Chapter 555: Black Market

"Say, what does it look like?"

Liu Renliang's eyes widened, he usually couldn't look down on the brothers in the guard, as a soldier of the Tang Dynasty, he should naturally act like the wind, and he would never be resolute.

"Lord Wang...... Those people from the Goguryeo military came to our Dengju to trade weapons and armor! ”

The soldier of the Shenwu Guard seemed to be stimulated by Liu Renliang, and subconsciously straightened his waist and said.

"Arms and armor trades?"

When Li Yuanba heard this, his eyes subconsciously narrowed, and he touched his chin that had just grown stubble, he turned his head to look at Li Su and said, "Su'er, you go and invite Wang Jun to me!" ”

"I'll go!" Li Su answered, and ran out.

Wang Jun, Su Dingfang, Liu Renliang and other close subordinates of the Wuwang Mansion all live in the Governor's Mansion, this is to consider Li Yuanba's safety issues, and on the other hand, if there is anything, it is just a matter of greeting, and they can be on call.

"Lord Wang, why are you so eager to summon the lower officials?"

After a while, Li Su took Wang Jun and ran back, with a hint of doubt on his face.

"Wang Jun, this king asks you, can we buy and sell weapons and armor in Dengzhou City?"

Li Yuanba looked at Wang Jun with a gloomy face and asked.

"Smuggling of weapons and armor?" Wang Jun frowned and looked at Li Yuanba, and said, "Lord Wang, in the past month, our Governor's Mansion has sent troops to register all the newly opened and long-existing businesses in Dengzhou City!" In addition, weapons and armor are the products of our stewards, and they have no right to buy and sell, but the only ones who dare to buy and sell are the black market in the city! ”

"Black market!"

Li Yuanba's eyes narrowed suddenly, he didn't expect that there was a black market in this small Dengzhou, he looked at Wang Jun. Road:

"Wang Jun, with your character, you can tolerate the existence of the black market under your nose, tell me, what do you think?"

"My lord, Dengju City is on the edge of the Datang Sea, and it is not far from Goguryeo, Silla, Baekje and even the Wa Kingdom. Coupled with the convenience of sea shipping, Dengzhou is destined to become a place that is extremely convenient in both military and commercial aspects! ”

Wang Jun looked at Li Yuanba and Li Ke's little brother, and saw that they all showed thoughtful expressions, so he continued:

"With the prosperity of shipping and commerce, it is natural that many merchants will come to Dengzhou for various trades! Serious businessmen will naturally choose to settle down and choose a garrison or establish a semicolon in Dengzhou City, while those restless businessmen who make black money will turn their minds to smuggling! ”

"Mr. Wang is right, this businessman's pursuit of profit has been an iron law since ancient times! Mr. Wang just said that the situation does not only apply to Dengzhou. Even there is a black market in Chang'an City! ”

Wang Jun's voice landed, and Li Su, who runs a gambling house in Chang'an City, took over the conversation, and he continued:

"It's just that unlike Dengzhou City, the black market in our Chang'an City is presided over by our Tang nobles and families! In other words, once there is an uncontrollable situation in the black market, someone will come forward to suppress it! ”

"Brother Huang acquiesced?" Li Yuanba was silent for a long time and said.

"What if you don't acquiesce?" Li Ke smiled bitterly twice and said, "There are many things that our imperial court can't buy on the surface. They were all bought by the emperor in the black market, and the emperor acquiesced! ”

Li Yuanba nodded when he heard this. "You're right! Where there is white, there is black, and the black market is just between white and black, if you have to give it a decision, it can be called a gray area! However, with the power of our imperial court, it is only a matter of turning over if we want to ban the black market! ”

"That's just a businessman. Even if the energy is great? A few bombardments and let them all play! ”

Li Ke agreed with Li Yuanba's words, they were just a few businessmen, and they could be arrested directly on the charge of smuggling.

"Alright, you know a lot!"

Li Ke glared at Li Ke angrily. Turning his head to look at Wang Jun, although he didn't say anything, everyone knew what it meant.

"What the princes said is extremely true!" Wang Jun also bowed slightly when he heard everyone's words, "It is precisely for this reason that the lower officials did not ban the black market!" Instead, continue to let it exist in Dengzhou City, of course, it's not that Xia Guan hasn't made any preparations! ”

"What do you mean by that?" Li Yuanba's eyes lit up and said.

"Lord Wang, if you want to control the black market or control the black market, the best way is to blend in!"

Wang Jun smiled faintly and said, "Xiaguan started preparing half a month ago!" After half a month of hard work, at least one-third of the merchants in the black market are our people, and now, the black market is our governor's office! ”

"Wonderful!" Li Yuanba couldn't help but clap his palms excitedly when he heard this, and said, "It seems that the choice of this king to insist on bringing you to Dengzhou was not wrong!" ”

Don't look at Wang Jun's words and say it lightly, but it is definitely not a simple matter to get one-third of the merchants in the black market in half a month, and this matter is quite troublesome to operate.

And Wang Jun did this thing quietly, regardless of whether he used the ability of Shenwuwei or the Governor's Mansion, at least this matter was done, and it was enough to see that Wang Jun's ability was extraordinary.

"The prince praised it falsely!" Wang Jun smiled faintly, and did not take credit, "As for Goguryeo coming to our Datang black market to buy weapons and armor, it is really the first time that Xiaguan has heard of it, after all, Xiaguan has not received a report today......"

"How do you communicate with people on the black market on a daily basis?" Li Yuanba asked curiously.

"The prince wants to go to the black market?" Wang Jun saw Li Yuanba's curiosity, so he simply mentioned it directly.

"Go, why don't you go?"

"I also want to see how the black market in Dengzhou City is different from that in Chang'an City?"

"Uncle Four Emperors, let's go!"

Before Li Yuanba could speak, Li Ke's little brother suddenly jumped up like a frightened rabbit, shouting and screaming.

"You little bunnies, you're really curious about everything!"

Li Yuanba glared at these little guys angrily, looked up and said to Wang Jun:

"Wang Jun, you take them to the front hall to wait, and after the king has washed and dressed, he will go over to look for you!"

"No!"

Wang Jun bowed slightly, and walked straight towards the direction of the front hall with the chirping little brother Li Ke. (To be continued......)
