Earlier, when Gu Zhao was still busy developing the economy of Yaochang Mansion, he received a letter from Gu Yang of Qingling Mansion. The results of the college examination were quite good, and he got No.5 in the exam like Gu Zhao did back then.

In the letter at that time, he not only announced the good news to the third brother, but also told the third brother that he would leave Qingling Mansion and move back to the capital, and also told Gu Zhao that the relatives and friends in the Qingling Mansion were all very well. Gu Zhao was very happy when he received the good news. Knowing how difficult it is for Gu Yang to get to this point, he has built up his self-confidence little by little with his own efforts, and this time, he is very clear about how important it is to Gu Yang. Proves that he is not insane.

Gu Zhao's reply was very encouraging, thinking that Gu Yang would stay in the capital all the time, how could he have thought that he would come to Yaochang mansion quietly, and brought Peng Ling and his uncle Mr. Peng along with him.

After talking for a while, Gu Zhao went to wash up first. He hadn't had a good bath these days outside. The water supply on the construction site was more tense than other places. He, the prefect, couldn't take the lead in wasting water.

After taking a shower, Gu Ren and Qi Yunfei also came. They were all old acquaintances in Qingling Mansion, and it was fate to be reunited in such a remote place as Yaochang Mansion, so they were very happy. Qi Yunfei also specially brought a Altar of good wine.

Li Shi stayed with him for a while to eat and then left, leaving these men to drink and talk.

"Third brother, I originally wanted to learn from my third brother to go out to study, but later I thought that instead of going to other places to study, it would be better to go to my third brother to increase my knowledge. The teacher also thought it was very good. Brother Peng Ling knew that I would come with the teacher, so he insisted. Come along." Gu Yang looked at the third brother expectantly, hoping that the third brother would not push him away, the situation in Yaochang Mansion written in the third brother's letter was something he had never seen before, and after getting along with the teacher for a long time, it was also difficult for him to push him away. I often yearn for the outside world described by the teacher.

Gu Zhao couldn't help but reached out and patted Gu Yang's head. This time meeting Gu Yang was indeed more confident and mature than before: "If you are willing to stay, it is to help the third brother. The third brother can only wish for it. I don't know the third brother Are you most in need of people here, where are Mrs. Peng and Brother Peng? Why don't you stay and help me together."

Mrs. Peng pointed at Gu Zhao, shook his head and smiled, while Peng Ling asked, "Then I'll stay and work, can we go in and have a look at those workshops?"

Gu Zhao said with a smile: "In the future, when I leave Yaochang Mansion, I will not take this workshop with me. The workshop is under the name of the government office, belongs to the government, and will remain on the boundary of Yaochang Mansion forever."

Peng Ling gave Gu Zhao a thumbs up in admiration, admiring Gu Zhao's courage, it is equivalent to contributing the recipe for free, which will continue to benefit the people here in the future, and it also means that this recipe is no longer a secret, how to make it in the future Soap and rubber extraction will be known to more and more businesses, and will no longer be the exclusive business of Gu Jia and Qi Yunfei.

"Okay, then I'll stay too. I won't be too late when you find someone who can replace me. Uncle Yu is also happy to stay here for a while, right?"

Mrs. Peng shook his head and smiled: "You are all staying. Is it possible that I can go on the road alone? I have to stay and accompany you."

Although his legs and feet are inconvenient, there are students and nephews who take care of him carefully when he comes out this time. In addition to the remodeled carriage, the journey is not very tiring, so his interest is quite high. What he saw and heard when he came here It also made him very interested in staying, just to see how far Gu Zhao can develop this Yaochang Mansion, and to see where the bottom line of Gu Zhao's ability lies.

"Great, with you guys by my side, this Yaochang mansion will definitely get better and better, I respect you."

"Come on, cheers."

After a good night's sleep, the three of Gu Yang couldn't wait to visit the workshop the next day. What could Gu Zhao do? He had to send them there, and Gu Ren and Qi Yunfei would receive them at the workshop.

Gu Zhao told Mr. Fan that all three of them would enter the yamen to help him, and Mr. Fan was overjoyed. These three are suitable no matter where they are arranged. The more such people come to the yamen, the better.

It took the three of them a day to visit the three workshops, and they were amazed by the whole process, especially Mrs. Peng, who had seen other workshops, but he had to say that Gu Zhao's workshop was much more efficient. It was also the first time he knew that soap and rubber were made in this way.

On the third day, Gu Zhao unceremoniously assigned work to them. Master Peng was handicapped, and he was not too young, so he stayed in the yamen to help Master Fan and do some clerical work. Gu Yang and Peng Ling were young, Gu Zhao assigned them a lot of errand work, and sent them around. The two were happy and had no complaints at all, because seeing how busy Gu Zhao was, there was no idler in the entire yamen. Local yamen are very different.

The news of the establishment of the mutual market has spread, and even the caravans and merchants in Yaochang City are talking about the mutual market. Not to mention those merchants, for the caravans running around, the establishment of the mutual market is extremely important for them. Big opportunity. Before the mutual market appeared, some caravans secretly did business with people outside the customs. It was a big risk. But after the mutual market was established, they would have the opportunity to do business with foreigners openly.

