Hu County.
Magistrate Wang led a group of merchants to stand quietly at the gate of the city.
Chat a few words from time to time...
All topics cannot avoid Wei Shuyu.
The merchants were the most well-informed. They had already known about the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce and were already conferring officials.
"Manager Luo, does Mr. Wei have any plans for you?"
A large group of merchants gathered around Luo Dan.
They were very curious as to whether Luo Dan, as Wei Shuyu's spokesperson, would find an official position.
"Thanks to Lord Wei's great kindness, I will reward you with a bite of rice."
"It's too late for me to be grateful, how dare I ask for anything else."
Luo Dan cupped his hands in the direction of Chang'an.
After several months of training, he is no longer what he used to be.
When asked by merchants, the answers were just right.
"Don't mind, Manager Luo."
The merchant said with a smile: "Isn't it because everyone is used to dealing with you, and they are afraid that someone else will not get used to it."
"I don't know whether to promote or not."
Luo Dan still replied seriously: "But Mr. Wei will never treat his own people badly..."
While chatting, a voice suddenly sounded in my ears.
"coming!"
Uh-huh.
Everyone looked into the distance.
I saw a huge group of people walking in the distance.
There are more than twenty carriages alone.
This time, not only officials from the Ministry of Commerce came.
There are also people from the Ministry of Industry.
When the Ministry of Commerce was established, it was natural to build an office location.
"Walk!"
Magistrate Wang straightened his robes and immediately went to greet him.
"Wang Gui and a group of merchants from Hu County met Wei Langzhong."
With Magistrate Wang taking the lead, everyone clasped their fists and saluted.
Wei Shuyu got off the carriage.
Many businessmen have never seen Wei Shuyu.
When I saw that Wei Shuyu was really a child, I couldn't help but be shocked.
it's him……
With his own strength, he defeated the officials in the court.
The mercantilist bill was passed!
"Everyone is polite."
Wei Shuyu also returned the gift: "I hope you will work together to build Huxian County well..."
"For the benefit of the people of the Tang Dynasty."
"Justify the reputation of merchants all over the world."
"Building a bright future for future generations."
"While seeking glory and wealth, I also want to create a history without regrets for myself!"
Everyone nodded seriously.
Wei Shuyu is the leader!
If the leader says shit smells good, then it does!
"Thank you, Doctor Wei, for your advice."
Everyone returned the favor again.
"Let's go to the city first..."
Wei Shuyu felt quite awkward when Magistrate Wang came out like this.
But there is no way...
This is the ethos of officialdom.
Wei Shuyu spoke.
Everyone entered Hu County in an orderly manner.
In Hu County.
Magistrate Wang has already arranged for dinner and dinner.
"Everyone, I would like to thank you all for coming to greet us."
Wei Shuyu raised his glass and began to speak...
"And me……"
"He is a straight-tempered person, and he is not good at speaking in convoluted words."
"I also don't like this kind of ostentation and extravagance."
"If you are interested."
"Earn more money and pay more taxes."
"This is the best reward for Datang, His Majesty, and me."
"But since I'm sitting together with everyone this time."
"Let's talk about some things..."
"I can let go of some of the dirty things that happened in Huxian County in the past."
“I just hope that everyone can work together to build Huxian County well!”
"The development of the Ministry of Commerce will never stop at Hu County."
"Anyone who obstructs the development of commerce will be severely punished without credit!"
All the merchants were trembling with fear.
As soon as Wei Shuyu said this, he was immediately recognized by all the officials.
"I second the proposal. If anyone obstructs the mercantile government, I will be the first to not spare him!"
"Yes, this is related to the world and the country. I agree with Dr. Wei's statement."
"I also agree. I hope you will abide by the law and earn every penny you earn."
Wei Shuyu nodded.
At least on the surface, this group of officials is pretty good.
Next, Wei Shuyu encouraged everyone again.
After feeding some more Chicken Soup for the Soul, we started dinner directly.
"Big pot, this meal is delicious."
In the private room.
Cui Shenji and Fang Yiai were extremely happy.
Anyone who talks about "my official" and "my official" when meeting people can be said to be showing off his official airs.
Snap.
Wei Shuyu raised his hand and looked like a fool...
"Once you step into the officialdom, you can't do whatever you did before."
"Official life is extremely dangerous."
"If you're not careful, you may end up being shattered to pieces, and your family members may even be implicated."
"Don't think your dad is awesome."
"It really makes people anxious..."
"They secretly assassinated you, and then there will be no place to cry if you want."
oh.
Save your life.
In this regard, both people are self-taught.
"We are so cocky."
The two guys nodded repeatedly.
"Master Wei."
At this moment, Luo Dan walked into the private room.
"What's the matter?"
Wei Shuyu replied casually.
"There is news about the matter that you asked me to pay attention to before." Luo Dan replied respectfully.
What happened before?
Wei Shuyu suddenly thought of it.
Military rations!
At first, Li Shimin asked Wei Shuyu to investigate the mysterious disappearance of military rations in Yuchigong's camp.
It was settled because of the earthquake.
Despite this, Wei Shuyu did not give up this aspect of the investigation!
"Tell me..." Wei Shuyu took a bite of vegetables.
"Master Wei, this is the record of grain purchased by merchants in the past half month."
Luo Dan handed over an account book: "The grain purchased by merchants recently has increased several times compared with previous years."
Wei Shuyu flipped through it casually.
The records are quite detailed.
"How are you sure about these food issues?"
Wei Shuyu put down his account book and asked with a smile: "Just after the autumn harvest, isn't it normal for people to sell excess grain in large quantities?"
"Master Wei, this is actually easy to distinguish."
Luo Dan didn't think much and blurted out: "The harvest in autumn is all new grain, while the batch purchased by merchants is all old grain."
"I have inquired with the grain merchants around Chang'an, and they have not sold old grain recently..."
"So there is only the one you mentioned, Mr. Wei."
Wei Shuyu nodded.
The imperial court would store new grain every year and consume the old grain first.
"What if it was shipped from other places?" Wei Shuyu asked with a smile.
"Master Wei..."
Luo Dan showed a bitter look on his face: "You underestimate the merchants, don't you?"
"Don't talk about transporting so much food."
"In the eyes of merchants, as long as you are pulling goods."
"They will be able to find out exactly what you are doing."
Wei Shuyu raised his eyebrows.
Throughout history, information has always been the most important.
The same goes for merchants.
Find out what supplies you are transporting, and they will bring a little more with them the next time they go to business.
If it sells well, it will slowly increase.
"good."
Wei Shuyu nodded and praised.
Suddenly the voice changed: "Then have you found out where all this old grain comes from?"
Hear the words.
Luo Dan's expression also became serious.
After he closed the door, he whispered to Wei Shuyu...
"Master Wei, this batch of food comes from the Yin family."
