Chapter 436: Divide and Transform
"It's just Xuangong, now the materials in our hands are trying our best to supply Longshouyuan to build a new palace, where are the materials on hand to sell to ordinary people." A businessman said.
"Eighty percent will be sent to Longshouyuan, leaving two percent in their own hands, and they will be sold out by themselves, as for Longshouyuan, the official will find a way." Xuan Shijing said.
In this way, for these businessmen, they can take care of both sides, not only make a big business, make a lot of money, but also cannibalize a bite of business in Chang'an City and the surrounding areas.
Xuan Shijing planned like this, so that these merchants would completely rob the entire Guanzhong market, and would rather let the materials on Longshouyuan be cut off for a few days than let go of those who hoarded materials to compete with the imperial court.
It's to make them panic!
This can also be said to kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred, but Xuan Shijing's attitude is absolutely decisive, this kind of thing is only once, and once he rectifies them, he will be ruthless and rectify, so that these people will have palpitations, and they will never dare to maliciously confront this kind of thing in the future!
If it was a proper business, Xuan Shijing would not be so angry, and if the transaction with the imperial court could not be done, then he would do a good job in his own business at home, and send people everywhere to collect and hoard materials in the entire pass, raise the price, and want the imperial court to pay, which is really bad.
This is still a relative of the Li royal family, and this is how they treat their own family, which is simply lustful!
Sending troops out to personally open mountains and quarry, and the matter of logging into the forest has also been told to Li Chengqian and Li Zhi, as long as His Majesty Li Er passes, a large number of troops will leave Chang'an and go to Qinling, and then the mined materials will be continuously transported to Chang'an City, as for those who want to hoard materials, let him stay in Tun and stay at home for the New Year.
"After this incident is over, I hope that you will continue to fully support the construction of the new palace on the Dragon Head Plain." Xuan Shijing arched his hand and said, "Please." ”
"Xuan Gong is polite, we must do our best." Several shopkeepers also expressed their positions.
"I'll wait for a cup of toast to Xuangong."
"Please." Xuan Shijing raised his glass: "Tomorrow's grand event in the Xuanwu Tower, I also invite a few shopkeepers, be sure to come in person." ”
"Definitely, definitely."
A few brands, for the Ministry of Industry, is not a difficult matter, mainly the official name, this is what these businessmen value, originally these businessmen followed the pace of the pile of money, doing business with the imperial court, making money, and this commendation order, for them, is completely unexpected.
This is also what Xuan Shijing wants to show outsiders.
Didn't the masters behind those stubborn businessmen want to raise the bar with the Ministry of Works? Then lift, in the end, it is not the imperial court, not the Ministry of Industry, or these businessmen who support the imperial court.
They felt that even if they couldn't do business with the imperial court, Chang'an City still had their market and their place, and even, some merchants supported the imperial court and sent most of the materials to Longshouyuan, and Chang'an City was already vacant, and this market was their main battlefield.
But as soon as Xuan Shijing's commendation order for these merchants came out, did the people of Chang'an City recognize those merchants? Or do you agree with the honest businessmen who have been rewarded by the imperial court?
As soon as the commendation order came out, most of the markets in Chang'an City were still owned by these merchants.
The people trust the court, and the court trusts these merchants, so the people also trust these merchants with the court, which is also what Xuan Shijing said, no matter what these people do in the future, they will inadvertently be superior to other merchants in Chang'an City.
As long as these businessmen do not damage their reputation and do business honestly, this brand will always be useful and in their hands.
Once these businessmen are not honest, the imperial court will still take back the brand, and the credibility of the imperial court will not be damaged.
A brand is the honor of businessmen, but also their constraints, for businessmen and people, it is a good thing, a win-win situation.
What I want to say to these businessmen today is such a thing, let them pack up tomorrow, come to Xuanwu Tower in good spirits, and accept this honor in front of the people of Chang'an.
The banquet dispersed, Xuan Shijing and Qian Dui came to the study, the two sat opposite each other, drank tea and cleared the wine in their mouths.
"Grandpa, have you found a way to deal with those merchants?" Qian Dui asked.
Qian Dui felt that if there was no other purpose, his grandfather would not give those merchants such a big pie, although it was in the name of the imperial court, but the benefits were not small, for the imperial court, it did not matter much, but for these merchants, the gap opened up all of a sudden.
"The countermeasures that came out in desperation, I remember that there is a joint chamber of commerce in Chang'an City, that is, more than a dozen chambers of commerce get together and elect a leader or something, is our family among them?" Xuan Shijing asked.
Qian Dui nodded: "Back to Grandpa, our business in the house is so big, it must be in the middle, and besides, my subordinates are cheeky and have received the position of president." ”
"What about these merchants who are here today?" Xuan Shijing asked.
"It's all in between." Qian Dui said: "The merchants of Chang'an City have also divided into circles, each of them has formed a gang, Chang'an City seems to be prosperous on the surface, but in fact, the business circle is very chaotic, it seems to be inclusive, that is also the foreign merchants before gaining a foothold, they have dredged up the relationship, each found a backer." ”
"Normal." Xuan Shijing said: "Otherwise, the local merchants in Chang'an will not be happy, and they will get through the relationship, even if the merchants in Chang'an are not happy, then there is no way, there are people above them, and now the business circle in Chang'an City is still balanced and harmonious, each family has its own means, and each family lives by its own means, but tomorrow, the brand of the Ministry of Industry will be launched, and it is estimated that it will set off a gust of wind in the entire Tang Dynasty." ”
"Yes, in the future, everyone will recognize the imperial court, and those merchants who are not recognized by the imperial court will be unlucky." Qian Dui said.
"I'll talk about it later, let's take care of the present, and besides, tomorrow's brand is not issued by His Majesty, but cast by the Ministry of Industry, what does the Ministry of Industry do? It's not about businessmen and taxes, to put it bluntly, it's still a name for fooling people, but it can fool a lot of people. Xuan Shijing said.
The money pile nodded.
But at this time, the name can also raise the value of the merchants with brands a lot, from the current point of view, I have to say that Xuan Shijing's plan is good, and the multi-pronged approach is to target those people, and it can even be said that he wants to retaliate against those people.
Qian Dui is very well-connected in Chang'an City, and the means are also good, Xuan Shijing ordered Qian Dui to do it, and the Qian Dui was quickly done, and on the same day, the people in Xuanwu Building were three floors and three floors, and there were a lot of them, and there were many merchants with heads and faces, and more, they were the people in the city.
