Chapter 449: Persistence
Competition, is a slap in the face, originally those who don't think it's a big deal, still waiting to see a good show, but who knows, from the beginning of the two cities have the absolute upper hand, the North Lane has already given up on itself, even the employees of Fengfeilou are greedy for cheap, and they have come to the two cities to shop.
And more and more people are behind the scenes, and many aristocratic people are unhappy with watching Han Yi, so they let their sons go to the two cities to visit and cheer for the two cities.
In this way, there are more and more people in the two cities, and many nobles who don't need to shop go to the two cities to eat, drink and have fun, which even affects the entire Pingkangli, and the business of the middle and south lanes has been hit very hard.
It seems that the winner is decided.
North Lane.
On the morning of this day, the North Lane finally welcomed a few guests, but it seemed that the visitors were not good, because they were all wearing the official uniforms of the household department.
"A few guest officers, come in and have a look."
I don't know if the clerks in the Qianjia rice shop are too hungry, so they directly ignore the official uniform, rush up, and prepare to solicit customers.
The first officer, dressed in a green robe, shouted, "Go, call your proprietor out." β
"Oh, isn't this Inspector Cao?"
Qian Dafang came to Beixiang today, and was about to order someone to clean up and close the store at any time, but before he could tell the clerk, Cao Xun from this household department came, and he was also beating drums up and down in his heart. bowed his hand, and asked, "I don't know if Inspector Cao is here, what do you command?" β
Inspector is an official title of the household department, which specializes in going out to make rounds, including grain harvests, market goods, and so on.
Cao Xun said arrogantly: "Today, someone came to our household department to complain, saying that your shop in North Lane was cheating and cutting corners. Therefore, Dai Shilang ordered us to come and find out the truth. β
Qian Dafang's face was distorted when he heard this, and he said: "Inspector Cao, you know me, my Qian family's food is notoriously good, and I have never done this." β
"I'm also acting on orders, don't you still want to stop us from carrying out our official duties?" Cao Xun said with full authority.
"Don't dare. Noβdon't dare. β
Qian Dafang was like a loss of strength, he hung his head, he was not a thief, but he understood that this must be a ghost of the two cities, that is to say, the defeat of Beixiang has been decided, and there is no possibility of turning over, because the household department is standing on the side of the two cities.
Cao Xun said loudly: "Give me a check one by one." No clues should be missed. β
"Yes."
Several subordinates immediately conducted a comprehensive investigation of North Lane.
Although Beixiang was the first privately opened market and could not be directly managed by the imperial court, if you broke the law, then the imperial court would definitely intervene, there is no doubt about it.
In fact, as early as the beginning, the household department had intended to use a trick to give Beixiang a dismount, but it was stopped by Gao Cheng, but now the situation is different. Some people went to the household department to complain, and the household department checked the name.
A moment of work. The proprietors of these shops all walked out one after another, shaking their heads and sighing.
"What's going on?"
At this time, the two of them came out of Feng Feilou, it was Han Yi and Cha Wu.
Cao Xun squinted at it and said, "Are you?" β
Han Yi arched his hand. Said: "Down there is the royal envoy." β
It seems to be compromised, but what he says is terrifying to death.
Cao Xun bowed embarrassedly and said, "Cao Xun, the inspector of the lower household department, has seen the royal envoy. β
After all, the difference in rank is too far.
"How dare you, how dare you."
Han Yi is still very modest. said: "I don't know what Inspector Cao is doing here?" β
Cao Xun explained to Han Yi again, of course, the tone was much softer.
Han Yi was embarrassed: "Inspector Cao, I think this is a false accusation, you see that I don't even have a guest, how can I be cheating!" β
Cao Xun nodded and said: "Yes, what do the officials think, it's just that someone has come to the household department, and we have no choice, so we ask the special envoy to take care of it." β
After all, he has been an official for many years, and he can still talk about the scene.
Han Yi said: "Then can you be accommodating." β
Cao Xun showed an expression that was even more bitter than Han Yi, and said, "The lower official is also ordered to do things. β
"That's it!"
Han Yi nodded and said, "Okay, but our Beixiang has always obeyed the legal system of the imperial court, and we dare not violate it." β
Cao Xun smiled: "What does Xia Guan think." β
What a talent! Han Yi smiled secretly in his heart, nodded, but didn't care, glanced at Qian Dafang and them, and said, "I'm sorry, I lost my company first." β
"Please."
Han Yi bowed his hand slightly, and then went to the door of Qian Dafang's store.
Qian Dafang and the others all said hello to Han Yi with a strange face, but it was just a greeting.
Han Yi saw it in his eyes, but said on his lips: "Everyone, please rest assured, I am watching here, as long as you do not break the law, no one can wronged you." β
Qian Dafang and the others thought, what do you mean by bragging about these here, can't you see that there is not even a single guest now.
In fact, they all blamed Han Yi a little, because they were the victims of this conflict, and Han Yi, as the owner of North Lane, didn't even react at all, if it weren't for someone from the household department this time, it is estimated that he would not have come out.
