Chapter 1027, Mutual Market

   "I haven't felt it before, but after my mother left, I found out that she really helped me a lot when she was there."

  At the end of a year, Dahua felt that she was almost tired and paralyzed.

  If the mother-in-law is there, helping her watch the three little ones is already a big help, let alone giving her some advice from time to time.

  Xiao Yeyang personally twisted the hot kerchief on Daohua and asked her to wipe her face: "Thanks for your hard work during this time."

As the head mother of the palace, she has to maintain the relationship with the capital, receive the female relatives from Xiliang, and take care of his uncle and three children. This job is no easier than doing a foreign job. It is laborious and laborious. Labor.

  He can work hard outside without distractions, thanks to Yiyi helping him to take care of the housework and maintain the relationship with all parties.

  Daohua quickly washed, and went to Nuange to look at the child.

  Taozi and the twins are lying on the kang, covered with their own quilts, and Daozi is telling the two little ones about making a mess in the palace.

  The twins also don’t know if they can understand them. Anyway, they stared at their brother with their eyes wide open, and their small mouths made babble sounds from time to time.

Daohua didn't go in, and looked at the door for a while, and asked the nurse and the maid to take care of her. Then she went back to the inner room and saw Xiao Yeyang sitting on the bedside and flipping a book. She couldn't help asking, "What are you looking at these days? "

  Xiao Yeyang opened the warm bed, let Daohua go up, and then showed her the book.

   "Illustration of the Western Regions!"

   Daohua looked through it. It was a book that introduced the situation of the countries of the Western Regions. "What do you look at this for?"

Xiao Yeyang walked down, resting his arms under his head: "Xiliao has been considered peaceful in recent years, and the tribute paid every year is also given in time. Xiliang is close to Xiliao. It is impossible for the people on both sides to be indifferent at all. Coming, do you remember Bamubian Town?"

  Inaba nodded.

  Xiao Yeyang: "Since Xiliao and Daxia are not at war, more and more people go to Bamubian Town to do business. I called Ma Teng to ask, the annual transaction volume is not a small number."

   "I was thinking, this kind of transaction cannot be prohibited. In this case, it is better to put the transaction on the surface, so that the skills will promote trade, and the court can still collect taxes."

  Ina Flower: "So you want to open a mutual market?"

  Xiao Yeyang saw Daohua and guessed his own purpose. He took her hand and kissed: "He who knows me, Yan Yi!"

   Daohua glanced at him obliquely, withdrew her hand, put the book under her pillow, and wandered into the bed.

As soon as he lay down, Xiao Yeyang was held in his arms.

  Xiao Yeyang is a natural stove. When it comes to winter, Daohua likes to use him for warmth, and is happy to lean in his arms and listen to him.

  "Xiliang is located in the frontier, coupled with the influence of the geographical environment, even if high-yield grains have been fully promoted, the people still can only maintain adequate food and clothing."

   "In order for the people to become prosperous, in addition to the government's need to make a difference, it also needs to attract foreign rewards to come here to do business."

  "Only when commodities are in circulation, can the people profit, and the government can receive more taxes when the people become rich, and in order to better build Xiliang."

   Daohua smiled and looked at Xiao Yeyang: "If you feel good, then do it. Anyway, I support you."

   Seeing Daohua's eyes sparkling and looking at herself with admiration, Xiao Yeyang's heart moved, and he lowered his head and kissed her kiss on the cheek, and continued:

   "In the past two years, the Xiliang official road has been improved day by day, and the post has been added and repaired a lot. The security of the territory has also been significantly improved after the bandits cleared up."

  "Caravans are more convenient. I think the news of the opening of the mutual market will attract many businessmen."

Daohua nodded: "The BMWs, spices, and gems from Xiliao are very popular in Daxia, and the silk and porcelain of Daxia are also scarce by the Xiliao people. There is a mutual market. There will be many merchants here."

  Xiao Yeyang: "Never mind other things. Horses and tea, two materials, can only be handled by merchants selected by the court."

  "You have to ask the emperor's uncle for this matter, and it is not easy to open exchanges. After thinking about it, I decided to use Bamubian Town as a demonstration first, and it will be added in the future."

  Taohua said silently: "When the exchange is open, everyone with keen business opportunities can perceive that there is profit in it, and I am afraid that it will attract a group of people to come over."

Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "What's the matter? I will discuss with Master Wang and come up with a specific charter. Anyone who participates in the exchange must get the government's permission and pay a certain amount of tax to the government based on the amount of the transaction. "

   Seeing Xiao Yeyang's thoughtfulness, Daohua didn't say much, and slowly fell asleep by nestling in his arms.

  Looking at Daohua's sleeping face with stretched eyebrows and slightly raised corners of his mouth, Xiao Yeyang smiled, kissed Daohua's forehead, pulled the quilt over it, and fell asleep.

  In early February, after Xiao Yeyang and several officials visited Bamubian Town on the spot, the Zhezi about opening the exchange market in Xiliangbian Town was sent to the capital.

  The capital, the imperial palace.

After the emperor read Xiao Yeyang’s excerpts, he invited the first assistant Yang Chenghua and several Shangshu to discuss. After a fierce discussion, several ministers felt that opening a mutual market would be beneficial to the economic and cultural exchanges between Great Xia and the Western Regions. Agreed to this proposal.

  The emperor agreed with it in his heart, and the next day he brought it out for discussion during the morning court.

  As soon as the news came out, the civil and military officials once again had a heated discussion, some for and some against.

  The eldest prince was silent, and everyone knew that since the emperor had said this in the morning, most of the matter had been settled, and it was unintentional to talk about it.

  At this moment, several people are thinking about whether this matter can benefit themselves.

   Obviously, mutual market transactions are definitely profitable.

  The eldest prince thought that Anjia had left Xiliang, and he had no manpower in Xiliang, so he was very depressed.

  I think again that after Xiao Yeyang's mother returned to Beijing, she directly confronted Anjia. Several times in public, the Anjia family was unable to come to stage, and her head was aching.

   While the prince was still thinking about these bad things, the emperor announced that he agreed to open a mutual market in Xiliang.

  Some aristocratic families saw the benefits in the mutual market and wanted to take over this errand. Unfortunately, the emperor did not intend to appoint an official to be responsible in the past, and it was regarded as acquiescence to let Xiao Yeyang handle it.

  Although I did not receive an errand, after the next dynasty, the news that Xiliang was about to start trading has spread extremely quickly.

  Family families and officials have businessmen supported by them. Obviously, they all want to get a share of the mutual market.

Xiao Yeyang knew that the emperor would probably agree that before the imperial decree was issued, Wang Shiye and several officials would formulate the rules and regulations of the mutual market, and then sent craftsmen to expand the town of Bamubian and re-plan it. I took a look at Bianzhen.

  Before March, the first batch of merchants came to Xiliang.
