The predecessor who was scumbag by me was the emperor

There are guards here on weekdays, and the people passing by and the surrounding residents can only look at it from a distance, only knowing that the progress is extremely fast, and often changes drastically within a few days.

However, many people in the north of the city have never seen the real construction. It was officially opened after the listing today, so everyone came to see the excitement.

At the right hour, with the sound of gongs and drums, bands playing music, and firecrackers, a thousand-man imperial guards came slowly to protect the imperial guards. The people onlookers didn't realize what happened at first, until the imperial guards pushed the crowd away. opened, and violently cleared a passage, until the bright yellow imperial scorpion passed in front of them, and the wind blew the veil, revealing the majesty of the emperor, and the people woke up from their panic, "It's the emperor... the emperor is here! "

Shen Jia was preparing to go through the procedure with a group of business owners, when he heard the movement outside, and then heard countless "Long live the emperor" one after another, he was startled, and asked his followers: "Go and see what's going on?"

Before the entourage could inquire, someone has already rushed to report, "Shen Shilang, Your Majesty... Your Majesty is here, and please welcome your lord and all the masters to greet you."

Shen Jia frowned, shouldn't it be the morning court at this time?But since people have come, it is necessary to greet them, and even the specifications of this ceremony have suddenly become high-end.

The hosts were busy arranging their clothes, apprehensive yet pleasantly surprised, excited and terrified, following behind Shen Jia step by step, fearing that they would fall behind and lose sight of the emperor's holy face.

Shen Jia strode out, and happened to see Zhao Zhang getting off the imperial chariot and walking over with Du Fucheng's arm supported. He was dressed in a majestic imperial uniform, and when he raised his eyes, the whole country had to surrender under his dragon robe.

Shen Jia knelt down to salute, but Zhao Zhang didn't personally support him in front of others, so he just nodded lightly: "Be flat."

Shen Jia stood up, and briefly looked at Zhao Zhang with doubts in his eyes. When Zhao Zhang passed by him, he whispered: "I'm here to support you!"

Shen Jia smiled, followed his steps, and walked to the high platform with him. This was a temporary platform, and a piece of red silk was hanging from the archway, waiting for him to uncover it himself.

Zhao Zhang walked to that position and waved to Shen Jia: "Should we unveil the plaque?"

Shen Jia nodded: "Yes, the auspicious time has come."

"Then let's go together with Shen Aiqing." Zhao Zhang grabbed the end of the red silk and stuffed it into Shen Jia's hands at the same time. The two pulled hard, and the red silk slipped off, revealing the plaque directly above. The name was nothing new, but Almost all the officials present could recognize that the handwriting was from the hand of the emperor, and today the emperor is here again, which shows how much he values ​​this place, and also shows how much he loves Mr. Shen. Those who said that Mr. Shen would fall out of favor were all lies of.

Seeing that there were too many people at the scene, Shen Jia handed Zhao Zhang the script he had prepared, "The emperor, please come and make the opening speech."

Zhao Zhang glanced at the manuscript, and the corners of his eyes twitched. It turned out to be full of vernacular. When had he ever spoken in such a tone and sentence in front of others, didn't he seem too unskilled?

He put the manuscript behind him and didn't intend to use it. Just as he was about to speak, the scene fell silent for an instant. No one dared to make any noise except for the reluctant crowd who wanted to push forward.

After he finished his short and incisive opening speech, the people present did not give applause, but knelt down and shouted long live three times. Shen Jia asked calmly in his heart: Can ordinary people really understand such an awkward sentence? ?

But it doesn't matter, Zhao Zhang can come here, what he gave is an attitude, which proves that the business area is supervised by the emperor himself, and it is the emperor's order. Then the merchants who were hesitant to enter the market before should be anxious, after all, the shops are limited. At this time, it would be too late to rent a shop again.

Shen Jia stepped forward and talked about the rules and systems of the business district. It is true that businessmen make profits, but a gentleman loves money in a proper way, and business competition should also be fair. Since he wants to rectify the market, he must have the proper system. At least murder and arson for profit should be punished. Otherwise, no businessman in this world would dare to ignore the rules for huge profit. And bullying weak and small merchants, always and always, must be regulated bit by bit.

Of course, it is impossible to be fair and just. The market trend is ever-changing, and unfair things happen all the time. Standardize it.

"Li Cheng!" At the end of the ceremony, Zhao Zhang shouted: "Wait." He waved to Director Du, who came up with a wooden plate with a couplet on it.

"I have inscribed a couplet here, and I will stick it on both sides of this house number. Every year in the future, as long as this place does not disappoint me, I will replace it with new blessings every year."

Shen Jia arranged for someone to paste the couplet and read it aloud: "Sanyang Kaitai Kyushu Nafurui; Vientiane renews the world to celebrate Yangchun... Good! The emperor's Rong En present, everyone, please keep it in mind, remember, you The first is the people of the Great Jin, and the second is the businessmen. The Great Jin is strong and prosperous, and you can stand up straight when you go out. No one dares to commit crimes. Only when the Great Jin is rich, can your business be done all over the world. I believe that anyone Anyone who contributes to the Great Jin will be protected by the imperial court, no matter how high or low he is!"

These words were only touching at the moment, but not long after, when Wacha pretended to be a robber and seized a caravan from Dajin, and asked the family members of the merchants to pay a large amount of ransom, Shen Jia wrote a memorial. , and then the Northwest Army came out in full force, not only rescued the caravan, but also wiped out the robbers, even the corpses were sent to the capital of King Wacha, and placed naked in front of King Wacha, saying that there will be another time , it is not the "robbers" that are suppressed, but the country behind the robbers!

