The opening of the port market is actually not that complicated, and the Tang officials represented by the eldest grandson Wuji have not been very eager, so the Daming side will not really open the market so grandly, it will be the same as sticking a hot face to someone else's cold ass.

At this time, Puxi Ruo saw that Li Chengqian was also here, and the arrogance of the eldest grandson Wuji and others was also subdued, and he immediately began to work on the opening of the port.

In general, except for some necessary processes, the opening of the port did not take too long.

After all the processes were completed, Puxi smiled and said, "Qi Guogong, the port is open today, why don't you give the big guy a few words?" ”

"That's fine." As he spoke, the eldest grandson Wuji walked over, looked at the many businessmen gathered outside the city, and said with a smile, "Today is a good day, so the official will be verbose."

Those who can come here must have enjoyed dividends on this Tang Ming business road in the past two years.

You don't have to hide this, you are talking about business, if you don't make money, what kind of business do you still have?

So, I sincerely hope that everyone can make money and make more money, but I just hope that after everyone makes money, don't forget their roots.

Of course, while making money, this official also wants to warn you that you must follow the laws of the Tang and Ming dynasties, and do not violate the laws of the country for the sake of petty profits......"

The eldest grandson Wuji talked for a long time, and some of them didn't talk a lot, but in fact, there were only a few words that were really useful.

At that moment, when those businessmen heard this, they secretly shook their heads and said, "I'm afraid that the days after this will be sad." ”

"Who's to say it isn't?" A businessman immediately said helplessly, "These two countries have begun to fight, and it is not us businessmen who are suffering?" If you want me to say, if this business is done, this business road will not come! ”

"yes." Someone else chimed in, "Although the goods of the Ming Dynasty can make money, they must be transported back to Datang to make money after all, but Datang ......"

At this, everyone shook their heads.

Isn't Datang in the hands of the eldest grandson Wuji?

And the laws of the Tang Dynasty are not up to them?

At this point, everyone shook their heads, quite helpless.

Eldest Sun Wuji's words are the real despair for them.

Li Chengqian saw this scene and smiled, he guessed that the eldest grandson Wuji would not honestly play any commercial competition, how could people in politics make use of their strengths and avoid weaknesses, the biggest weapon in their hands is power!

Do you really think they're going to play some fair competition with you?

"How can Qi Guogong be so shameless?" Behind him, Yu Chi Baolin, who also understood the routine of the eldest grandson Wuji, was a little indignant, "Such a blatant threat to those businessmen, he is not afraid that these businessmen will unite?" ”

After he said this, the eldest grandson Chong was a little red-faced, although he didn't look down on his own Aye's approach, but no matter how he said it, it was two fathers and sons, and he also felt ashamed for the eldest grandson Wuji.

What is the matter with commercial competition and the use of power to force each other?

Losing is not open.

Li Chengqian didn't think so, smiled, and said: "It's not shameless, and besides, how can it be said that people are shameless when they manage the people under their own rule on their own land?" ”

Saying that, Li Chengqian looked at Changsun Chong and said with a smile, "Okay, you don't have to put on such a face, the reason why this king brought you here today is to let you also see what it means to be an official."

Although you have been in the company for a few years, you are still far from the real pillars. ”

"Be taught." When the eldest grandson heard this, he immediately bowed down and saluted.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian didn't say anything more, but looked over there with interest.

At this time, Pu Xiruo also smiled and said: "What Qi Guogong said is very true, the trade between the two countries is a good thing that is beneficial to the people of the two countries, and only by communicating with each other can we promote economic development and improve the quality of life of the people." ”

For the sinister intentions of the eldest grandson Wuji, Pu Xiruo naturally knows it, but as Li Chengqian said, this is no way, others are in their own land, governing their own people, they really can't interfere, but Puxi Ruo is not too careful.

Although the eldest grandson Wuji said cruel words in front of everyone, he forgot that it is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits!

The more ruthless the blockage, the greater the benefits, when the interests reach a certain level, let alone being punished, even if it is at the risk of killing the head, there are still a lot of people who will take risks.

At the beginning, he and Li Qinjian did not discuss what the eldest grandson Wuji would do, and Li Qinjian carefully analyzed this matter as a former businessman.

Throughout the dynasties, few businessmen who really made a fortune were clean.

So when it comes to the threat of the eldest grandson Wuji, he really doesn't take it seriously.

Even he wished that the eldest grandson Wuji would do this, and at that time, the contradictions between the Tang merchants and the imperial court would be increased, and the Ming Dynasty would be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"Well, it's useless to say a lot of things, since it's the opening of the port, of course you have to talk about the goods." Puxi smiled and said, "Qi Guogong, how about we unveil this plaque together?" ”

When the eldest grandson Wuji heard this, he smiled and said, "That's exactly what I mean." ”

With that, the two walked under the east gate, stood on both sides, pulled the two red silks hanging from top to bottom at the door, glanced at each other, and pulled hard at the same time.

