"That's good! In my little nephew's opinion, at present, you have to draw a clear line with the old ministers of the Holy Saint, of course, your good intentions need to be known to those people, otherwise there will be a comeback in the future! A series of business opportunities are a great opportunity right now, and you are not allowed to quit your position all the time, just hold up the banner of business and participate in relevant business initiatives frequently! In the past, the convergence of interests between our various forces was the foundation, but at this time, it is no longer possible to choose commercial partners in the same front, but on the surface it seems to be the universal nature of non-discrimination! Our advantage is that each specific business project will be unique and cutting-edge, and we will first grasp the solid foundation that others have to work with us! ”

"Go on, you're in the right direction right now!" Seeing that Li Zhi's tone paused slightly, the king of the county encouraged him at the right time.

"Seeing that you no longer care about the struggle between the forces of the imperial court, and there are contributions such as rice paper that can be famous in history, coupled with the general friendship between the people in the court, it will inevitably affect the extra attention of the Empress Wu. On her side, it is up to me to try to create an increasingly rich and simple commercial atmosphere through commercial infiltration, maybe you will always stay in Chang'an City! On the other hand, if you also use commercial cooperation, it is still up to me to support the old ministers of the Holy Saint from where the wealth comes from, and it can be regarded as your help on the side, especially the local Shang clan forces, so that they must feel that you are not betraying. ”

"You must know that the martial arts side is not a fool, and will always deliberately create a temptation for me to make a choice!"

"It's inevitable, but that's where your old strengths lie. It seems that you are struggling on the edge of the cliff and are in a dilemma, but in fact, it plays the role of a middle rope in the advance and retreat of the living mud! The intrigue between the forces is also interconnected with each other and meshing with each other, and once someone needs you to come forward to clarify the line, a drag can be resolved in the next commercial interests. It may seem like you're in a particularly dangerous situation, but in fact, because of the balance of interests, the effect of loud thunder and small rain is the most suitable for the situation to progress. Take 10,000 steps back, as a last resort, and it is not too late to raise your old bright banner again! But that kind of probability is extremely small, because our Tang Dynasty is vast, and you also know that often the person in charge of a remote area, if the emperor invites him to go to Kyoto for a banquet, he often has to issue an edict a year in advance, and for a banquet, this one round trip is two years. You don't need to use it frequently, it only takes three or two times, and a few years have passed, and at that time, you have already publicized it without asking the name of the government! ”

"It's also Ha, Luoyang is nearly 800 miles away from Chang'an City, an order is issued, and it will take a month to come and go at the earliest, this time is poor, enough for both sides to take corresponding countermeasures! But there is also a difficulty in the communication of you and me! ”

"I don't know if you've heard of the pigeon?"

"Flying Pigeon? There was such a rumor in the former Sui Dynasty, and there were similar allusions in the south. But is it reliable to place such an important letter on a small bird? ”

"Just use the secret language in the content of the message! And the carrier pigeon itself will recognize the way home, just like the tired bird homecoming, the use of flying pigeons to pass on the message is very fast, it identifies the direction of its own advantage is the domestication of the pigeon's talent, to improve the speed of the delivery of the letter The degree of insurance is quite high, and then a limited increase in a few at one time, there is always a safe arrival! This method has already taken shape in many places in the Western Regions. ”

"How fast do these pigeons fly?"

"It is said that as long as the training is done properly, ordinary carrier pigeons can travel at least thousands of miles a day, which is enough for Chang'an City to travel to and from Luoyang in one day!"

"Oh my God, the speed is so terrifying?"

"Therefore, as long as you can ensure that the secret language of the correspondence is not cracked, it is enough to release a few more in a few days, as long as you grasp the information and inform the opportunity, it will be much easier to deal with it!"

"I think this method is feasible, and tomorrow I will instruct trustworthy people to secretly breed and domesticate this thing in the suburbs."

Briefly explained, the conversation between the three of them lasted for more than an hour, and at this time it was almost time, and the king of the county just used the lunch time to gather the people in the house.

He had the intention to accompany the two of them all the way to the county king's mansion chamber, and then let them leave, and he had the sixth child and Granny Xia follow from afar.

The county lord of Qingqi was also allowed to be absent, and she was instructed to lead Li Zhixian to walk around Chang'an City, and then formally meet with the people in Fuzhong at dinner time.

Not surprisingly, the four second-generation uncles of the county king's mansion seemed to have been guarding the door of the remote courtyard and never evacuated, and the appearance of the county king naturally ruined their own plans.

Along the way, the county lord of Qingqi couldn't help but complain about the boring of those people again, Li Zhi smiled and comforted: "No matter how you say it, it's your own family, no matter how you have an idea, you can't beat it to death with a stick!" Uncle Li also said just now, the future situation is quite uncertain, how many uncles do you have in mind? They also do this to give their families more protection! ”

"Then you can't think of sticking a stick sideways when you know that you have the first deal with the county king's mansion! You have to make it clear that since you don't dare to occupy the share of the house, it will inevitably encroach on you, what is the difference between this kind of behavior and forcible seizure? ”

"Anyway, they don't want to get a piece of the pie, but your fleece sweater business can take care of them! I think so, the first batch of ready-to-wear weaving, in addition to your father and three mothers, first of all, the four of them have to send a few pieces, you are not allowed to open your mouth, a few people also want to participate, and then they will send people to study in other hospitals! ”

"You are generous, this time it is almost synchronized with our weaving progress, where is there more benefits to be gained?"

