The people do not fight with officials, this is an eternal law!

These merchants came to Beixiang to do business, and they were just for profit. Could it be that they were to watch the drama nearby?

This is obviously impossible.●⌒,

If it is limited to the disputes between transactions, they are not afraid of causing trouble, but if it involves the struggle between the court, it is not a trivial matter.

Han Yi served as the censor of the Censorate, and this incident actually spread early in the morning. However, because today's aristocratic society, even if Han Yi became an official, in their eyes, they were nothing but Er. They had no fear of Han Yi, and even less respectful of him.

However, the Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the world's taxes, and it can be said that it is the immediate boss of the businessmen in the world. Han Yi offended the Ministry of Revenue, which is not a trivial matter for them. After hearing the news, these merchants were very frightened. It would be a trivial matter if they didn't do this business. Don't put yourself in it, it would be a big deal.

Therefore, as soon as the news came out, Qian Dafang and others came to Han Yi.

Han Yi also knew in his heart that if he didn't explain this to them clearly, someone might give in.

From the speed at which these merchants gather, we can see how anxious they are.

Of course, Han Yiwu was the last one to appear, but he did not let Liu E come with him. After all, Liu E's sentimental personality is not conducive to stabilizing the morale of the army.

But this time, no one blamed him, but congratulated Han Yi enthusiastically.

Han Yi knew that they were not sincerely congratulating him. After all, the emperor had not given him a reward recently, and he had never seen them say half of it before. The reason why they did this was simply because they were afraid that Han Yi would talk about him, and he would be circling around him. As soon as he came, he would name the topic. We are talking about the officialdom today, so you don’t want to talk about lottery draws.

In fact, Han Yi didn't plan to play with them. After saying thank you a few times, he said straight to the point: "I'll call everyone here today. It's a huge good news to tell everyone."

Great news?

Everyone was stunned and looked at Han Yi strangely.

Han Yi smiled and said, "It's just that the emperor has clearly allowed me to open a market in this north alley."

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other, and of course they had heard of this news.

Zhao Sijia smiled embarrassedly and said, "Brother Han, this is indeed good news, but we have also heard that the Ministry of Revenue is actually opposed to your opening of a market in this north alley."

Han Yi nodded and smiled, "It's something."

Zhao Sijia said: "Brother Han, please forgive me for saying something that is not appropriate. The emperor is busy with all his life and cannot keep an eye on our north alley all the time, but the Ministry of Revenue is different. This matter is a matter within the household."

He wanted to speak but stopped, but his meaning was already very obvious.

This is exactly the emperor's sorrow. They all know that the emperor is biased towards Han Yi, but the problem is that they don't trust the emperor's power very much.

But the more this happens, the more relieved Han Yi is. Li Zhi is now at the wellhead where the eruption is now. As the emperor, if I can't even protect a North Lane, then what is the meaning of what the emperor does? Therefore, no matter what, whoever dares to move North Lane is challenging the emperor's power, which Li Zhi will never tolerate.

Han Yi said: "Uncle Zhao Si is afraid that the Ministry of Revenue will wear small shoes for us."

Zhao Sijia smiled but said nothing. Obviously, he made a default.

Dou Yi also said: "After all, they are officials, and we are citizens. It would be too easy for them to cause trouble for us."

Han Yi smiled and said, "But don't forget either. I am also an official."

However, in their eyes, the confident Han Yi was like a joke. How could you, a small official, be compared with the Minister of Revenue? And with your background, it is still unknown how long you can be an official!

"I know this, but the Censorate has no right to mix in the transactions."

"This is a bad statement. Although the Censorate does not have the power to supervise the market, it has the power to inspect all officials. The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of my business, but I am in charge of the Ministry of Revenue."

As you said this, you didn't blush.

Although the Censorate has this power, you are just a small censor in the Censorate, and you also have the Censor Chief and Censor Chief.

No one believed Han Yi's words.

Han Yi glanced over and smiled and said, "I know everyone doesn't believe it, but have you ever thought that the emperor personally allowed the North Lane to open a market? This is not a simple sentence."

Qian Dafang asked in confusion: "What else does that mean?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "To put it more deeply, the emperor allowed me to open a market in this Beixiang, not the market in this Beixiang. Even if I can't manage the Ministry of Revenue, the emperor will be in charge. Don't forget who gave me this official robe."

When these businessmen heard this, they looked hesitant again. Although Han Yi could not compete with the Ministry of Revenue, is the emperor still not allowed?

Han Yi smiled and said, "I can tell you this. If the Ministry of Revenue dares to use its power to deal with our Beixiang, I will definitely let them go without any worries. I know that many of you have contact with ministers in the court, and may even be officials of the Ministry of Revenue, but it doesn't matter, so I'll leave this here." As he said that, he glanced at him and found that some of them were dodging.

