"It turns out to be shopkeeper Huang, are you here to buy fish too? It's just that this fish has been spotted by this nobleman first. If he decides not to buy it, he can only sell it to you. However, I, Uncle Wang, have many other fish here.
Can you take a look at the catch?"
Huang Wen turned to Yang Fan and asked, "Sir, I wonder if you want it. If you don't want it, I can negotiate the price with Wang Er."
Of course he heard Yang Fan making inquiries, but he only heard Shangguan Yi scolding Wang Er, thinking that the other party was making excuses because he didn't want to buy.
Yang Fan smiled disapprovingly: "The shopkeeper really has a good eye. This is a good thing. How about this? What will happen to the one who pays the highest price?"
Huang Wen couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart, and glanced at Yang Fan unexpectedly.
The way this man was dressed made Huang Wen feel a little scared!
In his opinion, Yang Fan must be a descendant of some noble clan in the south of the Yangtze River.
How can a merchant like him afford to offend such a person?
It's hard to see a good thing today. If you can't get it, it will feel uncomfortable.
Of course, what makes Huang Wen most uncomfortable is that due to Huating County's business regulations, the price cannot be too high.
Therefore, he had no chance of bidding a high price to get the fish.
However, Huang Wen also discovered a problem, that is, the young man in front of him was probably not a native of Huating County.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have said the rule of “higher bidder gets it.”
Thinking of this, Huang Wen reminded: "My noble man, since you want it, I will not compete with you, but I have to remind you that our Huating County has strict business regulations, and the prices of goods here cannot exceed
It cannot be too high or too low. If you violate it, you will be fined."
It was the first time Yang Fan heard such a rule and asked in surprise: "Oh, Huating County actually has such a rule?"
"Of course!" Huang Wen said with a bitter smile.
Wang Er also said: "Yes, noble man, although the governor has formulated strict business regulations to allow us people to have income, there are too many fish caught during this period and the price cannot be reduced, which also harms us fishermen.
.”
At this time, Wang Donglai also found a place to vent, and said with emotion: "Yes, it would be reasonable if we were not allowed to lower the price when there were few fish, but now is the peak fish season, and it is also stipulated that the price cannot be lowered, which is a bit unreasonable.
"
"Our fish can't be sold these days, and a lot of them are rotten. It's really difficult! You see, because the price of fish here is more expensive than other places, no one is buying the fish!"
Everyone followed the direction pointed by Wang Donglai and saw the large farmer's market with rows of fishermen selling fish as far as the eye could see.
The melancholy drizzle fell continuously, and some fishermen without raincoats were completely drenched.
Looking away, Yang Fan glanced at Shangguan Yi with a half-smile, and asked casually: "Do you think it is good to set a rigid price?"
"Uh... this..." Shangguan Yi wiped the water stains on his forehead. He didn't know whether it was cold sweat or soaked by rain.
At this time, he finally knew the purpose of Yang Fan bringing him to the farmer's market.
During this period, he had caught several vendors buying goods at low prices, and he was somewhat complacent.
Obviously, he was in big trouble!
Shangguan Yi finally understood why Yang Fan came to see him specifically today.
Seeing that Shangguan Yi understood what he meant, Yang Fan did not scold or continue to make things difficult.
Instead, he turned to look at Wang Donglai and others and sighed: "Originally, the Governor's office formulated the business regulations to protect the interests of the people at the bottom. I didn't expect that some officials below used them mechanically, but instead made you suffer. This is the Governor's dereliction of duty."
, you have suffered!”
Yang Fan's words shocked Wang Donglai and others.
This is not a question for Yang Fan!
Although I don't know how the young man in front of me has such courage, but judging from his clothes, even if he is punished, it will not be too serious.
They are completely different. They belong to the lowest level. How can they afford it?
Wang Er even hurriedly defended: "My lord, you can't say that to our Grand Governor, because we all know that the Grand Governor established this inspection room for our benefit, but the officials below misunderstood the Grand Governor
That’s all.”
"Yeah yeah!"
