Chapter 464 Preparations(1/2)

By the time Han Yi arrived at the municipal office, the talks were basically over, so it can be said that Han Yi would give the conclusion.

After Han Yi's conclusion, the dust finally settled.

First, Beixiang promised that within one year, he would no longer poach merchants from the two cities. There was also a debate between the two sides about this matter, but Han Yi could not give a ten thousand year deadline. After all, he is not the Monkey King, and one year is his bottom line. In business, this deadline is very important. He did not say that he would have another poaching incident in a year, but God knows what it will look like in a year.

Secondly, Pingkangli will cooperate with the two cities. Dramas and Voice will be listed in the big restaurants in the six cities to help the two cities attract customers. This is the happiest thing about businessmen in the two cities, because this is the unique advantage of Beixiang. If the Voice of the TV series and Voice of the two cities, the advantages of Beixiang will also be weakened.

Finally, the guild promised to help the new merchants and actively cooperate with the court to open a night market.

Judging from the results, there was no loser in this commercial competition. Although many businessmen were poached from the two cities, Changsun Chong had almost prepared enough to replenish them soon. In addition, he also obtained dramas and good voices. It can be expected that once the night market is successful, the economy of the entire two cities will be boosted. For Beixiang, not only will it obtain the official permission of the court, but the market can be expanded, but once the shop is built, the merchants will be in place immediately. Qian Dafang and others will also invest all their resources in Beixiang, and their strength will also increase greatly.

Needless to say, the court is undoubtedly the biggest profiter.

Progress always occurs in competition. This competition has laid a new pattern in Chang'an. First, the market of Pingkangli was added. In the past, the North Lane was just a street, and the market was very small, and there was no contact with Zhong Lane and Nan Lane. Now Pingkangli is entirely planned to be an entertainment market. The scale is not small anymore, and Pingkangli is mostly controlled by private people, no longer controlled by the court, but a brand new group of forces.

There is also a lot of increase in merchants. From region to manpower, there have been significant improvements.

Although the process of this matter is not long, it can definitely be regarded as a landmark event.

Li Zhi's political thoughts on seeking change were also reflected in the process of this matter.

In the next few days, everyone was preparing for the night market. What should be left and what should be come. The two markets became extremely lively. No matter whether everyone really let go of their grudges, at present, everyone has only one purpose, which is the night market.

Early this morning, Changsun Chong and Han Yi arrived in Xishi.

"Haha! Chen Jingshi Han, I rarely admire anyone, but you are definitely one. I really didn't expect that you can resolve your grudges with the two cities so quickly."

Changsun Chong walked and said with a smile that the two obstacles to the night market were the first, Cheng Chuliang, and the second, the grudge between Beixiang and the two cities.

But in less than a month, Han Yi solved it all, and the efficiency of this work is really scary.

Han Yi smiled and shook his head, "The prince consort has given me a prize. In fact, this is not a big deal, and it is to be resolved. That may not be necessary. It is just that our Beixiang and the two cities have common interests and opportunities for cooperation. If we really cannot achieve a win-win situation, the merchants of the two cities will only surrender temporarily and cannot cooperate like this."

Changsun smiled and shook his head and said, "Even so, you are powerful. To be honest, I thought it was almost impossible unless you could surrender. If it were me, it would probably not be solved."

Han Yi smiled and said, "The Prince Consort is too modest. If it were the Prince Consort, these problems would not exist."

Changsun was stunned, then shook his head and laughed.

"Brother Han, Prince Consort."

Suddenly, someone called him. Han Yi turned around and saw Brother Xiong standing in front of a shop with a stool in his arms, looking at him with a smile, hurried over, and said, "I just said why can't I find you just now? So you came to Xicheng City? What are you doing here?"

Brother Xiong said, "Aren't I here to help Uncle Hu move things?"

Han Yi said in surprise: "Uncle Hu, which Uncle Hu?"

Changsun Chong said, "Xiaopang, do you think it's Hu San who makes milk cakes?"

Brother Xiong nodded and said, "Brother Han, Uncle Hu's milk cake is delicious. I'll buy some for you to try later."

Han Yi understood that it must be Xiong Di who was a food judge in Changsun Mansion. The merchant who signed a contract with Han Yi has been evacuating North Lane 66, and the new store there has been chosen long ago. The court meant to ask them to open the store quickly. After all, Li Zhi issued a death order and must open a night market this month. As for these disputes about interests, let's talk slowly. When the poor people heard that there were shops with no rent, they would also give them some tools. Such a good thing, they quickly came to take over the store first, for fear of variables. They smiled and said, "Remember to give money. I'll go first. I'll come here to find you later. Let's go together."

"oh."

