Chapter 30 Huo Zhixuan

Jin Yutang, the largest gold and silver jewelry store in the entire empire, its owner is involved in various industries, if you want to say that the entire empire except Li Shen, who is the richest, I am afraid that there is only this Jin Yutang owner, the assets are estimated to be able to be calculated clearly for a while, in just a few decades, it is really unbelievable to create such a family business.

Li Shen also came over today to have something to "discuss."

The Chamber of Commerce established by Jin Yutang is the largest chamber of commerce in the entire empire, and basically businessmen with slightly larger industries have joined Jin Yutang's Chamber of Commerce.

The business reform has not yet been carried out, and the matter has been dragged on to this day.

It's not that Li Shen doesn't want to completely reform it at one time, but there are too many things, the general policy of the Tang Dynasty is still being implemented, the reform of commercial taxation, there has been no time to get it before, and today's ancients are too uncivilized, and the commercial tax is not good, and the people complain a lot, especially these businessmen who go south and north, they are now the main channel for the dissemination of various news, it can be said that businessmen play a great role in public opinion, and sometimes they can influence the thoughts of people everywhere.

The benefits of commercial tax to the imperial court, Li Shen naturally knows, as a modern person, if he doesn't even know this, then he will live in vain for more than 20 years, although now the commercial tax of Datang is collected, it is estimated that it is not a lot, but everything must have a beginning, with the acceleration of the pace of reform in Datang, the area occupied by commercial tax will become larger and larger.

Li Shen's idea, of course, is the same as that of the modern government, when the time comes, to completely eliminate agricultural taxes and all kinds of burdens attached to the people.

"The grass people have seen Your Majesty." Liang Yunqing, the steward of Jinyutang, hurriedly ran out with a smile on his face, shouted at Li Shen, bowed to Pang Lan, and said, "I've seen Niangniang." ”

Li Shen nodded slightly.

"Your Majesty, please inside."

The magnificent decorations, the columns inlaid with gold leaf and other objects make people feel a little uncomfortable in their eyes, and the whole is the style of a local tyrant.

Li Shen sometimes wondered, why this ancient time was divided into agriculture and industry, and the status of merchants was placed as the most lowly business, even the wearing of accessories had strict control, and the people also upheld the idea of resolute resistance to doing business, but they never considered it, these days are all their own homes, why do you need to look at the eyes of others, this day of big fish and big meat, but you have to gnaw pickles all day long, can you be superior? If it were him, he would rather do business and eat well and be served by someone than endure hardship.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang, the master in the workshop recently just made a set of exquisite ornaments, I don't know ......"

"You go and see what you want to buy directly." Li Shen smiled at Pang Lan and said, facing Liang Yunqing, "Is your host here?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, the owner usually rarely comes to the store, why don't you wait a while, and the grass people will let the owner come over?"

Li Shen nodded.

"Your Majesty, please go to the private room with the grass people to rest for a while." Liang Yunqing said, and glanced at the shopkeeper who was standing not far away.

A waitress who always had a faint smile on her face walked over, bowed, and said to Pang Lan: "Niangniang, please come with the slave maid, and the slave maid will show you the jewelry in the store." ”

Looking at Pei Lan's projected eyes, Li Shen smiled and said, "Go ahead, help Green Lotus choose a few things, and wait to see the old man." “

Pang Lan nodded slightly, saluted, and walked to the second floor under the leadership of the waiter, the first floor is basically open to ordinary people, and the second floor and above are high-quality products, and they are also open to dignitaries and wealthy people.

Two cups of tea and some pastries were placed on the table, and Da Xiong tested whether it was poisonous or not, and nodded at Li Shen.

Picking up the teacup, Li Shen took a sip, looked at the decoration in the wing, raised his eyebrows slightly, and felt a faint aroma of rouge between his noses, the taste of rouge was a little indescribable, and it felt like the fragrance of lotus flowers, and the furnishings in the wing room could also see that the owner of this wing room was a person with a delicate mind and a unique taste.

Time ticked by

After waiting for about a stick of incense, there was a gentle knock on the door of the room.

Li Shen turned around and looked at a delicate woman in a pale green dress walking in, frowning slightly.

"The people have seen Your Majesty." Huo Zhi bowed and said lightly.

"You ......"

"Huo Zhixuan, the folk girl, is the owner of Jinyutang."

Although today's women are not as bound as they were after the Tang Dynasty, even if the Tang Dynasty is reforming, the status of women is still inferior to that of men, not to mention that they are still able to arrange a woman to come over when they come to them today.

Huo Zhixuan looked at Li Shen and looked at her, her face was slightly blushing, and explained: "My father and brother went out, and there was only the little girl left in the family. ”

Li Shen nodded and said, "Sit down, there are indeed some things I want to find you, I don't know if you can do it?" ”

Huo Zhixuan sat down, nodded a little awkwardly, and said in a low voice: "The affairs of Chang'an City are generally watched by the little woman, and some things can still be done by the master, if it really doesn't work, the little woman will tell her father, and let the father make the decision when the time comes." ”

Li Shen glanced at the big bear.

Da Xiong handed a document in his arms to Huo Zhixuan.

"Your Majesty, this ......" Huo Zhixuan raised his head and looked at Li Shen with some confusion and asked.

"Take a look, this is the Empire's future reform plan for commerce, and I hope that your Golden Jade Hall can cooperate and promote this matter." Li Shen explained.

Huo Zhixuan nodded and said, "This matter... The stakes are high, and it's not for a little girl to make a decision privately...... Your Majesty, why don't you wait for the little girl to tell her father about this, and then tell Your Majesty. ”

"Your father ...... him?"

"My father is in Yangzhou City, and it is estimated that he will be able to return in a few days, and the little woman will tell my father to come back as soon as possible."

"Okay, the document will be placed here for you, there is no need to keep it secret, when the time comes, let your father read it, and then give me an answer, just inform the steward in the hotel directly, I still have some things to deal with, so I won't bother Miss." Li Shen stood up and said lightly, looking at Huo Zhixuan, whose face was always blushing, and smiled a little speechless in his heart.