Yang Fan and the others had been talking for so long, and naturally some fishermen came over and agreed.
Seeing this scene, Shangguan Yi felt even more ashamed.
Because he did bad things with good intentions.
You think that strictly enforcing business regulations and not allowing price reductions is the best thing for the people. Who knew that such a situation would happen?
Seeing such simple people, Yang Fan felt a little uncomfortable.
He knew that words could not bring about real change.
Now he will use practical actions to make everyone realize what a market economy is.
Thinking of this, Yang Fan said: "Let's not talk about the Governor. In this way, what I just said still stands. Since Shopkeeper Huang also wants this tuna, then we should still get it by the one with the highest price. The consequences will be determined by
What does Shopkeeper Huang think of the responsibility?"
"Okay, let's just go with the price!" Since Yang Fan said so, Huang Wen was not polite.
In his opinion, Yang Fan, a nobleman, had the whole story anyway.
More importantly, this tuna is definitely a good product, and you will definitely make a lot of money.
"Snapped!"
Hearing the conversation between Yang Fan and Huang Wen, Wang Er couldn't help but slap himself.
Isn't this a dream?
It really hurts, it must not be a dream.
This made Wang Er very happy.
If it really goes to the one with the highest bid, then wouldn’t he get a lot of income?
Looking at the silly Wang Er, Huang Wen was not jealous, after all, he was originally a fisherman.
I only made a fortune doing small businesses in the past two years.
"I'll pay 300 Wen per catty for this tuna. I wonder if you can still raise the price?"
Huang Wen knew the ways of the shopping mall very well and wanted to suppress Yang Fan in one fell swoop.
Yang Fan disagreed, raised the corner of his mouth, and smiled faintly: "350 Wen..."
"400 Wen..." Huang Wen hesitated for a moment and then offered the price.
"450 Wen..."
"460 Wen..."
Huang Wen only added ten more articles.
After all, he is a businessman, so it is not worth it if it is too expensive.
"500 Wen..." Yang Fan remained as calm and calm as ever.
Don't talk about 500 yuan. If you really want it, 5,000 yuan won't be high.
Huang Wen encouraged himself and finally endured it.
If you increase the price, you will lose money!
However, Huang Wen was also a little curious as to who the young man in front of him was.
If you are a noble person from the south of the Yangtze River, you will rarely spend so much money to buy a tuna.
When Wang Er heard that Yang Fan reported 500 yuan per pound, he almost couldn't believe his ears, and the corners of his mouth were split behind his ears.
This was more than double what he expected, equivalent to about 100 more strings.
More than 100 strings are enough for their family of six to live for several years.
You know, the average county official's salary is only four or five dollars a month, and with other incomes, it is only about ten dollars.
More than 100 yuan is definitely a huge sum of money for a poor family like Wang Er.
Looking at Wang Er's stunned look, Yang Fan joked: "500 Wen per catty, sell it or not, or I can leave!"
"Ah...it's for sale. Of course it's for sale. Wherever the noble man lives, I'll help you send it there!"
How could Wang Er dare to be careless and asked quickly.
But before he could be happy for a long time, a few unscrupulous people broke in and said arrogantly: "I heard that you are disturbing the market order and raising commodity prices indiscriminately. Come with us and pay the fine at the inspector's office, otherwise
Put you all in jail."
As soon as these arrogant people came in, the onlookers dispersed one after another, not daring to get involved again.
Huang Wen and Wang Er also had pale faces and could only stand aside uneasily, looking at Yang Fan with pleading eyes, for fear that Yang Fan would leave them alone!
Looking at these arrogant people, Yang Fan frowned and ignored them. Instead, he turned to look at Shangguan Yi and asked, "Who are these people?"
"These people are mainly for bounty..." Huang Wen reminded quickly from the side.
"Bounty?"
Hearing Yang Fan's words, Shangguan Yi explained with a wry smile: "Because there are relatively few people in the Supervision Office, we have formulated some reward and punishment measures. If you find that some people dare to raise or lower prices, you can report them to the Supervision Office.
