Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 339: Chapter 328: Five Army Camps, Personal Soldier Camp

After the houses and shops in Guard City were sold or rented out, Guard City quickly became bustling.

Every family sent people over to renovate their houses and shops.

For a while, carriages lined up at the city gates; unavoidably, many things were not available in Tenglong Guard, such as furniture for the houses which couldn’t be found locally.

And of course, those who wanted to open shops naturally had to transport their goods over, arranging for Shopkeepers and clerks to come.

At the same time, the marketplace within the city also opened up, and many military households from the surrounding garrisons received the news and came to Guard City for the large market.

Some military households simply wanted to buy some things, while others wanted to sell some items.

Tenglong Guard actually did not have any specialties; its jurisdiction was mostly flat farmland, with neither extensive forests nor big rivers, its only advantage possibly being close to the sea.

However, the military households did have some items for sale, such as dried goods like dates, hazelnuts, peanuts, chestnuts, shiitake mushrooms, wood ear mushrooms, etc.

There were also those selling eggs, chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, and other poultry and livestock.

Since the beginning of this year, the Guardian Department had bought many chicks and piglets and distributed them to several military households for breeding.

Of course, these things cost money, but credit was available. Back then, most military households were poor, so they all bought on credit from the government office. After the autumn harvest, the households settled their debts, and the poultry and livestock became theirs.

Besides poultry and livestock, some military households who caught a couple of rabbits also came to the government office to sell them. Renting a stall at the marketplace only cost one copper coin per day, so even just selling two rabbits wouldn’t result in a loss.

The opening of the marketplace caused quite a stir in Tenglong Guard. Many military households didn’t do anything else but came to join the hustle and bustle. For a moment, Guard City was overcrowded, and the liveliness was a bit excessive.

However, when it comes to the most profitable business, it was the Luo family’s textile shop.

The Luo family obtained their shop earlier than others. By the time other families got their shops, the Luo family’s textile shop had already opened for business.
