he smiled and said to the two girls, "The two little ladies are locals. Are you interested in coming to our store to sell goods? They are responsible for the food and pay for their wages."
Yingzi and A Tao looked at each other, a little confused, and did not answer immediately.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "The shopkeeper is not here. If he is away for a long time, there will be many inconveniences. Therefore, I have decided to recruit people locally. I think the two of you settle the score quickly, which is quite appropriate."
Oh, then you understand. Guys don’t want to stay in this remote place for a long time. No one wants to leave their homes and relatives!
"Then-" A Tao rolled his eyes and asked, "How much is the salary you pay!"
The shopkeeper reached out to get the silver dollar, paused on "Zhu Xiaotou", but picked up the "half-yuan" dragon coin, showed it to the two girls, and said with a smile: "Give one a month, and you can only add six big yuan a year. You still care about food, just make money."
Yingzi's eyes lit up, staring at the "half-yuan" dragon coins, and almost nodded in agreement.
"Don't you rest after working for many years?" A Tao was also quite moved, but still asked.
The shopkeeper smiled, a little cunning, and said, "Stay for three days a month, and it's the New Year, five days a day." After that, he added, "The ministers in the court have only five days off for the New Year!"
Yingzi was about to nod, but A Tao secretly pulled her and said to the shopkeeper: "Let's do this, we have to discuss with our family and then reply to you."
The shopkeeper smiled and nodded, saying, "It's better not to be late. There is no reply until the sixth day of the first lunar month, so we won't ask."
After saying that, he asked his friend to take two door god paintings and give them to Yingzi and A Tao.
The two girls thanked each other and turned around and left.
"On the sixth day of the lunar month, they are anxious to go home to celebrate the Lantern Festival!" A Tao said with a lip and said, "If you don't look down on our place, you can't live for a long time."
Yingzi nodded and said, "No one wants to leave his hometown, everyone wants to be with his family!"
"I want me to tell you, give me one Yuan a month, and they may be able to agree."
A Tao's eyes flashed with a little bit of cunning, raised her eyebrows, shook the New Year painting paper tube in her hand, and complained: "Just give Zhang Hua, we have so many families that we can't sell even if we keep it."
Yingzi laughed and said, "Then you don't want it!"
"Why don't you want to give it for free?" A Tao laughed and said, "I want to go to the Yuan Dynasty to make fun of the New Year."
Although the Liao people relocated, although their families suffered heavy losses, it was not too rare to carry money and other things with them.
Yingzi agreed and said, "I want to change to Xiaoyuan and make up a lottery with you. That dragon leader looks so fierce, can he suppress evil, right?"
"This method is good, I'll change it too." A Tao clapped his hands.
Yingzi rolled her eyes, as if she suddenly remembered something, and said to A Tao: "Oh, I forgot to buy medicinal materials for my father."
"Then I'll go with you!" A Tao said.
Yingzi shook her head and said, "I won't bother you anymore. I don't know if I can find it yet? In this way, after an hour, we meet at the entrance of the village and go back to the village together."
A Tao thought it was OK, and happened to see another sister from the same village, so she waved her hand to Yingzi, ran and chased after her.
Yingzi breathed a sigh of relief and turned to the other direction.
At the entrance of the village, she finally saw a familiar figure, waiting there looking around!