"Just the rich and noble families in Lili in Chang'an City are far from being able to provide a source of goods by one or two workshops, and once that trend is together, it will multiply very quickly. Even if only pure wool can be provided at present, but each demand is by no means one or two pieces, perhaps some high-profile households will purchase in large quantities! ”

"Yes! Pure wool sweater warmth effect, can make people take off the bloated and tired in winter, now I Datang economic development, social stability, political clarity, people are rich and healthy, there is unprecedented prosperity, listen to the older generation, clothing is also unprecedented enlightened fashion. ”

"Therefore, in such a good situation, the prospect of sweaters is very broad, and perhaps in a short period of time, it will be more profitable than rice paper! Imagine that there are not many strict process requirements, you and I can be a monopoly? Just let it go, in the early days of the establishment of the industry to let go of the introduction of a group of hands, we not only provide the color weaving process, but also to cooperate with all their needs in addition to money! ”

When the county lord of Qingqi was sighing for Li Zhi's generosity, he had been attracted by the prosperous scenery of Chang'an City, which was gradually entering.

This is not the first time he has come to the city, but it was two years ago, and the ancient city of Chang'an is now much more prosperous.

As early as the beginning of Zhenguan, under the leadership of Tang Taizong, the whole country was united, and the economy quickly improved. In the eighth or ninth year of Zhenguan, cattle and horses were everywhere, the people had enough food and clothing, they did not close their doors at night, and they did not leave anything behind, and there was a thriving scene of leveling.

The huge influence radiates to the surrounding areas, the military is strong, the culture is advanced, and the economy is prosperous, so Chang'an City in the Tang Dynasty is the largest capital city in the world at that time.

Its urban area covers an area of more than 80 square kilometers, with many shops and a thriving market, and the urban population is more than one million.

The Tang Dynasty government had close cultural and trade exchanges with neighboring countries, so that many foreign vassals also lived in Chang'an City for a long time at this time.

In the future, as the role of the Silk Road becomes more and more obvious, the city of Chang'an will be crowded with people from all over Asia as the eastern terminus of the land trade route across Central Asia and the capital of the largest empire in history.

Chang'an set up two commercial centers in Waiguo City, one is the East Market and the other is the West Market, and the East and West Cities have become the commercial centers of Chang'an City.

The two markets each occupy two squares of land, surrounded by walls, each with two gates, and between the two opposite gates, there is a direct street.

Next to the main street, there are many winding alleys. The streets and alleys are interconnected and very easy to get around.

The government of the Tang Dynasty set up a "city bureau" and a "leveling bureau" in the two markets.

The "Municipal Bureau" is also known as the "Municipal Bureau", and the "Ordinance" is an official from the six products, which controls the "transaction of hundreds of ethnic groups"; The "Municipal Bureau" is subordinate to Taifu Temple and is the highest management body in the two cities.

The "Equalization Bureau" is also known as the "Equalization Bureau", and the officials of the "Equalization Bureau" are called "Equalization Order", which is the official from the seventh grade, and its duty is to "take charge of the affairs of the official market".

According to the regulations of the Tang Dynasty, in order to facilitate the administration of the imperial court, commercial activities were limited to the market.

The market gate opens and closes at a fixed time every day, and in the morning, the morning light is slightly dewed, and the market begins; In the evening, as the sun sets, the market closes to the sound of deafening rumbling drums.

There has always been a contempt for merchants in traditional Chinese culture, and since the Warring States period, there has been a policy of "rewarding ploughing wars and suppressing merchants", especially during the Qin and Han dynasties, when the restrictions on merchants and commerce even exceeded those of various dynasties in history.

However, the Tang Dynasty was aware of this problem as early as the beginning of its establishment and has been trying to change it.

This kind of policy and the change of people's old traditional concepts are still different from the modern China before the reform and opening up, although the imperial court has control, but the power of the imperial court cannot control everything from far and wide.

Just like in Chang'an City, at the same time, it is not absolutely possible to control the commercial breakthrough of the east and west cities to develop into many miles. Moreover, prosperous commerce, in addition to abundant tax revenue, can also increase market supply and stabilize social relations for the imperial court.

As a result, these two markets became famous throughout the country by the earlier liquor sellers, and the gold, silver and jade shops that opened here in succession also made a fortune.

Therefore, now it has long been Jinggongfang felt industry, Chongrenfang musical instrument industry, Yongchongfang tea shop, Fuxingfang Hu cake shop, Zhengfang wonton and other crowds of people flocking to shops, everywhere you can see everywhere there are all kinds of small vendors selling all kinds of miscellaneous items in the streets without shops, and even the funeral industry of one-stop funeral has also flourished since then.
