As the saying goes, "new officials take office with three fires", and Zhu Ming and others are naturally the same.

In the morning, they came to the headquarters of the Datang Royal Commercial Alliance, and then greeted each other.

"Lord Zhu, hello, hello!"

"Oh, isn't this Lord Zhao? It's been a day, are you okay? ”

"yes, great, hahahaha!"

Maybe it was because they were too excited, and a few people spoke louder, and an aunt carrying a vegetable basket to the street was originally walking towards them, but after hearing their conversation, she turned around and ran away.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Ming and the others, who were originally talking, were dumbfounded.

"We're not going to be taken crazy, are we?"

Everyone thought about it and found that this might be relatively large, after all, they don't even have official uniforms now, and they are still saying something unnutritious on Suzaku Street, which is full of people, and it is not surprising that they are regarded as crazy.

Thinking of this, a trace of embarrassment suddenly flashed on everyone's faces, and they looked at each other, but they didn't know what to say.

In the end, it was Zhu Ming who opened his mouth first.

"Uh...... Ladies and gentlemen, let's go to the house and talk! ”

Hearing Zhu Ming's proposal, everyone immediately nodded.

"What Lord Zhu said is extremely true, all my lords, please!"

"Please!"

After everyone entered the house, Zhu Ming spoke again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trusts us so much, we naturally can't let him down, as the so-called food of the king, loyalty to the king, this is our duty as ministers."

As soon as Zhu Ming's words fell, a burst of echoing voices suddenly sounded next to him.

"What Lord Zhu said is extremely true."

"I'll do it for myself!"

"Yes, yes!"

Seeing that everyone expressed their approval, Zhu Ming immediately smiled and nodded.

"Since all of you agree with the official's statement, the official will be blunt!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Ming's expression immediately became serious.

"We are all businessmen, so no one knows the nature of businessmen better than us, yesterday His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has said that the price of reorganization, we might as well walk around first, see those merchants in Chang'an City have committed the taboo of His Royal Highness the Prince, record it first, and wait for the official uniform and official seal to be in hand, and then dispose of it."

Zhu Ming's meaning is obvious, that is, he is ready to take some merchants in Chang'an City!

Hearing Zhu Ming's words, everyone present immediately fell silent, and no one spoke for a long time.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Ming immediately frowned.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now we have just obtained the official position, if we don't make some political achievements, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will inevitably be disappointed at that time, it's not that I'm alarmist, and now there are countless people who want to replace us!"

Hearing Zhu Ming's words, everyone's expressions immediately became serious, because they also felt that what Zhu Ming said made sense.

Why should a useless person be allowed to continue to be an official?

After thinking about this, everyone suddenly couldn't sit still.

"Master Zhu, tell me, should we do this?"

"yes, yes, you have an idea!"

"As long as you say it, we will listen to you!"

In the Tang Dynasty, businessmen and sons-in-law were not allowed to enter the court as officials, and they were considered to have broken the precedent, so they also cherished this hard-won official position.

Everyone's reaction was expected by Zhu Ming, and after listening to everyone's words, he immediately nodded.

"Okay, then I'll say it straight, Zhuque Street is mainly a few small vendors, let's ignore this, now the relatively large merchants in Chang'an, mainly concentrated in the East Market and the West Market, let's start with them, and I'll go to secretly check the grain prices in these two cities later."

Hearing Zhu Ming's words, a tall and thin man stood up.

"Okay, then I'll go and secretly check the prices of medicinal materials in the two cities."

With someone taking the lead, others also stood up.

"I'll check the price of the cloth!"

"I'm going to check the price of lamp oil!"

"I'll ......"

Seeing that everyone was scrambling, Zhu Ming suddenly smiled even brighter, and just as he was about to give an order, a voice suddenly came from outside.

"Everyone, don't be impatient!"

Hearing this, everyone quickly turned their heads to look at the comer, and then bowed to him together.

"Xiaguan has seen Lord Tian!"

The person who came was Tian Yi, because he had suffered a leg injury in his early years, he didn't walk very smoothly, but as the only person in the audience who had an official uniform, everyone didn't dare to have any disrespectful expressions in front of him.

Looking at everyone's respectful appearance, Tian Yi immediately nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, I heard what you said just now, it's good that you can have such a mind, but it's not the right way!"

Speaking of this, Tian Yi turned his head to look at Zhu Ming.

"Zhu Ming, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked you to be in charge here, not to let you give orders, fortunately, there are only our own people here, if outsiders see it, they still think that we businessman-born officials have no rules!"

As soon as Tian Yi's words fell, Zhu Ming's cold sweat suddenly came out, and he hurriedly bowed to Tian Yi.

"Lord Tian has taught the right lesson, it is the lower official who has overstepped, thank you Lord Tian for correcting me!"

Seeing Zhu Ming's attitude so sincere, Tian Yi's expression also improved.

