"Erlang Erlang, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Why did you arrive at this time? Look at the sun is so high!" In front of the Sansi Shop near Tianjin Bridge, Xiqing stretched her neck to look at Sun Erlang who was rushing to the bus in front, and jumped straight to her feet with joy.

Uncle Peng San stopped the donkey cart in front, Sun Erlang jumped out of the car, ran to the front of the festive festival, and said with a smile: "I miss you too! But my house is not close to this, so it's not easy to come."

Xiqing held Sun Erlang's hand and said to him: "Let's go, I'll treat you to a bowl of cold-sauté. Now Qiuhu is still very hot and tastes just right. In a few days, I'm afraid it won't be suitable for eating."

"No hurry, move the goods first."

Xiqing was not willing to do so, so she pulled Sun Erlang to leave and said, "What's the hurry? Just move again when you come back! At this time, you have to stay in the city for one night, and you can't leave immediately."

Sun Erlang turned around and greeted Uncle Peng San and went with joy with joy.

Uncle Peng San watched the two of them leave with a smile, drove the donkey cart to the shop, unloaded the donkey, and tied it to a wooden stake on one side to drink water. He turned around and saw that there were only a few people in the small wine shop, and he slowly turned over.

Although Zhengzhou also opened a shop in Sansi some time ago, the goods inside were not complete. Especially for poor people, there were not many daily necessities. The business and sales club in Heyinman County had to buy goods to Luoyang City, Xijing.

Every month and a half, everyone put the goods they were going to enter, and lined up a family to buy goods in Xijing. Poor families don’t pay much attention to the road anyway. The donkeys brought the fodder and the dry food. Now in this weather, they basically don’t even stay in a store, so they put the bedding in the car at night and then slept. It took a lot of time to travel, but the travel fee was not much. After entering the goods from the shop of Sansi, they went back, and each company distributed them and could sell them for a month.

The business and sale club does not aim at making profits. They are all people who join the club work in shifts and count their wages based on time. The wages they get are not much, and they can only make up for the farm work they have delayed. What attracts people to join the club is to share the profits regularly according to the transaction quota. In fact, everyone gets the goods at the cost price.

Under the natural economic form, for farmers, money is scarce. This does not depend on how much money is issued, but the cost of exchange is too high for farmers. They would rather use the form of exchange of goods. These trading clubs collect physical goods from members, and some local specialties are transported to Sansi Shop to sell them in exchange for their own necessities of life.

This is the significance of the existence of the supply and marketing cooperative system. When the commodity economy is not yet developed, all aspects of society should be included in the commodity economy as much as possible to minimize transaction costs. When the commodity economy develops and professional merchants' efficiency exceeds this system, the system will naturally disappear.

When I arrived at the wine shop, Uncle Peng San ordered the cheapest bowl of liquor and a small plate of pickles. The servant placed it on the table.

After picking up the bowl, Uncle Peng San smelled the fragrance of the wine, took a sip, and closed his eyes intoxicatedly.

Working in the fields day and night, drinking a sip of strong wine after completion to relieve fatigue is really the best enjoyment in the world. But wine is made from grain, and grain is the lifeblood of farmers. Farmers cannot drink wine a few times a year. Only during the New Year holiday, several families have joined forces to brew some private wine, which is turbid and has no smell of alcohol. As for the official wine sold in the store, who is willing to drink it except for the idle people who are not doing their jobs?

The liquor sold in Sansi Shop has a strong smell and a cheap price. This is the wine that farmers drink. Nowadays, there are such wines sold in the business and sales clubs. Some people are greedy and just grab a handful of food and drink it into a small bowl. They go home to sleep in a dizzy way. This is their own business. If you are a real alcoholic, you don’t sell wine to him.

Uncle Peng San was drinking wine and pickled vegetables, enjoying his happy time, waiting for Sun Erlang to come back.

Erlang is young, honest and hardworking, and is a friend of the shop's festive season. Now he is the only long-term employee in the business and sales club. Even if it is another family's turn to purchase goods in Xijing City, he will ask him to follow the car.

Life in the countryside is so ordinary, and everyone is looking for their own happiness in this ordinary.

Sun Erlang and Xiqing were on the small table of Lengtao stalls in Qiaotou, Tianjin, gently fiddling with the jelly in the bowl and happily savoring the taste of the food. They were at their carefree age, and everything in the city seemed fresh and attractive.

After eating for a while, Xiqing said to Sun Erlang: "Erlang, in a few days we will open a new shop in Jianchun Gate. Manager Zheng will take me there. From now on, you will go there to purchase goods and walk a lot less."

Erlang thought for a while and asked, "Is there a small shop there? Is the goods all?"

"Brothers, the goods you want will naturally be prepared for you early, so why is it incomplete?"

