What should I do if I accidentally come to the ancient times?

This point, the following guards and their family members will naturally not think of it for a while.

They just wondered why they drove four empty carriages to trade with others. Couldn't they bring more things?

Although two carriages can only carry so much rice, they can carry some, and they can even bring more horses to carry it.

Everyone couldn't understand why the elder did this, but they still didn't dare to disobey Zhao Hao's order at all. They drove four empty cars to go, and it happened that the cars were empty. Everyone can sit on it, and the speed of traveling is much faster.

Chapter 264 Shops

After Zhao Hao sent his personal guards out to sell horses, he began to plan the shops in Zhennanbao.

After all, people from other territories must have a place to buy things when they come over. If they ask them one by one, it will be a bit messy.

Since the residents in the castle are basically the family members of his personal guards, the planning of this shop is relatively simple.

He still divided the [-] personal guards into five battalions, each with more than a thousand young men, led by a school lieutenant, and his family members were in charge of a project.

For example, the family of Zhao Ren's personal guards is mainly responsible for the sale of meat, which is available in almost every household in Haotianling. If anyone can sell it randomly, it will be a mess.

If people come to collect meat, go to this one to collect a few catties or tens of catties of beef jerky, and go to another house to collect a few catties or tens of catties of mutton jerky, not to mention troublesome running, and it is easy to cause looting or even fights.

After all, every household has them, and everyone wants to trade for food to support their families, and it is impossible for people from other territories in Nanhua to come to a few thousand at a time, and it is even more impossible to visit each of the more than 5000 people every time.

At this time, it is most likely to cause conflicts.

But it is different if the meat is sold to the family members of Zhao Ren's personal guards. They can unite to build several large shops. Those who sell beef jerky will specialize in beef jerky, and those who sell mutton jerky will specialize in mutton jerky. Those who sell fresh beef specialize in selling fresh beef, and those who sell fresh mutton specialize in selling fresh mutton. After the sales are finished, the grain is distributed uniformly according to the amount of meat provided by each family.

In this way, it is not only convenient for people from other territories to come to buy things, but also Zhennanbao will not cause conflicts due to competition for customers.

There are also leather goods, which Zhao Hao handed over to Zhao Yi's family members who are guards, and stipulated that those who sell sheepskins, cowhide, tiger skins, wolf skins, etc. should be separated and set up different shops. , to make it easier for people in other territories to purchase.

There is also pottery, which Zhao Hao handed over to Zhao Zhi’s family members who are his personal guards, and stipulated that those who sell pottery bowls, pots, cups and even bricks should be separated and set up different shops. , to make it easier for people in other territories to purchase.

There are also ironware, which Zhao Hao handed over to the family members of Zhao Li's personal guards, and stipulated that those who sell hoes, kitchen knives, iron pots, etc. should be separated, and different shops should be established to facilitate the purchase of other territories. people buy.

There are also horses and carriages, which Zhao Hao handed over to Zhao Zhi's family members who guarded him, and stipulated that selling horses and carts should be separated to set up shops. At the same time, horses should be priced separately according to their size and strength.

He also ordered Ah Rou to send a team of personal guards to be responsible for the sale of knives and dimes.

As for the location, style and scale of the shop, he has made a unified arrangement. Anyway, it is right according to what he said.

Within a few days, Zhennanbao became full of signboards and clusters of shops. The scene was just like a bustling city in ancient times.

After the teams sent out to sell horses and carriages rushed back one after another, people from various territories in Nanhua came to Zhennanbao. They were either driving a carriage with a cart of grain, or a group of people were driving A few carriages, carrying piles of food, seemed to go crazy, buying all kinds of goods in Zhennan Fort crazily.

At this time, Ah Hua and Ah Shan had almost built the four forts along the line from Zhennan Fort to Haotian Fort, and they also began to return to Zhennan Fort one after another.

The most clever Ah Shan came back first.

On this day, he brought more than [-] elite men and rowed a large boat to Zhennanbao Wharf.

As soon as he landed, he didn't feel anything unusual.

Because although Zhennanbao Wharf is big at this moment, it is not very busy, and although there are many sheds behind the wharf, it is also empty and there is nothing.

However, after entering the hinterland of the valley north of Zhennan Fort, he was a little dumbfounded.

