County Magistrate (for all citizens): I can watch ads and get unlimited resources.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries,

Han Yilin invited, "Miss Zhen must be tired after your long journey."

"But it's still early, so why don't I show you around the town first, and we can find out where the grain shops are."

Zhen Bailu did not refuse: "Then I will trouble Lord Han."

quickly,

The caravan, led by soldiers,

We slowly drove into the county town.

As for Han Yilin

Then, taking Zhen Bailu with him, they walked along the main street toward the market.

along the way,

Zhen Bailu looked around. Under her feet was a wide and flat road, with houses and shops on both sides.

on the street,

People carrying loads on their shoulders came and went.

Vendors stood by the roadside, loudly hawking their vegetables, fruits, and various foods.

Workers who had just finished their work walked into the distillery in groups of three or five.

The entire county town,

The air was filled with the noise of people.

Upon seeing this scene, a look of surprise appeared on Zhen Bailu's delicate and pretty face.

"The development of Zhatian County is more prosperous than I imagined."

"The streets are clean, there are many shops, and the market is full of lively atmosphere. What's most remarkable is that the people here all have smiles on their faces, clearly showing that they have truly made this place their home."

Upon hearing Zhen Bailu's praise,

Even the thick-skinned Han Yilin felt embarrassed.

"We're all acquaintances, so let's skip the formalities."

"Since you come from a merchant family and have traveled all over the country over the years, Miss Zhen must have seen many prosperous cities. Why make fun of my small county town?"

Zhen Bailu shook her head. "Your Excellency has misunderstood. My praise just now came from the bottom of my heart."

"Along the way, I have seen many newly built county towns. These towns are overgrown with weeds, the roads are muddy, and many people don't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

"If my prediction is correct, the scene at Zhatian County should have been similar, right?"

"But nowadays, while other counties are still struggling to make ends meet, Zhatian County has already developed to this extent. Lord Han's governance ability truly impresses me."

Han Yilin touched his nose.

"Alright, alright."

"If I keep talking, I'll really get carried away."

"Besides, I'm not as amazing as you make me out to be. I've only gotten this far thanks to good luck."

originally,

Han Yilin's personality,

They have absolutely no connection to humility; on the contrary, they are the type who prefer to show off.

However, in terms of county town development,

He really didn't dare to say he had any credit, after all, the fact that the business was able to develop so well was all thanks to watching GG farm resources.

otherwise,

Under normal development,

I estimate that they won't be much different from other players.

But unfortunately...

When Zhen Bailu saw this behavior, the meaning changed instantly, and even her gaze towards Han Yilin became more appreciative.

"Lord Han is too modest."

"Getting an opportunity once or twice is just luck."

"But the fact that Tianxian County is so well-organized in every aspect, from its city walls and houses to its streets and shops, is something that cannot be achieved by luck alone."

Han Yilin listened with a sense of helplessness.

Well, this thing is inexplicable.

You can't exactly tell the other person that you can get a lot of free resources by watching GG, can you?

"Let's go check out the location of the grain store first."

"You've come at the perfect time. The market has just been upgraded. If you had come yesterday, there probably wouldn't have been any seats available."

Han Yilin decisively chose to change the subject.

He led Zhen Bailu to the market.

After the upgrade,

The market area has been greatly expanded.

The street that originally housed twenty shops has been extended to both sides.

Newly added shops,

Currently,

All empty.

Han Yilin led Zhen Bailu around the market, finally stopping in front of a shop near the main street.

This shop is in a very good location.

Directly opposite the market entrance,

It is easily visible to passersby.

The storefront is also much more spacious than that of ordinary shops.

the most important is,

Behind the shops is a sizable courtyard where several granaries can be built to store grain.

Honestly,

Twenty caravans arrived ahead of us, opening shops in Zhatian County for the first time. Han Yilin personally led them on tours and helped them choose locations.

As for the reasons,

That's naturally because of beauty... ptooey, ptooey, it's naturally because of food.

Food is the most important thing for people.

People are iron rice is steel.

