As soon as they tasted the noodles and pancakes made of wheat flour, they all couldn't help but give them a thumbs up and thought they tasted so delicious.
There is also the specialty food of Lao Miao Town, oil-splashed noodles, which Zhou Bin taught everyone based on his own memory.
After tasting it, everyone said it tasted great, so it became a specialty food for entertaining guests in Lao Miao Street.
Those people were just curious at first, but after eating their wheat noodles in Lao Miao Town, they all couldn't forget it.
So some people tried to buy some wheat to take back so that they could also eat such delicious food.
As more and more people came to ask questions, Zhou Bin simply decided to set up a granary in the town to sell the wheat that everyone left over and increase everyone's income.
The villagers in the town can sell the wheat they leave behind according to their own circumstances, and the grain warehouse will buy it back at the same price.
The granary stores grain and then sells it to customers who come to buy it, so everyone is very satisfied.
A month later, the whole Baijiang City knew that there was excellent wheat in Lao Miao Town, and everyone came to buy food.
The people in the town also received a good income and everyone felt very satisfied.
At this time, the peppers that everyone had planted before were slowly maturing.
Everyone can harvest a lot of fresh peppers every day. Some people grow so much that they can’t eat them all at once.
Zhou Bin simply opened a vegetable stall in the granary, specializing in selling peppers and local vegetables.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the peppers were put on display, they immediately attracted the interest of guests from other places.
After they tasted the chili peppers, although they were sweating from the spiciness, they were reluctant to put them down.
In this way, peppers became a hot commodity again.
A pound of chili peppers is now worth thirty copper coins, which is more expensive than wheat, which is only twenty copper coins per pound.
Everyone was very happy to see such good income.
Gradually, the entire Lao Miao Town began to become lively, and people from the entire Baijiang City came here to buy food and peppers.
Zhou Bin arranged special personnel to maintain market order and ensure fair trading for everyone.
When he had nothing to do, he would go to the grain warehouse and the vegetable market to see how everyone's business was going.
Seeing everyone's business getting better day by day, Zhou Bin felt very happy in his heart.
That day, Zhou Bin was resting at home when Han Jinshu suddenly walked in with an anxious look on his face.
Zhou Bin took one look and immediately asked, "Uncle Han, what happened?"
Han Jinshu said in panic, "Commander-in-chief, something bad has happened. Someone is coming from Baijiang City."
Zhou Bin was stunned: "What Baijiang City?"
Han Jinshu said, "They are the subordinates of Bai Feichen, the mayor of Baijiang City. They are here to collect taxes."
"Huh? They want to collect taxes? What does that mean?" Zhou Bin felt very strange.
When Han Jinshu saw Zhou Bin's confused face, he simply gave him a detailed introduction.
In fact, all of this place belongs to Baijiang City. The entire Baijiang City includes six small towns, including Lao Miao Town.
The lord of Baijiang City, Bai Feichen, is the master of this entire land, and everyone here must obey his orders.
At the beginning, because Lao Miao Town was so poor, Bai Feichen looked down on it and let it fend for itself.
Now that Lao Miao Town has begun to prosper, Bai Feichen has noticed this place.
Therefore, Bai Feichen sent his fifth disciple Bai Yongxing to lead a group of people to the granary.
They told Han Jinshu that they had to pay taxes in order to continue their business, otherwise their grain warehouses and vegetable markets would be closed down.
When Zhou Bin heard this, he immediately became unwilling.
This place was so poor before, but they didn't care. Why are they here to take advantage of them just now that they are getting a little better?
Moreover, Zhou Bin is the commander-in-chief of Lao Miao Town, and everyone chose him to do this task.
Why should Bai Feichen seize the fruits of their labor? Isn't this tantamount to robbery?
Thinking of this, Zhou Bin said loudly: "Uncle Han, let's go and see what they want to do."
Han Jinshu was previously assigned by Zhou Bin to be responsible for the daily management of the grain warehouse and the vegetable market.
Now, apart from this matter, he was more anxious than anyone else, so he immediately followed Zhou Bin.
When we arrived at the door of the granary, we saw that everyone was gathered at the gate.
Zhou Bin was very confused. Why did everyone come out?
He walked over quickly, and when the villagers saw Zhou Bin coming, they hurriedly surrounded him.
Old Man Liu said angrily, "Commander-in-Chief, they won't let us do business, and they won't let us in."
Old Yang also said: "Yes, they said that if we don't pay taxes, we can't continue to do business."
Zhou Bin nodded and said, "I see. I'll go take a look."
As he spoke, Zhou Bin walked over.
When he entered the granary, Zhou Bin frowned. There was no ordinary citizen inside.
There were only six or seven people in silk clothes standing there arrogantly, and no one knew what they were talking about.
Han Jinshu hurriedly followed and introduced: "Young Master Bai, this is Commander Zhou from Lao Miao Town."
A few people looked back and saw a young man who was dressed very simply, no different from the ordinary people here, and an old man following behind him.
They had just met this old man and knew that he was Mr. Han from Laomao Town.
So the young man in the lead, who looked very arrogant, asked, "Are you the leader of Lao Miao Town?"
Zhou Bin said loudly: "Yes, I am Zhou Bin, the leader of Lao Miao Town. May I ask who you are?"
The young man glanced at Zhou Bin and said proudly, "I am Bai Yongxing, the fifth disciple of Bai Feichen, the Lord of Baijiang City. I came here today to tell you something. You must pay taxes for the grain warehouse and vegetable market here, otherwise you can no longer operate."
Zhou Bin actually knew it a long time ago, but he still asked: "Why do we have to pay taxes?"
Bai Yongxing said impatiently: "Why are you talking so much? Your Lao Miao Town belongs to our city lord, so of course you have to pay taxes."
Zhou Bin was a little angry: "Oh? You guys think of us now? At that time, everyone was almost dying, why didn't you come over?"