The steady Dou Yi smiled and said, "Brother Han is so serious, we are not afraid that the Ministry of Revenue will use power without any responsibilities. Gao Shangshu performed his duties conscientiously, and we businessmen respected him very much, but the two markets are the court after all, and the difference in strength is too great."

Han Yi smiled and said, "Uncle Dou is right, but we have our advantages."

Qian Dafang said: "What you are talking about is Zhongxiang and Nanxiang."

Khan! It seems that this guy is also an old pervert. When he thinks about it, he thinks of Zhongxiang and Nanxiang. Han Yi said laughing and crying: "Of course this is also an advantage, but we have a greater advantage than the two cities."

Everyone looked at Han Yi in confusion.

Where do you talk about the advantages of the people and officials?

Han Yi said: "That is that we are more free than them. We are just pure transactions, and they are doing politics. Take this lottery for example. We are playing the lottery in Beixiang, which is just my word. But if the two cities want to play, then who will pay for this prize? Yes, the court is much richer than me, but the money is from the court, not from the Ministry of Revenue. If the Ministry of Revenue wants to use money to carry out the lottery, not to mention whether it can be successful, even if it is successful, the procedures will be completed. We have already played something else. This is our advantage. We are purely making money. Everything we do is to make money, and I am also in it, but the Ministry of Revenue is not in the business. If the Ministry of Revenue wants to compete with us in business, then I am not afraid of them at all."

Han Yi also went straight to the point. Yu Gong, I am not afraid of him. I have the emperor to protect him. If the emperor has no power, he is also the emperor. If you are private, the people from the Ministry of Revenue will talk about it on paper and ask them to do business, and they will lose as much as they have to. If they lose to them, then no one can defeat me.

It has to be said that Han Yi is reasonable and well-founded, and those merchants also understand this truth. But the problem is that based on the Tang Dynasty's market system, merchants have always been doing business under the imperial system. There was no business in the Tang Dynasty. Now they are suddenly wandering to the edge, and they will inevitably feel uneasy. Just like a prisoner who was originally going to be in prison for ten years, suddenly one day the government told him that he could go out to relax at any time, as long as he could come back to bed at night, their first feeling must be uneasy.

Or in other words, there is a lack of a sense of security. Doing business in the two cities is the system of the court. Doing business in the north alley is equivalent to breaking away from the system of the court and you will definitely feel a lack of security.

Han Yi also understands their psychology. Similarly, if you ask him to go to the two markets to do business, he will feel uneasy because he is used to being free and free, saying, "Everyone, this matter is special no matter what, and it is caused by me. If it is executed according to the contract, it will inevitably be a bit unfair to you. Let's do this. If you want to withdraw from North Lane, I will only charge one month's rent, and I will refund the rest to you."

Ramshid, who had been dozing off all the time, immediately said: "Brother Han, you are too harsh to say this. I can't control others. I like to do business here anyway. Don't think of using this reason to drive us away and raise the rent. I'm not fooled by you."

He is a Persian businessman, and Li Shimin is a person who cares about face. Since becoming the Khan of God, he has given very relaxed policies to foreigners and does not need to follow the local customs. You can maintain your traditions. Foreigners have many preferential treatments in the Tang Dynasty. It is precisely because of this diversified cultural exchange that has long led to this brilliant civilization. So he doesn't care about the Ministry of Revenue, if I do my business, I will not break the law.

Although Qian Dafang and the others were worried, Beixiang did let them see different things. They also like to do business in Beixiang. Now they rarely go to shops in the two cities and stay in Beixiang because it is very free here, whether it is a customer or them.

I began to weigh in my heart that this matter had just happened, and there was no movement from the Ministry of Revenue. Even if the Ministry of Revenue wanted to take action, it would definitely be for Han Yi. It would not be too late to see Feng change his mind when the time comes.

These businessmen all have a selfish abacus in their hearts. Of course, Han Yi never hoped that they would be loyal to themselves, after all, they are all businessmen.

It has already reached this point, either leave or stay. After weighing the pros and cons, most businessmen think that even if they want to leave, it is still a little too early and can still wait and see.

"Mr. Ram said very much. We just asked, but didn't say we were leaving North Lane."

"Not bad, not bad, now that Beixiang is so prosperous, why are we willing to leave?"

When those hesitant businessmen saw that these people said this, they naturally agreed.

Everyone showed hypocritical smiles again. This kind of smile is unique to businessmen and cannot be considered hypocritical in the business world.

Han Yi was as clear as a mirror and said, "Thank you for your understanding. I am not acting irritantly, but the business is not about favors. This is about your love and my wishes. But everyone can rest assured that I will prove that what I said is right soon. I will try my best to win more benefits for you. At the same time, I will prove to you that our Beixiang is as stable as Mount Tai in the court, not as serious as everyone imagines."

Ramshid heard his eyes glowing, "Brother Han, do you have any other wonderful methods?"

Han Yi said, "I have some solutions, but this matter has to be done slowly. You must remember that the grand occasion of these three days is definitely not the peak, but the beginning."