Because the place has changed its appearance, not only are there tall wooden boards everywhere, but there are also many people driving around in carriages.

These people are not from the Haotian collar at first glance, because they are mainly made of coarse linen clothes, and few of them wear animal skin coats, while the Haotian collar people basically wear animal skin coats.

What is going on here?

Curiously, he ran to the elders' house where Zhao Hao lived to have a look, my good fellow, there is also a huge wooden board erected here, with a circle of knives and dimes drawn on it, and in the middle are the words "Dou Da" Selling knives, coins and dimes"!

Moreover, the business here is still quite prosperous. Many people rushed over with carriages and unloaded carts of grain. He was still elated, as if he had won some great treasure.

He walked all the way in, and was even more stunned. The courtyard inside was almost full of grain, and he didn't know how many tens of thousands of catties there were.

At this time, Zhao Hao had already heard the announcement from the personal guards and came up to meet him.

He patted Ah Shan on the shoulder and smiled, "Is the fort finished? It's been hard work, hard work."

Ah Shan was still a little bit from ear to ear at the moment. He pointed to the piles of grain around him and said in surprise: "This, this, this, these are all exchanged for knives and dimes?"

Zhao Hao said quite proudly: "Of course, I am only in charge of selling knives and jiao coins here, and nothing else. These are all exchanged for knives and jiao coins."

Dao coins and dimes can really be exchanged for so much food!

Ah Shan suddenly had an idea, and said excitedly: "By the way, didn't you say that the young and strong who built the fortress were rewarded with a knife coin a day? Hurry up and give me some knife coins. I also want to exchange some food."

Zhao Hao couldn't help but change his face when he heard that.

He twitched for a while, and then said awkwardly: "Oh, look at my memory, I originally thought that I could make enough knives for you in this month, but I didn't expect that people from other territories in Nanhua I am too interested in this knife coin, and they have almost exchanged all the knife coins created at the moment, and I don’t have much stock here. Otherwise, I will send you food directly.”

This!

Hearing this, Ah Shan couldn't help but feel a little dispirited. The reason why he wanted the knife and coin was actually to experience the process of exchanging the knife and coin for food. As for the food, he didn't lack it at the moment, and he mainly wanted to plan for the future.

After all, the cattle and sheep on the prairie are limited, and there are so many of his people, if they eat like this, sooner or later, they will eat up all the cattle and sheep.

As soon as Zhao Hao saw his expression, he understood that this guy wanted to exchange knives, coins, or meat and leather goods for rice.

He smiled slightly and said: "I wanted to tell you about this, but you have been busy, so I didn't send anyone to disturb you. As you can see, the business in Nanbao Town is booming day by day Get up, the meat and leather products, pottery and horses are estimated to be sold out soon. You can notify the clansmen in the territory to quickly deliver the meat and leather products and unload them directly in the shed on the left side of the pier. I will let my men guard them He and his family piled the rice they exchanged in the shed on the right, and when the time comes, you can bring the meat, leather goods and other things over and take the rice back."

so good?

Ah Shan couldn't help asking: "Are your personal guards and their family members helping us for nothing?"

This, of course, requires a certain fee.

Zhao Hao nodded slightly and said, "Well, you've made a good point. Let's discuss it together after they're all finished."

Chapter 265 Food Issues

The footsteps of autumn are slowly going away, and the cold winter is coming, and the business of the fur shop in Zhennanbao is also booming day by day.

It's a pity that there are not many fur shops in stock. After the looting in various territories of Nanhua, many fur shops are almost out of stock.

Zhao Hao saw the situation, and without waiting for the complete completion of the four forts along the line from Zhennanbao to Haotianbao, he recruited all ten of his subordinates.

In the lobby of the Elder's House, the ten princes gathered together again, and everyone could not conceal their excitement, because they knew that Zhao Hao came to them this time to discuss the issue of food exchange.

This food is too important. Although they don't have Zhao Hao's thousands of years of historical knowledge, they also know that as the population of their subordinates continues to grow, no matter whether they are hunting or nomadic, they will face a food crisis. Only in exchange for food can this problem be completely solved.

It can be said that before the emergence of farming civilization, ancient tribes would face the problem of food shortage.

The development of ancient tribes has always been closely related to food.
