Li Mingda's smile made Murong Xue roll her eyes. As an old married woman who followed Li Mingda, Murong Xue knew very well what this smile represented.
Some people are going to be unlucky again.
(*^▽^*)
It was not him who was being cheated, so Murong Xue expressed that she was very happy, at least adding something interesting to the boring farming life.
The two immediately got together, murmured for a long time, and then invited Lin Dong, another scheming member, and a few of their own advisers who seemed to be involved in a spy war to make suggestions.
a few days later
At the main entrance of Taiji Palace of the Tang Dynasty and at the entrance of the Royal Bank of the Tang Dynasty, there were merchants and common people exchanging cash and bills.
Due to the large number of people and the lack of a semicolon in Chang'an City, a long queue quickly formed here, and there was even a new profession - Datang Royal Bank Professional Queuer.
They can arrive at the scene early in the morning to help you get a front seat before the door opens. They even say that if there is urgent business the next day, they can stay at the door all night to try to get you the first seat.
Datang Royal Bank has financial windows, with more windows for small transactions and fewer large-scale customers, but strict review takes a lot of time.
Each team was of different lengths, and in the cold morning wind, they chatted whether they had a ride or not.
"Good morning, Boss Zhang. Are you sold out of yesterday's goods?"
"Boss Li, you came early too. Yesterday's goods were not sold out."
"Then why are you queuing up here? No business?"
"I left the business to my son. I came here to get some more money."
"What? Could it be that you have to pay for it? That's silk from the south. It's in short supply and shouldn't be there~!"
Most of the people queuing up here are medium-sized traders. They go around to pick up some goods, and they can inadvertently get some special business news while chatting.
The words of the two people instantly attracted the attention of the people around them, and they all pricked up their ears. After all, the prices of goods were changing every day.
This situation is somewhat similar to the Age of Discovery game. If you miss a certain time or the quantity of a certain product is too large, the value will depreciate in an instant, and you may even lose money. If it is an opportunity, you will make a lot of money.
"I'm not losing money. It's not the Chinese New Year. I plan to stock up on more bamboo charcoal from the south and make some money then."
"Hush, Lao Zhang, you are crazy. The price of bamboo charcoal is controlled by the government. Do you dare to increase it?"
Boss Li said disapprovingly: "We are businessmen who abide by laws and regulations. We will not do anything that violates disciplines." After saying this, a smile that he thought was kind appeared on his face.
The other vendors around him murmured to themselves that Li Ben and Li Lai used to do business honestly and honestly. In the past, he was known to like to take advantage of loopholes and often did some sideline things.
If the Jin Yiwei had not enforced the law too strictly later, I would have seen the lawbreakers around me being violently attacked by the Jin Yiwei. The company closed down and closed down, and he himself was fined a sum of money as a lesson.
Naturally, he became more honest later, but, for some people who only have money in their eyes, a fine of a dime or a copper coin can kill them. But the timid Li Lai also knew that he would definitely not be able to defeat the Imperial Guards and the Law of the Tang Dynasty. What did he want to do?
The boss surnamed Zhang who greeted Li Lai was named Zhang Zhang. He also made groceries from the south and sold them in the north. It was originally a small business. He knew that he couldn't compete with those big families, so he could only focus on the quality and style of the goods. Because he was willing to endure hardships and was smart, he took root in the prosperous city of Chang'an.
"Old Li, I think there's something wrong with your smile. Did you get some gossip?"
Li Lai shook his head and kept his smile and replied: "There is no news. I just think that this winter is coming, and the price of bamboo charcoal will definitely increase. In addition, winter is coming soon, and transportation is inconvenient. I will stock up now while it is cheap. , earn some pocket money in the winter.”
The words are very reasonable. If it were told to ordinary people, they would believe it.
The people around me are all traveling businessmen. How can I make it to the scene if I don’t have Xiao Jiujiu in my heart?
"I see"
"Old Li, you are smarter."
"I'll make some later too"
"Yeah, maybe this way we can save money for the winter."
"Hmm, no matter how small the mosquito is, it's still meat."
"No"
Naturally, they didn't believe Li Lai's words, but they couldn't directly expose the other party, and then pretended to agree with him. In fact, it was a tacit understanding that he could continue to talk out the story.
"Oh, these are all trails. How much can you earn by going to the south?"
"Lao Li, why don't you take the opportunity to go to the south again to buy some goods?"
"I'm getting too old and can't run anymore. I plan to take a rest."
Looking at Li Lai, who is in his thirties but not yet forty, he is indeed quite young in this era, but for a businessman, it is a good time to be rich in experience and young in strength.
Sure enough, there is a ghost~!
"No, Lao Li, are you still young?"
“It’s not a problem to continue working for a few more years~!”
"Did you mess with that girl in the south~!"
"Maybe it's the girl from Hualou~!"
Others continued to find things to talk about.
"Brothers, don't talk nonsense, there's nothing wrong~"
Li Lai had also experienced these things. On the surface, he looked indifferent and started talking to them.
After some back and forth, a group of people each had some small ideas in their minds.
While they were arguing, a group of guards hurriedly walked out from the gate of Taiji Palace of the Tang Dynasty. The leader held a golden dragon-patterned notice in his hand.
He walked to the bulletin board set up by Li Mingda in the Tang Dynasty Palace, moved the original bulletin to the side in the most eye-catching position, and then posted it.
This action instantly attracted everyone's attention. The New Deal of the Tang Dynasty has been pouring out over the years. Those who did not notice it before have suffered a lot. Some people have even been exiled thousands of miles and even lost their lives because of it.
The long queue collapsed in an instant. Whoever was still queuing up at this time, they all squeezed in. They wanted to confirm immediately what policy it was and whether it had anything to do with their own.
"For the peace, stability and prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, to promote the smooth implementation of the government decrees of the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty is supreme... His Majesty the Mingzun Holy Emperor is very interested in recruiting talents among the people to participate in important affairs of the court. This recruitment involves military, political, and We hope that people with ambitions from all walks of life in the civil and commercial fields will actively sign up. The assessment is scheduled for June next year. During this period, candidates will be screened. If the identity information of the person does not match, he or she will not be passed. Those who are serious will be punished. The laws of the Tang Dynasty severely punished people. After assessment, the cabinet will arrange job positions...
As soon as the announcement stamped with the imperial seal of Mingzun Saint Emperor came out, it instantly caused a sensation in Chang'an City, and then spread throughout the Tang Dynasty via Baili Express.
In a mansion in the Tang Dynasty, the surviving old nobles of Guanlong and the elders of the previous dynasty and other heads of the family were sitting together in Chang'an City.
