Chapter 352 No shortage of money

Li Zhi said in surprise: "They really got angry! Gu always thought that these businessmen had the best temper. Even if they felt wronged, they would only dare to complain privately, but they didn't expect that they would shout so loudly and some people would curse!"

While jogging on the spot, Wang Ping'an said, "I'm so anxious that the rabbit will bite people. Today's incident is indeed unfair, and there are soldiers who whip them with whips. Even if I'm replaced, I will be furious!"

Li Zhi turned around, leaned down, and asked in a low voice: "I didn't expect them to be like this. Without illness, should I just go there now, or wait for a while?"

Without discussing this in advance, he didn't know what to do. After leaving Wang Ping'an's crutch, he was still useless. It was no different from before. He was not very good at all, and he was not cultivated with any real heroic decisiveness!

Wang Ping'an shook his head and said, "Don't go there now. Wait for a while. When they fight, it's not too late for Your Highness to go there again!"

Li Zhi nodded, got off the horse, opened the plug of the water bag, took a sip, and handed it to Wang Ping'an, saying, "You really don't drink some?"

Wang Ping'an still shook his head and said, "Until the whole journey, I will not drink water. Your Highness has been riding on the horse for a while. It is best not to drink it, just hold it up if you are thirsty!"

They talk here, and the quarrels are even more aggravated there!

The merchants who dare to yell here all have some background backgrounds. Many big merchants have dated officials from the court, and even some business names and secret shares of officials. No one said it on the outside, but when the critical moment comes, the merchants are still a little confident. Besides, today's matter is too annoying, and it's impossible for a man to bear it!

Master Jin San was rubbing and hitting the city gate. He also saw the flag team and his anger burned! He thought to himself: "I am also a businessman. I can't compete with the princes, but can't I compete with the bastard of Hamiti? Hamiti is rich, but I'm not much worse than him!"

Originally, there was no strength left in his body, but in anger, a force suddenly emerged from somewhere on his body. He shouted: "Where is that bastard Hamiti, where is he? I want to kill him. The barbarians in foreign countries dare to be so arrogant in front of me!"

The big merchants were shouting in front of them, while the small merchants followed suit and felt that this matter was unfair. Why only the state officials were allowed to set fires and not the people were allowed to light the lights. Everyone should turn flags and fight together, and no one should be beaten!

Hamidti and Aiding both came. How could they not come for such a big thing? But they didn't dare to approach the city gate. They both hid far away in the carriage, and there were two strong horses tied next to the carriage. If the situation was wrong, they really had to run away!

Hamiti lay on the car window and said, "I started to scold, it seems that I was the one who scolded me!"

Ayiding lay down on another car window and said, "Brother-in-law, your ears are so good. You can hear others scolding you so far!"

Hamiti sighed: "Today is the day when my ancestors have been greeted the most. I guess no matter men or women, they have to be greeted several times!"

Ayiding grinned and said, "I'm afraid it's more than a few times. They dare not scold Wubian, so they will naturally scold you, as well as your ancestors!"

Hamiti snorted and said, "Your ancestors can't escape, they are all scolded!"

The shirtless soldiers ran to the city gate. They remained silent and listened to the officers and merchants scolding each other, but no one stepped forward to "suppress". Some people laughed instead. They had never seen such excitement before. The merchants dared to scold officers. This was the first time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty!

The officers slammed the whip, but this time no matter how the other party cursed, they did not take it seriously. They didn't know that the emperor was watching from above, and only knew that the prince would come out to settle the matter in a while, and they didn't dare to make the matter too much. If the prince couldn't suppress the scene, wouldn't that be bad?

The officers did not dare to take action, and the soldiers did not rush up. The merchants felt more reasonable and pulled their necks and shouted, and they had to ask why. They were a little impatient and actually went forward to pull the officer on the way!

Some businessmen shouted, "We dare not compete with the princes, but what about Hamiti? Don't think we don't know the medicinal food shop he paid for. He soaks in the eighth heaven every day, don't think we didn't see it!"

Some even said: "He is a Hu person, he can even catch flags, and he also finds out that the flag team is coming. Why can't we do it?"

"If we don't tell the reason today, we will go and sue the emperor. This matter cannot be concluded!" The merchants were really angry.