Brother Xiong waved at Changsun again.

Changsun Chong smiled slightly and left Han Yi.

"Little Pang is really cute."

Changsun Chong has a gentle personality and read a lot. He is not very interested in the difference between scholars and common people. Whether it is Xiaopang or Han Yi, he is very easy-going. He never bullies others with power. Otherwise, with his identity, who would dare to provoke him in the world today? Xiaopang is kind-hearted, innocent, optimistic, and is indeed funny. A few Changsun Chong talked to him accidentally, and saw that he had read some, so he told him some knowledge.

Han Yi smiled and said, "I'm afraid he will cause trouble for the prince-consort." He regarded Xiaopang as his younger brother. Of course he was happy to praise Xiaopang.

"You can rest assured that Xiaopang knows the rules very well. Everyone in my house loves him closely."

Changsun Chong waved his hand and saw the happy smiling faces of the people, saying, "It's all your fault. If it weren't for your aggressive approach, how could those merchants organize everyone to donate money to help these poor people open shops? Look, these seats, benches, teapots, and stoves are all produced by merchants in the two cities."

Han Yi shook his head and said, "What kind of provocation method? The prince consort really respects me. I am teaching them how to make money. The best way to drive business in the world is this dietary industry, because the scope of the dietary industry is too wide, so I won't talk about it. The food industry has almost all the direct interest relationships. Not to mention these tables, chairs, benches, teapots, and oil lamps. If their business is booming, it will undoubtedly push these industries to become better. How much money is there? There is no more profitable transaction than this."

In fact, on the second day of the reconciliation, the guild held a meeting immediately. It was specifically about the night market. Yesterday, Qian Dafang and others made a fuss, and everyone understood, especially those who sold rice and meat, who were competing to help these new merchants and establish a good relationship with them. If the night market is not started, it would be a little money. But if it is started, it would be a very stable sales channel. And the volume is not small, and what is done in business is favors. Whoever can't calculate this debt, then just go to the house to play with mud.

The meeting was held very quickly, and almost all the wealthy businessmen, especially those with huge resources, took over.

"So that's it." Changsun Chong had never done a business. He didn't understand the key until now. He suddenly felt that the business was quite interesting and asked again: "By the way. Have you negotiated with those stores about this store?"

Han Yi nodded and said, "The talks are almost done, but there are too many people. It should be possible to implement them all this month. In fact, some time ago, the two markets lowered prices, which made the shopping boom at the end of the year early. People bought everything they should buy. Even if they did this end of the year, they would not have much income. And I promised to exempt him from renting for one to three months, the court would give them some money. I asked them to take advantage of this period to take a good rest and prepare. After all, when you go to Beixiang, it is not just such a small shop, and they must also take time to prepare."

Changsun Chong said a little curiously: "You are really incomprehensible in your business. If you want to say that your business is entirely based on rent. Nearly a hundred merchants, the three-month rent is not a small amount of money."

Han Yi said: "The Prince Consort said it well. The three-month rent is indeed quite large. The key is that there are too many people. But why doesn't Prince Consort think about it the other way around. If no one comes to my North Lane, I can't receive a penny of rent. Now someone is willing to come, and I'm exempting three-month rent. What's the point? When the market in my North Lane becomes prosperous, add a little rent, and the three-month rent will come soon. Moreover, spending these three-month rent to buy my career smoothly. Do you think I lost or made a profit?"

Changsun Chong nodded frequently when he heard this and said, "Everyone says you businessmen are careful in calculations. Now when you look at it, it's true."

Han Yi smiled and said, "There is no way. You are only in and out of the prince. And we businessmen either make or lose money. How can we not make careful calculations? If the same is true for officials, then the officials will also make careful calculations. This profession determines a person's personality."

Changsun Chong said, "Don't forget that you are now an official, and you are a royal envoy. When you become an official, you are afraid of having something to do with merchants, but you just happen to be the opposite. You always regard yourself as a merchant."

"It seems like you are the one who started your head."

Han Yi argued depressedly, saying: "In fact, whether it is a businessman or an official, character is the key to determining a person's status. Don't the saints say that."

Changsun nodded and smiled, "It's reasonable."

Suddenly, someone shouted in front of me: "Brother Changsun, Master, you are finally here, I plan to send someone to invite you."

The two looked up and saw Cheng Chuliang strode towards them.

Changsun Chong shook his head and said, "This Cheng Er is really a taboo!"

Of course Han Yi knew what he was referring to. When Cheng Chuliang approached, he said, "General, don't call me Master, I really can't bear this."

Cheng Chuliang stared at his big eyes and said, "Do you think I want to embarrass this? I just want to remind you that you have never taught me gambling skills, so you can't go back on your word."

