In that society in later generations, every minute and every second, there were people complaining, there were people fighting for schools, there were people fighting for jobs, there were people fighting for girlfriends, and even people fighting for finding a toilet.

But they never thought about how boring life would be if everything was doomed from the second a person was born, and no one was fighting with you.

And competition is not just fun, it also brings progress.

They are also big countries in the Central Plains, why are the Han and Tang dynasties so bullish, and the Qing Dynasty is so bearish, because the Qing Dynasty is already super unified, and there is no decent enemy around, so it will not want to forge ahead, but the Han and Tang dynasties have the Xiongnu, Turkic, and Tibetan powerful enemies on the side, so we must always spur ourselves to become stronger, otherwise, we may be wiped out at any time.

Gu Yanshang was deeply touched at this moment, and at this moment, he realized that he was enjoying it very much, and this was also the first time that he was able to fully implement the power that the head office should really have since he became the head office.

That's what competition brings.

He stood on the highest building of the West Market, looking down at the dense crowd of tourists below, and had a feeling of looking down on all living beings, and suddenly, there was a little melancholy in his heart, because it would not be long before the North Alley would be closed, and everything would return to normal, and then everyone would no longer hold him high as now.

"Head Office, Head Office,"

Suddenly, he heard an excited voice from behind, Gu Yanshang looked back, and saw Wei Qing running over with an excited face, thinking to himself, once upon a time, this guy ignored me, but now he is like a dog, circling around me.

"Head Office! We just quietly went to the North Lane to take a turn. There are not a single guest in North Lane, and besides, I have heard that even the people from Fengfeilou have come to our West Market to buy things. ”

Wei Qing was very excited, the reason why he was more diligent than anyone else was because once the two cities were victorious. His status in the two cities must have increased greatly, and in comparison, Qian Dafang's status in the two cities is definitely inferior to him.

Gu Yanshang frowned and said, "You said that the people from Fengfeilou came to us to buy things?" ”

Wei Qing nodded, and suddenly said, "Could it be that the head office thinks that there is something greasy in it?" ”

Gu Yanshang pondered for a moment, shook his head and said, "Not really, unless he Han Yi has the ability to sweep away the goods in our two cities, otherwise, this will not affect us at all." It's like a gesture of goodwill to us. ”

Wei Qing nodded and said, "That's what I thought." Head Office, think about it. This night market was proposed by Han Yi, and if you want to run a good night market, you must rely on our two cities, this must be Han Yi is showing favor to us, leaving room for himself, this business is not good, that is, less money, but the night market is not done well. His career will be affected, which is more important. He couldn't have been unclear. But just a night market, we can get it ourselves, we don't need him at all, please rest assured that we will definitely look at you. ”

Gu Yanshang was overjoyed when he heard this, but he didn't show any excited expression. Said: "What about them who are generous with money?" ”

Wei Qing said: "Qian Dafang, they were still in the North Lane in the morning, but when I came back just now, I found that they had come to the West Market, and it seems that they already knew that they were wrong." ”

Gu Yanshang smiled slightly and said, "If they were like this earlier." Why do we have to spend so much effort? ”

Their price reduction is not to grab customers from North Lane, this almost unprofitable business is by no means a long-term solution, and it doesn't explain anything, his main purpose in doing this is to force Qian Dafang and them to come back, as long as Qian Dafang and they withdraw their capital, the market in North Lane must be closed.

"That's, or you're good."

Wei Qing laughed twice and said, "I think it's almost over, hurry up and let Qian Dafang close the shops in North Lane." ”

"What are you anxious about?"

Of course, Gu Yanshang didn't want to get the result as soon as possible, then he would lose the power in his hands, and said: "Now they haven't taken the initiative to come to me, which proves that they are still waiting, I want them to take the initiative to come to me, in that case, they must obey our conditions, otherwise, they will definitely put forward conditions." ”

Wei Qing was right, he had to take this opportunity to suppress the money generously. And he said, "By the way, I also heard a piece of news." ”

Gu Yanshang said: "What news?" ”

Wei Qing said: "Liu E from Fengfeilou went to the household department today. ”

"Really?"

"The information is very reliable."

