Chapter 464: Preparations
By the time Han Yi returned to the city office, he had basically talked about it, so it could be said that he was waiting for Han Yi to make a closing remark.
After Han Yi's concluding remarks, the dust finally settled.
First of all, Beixiang promised not to poach businessmen from the two cities within a year, and the two sides have also argued about this, but Han Yi can't give a 10,000-year deadline, after all, he is not Monkey King, one year is his bottom line, in business, this deadline is very important, he didn't say that there will be another digging incident after a year, but God knows what it will be like after a year.
Secondly, Pingkangli will cooperate with the two cities, and the drama and the voice will land in the big restaurants of the two cities to help the two cities attract customers, which is the happiest for the businessmen of the two cities, because this is the unique advantage of North Lane, if the drama and the voice come to the two cities, then the advantage of North Lane will also be weakened.
Eventually, the guild promised to help the new merchants, and actively cooperated with the imperial court in opening more night markets.
Judging from the results, in this business competition, there is no loser, although the two cities have poached a lot of businessmen, but because Changsun Chong has almost prepared, it will soon be able to be replenished, in addition, it has also obtained dramas and good voices, it can be expected that once the night market is successful, the economy of the entire two cities will be stimulated. In the case of North Lane, not only did they obtain the official permission of the imperial court to expand the market, but as soon as the shop was built, the merchants were immediately in place, and Qian Dafang and others would also invest all their resources in North Lane, and their strength was also greatly increased.
Needless to say, the imperial court is undoubtedly the biggest beneficiary.
Progress always arises in the competition, this time the competition, laid a new pattern in Chang'an, the first point, to increase the market of Pingkangli. In the past, the North Lane was just a street, the market was very small, and there was no contact with the Middle Lane and the South Lane, but now the whole of Pingkangli is planned as an entertainment market, and the scale is not small, and most of Pingkangli is privately controlled. It is no longer controlled by the imperial court, it is a new group of power.
In addition, the number of businessmen has increased a lot, and there has been a significant increase in terms of geography and manpower.
Although the process of this event is not long, it can definitely be regarded as a landmark event.
Li Zhi's political thinking of seeking change was also reflected in the process of this matter.
In the next few days, everyone is preparing for the night market, leaving when it is time to leave, and coming when it is time to come. The two cities have become extremely lively, regardless of whether everyone really let go of the mustard in their hearts, but at present, everyone has only one purpose, that is, the night market.
In the early morning of this day, Changsun Chong and Han Yi came to Xishi.
"Huh! Han Yushi, I rarely admire people, but you are definitely one, I really didn't expect it. You can settle the grievances with the two cities so quickly. ”
Changsun Chong said with a smile as he walked, there were two obstacles to the night market at the beginning. The first is Cheng Chuliang, and the second is the grievances between Beixiang and the two cities.
But in less than a month, Han Yi has solved all of them, and the efficiency is really scary.
Han Yi shook his head with a smile and said, "Master Pony has won the award." In fact, this is not a big deal, and if it is resolved, it may not be, but for the time being, we have common interests and opportunities for cooperation between North Lane and the two cities. If it is really impossible to achieve a win-win situation, the businessmen of the two cities will only give in temporarily, and it is impossible to cooperate so much. ”
Changsun Chong shook his head with a smile and said: "Even so, that's you, it's not a secret, I thought it was almost impossible, unless you can give in, if you change me, I'm afraid it won't be solved." ”
Han Yi said with a smile: "The master of the horse is too modest, if it were the master of the horse, these problems would not exist." ”
The eldest grandson Chong was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and laughed.
"Brother Han, Master Horse."
