Li Xiang briefly told this guy that he was going to make him the first official stationed in Wacheng, and he had already sent someone back to get the official seal.

For these businessmen, what they have pursued all their lives is the identity of an official, and to be more precise, that is, the identity of a showman, which is always much stronger than their original businessman.

Take Cao Lian as an example, he knew that he couldn't study in his life, so he honestly came out to do business, earned a lot of silver taels for the family, and then sent the money back, so that the people in the family who could study could study hard.

Now the most able to read is his youngest son, so he is also very energetic when he works outside, as long as his youngest son can be admitted to a lifting person, then he doesn't have to kneel now, who dares to look down on him as a businessman, and then buy some land, and the family will prosper.

didn't expect that there was no need to wait for his youngest son to study hard for more than ten years, and now Li Xiang was able to let him become an official directly, and he was also a seventh-grade official.

"What's the matter with you? Didn't you hear His Highness's question? ”

Changsun Ze knocked on the table, this guy has been with his mouth open for a long time, and there is still something clean in his mouth, which is really disgusting.

"Thank you, Your Highness, thank you, Your Highness......"

After hearing Changsun Ze's reminder, this guy pounced and knelt down for Li Xiang, he really didn't know what to say, this simply changed the fate of the whole family for dozens of generations, and originally thought that he could only change it after his son participated in the imperial examination, but now he is suddenly a seven-rank official, and he is still hanging in the name of the Li Fan Yuan, which is not known how many times higher than those magistrates.

"Don't be busy kowtowing first, I can give you this official and I can also take it for you, you are not living the life of a big lord here, not to mention that you are still in the territory of Wacheng, many people here are not friendly to my Datang, after you become this official, in addition to safeguarding the interests of Datang businessmen, you must also find out all the situations around me, you remember that what I said is all the circumstances."

Li Xiang asked this guy to help him up, and found a rag for him, this guy cried tears and snot everywhere, of course, Li Xiang couldn't understand his feelings, if he found another businessman, put them in a cage, whoever won the battle could be this seven-rank official, then it is estimated that the two people would not hesitate to kill directly.

The social status of scholars in this era is very high, but if you can be a lifter, then the fate of your whole family can be improved, this guy in front of him originally thought that he would have such treatment after ten years, but he didn't expect that the thing he was looking forward to for ten years would come true today, how can he not lose his temper?

"Your Highness wants to occupy this place?"

Cao Lian has traveled south and north over the years, and he is also a very knowledgeable person, after listening to Li Xiang's words, he immediately figured out what Li Xiang wanted to do, not just for the news here, but for the land here.

What's more, Li Xiang's reputation is outside, he will definitely not do useless work, whenever Li Xiang goes to a new place, he will immediately have new plans.

When Li Xiang went to Nanzhao to marry his relatives, he destroyed Nanzhao with his backhand, and their businessmen in this period understood this.

Although many people also know that Li Xiang is not righteous, but now these merchants want to set up a memorial arch for Li Xiang, because Li Xiang captured the Nanzhao Kingdom, their goods can go directly from Chang'an City to Wacheng, and they don't need to pay too much tax in the middle, which really makes them all rich.

"Your kid's vision is indeed okay, since our Tang Dynasty is rich in the four seas, why can't we have the four seas? You've seen the situation here, you're a foreigner here, so why don't you become a local? Don't you want to enjoy the same rights and interests here that you enjoy in Nanzhao? ”

Li Xiang knew that many people in this era wanted to live a peaceful life, and they had no intention of expanding abroad, the most important thing was that they felt that the surrounding land was relatively rotten, and it was not as good as the land in my Tang Dynasty, so why did they come to this place to toss around?

"What His Royal Highness said is really right, it turns out that when Nanzhao Kingdom does not belong to us, although no one is looking for us in Nanzhao Kingdom, but there are too many kinds of customs clearance Wendie, which delays us a lot of time, not to mention, the most important thing is that this heart is not steady, but if there are Tang troops everywhere, then we businessmen will be much more down-to-earth."

This guy does see some long-term things than others, and he won't say it, but from himself, he can indeed see the benefits of the Tang occupation area.

"Then you explain the business in your hand, since you are an official of the court in the future, then the business matter must be separated from you, if you let me know that your officials and businessmen collude, then don't blame me for being unkind to you."

Li Xiang knows the disadvantages of collusion between officials and businessmen, of course, there are some things that only allow state officials to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps.

But it doesn't mean that Li Xiang also allows others to do this, he can control himself, so that he will not squeeze other businessmen and people because of too big profits, but if other officials and businessmen are allowed, then those people will easily lose themselves in front of interests, and then it will be a big mistake for the country's economy.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, you have been a small family property all these years, and now you are all seven-grade officials, how can you do business? Isn't this a shame for the official? ”

This guy has just become an official, and he is about to break off his identity as a businessman, completely forgetting how he has earned this family property over the years, but this is fine, as long as he does not engage in official business, and patiently does things for Li Xiang, his future future will definitely not be bad.

The two talked about some other things, and each went back to rest, and at noon on the third day, dozens of Tang troops rode war horses to Wacheng.

Although the border between the two sides is blocked, there are often people who come to work, so the border area will not stop these dozens of Tang cavalry.

What they brought was the official documents of the Tang Dynasty official mansion and Cao Lian's official uniform.

The other is Changsun Ze's handwritten letter, of course, Changsun Ze wrote it on the spot, just stamp it with the official seal, this kind of thing is not the first time to do it anyway, and it was also done once when Nanzhao fooled the king of Zhennan.
