Chapter 84 Development
Many fish have considered whether to unify weights and measures throughout Bashu.

However, the reality does not allow it. Measuring instruments are precious things to businessmen, and some are even passed down to three generations.

Secondly, the Bashu region is remote and sparsely populated. Merchants are unwilling to take this trade route. Changes in measuring instruments will undoubtedly increase their costs and troubles.

Thirdly, although he assisted in taking charge of the government affairs of Bashu, he had no clear path after all, and publicizing it would only attract the premature attention of the King of Qin.

But in the market in western Jian, it is easy to implement unified measuring instruments.

Forget it, you have to eat one bite at a time and walk step by step. The change starts from the Jianxi Market!
Among the locals in Bashu, the transmission of news is closed off. When it comes to people's livelihood, the news is like wings, flying to every small tribe in Jiulong Mountain.

"The market is open in the west of Jianxi!"

"The western part of Jian is so poor. What can be sold in the market? Wild fruits?"

"Haha, maybe she's a prostitute!"

"What do you know? It's a market opened by the people of Qin! It's led by the government!"

Hiss!

The tribesmen huddled in the thatched house couldn't help but poke their heads out: "The Qin people are going to attack Jiulong Mountain?"

"No, it is said that Baya in the west of Jian and the noble girl of Qin became a brother and sister of the opposite sex, so they set up a market."

"Baya is so lucky." He said this sourly.

Someone said with malice: "Maybe it was a trap set by the Qin people."

"But the Muji tribe has also submitted to the noble daughter of the Qin people, and the Laodig tribe secretly sent people..."

what? !

"Can Bimosa Moko agree?"

Regarding Samoko, the people of the Jiulongshan small tribe were both afraid and secretly wanted to resist.

Because once the tribe is annexed by Samoko, the tribesmen will become his slaves.

"There is salt and grain in the market."

"Alas, we don't have Qin people's coins."

"But there is salt and grain in the market. I heard that the price of salt is much cheaper than in Fucheng."

……

"Let's take a look together?"

"Take me one."

Similar scenes occur in countless small tribes in Jiulong Mountain. Even if the tribe is poor and cannot bring out high-value items, they will still want to watch the excitement, what if they can find something missing?

Baia, the market manager, is having a wonderful life these days!
"Thanks to the foresight of the leader of the village, he swore sworn vows to the female monarch early. Otherwise, how could such a great thing happen to us?"

"That's because the village leader is loyal enough and not as capricious as Bibusi. This is why the lady trusts us."

"No, the village leader and the great witch decided to dedicate their ancestral land. This is a grand thing to do."

"In just a few months, life in the village has become much more prosperous, and the grandson's face has become as fat as blowing air."

Baya put his hands behind his back and deliberately walked around the village several times. He saw many old people sitting in front of their homes, weaving rattan frames for the market, and constantly praising the village owner and the great witch.

Baya's mouth opened wide, a smile almost appeared in his eyes, and he felt a sense of accomplishment that he had never felt before.

The reputation of Jianxi Market spread very quickly.At first, the surrounding small tribes sent one or two people to investigate the situation.

They found that the manager of the market was one of their own and was guarded by Qin soldiers. The market order was very good, there was no forced buying or selling, and the prices were fair.

So, within a few days, the people of the small tribe exchanged mountain treasures and ores for supplies from time to time.It is not easy to visit tribes further away, and they are worried that the food will be sold out due to the time lost on the way back and forth.

In the west of Jian, where there was good food and drink, an idea flashed and he sent old people who stayed at home to weave baskets out of dead vines and sold them to tribesmen from afar at low prices. Everyone was happy.

Baya rubbed his chin. Ever since he became sworn sworn sister, he seems to be a lot smarter. Could it be that those who are close to red are red, and those who are close to ink are black?

This day is another market day that happens once every three days. The weather is beautiful and the weather is fine.

The mist in the mountains is covered with a layer of golden gauze, and the smiling faces of the Ba and Qin people are vaguely visible.

The sounds of hawking and bargaining echoed throughout the market.

Profit is the biggest motivation. In the past, Qin people did not bother to learn Ba language, and Ba people were impatient to listen to Qin language.

In order to facilitate better transactions, Qin merchants can more or less understand the Ba language, and the Ba people can also simply say "how much", "cheaper" and "deal".

However, today's market seems to be cast in a haze.

First, a few small tribes came in a hurry, muttering to each other, then their expressions changed drastically, they gave up the goods for which they had just negotiated prices, and hurriedly ran out of the market.

Then more and more tribes sent people to call back the tribesmen who were trading.

Some Ba people even lost their precious hemp shoes and did not dare to turn around to pick them up.

"What's wrong with these Ba people? They're like lost souls."

"Don't go! If you're not satisfied, I can lower the price by another penny!"

"What happened? Did the Earth Dragon turn over?"

"Bah, bah, bah! Children's words are unbridled." Qinren's enthusiasm for trading was poured cold water on him. Fortunately, the harvest from the previous few markets was enough to cover next month's rent.

However, this situation doesn't look good.

Baya was keenly aware of something strange and wanted to ask other tribesmen, but he didn't expect that when they saw Baya, they ran faster as if they had seen a ghost.

Bibusi told Baya the bad news with a heavy face: "Something happened to the old digging department!"

Baya's mouth was dry and her heart was in her throat: "What's the matter?"

"Relieto, the village leader of the Laodou tribe, his eldest son was kidnapped by Shamoko and sacrificed!" Bibuxi's eyes were gloomy, and there seemed to be a storm vortex in his eyes.

Without saying a word, Baya mounted his horse, holding the token given by his sister, and ran to the governor's house without any hindrance.

Many fish were sitting on top, their thin lips pursed tightly.

"It must be Shamoke's fault!" Hu Feizi looked livid and closed the bamboo slips in his hands hard!
Duo Yu said: "Wang Jian, Zhuo Ran and Mao Sui have newly dug three salt wells. You can send more soldiers to prevent Samoko from causing trouble."

Black Dolphin clasped his fists: "Ms. Jun, can you block the main road up and down the mountain?"

After going over all the details in their minds, many fish shook their heads: "Shamoko doesn't want to go to war with us, so he can only attack the Ba people."

Samoko is like a stubborn rock that blocks many fish from developing in Bashu and has to be removed.

"Brother, I need your help. Tell me as much as you know about Samoko."

Baya gritted his teeth. Just as things got better in the west of Jian, Shamoko wanted to ruin his job. How could he bear it?
"Actually, the tribes of Jiulong Mountain and us have the same origin. It is said that our ancestors are all ancient Qiang people. After coming to Bashu, due to the barriers of mountains and rivers, they slowly developed into two groups." Baya thought for a while and continued. said.

"Those outside Jiulong Mountain are still called Qiang people, and those in the mountains call themselves Yi people."

"We are also Qiang people!" Bibuxi, who had just arrived, corrected unhappily.

Bibuxi knelt down and bowed his head: "Greetings to the queen, I have found out the truth."
