Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

That Mr. Liang patted the boy on the shoulder lightly, shook his head sadly and sighed: "Shhhh... low key, low key!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his arm and pointed forward, signaling the young man in Tsing Yi to hurry up and leave.

Soon, the four masters and servants left the gate of the restaurant and disappeared under Guo Ye's sight.

Guo Ye listened to Mr. Liang's words, and then saw his melancholy back shaking his head and sighing when he left, he could not help but spit:

"I'm stupid, don't pretend to be aggressive, can I die?"

Then he looked at Guan Jiujiu with a look on his face, and asked, "Old Guan, who are these people? How did you provoke these people?"

Guan Jiujiu suddenly smiled wryly, and said: "This young man in white is called Liang Shuyu, hey, he has a lot of background, he has a lot of background!!"

Sighing, he said again: "As for how to provoke these people, well, it's a long story."

Chapter 390 They Are All Ruthless People!

Afterwards, Guan Jiujiu habitually babbled, talking about the ins and outs.

Guo Ye didn't say anything to interrupt, but listened patiently and silently.But the more he listened, the colder his face became, the more ugly he looked.

After Guan Jiujiu babbled the last sentence, Guo Ye finally understood the ins and outs of the whole matter.

To sum it up, there are two sentences. The first sentence is that the prosperity of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit;

As the saying goes, the source of all the commotion is this "Haitian Feast Restaurant".

In just a few years, under Guo Ye's long-distance planning and Guan Jiujiu's meticulous execution, Haitian Feast has become the most famous restaurant in Chang'an City.

Those who enter and leave the Haitian Feast Building are either rich or expensive, and they all come here in admiration of the eight major cuisines.Otherwise, how could Yu Shinan, a great contemporary Confucian, a well-known scholar, who is hard to find a word on a daily basis, would write an inscription for a restaurant?

There are no worthless people under the reputation, Haitian Feast Restaurant is not only famous in Chang'an City, but also makes a lot of money, which makes many colleagues red-eyed and coveted secretly.

And the two groups of people who left successively in the lobby of the restaurant today are the two most powerful groups among these jealous people.

……

……

Guo Ye looked at Guan Jiujiu with a sad expression on his face, and after speaking, he sighed and couldn't lift his spirits. It was obvious that he was heartbroken dealing with these two groups of people, and he was a little tired and weak.

However, she motioned for Zhenniang to move a bench for Guan Jiujiu to sit down, and then asked, "Old Guan, if I'm not mistaken, the first group of people who left should be the hooligans who are rampant in the West City." ?”

"what?"

Guan Jiujiu looked at Guo Ye in surprise when he heard the words, gave a thumbs up and praised: "My lord, you are wise! You guessed right, the first group of people just now were the thugs who dominated the West Market. They will get involved in any business that can make money in the market. Alas, how many merchants and experts in the West Market are bullied by them, and they dare not speak out when they are angry! The person who is in charge today, yes, is the one with the bare chest and hair This man is their leader, his surname is Jia, his name is Wang, and his nickname is Xishi Yihu. He is indeed very vicious!"

Oh?

It turns out that he is not an ordinary hooligan, but also knows how to make money.

If you get involved in any profitable business, isn't that just taking advantage of the momentum to get a dividend.

There is another name for this kind of person, called City Ba.

But so what if it is a vicious city tyrant?Are there still gangsters forming gangs, bullying others, and fish and meat merchants in their bones?

Guo Ye really didn't understand that Haitian Feast Restaurant could even get Yu Shinan's autographed inscriptions, and he must have made friends with many people in the government, so how could he be afraid of these city tyrants?

Immediately he asked Guan Jiujiu in confusion, could there be something else hidden in it?

Guan Jiujiu smiled wryly and said: "My lord, you only know one thing and don't know the other. The reason why Jia Wang, a tiger in the West Market, dares to run amok in the West Market, act recklessly, and bully the merchants is not just because of being fierce and fierce. Gather a crowd to kill. There is another expert behind him."

Guo Ye vaguely understood that it turned out that there was a backer behind him, a protective umbrella of evil forces!

Then he asked, "Who? Someone in the government?"

Guan Jiujiu nodded and replied, "That's right, Yu Deshui, the inspector of the West Market in Chang'an, is Jia Wang's uncle. According to rumors, Jia Wang is actually just a puppet of Yu Deshui, the inspector of the West Market. Yu Deshui is the real mastermind behind the scenes. The inspector of the West Market is in charge of the entire West Market, the law and order of the street markets in various places in the West Market and the tax revenue of nearly [-] stores are all in the hands of the inspector of the West Market. Tell me, who dare not be afraid of Jia Wang's three-pointer?"

