Xu Zhi was a little stunned when he heard this. He didn't know anything about these things. He never dared to raise prices in Chang'an City. At the foot of the emperor, His Majesty Li Er attached great importance to his face. If there were any scandals in Chang'an City, he would be embarrassed.

Therefore, Xu Zhi, the Chang'an County Magistrate, really didn't understand some of the methods of merchants, so he naturally didn't bother to understand them. He became an official, so he naturally despised the merchants. Who would spend time to understand merchants? This also provided a good opportunity for these merchants to take advantage of loopholes. If they couldn't get involved in the trade between the north and the foreign tribes, they could only think of ways from the agricultural distribution center in Sanyuan County.

Leaving here wholesale at a lower price, and then rushing back to the city to sell it to the people and wealthy families. They must be in this not far away, but there is no such crop market in the local area, so they set their minds at the farmers' market in Sanyuan County. The price will vary according to the distance of the journey, and Suning did not intend to blame it too much. This is a commercial rule.

Suning doesn't care about making more money from wealthy families, but it would be bad if the people in the city spent a lot of money to buy vegetables. The transactions here were taxed, but the taxes of the people in the city were not easy to collect. Who knew that these merchants would divide the transactions into several parts to avoid taxes? The Tang Dynasty did not attach much importance to business, and the low commercial tax was outrageous. Even if they began to pay attention to commercial trade during this period, they were still limited to trade in the north, not civilian trade within the country.

"This, Mr. Su, why is this?" Xu Zhier-er-Monk Xu Zhi couldn't touch his head and wanted to ask. Suning shook his head and said, "It's useless if you know these things. Merchants value profit, so don't we value profit? It's just that merchants directly value money, while we value fame, wealth, power and position. We are more greedy than merchants. What qualifications do you have to blame merchants? But, in the end, I still have to remind them, County Magistrate Xu, go and call the merchants that appear more often in the market. I have something to tell them. Pay attention, they often come here and have a large merchant that has a fixed relationship with several farmers."

Xu Zhi said with surprise: "Mr. Su Hou, do you still want to meet these businessmen in person? This is a bit emphatic, right? They have not made any contributions to us, it is not worth it!"

Suning shook his head and said, "I want to warn them some things so that they won't make mistakes and force me to attack them. Go and give me a reminder earlier, it will be good for all of us."

Xu Zhi had no choice but to nod, and then left the place. Suning asked the four guards to guard the distance, found a stall selling fruits and vegetables, pretending to be buying things, and looked at it. The seller saw a well-dressed young man looking at things, and felt that a big deal was coming, so he smiled and said, "What are you interested in? My fruits and vegetables are all fresh. I just picked them this morning, and they are so watery!"

Suning pretended to be surprised and asked, "Where did the fruits and vegetables come from this March day? I also found it strange. I heard that there are fruits and vegetables in Sanyuan County, so I came to see it. This is really strange!"

The farmer smiled and said, "Young man now doesn't know. I can't wait to see you. I have been growing a land for a lifetime, but how could I think of growing fruits and vegetables in this winter? But this happened like this. Do you know whose fiefdom is this land?"

Suning shook his head and said proudly: "Don't you know this? This is the fiefdom of Mr. Su, Suning, which is thousands of acres, and it's so big. Hehe, the little old man is the tenant and fief of Mr. Su. At the beginning, we were all poor and too poor to lose the blame. As a result, when Mr. Su came, hehe, more than two hundred cows were sent down, and a lot of seeds were given, chickens, ducks, geese, etc., oh, pigs, meat pigs, and this family's fortune suddenly came.

Mr. Su is such a good person. The whole family is honest and treats us very leniently. The rent is not heavy. Just pay it on time. Everything we have is given by Mr. Su. What are the food that we grow and raise is not given by Mr. Su? Just those rice and potatoes, and those strange green leafy vegetables, and those pork. Who knows that pork can be so delicious? In the past, when he had a fishy smell, hey, the pork was never eaten until he was very hungry, but when Mr. Su came, hey, this pork suddenly became delicious, and he didn't let it go!

Not only pork, but also chickens, ducks, fishes and geese, at the beginning, they didn’t have money to raise, so Mr. Su gave us money to feed us, and endured the most difficult period, and good days came. Oh, the Tang Dynasty has been in good weather in recent years. There are more food, more fruits and vegetables, and more meat. You can eat a meal of meat in a month. Hey, before, do you dare to think about this day? Thank God if you get a little bit of oil all year round.

So, the old man has the remaining fruits and vegetables to sell, right? He is not short of money. This farmer lives on land. As long as he has land and grain, what money is there? He exchanges food for what he lacks. He is so poor that he can't stand the subsidy. He can't starve to death. These fruits and vegetables are easy to break and are not fresh at a short time. They are not considered food. They are also grown in the ground. If God can't eat anything, how can he bear to let it go?

