"Are you saying they want to provide housing for everyone? And it's completely free housing in Chang'an City?"

"Yes, according to the information provided by our insider, it is indeed the case!"

"What did Li Chengqian think? Isn't it too good for these mud legs? Is he so full of money?"

"I feel that the other party is acting like this to keep those people so that we won't be poached again!"

"Impossible. If it is just to retain people, the price would be too high, right? A property in Chang'an costs at least hundreds of coins, and Li Chengqian promises to provide houses for free, right? Will he be willing to spend hundreds of thousands of coins to provide houses for these untouchables?"

They were still the master and servant, but the location became a private room in the "Wingbin Building" in Xicheng City. They were confused about Li Chengqian's sudden actions and couldn't understand why he did this.

"Have he done anything recently?"

"There are, but..."

"But what?"

"But my subordinates don't understand what he wants to do!"

"Oh? Say it!"

"Recently... it should be said that since half a month ago, some people have been buying real estate and shops in five or six shops including Lizheng, Xiuxing, Tongfan, etc. After investigation, their subordinates found out that these people were sent by them."

"Purchase real estate? And is it a purchase of several real estate in the market at one time?" The young man frowned, his mind was running very quickly, thinking about Li Chengqian's intention of this move, "Real estate...real estate...by the way, it should be like this!"

"Did Mr. Lang think of the other party's purpose?"

"It's very simple. Didn't he promise to provide housing for those people? But you said just now that those people are less than a thousand people in total, so how can there be so many ready-made houses for him in Chang'an City? So, he bought the properties of those buildings in a large scale, definitely to fulfill his promise!"

"Yes, why didn't I expect it! The husband is quick-minded, and I admire him!"

"Haha... Since he wants to use this method to retain those people, we can't do nothing... You arrange people, contact the owners in those workshops, and offer a high price to buy their property!"

"Langjun means..."

"Haha, I don't need you to finally get the properties purchased, but at least you have to make him more money, and the time to get the properties is greatly delayed... I want to see what would happen if those people saw that the properties he promised were not visible for a long time!"

"Langjun Gao Ce, I will do it now!"

"etc!"

"What are your instructions?"

“How is our glass produced?”

"I have already prepared a lot of stock and I'll wait a few days to officially start selling."

"Okay, very good! Tell them that the price of glass must be at least the first percent for sale than "Jubaolou"... and the price of wine in the restaurant has been reduced by 10 percent!"

"Yes, I understand!"

...

Li Chengqian didn't know that the people targeting him were trying every means to continue to crack down on his industry. The next day after he held the "employee meeting", he summoned the heads of all industries and made new personnel adjustments!

"From today, my third brother will take over as the general manager of Datang Royal Commercial Group, and all industries will be managed by him! The group has a Finance Department, responsible for all the accounting transactions and settlements of the group. It has a Human Resources and Logistics Department, responsible for the salary, welfare and other arrangements of all employees. It has a Sales Department, responsible for... Qiuxiang is transferred to the group's vice president, responsible for the daily affairs management of the group, and Chunxiang is transferred to the group's finance department... Zeng Mingyi is transferred to the general manager of the "Food is the Sky" and is responsible for all restaurant matters... Zhao Dezhu is transferred to the general manager of the furniture workshop, responsible for all furniture workshops..."

As Li Chengqian read one by one, the eyes of the people below kept turning to these people's faces. Compared with those ordinary employees yesterday, today everyone here is Li Chengqian's real confidants, and the knowledge they have mastered is also much more comprehensive and detailed, so they have long known about the concept of group company proposed by Li Chengqian.

"Okay, that's all the personnel adjustments for the time being. After the construction of the group headquarters is completed, all personnel can work there. At that time, the specific treatment of personnel in each department will also be made new adjustments... You don't need to worry. As long as you perform your duties and work hard, your treatment will only get higher and higher, and your life will definitely get better and better!"

"yes!"

"Okay, if you have any questions, come to me or your third brother at any time. Others can leave, Uncle Zeng and Sister Qiuxiang will stay!"

"Subsidiary is back!"

Everyone left, and only Li Chengqian, Li Ke, Zeng Mingyi and Qiu Xiang were left at the scene.

"Uncle Zeng, I will arrange a few people to go back to the restaurant later. You can make some renovations to the restaurant according to their requirements, and then..."

"Sister Qiuxiang, according to the original plan, began to completely reduce the price of glass and popularize glass to the homes of ordinary people..."

...

A few more days passed, and Li Chengqian appeared in the court unexpectedly, and no longer had the leisurely look in the past, but sat there with a serious face.

"Do you guys have any other things to report?" His Majesty Li Er asked routinely.

"Father, my son and I have something to do to report!"

"Oh? Well!" His Majesty Li Er nodded and signaled Eunuch Liu on the side to bring Li Chengqian's memorial.

His Majesty Li Er opened Li Chengqian's memorial and looked carefully. After a while, he looked up and asked Li Chengqian: "What do you mean is to set up another business department outside the six ministries to be responsible for business and business matters?"

"What? Your Majesty cannot, how can the six ministries of the court be easily increased? And..." As soon as His Majesty Li Er finished speaking, a minister immediately stood up to oppose it.

His Majesty Li Er waved his hand and said, "Your dear, don't be impatient, let the prince tell you what he thinks!"

"Father, my ministers, I would like to ask you a question. Although all dynasties have been very wary of merchants and have been suppressing them vigorously. Logically speaking, things like price gouging and hoarding should have disappeared long ago! But in fact, this is not only not cut off, but even happens all the time! Why is that?" Li Chengqian glanced at the ministers in the court and continued.

"Dayu's victory in controlling floods is to take advantage of the situation and replace blockages with diversion! So, when dealing with merchants, blockages have not been effective for thousands of years, why can't we try to diversions? My son's idea is to establish the seventh department other than the six ministries in the court, which is specifically responsible for all merchants in the Tang Dynasty, and set up independent commercial departments or bureaus in local governments at all levels. In the future, all merchants need to obtain these departments to apply for business qualification certificates..."

His Majesty Li Er did not listen to Li Chengqian's detailed procedures, but asked: "Well, I won't mention the specific details. Since you propose to establish a Ministry of Commerce, let's talk about the specific benefits."
