Chapter 113 Firms, Chambers of Commerce & Government Clerks

With the arrival of Suiyuan Marquis and Mo Yushi, Xiyuan City gradually became angry, and those ordinary people still couldn't go out, but there were already people walking around on the long street except for the Kyoto City Mansion, if someone looked at it a few more times, maybe they could still recognize it, some of those people were people from Xiyuan and Xiyuan, and some were guys from several local well-known businesses.

In fact, whether you can go out or not, it has no impact on these ordinary people, anyway, there are people who send food and drink every day when they are closed, and they have to think of ways to make money to support their families when they go out, so they are happy to stay in the house, and they can open the window from time to time to take a look at the business owners and the people in the government to see what the hell they are doing, or go back to their yard and talk to the old king next door on the wall, this day is not bad. So, for a while, no one has questioned the fact that "others can go out but I can't".

And at this moment, in the inn south of the county capital, I heard that it was the place where the Xiangqi Mansion had been chartered for a few months, and after more than half a month, a few more people from the business gathered together.

It's just that this one should be true.

However, their faces are not very good now, and they sit in the lobby on the first floor one by one, sitting on both sides with a few side concubines, but none of them make a sound.

Half an hour ago, the people of those businesses also came up with that set of dripping and extremely polite nonsense, but these side concubines and concubines could dismantle the stage when they came up, and they didn't stop until they all shut up.

It is also a rare thing for a group of people with three-inch incorruptible tongues to be demolished by several noble ladies from Kyoto City who can't open their mouths, and what is even more strange is that they are all like this, they shook their fingers and stiffened their faces for a long time, and they still didn't plan to leave.

From time to time, they glanced up at the sky upstairs, and they were not very calm.

They were ready to eat behind closed doors before they came, but it was nice to be able to come in.

Left and right, it is said that the little princess who is still taking a nap finally came out, dressed plainly dressed more plainly, Xu is really just waking up, with a little blush on her face, the girl's charm is at a glance in this person, even if they have been in the Xiyuan realm for many years and have seen many people, they can't help but sigh "The wind and fruits of Kyoto City really raise people", look at the wives and concubines who have just entered the door of the Xiangqi Palace, all of them are not vulgar, all of them are beautiful, and they are like immortals.

"This inn has been chartered by the palace, are you here to find this palace?" Li Xiang rubbed his eyes, lazily was helped downstairs by Chunyu, took the time to take a look at the people in the lobby, and finally landed on the person he didn't know on the other side.

A few shopkeepers glanced at each other, and probably had a number in their hearts, it is still good to be young, it is easy to deal with, look at this behavior, it is probably not difficult to bargain.

Immediately, the shopkeepers of several businesses went up to salute with a smile, and the middle-aged man who took the lead took the lead and said: "Princess Niangniang, we are from the Xiyuan County Chamber of Commerce, and we came here this time to meet the princess Niangniang." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to a few loads of things next to him, thinking that it was a greeting gift.

Li Xiang glanced at it, then turned his head and took a closer look at these few people who claimed to be members of the Chamber of Commerce, and at the end, he turned his head to look at Fucha Wenyin, who was more dignified than her, and was a little puzzled, and asked, "Sister, hasn't there been a wave of people from the Chamber of Commerce before?" ”

Fucha Wenyin stubbornly took this sentence of "sister" who was very rude in front of outsiders, shook her head, and said: "Those people are not from the Chamber of Commerce, they are from the squire's family. ”

"There's a difference?" Li Xiang sat down, not quite understanding, "Isn't the squire just a businessman who does a good job?" Isn't the Chamber of Commerce just a group of people who do business get together? ”

Several people's faces froze.

The difference is that they say that they are people from the Chamber of Commerce, and it is also possible that they are people under the hands of those squires, not people from the squire's family, in other words, they are guys who take money to settle accounts, commonly known as shopkeepers or account offices, and to put it mildly, they are long-term workers hired by local tycoons.

However, who has ever heard that the eldest wife came to the door to give a meeting gift, and then the guy planned to go again?

Now these guys don't dare to take this conversation, and they don't know that the owner has been here before they came! The proprietor didn't say it!

Fortunately, the little princess didn't mean to care, but she didn't quite understand, so she quickly turned over, beckoned the maid to look at the tea, and asked them what they were doing with a smile.

"Don't do anything, don't do anything, just come...... Come to see the princess Niangniang, this epidemic seems to be almost cured, and now I can finally go out, so I dare to come to the door, I have an empty heart but can't come out, and I don't know if the princess is used to living, and the food is not to your liking. ”

"It's okay, there's a lot of work to worry about." Li Xiang glanced out of the door and paused, "It's just that since there has been no notice yet, and no one has notified you, it's better for you not to go out at will." ”

"Yes......" A few people who were preached before they went out didn't want to talk to each other, and responded vaguely.

Then, before the embarrassment came out, someone opened his mouth, "Speaking of our Nishihara, it can be described as-"

"No, since you have come to the door, naturally you will not come to see the palace, if there is anything, you might as well say it directly." After a pause, Li Xiang smiled, "Speaking of which, this time it is also thanks to the Chamber of Commerce, if you hadn't contacted the seller to purchase rations and sell them, I'm afraid that many people in Xiyuan would have starved to death!" ”

Hearing this, several shopkeepers were a little more confident, but one or two of them didn't look quite right, and they all said "it's all right."

In the end, I finally got to the focus of this trip - official documents.

To open a shop, you have to get documents from the government, which is basically changed every three years, however, once there is a new governor of the two prefectures or a feudal king who is divided into fiefdoms and succeeds him, no matter when he got the new documents at the last meeting, he will need a new one at that time. Because this thing needs the seals of the two mansions (the military mansion and the garrison mansion) or the feudal prince's mansion, otherwise it will not be counted, once it is found out, all the goods have to be handed over, not to mention the amount of money earned, plus ten times the compensation to the government.

Before Murong Jin came here, the two prefectures in the capital of Xiyuan County were fictitious, which meant that they didn't have much power to manage things, so this rule didn't work well in Xiyuan, but when Murong Jin came, and the Ministry of Etiquette accompanied him, the rules had to be upheld, and the most obvious thing was that in the past few days, people have been checking this one by one in various shops.

Seeing that they can come out, they can finally open the door to do business, but they come to do this one, at this time, someone finally realizes that they don't have this thing, if they really have to pay for it, they just empty their family is not enough, but they can't find anyone at all! The palace of the Xiangqi Wangfu has not yet been completed, and the side where the prince lives is too close to the "pile of dead people", they can't get close at all, not to mention, they don't have a face, no, seeing that they can really pick up and open the door to entertain guests, they will find this side.
