The people came to the bazaar and went to the shops of the merchants of other countries.

After a circle, I think their business is excellent.

Some of the shops that have been open for a long time have done better business than the local vendors.

Chen Xian and Xiao Mingyue couldn't help but come to a shop that sold millet rice, and found that there was an endless stream of people coming and going.

From the boss to the guys, they're all busy.

Chen Xian ordered Chun'an on the side to take out a piece of silver and pretend to be a guest who bought rice, so as to talk to the boss.

The boss asked very politely, "This son, how much rice do you want to buy?" "

"Five buckets." Chen Xian replied.

"Good!" The boss agreed.

Then he shouted at the guy who was loading rice: "Load five buckets of rice for this son!" Send it to the house!"

While accepting the silver, he found bits and pieces of silver to give to Chun'an.

"You buy rice here, and you are also responsible for delivering it to the house?!" Chen Xian asked.

The boss smiled and said, "Yes! Childe, let's not hide it, we are businessmen from Wei State, and we have come to do business from our father, although we are from Wei State, but we have been here for so long, we can be regarded as half of Chen Guoren, and we have deep feelings for both countries. My hometown has been growing millet for generations, but there are too many millet in Wei, and it doesn't sell well, so ah! I'll take it to Chen Guo and sell it, and the people here love to eat the millet I sell! Therefore, ah! Look how good my business is! Thanks to these guests, I was able to feed my family, so ah! No matter who buys more than three buckets of rice, I will ask the guy to send it to the house!"

When Chen Xian heard this, he looked at the boss who sold rice with approval, nodded and said: "The boss's rice grains are so full, they are all fine and high-quality rice grains, and the hospitality is so thoughtful, no wonder your business is so good!"

The boss smiled and said, "It's all God's blessing!" Thanks to the blessing of Emperor Chen! Blessings to the Master! It's also a blessing for the lord of Toshaw!"

When Chen Xian heard this, he couldn't help asking, "Why did the boss say that?" "

The boss looked at the sky and said, "If it weren't for God's blessing of the four seasons, our millet would not be a bumper harvest every year!" If it weren't for the kindness of Emperor Chen, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to do business here, if it weren't for the Taishi who loved the people and reduced our taxes, we wouldn't have made a lot of money, and even more, if it weren't for the fact that the Lord of Xiao County destroyed the Black Witch Clan, and had a ...... relationship with Emperor Chen and our Taishi of Wei."

Xiao Mingyue listened, and hurriedly took over the conversation, "What the boss said is true!" You should thank God, Emperor Chen, and Master Yuwen, and as for destroying the black witch, it is not only Xiao Mingyue's credit alone, but also the credit of many people!"

The boss smiled, as if he was going to continue to say something, Chun'an gave him a look, and the boss wondered if he would say something wrong.

"But customs duties and market rents. Do you think it makes sense? If it increases or decreases, how much will it affect your shop? Xiao Mingyue asked.

When the boss heard this, he said: "Now no matter how much this tariff is, the tax will remain the same every time, and we will be more cost-effective if we ship more millet rice, but if it is shipped less, we will also suffer a loss." As for the city rent, we are originally foreign vendors, and we should have more than local vendors!"

"How much?" Chen Xian asked.

"Half as much as the local vendors!" The boss replied.

"Could it be that no matter what kind of business you do, how big the shop is, whether it is profitable or not, it is half a time more charged?!" Chen Xian continued to ask.

The boss nodded, "yes!"

Chen Xian listened, frowned, and said, "That's not very reasonable. "

The boss smiled and said: "Childe, the emperor is willing to let us do business here, eat together, and be able to support our family, it is already the creation of these people that I bored, and there are still too many extravagant hopes there!"

"Since you are doing business here, it is the mutual benefit between the two countries, which is beneficial to the people of the two countries, and is conducive to the trade between the two countries. And whether it is the people of Chen or Wei, they are all people of the world, and no matter where they go to do business, they should not be treated differently!" Chen Xian said.

When the boss heard this, he nodded hurriedly and said approvingly: "Childe is really a gentleman!" That's a good point! If one day it is really as Childe said, then Childe will come here to buy rice again, and I will sell it to Childe at a low price!"

Chen Xian, Xiao Mingyue, and Chun An couldn't help but smile when they heard this.

Chen Xian said happily to the boss: "Okay! The words of the boss, I remembered. I'll be back to buy rice another day!"

Chun An also looked at the boss and nodded.

Then the group left the rice shop.

The boss also asked, "Childe, don't you really need to send it to your mansion for you?" "

Chen Xian turned his head, smiled lightly at the boss, and said, "No need, thank you!"