Get the corresponding bonus..."
With such an explanation, Yang Fan felt relieved.
It is undeniable that Shangguan Yi's skills are actually quite good.
There are similarities with the rewards of later generations.
It's just that Shangguan Yi allowed these gangsters to take advantage of the situation and did not establish a corresponding supervision mechanism.
After hearing Shangguan Yi's words, these gangsters did not restrain themselves. Instead, they said arrogantly: "Why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up and come with us..."
With that said, he was ready to pull Yang Fan.
But how can Xi Junmai and others make these people get what they want? Although they pretend to be common people, it doesn't mean they don't pay attention to this side.
When these gangsters came over, they had already protected Yang Fan.
Seeing that these people dared to take action, Xi Junmai couldn't hold back and shouted: "How brave, you dare to take action against the governor, you are simply looking for death!"
Before those gangsters could react, they were kicked out by Xi Jun several times.
Shangguan Yi also didn't expect that these gangsters were so bold and dared to attack Yang Fan directly. He was so frightened that he quickly apologized and said: "Grand Governor, my subordinates have let you down!"
After hearing what Xi Junmai and Shangguan Yi said, everyone present looked in disbelief.
Is this their Grand Governor?
Yang Fan has been in Huating County for so long, and the changes he has brought are definitely huge.
Although there may be some flaws in the development process, as long as the people can not starve to death, he is definitely a good official.
What's more, Yang Fan brought more than just this to the people here.
This is why the people here are full of hope.
Because they believe that Yang Fan can lead them towards a better life.
Now that he actually saw the person he had been thinking about day and night, everyone present was excited.
I don’t know who started it, but I knelt down and shouted loudly.
"Meet the Governor!"
The sounds one after another became one.
After a while, except Yang Fan who was standing, everyone else was kneeling on the ground.
Seeing this formation, Yang Fan was a little at a loss.
Even when faced with 100,000 cavalry, he was not so panicked.
After all, many of these kneeling people are old people with gray hair.
According to his age, being his grandfather is enough!
Yang Fan quickly helped up the nearest old man and said loudly: "Everyone is getting up, my subordinates are not interested in kneeling down!"
"Thank you, Governor."
Although none of these people could stand up, they could not hide the admiration in their eyes.
Especially Huang Wen, who was standing next to Yang Fan, had tears in his eyes.
As the lowest businessman, he never expected that one day he would be able to meet the high-ranking Governor.
Wang Er's legs and feet were a little weak, and he might not have been able to get up if Wang Dong hadn't been there to support him.
He really didn't expect that Yang Fan, the governor, would take a fancy to his fish.
If he knew that this was Yang Fan, he would have loved to send him there directly.
In his opinion, it was his honor for Yang Fan to eat his fish.
Seeing everyone's excited expressions, Yang Fan waved his hands and said: "Let everyone suffer! Because of our lack of rigor, everyone suffered losses. This is our dereliction of duty. Therefore, all of your losses during this period will be borne by everyone."
The governor will bear it."
"From now on, everyone can buy and sell freely. In addition, in the future, the market price will be determined by you. Except for some deliberate suppression or increase of prices, the Metropolitan Government will no longer participate in price control."
"Oh... the Governor is so powerful!"
Seeing the excitement of the people, Yang Fan said to Shangguan Yi next to him: "You Shao, in everything you do in the future, you must conduct on-site research carefully. You must know that any measures that are divorced from the people will only be counterproductive?"
"My subordinates have learned a lesson!" Shangguan Yi lowered his head to listen.
It turns out that he thought he was talented and could do anything.
Only now did he realize that he was worse than Yang Fan!
Although Yang Fan didn't know how much Shangguan Yi understood, he believed that Shangguan Yi's intelligence could definitely understand what he meant.
This was the prototype of Yang Fan's implementation of market economy in the Tang Dynasty, and no failure was allowed.
Of course, due to the lack of productivity and materials, this process will definitely be difficult.
As everyone dispersed, Yang Fan led Shangguan Yi and his party directly back to the Governor's Mansion.
