Chapter 333 Mara City
2,000 meters away from the preset bridge, a new "Western Horse Market" was established.
Its location was created by compromise, not as far as Liao Xiang and others asked, nor as close as Yu Weichao and others asked. Of course, the items and prices sold are absolutely commendable.
"Western Malaysia Market" is a common wholesale market model. The two-story xiǎo building plus the one-story movable houses form a shop. Each store has an area of more than 300 square meters, and the lower floor is operated. The second floor can be used as a shop or a place for office or rest, while the mobile house is a nearby warehouse. In this way, two side-by-side streets form the first phase of the market, which accommodates a total of 20 merchants.
Although there are very few items, the types of items sold in 20 stores are more than hundreds of merchants in Malay City. Chen Yi once sent sportswear, Jiefang shoes, rubber shoes and metal pots to the Western Mainland. The sharp knife is just ordinary goods in the "Western Horse Market". More professional and refined civil products have become the mainstream in the market. Leather gloves are very comfortable for riders, textile gloves are suitable for infantry blunt weapons, thick cotton gloves can be extremely hot pot... Comfortable silk or cotton underwear, waterproof shoes, plastic sports and knitted fabric shoes continue to be popular among villagers in Mala City... Cheap mosquito nets and laundry detergent are the focus of the merchants' rush to buy, and I don't know where they sent it... The ring made of soft metal has received unanimous praise from archers. In fact, most of the people who can afford it are the noble children of the city...
As a remote city-state, Mara City is not a commercial city. The same handmade products for thousands of years can be said to be mature and durable, which greatly reduces the expectations of residents to buy new goods... The "Western Malaysia Market" is different. The fresh things sold by merchants not only reduce the labor burden, but most importantly, it can increase family income.
Although the Senate of Mara City issued an order prohibiting the residents of the city from going to the West Horse market, the sacrifices of the temple were also widely publicized in the city, and merchants who believe in money would not care about the Senate.
In fact, when Huang Wei, who had worked as a vendor among the students, became the direct person in charge of the "Western Horse Market", his primary policy was to turn the "Western Horse Market" into a wholesale and retail market in Mala City - this was the wish he had when he was a vendor in Jiangbei. Now it has not only come true, but it is also quite in line with the current situation.
Wholesale and retail have formed a huge price difference. Merchants have to make a profit of about 50 yuan, while merchants have to make a profit of about 30 yuan. Finally, when they arrive in the store, the price has increased by 100... No matter how people from other city-states view this issue, for consumers in Mara City, if they take 3 kilometers and ferry to the Western Malaysia market, they can buy a lot of good things at half the price. If they bring a few more pieces to sell on the market, it is equivalent to picking them up for free...
In just two weeks, the vitality of the West Malaysia market was aroused.
Since Chen Yi appeared near Yuncun, merchants from all over the country sold Jiangning goods to Mala City, even a faraway city. It was only because Chen Yi himself was too lazy to buy different types of goods that "Jiangning goods" were mainly clothes, shoes, hats and metals. Even so, they received unanimous praise from Mala City, just like Western goods entered China back then, with a reputation of being clever and easy to use. Of course, as the value of the reputation, its high price is unbearable for ordinary people...
In contrast, the city wall of Xijiang Shuizhai is as delicate as a toy of a child.
Da Yang thought to himself: The defense of the city wall with a stone structure is better than that of the steel and concrete structure of the martial arts school students are all guys who speak rituals. They are actually thinking about building a city wall with a steel and soil. A city wall with a length of 20 kilometers and a height of 20 meters, even if it is only 7 meters wide, it requires 2.8 million cubic meters of steel and concrete. According to the most common standards, 2.5 tons of each cubic meter will be supplied with 7 million tons of materials.
Dayang is considered a middle and high-level manager of the Water Village. He knows that the current supply is mainly completed by Chen Yi, about two to three times a month, with a total of about 400,000 tons. Among them are arms, daily necessities, morale-supported food, goods for sale, newly added vehicles and fuel, various machinery and even simple factory equipment. Although building materials are one of the bulk and are mainly steel bars, it is difficult to exceed 200,000 tons per month, and 7 million tons of supply... Hum... It is better to send 200,000 tons of bombs to destroy Mara City.
"City check, the poll tax is on the
The high-pitched shouts of the Western Continental style interrupted Da Yang's thoughts, and he quickly took out a small amount of money and prepared to hand it over.
In the past, Mala City did not charge city taxes. Later, Xijiang Cityzhai used a good citizen certificate as a certificate and collected a cap tax when villagers entered and left the city, but it was quickly learned by the nobles of Mala City.
A villager from Kimura stopped Da Yang who was trying to pay for money. He saw another person in front of him skillfully lost two small money and gave another small money to the soldiers in front of Mén. Da Yang and the remaining two people were exempted from the fees and entered the city directly.
**
Da Yang wrote down two words in his head again. A ** regime is easy to defeat, but it also means that this is a wealthy regime.
Perhaps the frequent wars in the Western Continent made Mala City more like a military fortress. There were not many pure civilians in the city, and from time to time, they could see cavalry or infantry holding weapons passing by. Thinking that several heavy cavalry units and heavy infantry units were stationed outside the city, Da Yang's idea of occupying Mala City by force was weakened a little.
However, he still tried hard to observe the defensive facilities within his eyes - the possibility of forceful occupation has never disappeared. If Chen Yi had not always considered the reaction of the temple, the one who entered the city now should have been an army. And Da Yang's main goal was to investigate the possibility of occupation.
He looked as he walked, but he was just like the villagers who had entered the city for the first time.
From time to time, the sound of "smacking" was made under his feet, which was that he stepped on sewage or feces. The residents of Mala City, who did not have an underground sewage system, were used to this, and some children even played barefoot on the street.
The high-ranking officials and nobles mainly ride. Da Yang had to gradually adapt as the Kimura people and endure their boring jokes about excrement.
"Wooden houses, wooden soldiers, leather equipment... if there are 20mén cannons or rockets, it would be too simple to burn Mara City into magma City."
However, the nobles of the Elderly Association will definitely not surrender.
The only thing that can make them surrender is the collapsed city wall.
While thinking, Da Yang listened to the "bar" sound under his feet, and refused to see what was happening.
"Go and eat." A Kimura man suddenly said in simple language.
"Okay, go to the largest one." The other two Kimura people cheered. They have been to Mala City more than once. Although they were reluctant to even eat a thin soup cake, now, the treatment of 1 copper coin per week is enough to make them taste the best restaurant in the city.
Da Yang followed in without any worries. As soon as he sat down near the window of the hall, he saw a familiar face.
"Chan...Boss."