Suddenly, he heard someone calling him, Han Yi turned his head to look, and saw Brother Xiong standing in front of a shop with a stool, looking at him with a smile, and hurriedly walked over, "I just said why couldn't I find you just now, it turns out that you came to Xishi?" What are you doing here? ”
Brother Xiong said, "Aren't I here to help Uncle Hu carry things?" ”
Han Yi was surprised: "Uncle Hu, which Uncle Hu?" ”
The eldest grandson said: "Little fatty, did you say that Hu San made milk cakes?" ”
Brother Xiong nodded and said, "Brother Han, this Uncle Hu's milk cake is delicious, I'll buy some for you later." ”
Han Yi understood, it must have been known by Brother Xiong as a food judge in Changsun Mansion, and now the businessmen who signed a contract with Han Yi have been evacuating from North Lane one after another, and the new store over there has already been chosen, the court means, let them open the store quickly, after all, Li Zhi issued a death order, must open a night market this month, as for the entanglement of these interests, let's talk slowly, those poor people heard that there are rent-free shops, and they will also give away some tools, such a good thing, They hurriedly came over and occupied the store first, for fear of variables. smiled: "Remember to give money." I'll do some errands first, and I'll come here to find you later, and we'll go back together. ”
"Oh."
Brother Xiong waved to the eldest grandson again.
Eldest Sun Chong smiled slightly and left with Han Yi.
"Chubby, this kid is really cute."
Changsun Chong has a gentle personality, and he reads a lot, he doesn't have much interest in the difference between Shishu, whether it is Xiaopang or Han Yi, he is very easy-going, he never bullies others, otherwise with his identity, who would dare to provoke him in the world today. And Chubby's baby is kind-hearted, innocent, and optimistic, and it is indeed cute. On several occasions, Changsun Chong accidentally talked to him, and saw that he had read some books, so he also told him some knowledge.
Han Yi smiled: "I'm still afraid that he will cause trouble to the horse master." He regards Chubby as his own brother, and when others praise Chubby, of course he is happy.
"You can rest assured, Xiaopang knows the rules very well, and everyone in my house loves him tightly."
The eldest grandson waved his hand, saw the happy smiling faces of those people, and said: "It's all thanks to you, if it weren't for your radical method, how would those businessmen organize everyone to donate money to help these poor people open shops, you see, these chairs and benches, teapots, and stoves are all from merchants in the two cities." ”
Han Yi shook his head and said, "What kind of agitation method, Master Ma really thinks highly of me." I'm teaching them how to make money, and the best business in the world is this catering industry, because the catering industry involves too wide, not to mention the lot, firewood, rice, oil, salt, rice, wine, vegetables, fruits, and fisheries. Animal husbandry, almost all have direct interests, not to mention these tables, chairs, benches, teapots, and oil lamps. If their business is booming, then it will undoubtedly push these industries for the better, and there is no more lucrative business than that. ”
In fact, on the second day of the reconciliation, the guild immediately held a meeting, specifically to talk about the night market. Everyone understands it, especially those who sell rice and meat, and compete to help these new businessmen and build a good relationship with them, if the night market is not opened, it will be a loss of a little money, but if it is done, this is a very stable sales channel. And the amount will not be less, what you do to do business is human favor. If you don't know how to settle this account, then just go home and play in the mud.
The meeting went on very quickly, and the big rich businessmen, especially those with huge resources, almost all of them were taken over.
"I see." Changsun Chong has never done business, and he has not understood the key until now. Suddenly, I felt that this business was quite interesting, and asked, "By the way, have you negotiated with those stores about this store?" ”
Han Yi nodded and said, "It's almost the end of the conversation, but there are too many people." It should be all implemented this month. In fact, some time ago, the price of the two cities was reduced, so that the shopping boom of the New Year came in advance, and the people bought everything they should have bought, even if they did this New Year, the income would not be very much, and I promised to exempt him from one to three months of rent, and the court would also give them a sum of money, I was to let them take advantage of this period of time to take a good rest and prepare, after all, to go to North Lane, it is not such a small shop, they must also work to prepare. ”
Changsun Chong was a little curious: "It's really incomprehensible that you do business, if you want to say that your income is completely dependent on rent, nearly a hundred businessmen, three months' rent, it's not a small amount of money." ”
Han Yi said: "What the horse master said is right, the rent for three months is indeed a lot, the key is that there are too many people, but why don't the horses think the other way around, if no one comes to my North Lane, then I can't receive a penny of rent, and now someone is willing to come, I am free of rent for three months, what is it, wait until my North Lane market is booming, add a little rent, and the rent for these three months will come back soon, and spend these three months of rent to buy a smooth sailing on my career, you say that I am a loss, or a profit." ”
Hearing this, the eldest grandson nodded frequently and said, "It is said that you businessmen are careful in their calculations, but now that I look at it, it is really true." ”
Han Yi said with a smile: "There is no way, you are only in and out, and we businessmen are either making or losing, can we not be careful in calculations, if the same is true for officials, then those who are officials will also be careful in their calculations, this profession determines people's personalities." ”
The eldest grandson said: "Don't forget that you are also an official now, and you are also a royal envoy, and you are an official, for fear of getting involved with a businessman, but you are just the opposite, always thinking of yourself as a businessman." ”
"It seems that you started it."
