The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1299 Reward Order

"Furthermore, order the craftsmen to forge more than a dozen silver medals, which must be exquisite. The silver medals have the words "Certified by the Imperial Court, Reputable Merchant" written on the back, and the big seal of the Ministry of Industry will be printed on the back." Xuan Shijing said: "After it is made, Immediately send it to the princess' mansion in Daozhengfang, and I will live in Chang'an these days."

"Master Xuan, don't worry, it's not difficult." Yan Lide said, "It will be delivered to Sir within two days."

"The money will come from the money allocated by the household department. Don't worry, Mr. Yan, these are small changes. I have already told your majesty that if you want to rectify these people, you will inevitably spend a lot of money in the early stage." Xuan Shijing said.

"Okay, that's fine." Yan Lide said: "I don't want anything else now, as long as the market in Chang'an City is stabilized, don't let the people have opinions on the new palace, don't let the court bear a bad name, whatever you do is fine."

The Ministry of Industry had poked this mess in the first place, so Yan Lide felt ashamed, and Xuan Shijing came to help solve the problem, so he had to try his best to satisfy whatever request he made.

Xuan Shijing came out of the Ministry of Works and went directly to the East Palace. He wanted the help of Prince Liu Rate, and he needed Li Chengqian's consent.

Now that there is an edict from His Majesty Li Er to act cheaply, it will be much easier. Go to Li Chengqian and then Li Ke, and the two will naturally send the memorial to His Majesty Li Er. Once approved, the two teams can leave Chang'an immediately The city went into action.

During this period, Xuan Shijing still has one thing to do, and that is to meet those merchants who supported the court before.

Most of those merchants are retail investors, and they are close to the Xuan family's chamber of commerce. Therefore, when Qiandui took the lead in agreeing, they naturally stood in line with the Xuan family and Qiandui's side, and diligently provided supplies to Longshouyuan. Materials, so far, this business has made a lot of money. Compared with the usual small-batch bulk sales, this business is very stable within two or three years. Even if you do nothing else, just give Longshou Yuan The money earned from the supply of materials would take ten times the usual time to earn back, but it was just two extra trips.

Sure enough, for this kind of thing, the right way is to choose small profits but quick turnover.

Xuan Shijing went to the Xuanwu Building and asked Qiandui to gather the previous shopkeepers and inform them that the lobby on the first floor of the Xuanwu Building was closed the day after tomorrow.

"Master Hou, what does it have to do with the closure of the first floor that you want to see those businessmen?" Qian Dui asked.

"How can those businessmen cooperate with the Ministry of Industry and the imperial court without giving some sweets?" Xuan Shijing said with a smile: "Tomorrow you will invite them to this Xuanwu Tower. I want to communicate with them beforehand. It’s a good thing, and our family is indispensable.”

"Yes, Lord Hou, I'll make arrangements now," Qiandui said.

"Clean up the first floor the day after tomorrow. The bigger the scene, the better, and the more people, the better." Xuan Shijing said: "The more people know about a businessman's reputation, the better."

"The subordinate understands." Qian Dui responded.

Xuan Shijing returned to Daozhengfang and stayed in Daozhengfang for one night. Now all the manpower from the Ministry of Industry has been dispatched to Longshouyuan. There is a shortage of manpower. For a while, the energy of the Ministry of Industry is on Longshouyuan. It is difficult to have any right to speak in the court.

It was all because of the two officials from the Ministry of Industry who were the trigger for the current situation. If the Ministry of Industry had honestly purchased materials from businessmen, so many things would not have happened.

People from the Ministry of Industry bragged, but the result was that he, the supervisor, was required to resist. I don't know what happened to the two officials from the Ministry of Industry who were brought into the palace by His Majesty Li Er before.

The next day, Xuan Shijing met with these first batch of businessmen who followed in the Xuan family's footsteps in the Xuanwu Building.

"Everyone, I have invited you here today. I have something good to tell you." Xuan Shijing said.

"Xuan Gong, please tell me, I will listen with all my ears."

When they met Xuan Shijing here before, before they cooperated with the court to sell the materials, this business had already made them a lot of money. Therefore, they had some trust in Xuan Shijing.

The Xuan family has a great career, and they are not afraid of tossing around, as long as they hug this big tree tightly, there will always be benefits.

"Everyone sitting here is the first batch of merchants to cooperate with the imperial court. After the completion of the new palace on Longshouyuan, I will report to the imperial court and reward you all. But that is only the completion of the new palace. Right now, Tomorrow, the Japanese Government Association and the officials of the Ministry of Industry will publicly commend you, so that everyone in Chang'an City will know that all of you present are honest merchants in Chang'an City. Together with the officials, I will issue the court's commendation orders to you all." Xuan Shijing said.

"Commendation order?"

These businessmen have never heard of the award order, and what is the name of the award order?what is the benefit?
"I don't know about this commendation order." A businessman looked at Xuan Shijing suspiciously, trying to figure it out.

"Everyone knows that this Xuanwu building is the property of my Xuan family, and the money pile belongs to the big shopkeeper of my family's chamber of commerce. The business of the Xuan family is not small. Why has it become more and more prosperous these years?" Xuan Shijing asked with a smile : "Everyone is in business. I have also told Qiandui about the truth of this. Doing business and dealing with people is nothing more than paying attention to the word of integrity. Now you are fully supporting the construction of Longshouyuan New Palace , Therefore, the imperial court wants to give you a benefit, that is, the imperial court recognizes that you are honest as businessmen, your integrity, official certification, and the imperial court supports your business. This is the honor given to you by the imperial court. Just imagine, this folk The common people in the country know that you are famous for your integrity in doing business. Even the imperial court has recognized it. Are you still afraid that the business will not be easy to do? With the commendation order from the imperial court, even if you do other businesses in the future, the starting point is the same. Those who are a bit higher than others, as long as you do business without breaking your conscience, the token of the imperial court's commendation will always be hung in your house and will not be taken back, and passed on to your children and grandchildren."

After being explained by Xuan Shijing in this way, the shopkeepers all understood.

This is a great benefit. With such a name, in the future when doing business in Chang'an City, once it is mentioned among the same industry, you will think of people like yourself. Will be faintly higher than peers.

Good thing, good thing!
"What's more, after you get this brand, I hope that the scattered things in your hands can be sold to the common people at [-]% of the market price. Although you can earn [-]% less in this way, this reputation always needs to be sold. I can keep up." Xuan Shijing said.

Several shopkeepers looked at each other and nodded silently.

Although the profit is [-]% less, as Xuan Shijing said, the reputation is also gained. If someone wants to buy these things in the future, the first thing that comes to mind is not only yourself, but also yourself, it doesn’t matter. What to subdivide, if subdivided further, each depends on its own ability.
