In May, Yun Chu used his own name to issue an initiative to the merchants in Chang'an City, preparing to rebuild Yongle Square in Wannian County. At the same time, Chang'an County Magistrate Wen Wen also issued an initiative to the merchants in Chang'an City in his own name.
Merchants launched an initiative to renovate Chongde Fang in Chang'an County.
Yunchu was still the same as before, using the business of Jinchangfang as a guarantee, he was going to knock down all the dilapidated houses in Yonglefang except Kaiyuan Temple without spending a penny, and rebuild them to look like Guangfufang next door.
Wen Wen's plan is not radical. The scope of the renovation is limited to a small market in Chongde Fang. He has nothing to mortgage and can only use his own name as collateral, hoping to find some visionary and courageous merchants to actively
to participate.
Although Yun Chu's collateral seemed more reliable, everyone thought that Wen Wen's collateral was more honest.
What Yunchu never understood was that the people of the Tang Dynasty were obviously very poor, but they still had the habit of treating money like dirt.
But he values things like illusory reputation far more than a little money.
If Yun Chu messed up, he would lose a little money at most. If Wen Wen messed up, he would never be able to hold his head high and live a good life.
When Pei Xingjian was the magistrate of Chang'an County, he used the Chang'an County Government as security instead of Pei Xingjian's reputation.
Wannian County has developed several cities and towns. Next door to Yongle Fang is Anyefang, the last city to be developed. Today's Anyefang is gradually changing due to the presence of large canteens and large inns, and the fact that it is right next to Zhuque Street.
It has become a commercial place second only to the East and West cities and Jinchangfang.
It's a pity that the aborigines of Anyefang moved to a remote city after selling their expensive houses. As a result, in addition to enjoying a wave of relocation dividends, the current business dividends have nothing to do with them.
nothing.
The aboriginal people of Yonglefang have long been looking forward to the renovation of the city, and have already made preparations to sell their new houses and use the money to continue living in remote cities.
With the best wishes, they look forward to the good reconstruction of Wannian County being able to befall them once again.
Even Yunchu himself couldn't guarantee this kind of thing, but he didn't know where their confidence came from.
They left the prosperous business district and took the initiative to return to a city that was even more shabby, poor, and in a worse location. They did make a lot of money, but when the money was used to improve their lives, marry a wife and have children, Yunchu believed
, it won’t be long before they become poor again.
After all, there is still a curfew in Chang'an City, and even selling candied haws on a straw stick is a very good income in the overcrowded commercial market.
Yunchu didn't expect this change, but after all, it was a kind of behavior of changing the cage for a bird. Rich people gathered in the commercial market, which was good for the development of this market.
Since the basic result of the development of the market in Yunchu is that everyone makes a lot of money, therefore, this time, after hearing the news about the development of the market, the people, merchants, and even some relatively wealthy families in Yonglefang, for the first time
Immediately, they lined up to go to the county government office to check the land deeds and prepare for the relocation.
This is the benefit of renovating impoverished cities. There are not many wealthy people in these cities, or they are not wealthy enough to compete with the Wannian County Government, so the relocation can be carried out very smoothly.
If one day, Yunchu's mind suddenly goes wrong and he goes to renovate those towns that are full of rich and distinguished families... he will definitely lose money and not even be able to put on his trousers.
Many times people think that rich people make the most money, but they don’t know that in this world, it is always the poor who make money.
Yunchu would not renovate those cities and towns close to the imperial city. He had never even thought about it. The current renovation of those poor cities and towns was one of the few good things that Yunchu could do to help the poor.
After all, after renovation, it can give those who have been poor for many years a chance to become rich.
Given the opportunity, whether you can turn around or not is a matter of opinion.
Every time Wannian County prepares to renovate its city, it is a carnival for Chang'an's big merchants
It is also a feast for the forces behind the businesses. Yunchu believes that when the fat pigs start eating the best feed, they have no care for others and only want to eat it in the most ferocious, fastest and greediest way.
Drop as much food as possible.
Because it was already a very mature industry, Yun Chu didn't even have to take action personally. He let Liu Yi, the butler, lead a group of accountants to contact various merchants and the matter was quickly settled.
The same is true for Wen Wen. The reason why he went so smoothly was entirely because Wen Wen merged the construction projects of Chongde Fang and Yongle Fang.