Han Yi refuted depressedly and said: "Actually, whether it is a businessman or an official, character is the key to determining a person's nobility, don't saints say so." ”
Eldest Sun Chong nodded and smiled: "That makes sense." ”
Suddenly, I heard someone shouting in front of me: "Brother Eldest Sun, Master, you are finally here, and I plan to send someone to invite you." ”
The two looked up and saw Cheng Chuliang striding towards them.
The eldest grandson shook his head and said, "This Cheng Er, there are really no taboos!" ”
Of course, Han Yi knew what he was referring to, and when Cheng Chuliang approached, he said, "General, don't call me Master, I really can't afford it." ”
Cheng Chuliang glared at him with a pair of big eyes, and said: "Do you think I want to lose this face, I just want to remind you that you have never taught me gambling skills, and you can't regret it." ”
Lose face? Depend on! So arrogant? Han Yi smiled: "Does the general have a poker on him?" ”
Cheng Chuliang immediately said righteously: "I'm here today for business, how embarrassed am I to bring poker, but I'll go to my house later, we can drink some wine and play poker." ”
As soon as the words fell, Han Yi raised his hand, only to see a small 2 suddenly appear between his two fingers.
Cheng Chuliang was taken aback and said, "It's amazing!" I don't like Little 2 though. I still like the old card. ”
Old card? Oh, my God! Han Yi turned his hand, the card was face down, handed it over, and said, "General, this poker is for you." ”
"Huh?"
Cheng Chuliang was stunned for a moment and took the poker. When he saw it, he was suddenly frightened and bloodless, "Old-old card?" ”
The eldest grandson Chong turned his head to take a look, and saw that the little 2 had become an old K, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and said, "Han Yushi, will you still be immortal?" ”
Han Yi smiled: "This is gambling, not immortal law." ”
"Gambling?"
Cheng Chuliang took a sharp breath, and then said with a flattering smile: "Master." When did you teach me this? "Master, he shouted this from the bottom of his heart. In his mind, he was already fantasizing about the scene of his killing in the army, and when he thought about it, he laughed happily.
Han Yi looked at him with a smirk on his face, knowing what he was thinking, the key to deception was in one word, and he did what he liked. Said: "I have already taught!" ”
Cheng Chuliang was stunned. said: "When did you teach me, you just did." I didn't see it clearly, or you'd change it a few hundred times. ”
How many hundred times? How unconfident you are in your IQ! Han Yi smiled bitterly: "I just want to tell the general that as a gambler, you can't leave poker." ”
The eldest grandson Chong immediately said: "How can this work, how can you bring poker to your office." ”
Cheng Chuliang also said: "Yes, I want to bring poker with me." That's always a lot of fun to play. ”
"Really?"
Han Yi wiped his forehead and said, "You misunderstood, I meant to bring a poker card on my body." ”
Cheng Chuliang's eyes lit up and said, "This is a good way." As he spoke, he quickly put the poker in his arms
Han Yi hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Let's talk about business." ”
Cheng Chuliang immediately said: "The lookout tower has been built, or let's go and see it first." ”
"Okay."
The three of them came to a high platform. The biggest obstacle to the night market is the fire, public security is a small problem, theft is only a small personal interest, but the fire will hurt the interests of the people of Chang'an, so this fire prevention measure must be prepared perfectly, but the contemporary people are already quite strong fire prevention ideas, not to mention anything else, arson in the Tang Dynasty, that is a super crime, even the nine clans are possible.
The fire tower is specially used for fire prevention, which is equivalent to an artificial fire alarm, which is to see where there is a fire.