West City Inspector?

According to the scope of duties, it belongs to the Ministry of Household Affairs, and in terms of the area of ​​responsibility, it belongs to the Chang'an Fu Yin.However, because there are nearly [-] shops in Chang'an West City, and nearly [-] merchants from all over the country and other foreign countries, a certain number of armored soldiers are equipped to facilitate management.

Therefore, although the Xishi Inspector is only a sixth-rank official position, it is also a very special official position.Because he is not only under the control of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Governor of Chang'an, but also can independently set up an official position that exists in the Yamen.

In the West Market, the inspector of the West Market is the sky above the heads of all the merchants, and the emperor of the land in the eyes of all the merchants in the West Market.

Sometimes, in the West Market, the Governor of Chang'an is not as effective as the West Market Inspector.

The more Guo Ye thought about it, the more he found that the West City Inspector was more like the Industrial and Commercial Bureau in charge of Chang'an West City.

And this industrial and commercial bureau is super awesome, with its own independent armed forces.

If that's the case, it's really troublesome.

The inspector of the West Market is in charge of the public security and taxation of the West Market, and is a rich and lucrative job.Such a person must have his own deep and deep network of interests, who in the officialdom would have trouble with Yinzi, and for Guan Jiujiu, a restaurant owner, with the inspector of the West Market?

Even if that person doesn't accept money from the Xishi inspector, even if he doesn't get along with others, he won't tear himself apart for Guan Jiujiu.

In terms of connections, how could Guan Jiujiu, the inspector of Xishi, be comparable to him?

That being the case, Guo Ye simply put the inspector of the West Market aside, and asked about the origins of another group of people: "Forget about the inspector of the West Market, let's just talk about that Mr. Liang Shuyu Liang just now. Listen to his sharp teeth and sharp mouth. The servant mentioned that he is the second son of Liang Wanwan's family. Since the master of his family dares to call him Liang Wanwan, it is obvious that his family has millions of dollars, but no matter how much money he has, he is still a merchant and not a member of the officialdom. How can you be so afraid of him? Woolen cloth?"

After saying that, he added, rather puzzled, "Looking at your expression just now, you are more afraid of this Young Master Liang than you are of Jia Wang. What's going on?"

Guan Jiujiu let out a dry laugh, his expression became more bitter, he shook his head and said, "My lord, this Liang family is not an ordinary merchant. You may not know that the head of the Liang family, the father of Mr. Liang, is It is said to be a million, but it is actually because of the Liang family's wealth, which is staggering. Did you know that at least [-]% of the stores in Dongshi City are under the name of the Liang family."

hiss……

Guo Ye took a breath of cool air abruptly. The East Market, like the West Market, is the two major commercial activity areas in Chang'an.

[-]% of the stores in Dongshi belong to the Liang family, what kind of concept is this.

It's like someone telling you that half of the real estate stores in Beijing's Wangfujing commercial area belong to Lao Tzu.

The land price in Wangfujing is comparable to an inch of land and an inch of gold, and owns half of the industry in the Wangfujing commercial zone. I am afraid that the richest man in Beijing would not dare to boast such a seaport?

Grandma's, Guo Ye couldn't help but be speechless, the Liang family's family is really well-off, and it really deserves the nickname Liang Wanwan.

But Guan Jiujiu still didn't get to the point, even if he was the richest man in Chang'an, he only had a lot of money.

So what if the country is so rich?Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen rank last.

So he asked urgently: "You have a family of millions, so you are so promising? Then if all the treasures of our underground palace in Xichuan are exchanged for silver, we can make up a million dollars. Are you afraid of him? Isn't it just that?" Do you have more money than anyone else? Damn it!"

Guan Jiujiu still shook his head and sighed: "My lord, don't worry, let me tell you about the Liang family in detail. The Liang family's Sancheng store in Dongshi is just the tip of the iceberg. The Liang family has its own in the suburbs of Chang'an. The winery, and there are eighteen wineries, specializing in brewing fine wine. My lord, do you know where the fine wine brewed by the Liang family is sold?"

Guo Ye rolled his eyes at Guan Jiujiu, and snorted, "This is the first time I've heard of the Liang family in Chang'an. Where can I find out where their wine is sold?"