If those big businessmen want to get the Yonglefang project, they must also do the Chongdefang project. Otherwise, neither project will be done.
On this matter, Wannian County Government and Chang'an County Government had a very unified attitude, leaving no room for the merchants to pick and choose.
So those big merchants either joined forces vertically or horizontally, and used all their strength to fight for more profit points.
As the massive renovation project began, not many people cared about Yunchu and Wenrou forming various business alliances.
The first people to notice the changes in Chang'an City's business model were the group of middlemen who had been sucking blood from merchants all year round.
Learn\./Net\./First\./Post
In the past, if small businessmen wanted to complete a business, they could not do without the help of middlemen. Now, this model seems to have changed. There are now very few small businessmen who need to ask them to find buyers for their goods.
Climb the middle man's door.
But their production and sales seem to have not changed much, especially those small businessmen who need to contact Hu merchants. Their goods are being transported to the Western Regions by the Hu merchants one camel after another.
It didn't go through the hands of people like them.
The people were extremely well-informed, and within two days they found out why their profession was no longer popular.
Because the Hu people who live in Dikeng City in Qujiangli will write out their needs on a huge whiteboard in Qujiangli and mark the prices.
If there are many merchants willing to supply at this price, the Hu people will take the initiative to lower the purchase price to see if anyone continues to follow up. If there are always people, then they can keep lowering the price until they buy at a price they are satisfied with.
Low quality goods are also acceptable.
On the contrary, if no merchant is willing to supply goods at the price written by Hu Shang, Hu Shang can only increase the purchase price until the price he gives can purchase the goods he needs.
Whether you are selling or buying goods, you must write down your price and quantity clearly, because the tax collectors stationed in Qujiang in Wannian County have to collect taxes based on the transaction volume and price.
When the middlemen and brokers wearing shoes of two colors saw the huge white board, their faces turned ashen.
There are three such whiteboards in Qujiang, one is specifically for Hu merchants, and the other is specifically for Datang merchants.
The last piece was densely written with the price, quantity, and quality of yesterday's goods transaction, as a reference for Hu merchants and merchants from other places in the Tang Dynasty to bid.
Yunchu called this new transaction method "honest transaction". It was aimed at those middlemen and brokers who did nothing but good things. In the name of honesty, they attracted more Hu merchants.
Domestic merchants came to Chang'an to conduct transactions, especially large-scale transactions.
This kind of trading can easily create a huge siphon effect in Guanzhong, and radiate to Luoyang, Taiyuan, these bulk cargo distribution centers, and finally form a monopoly.
Before Li Zhi said those words in Taiyuan Hospital, Yunchu would never dare to implement this so-called "honest transaction" rule.
Now, there are no taboos. If anyone is dissatisfied with this trading rule, please explain to the emperor why this behavior is inappropriate and provide a better solution.
Li Zhi liked the "honest transaction" rule proposed by Yun Chu very much.
Strengthening the trunk and weakening the branches has always been a national policy pursued by the Li royal family for a long time. Otherwise,
Chang'an City would no longer be able to station more than 30% of the Tang Dynasty's troops.
Not to mention how much tax loss can be reduced by trading nearby Chang'an City.
Others don't know the reason for the decline of Chang'an City, but Yunchu knows it. Guanzhong, which only relies on land routes, can't trade with the west, the Middle East and Europe, and can't improve the efficiency of transportation with the east. It can't maintain its own prosperity. So,
It is not surprising that he further became an outcast after his decline.
Now, Yunchu plans to take advantage of the convenience provided to merchants that cannot be provided elsewhere to further push Chang'an's economic strength to a point where it cannot be replaced by other places, so that prosperous Chang'an can continue to prosper.
.
In the evening, Yunchu left the Wannian County Government Office, and the still hot sunset shone on the top of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, making this magnificent tower like a huge burning candle.
Even when the city gate is about to close, Zhuque Street is still full of horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts filled with various supplies, as well as hurried craftsmen and merchants.
They all looked very busy and extremely fulfilled.
Seeing the city becoming busy again because of him, Yunchu felt proud.
After waiting for those nobles who were afraid of the emperor and didn't understand the consequences of Yun Chu's prostitution, the officials saw the real consequences.
If they wanted to object at that time, it was already too late.
After all, once the general trend has been formed and the first mover has taken over, anyone who opposes or acts against it is just a poor fish and turtle in the overflowing river.
