After finishing the conversation with Li Zhi, it does not mean the end, but the beginning.▲∴▲∴,

Li Zhi was not a foolish emperor. He was almost very obvious in the court, but that was because Han Yi was his most trusted confidant and his banner in the court, and he had to show his imperial power.

But as an emperor, in addition to his own rights and interests, he also has to consider the interests of the country. The two cities belong to the interests of the country. In other words, on the surface, I can support you, but under the surface, you have to do this matter thoroughly and ensure the interests of the court.

The reason why Li Zhi was not in the court, or directly participated in the reconciliation between Beixiang and the two cities was because he was worried that if he participated, he might face a conflict between the interests of the court and his own interests. He asked Han Yi to talk to Gao Fuxing alone, which was actually a hint that Han Yi should make appropriate concessions to the Ministry of Revenue and not let things get worse.

Therefore, the next negotiation is related to Beixiang and Hanyi Private's personal interests.

When Han Yi came to the Ministry of Revenue, from the moment he stepped into the door, he felt a very unfriendly atmosphere. Almost every official in the Ministry of Revenue looked at him with hostile eyes.

In this case, Han Yi certainly dared not be arrogant. He would be beaten by someone, smiled and speeded up his pace. When he came to a house, he saw Gao Luxian. And only Gao Luxian was alone, and he felt a little relieved. Anyway, whoever hit him would beat Gao Luxian.

"Han Yi, the lower official, met Gao Shangshu."

"You're here."

Gao Luxing smiled and said, "Sit down. If the hospitality is not good, please forgive me if the special envoy is sent."

There is no respect in his tone, but there is a hint of irony.

"How dare you, how dare you?"

After Han Yi sat down, he thought that he was not rude to come and did not go back. He smiled and said, "Shu Gao is really well-managed. The lower-ranking official came here from the door, as if he was at a military camp. Tsk, the atmosphere was quite solemn."

Gao Luxing said, "Actually, our Ministry of Revenue has always been very enthusiastic about guests. I think they just feel that their responsibilities have been offended."

"Is that?" Han Yi said: "Gao Shangshu is so serious. The Ministry of Revenue is in charge of the world's finances. There are countless people coming to ask for money every year. How dare anyone offend the Ministry of Revenue? If it were me, I would rather offend the Bodhisattva than offend the God of Wealth."

"It's a pity that the God of Wealth in your heart is not the Ministry of Revenue, but you!"

Gao Luxing sighed slightly, too lazy to talk to him, and the key was that he couldn't win. He coughed lightly and said, "Before this, I have been thinking about what you want to get from the court and what is worth doing this? Alas, after thinking about it, I didn't think of anything worth doing this. Now I finally know why you do this. It's really worth it!"

Han Yi put away his smile and said simply and clearly: "I just want a relatively fair treatment, that's all. Is this wrong?"

Gao Luxing pondered for a moment and said, "So you won."

Han Yi said: "I think this is a win-win situation."

"This has to be seen."

Gao Luxing smiled and said, "Let's talk about the main business. You have got what you want now, but the two cities have been ruined by you and are dying. The problem now is not just that you have transformed war with the two cities into jade, but how to restore the prosperity of the two cities. I will tell you the truth, I have no way to do this, you have to find a way to solve it."

If you have a solution, I won’t sit here. Han Yi smiled secretly and said, “First of all, I need to sign a cooperation contract with the two cities, which must have an absolute legal effect. This is the premise. Otherwise, it won’t take long, and Gao Shangshu will probably think that someone has offended the responsibilities of the Ministry of Revenue.”

This kid is really going to be punished for flaws. He still has the face to say something about the sacred gentleman contract. Gao Luxing nodded and said, "This is what it should be."

Han Yi said: "Secondly, restore the voice of the Tang Dynasty that the two cities cooperate with our Beixiang, and I will arrange for people to go to the two cities to talk about Journey to the West."

Gao Luxing nodded, obviously this was not enough.

"at last!"

Han Yi paused for a moment before saying, "Let us allow the vouchers in North Lane to be used in both cities."

Gao Luxing opened his eyes slightly.

Han Yi said: "Shu Gao is famous for being capable and good at governing. He should know the benefits of vouchers. If vouchers can be used in the two cities, it will be of great help to the recovery of the two cities."

Gao Luxing narrowed his eyes slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "But have you ever thought about why you should use a piece of useless paper to convince merchants from both cities to pay for real goods."

Han Yi smiled and said, "This is why I want to say that all cooperation must be based on the sacred gentleman contract. I will write this in the cooperation contract, which is the same as signing a voucher cooperation plan with all the merchants in my North Lane. At any time when the curfew is lifted, our North Lane must unconditionally meet the customer's redemption requirements. This is also stated on the back of the voucher. If I don't do it, I will break the law. I am wearing the hat of the Royal Special Envoy on my head. I will never ignore this article because of this article. If Gao Shangshu agrees, I will convince the merchants of the two cities to accept this suggestion."