At the same time, Yang Fan also took Huang Wen back.
On the one hand, this guy should know how to eat this tuna, or at least who makes it delicious.
On the other hand, Yang Fan also wants to set up a chamber of commerce.
Through this incident, Yang Fan discovered that both ordinary people and businessmen lacked channels to respond to problems.
Only by communicating frequently can similar things be avoided from happening again.
Although Yang Fan promotes commerce in Huating County, he wants to stimulate the city's prosperity through the economy.
But Yang Fan also knows himself. He is not an economist, let alone a strategist.
The things he took out were all things he had seen in his previous life. They were specious things and needed time to be confirmed.
Huang Wen's character seems to be quite good, so it is necessary for him to convey some information to himself.
In Dadu Mansion, Yang Fan picked up a piece of tuna meat and took a bite.
The fish meat is sweet and delicious, and the meat is firm, especially the parts where the fat is concentrated, and a tender aroma overflows from the corners of the mouth.
Well, very good!
In fact, Yang Fan was not used to sashimi, so he cooked it a little.
Of course, the main reason is that Wu Meiniang and the other girls are pregnant.
Just in case, Yang Fan didn't want them to eat raw food and get parasites when they were pregnant.
Not to mention, bluefin tuna tastes so good, no wonder it can be sold for tens of thousands of dollars per pound in later generations.
Apart from being scarce, the taste is absolutely amazing.
Huang Wen, who was sitting on the other side, was a little bit overwhelmed by such delicacies.
After all, how could a little commoner like him dare to be in the mood to eat in front of the governor!
Seeing this scene, Yang Fan ate several portions of fish in threes and threes, and began to think about how to speak: "I heard that you are a fish seller in Huating County? You are also responsible for the distribution of seafood in restaurants in nearby counties?"
Regarding Huang Wen's situation, Yang Fan asked Xi Junmai to investigate everything before eating.
Not to mention, Huang Wen is really good at it.
If placed in future generations, it can be regarded as an entrepreneur who rose from the grassroots.
After all, Huang Wen actually grew from a fisherman with nothing to a family with about 100,000 yuan through selling and buying seafood.
If converted into property for future generations, it would be equivalent to a billionaire, a true elite talent.
Although he didn't know why Yang Fan mentioned his own industry, Huang Wen still answered honestly: "Grand Governor, you are right, what are your orders?"
"I think from setting up a chamber of commerce, we need some businessmen like you to become members of the chamber of commerce, and you are the member of the chamber of commerce. The function of this chamber of commerce is..."
With that said, Yang Fan explained the characteristics of later generations of chambers of commerce.
"Ah? I will be the president of the Chamber of Commerce?"
Huang Wen's eyes widened and he looked at Yang Fan in disbelief.
I didn’t burn any incense when I went out today. How could such a good thing happen from the sky?
Although the president of this chamber of commerce does not have an official position, according to Yang Fan's story, it is definitely a powerful organization, especially in the business field.
More importantly, Yang Fan is his backer.
In Jiangnan, who dares to touch him?
Seeing Huang Wen's reaction, Yang Fan was very satisfied, nodded and said: "Yes, I will let you be the president, but I have a condition."
"Grand Governor, just give me your orders!"
"The conditions are actually very simple. I just need to be loyal. I will receive all business changes in Huating County and even Jiangnan as soon as possible."
"I swear to be loyal to the Grand Governor to the death. If I violate this oath, both humans and gods will be outraged!"
Huang Wen licked his dry lips and quickly expressed his allegiance.
He felt that happiness suddenly knocked on the door.
The request made by Yang Fan was not a request at all.
Huang Wen couldn't be happier to be able to hold onto a thigh like Yang Fan's!
"Okay, then go ahead and do your work. If there's anything you can't handle, just go to Shangguan Yi directly..."
"My subordinates resign!"
Looking at Huang Wen's back, Yang Fan was not afraid of his duplicity at all.
After all, this era is still very trustworthy.
As long as you swear to God, generally no one will break the oath easily.