The three of them went up to the high platform, and a gust of north wind blew, and Han Yi and Changsun Chong were trembling. Only Cheng Chuliang was fine, and he enjoyed it, and said: "Now we have built twenty watchtowers here, and the entire West Market is in sight. In addition, we have added four fire prevention divisions, so that no matter where the fire starts, the fire guards can be there immediately, and the water equipment is ready. ”
The eldest grandson Chong smiled and said, "Cheng Er, you are really resolute in doing things." ”
Cheng Chuliang said with a grin: "This is a big deal." ”
Han Yi said: "General, how much money does this soldier have?" ”
Cheng Chuliang was stunned for a moment, and said, "There are not many Yulu, why do you ask this?" ”
The Tang Dynasty was a government military system, soldiers were the people, the people were soldiers, and they had to farm to support their families in peacetime, but compared with ordinary farmers, the treatment was much better, but the people were really pitiful.
Han Yi groaned: "It's really uncomfortable to stand here at night and blow the night breeze, I wondered if I should let the night market allocate a little money to give these soldiers standing guard some subsidies or something." ”
Cheng Chuliang frowned and said: "This is not appropriate, the Sixteen Guards are the army guarding the Son of Heaven, if the merchants are to support them, this is a big taboo!" ”
Eldest Sun Chong also nodded.
Han Yi said with a smile: "Sooner or later, the Fire Prevention Division will return to the Civil Security Bureau, the Civil Security Bureau is to serve the people, it is a gift from the Son of Heaven to the people, so the people give these people some gratitude, and it is also a gratitude to His Majesty, why not, and if they take the subsidy of the merchants of the two cities, can they not think about these people in their hearts, they will definitely do their best to stand guard for these businessmen, so that everyone is good, and there are only a few people in the Fire Prevention Division, not as many as half of the merchants in the West Market, and it doesn't cost much." ”
Cheng Chuliang scratched his head and said, "I don't call the shots in this matter, unless Your Majesty nods." ”
Don't look at this guy, but after all, he is from a family of eunuchs, but he is very cautious in everything that involves the Son of Heaven.
Han Yi nodded and said, "I'll tell Your Majesty about this." ”
Cheng Chuliang said again: "Han Yi, there is something I want to discuss with you. ”
"What's the matter?"
Cheng Chuliang suddenly glanced at Changsun Chong.
The eldest grandson Chong said depressedly: "This place is so big, where do you want me to stand." ”
Won't you go down? Cheng Chuliang muttered in his heart, but he didn't say it, and said, "Han Yi, many of my brothers want to go to the Civil Security Bureau with me, but they don't have the money to give you gifts. "Han Yi has become famous for receiving gifts, everyone knows that if you want to ask Han Yi, you first have to give gifts, and the meritorious children in the army have already given them, but how can those soldiers have money.
The eldest grandson said: "Cheng Er, why are you here again, this is illegal." ”
Cheng Chuliang said unhappily: "Brother Eldest Sun, you just don't think you heard it, you haven't led soldiers, and you don't understand when you tell you." ”
"Don't quarrel with each other!"
Han Yi smiled and said, "General, please rest assured, I have reserved a hundred places for the soldiers of the Sixteen Guard Mansions." ”
"A hundred?"
Cheng Chuliang was surprised.
Han Yi nodded and said, "Since they don't have money to give gifts, they must be selected in my way." ”
"How?"
Cheng Chuliang leaned over and asked.
Han Yi said: "I can't say this, and the general must not disclose this news to them, otherwise, this matter may be yellow." ”
"You didn't lie to me?"
"I don't have the guts!"
Cheng Chuliang shook his head and said: "I don't believe this, your courage is notoriously big, you even dare to shoot the right servant, and it is not a blink of an eye to lie to me." ”
Han Yi rolled his eyes and said, "I swear by gambling skills, I definitely didn't lie to you." ”
Cheng Chuliang nodded and said, "This is about the same, your gambling skills are indeed clever." ”
The eldest grandson Chong on the side was already speechless when he heard it.
What is called embarrassment, this is.
They came here today for two purposes, the first is to inspect the small merchants who have just moved in, and the second is to prevent fire and theft, and tomorrow they will have to go to the East Market to inspect.