I saw that the plaque on the door was engraved with the four big characters of 'treaty port'.

At the same time, Li Qinjian also ordered someone to uncover the red silk on the pillars on both sides of the east gate, and in an instant, a couplet came into everyone's eyes.

Shanglian Road: The goods have a good reputation, and thousands of families are worthy of profiting in the market.

Xialiandao: There are many stores and hundreds of households often benefit the people from a micro place.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today I Tang and Ming jointly built the treaty port officially opened, for which I will launch more than a dozen new things including glass, fertilizers and other new things on the market, here, the old man also hopes that you can find your own satisfactory goods, but also wish everyone can prosper in business, financial resources."

After saying that, Puxiru arched his hand towards everyone, and then he took a deep breath, dragged the tail note, and said loudly: "The market is open......"

With his sound, the gongs and drums that had been prepared for a long time suddenly sounded.

For a time, there was a noise of gongs and drums outside the entire east gate.

With the official opening of the port, the merchants who had been impatient for a long time went straight to the West Market.

There's no way, the glass and the fresh things are all in the West Market, and even if they don't buy them, they want to see them. (I made a mistake earlier, the glass and fertilizer were placed in the West Market, the same principle as the supermarket in later generations, I may have been kicked in the brain by a donkey at the time, and it was written as the East Market.) ）

Seeing a group of businessmen rushing in, Pu Xiruo instructed Li Qinjian to arrange for someone to follow, and then walked towards Li Chengqian.

And the eldest grandson Wuji also came over with someone at this time.

"Foreign Minister Sun Wuji, see the two highnesses."

The rest of the people also gave salutes in unison.

"No courtesy." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "Today, you can come to my Ming Dynasty in person for the affairs of the port, it is really the blessing of my Ming Dynasty.

Although the king is passing by today, he should also feast the ministers of the Tang Dynasty, so as not to make people think that I have no hospitality. ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, Wechen has already ordered the Changming Restaurant in the port to prepare a banquet, and His Highness can leave at any time." Puxiru still didn't have anything to say, so he prepared the banquet early.

Li Chengqian nodded when he heard this, and said, "Then let's go together, it just so happens that while we are eating, we are waiting for what kind of answer sheet can be handed over at the port today." ”

After that, Li Chengqian led Changle to the front.

The eldest grandson Wuji and the others also hurriedly followed.

When everyone entered through the east gate again, they saw that the shops on both sides of the street were deserted.

The whole street, except for the patrolling soldiers, was too depressed to say.

Li Chengqian didn't care about this.

Nowadays, those businessmen are afraid that they will all go to the West Gate to see the excitement, which is normal.

And the eldest grandson Wuji and others were quite satisfied when they saw this scene.

Their idea is simple, it is okay to see, but it can only be to see.

After walking for a long time, everyone came to the Changming Restaurant, which was at the crossroads of the port.

Nowadays, Changming Restaurant is developing extremely rapidly, not to mention Daming, even Datang, up and down in the past two years, dozens of branches have been opened.

"See Your Highness." As soon as the shopkeeper of the restaurant saw Li Chengqian, he immediately greeted him, Li Chengqian just nodded slightly, and the shopkeeper immediately took everyone to a box on the second floor facing the street.

"Let's serve." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "Well, today's banquet for the ministers of the Tang Dynasty, don't embarrass the king." ”

The shopkeeper smiled when he heard this: "Your Highness, rest assured, my Changming Restaurant has never made a mistake in this regard." ”

With that, the shopkeeper bowed down and retired.

"That's right." After the eldest grandson Wuji saw the shopkeeper retreating, he also smiled and said, "Who doesn't know that the food in Changming Restaurant is its own today?" Even in Datang, the Changming Restaurant is also a unique existence. ”

Li Chengqian smiled and said nothing, on a formal occasion, there must be formal rules.

And Changle didn't pay so much attention to it, and immediately smiled: "Uncle is right, but if you really want to say the most delicious, it has to be the food in Daming Palace." ”

Changle is really sensible, since he came, he has been quietly staying by Li Chengqian's side, that is, after arriving at the restaurant, he heard the eldest grandson Wuji say this, and only then did he take a mouthful.

Of course, this is also the reason why Li Chengqian brought her here.

He doesn't want to make the relationship with the eldest grandson Wuji too stiff for the time being, and it would be much better if there was a gag from Changle.

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is getting more and more beautiful." Seeing this, the eldest grandson Wuji immediately smiled.

