Chapter 362: Stabilizing the Army's Morale

The people don't fight with the officials, this is an eternal and immutable law!

These businessmen came to North Lane to do business, and the purpose was profit, could it be that they were watching dramas nearby?

This is obviously impossible.

If it is limited to the dispute of buying and selling, they are not afraid of getting into trouble, but if it is involved in the struggle between the DPRK and China, it is not a trivial matter.

Han Yi was appointed as the superintendent of the imperial history, and this matter actually spread early on, but based on the fact that it is an aristocratic society today, even if Han Yi is an official, in their eyes, it is not enough, they have no fear of Han Yi, let alone any respect.

However, the household department is in charge of the world's taxes, and it can be said that it is the top boss of the world's businessmen, this Han Yi offended the household department, then for them, it is not a trivial matter, after hearing the news, these businessmen are very panicked, this business is just a trivial matter, don't put yourself in, then the gain outweighs the loss.

Therefore, as soon as the news came out, Qian Dafang and these people came to Han Yi.

Han Yi also knew in his heart that if he didn't explain this matter to them clearly, maybe someone would back down.

Judging from the speed with which these merchants gathered, you can see how anxious they are.

Of course, Han Yiwu was the last to appear, but he didn't let Liu E come with him, after all, Liu E's sentimental personality is not conducive to stabilizing the morale of the army.

But this time, everyone didn't complain about him, but warmly congratulated Han Yi.

Han Yi knew that they didn't really congratulate him, after all, the emperor didn't reward him recently, and he hadn't seen them say half a word before, the reason why they did this was nothing more than that they were afraid that Han Yi would talk about him in the left, and he would name the subject as soon as he came. Let's talk about officialdom today, so don't think about the lottery.

In fact, Han Yi didn't plan to play with them, and after thanking them a few times, he got straight to the point: "Calling everyone here today is a great news to tell you." ”

Great news?

Everyone was stunned, and they all looked at Han Yi strangely.

Han Yi said with a smile: "It's that the emperor has clearly allowed me to open a market in this North Lane." ”

When the crowd heard. They looked at each other left and right, and of course they had heard the news.

Zhao Sijia smiled and said, "Brother Han, this is indeed good news, but we have also heard that the whole household is actually against you opening a market in this North Lane." ”

Han Yi nodded and smiled: "There is such a thing." ”

Zhao Sijia said: "Brother Han, please forgive me for saying something inappropriate, the emperor has every opportunity, and it is impossible to keep an eye on our North Lane all the time." The household department is different, this matter is the internal affairs of the household department. ”

He wanted to say something and stopped, but the meaning was already very obvious.

This is precisely the emperor's sorrow, they all know that the emperor is biased towards Han Yi's side, but the problem is that they don't trust the emperor's power very much.

But the more this is the case, the more relieved Han Yi becomes. Li Zhi is now at the mouth of an erupting well, and I am the emperor. If I can't even protect a North Lane, then what does this emperor do is meaningful, so no matter what, who dares to move North Lane. That is to challenge the power of the emperor, which Li Zhi will never tolerate.

Han Yi said: "Fourth Uncle Zhao is not afraid that the household department will wear small shoes for us. ”

Zhao Sijia smiled and said nothing, obviously acquiescing.

Dou Yi also said: "After all, they are officials, we are the people, if they have the heart to trouble us." It's so easy. ”

Han Yi smiled: "But don't forget, I'm also an official." ”

However, the confident Han Yi, in their eyes, is like a joke, how can you, a petty official, compare with the Hubu Shangshu, and with your background, how long you can be an official, it is still unknown!

"I know this, but the Imperial Observatory doesn't have the power to mix in the above matters."

"This is not true, although Yushitai does not have the power to supervise the market, but it has the power to inspect hundreds of officials, and the household department is in charge of my business, but I am in charge of the household department."

You don't blush when you say that.

Although the Imperial History Observatory has this power, you are just a small supervising Imperial History of the Imperial Historical Observatory, and you also have the Imperial History Zhongcheng above, the Imperial Historian.

No one believed Han Yi's words.

Han Yi's eyes swept away, and he smiled slightly: "I know everyone doesn't believe it, but have you ever thought that the emperor personally allowed Beixiang to open a market, this is not a simple sentence." ”

Qian Dafang was puzzled: "What else does that mean?" ”

Han Yi smiled and said: "To go deeper, the emperor allowed me to open a market in this North Lane, not in the North Lane, even if I can't manage the household, the emperor can take care of it." Don't forget who gave me this official robe. ”

When these businessmen heard this, their faces showed hesitation again, although Han Yi can't compete with the household department, but can't the emperor?

Han Yi said with a smile: "I can tell you this, if the household department dares to use its authority to deal with our Beixiang, I will definitely let them not eat and walk around, I know that many of you have connections with the ministers of the DPRK and China, and may even be the people of the household officials, but it doesn't matter, this is left here." As he spoke, he glanced at some of them and noticed that some of them were a little evasive.

