System: I let you have children, not fight for hegemony

Chapter 182 What to do if you are short of money?
The autumn harvest is gradually coming to an end, and Hu Feizi's "National Fitness" campaign is being launched at various demonstration sites, with plans to lead from one point to another and fully blossom.

At this time, the merchant caravans from various places began to return one by one.

After a period of development, the number of powerful families participating in the Chamber of Commerce has reached 15.

Naturally, these powerful family heads would not lead the team themselves. They would send their bastards and nephews to do the work for them.

This group of young people got on ox carts, donkey carts, and wooden boats, pulling special products from Bashu, and traveled to various parts of the seven countries. Then they carefully selected the goods from various places and transported them back to Bashu.

Because the goods of the trading company are of high quality and low price, and are backed by Bashu County, the quality is guaranteed, so they are very popular and are collectively called "Bajun Trading Company" by the people.

Bajun Trading Company has its footprints all over the seven countries, and its reputation for honest management even spread to the ears of the King of Qin.

When the merchants' sons returned to Bashu, they brought a steady stream of goods of various kinds to Bashu.

"Rent the Cuju venue for ten days and hold a Bashu Chamber of Commerce Expo!" Many fish said to Han Fei.

The life of the people of Bashu is relatively boring, but due to the war this year, the Ba people who joined the army are much richer, and the Qin people can find work very easily. I heard that the price of hiring labor has increased by [-]%.

Han Fei's eyes lit up: "The female monarch still has a way! The people of Bashu suddenly became rich and were reluctant to spend Qin coins. The coins gathered among the people. Now there are signs of money shortage in the county!"

Many fish naturally broke into a cold sweat when they saw this, and then decided to promote consumption.

Historically, part of the reason for the fall of the Qin Dynasty was the collapse of the monetary system.Most of the coins were made of copper, and the output of copper mines was not abundant, so there was a shortage of coins.

Therefore, for a period of time, the Qin Dynasty experienced deflation, and one penny could buy many things.In order to solve deflation, the Qin Dynasty encouraged the use of cloth coins.This is equivalent to directly plundering people's wealth.

Fortunately, the Chamber of Commerce's tentacles spread all over the other six countries and brought back a lot of copper coins through trade, which prevented a money shortage in Bashu.

However, if residents are allowed to only save and not consume, the consequences will be disastrous.

"The Cuju court has been renovated and is enough to accommodate thousands of soldiers!" Hu Feizi proudly stroked his beard and said, who doesn't love Cuju?

Those old veterans, who usually dig trenches as foreign workers, heard that they were going to build a Cuju court, not to mention how hard they worked!
The Cuju they built was similar to the gymnasiums of later generations. It was square, surrounded by five-story stands, with a gate in the southeast, northwest, and northwest directions.

Both the stands and the players' rest areas are luxuriously made of earth and cement!
This is also the most formal and luxurious Cuju venue in Fucheng, and it is the exclusive venue reserved for the Cuju competition by Hu Feizi.

However, in just three days, the Bashu Chamber of Commerce Expo was held at the Cuju Field!
"Fur! The best fur! Look at this white mink!" A man hired by a family was shouting loudly. Although he was a day laborer, his boss said that if he sold more, he would be rewarded!

"Well salt, freshly baked well salt!"

"Beautiful feathers! Bird feathers, chicken feathers, plugs, you are the most beautiful cub!" There was a vendor who dressed himself up like a feather duster, showing off himself like a peacock.

"Deer antlers, musk, and ginseng! They are sold cheaply!" A caravan who had traveled a long distance to Jiaodong shouted at the top of his lungs.Because the road to Jiaodong is far away, other caravans make two or three round trips before I can go there once.

Fortunately, the ginseng there is really cheap. The locals don’t know how valuable ginseng is, but you know it!The doctors Que and Bian Que Niu Buhui prescribed ginseng to Hu Feizi!

The fifteen merchants are engaged in different industries. Some specialize in selling silk, some specialize in selling sugar, and some specialize in selling salt.

Because the profits of the Chamber of Commerce are not distributed equally, but are distributed based on the amount of principal and contribution to the Chamber of Commerce, and after complex performance calculations, there is no need for idlers in the Chamber of Commerce.

Want to lie down?Members of the Chamber of Commerce will be like hungry wolves, trying to devour his original shares.In order to obtain contribution points, merchants try their best to make money.

For example, live fish appeared in the Chamber of Commerce this time!
"Sea fish! Sea fish! Live sea fish!" The vendors selling sea fish were obviously heading for the high-end market.

Bashu is located inland, and all it can eat is river fresh food. Even if it encounters seafood once or twice, it is all sun-dried.Have you ever seen a live fish?
Soon, the stall selling sea fish was crowded with people, but no one dared to come forward.

"Are you really a sea fish?"

"We have never seen sea fish, how can you prove it?" asked an eager buyer.

Without saying a word, the merchant took a ladle of water from the barrel and handed it to the buyer.

The buyer stretched out his finger and dipped it in, his eyes widened in surprise: "It's really salty!"

The words stirred up waves, and the wealthy people who were waiting to watch donated their money generously, hoping to snap up the rare sea fish.

Many fish crowded in the crowd quietly said to Han Fei: "Remember this vendor."

"Here!"

If this person can buy live sea fish, he must have walked to the seaside. From which direction he went to the seaside? I will ask later...

The sea is such a fertile virgin land!
The neat and orderly stalls are full of bustling people, familiar and unfamiliar languages ​​are intertwined, and the shouts are a bit more lively than Handan in the past!
Of course, there were also people who came to Bashu from the other six countries with the caravan. They did not understand the rules of Bashu, and some of them would draw swords against each other if they disagreed.

Such troublemakers will be quickly caught by the patrolling Qin soldiers.

Lots of fish hanging out along the way, the fair was a great success!Everyone is irresistible to the dazzling array of products, and money is spent like water.

Many fish chuckle, why hold a trade fair?This is similar to the Double Eleven event of later generations!If you are faced with one or two favorite things, you may be able to hold it back.

But with so many treasures, the prices are still much cheaper than in the past. This fair will only be held for ten days, and you may have to wait a year for the next one!In addition, everyone around is rushing to buy like crazy, who can bear it?At this time, if you don’t buy more, you will suffer a big loss!

This is how the shopping atmosphere is created!
"Unexpectedly, the female monarch has the talent of Guan Zhong!" Hu Feizi carried both hands full of things, as did the servants behind him.

Many fish glanced at the thing in Hu Feizi's hand and asked in confusion: "Hu Feizi, why did you buy the tiger whip? Didn't Niu Buhui say that your body needs to be recuperated slowly?"

Hu Feizi's face turned red and he didn't know how to answer.

Han Fei on the side laughed out loud. After being glared at by Hu Feizi, he thoughtfully explained to the queen: "Hu Feizi got a new maid. He loves her very much and sleeps with each other every day."

Hu Feizi was reluctant to get angry at the many fishes, so he said to Han Fei: "What's the matter? You hid in my house and saw it?"

Han Fei laughed out loud: "I didn't see it, but I heard it!"

Hu Feizi's face turned green and white. Han Fei's new home was right next door to his residence!