Disgrace? Damn! So arrogant? Han Yi smiled and said, "Can you bring poker on your body?"

Cheng Chuliang immediately said righteously: "I came here today for business. Why do I have the nerve to bring poker here? But when I go to my house later, we can have some wine and play poker."

As soon as Han Yi finished speaking, he raised his hand and saw a small 2 suddenly appear between his two fingers.

Cheng Chuliang was shocked and said, "It's so amazing! But I don't like Xiao 2, I still like Lao Ka."

Lao Ka? Oh my God! Han Yi turned his hand, the card face down, handed it over and said, "General. I'll give you this poker."

"ah?"

Cheng Chuliang was stunned for a moment and took the poker. When he saw it, he was immediately scared and his face was bloodless. "Old old card?"

Changsun turned his head and saw that Zhang Xiao 2 had become an old k. He was shocked and said, "Chief Han, are you still able to do immortal magic?"

Han Yi smiled and said, "This is gambling technique. It's not a fairy method."

"Gambling?"

Cheng Chuliang raised his breath and then smiled flatteringly: "Master, when will you teach me this method?" He shouted from the bottom of his heart. He was already fantasizing about the scene of killing all over the army in the future. As he thought about it, he actually laughed happily.

Han Yi looked at him with a silly smile and knew what he was thinking. The key to scam was just one word, and he said, "I have taught you!"

Cheng Chuliang was stunned and said, "When did you teach me? I didn't see clearly when you just said that, why don't you change to hundreds more?"

How many hundred? How unconfident are you about your IQ! Han Yi smiled bitterly and said, "I just want to tell the general that as a gambler, he will never leave his poker."

Changsun Chong immediately said: "How can this work? How can you bring poker on your office?"

Cheng Chuliang also said: "Yes, I want to bring poker with me, so I can't help but play a few games."

"Yeah?"

Han Yi shook his forehead and said, "You misunderstood. I mean bringing a poker on your body."

Cheng Chuliang's eyes lit up and said, "This is a good idea." He quickly put the poker in his arms.

Han Yi hurriedly changed the topic and said, "Let's talk about business."

Cheng Chuliang immediately said: "The fire platform has been built, why don't we go and have a look first."

"OK."

When the three of them came to the high platform, the biggest obstacle to the night market was fire. Public security was a small problem. Stealing only harmed the little interests of individuals, but fires would harm the interests of the people of Chang'an. Therefore, this fire prevention measure must be prepared and improved. However, contemporary people have already had quite strong fire prevention ideas, so I won't talk about anything else. In the Tang Dynasty, arson was a serious crime, and even nine tribes could be implicated.

The Fire Watching Platform is specially used for fire prevention, which is equivalent to an artificial fire alarm, which means seeing where there is a fire.

The three of them went up to the platform, and a gust of north wind blew. Han Yi and Changsun Chong were trembling. Cheng Chuliang was fine and enjoyed it very much, saying, "Now we have built twenty fire-watching platforms here, and every grass and tree in the entire West City is in sight. In addition, we have added four fire departments. No matter where the fire catches, the fire guards can arrive immediately and the water utensils are ready."

Changsun Chong smiled and said, "Cheng Er, you are really decisive in your work."

Cheng Chuliang said carelessly: "What a big deal."

Han Yi said: "General, how much is the salary of this soldier?"

Cheng Chuliang was stunned for a moment and said, "The salary is not much. What are you asking about this?"

The Tang Dynasty was in the system of military affairs, and soldiers were the people, and the people were the soldiers. They had to farm and support their families in normal times. However, compared with ordinary farmers, the treatment was much better, but the salary was really small.

Han Yi pondered: "It's really uncomfortable to stand here to blow the night breeze at night. I was wondering if I could ask the night market to allocate some money to give these soldiers on duty some subsidies or something."

Cheng Chuliang frowned and said, "This is inappropriate. The Sixteen Guards are the army guarding the emperor. If merchants come to support them, this is a taboo!"

Changsun Chong also nodded.

Han Yi smiled and said, "The Fire Prevention Department will sooner or later return to the Mins and Security Bureau. The Mins and Security Bureau serves the people and is a gift given to the people by the emperor. Then the people give these people some gratitude and also give His Majesty the gratitude. What's wrong with this? Moreover, if they take subsidies from merchants in the two cities, can they not care about these people? They will definitely do their best to stand guard for these merchants. This way everyone is good. Moreover, there are only a few people in the Fire Prevention Department, which is not as many as half of the merchants in the West City, so there is not much money."

Cheng Chuliang scratched his head and said, "I don't make any decision on this matter unless Your Majesty nods."
