All-Heavens Star Chart

In the early morning of the next day, in Youyu County, but in the entire Datong Mansion, almost all the people with the head and face passed through the Shenhekou Pass.

Today’s three quarters is a good time for the exchange market to hang a plaque and officially start to use it.

Don’t worry about the future of this exchange market, but after all, this place was established by the emperor himself, so it should have attracted a lot of people’s attention.

Even in the Datong government office, a Grade 5 senior who is in charge of salt and grain commercial affairs was sent to pay respect.

Of course, this colleague is only here for paid respect, he has no other purpose or plan.

Although from the perspective of affiliation, Zhou Chen, a city engaged in commercial trade activities, should be under the jurisdiction of Datong Prefecture.

At present, this colleague who is in charge of salt and grain commercial affairs can be said to be fully qualified to intervene and even control this mutual market.

However, the actual situation is not the case. Even though this mutual market is under the rule of Datong Prefecture, it is by no means qualified for Datong Government to intervene.

Know that Zhou Chen came here to try to establish a mutual market on the order of Emperor Hongzhi.

Except for Zhou Chen himself, only Emperor Hongzhi or the envoys sent by Emperor Hongzhi can intervene in this exchange.

So even if the Tongzhi is an official in Datong Prefecture who is responsible for the management of salt and grain commercial affairs, he can’t speak at all in this mutual market.

When the time gradually approached, almost all the people who came to the exchange market to hang the plaque were almost there.

At this moment, all the guests gathered in front of the main entrance of the exchange, which was a square arch made of huge bluestone slabs.

There is a large piece of bright red cloth on the top of the arch. There is a plaque to be announced later.

Under the arch, there is a huge wooden table on which the heads of sheep, pigs and cows are displayed.

As long as there is any major event, the sacrifice to Heaven and Earth is basically indispensable.

Of course, these three animal sacrifices are the most solemn at the moment, which was prepared by the county Cheng Su Tong personally, in order to sacrifice to Heaven and Earth on a good day.

As it approaches three quarters, the time for the plaques to be hung on the exchange market is finally coming.

All the guests in the room burned incense in order, and there was a long queue from high to low according to their status.

As the full Chief-In-Charge of this city, Zhou Chen also serves as the prefect of Youyu County, the Bright Gown Guard Thousand Households, and Youyulin Guarding Army.

So even if Zhou Chen is not the person with the highest official rank in the field, he is still the first person to burn incense and sacrifice.

Looking at all the people present, Tie Shaotang was the one with the highest official rank under the command of You Yulinwei.

His official title is as high as Grade 3, so second only to Zhou Chen is naturally ranked second, and then the Grade 5 who is on behalf of the Datong government office came to observe the ceremony.

As soon as three quarters arrive, the old mage who is in charge of the rituals yells out: “The auspicious hour has arrived, and the rituals begin!”

The Zhou Chen who was in the forefront Starting to burn incense to worship Heaven and Earth, Tie Shaotang and the master Tongzhi from Datong Mansion followed closely from behind.

After all the people who came to watch the ceremony stepped forward and burned a piece of incense, the sacrifice to Heaven and Earth was just over.

The old mage who was responsible for presiding over the ceremony with all gray hair and beard once again sang aloud: “Sacrificial ceremony, highlight the plaque!”

At this time, Zhou Chen walked alone to the edge of the huge square arch, and raised his hand to grasp the red cloth that was hanging down from the top of the arch.

With a strong pull, Zhou Chen immediately pulled off the red cloth that was hanging and obscured just above the arch.

Immediately afterwards, a huge iron-wood plaque with a deep color and lustre was revealed, on which the four primitive seal characters of’Beijiang Mutual Market’ were inscribed.

This plaque was written by a calligrapher in Datong Prefecture and carved by a master carpenter with the most exquisite craftsmanship.

The four characters of Beijiang Mutual Market are full of rugged and heroic atmosphere, and they are very much in line with the surrounding environment where this Mutual Market is located.

As for the name Beijiang Mutual Market, it was taken out by Zhou Chen himself.

This name embodies Zhou Chen’s long-cherished wish for the exchange here. He hopes that this exchange can become the largest exchange in northern Xinjiang of the Ming Dynasty.

Giving the red cloth silk in his hand to the others around him, Zhou Chen slowly walked to the right under the arch, he thought loudly for everyone in the room to explain.

“Everyone, now the good time has passed, and the Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market has also been completely opened.

This Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market is between the Ming Dynasty and the Grassland Pass. The trade is difficult, so he personally ordered the official to supervise the establishment.

Before the official left Beijing, the sage had personally warned the official three principles, that is fairness! Justness! Open!

The official can now promise that as long as it is within the northern Xinjiang Mutual Market, there will only be buyers and sellers.

Whether it is the nomads on the grasslands or our Ming Dynasty Merchants and the people, the official will definitely treat the same!

The official will never give any special care to the people and merchants of the Ming Dynasty, nor will it discriminate against the nomads on the grassland.

In the Beijiang Mutual Market under the current government, everything is based on a fair, just, and open business transaction principle.

In order to make the Beijiang Mutual Market successful, The official specially invited the Fantian family of the eight great families of Shanxi merchants to help each other.

In addition, the work with a common purpose of the large and small merchants in Youyu County, so now this northern Xinjiang Mutual Market The goods in the shops are extremely complete.

Except for the arms and weapons that are traded in the Imperial Court expressly prohibited, it can be said that the overwhelming majority can be found in the northern border exchange market in the Ming Dynasty. Commodity goods.

Okay, nonsense, I won’t continue to say anything. If you are interested, please enter the exchange market and go shopping!”

Because of Zhou Chen’s This profound internal strength is blessed in the voice, so even though it is very vast here, everyone present still thoroughly heard every syllable and every word Zhou Chen said.

For a while, everyone present couldn’t help but feel a strong sense of curiosity. Could it be that this Northern Xinjiang Mutual Market can really find most of the things circulating in the Ming Dynasty? Commodities and goods?

Be aware that in addition to the audience of the Ming Dynasty, there are also many herders on the grassland here to join in the fun.

After hearing Zhou Chen’s voice, these herdsmen became the most excited crowd in the field.