Gu Yanshang said with a smile: "In this way, the other party is already poor in donkey skills. ”

Wei Qing said: "But after all, Han Yi is now named the royal envoy. ”

Gu Yanshang waved his hand lightly, interrupted his words, and said, "If he is really sure, then he will not let a woman come forward." This is not to worry, the household department is deeply disgusted with North Lane, this time not only will they not help North Lane, but will also help us add another fire, and then Qian Dafang and others will come to us. ”

Wei Qing was overjoyed when he heard this, and patted his ass and said: "The head office is really strategizing!" ”

This may be the first time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty that there has been a large-scale commercial conflict, which has never happened before, which not only brought benefits to the people, but also alarmed the imperial court, including Li Zhi, who heard about it, and sent people to inquire about the situation, because the imperial court also wanted to see if it could find any enlightenment from it, and if this happened in the future, there were also examples to be used as references.

In a three-storey restaurant in the East Market.

It was all overcrowded below, but the third floor seemed empty, that is, four old men sitting by the window, looking out the window.

These old men are amazing, they are the eldest grandson Wuji, Han Ying, Laiji, and Gao Zheng. A few of them sat here, and who could still come up.

Han Ying couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "These merchants are crazy, a horse of silk is only sold for four hundred and thirty yuan, this is the lowest price of silk since the late Zhenguan period, remember the beginning of Yonghui, the lowest time a horse also costs four hundred and forty-five yuan." ”

Lai Ji listened to it angrily and said with a smile: "During the Zhenguan period, the imperial court negotiated with them many times and asked them to lower the price of grain, but they refused to live or die, and would rather close the door and not sell it than reduce the price." But now they have to beg the court to lower the price for them, and these merchants are really cheap. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji suddenly said to Gao Ying: "Wen Min, as the head of the household, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Gao Cheng sighed slightly, and said: "I think it makes sense to come to the same book, businessmen are unprofitable and can't afford to be early." At the beginning, the imperial court asked them to reduce the price for no reason, and they would definitely not agree, but now it is different, Beixiang robbed them of many guests, and in order to defend their own interests, they took the initiative to reduce the price. I was thinking that if the North Lane was owned by the imperial court, then we could use the North Lane to stabilize prices, which would be much better than the imperial court directly discussing with them. ”

"That's true. In the past, when they hoarded grain to raise food prices, they had negotiated it behind their backs in advance, but Han Yi was not anyone's person, and he came from other places, and he has always been squeezed out by many people, so this kind of competition will be formed. The eldest grandson Wuji said: "Then you mean, you hope that the imperial court will come forward to protect Beixiang?" ”

Gao Cheng shook his head and said, "If that's the case." I'm afraid that the two cities will be dissatisfied, and the imperial court has no reason to help Han Yi. And we helped once, but not twice. I just said that it is not for the dispute between the two cities and Beixiang, but I think that the imperial court can appropriately relax the market, increase some merchants to come in, and let them compete with each other, so that the imperial court can also regulate and control. ”

Han Ying said: "Tai Lieutenant." I also wanted to tell you about this for a long time, I think what Han Yi said at the beginning was very far-sighted, during the Zhenguan period, the people of the Central Plains had just experienced decades of war, and no one wanted to fight. Moreover, the fertile land is deserted and the population is small, so the uniform land system can be fully implemented, but now the population is surging, and the land will not increase, in addition, the phenomenon of land annexation is becoming more and more serious, whether the imperial court can use commerce as an auxiliary means to cooperate with the uniform land system of our dynasty. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed lightly and said: "Don't hide it from you, since Han Yi said this last time, I have been thinking about this problem these days, there have been land annexations in all dynasties, it is difficult to stop, in this case, you can only open up another good situation, and scatter the poor people in business, this is indeed feasible, but the merchants are moving and communicating, and the Juntian system is quiet and closed, static and moving, diametrically opposite, if the imperial court relaxes trade, then the people must be allowed to trade freely in various places, and as soon as the people leave, the field will be wasted, Therefore, this cannot be relaxed lightly, otherwise the very foundation of the country will be shaken. ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said: "This matter can't be rushed, you have to take it step by step, the imperial court can limit the relaxation of trade to Chang'an City, after all, Chang'an is a narrow township, many people have not been allocated much land, if you can help them seek a livelihood without shaking the national system, it is not impossible, and Chang'an is a Beijing teacher, if there is a mistake, it can also be corrected in time, it will not cause too much turmoil." ”

Gao Cheng smiled slightly: "It's still Tai Lieutenant, you think thoughtfully." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji waved his hand and said, "I'm old, and my thinking is not as agile as those young people." Han Yi has a very good saying, the way to govern the country must keep pace with the times, and the same is true for the way of ministers. However, our Tang Dynasty is vast, and every word and deed of our ministers may cause an uproar, so you must remember that you must not be impatient. ”

"I'll keep it in mind."

North Lane.

Under the instigation of Gu Qingcheng, Han Yi's dream of embracing the left and the right was shattered, and he was alone around the fire, how desolate it was.

