"You are here just in time, otherwise I will send someone to inform you. You should go back immediately and remove the family emblems on all the shops of the Yun family, Qin family, Cheng family, Niu family, and Yuchi family. Those who can be closed first
Close the door. During the period when His Majesty is inspecting Yuezhou, we are not doing business. It is not good for His Majesty to see us."
Yun Ye's understatement made the four butlers stunned. After looking at each other, Lao Jianggong cupped his hands and said, "Master Marquis, it's not difficult to remove the family crest. I can do it when I get back, but it's difficult to close the door."
Yes, we have many shops. We own 30% of the shops on Yuhua Street. They sell rare groceries from the north and the south, as well as sandalwood from the west. Recently, there are more spices. If they are all closed, that street will be destroyed.
nobody."
Yun Ye took a breath of cold air. He designed Yuezhou City himself. He knew exactly where Yuhua Street was. It was this street that separated the inner city and the outer city into two worlds. The inner city was full of
The residences of nobles and wealthy merchants, and the emperor's palace are also under Dulong Mountain. Going eastward from Yuhua Street is the location of Yueyang Tower, and to the west is Chengyunmen Wharf. The seat of Yuezhou Governor is on Yuhua Street, across the street.
The street is the Changleshan Military Camp, and next to the military camp is the Yuezhou Treasury. If calculated based on the location, it is definitely the essence of Yuezhou City.
I left Yuezhou in a hurry and didn't care about these little things. The housekeeper's account books were always reviewed by Xin Yue. For Xin Yue, as long as there was a lot of profit, it was fine. As for other things, it was Yun Ye's responsibility.
Thinking about it, I thought that the shop of the five families must be quite large. I never thought that they could occupy half of Yuhua Street. You must know that this street is three miles long.
Why should we close the door? As long as the door is closed and Li Er sees the depressed market, he will not suspect that there is a ghost. What's more, someone is already collecting information for Li Er. It is impossible for him to not know about the situation on Yuhua Street. Yun Ye is now
My only prayer is that the five stores are not the largest on Yuhua Street.
"Whose is the biggest merchant on the street? It can't be ours, right?" Yun Ye asked Lao Jiang in a hurry with a hint of luck.
"No, our business is one of the largest in Yuezhou. But the biggest one is definitely not us. The strange thing is that no matter how hard Lao Nu and others inquired, they still couldn't figure out who the owner of the Hengshun was, and they had two disputes.
We did not take advantage, and even suffered a small loss. There is also a Taihe family that seems to have entanglements with the Wei Palace. These two families are the largest. The remaining ones are Hefeng from the Changsun family and Hejian Wang family.
Dongsheng's, Qianshun of Fang Xiang's family, and Liansheng of Du Xiang's family are all similar big businesses to our Yunfeng Hao. The real traders on this street are us."
Yun Ye finally breathed a sigh of relief. It doesn't matter if it's the biggest one. Changsun's claws were stretched out so long that he used the Hengshun number as a cover to get money. Li Tai's Taihe number was named after the Yunfeng number. How could this happen?
This guy's business is so big?
"That's it. When you go back, take off the logo and try to lower the price these days to make the business on this street prosper. Since you can't avoid it, let's make a name for it to benefit the people. Don't mess with Hengshun in the future.
·We can’t afford to offend you. It would be best if you could make the other merchants look like shady merchants these days. Remember to pay taxes. If you haven’t paid the taxes yet, pay them when you get back. Our family is law-abiding.
Merchants cannot let others poke their backs."
"Don't worry, Mr. Marquis, our family has always done business with no deception. Not only are the goods genuine, but the hospitality is also polite. Even the beggars at the door have never been chased away. We have always fed them well and sent them elsewhere.
"Beggars? Where do the beggars come from in Yuezhou City? When I left, Lord Marquis registered household registration for everyone. There are always a few acres of land to make a living. What's more, Yuezhou has always been short of food. Growing food is a skill.
It's a good living. "Although there are also beggars in Chang'an, Yun Ye was originally ambitious to build a new city. Among them, beggars represented a gloomy group. He specifically asked Hancheng. He and Qian Sheng swore that they had not left four corners.
Cui Yan also promised that there were no omissions. Where did these beggars come from? Yun Ye became angry.
"Master Marquis, this is not to blame Han Biejia and Qian Sima. Those beggars are the water thieves you wiped out. After Yuezhou City was built, some of them were sent to the wilderness to do hard labor, and the remaining ones were missing arms and legs.
They had no way to escape far away, and the local people hated these water thieves and wrote a book of ten thousand people not allowing the governor to give them household registration. Merchants did not dare to hire these water thieves, and they were not wanted in the workshops. They could not go far, so they had to rely on
We have to beg to survive, and some of us starve to death every year. That is to say, Mr. Niu is kind-hearted and asked Lao Liu to give some relief. Mr. Niu has done it, and our family has to give some relief. It has been three years, and now we are used to it.
He comes to beg every day during meal time, which is very annoying."
Since it was the choice of all Yuezhou people, Yun Ye had nothing to say. These water thieves had ravaged Dongting Lake for so many years, and no one had anything to say about the crimes they had suffered. Yun Ye thought of the craftsmen and merchants who moved from Chang'an, and asked
He said: "How are the farmers who moved from Chang'an to us now? Tell me, I always look at the account books! You can't tell anything about it. These people belong to our family. We don't dare to make any mistakes. How many of you are there?"
