Chapter 305: Opening
Zhao Wenxian said: "In the past few days, they have been honest, and the price of wine has also dropped, and they are not as ostentatious as before." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info It can be seen that they are still afraid of you. ”
"I'm afraid it's too late to know now."
Luo Yi sneered: "I will let them spit out all the food, and I will pay interest along with it." ”
Zhao Wenxian said happily: "Big brother has a way?" ”
"Yes, but it's just a little longer. Don't rush, clean them up, there is time. ”
Luo Yi pointed to the list and said: "This matter, let's let Er Fat handle it, he has been close to the officials in Chang'an in the past two years, and he has some friendship, so it is much easier to do." ”
"Okay."
Zhao Wenxian responded and put the list away.

Thunder House.
At Lei Sihai's house, Wu You came eagerly, with wind under his feet, and quickly walked into Lei Sihai's house.
"Why did you come in without a word of communication?"
"When is it, what's the spread?"
Coming to Lei Sihai, Wu You sat and drank tea and moistened his throat.
"Brother Lei, do you know about the Chamber of Commerce?"
Lei Sihai wrote something on the table, looked up and said: "I know, now the Ministry of Industry is operating, and a large courtyard has been divided in Beicheng as the office location of the Chamber of Commerce, and Luo Yi is the chief inspector of the State Chamber of Commerce." ”
Wu You said: "So you know, so why aren't you in a hurry?" ”
"Do you know that the emperor posted the emperor's list, borrowed money from the people, and repaid 10% of the principal and interest in the coming year, but I'm worried about this matter, it's not saving money, it's not saving money."
"Alas, there is no way, I have no choice but to come to you to discuss."
Lei Sihai added: "It's not so much that the emperor borrowed money, but that it was Luo Yi... Don't forget, now Luo Yi is the chief inspector of the State Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce is all up to him, and all this money has to be deposited in the Chamber of Commerce. ”
Wu You hurriedly said: "That's what I'm worried about, I gave the money to Luo Yi, isn't there no return." But if you don't give it to him, you can't say it, in Chang'an City, we are also one of the best households, and we don't take a penny, this.... ”
"Why are you confused?"
Lei Sihai said with a smile: "Since we have to pay it, then we can pay less, 10,000 or 20,000, even if we make less money these days." ”
Wu You rolled his eyes, he had already thought about this trick, one or two thousand was too little, Luo Yi wouldn't look at it, could he get away with it? Can Luo Yi believe it?
Drinking tea, Wu You's face was full of sadness.
Lei Sihai also knew that this move was a little inappropriate, and if it was not done well, it would anger Luo Yi and cause unnecessary trouble.
"So what do you say?"
Seeing that Wu You disagreed, Lei Sihai asked.
"I want to know what to do, and I'm here to ask you what you're doing."
Lei Sihai gritted his teeth and said: "Then let's suffer a little loss, take out a little more, I decide, give 50,000!" This is already the most I can come up with, let's avoid disaster, and he has nothing to say. ”
"Luo Yi is under the banner of the emperor, if you don't know how to lift, the consequences are unpredictable, I advise you, don't go against him, and take out 50,000 too."
Fifty thousand is indeed a big number, even if Lei Sihai and Wu You have made a lot of money these days, and the business has also been big, but this is also a lot, and they have done their best.
I didn't expect Lei Sihai to figure it out so quickly, Wu You was a little surprised, and said with a wry smile: "You are really willing, admire." ”
"Even you can figure it out, so what am I hesitating about, I'll go and prepare the money, and when the Chamber of Commerce opens, I'll take the money and go, and I can be regarded as having an explanation with Luo Yi."
The so-called confession, of course, refers to the fact that the price of drunken immortal wine has been reduced these days, and even Luo Yi's drunken immortal residence has been closed, although Luo Yi didn't care, but Wu You still felt a little embarrassed.
50,000 taels of silver, even if you have paid all the money you earned.
After thinking about it, Wu You relaxed all over his body and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll leave." ”
"Let's go our separate ways."

National Academy of Commerce.
After thinking about it for a long time, Luo Yi finally came up with this name, since Li Shimin named him the chief inspector of the state business, the name of the chamber of commerce was simply named after the state business.
The three big characters of the State Chamber of Commerce, Luo Yi asked people to carve the plaque and get it to the front.
On this day, the weather was clear, cloudless, and it was another sunny day; Luo Yi chose to let the State Business Institute officially open today.
As soon as the notice was issued, there were a lot of people here, most of them poor people, all crowded at the gate of the National Chamber of Commerce, looking around and discussing with each other.
The gate of the National Commercial Institute has not yet opened, but a notice has been posted outside.
Time passed until it was almost noon, when the door finally opened, and at the same time forty or fifty soldiers ran out of it, lined up on either side, and presented a path leading inside.
