When Tu Hao returned to Beijing again, it happened to be after the autumn harvest, and he didn't know him as soon as he got on the pier.

"Why do you feel that the changes are a bit big?" Has it been two months since he left the capital last time?This is not the era of highly mechanized production of the later generations. How can it be possible to change so much in a short period of time by simply using manpower?

The changes in the plants are the most obvious. The trees on both sides of the river are shady, and some people have replanted many low shrubs and colorful flowers. Various facilities have also been established, even swings.

The scope of the pier has at least doubled.I don't know if the fish pier has moved away.After they disembarked from the passenger wharf, they could hardly smell the fishy smell, nor could they hear the sound of selling. Instead, they were replaced by the sound of silk and bamboo from the surrounding teahouses and restaurants, and the faint scent of tea. There were a few sounds of the storyteller slapping the gavel.

There is a special channel for freight.The warehouses not far away are no longer one east and one west, and the closer to the dock, the more neatly the warehouses are built.

Seeing that he was interested, Xu Mingxu suggested: "How about we go and have a look?" After staying on the boat for a long time, it happened to be active, and it happened that the lazy mouse also had this idea.

"Okay." Tu Hao took two steps, leaned on Xu Mingxu unconsciously, and gave half of his body weight to Xu Mingxu.

Xu Mingxu looked funny, and stretched out his arms to take him away: "When we were in the Imperial College, you were the one who took me punching and running around. Why are you so lazy to walk now?"

"Isn't there brother here?" Boss Tu was not ashamed, taking it for granted.He is a man with a beautiful wife, so is he still the little mouse from before?

Then they walked through ten streets all the way, and all they could see were warehouses.People in various costumes move and pick up goods from various warehouses.There are also some warehouses being built nearby.

After passing through the warehouse area, people's voices suddenly became noisy.A newly built Fangshi is right in front of you, and the sign of Haojiangfang is impressive.This not-yet-completed Fangshi is no less than the most prosperous eastern and western cities in the capital, and it even looks a bit like an independent small city.

There are four "city gates" specially approved by Zhang Shishu, one of which is the Shuicheng Gate, which is erected on the canal from Jing County to Raoshui built by Tu Hao.

"I haven't seen the Water City Gate yet." Tu Hao was curious, so the two went over to have a look, and happened to come across a standing stone monument.As soon as he saw the words on it, his face turned red instantly.

Xu Mingxu whispered to him in a whisper: "Your uncle treats you so kindly."

According to the stele, this section of the canal was directly named Haojiang because Tu Hao presided over the excavation.On the back of the stele is a planning map of Haojiangfang.

According to the plan, the current wharf will be completely incorporated into Haojiangfang.If this is the case, the scale of Haojiangfang may become the largest in the country in a short time.

"What's the matter, isn't it just to make fun of me?" The navy in Xizhou dared to start an ocean expedition, and he didn't believe that the navy here in Jiangdanpo hadn't been trained yet.Such a water city gate, or as a military training, or as a line of defense to defend the capital, can never be simply used as a square city.

Tu Hao was afraid of being recognized, so he quickly pulled Xu Mingxu away.

The interior of Haojiangfang is still a large construction site, but the area just outside the entrance is extremely lively.

When Tu Hao took a closer look, he understood, isn't this the commodity wholesale trading market?It may be because many shops have not been built yet, and many shops can only rent in one shop and display their samples.

If other merchants are interested in the samples and the price can be negotiated, they will immediately take people to the warehouse to see and pick up the goods. It looks a bit like a trade fair.

He has been to some towns now.In most cities and towns, including the capital city, industries that operate various projects are concentrated.For example, there is a market for selling cloth, and a market for blacksmithing.

Beijing has two exceptions.

One is Fanshang Bazaar, which sells foreign goods, gold and silver utensils, gems, spices, fabrics and so on.The goods brought by Fan merchants all the way are expected to be sold at high prices, even some flowers and plant seeds are also expensive.The people who haunt Fanshi all have money on hand.Commodity varieties are naturally impossible to simplify.

