Vision City.
"Prefect Han Xiezi is actually a businessman. He is quite reputable in business. We merchants have all dealt with him."
Liang Qisheng took a deep breath of smoke.
He is a hidden guard disguised as a businessman, but after so many years of work, his identity as a businessman has become his job.
"A businessman is good, as long as he is not a so-called loyal minister who is stubborn."
Mi Qi likes to deal with businessmen. This time she came to Vision City just to touch Han Xiezi's bottom.
Yuanjing City and Longquan City, one on the left and one on the right, are the gates of Yilong City.
In fact, as long as one is taken, Yilong City is basically on the lips, it just depends on when to eat it.
War is an ever-changing thing with many unpredictable factors. Therefore, before every use of troops, one must be cautious and not take excessive risks.
Zhang Tianyi and Yun Ying led two teams out of Loushanguan respectively. They were deployed near Yuanjing City, supporting and cooperating with Mi Qi when necessary to deal with unexpected needs.
"We entered Vision City, handed over the goods first, and then went to our store."
Liang Qisheng said.
Arriving at the gate of the city, Mi Qi looked at the endless crowd and was slightly shocked.
"Is this place so lax? The city gate is wide open, aren't you afraid that the enemy will take the opportunity to sneak in!"
Mickey said.
"It was closed for a few days a while ago. Now it's open again. Since he dares to open it, he's not afraid of enemies sneaking in." Liang Qisheng smiled slightly.
Mi Qi also had a preliminary understanding of Han Xiezi.
This person seems to be completely ruined.
As for why he wanted to mess it up... it still depends on the follow-up investigation.
Liang Qisheng took out the entry and exit certificate and paid some city entry fees. The entire convoy entered the city easily without being carefully inspected.
"Where are you going to hand over the goods?" Miqi touched the secret compartment of the carriage a few times, took out a blunderbuss and a short sword, and hung them on his body.
The gun and dagger were wrapped in cloth and camouflaged. They looked like ordinary pendants. As long as they were not inspected closely, they could not be seen clearly from a distance.
But Mickey didn't think anyone would come and check...
When entering the city gate, none of the soldiers came to check, and even less so after entering the city.
"Go to Yuanqing Village." Liang Qisheng took a puff of smoke. He was quite addicted to cigarettes and smoked many cigarettes along the way.
"This name is quite festive." The corners of Mickey's lips rose.
"Of course, it's necessary to get good luck in our line of work. Not to mention the name of this firm, even many daily affairs are based on an auspicious day."
"Those who are in business, no matter whether you believe it or not, you must follow it."
"Not to mention, some things are very evil. It is said that many of those colleagues who have no taboos have many inexplicable family ruins and deaths. Maybe they have bad feng shui, or they have violated some evil spirits. I would rather not believe them."
Liang Qisheng smiled.
"Yes, it's good to get some luck."
Mickey nodded.
She could see that Liang Qisheng was really particular about this.
Although Liang Qisheng is her subordinate and is also a hidden guard, she respects her subordinates' external profession, which is also respect for people.
"The location of Yuanqingzhuang is in a prime location. This place is quite prosperous."
Sitting on the carriage and looking at the scenery along the way, Mickey had to admit that this Vision City was worthy of being a commercial city. The commercial atmosphere here was very strong. There were shops everywhere along the road, including various clothing stores, restaurants, jewelry stores, and groceries. There are almost all kinds of shops, and there is even a special bookstore, and there is more than one.
"After Yuanqingzhuang took the groceries we transported, many of them were distributed to other stores. They only sell high-quality products and do not sell ordinary items directly to the outside world," Liang Qisheng said.
"It seems that Han Xiezi plays a very measured role in business. He knows how to share profits and make endless money. It's too resentful to live alone. It's better to leave some ordinary goods to others to manage, so that others can Small merchants can also make a living, but Yuan Qingzhuang still gets the bulk of the profits."
Mickey said.
"Little sister, have you also gone through business?"
Liang Qisheng was slightly surprised.
He never thought that Mickey had such a deep understanding of business.
"I did it for a while, but then I realized that I didn't really like doing business, so I gave up."
Mi Qi had two paths to take, both of which were arranged for her by Yang Ruoqing.
One path is mainly about business, and the other is mainly about martial arts. She tried both paths, and then found that she still preferred martial arts, and the path of martial arts was the hidden guard.
"Doing business is still very interesting. If you want to make money, you have to do business. Even in our dynasty, businessmen have never been able to catch the eyes of scholars. It is more difficult for the descendants of businessmen to make a difference in the imperial examination than others." Liang Qisheng sighed.
"This is not a problem of our dynasty, but it has been like this for thousands of years. Officials are wary of merchants. This is still Daqi. If in the previous dynasty and the southern dynasty, the descendants of merchants were not allowed to take the imperial examination... Our dynasty At least there is no such requirement on the surface, as long as you have the ability, you can take the exam."
Mickey said calmly.
Discrimination against the sons of merchants is generally invisible. For example, after being admitted to the Jinshi, the official positions awarded in the court selection will definitely be skewed, and those important ministers in the three provinces and six ministries will basically not have descendants of merchants.
"Yes, our court has been good enough to businessmen. We have to praise this. I am satisfied."
Liang Qisheng smiled.
What he said was the truth, but not every businessman understood it that way, especially after those businessmen saw the status of merchants in the western Yajili Kingdom, their dissatisfaction with the imperial court grew day by day.
"Take your time. Some concepts have been formed by many generations. Changing them is not something that can be done in a day. Today's emperor is determined to change, but it still takes time." Mickey said.
"I believe there will be changes sooner or later. We are making more and more progress." Liang Qisheng said.
In fact, Mickey had another point of view in mind.
That is, the imperial court's restrictions on merchants were not necessarily wrong.
If there are no restrictions, businessmen will be extremely greedy. As long as they have enough chips, they will even sell the rope to hang themselves. Few of them have a sense of social responsibility, and everything is based on profit.
The carriage gradually approached, and Mi Qi soon saw Yuan Qingzhuang.
Yuanqingzhuang is indeed extraordinary. Judging from the appearance, it is majestic and upscale.
But it is not vulgar, but appears to be cultural.
There are two large stone lions placed at the door. The door is bright and bright. There are not many people coming and going, but judging from their clothes, they are all rich people in the city.
Liang Qisheng was taken to the backyard by a steward of Yuanqing Village, where many carriages were already parked.
"Old Liang, what good stuff have you brought this time?" the steward said with a smile on his face.