"It's good to know that the passover, we are all doing things for His Royal Highness the Prince, and we must think more about His Royal Highness the Prince, I know you are in a hurry to perform, but have you ever thought that such a fanfare will cause trouble for His Royal Highness the Prince."

Hearing Tian Yi's words, everyone suddenly realized.

"Could it be that Lord Tian is so angry, it turns out that this is the reason!"

Even Zhu Ming was secretly ashamed in his heart.

"It's true that I didn't think about this matter, originally I thought that Tian Yi was afraid that I would fight for power with him, it seems that I really live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

Thinking of this, Zhu Ming immediately saluted Tian Yi again.

"Lord Tian, I don't know how I should do it, please show it to Lord Tian!"

As soon as Zhu Ming's words fell, everyone stood up together and saluted Tian Yi.

"Please show me Ama!"

Looking at the scene in front of him, Tian Yi pondered slightly for a while before opening his mouth.

"You can understand your feelings, but now we should still focus on the promotion of the rugby game, mainly to do this well, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will naturally be satisfied, as for other things, let's put it first!"

Hearing Tian Yi's words, everyone immediately nodded.

"Lord Tian is high-minded, I admire it so much!"

"After listening to Lord Tian's words, I ordered the lower officials to open up!"

"Lord Tian, please accept the bows of the lower officials!"

For a while, the sycophants were rolling like a tide, which made Tian Yi a little embarrassed.

"Uh...... You colleagues don't have to be like this, these are my business, what else do you have to do? ”

Hearing Tian Yi's words, everyone immediately shook their heads, saying that they were useless, and seeing this scene, Tian Yi nodded again.

"What we said today, I still have to report to Master Wu, since everyone has nothing to do, then let's stop here, everyone can disperse."

After speaking, Tian Yi was about to turn around and leave, but before he could take a few steps, Zhu Ming suddenly came over.

"Hehe, Lord Tian, are you going to go to the Tang Royal Club now?"

Hearing Zhu Ming's question, Tian Yi immediately frowned, and then glanced at him with some doubts.

"yes, what's wrong?"

Looking at Tian Yi's puzzled look, Zhu Ming showed a look of envy.

"Lord Tian, I heard that the Tang Royal Club requires a pass token, you ......"

Without waiting for Zhu Ming to finish speaking, Tian Yi took out a copper token from his arms, and then put it directly in front of Zhu Ming's eyes.

"Is this what you're talking about?"

"Uh......"

Looking at the bronze token engraved with a galloping horse in front of him, Zhu Ming's eyes suddenly straightened.

In Zhu Ming's opinion, this token is not only the pass token of the Datang Royal Club, but also the pass token of the upper circle of the Datang Dynasty, so when Tian Yi put this token in front of his eyes, he immediately became excited.

"That's it!"

Not only Zhu Ming, after seeing the token in Tian Yi's hand, everyone present widened their eyes, and then looked at the token in Tian Yi's hand with a longing expression.

Looking at everyone's envious expressions, Tian Yi's heart suddenly felt dark, and then nodded towards everyone.

"According to the rules set by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, all Datang officials who have served for ten years can get this token for free, so everyone doesn't have to be so envious."

When they heard Tian Yi say that it would take ten years, almost all the people present showed disappointment, but all the people present were quick-witted people, and they instantly realized a problem-

Since it takes ten years, how did Tian Yiyou get this pass token?

Thinking of this, everyone immediately remembered what Tian Yi said just now, since officials who have been ten years old can get the pass token for free, can those of them who have not been ten years old get it by paying money?

Thinking of this, everyone's minds suddenly came alive again.

Seeing that everyone was excited again, Tian Yi no longer hid it.

"Okay, since everyone has thought of it, then I'll say it bluntly, in fact, even if the term of office is less than ten years, you can still use money to make up for the difference in years, and you can make up for one hundred yuan less than one year."

Hearing Tian Yi's words, everyone present was shocked.

One hundred yuan will be made up in one year less, and they are all new officials who have just taken office, that is to say, if they want to get this token, they need to pay a thousand yuan!

One thousand guan is not a small number, so everyone was silent again, and seeing that everyone stopped talking, Tian Yi immediately smiled and nodded.

"Actually, this token is not good, not only is it expensive, but it is only valid for one year, and when it comes to next year, I will have to spend 900 yuan to continue using it, hehe!"

As soon as Tian Yi's words fell, Zhu Ming, who was originally a little shaken, immediately straightened his waist, and his face was extremely solemn.

"Lord Tian, I have a thousand times, but how can I get this token?"

Looking at Zhu Ming's serious face, Tian Yi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded at him.

"Go back and prepare the money first, and then follow me to the Datang Royal Club!"

Hearing Tian Yi's words, Zhu Ming suddenly nodded excitedly.

"Yes, I'll go back and prepare!"
