The Princess of Northern Land

"Centralized selling?" Xiao Yang’s eyes brightened, this idea sounded pretty good.

"Yes, like a vegetable market, we can build four large sheds according to four directions, then divide the territories by categories such as vegetables, fruits, dry goods, and aquatic products. The government can appoint dedicated personnel to manage the market. This will not only eliminate market bullying, the buyers and sellers won’t have to worry about the weather on rainy days. Of course, to prevent management personnel from exploiting their position to extract fees, we can set up a suggestion box at the government offices. The key could be held by Sir Xiao." Lin Ziyin proposed a modern vegetable market management system.

She had long discovered the chaos of ancient markets. Everyone wanted to sell things and simply settled wherever they desired. Different types of goods were mixed together, making it inconvenient for shoppers to find what they needed.

"Miss Lin, this idea is amazing. I admire you." Situ Gong was overjoyed. Though the idea seemed simple, it could solve many problems.

"As the vegetable market is crowded, we can set up a food street near it. Also, we can allow people to do business near schools and workshops. All taxes collected should be given with a standard invoice." Lin Ziyin added.

"Invoice?" Everyone was perplexed as they listened to her. This was a new term they had never heard before.

"An invoice is a single type of printed paper. It has the official seal of the government and a special mark." Lin Ziyin explained, "Dates and amounts are also included."

"Good."

"Brilliant."

Chu Suifeng looked fondly at Lin Ziyin, his eyes full of pride.
