Jing Yuwei, a descendant of the Immortal Family of Yunwu Kingdom, originally did not come to the mortal government office once a month to order Mao, but this month he was surprisingly diligent. In less than half a month, he had already appeared in the government office five times. Once, they brought the family's instructions for the placement of merchants from the Baiyan Kingdom, and each time they were thoughtful and sternly worded, which made the oldest old fritters in the yamen mention the ordinary "Businessmen from the Baiyan Kingdom". When I wrote a few words, I couldn't help but feel a lot of respect.
They privately said to each other that Jing and Wei could still be offended, but the "Business Representative of Baiyan Country" who represented the power of the Immortal Family of Baiyan Country could never be offended.
"If you offend me, the Immortal Family of Baiyan Country will accuse me of Yunwu Country."
This is a reasonable explanation, so everyone in the yamen publicized it as the real reason. This is simply something that does not need to be reviewed with the Jing family or other immortal families. If it were not for the fear of the businessmen behind Baiyan Country, The Immortal Family of the Baiyan Kingdom questioned the crime. How could Jing and Wei, who were descendants of the Xian Family, act like the stewards of the merchants of the Baiyan Kingdom and do everything themselves, while treating the mortal merchants as his closest relatives? The others were businessmen related to the Jing family, but he never paid attention to them!
As for the distribution of the power of the Immortal Family of Baiyan Country, and the power of the Immortal Family of Yunwu Country, how can these mortals who live and die understand it? What they saw was that Jing Yuwei, who had not even cared much about military affairs before, had to take care of the food and accommodation of the merchants from Baiyan Kingdom this time. Naturally, Jing Yuwei's status was taken away from him. He was equated with the stewardship of the merchants of Baiyan Country, and then he was equated with the status of the Jing family and the mortal stewards of the Fairy Family of Baiyan Country.
Once these equal signs were established in their minds, many things could not wait to be reported to the government. The old fritters in the yamen who usually did not do anything started to use their minds and planned a path for the merchants of Baiyan Kingdom in advance. I looked up the idea and found out that he was more diligent than working for the Jing family.
For example, the instructions brought by Jing and Wei were to find a clean guesthouse in the city for the merchants from the Baiyan Kingdom, so that they would not mix with merchants from other countries.
Everyone in the yamen spread out the map and took a look. There were not many open spaces in the city. Moreover, Jing and Wei repeatedly said that they should make the merchants of Baiyan Country feel at home. They should not let them feel neglected, should not let them be harassed by mediocrity, and should not let them feel neglected. It is inconvenient for them to get in and out. First of all, ordinary narrow streets and alleys are not considered. They need a grand house. Secondly, they cannot be too close or too far from the bustling shopping streets. If they want to rent a house, Jing and Wei Pian have not given any approval. After looking back and forth several times about the money and funding, someone came up with the idea to free up the examination hall where officials are tested every year to live with them. Anyway, those officials asked them to go to the countryside for the test, so how dare they not go? If you are dissatisfied, do you dare to tell the Jing family?
So a group of merchants from the Baiyan Kingdom moved into the official examination room in the city in a grand manner. On the day of the move, the whole city was buzzed with news. Everyone, old and young, came to see it. Sure enough, the officials avoided it. In the future, they would not do business with merchants from the Baiyan Kingdom. I dare not ask how much the purchase price is, but I don't dare to ask how much the selling price is. When I see a little stable boy from these merchants, I see the owner's eyes and go straight to the cabinet to rummage through the cabinets. I just dare to take away the silver and copper coins. Anyone who dares to say the word "thief" will say: "They took over the officials' place, not to mention my little capital!"
After doing these things for a long time, an upright official who was slightly close to the Jing family said something in front of Jing Yuwei that abiding by laws and disciplines is the way to do business. It was okay if Jing Yuwei didn't listen. , his face turned red as soon as he heard it, and he got angry on the spot——
"I've said it again and again, it's not easy for these Baiyan merchants to live here. Why ask them to abide by the rules they don't understand? You, on the other hand, should abide by their rules and treat guests like a host!"
While he was having a fit, he ordered people to take off the official's black gauze, and sent the whole family to raise horses five hundred miles away. He also ordered people to solemnly invite the business representatives of Baiyan Kingdom, and personally served them a cup of cold tea. I can live here with peace of mind. I have taught my officials the rules of Baiyan Kingdom, and I hope they will not do this again in the future. Seeing that the officials who originally had strong opinions in the yamen all started fighting, some of them were bent on flattering the merchants of Baiyan Kingdom. , taking advantage of the situation, he was very proud and said that he had listened to Jing and Wei's words in his heart, and had already ordered the whole family to eat cold food, and he had also been drinking cold tea for many days.
Jing Yuwei sent away the merchants from Baiyan Country, and sneered when he heard this: "Then why are there so many shops selling hot tea on the street! It's obviously just perfunctory, just to show off!"
The officials were also trembling with fear. As soon as Jing and Wei left that day, they led many petty officials and soldiers to the streets and charged all the shops selling hot tea and rice with "insulting Baiyan Guoxian's family". When they were overturned, the boss arrested them all and either fined them a hundred silver or made them do hard labor. Every time he sent someone, he said: "I was originally going to behead you and other dogs for offending the Immortal family, but now I'm so lenient, and it's me." Waiting for the grace to intercede with you in front of the merchants of Baiyan Country."
Those shops that were lucky enough to save the dog's head, after that, when they heard the word "hundred" or "eye", some people had no bones in their knees, and some people fainted on the spot. Therefore, within a few days, the atmosphere in the city changed, and the word "hundred" changed. It is pronounced as ten, the word eye is pronounced as eye, and the word "eye" is pronounced as eye, and the word "eye" is pronounced as "noble". There are many other taboos that make newcomers dazzled and think that they have mistakenly entered a foreign ghost country. When they find out more about it, they all think it is a foreign ghost country. Even more powerful, after all, the reputation of the Yiwai Ghost Kingdom is there. This Yunwu Kingdom suddenly does not allow hot tea or rice, nor does it write a sign. The city's yamen are inevitably filled with people who violate taboos, and every day they are fined thousands of silver. On the contrary, the officials who dealt with it made a lot of money, and they had to recite long live thousands of times for Jing Yuwei and the merchants from Baiyan country every day, hoping that they would reveal more taboos that the people in this city didn't know, so that they could do it again. Get some money.
There were also some clever businessmen in the city. Seeing this, they quietly sent dozens of silver coins to the residence of the merchants of Baiyan Kingdom. Not only were they exempted from fines and hard labor, but they also got several banners saying "Agent for Baiyan Goods", and they prospered in the city ever since. When they got up, they were just like the merchants from the Baiyan Kingdom, taking everything and going anywhere. Seeing these good things, soon, the large boxes and small loads delivered to the residence of the merchants from the Baiyan Kingdom were actually more than what they took for themselves.
After Jing and Wei saw this, they returned to the other courtyard, hugged the new concubine who was a filial piety to the merchant from Baiyan Country, and said with a smile to the merchants: "What? I said that local snakes are not something to be afraid of. This If I don’t hoe you hard, don’t worry if you have no one behind you. If you have me, just treat this city as your property. Since we are in-laws, what should we do to each other?”
The businessmen all smiled happily after hearing this. You said how much money they got from people in this city, he said how much property they got from businessmen from other places. Finally, they all said that these will definitely belong to Jing Yuwei and his new concubine's son in the future.
Jing and Wei deeply agree.
Yes, his child has the blood of both the Jing family and the Baiyan Kingdom's Immortal family. No matter which side wins, will his son still worry about not being able to become a master?