None of the first twenty chambers of commerce were grain merchants.

right now,

The arrival of the Zhen Clan Chamber of Commerce has finally solved a major problem for Zhatian County.

"What do you think of this place?"

"The location is prominent and not far from the city gate."

"After the grain is transported into the city, it doesn't need to go through the entire market; it can be delivered directly to the backyard."

Zhen Bailu glanced at it briefly and said with satisfaction, "Thank you, Lord Han."

"Oh, it's all a small matter."

quickly,

Zhen Bailu called for help.

They began moving the grain to the backyard.

Bags of grain were unloaded from the wagon.

They were piled up in the yard.

Seeing the bustling scene before him, Han Yilin asked, "Miss Zhen, since the grain shop is preparing for long-term operation, I wonder if the Zhen Clan Chamber of Commerce can provide a stable supply of grain?"

"To be honest, Zhatian County has a large population now, and the army is also expanding. The daily food consumption is enormous, and the pressure is so great that I can't sleep."

Zhen Bailu countered, "May I ask, sir, approximately how much grain does Zhatian County consume daily?"

"Let me see."

Han Yilin opened the territory panel.

He glanced at it.

now,

Zhatian County not only had thousands of civilians, but also thousands of soldiers.

Especially light cavalry,

People eat, horses chew.

The daily consumption is terrifying.

With the addition of the newly recruited refugees in the past two days, the territory's daily food consumption has exceeded 20,000 units.

of course,

Zhatian County itself has a lot of grain resources and can produce a portion of the output every day.

However, these outputs alone are clearly insufficient to fill the gap.

"We need to fill a gap of about 10,000 units per day."

Upon hearing the numbers,

Zhen Bailu was clearly somewhat surprised.

Mainly,

For a small county town, such food consumption clearly indicates that it has a large army.

But considering the presence of cavalry...

Zhen Bailu also realized that the real grain producers in Zhatian County were clearly not ordinary people, but cavalrymen.

"If that's the case, the Zhen family can transport a batch of grain to Zhatian County every five days."

"Fifty thousand units per batch, what do you think, sir?"

This quantity,

It's just right to fill the hole.

"OK."

"Then it's settled."

"Regarding pricing, what is Ms. Zhen planning to price it at?"

Zhen Bailu replied, "Just follow the market price, still six coins per unit."

last time,

Out of gratitude for saving his life,

Zhen Bailu sold the item to Han Yilin at a 50% discount, but since it's a business transaction, it's impossible to offer a discount every time.

Even if she were willing,

The Zhen family behind it is not willing to accept this.

Since it was a business matter, Han Yilin was naturally happy to comply.

At a price of six copper coins, 50,000 units would be equivalent to 300,000 copper coins. Although 300,000 might seem like a high number, it would only amount to about 300 taels of silver.

now,

Caravans came and went in an endless stream within Zhatian County.

There are also many foreign tourists.

The taxes generated by these people's spending in the city can provide tens of thousands of copper coins every day.

To know,

This is the result of just being upgraded to a third-level county.

If it develops for a period of time,

Income will definitely increase.

By then,

A mere 300,000 coins is nothing to them.

"Okay, it's a deal."

"In that case, thank you very much, Lord Han."

Next,

That person also

The two sides then discussed some specific details.

The details, including the timing of each grain transport and the handover location, were all agreed upon by the time everything was settled, and it was already getting dark.

Both sides of the market

One by one, the lanterns lit up.

The goods in the backyard of the grain shop have been mostly moved.

Han Yilin glanced at the sky and said, "Miss Zhen, you've traveled a long way and been busy since arriving in Zhatian County. You probably haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"It just so happens that Bafang Restaurant is nearby."

"I'm hosting this dinner today to welcome you back and wash away the dust of your journey."

Upon hearing the invitation,

Zhen Bailu hesitated for a moment.

but,

Considering that the two sides had just reached a cooperation agreement, and that Han Yilin was his savior, he finally nodded slightly.

"Then this humble woman will humbly comply."

"That's more like it."

Han Yilin smiled.

"Walk."

"I'm hungry too."