"Okay, we will live there from now on, which is much cheaper. Festive. Every time I walk through Jianchun Gate, I see that there is a bit desolate. How could you get there to open a shop?"

"How can I know this! This time, Judge Liu from the Salt and Iron Department came to Xijing City and settled it after staying for a few days. I heard that the cotton cloth sold in Xijing City was sold in that shop, and I don't know why."

Two and a half-old children could not understand such things, and they were not interested in it. After saying a few words, they talked about the strange and strange things they encountered during this period.

Xu Ping settled the business of opening a shop and selling cotton cloth in Jianchun Gate, which was the industrial layout of the Xijing Luoyang City. The Luo River flowed into the city from the west and left the city from the east. Because it was necessary to build a dam upstream and the water flow was stable where the city left, it was a gathering place for hydraulic spinning and other industries planned by Xu Ping. There was spinning, and the weaving was naturally there, and the matching tailoring and so on were also there.

Instead of choosing a shop in Dongshuimen, I chose Jianchunmen because Jianchunmen is on the east road, and there are many idle fields there, which is suitable for large-scale industry and commerce. Later, Wen Yanbo bought hundreds of acres of land in Jianchunmen in Luoyang and built a famous garden. You can imagine how much idle land there is.

Nowadays, cotton planting and textile are still being planned. In the early stage, a group of private garment industry gathered. Cotton cloth is still novel and the price is not high. For the garment industry, it is time to make a lot of money. Opening a shop in Jianchunmen specifically sells cotton cloth will inevitably attract merchants to open stores there, which is considered to form a new commercial center.

Xu Ping paid a tea at the back of the Transport Office and asked Jia Changling: "The punishment was originally delayed by one day, but why did he delay so many days in the end? Look, the magistrates of several major prefectures have already turned around, and you have arrived in the city."

Jia Changling sighed: "Stop talking, there is nothing to do if you don't come out of the government. Once you get to the place, you don't know where so many cases come out. The people are stopped, but I can't leave even if I want to!"

While talking, Jia Changling shook his head repeatedly.

This time when he came to Luoyang, he set out from Dengzhou with the prefect Zhao He. As a result, Zhao He fell farther and farther away because of the case. Finally, he arrived in Luoyang, and Zhao He had already left.

Because the current criminal prison does not bring encouragement to the farmer, such as river building, and he doesn't care much about Jia Changling. The reason he had to come to Luoyang City was because Xu Ping took office and the chiefs of several departments always had to touch him.

The Transportation Commission and the Trial and Criminal Prison Department both have the power to supervise local officials, and they can be called the Constituent Commission. The chief officer of the Constituent Commission has to patrol all the prefectures and counties every year. With the size of Jingxi Road, this is an impossible task and a reasonable division of labor must be made. In addition to taking over the places that Wang Yong did not inspect, Xu Ping also had to discuss with Jia Changling the two departments to inspect separately next year. The two of them combined to travel the various prefectures on Jingxi Road to complete the task. But on the other hand, the chief officer of the Constituent Commission requires that all the prefectures under his command be reached, so the prefectures and counties divided every year are different and must be discussed.

When talking about gossip, Xu Ping asked Jia Changling: "How come there are so many cases? I have been in the local area for many years, and this situation is rarely seen. Could it be that the people in the west of Beijing also like to sue?"

Jia Changling shook his head: "No, the people in the west of Jing are considered to be obedient to the people. When will Ducao go to Jiangnan to become an official, then he knows what many cases are. Jingxi Road is located in the world, and most of the people are gentle. The reason why I came across many cases this time is because of the leap year."

"Oh, how do you say this?"

"Aren't we compiled a leap year record? Local households are divided into different places, and for this matter, the lawsuits in various places have not yet been settled."

Xu Ping nodded, and households and others were directly related to the tax burden of ordinary people. Every leap year, the people were full of tricks. In order to reduce a household, some people violated the law and discipline, and some people caused tragedies in the world, which was indeed more chaotic than in previous years.

Jia Changling said: "I came from Dengzhou and Ducao knew that there were many cattle in that area. If the farmers had no cattle, they would not be able to grow land. The cattle price was not cheap, so there were wealthy families who made false contracts with others and sold them to poor families to establish literary contracts. As a result, when the leap year records were compiled and the households settled, some families would take the false contract as real contracts and not return the cows. There were too many such lawsuits!"

Cattle are also included in the assets at a discount and included in households. Therefore, on Jingxi Road, few people specialize in raising cattle, and they buy them in large quantities from Jinghu Road. People here only raise adult cattle that can be used for service, while calves are rarely raised. Because the Jinghu Road has not yet been developed, there are large areas of grassland, and people there release the cattle and go to the wild room to catch them when they are about to sell. There is no problem of households. In addition, there are a large number of barbarians, and they do not enter households according to the law.