As soon as this incident happened, the neighboring countries no longer dared to attack the Dajin caravan, and even the number of real robbers in the wilderness decreased. Only when the merchants are protected by the country can they travel safely around the world, and they don’t have to worry about losing their lives at any time. It also made more and more people change their views on the status of merchants, and it also gave many people firm confidence in embarking on the commercial road.

After the unveiling of the business district, people in the north of the city who were a few streets away moved into their new homes one after another. In addition to the opening of the shops here, the north of the city was immersed in the festive sound of firecrackers throughout the month, and more and more people The view of the north of the city has changed, and many people have even started looking for land to build new houses here.

The area that no one dared to set foot in before has become so fragrant, the government has made a lot of money selling the land, and after the end of the month, the commercial tax in Chang'an City has also increased significantly.

When the exchange meeting started, Chang'an City ushered in a big crowd. Not only businessmen from all over the world came to learn experience, but even people from nearby towns came to shop for goods. It seemed that it was more lively than the imperial examination at the beginning of the year.

The store with the best location in the business district has opened a Taohuo store with a low-key name, and the Universal Bookstore is next door. The surrounding merchants are envious of such a location and specifications, and they all speculate who is the owner behind it.

In the end, when they found out that the person who came to settle the accounts was actually a servant, they couldn't help guessing, could it be that the shop was run by a member of the royal family?That is indeed qualified to win a shop in such a good location.

Du Xin brought back a large number of goods from the south, most of which were bought from overseas, and some were purchased from the south. The prices range from high to low. The three-story container is full, and it has become people's favorite. Even if you can’t afford the shops you visit, it’s okay to take a look and open your eyes. What’s more, there are really a lot of things that ordinary people can afford, with good quality and low price. Yunlai, business is very good.

"My lord, this is last month's account book, please have a look." Du Xin sent it to Shen Jia immediately after finishing the account book. The boss behind their firm has always been Shen Jia. Of course, the one in the palace is also counted, but that You don't care about business affairs.

Shen Jia didn't mind too much, he was just curious about the profit in the first month, and was a little shocked when he saw the numbers in the account book, which was more than double what he expected, "Why are the sales so good? I remember the sales on the second and third floors They are all relatively expensive things, and the high sales volume is a bit outrageous."

"Cough, that..." Du Xin lowered his head slightly, and said awkwardly: "Probably many people have recognized the slave, and those who know the identity of the slave will basically not return empty-handed, and even take the initiative to introduce business. So... think about next month it will be back to normal.”

Shen Jia laughed, "I forgot, the living signboard in our shop is actually Mr. Du, it's good, no one will dare to make trouble in the shop in the future, business will make money, they will buy it if they want, Neither willing nor forced, long-term trading still depends on the quality of the goods.”

"You're right, since we're playing the role of the royal family, we must be honest, and we must not lose the face of the emperor and you."

Shen Jia felt that it was good for him to have such awareness, so she still reminded him: "Although the background of our shop is strong enough, people will not offend me and I will not offend others. Business pays attention to harmony and wealth. You can't take advantage of your identity to suppress your peers, you know? "

"Don't worry about it, this slave knows it well. When the exchange meeting is over, more and more merchants from the south will come to Beijing. The imported goods we can bring back are also available to sea merchants. Naturally, there will be competition at that time. Don't worry, slave." He will restrain the servants and won't let them do things according to the rules." The rules are set by Shen Jia, and if they violate the rules themselves, then you know what Master Shen will do.

"It's good that you understand, but if someone bullies you, you don't have to hide, just follow the rules and justify yourself."

"Don't worry." Du Xin reassured again and again, and finally left a few big boxes for Shen Jia, "These are slaves' filial piety to you, and they are all from overseas. They are not very rare, and some are common in the local area. Things, I don’t know what you like, so I gave some at will.”

Shen Jia took an extra look at him upon hearing this, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Did you pay for it personally?"

"Yes, but it didn't cost much, and many of them were exchanged with the goods he brought over." Du Xin confessed, and Shen Jia also knew that they all carried private goods when they went to sea. He thinks it's okay to earn some property while making money.

He opened those boxes, and there were all kinds of things. I don't know if Du Xin couldn't figure out his preferences, or he did it on purpose. He was more inclined to the latter. After all, Du Xin was a father-in-law from the palace. , There must be some people who can read words and look at colors.

In addition to a large box full of overseas cloth accessories, there are also some seeds and fruits collected overseas that are not durable and made into dried fruit, and a lot of food is also made into durable dry goods. Shen Jia discovered a few things from it. The familiar food that Da Jin didn't have, suddenly revived.

He picked out those few and handed them to Du Xin: "Send someone out to sea and bring back the seeds of these foods, the more the better!" Greatly improve the food and clothing problems of the people in Dajin, and make social progress properly!

Du Xin didn't know how he judged, but he had been overseas and knew the functions of these foods. He originally thought that these things would not be able to grow in other places, but Master Shen said that he would definitely do it.

"Don't worry, the next time I go to sea is in July, and I will be back by the end of the year. I will definitely bring you enough seeds by then."

"At that time, I should be in Guangdong. Your ship will go ashore directly at the port of Guangdong, and go to the government envoy to find me. Some things should only be suitable for planting there, and they will be wasted in the north."

Du Xin became even more curious, why did Mr. Shen even know this?No wonder he was able to occupy a high position at such a young age. Among the high-ranking officials he has met, it is really rare for Mr. Shen to be so transparent.
