Volume 1 Chapter 377 The Street Stall Economy Grows Rapidly
Ever since he took the lead in opening up shipping, shipping has led to the development of many other industries. Day by day, these industries have gradually grown stronger, making the people on both sides of the coast richer, and also causing the places along the way to be transformed from the originally information-isolated and beaten towns to the towns that can now be named.
Moreover, not only the exchange of information has become more convenient, but also items have become easier to exchange, and many people can even seek medicine in other places.
In the past, bandits and officials colluded with each other. If you wanted to pass through some narrow passes, you would definitely be robbed. Therefore, many people did not dare to go by land to seek medicine even if they were sick and knew where the medicine was.
But now it is obvious that with the development of shipping, there are large fleets, and the large fleets are equipped with professional thugs. So as long as you pay a certain amount of protection fee, you can be protected by them and take their ships to seek medicine. This finally gives some hope to those who are sick.
Of course, the opening of shipping brought more than just these changes, including some dietary changes, and Su Muyan was certainly one of the buyers who benefited the most.
In the past, people only dared to take advantage of the situation and open their own shops in some economically prosperous places. However, there are so many lands in the world that no one has opened his own shop.
Things are much better now. At least with my good luck I can do some small business along the coast.
Even some aquatic products are selling much better than before, and people are more accepting of them.
Of course, if we were to say what has become the most prosperous, it would definitely be the street stall economy.
In the past, there were all kinds of stalls here, but everyone’s items were very similar, and they were all from people nearby, so they couldn’t sell anything at all. But now it’s different. Since the opening of shipping, these stall owners can get things from all over the world to set up stalls.
This means that everyone who sets up a stall sells different things. Compared to before, everyone puts a lot of thought into their items, so everyone's items are unique and the items they buy are also unique. This leads to the fact that when the young ladies from official families come out to buy things, they can't stop.
Because these are all unique, only I have them and no one else can have them, so I don’t feel any pain when buying them, and I even feel a sense of joy after a shopping spree.
Therefore, after the opening of shipping, clothing, food, culture, and the small economy of street vendors have all been affected in various aspects.
Su Muyan has opened his own restaurants in some larger towns in the local area. These restaurants rely on the young apprentices trained by his own chefs, and now the business is booming with people coming and going every day.
Of course, I also developed several teams. Some people were responsible for sailing merchant ships on the canal, and some were responsible for setting up stalls when they arrived at a place, and then taking them back to replenish stocks when they arrived here again.
Each person is responsible for a place, and when they set up stalls in a scenic area, they will understand the characteristics of this place very clearly, and know what people need, and purchase goods according to people's needs.
Therefore, in terms of setting up stalls, Su Muyan's team is truly very competitive, which has also driven the small bosses of these street stall economies. Everyone is racking their brains every day to think about what goods they should sell every day, what kind of goods are independent, unique, and needed by customers.
One by one, they all started to expand, and in all aspects. This meant that within a short period of time, the economies of these cities quickly doubled, tripled, quadrupled, and even increased tenfold!
I have to say that since the opening of shipping, the county magistrates in every county have been grinning from ear to ear. In the past, when there were years of disasters and no money could be allocated for disaster relief, everyone was very worried.
But now, the other side's economy has gradually become prosperous, and these county magistrates have also developed a sense of prevention and set up special funds for disaster response.
These silvers were taken from the hands of passing merchant ships, and the big merchant ships did not care about this way of taking advantage of them.
To be honest, it is all for the common people of the world to live a better life. So when people make more money, their thinking will automatically change, and they will automatically do these things for their country.
Because they no longer want to fight with swords and spears on the frontier, no longer want to hear the rustling sound of the autumn wind outside the Great Wall, and no longer want to massacre the people of the world with blood!
Everyone understands that without a small family there would be no big family, but at the same time, without a big family there would be no small family!
Therefore, although the emperor was young, the ministers under his control were united. Especially now that they could have enough food to eat, everyone had more energy and willingness to develop other things.
It’s really amazing how smart and intelligent the ancients were. They invented water wheels, some irrigation tools, and of course some tools suitable for sowing.
These tools greatly improved efficiency, relieved people's fatigue during work, and allowed those smart minds to see the direction of future development. So for a while, everyone in the country had a strong desire in their hearts, working hard, climbing up, and being the best version of themselves.
The popularity of the street stall economy was not sudden, nor was it just because of the opening of the Grand Canal.
A pure street stall economy is indeed a typical cultural representative of a town, so when you pass through each county, the items they display are all different.
In order to better experience the local customs and culture, Su Muyan waited for the street stall economy to become completely popular, and then boarded her own merchant ship and went out for a thorough tour, in order to truly feel the wealth and prosperity of ancient times.
As the ship paraded, I gradually saw every detail here, and I realized that no matter what era it was, people were always hardworking. As long as they were hardworking and had this quality, their lives would not be too bad as long as there was a glimmer of hope for a smooth life.
