All-Heavens Star Chart

Time passed slowly, and seven days passed in an instant.

In these seven days, no one in the entire Youyu County office was free.

Under the leadership of the shopkeepers that Zhou Chen borrowed from Dragon Gate Security Service, the servants in the county government continuously counted the merchants and planned the land.

The county Cheng Sutong and the director Wang Yan personally hired hundreds of civilian laborers to build civil engineering projects outside the Shenhekou Pass, and began to build a large-scale market.

Even Zhou Chen himself lived with Ba Dao in the Youyulin Guards Camp in Canhekou, overseeing the gradual rise of the exchange market.

According to Zhou Chen’s personal research and evaluation, this open exchange was set by Zhou Chen on a flat terrain five miles away from the Shenhekou Pass.

The terrain of Shenhekou is very steep, with mountains on both sides of the pass facing each other, Tangzi Mountain in the east and Dabao Mountain in the west.

But between the two mountains, there is an extremely open Cangtou River Valley.

Put the mutual market here, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or the Mongolian side, whoever wants to make a bad idea and lead troops to invade, the other party can find it in an instant.

In this way, this Fangshi will not break away from the control of You Yulinwei who is stationed at the Shenhekou Pass, nor will it make the grassland herders afraid to come because of fear.

Now that seven days have passed, under the sweat of hundreds of ordinary laborers, the overall structure of the mutual market has gradually become complete.

At this moment, Zhou Chen, accompanied by the county Cheng Sutong and the main book Wang Yan, is patrolling this exchange market that is about to be completely completed.

Although Emperor Hongzhi only asked Zhou Chen to try to establish a mutual market, Zhou Chen deliberately established the mutual market outside the participating gates to become the largest mutual market in northern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty.

So the scale of this inter-market at first was planned by Zhou Chen to be very large, which is broader than the main streets in Youyu County.

The entire city is divided into three horizontal, three vertical and six square cities, and the entire structure is mostly made of mud bricks and wood.

Three horizontal squares were prepared for merchants in the Ming Dynasty.

As for the three vertical market, they are naturally prepared for the herdsmen on the grassland.

The three horizontal squares are mostly commercial shops. Compared with the shops on both sides of the streets in the city, they are definitely much simpler.

But if it is only used to shelter from the wind and rain, and to sell goods, it is completely enough.

The three vertical market, except for a few necessary houses, are mostly fenced.

This is because most of the goods sold by herdsmen on the grassland in the future will be cattle, sheep and horses, so a lot of livestock pens have been built on this vertical market.

In order to ensure that the mutual market can truly open up, Zhou Chen also directly transferred countless goods from within the Ming Dynasty and displayed them in the shops in the three horizontal square markets.

Snow white crystal salt cane sugar, smooth and shiny silk cloth, exquisite and beautiful porcelain glass and so on.

It can be said that except for the arms and ironware which were strictly forbidden to be sold in the Ming Dynasty, almost most of the goods can be found in the market.

When preparing these commodities, Zhou Chen took a lot of thought.

If it weren’t for Chen Yun and Xu Yan for just two days, they had supported two very obedient principals in Fan Tian’s family. I’m afraid Zhou Chen would have prepared these goods at the very least. It takes ten days to half a month.

It is the new Patriarch Ren of the Fantian family, which runs most of the commercial power of the Fantian family, so Zhou Chen can support this market.

As for the former Patriarch Ren Fan Qichang and Tian Yongliang of the Fan Tian family, they were directly brutally beaten by Chen Yun and Xu Yan and ended up in the secret prison of Bright Gown Guard.

Apart from this, Chen Yun and Xu Yan both held Zhou Chen’s order of thousand households and quietly mobilized the Bright Gown Guard forces in several prefectures and counties in Datong to bring the entire Fan Tian The diehards of the two families were all secretly executed.

So when Zhou Chen needed the commercial power of the Fan Tian two families, he did not receive the deterrence of the two families.

Because all the opposition forces in Fan Tian’s family have been killed by Chen Yun and Xu Yan with Bright Gown Guard.

Don’t look at the Fantian family as the top merchants among Shanxi merchants, but in the face of violent institutions such as the Bright Gown Guard in the Imperial Court, they are simply not worth mentioning.

Under the secret operation of Bright Gown Guard, most of the merchants in Youyu County are not even aware of the major changes that have taken place in the Fantian family.

These small merchants and hawkers still regard the Fantian family as the standard and basis for their actions as they did in the past.

With the exemplary role played by the Fantian family, most of the vendors in Youyu County also leased a shop in the Fangshi established by Zhou Chen for The opening of the mutual market added a strength.

Although these merchants are not very large when they are taken out individually, when they are brought together, they directly support most of the appearance of the mutual market.

At least after the number of shops in this market increases, it will no longer be Zhou Chen who sings a one-man show by himself. This makes the face of the exchange market more visible.

In this city, not only the merchants in Youyu County, but also all merchants in other prefectures and counties have opened shops in it.

Even among the remaining Six Great Families of Shanxi merchants, three tried to establish their own shops in the market.

These three are the Jin Family, Liang Family, and Zhai Family.

As a leader-level commercial power among the Shanxi merchants, the remaining Six Great Families have actually detected the changes that broke out in the Fan Tian family.

However, the Eight Great Family of Shanxi Merchants is not the same qi, connected branch. There are even contradictions and conflicts between each other.

After these six companies faintly noticed that the Fan Tian family were under the control of Bright Gown Guard, although each family was deeply vigilant about it.

However, these six companies have never thought of making a stand for the Fan Tian family, they just watched quietly from the sidelines.

Because of this, the situation of the Fantian family operating a large number of commodities and goods stationed in the foreign exchange market directly and clearly came into the eyes of these six companies.

Businessmen are the ones who are good at speculation. As the Peak business family among the Shanxi merchants, there is absolutely no lack of sharp-eyed people in these six business families. They can naturally see that this place is built outside the pass. The mutual market is very worthy of investment.

It’s just that the Huang Family and the remaining two Wang families are relatively more secure. They are prepared to wait and see for a while, while the Jin family, Liang Family, and Zhai family have chosen to directly Admission.