The second is the department store, which has a wide variety of things and everything you expect to find.Whenever something new appears in the capital, the first thing to be put on the shelves must be in the department store.The commodity prices here are generally lower than those in Fanshi, but not too much lower.Even with the concept of one-stop shopping, the main consumer groups are still not ordinary people.

In Haojiangfang in front of him, he did see a bit of real one-stop shopping.

If it is fully completed, the scale of Haojiangfang will be very large, and it will be divided into many areas according to the types of commodities.Even if it has not been implemented in this way, it can already see signs of a wholesale market.

Most of the people who come and go are big and small businessmen, there are also some managers of big families, and some ordinary people who are careful and careful.

Tu Hao just stood by the side of the market for a while before he realized that the common people had bought group purchases.

Most of the vendors in the market are rushing to make big deals.They need to clear the goods as soon as possible, and will not choose retail, which will have a minimum order quantity.

It is basically difficult for single-family people to meet this minimum purchase amount.They will join forces with their relatives and friends, or directly after the prestigious elders and elders organize them, to purchase them in a unified manner.Even if you just buy some ordinary rice grain cloth, you can save some money.A small amount makes a lot, which is quite a lot for a family.

For businessmen, such a form is not difficult to accept.There are a few flexible minds who simply mark the minimum quantity and price that they can accept.

In fact, the embryonic form of group buying has already existed in places such as Beijing and Taiping, but it is definitely not as mature as it is now.

Boss Tu has given himself the title of the father of business in his heart. He feels that the market economy has developed to the current level, and many things do not need him to teach step by step. Some smart people can draw inferences about other cases from one instance.

Xu Mingxu knew that Tu Hao liked to watch this kind of bustling market, especially in this market, which was crowded and noisy, but orderly.

Tu Hao pointed to some people who were wearing "avant-garde" bright-colored vests in addition to their daily clothes, and said, "The ones in the yellow vests should be in charge of cleaning, and the ones in the red vests should be in charge of security."

Security is a private security force, and it was originally exclusive to some big families.According to the different levels and abilities of each household, there will be some private soldiers, nurses, servants, etc. to some extent.These people are all similar in nature, the only difference lies in the level of weapons that can be equipped.There are also some shops that hire some social idlers to provide security, usually in special business places such as gambling houses and Goulan courtyards.

The quality of these security personnel is also very worrying, usually a factor of social instability.

Xu Mingxu observed it for a while, and said, "It should be hired by a regular bodyguard agency."

"Yeah." He thought for a while and said, "If we can set up an escort agency..."

With the development of Dahan's business, the Escort industry also began to prosper.Now the red vests patrolling and standing guard in the market are either tall and straight, or they are strong and powerful. They look different from those street gangsters who fight against "a big wave of zombies is coming".

These security guards obviously practiced martial arts since childhood. Although they are not very young, their kung fu should not be bad.Their experience may not be enough to carry out long-distance transportation on their own, but it is still enough to deter Xiaoxiao in a market.

For the Escort Bureau, this is also a good opportunity for young Escort Masters to exercise before officially taking up their posts.

There is a shop in the wholesale market with the sign of United Escort on it.Merchants in the market need to hire people, so they come here to talk directly, which is very convenient.

Seeing him stop suddenly, Xu Mingxu couldn't help asking: "What did you think of?"

"I'll talk about it later." Tu Hao stood at the door of the United Escort Bureau and looked at it. The wall was covered with bulletin boards of the same format.It clearly states a certain bodyguard agency, what routes to run, rough charging standards and so on.It's almost like a courier company.

The two turned around and came out, and the family's carriage was already waiting outside.

As soon as Tu Hao got into the carriage, he hung up the curtains, still looking outside, and sighed, "This is all a city." Not long ago, it was an urban-rural junction.Maybe when he comes back next time, Haojiangfang has already been completed.

