Changsun Wuji did this in front of so many people, which really made Li Er embarrassed.
After all, he was his eldest uncle, so he could only glare at him first, make Changsun Wuji retreat and then slap him when no one was around.
Without waiting for him to ask, Li Yunze, who knew what he wanted to ask, said simply, "The shelling is all machine-processed, which is simple, convenient and trouble-free."
"As for why it's not delivered on the spot, that's because of the centralized supply method used here."
Li Er immediately asked, "What is centralized supply?"
"Guests come to buy rice, noodles and grains, leaving their addresses and quantities. After work is completed, there will be a special accounting room to do statistics and calculations. Tomorrow, they will be delivered directly from the warehouse to each shop, and all orders from customers in the city can be delivered at once.
Da.”
"As for the purchase limit of 100 kilograms, the reason is to prevent people from reselling it to make dirty money. However, as grain production continues to increase, this restriction will soon be removed."
Changsun Wuji, who wanted to make some dirty money, asked with a dark face, "What if I come back tomorrow, or if I bring all my family members here and everyone buys a hundred catties?"
"It seems that Duke Qi doesn't understand what statistics is."
Li Yunze smiled slightly, "If you don't recognize the person, you only recognize the address. The maximum monthly limit for each address is 100 kilograms. If it exceeds that, of course we won't give it away."
Changsun Wuji then asked, "There are so many people in my family, and a mere hundred kilograms is not enough for one day's food."
This time, Li Yunze looked at him as if he were looking at a shark eagle. "Does the Duke of Qi think that the food sold here is for the families of nobles? This place sells daily necessities for the common people so that they can survive."
It's better. Distinguished guests like Duke Qi are not accepted here."
Changsun Wuji was still waiting to say anything more, but Wei Zheng, who had been silent for a long time, stood up and said, "What if someone maliciously causes trouble? What should I do if the food is delivered without paying, or if I don't want it?"
"I believe that the people of the Tang Dynasty are kind and honest, and would not do such things." Li Yunze glanced at Changsun Wuji and said, "But if such a thing really happened, of course it would be reported to the official. Wannian County, Chang'an County,
And the Jingzhao Yin Yamen eats the salary from the imperial court and the taxes and food paid by the people, isn't that what they do?"
Li Er nodded frequently when he heard this. What he said was reasonable.
Over there, Wei Zheng pressed forward and asked again, "What if the Yamen doesn't care?"
Upon hearing this question, Li Yunze immediately looked at Li Er, "Then I won't pay taxes."
If others say such words, they will probably be beaten on the spot by nobles and unable to take care of themselves.
Dare you not pay taxes? Even if you lose a big boy!
But for Li Yunze, who is always mysterious and can come up with many good things, everyone here can't figure out his real details.
Li Er didn't want to continue this topic, so he waved his hand and was about to lead everyone to other areas.
At this time, there was a fierce noise outside the big market, and even a large glass window was smashed, making a terrifying noise.
Everyone hurried to the door, only to see a crowd of people outside.
A large group of strong men with evil faces were pushing and shoving the clerks in the big market and talking dirty words.
In addition, there were many beggars gathered in front of the door, shouting "Congratulations on getting rich" and asking for reward money.
The scene before him really made Li Yunze laugh. This is the dynamic group of Datang.
Li Er thinks Li Yunze is a strange person, even if he himself never admits it, Li Er thinks so.
Li Yunze always shows his sense of superiority in silent places, and this sense of superiority is real, and he can indeed come up with good things.
As the emperor, Li Er has always been concerned about maintaining his face in front of Li Yunze.
However, the scene in front of him made Li Er so angry that smoke was coming from his head. This really caused him to lose all face in front of Li Yunze!
Due to the gaze, the guards and Baiqisi who had been left outside all had stern looks on their faces.
The people from Baiqisi hurried forward to salute and lowered their voices to report, "Your Majesty, we did not receive the order, so..."
Their job was to protect the emperor, and this time they did so secretly, so even if they saw idiots making trouble in the big market, they didn't take action.
Before Li Er could say anything, Li Yunze walked over and said directly, "I have reported it to the official. Let's see how the Yamen will deal with it now."
When the words came to his lips, Li Er swallowed them back. He also wanted to see what Chang'an County would do.
Everyone turned back to the market and watched the farce outside through the smashed glass.
The matter is not complicated at all. Those with energetic organizations are here to collect property fees, while the beggars are here to ask for the benefits of red envelopes in the name of congratulations.
Vibrant organizations are a very old industry that existed as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. At that time, they were one of the hundreds of schools of thought.
In the Qin and Han Dynasties, he gradually transformed into a knight-errant.
From now on, all kinds of thieves, bandits, chivalrous men, and heroes basically fall into this category.
Like the good brother of Qin Qiong and others, Shan Xiongxin, who was buried by Li Er, is a heroic hero who sits on the ground and divides the spoils.
During the Song Dynasty, they were called heroes, during the Ming Dynasty they were called hooligans, and later on they were called the Heaven and Earth Club, the Boating Army, Brother Laohui, and so on.
If it goes further, it will be a certain company. Ahem.
Although the name is different, it has always existed.
"The people here are from the Wuhu Gang, saying that the West Market is their territory, and if you want to do business here, you have to pay property fees." Li Yunze raised the corner of his mouth and said, "They want 200 guan, 200 guan per month.
