Chapter 1301

The common people like to watch the excitement, and it happens that there is excitement in this Xuanwu Tower. Once the news is released, there will be a lot of people here. Xuanwu Tower is close to Dongshi. What kind of place is Dongshi? In such a place where merchants gathered, the Xuanwu Building announced such a big event, and the big shopkeepers of the chamber of commerce invited some shopkeepers to come over with their own letters. Who would dare not to reward face?
Xuan Shijing and Yan Lide came to the Xuanwu Building in person and presided over the awarding orders for these businessmen.

The content of the commendation order was drawn up by the Ministry of Industry. After Xuan Shijing and Yan Lide agreed on the brand, the people from the Ministry of Industry dared not delay, and they got the brand out overnight, and then began to rush to work on the brand that Xuan Shijing made. The wooden sign mentioned will be issued to the corvettes on Longshouyuan in a few days. Only with the wooden sign can they enter and leave the place where the new palace on Longshouyuan was built.

The Xuanwu Tower was very lively, and those businessmen who had secretly hoarded materials under the orders of the master also came to the Xuanwu Tower after hearing the news. Now at this juncture, Xuan Shijing, as the supervisor of the new palace, every move is enough to attract their attention , not to mention Yan Lide, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

These people are here to inquire about the news, to see if Xuan Shijing and the Ministry of Industry are going to do something wrong. After all, the imperial court will pay for the things they stockpile in their hands. The action of the Ministry of Industry depends on It's better to be careful.

In the hall on the first floor of Xuanwu Building, a half-person high platform was set up, which could accommodate more than 30 people. Chairs were placed on both sides of the platform, and those businessmen invited by Xuan Shijing sat on two sides. side.

Xuan Shijing and Yan Lide were sitting in the middle, with a clerk from the Ministry of Industry beside them carrying a tray, on which were neatly placed twelve plaques made of sterling silver.

"Everyone." Yan Lide stood up from his chair and walked to the middle of the table.

As soon as Yan Lide opened his mouth to speak, the surroundings became quiet. He listened carefully to Yan Lide's speech on the stage. After all, he was a high-ranking official of the Ministry of Industry, and he was majestic wherever he stood in an official robe.

"Everyone knows that the imperial court is now building a new palace on Longshouyuan." Yan Lide stood in the middle of the stage, explained the matter clearly, and spared no effort to praise the businessmen on the stage who supported the construction of the new palace.

"In order to show the imperial court's approval of these well-understood merchants, our Ministry of Industry specially made twelve silver medals to reward." Yan Lide said, walked to the clerk of the Ministry of Industry, and put the red plate covered on the tray in his hand. The cloth was uncovered, picked up a silver medal from the tray, walked around the table for a week, and showed the silver medal to the people below.

The silver plate was written "Certified by the Imperial Court, Trusted Merchant", and the people below saw it clearly, word of mouth, even though the merchants sitting on the second floor couldn't see clearly, they sent their servants down to inquire.

When the boy came back again, the news he brought surprised the businessmen.

As soon as this brand was issued, it represented that these merchants stood out in Chang'an City. For those merchants on the platform, their reputation in the entire Guanzhong and even in the Tang Dynasty would be greatly improved.

The merchants traveled from south to north, selling goods from south to north, and the news was the most well-informed. Today's matter, within a few hours, will spread throughout the entire Chang'an City, and within three to five days, it will spread in half a month. Datang, it only takes two or three months.

Some merchants on the second floor were sitting there, watching in horror that Xuan Shijing personally handed over the silver medals to those merchants, and those merchants also took the plaques with a smile on their faces. good show.

This is a good show, but it frightened those businessmen with malicious intentions.

Maybe in the material business, the people behind them can find a way to make the court compromise and make a lot of money, but from now on, the business of this family will be difficult to do, whether it is material business or other things For business, those businessmen on the stage are in Chang'an City, and they are bound to firmly overwhelm them.

Some businessmen sitting on the second floor felt a little regretful in their hearts. The money was earned, but what the chamber of commerce lost was other things. Now, the materials in their hands became a hammer bought and sold.

Their concerns were both right and wrong, because Xuan Shijing would not let them sell the materials hoarded in their hands.

If you want to harm others, you will eventually harm yourself.

There is nothing wrong with merchants hoarding goods for their own benefit, but it is a big mistake to maliciously oppose the court and try to make the court pay the bill by virtue of their relationship.

Xuan Shijing was much more straightforward than Yan Lide. After standing on the stage and awarding the silver medals to these merchants, he bluntly told the people who came to watch the fun that these merchants were very honest in their business, had good character and were trustworthy. All the people present took good care of their business.

Xuan Shijing's words cast a heavy blow on today's affairs. A father-in-law, here as a guarantee for these merchants, although a little self-deprecating, the effect is not generally good, and many people present responded one after another.

The relationship between merchants is like a spider's web. Chang'an City is so big, and there are only a dozen or dozens of well-known merchants. Who is the best?When doing a line of business, who is good and who is not, some of the common people know what they are doing, some are not, and those who are not, after hearing what happened in the Xuanwu Building today, they also know it .

This matter is like an advertisement, and it is widely advertised, not to mention how these businessmen are doing, it is fame, and it is a step further.

A total of twelve silver medals were made, but only nine were given out, and Xuan Shijing put away the other three in front of everyone.

These three are used for fishing. It is also the last way Xuan Shijing left for those people. They can choose not to go, but once this matter is over, there will be no chance of turning back.

The several merchants who won the silver medals gathered together and simply opened a banquet in the Xuanwu Building today to celebrate, and they also made a great momentum. Since they want to make a name for themselves, they should have a more thorough one.

The Xuanwu Tower is close to the East Market, and there is an endless stream of pedestrians in the East Market. These people want to hold a water banquet in the Xuanwu Tower, who would not be greedy?That Xuanwu Tower is not something that ordinary people can afford.

These nine businessmen partnered to open a water banquet, and the pile of money was also among the nine people. Naturally, the cost was based on the cost price, and it didn't cost a lot of money, so don't feel bad.

In this way, it didn't take much time for everyone in Chang'an City to know that these nine merchants got the imperial court's brand name, what a proud thing.

The shopkeepers who were originally sitting on the second floor and wanted to watch the show couldn't sit still, and regardless of the free food they could eat, they hurriedly left the Xuanwu Building with the servants under their hands.
