930.Chapter 930: The Changle Gang
There is darkness in any place, and darkness can exist, and there is a reason for its existence. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It is not easy for the Hu people to do business in Chang'an City.
In the West Market, there are all kinds of gangs, and their existence makes the entire West Market present a prosperous scene, as long as these gangs do not do illegal things, the court generally does not care about them.
Otherwise, it will cut off their way of life, but it will cause unnecessary trouble to the imperial court, they are all restless people, if they can't survive, they will naturally use some unsavory means to survive.
Changle Gang, Tang Zhou didn't know anything about it, but he felt that the Changle Gang should be similar to the Xishi Gangs he understood, so for a while he didn't know whether to solve this matter or not.
The tangled Tang Zhou felt that he should first send the dry silk away, because looking at his smug, angry and arrogant expression, he wanted to beat him.
"Kusi, Ben Hou already knows about this, you go back first, and I'll inform you when there is a result."
There is nothing clever in saying this, and smart people will be perfunctory when they hear it, because if you really decide to solve this matter, you should be very angry, and you should immediately arrest the people of the Changle Gang.
But Wisi's IQ is obviously a little insufficient, and as soon as Tang Zhou said this, he immediately agreed.
"Okay, I'll go back and wait for news, but you'd better solve it as soon as possible, otherwise I'll go to your emperor, His Majesty the Heavenly Khan of the Tang Dynasty, and I'll ask him to handle this matter personally."
After he finished speaking, he really left, he thought that the threatening words he said could be useful, and after he left, Tang Zhou shook his head and smiled bitterly, this dry silk is really ridiculous, he actually threatened himself with these words, if he could threaten himself, it would be strange.
However, although he thought it was ridiculous, Tang Zhou still ordered someone to investigate the Changle Gang, because what the Changle Gang did still made him feel a little suspicious, because they only helped some fixed shops to threaten those Hu people, which meant that they colluded with these shops.
The merchants of Datang colluded with hooligans and ruffians, which is very bad for the healthy development of the Datang market.
After the official was sent out, he quickly found out the news that Tang Zhou wanted, after all, the Changle Gang in Chang'an City was not low-key, and many of their things could be easily inquired about as long as they wanted to inquire and investigate.
And when these officials told Tang Zhou the news, Tang Zhou was immediately shocked, he didn't expect that there would be such a thing in Chang'an City.
"Little Hou Ye, the situation of the Changle Gang has been investigated clearly, they are a very organized gang, the number of people is about a hundred, distributed in different places in Chang'an City, their gang leader is called Xu Changle, they usually do not intrude on the merchants in Chang'an City, they can be regarded as very honest, but for the Hu people, they have tried their best to squeeze them, and letting the Hu people sell their goods to some merchants at a low price is their most common method, and others such as collecting protection money or something, are available."
After the official said this, Tang Zhou didn't have a particularly big reaction, but he was a little harsh on the Hu people, the status of the Hu people in Chang'an City was not high, and it was normal for the people in Chang'an City to want to bully them.
But what the official said next made Tang Zhou feel shocked.
"The merchants who cooperate with the Changle Gang are all shops opened by some powerful people and children of the family in Chang'an City, they hire people from the Changle Gang to help them squeeze the Hu people, and they give some benefits to the people of the Changle Gang, the most important thing is that the powerful and the family support them, the Changle Gang is like a boss in the gangs in the West City, and they want to beat anyone who is not pleasing to the eye."
Hearing that the Changle Gang had colluded with the magnates and families in Chang'an City, Tang Zhou's brows condensed slightly, he didn't expect that the whole thing was actually the people of the magnates and the family who were making trouble behind their backs, and they actually infringed on the interests of those Hu people in order to make high profits.
This is naturally a good thing for them, but for Datang, it is definitely not a good thing.
First of all, the behavior of these people seriously hurt those Hu businessmen, they can't make money, so naturally they don't think much about coming to Chang'an, if they leave, Datang's economy will inevitably be affected, after all, the tax collected by Datang from Hu people every year is not a small amount.
It can be said that these powerful people and families are like a rat, and they spoil a pot of soup.
Of course, Tang Zhou was shocked not only by these, but also by the difficulty of this matter.
If it was just the Changle Gang, Tang Zhou would have destroyed them in minutes, but the supporters behind the Changle Gang were the powerful and the family, and if the Changle Gang moved, would it anger these powerful people and families, and would it make them suddenly hostile to themselves?
He's not a good assassin.
After thinking about it, Tang Zhou asked people to make a list of the owners of the shops that had collusion with the Changle Gang, and he wanted to see that there were those powerful people and families who were colluding with the Changle Gang to do such things, they thought that the Hu people were easy to bully, so they bullied them hard, but now they are bullying something, if it is not solved well, a war may come, and the mutual trade that they have come to come with great difficulty will also disappear.
The official wrote out the people behind the scenes of each shop, and wrote it all over a piece of paper, but the number was not much, there were only about a dozen people, Tang Zhou took a look, and the first person he saw was Gao Shilian, this person can definitely be called a powerful person, and he is also a very powerful person, and this person still has an enmity with himself.
If he touched their interests, Gao Shilian would have to unite with others to pick off his own skin.
Tang Zhou continued to read the list, and there were many people on it who were easy to mess with, either they were relatives of the emperor like Gao Shilian, or they were meritorious to Li Shimin and were awarded the title of Duke of the country.
After these people became powerful, they lacked money in their hands, so they let their people do business in Chang'an City, but what kind of business would these people do, so in order to make money, they had to use some unsightly means.
If you uproot them and solve this matter completely, it will cut off the financial route of these people, and if you cut off the financial route of others, it is to kill your parents, and it is strange that they don't fight hard with you.
How to solve this matter was even more tangled than Tang Zhou had thought before.
But if this matter is not solved, it will not work, in comparison, if it is bad with Tubo, the impact will be more serious, and now Tubo looks invincible, and there is no room for negotiation with them at all.
The current Tang Zhou can be said to be suffering from internal and external troubles, offending the powerful with internal worries, and angering Tubo with external troubles.
After pondering carefully, Tang Zhou touched his nose, and then instructed the servant: "You go to investigate, take a look at Chang'an City, the people of that gang have a holiday with the Changle Gang, inquire and tell Ben Hou." ”
If you want to solve this problem, you have to use strange tricks.