The people behind us arrived one after another, and many people from all over the countryside came. At this time, there were more than 100,000 people. Outside Chang'an City, at a glance, there were all people!

The people did not know the specific situation, but when they saw the chaos ahead, they squeezed in, and were talking about it, guessing what was going on.

The scene is getting more and more chaotic!

The officers are also common people, but their professions are different. They also have relatives and family members, some know them in the crowd, and some of them are doing some small business at home, and they all shout at them!

The situation changed drastically. At this time, it was not only calling for fairness or unfairness, but also calling for why the Hu people were going on. The people of the Tang Dynasty were not doing it! The Hu merchants in the crowd stopped doing it. They started calling out, why are the Hu people, Hamiti, also Hu people, why are we not?

Anyway, no matter who he was, he was excited at this time. He had to ask the officer to tell me why he was not allowed. Some people even started to attack the flag team, threw stones at the flag bearers, and cursed!

The flag bearers dodged left and right, and everyone thought to themselves: "It's really not easy to make this little money. We'll just raise a flag and provoke whoever we want to provoke!"

Seeing that the scene was about to get out of control, Wang Ping'an said, "The law does not blame the public. If the group fights, it will be difficult to end. Your Highness, it's your turn to take action!"

Li Zhi nodded, stuffed the water bag into Wang Ping'an's hand, turned over and made a gesture to the guards who were protecting him!

The guards immediately took out the gongs that had been prepared from the momentum. Hundreds of gongs rang together, and kept ringing!

Blowing horns to attack and chant gold to withdraw troops is a rule that everyone knows. Moreover, if the village chiefs want to say something, they will first beat a gong to attract the people, and then start talking about things!

As soon as the gong sounded, the people gradually became quiet. They knew that this was going to be a talk, and officials wanted to give them an explanation!

Li Zhi rode out on his horse, and the guards gave him a way and came to the crowd of people. Li Zhi shouted loudly: "Dear fellow villagers, don't clamor, be quiet!"

The people all looked at him that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually wanted to explain it personally, so I have to listen carefully!

Li Zhi asked loudly: "Friends, why are you making noise? Can you tell me?"

This sentence was asked knowingly, but the people behind could not hear what he was saying, but the big merchants in front shouted together, which was nothing more than that they were treated unfairly.

Wang Ping'an had long predicted this behavior of the merchants, and he told Li Zhi how to deal with it yesterday.

Looking at the crowd that could not be seen at first glance, Li Zhi nodded slightly and said loudly: "There are so many people, and you don't listen to your words. Why not do this? You recommend someone to come up and talk to Gu."

The noisy businessmen below suddenly calmed down. Look at me, I look at you, and I feel a little at a loss. If you want to change something happy, who can go up to talk to the prince will show his face, but it is a troublesome now. If anyone goes up to you, the consequences will be very bad!

When Li Zhi saw the merchants standing in front of him, he immediately calmed down. He was surprised that Wubing was right, and they really didn't say anything.

When Wang Ping'an and Li Zhi talked yesterday, he said with great certainty that as long as the businessmen make trouble, the noise will be very intense. If Li Zhi only asked in front, he would not have any questions. On the contrary, the more he asked, the more he would be chaotic, and many people would hide among the people and make noises.

But if Li Zhi does not ask everyone questions and answers, but asks the merchants to recommend one person, then the situation will immediately reverse. No matter who they recommend, they will be trembling and timid in front of Li Zhi, fearing that they will say the wrong thing. Li Zhi will be difficult to scold a bunch of people, so isn't it easy to scold one person!

As Wang Ping'an said, as soon as Li Zhi finished speaking, the merchants stopped talking. It was okay to mingle in the crowd and shout. The law did not blame the crowd, but if they really rushed to the front, they would be the first bird, and the arrow shot out the first bird!

After waiting for a while, the merchants still had no movement. Li Zhi frowned and said, "Do you want to talk about things? I shouted so loudly just now, but why is no one making a sound now?"

Master Jin San looked around and thought to himself, "It's all broilers, you're just making noises. It's useless to act seriously!" He gritted his teeth, strode forward, arrived in front of Li Zhi's horse, knelt down and saluted, and said, "Your Highness, Caomin is Jin Sanduo. Yesterday you also rewarded Caomin money!"

