The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 244 Official Decoration Team

The days always go by so fast, and it is the 23rd of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye, which is commonly known as Xiaonian.The weather is getting colder and colder, and it's almost the season when breath turns into ice.

However, although the weather is very cold, the hearts of the people in Erlong Valley are warm, and there is hope in their eyes.Everyone is eagerly awaiting the opening of the commercial street today.

The caravan from Datong arrived several days earlier than the agreed time.Jiang Chuan felt that he had underestimated the enthusiasm of the businessmen.Bai Jinxiu came to the valley with a mighty caravan. Jiang Chuan took a look at it. There were about 600 people in this caravan, and it was definitely a big caravan.

There were so many people that Jiang Chuan was a little unexpected.After asking Bai Jinxiu, she was also surprised before.After Mu Zuo, the magistrate of Datong announced the matter, many businessmen came to his door soon, asking to take the goods to Erlong Valley.

Jiang Chuan originally discussed with Bai Jinxiu that the first batch of places to come to Guzhong should be [-] merchants, which is enough for the people in Guzhong to live a decent year.

However, as the news of Wu'anhou's resident business invitation fermented, more and more businessmen came to the magistrate's office to sign up, and the [-] places were soon filled.Moreover, a steady stream of businessmen came to Mu Zuo to intercede with various connections and asked to join the caravan.

Mu Zuo had no choice but to consult with Bai Jinxiu.

In the end, Bai Jinxiu made a decision to limit the number of merchants to 150, and the first batch of people from each family to follow the caravan should not exceed three.

Even so, the 150 places were quickly robbed, and such a huge caravan was born.

After the places were emptied, these merchants began to actively stock up, select manpower, and prepare to set off with the caravan.It was precisely because of the high enthusiasm of the merchants that the time reserved by Bai Jinxiu was shortened by half, so he was able to arrive at Erlong Valley earlier.

Following the arrival of the huge caravan, Li Yongnian sent a team of troops to escort [-] shi of grain and grass, which was equivalent to escorting the caravan.

After Jiang Chuan received the news from Bai Jinxiu, he also sent a team of cavalry to meet the escort, ensuring that the caravan and supplies arrived at Erlong Valley smoothly.

The majestic and towering fortress of Erlong Valley shocked these well-informed businessmen who had traveled far and wide.He was even more impressed by the elite and tough cavalry of the Jiang family army.

After Liu Ji briefly entertained these businessmen, they visited the newly built commercial street.These businessmen were even more surprised when they saw that it was all built of bluestone, spacious, flat, clean and bright, with shops and residences, and even special facilities for storing garbage, sewage, and excrement. Seeing this kind of street market comparable to a big city and a big country, everyone couldn't believe their eyes.

Liu Ji led the people from the Shibo Department to work for several days, and almost allocated more than half of the shops, and all the merchants who came were allocated to shops and residences.

All these merchants are also enthroned and recorded in the Shibo Department, and the name of the owner, the number of employees, the goods sold, the shop number, etc. are all clearly recorded.

After these procedures were completed, the merchants began to organize the shops urgently, decorate the shop, make shelves, etc., and prepare for the opening. Fortunately, they will open on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month.

Because each store needs a lot of shelves or decorations, many carpenters among the common people are very busy these days. They all leave early and return late, but they all have smiles on their faces. When they go out, their pockets are empty. Sometimes the pockets jingle and are full of big money.

Just like this, many businessmen are still unable to hire manpower, and they are in a hurry.After Liu Ji's report came up, Jiang Chuan had an idea and simply asked the engineering battalion to select personnel to form an official decoration team.

According to Jiang Chuan's instructions, the official decoration team mainly received customers for overall decoration.Among them are craftsmen who are responsible for the design. As long as the merchant tells his decoration ideas, the craftsman will draw the corresponding design drawings for him.

It was the first time for many merchants to see such a one-stop service decoration team, and they were all quite moved after being amazed, and came to the door one after another.

At the speed of the engineering camp, it is almost a day to finish a store, and the quality is excellent, and the work completely meets the expectations of the businessmen. This speed and quality made the businessmen exclaimed, and at the same time, more people came to the door.

In just a few days, no matter how fast the decoration team is, it can't meet the needs of so many people.

Jiang Chuan simply asked the engineering battalion to assign a few more decoration teams, a total of five decoration teams, and unified the establishment of a Xinglong Jinxiu Decoration Firm, which was hung under the engineering battalion to undertake shop decoration work, so as to help the army earn some extra money .

After Xinglong Jinxiu Decoration Firm was established, apart from those merchants, there was another person who was happiest was Bai Jinxiu.

When she heard the word Jinxiu, she felt a great sense of happiness in her heart, and she looked at Jiang Chuan with a smile in her eyes in the past few days.

Of course, many people probably think so.

Jiang Chuan was a little bit dumbfounded when he discovered this beautiful misunderstanding, but he was not stupid enough to explain it.

Although he chose this name casually, with the meaning of prosperous business and boundless splendor, he never thought of using a name to please Bai Jinxiu, but it fit Bai Jinxiu's name by accident, which can be regarded as It is God's will.

This beautiful misunderstanding made Jiang Chuan eat braised pork for several days in a row, and of course Bai Jinxiu cooked it himself.

Although the decoration team was fast and of good quality, it did not affect the business of those folk craftsmen.After all, the decoration team takes on big jobs, and the overall decoration, the strength of each businessman is also different, so everyone has their own market.

Moreover, there are still a lot of miscellaneous tasks that need to be hired, and many common people are also hired by the merchants. The entire commercial street is extremely busy, the merchants are excited, and the common people are happy.

Originally, those craftsmen with special skills were not popular because of the Ming Dynasty's household registration system, but now these craftsmen go home with a lot of money every day, making those who looked down on them all envious.

If people have money, they can buy a lot of New Year's goods when the market opens on December 23.

There are so many people settled in the commercial street. Although there are houses, the four major needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation are indispensable, and the rest are easy to solve, because these businessmen have all walks of life.

But the problem of eating alone cannot be solved.

At the beginning, Jiang Chuan asked these businessmen to eat collectively in the canteen of the army, but later he found various inconveniences.First of all, the food menu in the canteen in the army is greasy. These businessmen are used to eating good food, but they are not used to it at all.

Secondly, the canteen in the army had to cook meals for the soldiers and then for the merchants. The time was too late, and the burden suddenly increased.

In the end, Qi Xuan gave Jiang Chuan an idea to open a restaurant directly in the commercial street and do business with these merchants directly.

　There are also updates.Thanks to the "Life Luck" brother for the two rewards, the old cat is terrified.The update during this period of time is indeed a little weak. Firstly, there are too many things to do, and secondly, my state is poor.The old cat will try its best to adjust and update more every day.