Luckily, he still has tea five.

Because Cha Wu had a lot to do, he didn't go to the two cities.

"Are you sure Qian Dafang and they all went to the two cities."

"Sure, sure, I watched them leave."

"Did they close the shop?"

"Not yet."

"Huh! Okay, I'll go to Taobao Market first. ”

Han Yi patted Cha Wu's shoulder and said with a smile: "I've worked hard for you these days, I'll pay for you to go to Middle Lane and South Lane to play another day." ”

"Huh?"

"Don't you like it?"

Cha Wu shook his head.

"I almost forgot that you grew up here." Han Yi smiled and said, "That's it, I'll give you a sum of money that is enough for you to be chic anywhere in Chang'an, as for where to go, think about it tonight." ”

"Hey!"

Cha Wu nodded, and suddenly felt that there was something wrong with this, and looked at Han Yi with an embarrassed face.

Han Yi laughed and said, "I'll go out first." ”

Out of Fengfei Building, he went to the Taobao Market, which was also deserted, and those small stall owners all had sad faces.

"Brother Han."

It was Uncle Tao who first discovered Han Yi.

As soon as everyone saw Han Yi, their faces were overjoyed, and they immediately gathered around.

"Hello everyone!"

Han Yi arched his hand and suddenly said to Uncle Tao: "Uncle Tao, I remember that you cried bitterly when you made money, and you almost didn't faint, but now you have no money to earn, why don't you cry again?" ”

This Uncle Tao is a sincere person, and he really thought about it for a while, and then said honestly: "We used to have no money, and we made so much money at once, so we cried, but now I have no money to earn, although I feel bad, but I don't want to cry - this- it seems a little strange." Speaking of the back, he said that he was confused.

Sweat! Such a standard answer!

Han Yi was stunned, nodded with a smile, and said, "I'm really grateful that you didn't come to me, I originally thought that you would definitely come to me." ”

Uncle Tao said: "Don't hide it from Brother Han, we did want to go over to find you, but I thought you might be in a bad mood, so we didn't bother you." ”

Han Yi nodded and said, "I understand." ”

Suddenly, a person timidly asked, "Brother Han, can you tell us what is going on?" ”

"That's what I'm here for."

Han Yi said: "This matter is more complicated, and I can't say it clearly for a while, but this actually has nothing to do with you, no matter what happens in the future, this Taobao market will definitely open, otherwise it will be cheaper surnamed Ma, of course, mainly because there are still many people around, the middle lane and the south lane will not fall, with them, the Taobao market will not lack customers, so you don't have to worry at all, just take yourself a vacation, you must be very tired some time ago." ”

Uncle Tao shook his head and said, "I'm not tired at all." ”

How can you feel tired when you make money so well.

"Really?"

Han Yiwan smiled and said, "But no matter what, you really don't need to worry about anything, the Taobao market will always exist, so let's do it, you will be free of charge this month's monthly rent." ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but smile.

"Brother Han, are you really not going to close the Taobao market?"

They are different from Qian Dafang, the two cities will not take them in, this is the only place where they can do business, they will definitely not leave, they are worried that North Lane will go out of business, Han Yi will close this Taobao market, then they will really cry to death.

"I promise you that the Taobao market will never be closed." Han Yi nodded affirmatively, and said: "In addition, the things in the West Market are so cheap now, but I don't think they can last for a few days, and it will be the New Year soon, you should hurry up and buy it, but don't buy everything, you can buy more things for daily use, anyway, you should give yourself a vacation, rest and recuperate for a few days, and then think about your own business and see if there is anything that needs to be improved." ”

Everyone was very happy to get Han Yi's assurance, they are not greedy people, there has been no trading in the past two days, so forget it, they are all poor anyway, I am afraid that they will not be able to come here to do business in the future. Pack up and prepare to go back, and go shopping in the West Market tomorrow.

Han Yi was relieved when he saw the smiles on everyone's faces, in fact, he was worried that the people here would think too much, so he came to give them an answer. Because they can't be regarded as real businessmen, they are all honest people, cunning, they didn't dare to come to North Lane to do business at the beginning, for fear of being deceived, only these honest people didn't figure out anything, so they broke in, anyway, they have nothing to lose.

As soon as he got out of the north alley, Han Yi instinctively glanced at the exit, only to see an extremely tall and tall beauty, hired Tingting and walked over.

He quickly wiped his face, and immediately showed a bitter expression, his eyes were slightly red, and when the beautiful woman came over, he sobbed a little, and said, "I know, you came to see my jokes." ”
