My whole family traveled across time with an encyclopedia

"Dad, why do you feel that Chang Yuan is different from the people living outside? Isn't it said that this person is cruel and aggressive? He is actually willing to spend the extra money to accommodate the old and weak."

"As a member of the Zheng family, you still believe those rumors? All rumors are just to achieve your own goals. If word spread about the treatment of Chang Yuan, wouldn't all the people in the world gather here?" Then they asked Who will farm the land for themselves?

Uncle Zheng Wu, the middle-aged man, scolded.

The young man did not dare to refute and kept his head down.

"Okay Ming Yu, Xiao Yang is still young, you can teach him slowly, you don't have to be so strict." The man who spoke was a man slightly older than Zheng Wushu.

"Fourth brother is right." He's not your son, so don't worry.

Zheng Mingyu looked respectful, but cursed in his heart. Part of his son's uneducated appearance was due to his fourth brother.

Zheng Zhongguang glanced at Zheng Mingyu, who looked different. Everyone had their own little thoughts in their hearts. Although they were from the same family, they belonged to different branches.

"You don't agree with Xiao Yang's statement. Then Lao Wu, tell me what you think? What do you think of Chang Yuan?"

Zheng Mingyu respectfully replied: "Fourth brother, judging from what we have seen along the way, this Chang Yuan is indeed extraordinary. No wonder the court keeps stigmatizing him. This time the head of the family sent us to observe Chang Yuan. According to me Look, this man is very powerful, he can mount a horse and lead an army to fight, he can also dismount a horse to govern the place, and he has a benevolent heart. One day, he will be the wise ruler of the world."

Zheng Zhengguang sneered, "I have a different view than you. Although Chang Yuan is a strong man at this time, he is too kind to a woman. He can now support these old and weak women and children with the gold and silver wealth captured from conquering cities and territories." , but he won’t always be so smooth, these old and weak people in the city will bring him down sooner or later!”

Zheng Mingyu lowered his eyes and covered up the sneer in his eyes.

"What does Fourth Brother mean?" Although he was the one in charge along the way this time, the real person in charge was Zheng Zhongguang, and he was just a puppet pushed to the surface.

"In my opinion, this person will not win the world, but many people in the clan are very optimistic about Chang Yuan, so let's get in touch with him first and then explore his true qualities. Only by making multiple bets can the family continue."

From Zheng Zhongguang's point of view, many things in the city made him feel baffled. What did those beggars care about?What do those orphans care about?Do these people only waste food? Chang Yuan actually used a large amount of food to support such a useless person?
"Have someone go out and find out where Mr. Ning is from."

Many people like Zheng Zhongguang came to check on Chang Yuan's situation, and many of them sought out information about the city from the chosen coachman.

As Chang Yuan's right-hand man, Ning Changrong's name fell into the ears of the world for the first time.

……

Although these people were low-key when they came here, with Chang Yuan's control over Taixi County, it was impossible not to know who these people were.

"General, we have checked everything out. Many of the people in the city are from southern aristocratic families. The Zheng family, the Li family, and the Wang family all sent people here. After they arrived in the city, they found a place to stay, and they kept sending people there. Looking for information outside." Ning Changrong stood below Chang Yuan to report the situation.

Chang Yuan tapped his fingers on the table with a thoughtful look on his face, "Mr. Yi Ning, what do these people want to do here?"

Ning Changrong was really not sure what these people were doing for a while. He shook his head, "I don't know yet, but I will send people to keep an eye on them."

Chang Yuan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, just let people watch what kind of trouble people like them can make."

……

"I didn't expect that this small remote town would be so prosperous. It's not much worse than in the south."

The group of aristocratic families who came to Taixi County felt the prosperity of Taixi County while inquiring about the news. "Where is the front? Why are there so many people?" Zheng Yang patted the entourage around him and asked.

"Back to the young master, I heard that it seems to be called a department store. I don't know the specific size."

Zheng Yang became interested and took the lead, followed by his entourage.

"Master, it's getting late. Let's go back and report the news to the master." The attendant said with some embarrassment.

Zheng Yang felt a little uninterested, and he looked gloomy, "Are you from my young master or from my master? My father asked me to come out to inquire about information. Aren't I coming here to inquire about information?"

The follower swallowed his saliva, lowered his head and dared not speak again.

Zheng Yang, who was still very interested, glanced at him, and then walked forward with an ugly expression.

"Is this a department store?" Zheng Yang looked at the big sign and saw people coming and going inside.

He took the lead and walked in and found a group of people wearing exactly the same clothes introducing things to various customers.

"What are the guests coming to buy today? Our department store has everything. Rice, flour, grains and oils are on the left, cloth and silk are on the right, and all kinds of food are sold in the middle. Whatever you want to buy, we can do it here. Found it." A uniformed salesperson said enthusiastically while pointing in the direction he said.

"Guests can come to us at any time if they have any questions when purchasing items. We won't disturb the customers for now." Then the salesperson withdrew very gracefully.

Zheng Yang raised his eyebrows, "It's interesting."

They didn't want to buy anything, they just wanted to come in and take a look. They didn't expect that there were so many things sold here. No wonder they dared to call it a department store.

Although there are not hundreds of species, there are still fifty or sixty species, covering many aspects of basic necessities, food, housing and transportation.

There were even many strange things that even he had never seen before.

He called the uniformed service staff, "You are a department store...supermarket, right?"

The service staff nodded with a smile.

"There are so many goods here, how did your boss get them?" The Zheng family also has members who are doing business. Although it is in the name of a servant, everyone knows that it is the Zheng family's trading firm.

Although Zheng Yang is uneducated, he knows something about it. Doing business is not that easy, not to mention selling hundreds of products at once.

In this small place, there is a prosperity that is inconsistent with its identity.

"The customers were joking. The goods inside were all entrusted by others to our boss for sale. None of these things belong to our boss, and the boss only charges a part of the commission."

It was the first time Zheng Yang heard such a novel sales method and couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

"You mean these things all belong to other people? You just came out of nowhere?"

Seeing that this man was dressed unusually, the waiter thought that he wanted to come to discuss business with the owner, "This guest is right, but not all the things in here belong to other people, some of them are the owner's own goods. If the guest is interested, If you want to sell things here, you can talk to our owner."