"Yes." Whether it's Anchang or Jing County, seeing the lives of the people in these places getting better and better, as a person who used to be a magistrate in these places, he is very happy from the bottom of his heart, " By the way, what did you think of in the market just now?"

Tu Hao was hooked by Xu Damei's smile, and he was distracted, but he didn't hear clearly: "Huh?"

Really, he's an old couple, why hasn't his magic resistance improved a bit?Nothing!

After Xu Mingxu asked the second time, he regained his composure: "I originally thought that it would be good if we let those retired soldiers open a security business." Many retired soldiers have transferred to security companies. Especially retired special forces are very popular in this industry.

What security line is, Tu Hao doesn't need to explain, Xu Mingxu can understand.He pulled Tu Hao's sleeves into his arms: "It shouldn't work."

Tu Hao took advantage of the situation and leaned softly into Xu Mingxu's arms, sighing: "Yes, no."

All along, the so-called veterans he has come into contact with are actually excellent soldiers who have made many contributions. The key is that they have a good relationship with Grandpa Ye and are his old subordinates.

When Grandpa Ye was in poor health and was no longer allowed to go to the battlefield, he himself transferred to the military department to take up a civilian position. When he left, he didn't forget these old subordinates.

If you think about it casually, you know that this kind of treatment is impossible for everyone.

In this era, apart from those who were exiled for various reasons, there was mainly a household registration system called military registration, and there was no such thing as retirement.

No matter how much Tu Hao was trusted by the emperor now, Rao Shui would just dig it, but he didn't dare to change the household registration system.This is something that shakes the foundation of the entire country. The mouse is too timid to touch it at all.The key is that there is no such social foundation.

Although Tu Hao didn't say it out loud, Xu Mingxu, as the person next to him and one of the people who were most influenced by Tu Hao's thoughts in his life, could somewhat understand what he meant, and hugged the listless little mouse even tighter. One point, said softly: "I really want to see the world in your imagination. Everyone can have enough food and clothing, can find a job to support themselves, can read and practice calligraphy since childhood, and can be cured..."

"You can also eat whatever you want, and eat whatever you want." People regard food as their heaven, how can they forget the most crucial point?

Xu Mingxu reached out his hand to touch the ribs of his own mouse, and frowned: "It's definitely not okay to eat carelessly." Then he touched the soft belly, "Weigh the weight when we get home in a while."

I weighed it before boarding the boat, and it has finally gained three catties steadily in the past six months.But there is no platform on board, I am afraid that three catties of meat have not been lost.

Tu Mouse kicked his legs because of being touched, and angrily scolded his unreserved wife with a blushing face: "Where are you putting your hands?" Then he said, "The curtain is still open." Until they are... ah?What is that?

Xu Mingxu subconsciously lowered the car curtain, and then realized that his other hand was almost checking the tail of the mouse.

The body of a young person is when a single spark can start a prairie fire.Xu Mingxu cared about Tu Hao's body, but his frequency was not that high.It was okay when I didn't realize it, but now that I was told, my breathing became heavy immediately.

Unfortunately, the present occasion is not suitable.

Tu Mouse was not eaten by the beauty snake, but was licked to satisfy his greed.

Xu Mingxu's movements were very careful, even the coachman didn't know that the two of them were doing something in the carriage along the way.As for Tu Hao's legs went limp and almost fell when he got out of the car... Isn't this normal?

My Dalang has been weak since he was a child. If he is outside for such a long time, even a strong and healthy man will be weak for a few days.What's more, my Dalang is just a rat spirit who hasn't practiced enough?

The frail rat spirit took advantage of the situation and was deficient for two days. It was unnecessary to go to the Yamen to work, but he still had to report to the leaders and ask for money.

The author has something to say:

Little Mouse (=￣ω￣=): Your Majesty, give me the money.

Uncle Zhang (￣▽￣)~*: Go find your father.

Little Mouse (=￣ω￣=): Mr. Tu, allocate funds to my department.

Butcher (→_→): No.

Little Mouse (￣工￣lll): Dad, give me the money.

Butcher ⊙▽⊙: Give it!