"That's it." Hearing the eldest grandson Wuji say this, Changle was even happier and said with a smile, "The eldest brother said that I am the most beautiful in the Ming Dynasty!" ”

After staying away from the Chang'an Palace, although Changle lost a lot, but at the same time gained a lot, now she is really like a child in later generations, carefree, especially after the Ming Dynasty annexed the entire Tuyuhun and officially gained a foothold in the northwest, she was obviously a lot happier.

As before, she would never have said that.

It can only be said that following Li Chengqian to this bitter cold place in the northwest is a blessing or a curse for her, and it is really difficult to say.

The eldest grandson Wuji was also stunned, the change in Changle surprised him a little, and said in his heart, did this Li Chengqian abolish Changle?

Li Chengqian didn't care, touched Changle's little head dotingly, and said with a smile: "This little guy is spoiled by this king, don't mind." ”

"The eldest princess is still a child after all, so she naturally has to be naïve." The Tang officials represented by the eldest grandson Wuji immediately laughed.

said so, but the eldest grandson Wuji and Chu Suiliang all felt that Li Chengqian had abolished Changle.

The dignified princess, how can she be so ignorant of the rules?

In Datang, Mo said that she was a princess, that is, the woman in their house, who was not well-behaved?

Let's not talk about her sitting next to Li Chengqian, but when this adult speaks, how can a little girl easily interject? It's not big, it's not small, it's like a wild girl.

Li Chengqian saw their reactions, and knew that his expectation of Changle gags to liven up the atmosphere was counterproductive, but he didn't mind.

He just doesn't want to make the relationship with the eldest grandson Wuji too stiff for the time being, but it doesn't mean that he is afraid of making the relationship too stiff with the eldest grandson Wuji.

However, the atmosphere at the wine table became awkward.

It wasn't until the guy started serving the food that the atmosphere eased a little bit.

"Your Highness, the port is open today, in the eyes of Your Highness, what kind of answer can you hand over today?" After being full of wine and food, the eldest grandson Wuji asked.

After Li Chengqian poured a glass of juice for Changle, he smiled and said, "Why, isn't Qi Guogong optimistic about this trade port?" ”

Hehe......

The eldest grandson Wuji sneered in his heart, isn't the old man optimistic?

"Of course not." Although he thought so in his heart, he said, "It's just that the old man is more curious about how much today's transaction volume can be?"

After all, if there is no satisfactory answer to the trade port built by our two countries, it will not sound good, and it will even affect other ports in your country, and even affect the confidence of all countries in the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Is it really a combination of two countries?" Li Chengqian didn't answer and asked, "How did this king hear that from the construction of this trade port to the present, Datang has not even invested a penny?"

Now, all the shops in the port are operated by my Ming merchants, and all the land is also my Ming territory, including the Changming Restaurant where you are now, that is my Ming industry, this king wants to ask, this is the power of the two countries in the mouth of the Duke of Qi?

Isn't it true that Datang still wants to swallow half of the industry in this port on the basis of a dime?

If that's the case, according to the words of the Duke of Qi, then when the Ming Dynasty destroyed Xue Yantuo, can this king also think that it was the result of the gathering of the strength of the two countries? ”

"How can Your Highness understand this?" The eldest grandson Wuji said angrily, "Could it be that if the Ming Dynasty annexed Tuyuhun and captured the Western Turks, my Tang Dynasty could also reap the benefits?" ”

"Presumptuous!" As soon as the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, the eldest grandson Chong, who was sitting opposite, immediately shouted angrily, "Duke Qi Guogong is planning to make my Ming royal court fail!"

Or is Qi Guogong representing the Tang Dynasty to have a bad relationship with my Daming? ”

I......

The eldest grandson Wuji saw the eldest grandson rushing to shoot the case, and immediately almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood.

Son!

This son of a scumbag!

Holding back the anger in his heart, the eldest grandson Wuji said: "Bastard words! This official is just worried about whether today's port can achieve the expected goal, how can there be so many ways you say. ”

He found out that Li Chengqian did it on purpose, and at the moment, he had no choice but to pull the topic back.

And Li Chengqian saw the eldest grandson rushing to get up, and immediately nodded to him imperceptibly.

After the eldest grandson Chong understood, he sneered: "Then how about this official make a bet with Qi Guogong?" ”

"What bet?" The eldest grandson Wuji was a little stunned.

Where is this singing?

"Just bet on whether today's port can hand over a satisfactory answer." The eldest grandson rushed.

As soon as he heard his words, the eldest grandson Wuji looked at Li Chengqian in surprise, and said in his heart, you are really ruthless!

"Gambling or not betting!" Eldest Sun Chong didn't care about that much, and asked.

"What about betting!" The eldest grandson Wuji gritted his teeth and said, but his eyes always looked at Li Chengqian unconsciously, but he really hated it in his heart.

Li Chengqian was so ruthless, everything was originally under his control, but now how could it become a fight between their father and son?