These soldiers were all borrowed by Luo Yi from Wang Shilin, a total of fifty, and they had to be returned after finishing their work. Originally, the National Chamber of Commerce should have its own soldiers, but due to the tight schedule, it was not in a hurry.
The soldiers stood up, and Luo Yi walked out with Zhao Wenxian and Zhao Wenyong.
"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me."
Luo Yi pressed his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet.
"Today, it is the opening day of the National Chamber of Commerce, the emperor list has been posted as early as half a month ago, I believe you have also seen it, the country is short of money and needs your help, this is the same as killing the enemy on the battlefield, the country is in trouble, everyone is responsible; But don't worry, the emperor said, no matter how much money you save, when you come to the next year, you will pay it back, and you can get more, you can not believe me Luo Yi, but you must believe the emperor!! ”
Doing things under the banner of Li Shimin was really smooth, as soon as Luo Yi finished speaking, almost everyone shouted: "Believe in the emperor!" Believe in the Emperor! Believe in the Emperor! ”
Luo Yi smiled: "Okay, then let's start, follow the order, line up to enter the National Business Academy." ”
Luo Yi walked in. At the same time, the people outside all took pictures and followed Luo Yi to enter.
Further in the courtyard, there is the lobby, which is similar to a modern bank, with four or five windows, and the queue opponents start from the windows, from the inside to the outside, and even to the street, as long as there are enough people.
Today is the first day of the opening of the National Chamber of Commerce, and the imperial list has been posted for several days, so of course there are more people coming.
There were five queues, and they were lined up through the courtyard to the street.
However, these are the ordinary people of Chang'an, and they all have a heart to serve the country, and they have the heart to donate money, but in fact, they don't have much in their hands, and some can't even take out ten cents, and the most will not exceed one hundred taels.
"Wenxian, did Er Fat go to visit those rich businessmen, just rely on these people, how many can there be?" At the counter in the courtyard lobby, Luo Yi and Zhao Wenxian were sitting in a small room, where they could clearly see the situation outside the courtyard and in the hall.
Although there are a lot of people, Luo Yi is not too satisfied, all the poor ghosts who come, how much oil and water can they have.
Zhao Wenyong was outside to maintain order.
Zhao Wenxian said with a smile: "Big brother, don't worry, usually rich people don't come to line up, and when these people are gone, they will naturally come." ”
"I hope it's as you say."
Luo Yi said: "I once boasted in front of the emperor that within a year, I would gather three million taels of silver, and I couldn't break my word, if I broke my promise, I had to make up for it with money." ”
"Ahh
Zhao Wenxian was surprised: "Big brother, why do you bother, if you don't get together, you don't get together, why should we pay for it ourselves." ”
Luo Yi asked: "Do you think I can't get three million?" ”
"It's not that you can't get it, but there are some troubles, just Chang'an, it's definitely not okay, you have to open the State Chamber of Commerce to other states and provinces, and gather the strength of the people all over the world to have a glimmer of life." But now we don't have so much experience, and we don't have so many people, even to run a Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, we have to go to the government to borrow soldiers, hehe... ”
Luo Yi said: "This is what I want to tell you, our National Chamber of Commerce must have its own soldiers, otherwise how to protect the money of the National Chamber of Commerce and how to maintain the execution, we will not go to the government office to borrow troops every time; Even if Wang Shilin is willing, I am not at ease. ”
"After today, I will go to meet the emperor and ask the emperor to allow my country's business academy to also have military power."
After sitting in the house for most of the day, there were still a lot of people outside, crowded and lively.
Luo Yi stood up, walked to the registration book and looked at it, and suddenly frowned a little, what was written in the book was that the most saved money was only five taels of silver, most of them were a few cents, and even a penny.
Oh my God, are you sure it's all the people of Chang'an?
Luo Yi smiled bitterly, if it goes on like this, it will be difficult to make up three million.
Luo Yi thought that maybe the people had not yet understood the true meaning of saving money, thinking that if they took out the money, they would never get it back.
But Luo Yi couldn't understand that when saving money, there were documents, signatures, and seals from the State Chamber of Commerce, were these not enough to convince the people.
"Alas, forget it, I'll go to the palace to see the emperor, I'll leave it to you here."
Zhao Wenxian nodded and said, "Okay, big brother, don't worry." ”
The opening of the National Chamber of Commerce was also a big event for Li Shimin, and he also sent someone to keep an eye on it, and almost at the same time, the person he sent out to report back to the imperial study went to the imperial study with Luo Yi.
After listening to the spies' report and seeing Luo Yi again, Li Shimin smiled and said, "Luo Yi, how is it?" It's not a small gain, right? I heard that the entrance of the National Business Institute was full of people, and it was crowded. ”