Seeing that someone finally volunteered, Li Zhi smiled and said, "It turns out it's you. I heard that they call you Jin San... Jin Lao San!"

Master Jin San hurriedly said, "Yes, Caomin is Jin Laosan, and Your Highness has a good memory."

Immediately afterwards, he explained the reasons why the merchants were quarreling and clamoring. He emphasized why Hu merchants could send flag teams, but we Tang Dynasty merchants could not. He did not mention Wang Ping'an, but just bite Hamiti's identity.

Li Zhi glanced at Master Jin San and saw that he had not put on his clothes yet, and was bare-handed. He said, "You put on the clothes first. As for why the medicinal food shop can be used to sing flags, this is actually very simple, because Wang Ping'an is an official of the Secretariat Province. He donated money to the Ministry of Revenue to reward the winners of this race. Therefore, the emperor is particularly accurate. The medicinal food shop can sing the banner of their business names!"

The merchants around the horse collectively said, and after a long time of work, it was because of money. Wang Ping'an took out the money, so his business could bring up the banner and a flag team. But we didn't get the money, so we couldn't get the flag and we were beaten by the officers?

Li Zhi cleared his throat and said loudly: "Since Wang Ping'an has taken out the money to help the convening of the racing conference, we cannot let him pay for free, so we send soldiers to ensure that only he can win the flag. This is not very fair. If you don't pay for it, of course you can't win the flag. This is to protect the interests of the industries under the name of the prince!"

He was excited and even called Wang Ping'an the prince. Fortunately, this was not in the court, otherwise the ministers would have to fry the oil pan!

Wang Ping'an was sweating from behind and thought to himself: "Brother Li Zhi, you are so polite. I really dare not take it as the word "Master" in front of you!"

The statement that the court sent troops to protect his interests when Wang Ping'an paid the money was what Wang Ping'an taught Li Zhi yesterday. This was clearly a sign to protect Wang Ping'an's business name, but in fact it was telling the merchants that as long as you pay, the court will also protect your business name like Wang Ping'an's business name!

This is a disguised promise. Although it is not clearly stated, it is fully expressed to the merchant!

After hearing this, everyone began to think about it. It turned out that it was a problem of money, not other problems. If it was a problem of other problems, it would be hard to say, there were too many variables; but if it was a problem of money, it would be easy to deal with. If you can't bear to spend your capital, you won't make any profit. As long as you are a businessman, you will understand this principle. There is nothing strange about it!

As long as the problem is attributed to money, it will be easy to solve. Everyone present can solve this problem!

After hearing Li Zhi's words, Master Jin San was stunned for a moment. He thought it was such an unfair thing. Why did he only allow the medicinal food shop to make a fortune and not let them make money? After a long time, he finished the book first!

He stood up straight, got closer, and said to Li Zhi: "Your Highness, if we, like the prince, also invest some money in this... what will happen? Let's make the conference even bigger? Can we also rush to fight flags or something?"

Mr. Jin was not talking loudly, so why are you discussing things? He discussed with the prince again, so how could he speak in a straight voice? But when Li Zhi answered him, his voice was extremely loud!

Li Zhi shouted: "What, you mean you want to pay the money and then put a flag on your own business?"

Master Jin's ears were numb, wondering why the prince was so loudly talking, when he heard the merchants behind him suddenly shouted: "Xiaomin and others are willing to pay the money, as long as we can be allowed to turn the flag!"

Li Zhi yelled, pretending to be thinking, but didn't make a sound immediately. After waiting for a long time, the merchants became a little anxious and started shouting again, petitioning loudly to ask Li Zhi to agree to this matter!

Li Zhi shook his head and said, "This matter is too big and I can't make a decision for a while. The business under Wang Ping'an's name was approved by the Secretariat. As for others... it's better for you to go to the Secretariat to petition and see if it can be done."

"You are the crown prince, the crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, there is no such thing as not being able to do... "The merchants shouted. Before they saw the interests, even if they were anxious, they would just quarrel. But now they saw that the interests were right in front of them, and they didn't even discuss them, so they were all unified. They had to pay the money and put the flag on them!