Same goes for home."
Hearing the Marquis' question, the four housekeepers laughed together. Lao Jiang pushed Lao Liu and asked him to speak. Lao Liu raised his hand and said: "Return to the Marquis, those of our family who came from Chang'an are not well-off when they arrive in Yuezhou."
People, the natives of Yuezhou are relatively stupid. They only know how to farm and are unwilling to go to the city to do business. But our family is different. Many of them are oilseeds who travel with caravans. How could they not seize such a good opportunity in Yuezhou?
The Yuezhou natives living in Tongtie Lane sold the houses compensated by the Marquis and went to build tile-roofed houses in villages outside the city, leaving the opportunity for our family to make a fortune.
When you go to Tongtie Lane now, it’s no different from Zhaoguofang in Chang’an. I’m still used to going to the mutton soup shop run by the township party in Tongtie Lane every morning to have a bowl of soup. I feel energetic all day long. The mutton soup
It just makes me stronger, but the sheep here are not good. Taishan. Old man Zhou always said that the sheep here ruined his family’s brand. Fortunately, there are spices, otherwise he would not be able to see his ancestors. "
"Our family will have no worries if you take care of them. What about the others? I mean, what about those people who have nothing to do with our family? I dragged my family and family from Chang'an to Yuezhou. I'm sorry if they don't have a good life.
They're gone."
"Don't worry, Lord Marquis. People from Chang'an are all skilled people. They came to Yuezhou just to open workshops. The labor in Chang'an is too expensive and the opening time of the market is short. That's why I moved here. The government does not allow workshops to be opened."
In the city, so, they are all by the lake. The government specially set aside a large piece of land and established an industrial zone like Chang'an. As long as those in the industrial zone do whatever they want, that land belongs to the He family.
I heard that the He family is already discussing with those workshops to merge the workshops that do the same kind of work into a larger workshop. The products made in this way are not only beautiful, but also easy to use, but the price is shady.
The home tune has been raised by 20%."
Yun Ye smiled. In the eyes of several housekeepers, except for his own family, anyone who makes money is making money with evil intentions. Since everything is fine, that's fine. As for the big business in Yuezhou City,
Zhangsun and Li Tai were responsible for this crime. Li Er probably didn't have the nerve to ask. He wanted to get angry and divorce his wife first and put his son in jail.
"Master Marquis, if you don't have any instructions, I will go to the inner house to pay my respects to the old lady and my wife, and ask if there is anything needed for the inner house. The old lady has traveled thousands of miles and needs a good rest."
Yun Ye nodded and saw the four people entering the inner cabin. Then he came out of the front cabin and looked at the blazing sun above his head. He sneezed twice and felt comfortable all over.
Yuezhou is positioned as a commercial city, which is naturally different from Chang'an in every aspect. As a national capital, Chang'an needs solemnity and a strong cultural atmosphere. If all the jars and jars from Chang'an are moved to Yuezhou, the whole city will become much quieter.
No matter who is the governor of Chang'an, he will seize this opportunity to transform the city's functions.
Ma Zhou did a great job. At first, it seemed like he was doing the wrong thing in the land inventory. Only then did he show his power. The land inventory was one aspect, and digging out the hidden population was his main purpose. But Princess Danyang and her family
Two hundred and twenty-five households with a concealed population were found. Lao Xue was so humiliated that he was summoned to the Chang'an government office by Ma Zhou. He blushed with questions in front of countless officials, and then became angry with embarrassment. He grabbed Ma Zhou in front of the court.
He threw him onto the rafter by his collar. Unexpectedly, Ma Zhou, who was lying on the rafter, was not angry and continued to question Princess Danyang as to why the population of her fiefdom exceeded the limit of her title.
Only then did he realize that he was being treated as a chicken that scares monkeys. Thinking of the terrible consequences, Xue Wanche planned to put an end to the matter and admit his mistake. However, he underestimated Ma Zhou's poisonous tongue, and the words he asked made him smoke.
Xue Wanche continued to commit crimes, but was pushed to the ground by the people from the Zongren Mansion who rushed over. He was slapped with a slap on the ground. The head of the Li family, Li Er, did not show any kindness to Lao Xue. The dignified Duke was humiliated in broad daylight.
, has probably exceeded the final psychological limit of this reckless man. According to the course of history, this guy is about to rebel.
Xue Wanche was demoted one rank and now became a marquis. Ma Zhou took care of Xue Wanche, and the rest went very smoothly. Chang'an's land and population were thoroughly investigated, and Lao Cheng kept secretly
The extra bankers were placed in the empty Yunjiazhuangzi to survive the danger.
Changsun Wuji was forced to return two thousand acres of land, and he asked for punishment but was pardoned by the emperor. Many people in the court were questioned because the land population exceeded their title. There were many people who had their titles reduced and dismissed. Before Li Er's expedition, almost everyone in the court was questioned.
In order to please the emperor, Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling tried to persuade him to go to war without success and had no choice but to let it go. Ma Zhou became the most ferocious evil dog around the emperor.