The steady Dou Yi smiled: "Brother Han is serious, we are not afraid of the household department using their power without permission. Gao Shangshu is dedicated to his duties, and we businessmen respect him very much, but behind the two cities is the imperial court after all, and the difference in strength is too great. ”

Han Yi smiled: "Uncle Dou's words are true, but we have our advantages. ”

Qian Dafang said: "What you are talking about is not the middle lane and the south lane. ”

Sweat! It seems that this guy is also an old pervert, and when he thinks about it, he thinks of Middle Lane and South Lane. Han Yi laughed and said: "Of course, this is also an advantage, but we have a greater advantage than the two cities." ”

Everyone looked at Han Yi suspiciously.

Compared with the officials, where does the advantage come from?

Han Yi said: "That is, we are more free than them, we are just pure trading, and they are doing politics." Take this lottery as an example, we play the lottery in North Lane, but it's just a matter of my words, but if the two cities want to play. So who will pay for this prize? Yes, the court is much richer than me, but the money is the court's, not the household's, and if the household wants to use the money to conduct a lottery, not to mention whether it can succeed. Even if it succeeds, after this formalities are completed, we will already be playing something else. That's our advantage, we're just making money, we're doing everything to make money, I'm in it, but the household is not in the business, if the household wants to compete with us in business, then I'm not afraid of them at all. ”

Han Yi is also single-handed. Yu Gong, I'm not afraid of him, I have the emperor to cover, and the emperor has no power, so he is also the emperor. In private, the people in the household department will talk on paper and ask them to do business, and they have to lose as much as they want. If I lose to them, then I can defeat this business.

I have to say. Han Yi is reasonable, and those merchants also understand this truth, but the problem is that based on the market system of the Tang Dynasty, merchants have always traded under the official system of the imperial court, and there was no trade in the Tang Dynasty. Now that they are on the edge, they will inevitably feel uneasy in their hearts, just like a prisoner who was supposed to be in prison for ten years, and suddenly one day the government told him that he could go out for a walk at any time, as long as he could come back to sleep at night. Their first feeling is definitely uneasy.

Or lack of a sense of security, doing business in the two cities is the system of the imperial court, and doing business in the North Lane is equivalent to breaking away from the system of the imperial court, and you will definitely feel insecure.

Han Yi also understands their psychology, in the same way, if you ask him to go to the two cities to do business, he will also feel uneasy, because he is used to being free, and said: "Everyone, no matter what you say, this matter is special, and it is because of me, if it is all implemented in accordance with the contract, it will inevitably be a little unfair to you, so let's do it, if you want to quit North Lane, I will only charge one month's rent, and I will return the rest to you." ”

Ramheed, who had been dozing off, immediately said: "Brother Han, it's too heavy for you to say this, I don't care about others, I like to do business here very much anyway, don't you want to use this reason to drive us away, and then raise the rent, I won't be fooled by you." ”

He is a Persian trader, and Li Shimin is a face-loving person, since he became the Khan of God, he is a very lenient policy for foreigners, no need to follow the customs, you can maintain your traditions, foreigners in the Tang Dynasty have a lot of preferential treatment, it is precisely because of this kind of diversified cultural exchanges, early contributed to this splendid civilization, so he doesn't care what the household, I do my business, I don't break the law.

Although Qian Dafang has concerns in their hearts, but North Lane does let them see different things, they also like to do business in North Lane, and now they rarely go to the shops in the two cities, so they stay in North Lane, because it is very free here, whether it is guests or them.

began to weigh in his heart, this thing has just happened, and there is no movement on the side of the household, even if the household department wants to do it, it will definitely go to Han Yi, and it will not be too late to see the wind and rudder again.

These businessmen all have a selfish calculation in their hearts. Of course, Han Yi never expected them to be loyal to him, after all, they were all businessmen.

The words have come to this, either go or stay. After weighing the pros and cons, most businessmen feel that even if they have to leave, it is still a little too early, and they can wait and see.

"What Mr. Ram said is that we are just asking, but we are not saying that we are leaving North Lane."

"Yes, yes, now that North Lane is so prosperous, how can we be willing to leave."

When the hesitant businessmen saw that these people said this, they naturally followed suit.

Everyone showed a false smile again, this kind of smile is unique to businessmen, and it is not hypocritical in the business world.

Han Yi's heart was like a mirror, and he said: "Thank you for your understanding, I'm not arrogant, it's just that buying and selling is not in people's feelings, and this business is about you and me." But rest assured, I will soon prove that what I said is correct, and I will try my best to fight for more interests for you, and at the same time, I will also prove to you that our North Lane is also as stable as Mount Tai in the DPRK, and it is not as serious as everyone thinks. ”

Ramhid's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Brother Han, don't you have any magic methods?" ”

Han Yi said: "I have the way, but this matter has to be done slowly, you have to remember that the grand occasion of the past three days is by no means the peak, but a just beginning." ”