So, after everyone discussed, we can't eat it here, but in other places, we are not as generous as Mr. Su, we can't eat it for free. We don't want to give it to you. We don't want to plant it hard, and the government will not agree. But we lowered the price and sold it half and half. Look, just this basket of green leafy vegetables, and you will be given a copper cob. The vegetables and fruits in this stall are very beautiful. They have only picked it. If you give it ten big money, you will be given it. You are not greedy for money.

We are not short of money, we have enough food, and we can still get the spare money. We buy some cloth and make clothes during festivals. Oh, how dare we think about it before? This is also a reward for Marquis Su. Marquis Su gives us such a good life, and we can't be jealous. Just treat it as doing good deeds and save some merits for Marquis Su. In the future, we will have good life, right? Unfortunately, it would be great if there were more Marquis Su in this world. We would have good days, right? Hehehe!"

The farmers grinned and smiled and said these words. Suning felt warm in his heart. At this time, the people of the Tang Dynasty were simple and the people were pure like a piece of paper, spotless. After the great sadness, they knew how to repay kindness. Whoever treats them would be good to them, without any other meanings in it. All the things they did were worth it and were not wasted. If they had a good reputation and a good image in the hearts of the people, they would stand firm.

As soon as she thought of this, Suning took out ten big money and smiled and said, "Okay, I bought all this stall! Oh, I didn't expect that there would be such a good marquis here, so I'm really ignorant!"

Praising yourself is also a good choice...

When the farmers saw this, they smiled even happier and packed Suning with their hands and feet. The farmers next to them all came up to congratulate them, saying that they had new clothes during the holiday this year. They would have new clothes for the holiday next year. Save and save them, and don’t dare to spend them indiscriminately! The old farmers shouted and knew, and I want you to remind me that the family of five or six dolls has not had new clothes yet!

While packing, Suning asked, "By the way, my father-in-law, I also heard that many merchants come here to buy these fruits, vegetables, meat, etc. How do they calculate the price?"

The old farmer looked away and smiled disdainfully, "Hey, if they hadn't bought too much, and they said they wanted to buy it into the city for people in the city to eat, who would have sold it to them? The fat and big-eared ones looked like they were not good things, but they bought a lot of them. We don't talk about money either. Generally, one stall costs ten big money, so they sell it to them. These guys are rushing to buy one stall at a time, and some even fight to fight. It's really a waste of time!"

Suning frowned. He could buy so many things with ten big money. If he put them in the city, it would be impossible to describe how much profit it would cost. It seems that he should indeed hit it carefully so that these guys would fall into the eyes of money.

Suning bought good things and waited in the county government office. Not long after, Xu Zhi brought a group of more than ten large merchants to the county government office. These merchants were all circling with their eyes, and were extremely smart, but they were not good things at first glance...

"Mr. Su Hou, these twelve merchants are the big customers of this entire market. They usually come separately to buy them. After ordering several stores to supply them, they pay to take them away when they arrive, and then they are always watching here, for fear that someone will compete with them for business." Xu Zhi said disdainfully.

Suning nodded and walked to these merchants. These merchants also knew who they were facing, so they saluted Suning with trembling fear: "See Mr. Su!"

After seeing them for a while, Suning walked back to the seat and sat down, took a sip of water, and said, "Is this money so comfortable to make?"

Xu Zhi asked inexplicably for no reason. The merchants also looked at each other with confusion and didn't know how to answer. Only a few merchants who understood a little suddenly changed their expressions. A businessman who looked smart quickly said: "Su Hou Mingjian! This transaction is voluntary by both parties. No one forces anyone. This tax has been paid enough. There is no tax evasion. The government supervises it on the side. He has never done anything wrong. Please ask Su Hou Mingjian to investigate!"

The merchant also came to his senses and understood what Suning meant. He felt that this famous Marquis Su was suspected of their illegal business?

So they repeatedly stated that they had never participated in doing anything illegal, they did their own things, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to be beaten, and they were all voluntarily!

Suning snorted coldly and said, "I have asked all of you! You have bought so many things, and they are all worth ten cents at a stall. Can you buy that amount of fresh fruits and vegetables in the city at such a low price? Not to mention that it is spring now. Who else can sell fruits and vegetables in the city besides you? This price is not enough to be thrust into death? If I send someone to ask, I will know what you are doing, and it is not difficult to ask your head!"

More than a dozen businessmen immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, saying that they were doing regular business, so how could they raise the price? Who is not doing business like this these days? Mr. Su was too harsh to say this. This is not a way out for them to live. Is it easy to get up early and go to bed late every day to make some money? Some people wiped their tears...

Suning sneered in his heart and said, "You are just a dozen companies. I don't know what transactions you have made and how to squeeze other merchants away. I don't plan to know, but I want to tell you where you are doing business. I can know what your price is. I can also know. If you buy such a lot of money for ten cents, you can make a profit. I just want to say, you should pay attention to your conscience!