Xiao Mingyue and Chen Xian walked in front, and Chun An waited on the side.

Two Ouchi masters, each holding two and a half buckets of rice, followed closely.

Chen Xian sighed: "I didn't expect that this mutual market has such great benefits, which is even better than the few people imagined!" These traders also know how to be grateful, do business, be honest and honest! The widows decided to reduce their market rent a little, which was almost on par with the local traders. Of course, you can't suddenly become the same market rent as the local vendors, and the local people and vendors will inevitably be unbalanced. However, the customs duty is really not very reasonable, things are dead, and people are alive. If there are few things, the customs tariffs will be reduced, and if there are many things, the customs duties will also increase!"

Xiao Mingyue was extremely happy when she heard Chen Xian say this.

said: "Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty's move will definitely be admired by all the people!" It's still early, why don't we go to other shops!"

Chen Xian nodded in agreement: "It's okay, you can't just listen to 'one family' in this matter." However, Mingyue, it's a shame that you came up to ask the widow to come out for an unannounced visit, and the widow has benefited a lot!"

Xiao Mingyue smiled and said: "Mingyue also wants to solve problems for Your Majesty and make a small contribution to the Jiangshan Society!"

Chen Xian followed Xiao Mingyue's hand tightly and continued to walk forward.

Xiao Mingyue was also relieved that she did not ask the emperor to leave the palace to come to the market in vain, after all, Chen Xian had already decided to continue to exchange markets, reduce market rents, and adjust customs duties.

Thinking that if the mutual market continues, there will be a 'host' among the countries that will spontaneously elect, and at that time, with Yu Wendi's ability to do business for many years, it will be a matter of time before he becomes a 'host'.

Now that the emperor has treated the people of the two countries almost the same, even if Yu Wendi is the 'host' who is proficient in commerce and business, no one will object!

It's just that although I know this matter very well in my heart for a long time, I can't say it directly, otherwise, it will only backfire. makes everyone feel that they are favoring Yuwendi.

I went to the grocery store opened by the Wei people, and the weapons shop opened by the Huns, as well as the leather goods shop of the Tangut people, the pastry shop of Rouran, and so on, and I saw them one by one.

The result is the same as in the rice shop.

Chen Xian became more and more determined in his mind, and decided to return to the palace to adjust the market rent and tariffs, and unite other countries to carry out more mutual markets as soon as possible.

After returning to the palace, Xiao Mingyue instructed Chun'an to send the millet to the imperial dining room and save it for the emperor to cook rice soup for the emperor at night.

When he returned to Mingyue Tower, Amber and Cai Wei hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "County Lord, today's 'private visit to Weifu' with His Majesty, can you gain something?!"

Xiao Mingyue smiled and said: "Of course there is a harvest, the matter of mutual market between countries is already a 'certain' thing, and it will be carried out as soon as possible, those who do business between countries will have a better life, and business will be easier to starve!"

Amber frowned and said, "Miss, that's not what the two of us are asking. "

Xiao Mingyue looked at the gossipy eyes of the two and said, "Hmm...... Today, I only paid close attention to the merchants from other countries, and forgot to buy rouge gouache for you. But I've bought you a few hot 'sticky rice chickens'!

After saying that, he took out the 'glutinous rice chicken' that he bought for a few people from behind!

Amber couldn't help but swallow when she saw the 'glutinous rice chicken', and hurriedly took it and said to Cai Wei: "Let's go eat it!" Otherwise, it should be cold!"

On the second day, above the court, Chen Xian told the ministers about it and explained his decision.

Zhu Yushi said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

There are also some officials who rely on customs customs to make money, and they are very dissatisfied, but the matter has come to this point, if they oppose it, first, they will destroy the diplomatic relations of various countries; Second, they are not sympathetic to the sufferings of the people in the world.

Therefore, although everyone is worried about the reduction of market rent and customs duties, they have to pretend to be loyal and patriotic and sympathetic to the people!

"Your Majesty has now set an example for the kings of various countries, and I believe that they will also follow Your Majesty's good strategy because of this, but Your Majesty should still do this 'host' position!" Mrs. Lu said.

Chen Xian shook his head and said, "The 'host' must be a person who knows how to do business and is familiar with business. The widow is not very familiar with commerce and trade, so it is better for other kings to hold this position, and the widow will assist and supervise it!"

"But if Your Majesty doesn't hold the position, who else can have this ability?" Tobe Dong Shilang said.

When they heard this, they looked at each other, and they did not dare to speak.

Seeing them like this, Chen Xian also thought of Yu Wendi.

Then he said: "Although the widow has always disliked Yu Wendi, he is indeed a business talent, and the 'host' widow is willing to give it to him!"
