"It's interesting. This auction is really exciting. I'll have to brag about it with others when I get back."
"Yes, yes, I didn't expect there to be so many people here?"
The people standing at the back started talking one after another.
He spoke in a low voice, but it also attracted displeased looks from some rich people.
He turned around and looked at the ordinary people standing behind him.
"I told you, shopkeeper, your store is really interesting.
Each of us has an entrance fee of one tael of silver. How come in the end, you have also arranged for these ordinary people to join in?
Just looking at the clothes these people are wearing, I don’t believe that each of them can get one tael of silver?”
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked back.
Oh, good guys, in addition to these people, I don’t know when another group of people came from behind.
There were at least a hundred people in total, but they stood quietly at the back, muttering quietly and not moving.
Yes, you can tell by looking at the clothes these people are wearing that they must be ordinary people.
Is it possible that an ordinary citizen still has money to spend one tael of silver to watch the excitement here? Are you, the shopkeeper, deliberately causing trouble?
Hear what those rich people say,
The clan officials smiled disdainfully.
They are just a bunch of little people, and what little people like most is to make things difficult for little people.
They came here just to auction things, so what does it matter to them who comes to participate?
After hearing what they said, several shopkeepers said with a smile.
"The money of the people in the rear has already been given to them. No one has broken the rules of our shop today."
Why would anyone give money to nearly a hundred of them?
One person has one tael of silver, and these hundreds of people need more than 100 taels. Although they are all patrons who are not short of money, they feel distressed when they think of spending money to enter.
Sure enough, they don't understand the world of rich people. There are too many tyrannical people and it has nothing to do with them.
"Everyone, before I start the auction, I want to introduce to you the most distinguished person who came to my shop.
His arrival has made my Wanbao Pavilion shine brighter, and this is also the noble Majesty of the Tang Dynasty."
As he spoke, he looked towards the second floor, Li Er's side.
Someone outside just said that His Majesty is here, but many people still don't believe it and looked around but didn't see it.
It turned out to be true.
Everyone looked up and saw His Majesty sitting at the top on the second floor, wearing casual clothes.
If it weren't for the shopkeeper's introduction, no one would have noticed.
For a time, everyone in the attic shouted, "See your majesty."
"The common people in the rear can enter the attic to watch the auction, and their money is also given by the Holy One."
The shopkeeper continued talking, and the wealthy people who spoke felt a 100,000-pound blow in their hearts.
I usually thought I had a little money and was used to showing off, but I didn't expect that I actually hit a snag.
I just hope that Your Majesty will not look at them, otherwise, they will definitely die.
Who knew His Majesty would be so free to pay those people to come in?
At this moment, I just feel the urge to be bitten by a dog.
At this moment, everyone looked at the rich people again, and several of them lowered their heads.
The shopkeeper explained to everyone that there were no seats for the people in the back, so they had two people and one tael of silver.
"Well, those who don't know are not guilty, since these people have already paid their money.
Let them watch from behind."
After hearing what His Majesty said, several businessmen sitting nearby wiped the sweat from their brows.
Fortunately, His Majesty did not argue with these people, otherwise they would definitely die.
Everyone understood that even if the people in the rear did not want money, they had nothing to say.
As His Majesty appeared inside, some Xiao Xiaoxiao were directly shocked.
Originally, there were still some people thinking about Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts. If the auction was held, what kind of thing would they like? If they couldn't buy it, they could reveal their identities. Who would dare not give them face by then?
Now it seems that with Your Majesty here, this method will not work.
"Dear guests, first of all, thank you for taking the time from your busy schedule to attend my Wanbao Pavilion auction.
With warm applause, we would like to ask Your Majesty to say a few words."
Li Er glanced at Changsun Wuji, and the two men hinted at each other in their eyes.
Why is this so similar to the gathering at Zhaojiazhuang and the palace that day?
After saying that, he stood up, looked at everyone, and spoke slowly.
"Before you continue, I want to ask you something. You are talking about the shopkeeper of this shop.