Gao Luxing pondered for a moment and suddenly said, "I have also studied the vouchers in North Lane. In a sense, this voucher is a coin, and it is very convenient and portable, far better than money and silk. Since you plan to allow it to be used in both cities, why not sell it directly by the court? Wouldn't that be more secure?"

Han Yi seemed to be prepared and said seriously: "If Gao Shangshu suggests doing this and is executed, then Xia Guan and Gao Shangshu will become eternal sinners of the Tang Dynasty."

Gao Luxing was slightly surprised and asked, "How do you say this?"

Han Yi said: "The reason is very simple. I have the court and His Majesty on my head, but who is the court? Gao Shangshu may not know that the people in Fengfeilou are all using vouchers, and I send them this voucher, but they are also exchanged with real money and silver from the money account and then sent to them. But the fact is that I control everything about the voucher, which is simply unnecessary for me, but I didn't do it. Because once I open this, I will regard the money account as a tool for my own wealth, constantly print vouchers, and then exchange them for other people's goods.

However, this consequence will result in less and less money, and more vouchers. Sooner or later, the money will not be able to pay vouchers. This will trigger the law and I will lose everything, including my own life. So I will never do this. But if it were the court, when the court is in financial difficulties, the court will print such vouchers on a large scale. No one can stop the court, including you, Gao Shangshu, then the people of the world will suffer for this, and the country will suffer great trouble. If the court enlisted this technology from me, I would rather die than die. Before I die, I will destroy all this."

Speaking of this, he was suddenly stunned and thought to himself, "No, this old man has been managing finances for so many years, and he wouldn't have even thought about this." Thinking of this, he glanced at him slightly and saw that Gao Luxing's face was filled with Gujing Bubo. Oh, I was fooled. He smiled bitterly: "Shu Gao, you really don't have to tempt me to tell me about the disadvantages of this voucher, because even if you don't say it, I will ask the Ministry of Revenue to strictly monitor our money account to prevent the spread of vouchers."

Gao Luxing laughed a few times and said, "I am not trying to lure you out, nor do I want to use this to let the Ministry of Revenue to supervise your money account. I just want to see what you are thinking. If you didn't say that, let alone allow your vouchers to be used in both cities, I can tell you with great certainty that your money account will close within one month."

His tone was very plain, but it exuded a sense of majesty that could not be disobeyed.

Han Yi and Gao Luxing had had several dealings. This was the first time he felt this momentum. Fortunately, when he was a liar, he felt too many times and would not be scared. However, he absolutely believed that Gao Luxing had this ability, because to a certain extent, Qianhao did have a side that was unfavorable to the rule of the court, but he did not argue, but chose to remain silent.

Gao Luxing thought for a while and said, "Just do as you said."

Han Yi felt a little relieved.

Gao Luxing suddenly said: "But regarding the Western Regions merchants, the western market must be the priority, which is the court's practice."

"I'm afraid the official can do nothing now."

"Um?"

"Because Xiaguan's perfume and new wine have special significance for the merchants in the Western Regions, no matter what, they will definitely come to my north alley, which is impossible to stop."

"Then you can talk to them in the two cities."

"If this is the case, then I would have cheated the merchants in North Lane. Moreover, I also made a promise to my fellow villager, the merchants from Jiangnan. If I regret it, then I will lose my integrity. This is a big taboo for a businessman."

"You are so smart, how could you not think of this? You clearly want to take action first and then report. There is no room for maneuver on this." Gao Luxing said very firmly. He knew in his heart that Li Zhi must actually support the two cities.

Han Yi smiled and said, "This is something to talk about."

Gao Luxing looked at Han Yi with a calm face, thinking that he had made enough concessions.

Han Yi smiled and said, "In fact, for the merchants in the Western Regions, they would not distinguish between the two cities and the North Alley, because in their eyes, whether it is the two cities or the North Alley, they represent the Tang Dynasty. If the court could issue official documents, in order to let the merchants in the Western Regions understand the new market in Chang'an, it decided to hold a trade exchange conference in Beixiang. Whether it is the two cities, the North Alley, or even the common people, they could take their goods to the North Alley for exhibition, of course, including the Western Regions, Fusang, Tubo and other goods. Everyone communicated with each other and tried to promote more transactions. In this way, the court and the two cities would not lose face, and could also show the prosperity of our Tang Dynasty."

One hour later.

"Shangshu, this is too cheap for Han Yi."

After learning about the results of the negotiations, Dai Ji became very excited.

Gao Luxing nodded and said, "This is indeed cheaper for him, but it is undeniable that Han Yi is far better than us in managing the market. Many of their ideas are worth learning from. Moreover, our Ministry of Revenue is also to blame for the failures of these two cities. Therefore, I hope to use this cooperation to let our Ministry of Revenue officials learn how to manage the market, otherwise our Ministry of Revenue will always be led by his nose."