This is a sign of irresponsibility.
Qian Dafang and others were very disappointed.
Zhao Sijia said: "Of course, although we are some traders, this business is also done above board, and there is no fear." β
"That's, that's."
Han Yi nodded, and said, "Everyone, although there are no guests now. β
Qian Dafang really couldn't help it, and said, "Not a single guest." β
"Yes."
Han Yi said with a smile: "But don't panic, don't hide it from you, I was scared at the beginning, thinking that they would make some great moves, but I didn't expect it to be all left over from our play, this kind of hurtful method will not last long, as long as we insist, the victory will be ours, and I will exempt you from half a month's rent." β
We were also exempted from half a month's rent, and I want to get the rent back.
Qian Dafang said incredulously: "Brother Han, this is your method?" β
Han Yi nodded and said, "That's right!" I can guarantee that if they drop the price for more than a month, I will refund you the entire rent. β
That is, the rent will not be refunded to us.
Qian Dafang is a little hot. said: "Brother Han, what you said is easy, but have you considered us, now the two cities have been forcing us to choose one of the two, you can last for a month, but we can't last so long!" β
Han Yi said bitterly: "Do you insist on it any longer?" There's always a way. β
That's what those leaders in later generations said, anyway, standing and talking doesn't hurt your back.
Qian Dafang was speechless.
Zhao Sijia and the others were silent, and Han Yi's attitude made them completely lose confidence in Han Yi.
Han Yi swept his eyes and said: "Everyone, even if the other party doesn't reduce the price, they can still force you to choose one of the two, if you can firmly stand on my side, then their trick will not succeed." You see, Mr. Ram, he is not bothered by this at all. β
If you don't have a Women's Day, you don't have Middle Lane and South Lane, you see if Ram will be on your side, you have this ability, and what kind of royal envoy, the officials of the household department come to check, you still have to let them check. It's dead on your side.
Qian Dafang smiled and nodded, but neither of them spoke. It seems that there is already a plan in mind.
Han Yi is still relatively trustworthy, standing here supervising, and talking about some topics.
After an hour, the talents of the household department checked and said that there was no problem, in fact, Han Yi has been in the market since it opened. In terms of quality, he is very strict, and from time to time he sends people to spot checks, because after all, he is from the next generation, and he is very sensitive to this, and he hates shoddy products very much. Fortunately, now businessmen are still more conscientious, and the lack of catties and two things, although they don't say that there is no, but at least they will not die if they eat, at least the people of the Tang Dynasty do not have to go to Persia to buy food, and they are despised for sending money, which shows that the loss of time does not necessarily mean progress, but may also be regressive.
Cao Xun didn't come here to check anything, to put it simply, he came to the well, said sorry to Han Yi, and then left with someone.
Han Yi also went back to Fengfei Tower.
"It's really unreasonable, their household department clearly said that the two would not help each other, but now they are coming to check on us, and it is clear that they are helping the two cities."
When Liu E heard about this, she couldn't help but be angry.
Sang Mu said: "Engong, if the court comes forward in this matter, will there be any variables." β
Han Yi smiled: "Of course not, this is good news for us, now they are biased towards the two cities, so when we fight back, they will not be able to speak, to be honest, I am very happy to see all this." β
Liu E said: "But Brother Han, how long are you going to endure it?" Now that the people of the household department come, they give people the feeling that the wall is falling down and everyone is pushing, and they are afraid that they will resolutely choose the two cities, if we don't make a move, I'm afraid it will be too late. β
"What are you anxious about?"
Han Yi said with a smile: "I just want Qian Dafang, and they resolutely choose the two cities." β
Liu E was stunned and looked at Han Yi puzzled.
Han Yi said with a smile: "Things are far from being as simple as you think, in fact, at this time, the guilds of the two cities can already put pressure on Qian Dafang and them to end this struggle as soon as possible, but they didn't do it, if I guessed correctly, they are waiting for Qian Dafang to take the initiative to beg them, and the reason why they want to do this is that they want to take the opportunity to suppress Qian Dafang's arrogance." β
Sang Mu frowned and said, "Engong, what do you mean by this?" Qian Dafang closed the shop in North Lane, they should be satisfied! β
"Satisfied? In the hearts of businessmen, there is no such thing as satisfaction. β
Han Yi said with a confident smile: "No matter what, they are hurting people now, because for businessmen, if they don't make money, they lose money, and all of this is caused by the hesitation of Qian Dafang and others, in addition, many of them are competitors of Qian Dafang and others, this is a good opportunity, they will definitely try their best to ask for some losses from Qian Dafang and them, don't look at their unity on the surface, but in fact, everyone is making their own calculations in their hearts." Anyway, in their opinion, the victory or defeat has been decided, and it is time to divide the fruits of victory, they will not come to us to ask for money, not only ask Qian Dafang and others for it, this good show has just begun. β
