Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 581
"Your Majesty, no, it would cost too much money to build shops in the eastern and western cities, and my Tang household department doesn't have that much money."

"That's right, Your Majesty, our imperial court builds shops by itself. Isn't this a competition for the interests of the people? It's not right, it's not right..."

"........."

There are still many people who oppose it, and everyone has their own reasons.

However, Li Shimin still ignored them and just answered Qin Tian's words.

"Well, I think what Qin Aiqing said is right, this matter can be done, let the Ministry of Industry do it."

After Li Shimin said this, there was nothing more to discuss about this matter, and Qin Tian immediately took orders.

Back in the morning, those who had houses in their hands ran back in a hurry.

Soon, these policies will be implemented, and the houses in their hands are simply a disaster, and they must find a way to deal with them.

After these people went back, the housing prices in the eastern and western cities dropped immediately.

The price of the house is reduced, and naturally many people who are actually doing business can afford it.

At the same time, Qin Tian has also promulgated some policies to encourage business.

There are many merchants in Chang'an City, and these merchants were very excited when they heard about these policies.

"Okay, the imperial court has given us merchants so many benefits, if we don't do business at this time, when will we wait?"

"Whoever says no, I must continue to do business. It seems that I will buy another batch of goods recently. After these news spread, there will probably be many, many merchants coming to Chang'an City. At that time, the demand for various goods will be high." very high."

"That's right, tea, silk, porcelain, these need to be stocked up quickly..."

Merchants seek profit, and they also have this vision to seek profit. After the imperial court's policy was issued, they immediately saw the huge business opportunities in it.

Some people do business directly by themselves, running back and forth, because there are fewer taxes, which will increase their income a lot.

Some people, who are smarter, know that Changna City will attract many merchants, so they prefer to sit on the sidelines and wait for those merchants to arrive in Chang'an City, and sell their goods to these merchants.

Time passed like this, and after a few days, the entire Chang'an City has become much more lively than before, with an endless stream of merchants coming and going, and the sound of hawking can be heard everywhere.

The east and west cities were even more lively, not only merchants from the Tang Kingdom could be seen everywhere, but also merchants from countries in the Western Regions, and even some merchants from Persia.

They are all here for profit.

And when there are more merchants in Chang'an City, there will be more stories here every day.

Qin Tian sat in the mansion and played mahjong with his wives, and his wives were familiar with these stories.

"Let me tell you an interesting story. There was a merchant who brought a cart full of umbrellas to Chang'an City to sell them. After setting up a stall in the West Market for a few days, he didn't buy a single umbrella."

"I've also heard about this. It seems that the person saw that the umbrellas were not easy to sell, so he simply sold them all at a low price, right?"

"I didn't plan to sell it at a low price. A businessman traded with him and lowered the price a bit. The businessman saw that the umbrella was not easy to sell anyway, so he might as well get some principal and go back to do other business, so he sold the umbrella. , what do you think the result will be?"

Lu Huaniang said happily, and the ninth princess said: "What can I do, there was a heavy rain two days ago, and the heavy rain lasted for a long time. Umbrellas are very popular. The person who sold umbrellas at a low price is probably I'm going to die of distress."

"His Royal Highness is right. The businessman who bought at a low price seemed to have calculated that there would be a heavy rain, so he stocked up on umbrellas in advance and waited for the rain. After the rain, some people wanted umbrellas to increase in price. That guy made a lot of money."

"There are too many stories like this..."

The ladies talked one after another, purely to pass the time. Qin Tian also listened with great interest. He knew that wherever there are merchants, there will be business, and if there is business, there will be losses and profits. .

There will be many legendary business stories when there are losses and profits. This is a normal thing, and the more such stories, the more successful your policy is.

In Chang'an City, there are many stories about making money through vision every day, and after these stories are spread, more people who want to earn and get rich will be attracted to this industry.

After all, watching others make a lot of money by buying at a low price and selling at a high price, many people will be moved.

The more people invest in it, the more prosperous Chang'an City will be. Although many people may lose money, the big waves and the circulation of money will make the entire Tang Dynasty more and more prosperous.

"Nonsense!" When Qin Tian was thinking, Tang Rong suddenly went off, and it was Qin Tian who ordered it.

"Sir, bring the money." Tang Rong was a little proud, and the nine princesses curled her lips beside her: "What are you doing, you know that he has a beard, so give him some."

The Ninth Princess was about to lose her hand, and Qin Tian had her card in his hand, but Qin Tian picked it for Tang Rong.

Qin Tian smiled wryly, and suddenly checked the topic: "It suddenly occurred to me that I don't know how things are going in the embroidery workshop. I'll go and have a look, you guys can play."

Saying that, Qin Tian ran away immediately, playing mahjong with these women, he didn't dare to win, if he won, he would have to be punished at night.

After escaping like this, Qin Tian found Uncle Fu.

"How are things going in the embroidery workshop?"

"My lord, those embroidering girls have almost been trained, the textile factory has been put into operation, the shop decoration is completed, and the cloth business is ready to go into production. Embroidery, we have to wait a little longer, but all embroidery needs There are customers who come to book first, and then we can open, we don't have any customers to book yet."

Embroidery is generally used by dignitaries. They have requirements for embroidery, so embroidery is usually ordered by customers, and then within the specified time, the shop will complete the embroidered clothes ordered by customers. .

This is somewhat similar to the private order of later generations.

Nowadays, the embroidery business in Chang'an City is monopolized by Jiangnanfang. The Qin family suddenly had an embroidery workshop. Before they became famous, those high-ranking officials might not necessarily come to Qin Tian's embroidery workshop to order business.

Qin Tian frowned slightly after hearing Uncle Fu's words. He felt that this was very difficult. If no one made an appointment, they would have no business. Without business, how could the embroidery workshop open?
After thinking about it, Qin Tian said: "First take the cloth to Yiyan shop, sell it, and do embroidery, and then wait, if I remember correctly, the imperial court will soon invite bids for embroidery workshops across the country. At that time, let the girls from our embroidery workshop participate, as long as we can win the business of the imperial court, we don’t have to worry about it in the future.”
