The prefect's brain is still turning relatively fast, but the other people's brains are not so fast, and they haven't figured out what's going on yet? How did it become an insult to the Tang Empire? No one dared to bear this charge, and Tiragon's face was already blue.

"Isn't it too much for this lord to say this, it's just the personal behavior of some petty officials, and it doesn't represent the court of my country, and this is just a matter of a few businessmen, how can it affect the face of the Tang Dynasty?"

The prefect said disdainfully, they learn the culture of the Tang Dynasty here, and naturally they also understand what is called Shinong Industry and Commerce, even in the Tang Dynasty, the status of businessmen is not very high, although there have been some improvements over the years, but can it be improved to the sky?

"I don't dare to agree with the words of the prefect, my country's businessmen have worked tirelessly to transport a large number of goods to your country, brought a way to improve the living standards of the people of your country, and paid a lot of taxes to our court, which is also an important source of finance and taxation for our court, if it is not for their efforts, even our army can't even eat, shouldn't we safeguard their interests?"

After Li Xiang's words, the businessmen present were full of affection, they have always paid the most taxes in the society, but at the same time they do not have the same social status, so they also feel aggrieved in their hearts.

Now that I heard what Lord Huang said, everyone was iron-hearted, and they would definitely defend Lord Huang.

It was the first time that the prefect of Wacheng had heard of such a thing, he had never heard of it before, they were educated that merchants were extremely treacherous, and in a country that valued agriculture, the status of merchants was not high, but there was no way to refute the words of this Lord Huang.

"Even if Lord Huang is right, after all, this is the boundary of my tile city, and it is still Lord Ben who has the final say on what to do with these people under him."

Although the Tang Dynasty is strong, we are also an independent country, although we often go to the Tang Dynasty to pay tribute, but we have never said that we are a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty, so there are some things that do not need to put our posture too low.

"Since this is the case, we really can't interfere in your affairs, but we can manage ourselves, if the adults don't give us an explanation for a day, then all of us Datang merchants will never enter Wacheng from today on."

Li Xiang straightened his body, there is no need for military threats at all now, a single commercial threat can kill you According to Li Xiang's previous investigation, at least one-third of Wacheng's tax revenue is provided by Tang merchants.

This prefect is also very concerned about the tax situation at ordinary times, after all, it is related to his money bag, so he is also a little nervous when he hears Li Xiang's words, but he is not too nervous, because businessmen are chasing profits, and the reason why these people come to Wacheng to do business is also because they can provide them with enough benefits here, is it because of your words that these Tang businessmen will not come?

"Lord Huang's mouth is really big, but not all the merchants may listen to you, their goods have already been transported here, if you don't come to trade in my tile city, I'm afraid there are no other goods trading places around here."

The prefect touched his beard and said, many businessmen below don't dare to express their stance at the moment, after all, what Li Xiang said is a bit too big, if they really don't come here to trade, how will they live in the future?

However, among these merchants, there are also many far-sighted people, if they dispose of Tiragon this time, then they will definitely be able to do business here in the future, and there will definitely be no second person who dares to stand up and collect taxes casually.

"In Xia Cao Lian, obey Lord Huang's orders, as long as Lord Huang says a word, all the goods in Xia are willing to be discarded in the river outside the city, so as to maintain the dignity of the Tang Dynasty court and our Tang merchants."

When the first businessman stood up, Li Xiang nodded beside him, this person is a courageous person, just because you stood up, you should be given a chance.

Cao Lian has a very high status among the caravan merchants, and he is also a relatively large businessman in the vicinity, and after seeing his eyes, several other small merchants immediately stood up.

Then other people also saw that today is not a trivial matter, if we fall behind in this matter, no one will look down on you in the future, Lord Huang is not because he is fighting for a while, but for us businessmen to fight for a reasonable position, otherwise, in the future, someone will increase your taxes at will, and your losses will be greater than today.

"We all support the ...... of Lord Huang"

Some people have already begun to dispose of the goods on horseback, and they have not been here for a day or two, although the local officials have not said it explicitly, but the frequent increase in the number of things to do with them is nothing more than to see that they have made too much profit, and pink eye must be cured.

The prefect's face finally changed, and there were some businessmen who were good at observing words and feelings, after seeing the prefect's face change, they all stood up, and dozens of Tang businessmen were screaming here, putting a lot of pressure on them.

The prefect's face finally changed, and there were some businessmen who were good at observing words and feelings, after seeing the prefect's face change, they all stood up, and dozens of Tang businessmen were screaming here, putting a lot of pressure on them.

Don't look at the prefect just now is very tough, once these people don't come to Wacheng, there are also several trading places around, they can transport goods there, without these Tang merchants, the prosperity of Wacheng will drop by at least more than one-third.

"What does the prefect think?"

Li Xiang took out his folding fan at this moment, and then stared at the prefect with two eyes, and the adults brought him great pressure.

"After this official goes back, he will definitely bingming Lord Changsun, today's matter is related to the glory of my Tang Dynasty, if there is no reasonable result, Lord Changsun will definitely send troops to be held accountable."

The eldest grandson that Li Xiang was talking about at this moment was naturally the eldest grandson Ze next to him, and the eldest grandson Ze tried hard to hold back his laughter.

The prefect who is in the border area has of course met with Changsun Ze, that kid wants to find trouble at every turn, if there is this excuse, think about those terrible Tang Dynasty iron horses......

The prefect gave his cousin a vicious look at him at this moment, and Tiragon was familiar with this look......