These caravans are very concerned about the situation of the mutual market, and some caravans have tried their best to ask someone to bring a message to Gu Zhao. From their point of view, Gu Zhao’s news must be better than theirs. How can the mutual market be established in which place? Obtaining the permission to enter the mutual market for business and what commodities can be traded are all news that they pay special attention to.

When Gu Zhaogang came back from outside, Mr. Fan and Mrs. Peng were also discussing the matter. Mrs. Peng and the three of them heard the caravan mention the mutual market on the way there. Based on Mr. Peng’s many years of traveling experience, he thought that opening the mutual market would be more beneficial than cons.

"I don't know where the mutual market will be located. If it is closer to Yaochang Mansion, then Yaochang Mansion will get a lot of benefits."

Master Fan agreed: "Yes, as long as the exchange market is not too far from our Yaochang Mansion, the items produced in our Yaofu City can be sold outside the customs, and they will definitely be very popular."

Hearing this, Gu Zhao laughed and said, "I have good news for you. The location of the mutual market has been finalized. It is in the middle of the border town and our Yaochang Mansion. A new city will be built there soon. I will use our Yaochang Mansion to build a new city. In the name of the Changfu government office, apply for a quota of admission to Mr. Chang."

Master Fan was overjoyed: "Your Excellency, you got the news? Can you pass? It would be great if you can pass."

"I don't think there will be any problems. Our government has an advantage over private caravans." Gu Zhao is quite confident about this matter, "When the first transaction is made in the mutual market, I will personally lead the team away. one trip."

Master Fan couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, and Mrs. Peng also found it very interesting. He said that Gu Zhao is an official, but seeing that he is running a workshop and a business promotion meeting, he has to personally organize a caravan to participate in the mutual market transactions. Doing business with foreigners is not something that any official can do, because most officials of literati origin do not look down on businessmen who smell of money.

If this was in the capital city, it is estimated that there would be a lot of papers for visiting Gu Zhao, that is, staying away from the capital city would allow Gu Zhao to let go of his hands and feet and work hard.

Gu Zhao immediately wrote a letter to Mr. Chang, and Mr. Chang was determined to be in charge of the mutual market, and the quota for entering the mutual market was also held by Mr. Chang. Gu Zhao did not use favors in the letter, but made a big statement from the government. reasons and advantages.

This letter was quickly delivered to Mr. Chang, and when he read the letter, his expression was as dumbfounding as Master Fan's. What a Gu Zhao, according to what he wrote in the letter, if he is not given this quota, he will not be allowed to enter the exchange market , on the contrary, he is the person in charge.

But that’s all, let’s give it to him. Originally, he was aiming to do business with the tribes outside. Gu Zhao’s actions are not too different from his nature. Therefore, the first person who entered the exchange market given by Mr. Chang The quota is for the government office of Yaochang Mansion.

When the licensing rights were sent to Yaochang Mansion, the mutual market had already been established for more than half, and the competition for places among various caravans became more intense. At this time, the news that the Yaochang Mansion government office had obtained the licensing rights spread among them, and they were all surprised endlessly.

"I just came out of Yaochang Mansion, so a government office in Yaochang Mansion wants to enter the exchange market?"

"Think about who the magistrate of Yaochang Mansion is now, is his business acumen worse than those of us businessmen?"

"That's right. That's Mr. Gu Zhao. Oh, isn't Mr. Gu trying to compete with our caravan? I originally thought that if I could enter the exchange market, I would sell suet soap and rubber products from Yaochang Mansion to Those foreign merchants."

Not everyone can enter the mutual market. The caravans that enter the mutual market need to be approved by the official. The products that enter the mutual market are also subject to inspection. Only officially designated products can be sold. Once the products that violate the regulations are found, the permission right will be cancelled. , and may go to jail.

All these news were brought into Yaochang City by the caravan. The merchants in Yaochang City were only talking about the mutual market at first, and felt that they had nothing to do with them. The three workshops under the government office, in their view, must be those licensed caravans that brought suet soap and other items to the market.

As a result, this time I heard that the official office of their Yaochang Mansion has also got a quota, and they can go to the mutual market to do business with foreign caravans. Everyone's brains suddenly become flexible, and they all use their magical powers to find out what Gu Zhao is going to do. I think I know it. The quota must be related to Gu Zhao. Their magistrate is different from other officials. He is a civil official who is very good at doing business.

Gu Ren and Qi Yunfei are all fighting with Gu Zhao for the opportunity to go to the mutual market. They want to go to the mutual market to open their eyes. If you miss it, even Mrs. Peng is very interested.

They ran in front of Gu Zhao collectively, and heard one by one asking Gu Zhao to nod, it is impossible to take them all away, this yamen must keep people in charge, at this moment, someone reported that Patriarch Yan asked to see the Lord.

Qi Yunfei immediately clicked his tongue and said, "This guy surnamed Yan must have come here for the mutual market. This guy has a flexible mind."

Gu Zhao also smiled: "Indeed, I'm also wondering who will be the first to come, and Master Yan is the fastest."