Why do they have to travel thousands of miles to do business in this distant country of Datang?"
this?
Everyone below started discussing in low voices.
Several ministers stood up directly.
"Your Majesty, these businessmen come to our city of Chang'an in pursuit of profit, because they can make money in Chang'an City, hahahaha."
When the man finished speaking, the other ministers also laughed.
"That's right, I'm not being honest. I came to Chang'an City to do business because I saw the huge market in Datang.
They come to our city of Chang'an to do business, and everyone can make a lot of money.
But I ask you, and everyone in business today.
Let me ask you, if the Central Plains is at this moment, it is the time of strife in the world at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
Do you still want to come to our Central Plains to do business?”
After His Majesty finished speaking, the people below began to discuss in low voices.
If the Central Plains were in such a state of war, most of them would not dare to come and do business as they pleased.
Even if I do, I don’t dare to go to other places to do business at will.
Before you can make money, you must also have life to spend. Who knows if you will encounter bandits along the way. By then, losing money will be a small matter, but losing life will be a big deal.
Hearing what everyone said, Li Er burst out laughing.
"Everyone, today our Tang Dynasty can attract merchants from various tribes to come to Chang'an to do business.
It’s all because of the peaceful environment of our Datang City and our generous and tolerant heart.
No matter which tribe you belong to, you can come to Chang'an and do business.
As long as we abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty, every businessman's legal business will be protected by the Tang Dynasty.
At the same time, I, the Tang Dynasty, also support and welcome businessmen from various surrounding tribes to come here.
Each of you will be treated fairly and equitably."
What Li Er said was so inspiring that all the merchants in Wanbao Pavilion shouted, "Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty."
Isn’t it that what they are all thinking about is hoping to have such an environment?
When doing business in the Tang Dynasty, especially at the feet of the emperor in Chang'an City, everyone did business so calmly, without having to worry about anything happening.
All of this is due to the relaxed political environment of the Tang Dynasty and the various policies of the current emperor to encourage businesses.
Today, His Majesty said these words again. How can everyone not be excited?
"Just like the Wanbao Pavilion that opened today and sold these colored glazes.
Every glass, I think you should know their value.
But why did these merchants come to the Tang Dynasty to sell such precious colored glaze?
Isn’t it because all the businessmen trust me in Datang?
I put this sentence here today in front of everyone. I, the Tang Dynasty, encourage business.
We also provide everyone with a fair and just business environment, so that everyone in this environment can be protected by our Datang Laws.
At the same time, in addition to telling you this sentence, I am also telling all the businessmen in the entire Datang Dynasty.
If your interests have been illegally infringed upon, you can file a complaint with the local county government.
If the local county government does not give you fairness and justice, you can come to Chang'an City and my palace to file a petition.
At that time, I will make the decision for you for every injustice that happens to you."
Li Er's words reached everyone's ears again, and everyone cheered again.
"Okay, I won't say anything else. Let's start the auction according to your own process!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Seeing the excited expressions of that group of people, especially the businessmen, all the clan members curled their lips.
What your Majesty said, hey, a king likes to engage in such little tricks.
It only took a few words to win over all the people's hearts.
As expected, they are all just a bunch of brainless people, just lambs to be slaughtered.
Anyway, they already knew what His Majesty meant by what he said.
I just muttered something in my heart, it was really hypocritical, so I stayed aside quietly, wanting to prepare for the next auction.
After Li Er finished speaking, he also sat aside and began to quietly watch what was about to happen.
What happened today will definitely be spread by these common people and businessmen.
This is also the reason why I temporarily changed my mind when I saw this group of people.
As His Majesty finished speaking, the people standing at the back also sighed secretly.
Before, His Majesty was so unattainable in the eyes of everyone, as if the people were underground and His Majesty was in the sky. Now it seems that His Majesty is so approachable.
With your Majesty like you, why should the people worry about not being able to live and work in peace and contentment? This chapter has been completed!
