Although it was written in the newspaper that these shops only officially opened today, people were afraid that they would be late and not be able to grab what they wanted, so they came one by one very early and lined up!
It is worth mentioning that under Li Zexuan's promotion, the opening time of Nanshi Square in Lantian County is nearly an hour and a half earlier than the opening time of East and West City in Chang'an City!
Li Zexuan's next plan is to completely abolish the system that requires the market to be closed every day. Having traveled from modern times, he understands very well that if the market wants to develop healthily, it must be given the greatest freedom.
The main purpose of establishing the market system in ancient Chinese society was not to facilitate the residents, but for the rulers to demonstrate their national power and to better achieve their purpose of controlling the people.
To a certain extent, the city and city system would hinder social and economic development and bring great inconvenience to people's daily lives. Therefore, in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the city and city system was relaxed, and the two cities could no longer accommodate 's store. As a result, it began to extend to nearby squares and other places, so that Zongrenfang in the northwest of the East City and Yanshoufang in the northeast of the West City were more lively and prosperous than those in the East and West cities.
There was even a night market at the end!
The development of business requires certain conditions, and an open market is one of the important conditions. However, the market is open during the day, closed at sunset, and strict market gate opening and closing, which makes the market lose its freedom. Coupled with the night ban and strict control of the market, many colorful public activities cannot be carried out. Moreover, a strict system of opening and closing the doors was implemented in the workshop. In this way, people lost the right to exchange ideas and have fun together, and their physical and psychological horizons were narrowed.
Since he wants to build Lantian County into a unique business city, Li Zexuan must reform the existing market system. Now, the advance of the market opening time is just a small step for him to reform. !
In Nanshifang, those people who came and queued up in advance were somewhat moved after hearing the store managers praise the convenience of Qianzhuang and Tangyuan!
Especially those who were at the back of the queue. After hearing that they could fight in a separate team by using Tang Yuan to buy things, they immediately pushed the cart full of copper coins and headed straight to Yanhuang Money Store without even thinking about it!
At this time, all the new shops in Lantian County were opened on time, and Zuixian Tower was immediately full. The diners who came to eat included people from Lantian County, as well as those from Chang'an City or other prefectures and counties. The restaurant business in Lantian County that used to be bleak has suddenly become popular thanks to Zuixianlou!
The Qiaojiang Pavilion, Jianbao Pavilion, and Qingya Zhai also started selling goods. The customers who had gone to the bank to exchange Tang Yuan had already finished the exchange and returned.
The stewards kept their word and arranged a special team for these people.
"Shopkeeper, I want two bicycles. Here are five hundred and sixty Tang Yuan, please count them!"
"Okay! Five hundred and sixty Tang Yuan, no more, no less! Zhang San, hurry up and push two bicycles out for this guest officer!"
To everyone's expectation, but also to everyone's surprise, the team buying things with Tang Yuan moved at an unusually fast speed. Seeing that five people here had already bought cars and left, and the "copper coin team" was the first Before the copper coins handed over were counted, many people behind the "copper coin team" immediately panicked!
At first, they generally understood that Tang Yuan would be very convenient to use, but they did not expect that Tang Yuan's settlement speed would be so fast. Compared with copper coins, Tang Yuan's settlement speed was definitely more than twice as fast!
Some people who acted decisively immediately rushed to the bank to exchange for Tang Yuan, while those who were hesitant were still wondering whether they should exchange for Tang Yuan!
With the joint publicity of these newly opened stores and "Datang Daily", the first Yanhuang Bank branch serving ordinary people quickly became very popular! Tang Yuan, this new thing, has also left a very deep impression on many people. It is like planting a seed in their hearts. As time goes by, one day it will take root and sprout!

"Master Hou, I finally no longer have to worry about business issues in the county. With these Chang'an famous stores, people in the eastern counties will generally not go to Chang'an to buy things, but will buy them in Lantian County nearby! Our county Here, it’s finally going to be lively!”
Magistrate He, dressed in regular clothes, was accompanying Li Zexuan to "observe the sentiments of the people" in Nanshifang. When he saw that the square was crowded and lively, the excitement was comparable to that of the east and west cities of Chang'an City. Magistrate He stroked his beard and had a look on his face. He said with satisfaction.
Li Zexuan burst out laughing and said: "Haha! Magistrate He, you have only seen the surface. If you think about it further, if there are more shops in Lantian County and become more prosperous, then more people will be recruited as clerks. Ah, in this way, in addition to relying on the land for food, the people in our county can also help out and earn an extra income during the slack time, right?"
In modern terms, this is called increasing employment!
"What the Marquis said is absolutely true! I admire you!"
Magistrate He sighed, and then asked: "Master Hou, by introducing Qianzhuang and Tang Yuan, do you want people to use Tang Yuan instead of copper coins in the future?"
As a county official, Magistrate He must know Tang Yuan better than ordinary people. He knows that Tang Yuan is convenient, safe and difficult to imitate. He supports Tang Yuan in replacing copper coins from the bottom of his heart.
Li Zexuan frowned and said in a deep voice: "Let's try it in Lantian County first! As for Chang'an City or other prefectures and counties, don't worry about it for now! If the people of Lantian County can finally get used to Tang Yuan, then I will Find a way to promote Tang Yuan to other places!"
Currently, there are roughly two places where Tang Yuan can be used, one is Yanhuang Academy and the other is Lantian County. These two places basically belong to Li Zexuan's private domain. He can do whatever he wants, but it is different in other places. If he rashly promotes Tang Yuan to other places, he might be in trouble again. Being impeached, after all, he does not have the right to issue currency privately!
If Tang Yuan wants to promote it throughout the Tang Dynasty, it must be notified by Li Er, and if Datang Bank wants to open to all states and counties in the Tang Dynasty, it must have the participation of the royal family, otherwise it will be difficult to move forward locally!
Now, Li Zexuan is waiting for Li Er to give Tang Yuan and Yanhuang Bank an upright status!
"Master Marquis, you are worrying too much! This Tang Yuan is so exquisitely made and so convenient to use. I feel that the common people are used to it and will definitely not be able to live without it!"