"
Li Er, whose expression calmed down, sneered, "The West City is their territory? How brave."
At this time, the nobles were all sitting on the benches drinking tea calmly. No one jumped out, patted their chests and shouted, "Your Majesty, I will wait for you to kill all those thieves and beat them from five tigers to five rats."
So much.
Those who can become nobles may become mere idiots.
At this time, just be a member of the public and don't cause trouble for yourself.
Li Er, who had already convicted this Wuhu Gang, asked again, "What's going on with those beggars?"
"They came to congratulate the opening of the new store." Li Yunze laughed. "They said they brought good fortune in return for wealth. Not only did they ask for a red envelope of 600 yuan, but they also wanted to become a shareholder in the store. If they didn't agree, they would come here every day to make trouble and not let the customers in.
When you enter the store, you still have to throw away rice fields."
Everyone's faces looked ugly.
This beggar gang is really abominable, even worse than the Five Tiger Gang.
"I heard that the main business of the Beggar Gang is to knock the heads of foreign merchants, and to pat the children and sell them to the X Building Skills Museum." Li Yunze looked at Li Er seriously, "Your Majesty has such villains under your rule, how can you talk about being a wise king?
?”
Li Er's breathing suddenly quickened.
Fang Xuanling secretly gave a thumbs up. You are the only one who dares to talk to the emperor like this.
Li Er, with a dark face, turned to look at the leader of Baiqisi, "Why haven't the people from Chang'an County come yet? Are your legs broken?"
How could the people of Baiqisi dare to respond? They saluted hurriedly and then turned around and ran out to urge him.
"Master Li." Changsun Wuji came over and said, "The art of escaping from the shell before."
Modern people may not be aware of, or even know about, food processing. Many people think that after the food is harvested from the fields, they just buy the shelled polished rice and snow-white flour at home.
In fact, in order for the grain harvested from the fields to become refined grain that can be purchased at home, many steps are required.
These grain processing steps are very cumbersome even in the modern world, let alone in ancient times when productivity was low.
Perhaps because of his life experience of being homeless when he was a child, and taking his sister to stay with his uncle's house, Changsun Wuji is a knowledgeable and knowledgeable person who understands the hardships of life and the importance of money.
When I saw those processed grains, I immediately understood the huge profits contained in this stuff.
"Isn't the Duke of Qi's family engaged in iron smelting?" Li Yunze asked curiously, "Are you planning to switch to the grain business?"
In the Tang Dynasty during the Zhenguan period, there was no monopoly on salt and iron, and it was a free trade.
But in front of so many nobles, Changsun Wuji was embarrassed to discuss business directly. After all, we are all nobles, and we should talk about face rather than copper.
Of course, the only one who dared to eagerly do business in front of Li Er was Changsun Wuji.
Because his sister is the Changsun Queen.
While talking, the government officials from Chang'an County finally arrived.
Li Er, who was sitting on the bench, watched quietly, but his face became increasingly ugly.
Because the police did not arrest members of active groups who were causing trouble, nor did they drive away beggars. Instead, they made trouble for the clerks in the big market.
Finally, he simply walked in, not far from everyone, and made it clear to the shopkeeper of the big market, "Isn't your boss just a rich man from the countryside? If you have the money to open such a big business in the West Market, why don't you?
Go and pay tribute to the Yamen?"
To be a police officer in Chang'an City, one must have considerable brains.
The police officers, active groups and beggar gangs have all carefully investigated the background of the owner here.
After confirming that he didn't have any noble backers, he dared to come looking for trouble.
But he never thought about extorting benefits in front of the emperor. "Your business is so big, what's the point of giving some money? If you give them the goods quickly, they will leave naturally. I was called to come over when I was busy with official duties."
, this hard work”
Li Er here couldn't help it anymore. He stood up suddenly and walked to the trembling noble. He kicked him over and said, "Well done, don't drive!"
During the Zhenguan period, Chang'an City was under the jurisdiction of Yongzhou Prefecture, and the previous Yongzhou Order was Li Er himself.
After he became emperor, it was like there was no Shangshu Ling in the Shangshu Province, and there was no one to serve as the Yongzhou Ling. Naturally, the one responsible for specific affairs was Bie Jia.
The so-called don't drive means long history.
At this time, Yongzhou Biejia was Li Hongjie who was kicked by Li Er.
Li Er, who was furious, flicked his sleeves bitterly, turned around and walked into the big market with his hands behind his back.
Li Hongjie, who was kicked over, struggled to get up. He first saluted Li Er's back, then stood up and walked in front of the government officials.
The government officials did not know Li Er, or they had never seen Li Er.
But he knew his immediate boss’s immediate boss.
They never thought that Yongzhou Biejia was actually here and was kicked over by someone else.
As for that person's identity, I don't dare to think about it.
Li Hongjie, who had a distorted face and a hoarse voice, said, "You guys are really trying to save me some face. Grab these people and take them to Chang'an County. I'm going to tear that bastard Yang Zuan alive today!"
Yang Zuan is a descendant of the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, and holds the title of male of Chang'an County. He is now the magistrate of Chang'an County, a standard official.
Li Hongjie had no other thoughts at this time. He just wanted to kill the bastard Yang Zuan who had tricked him before he was finished.
