Datang: Hiding private money, exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 644 So! This purchasing power!
Han Min heard Shen Lian's voice and turned to look.

Seeing Shen Lian right behind him, he quickly made way for him and said, "Sir Shen, there is still some time before the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce is convened. How come you are here so early?"

Shen Lian smiled and said, "Yesterday, I had already arranged everything for the Dali Temple. I didn't think about going to the Dali Temple today, so I came here since I had nothing to do."

He looked at the people caught by the yamen runners and asked, "What happened to them?"

"The Wanbang Chamber of Commerce is about to be held. You are arresting people at the door of the Chamber of Commerce. Be careful not to cause any bad influence."

Han Min said hurriedly: "We don't want to arrest anyone here either."

"But these people are really hateful."

"I don't know where they heard nonsense that once the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce is held, the flow of goods from other countries into the Tang Dynasty will squeeze the living space of ordinary people in the Tang Dynasty. So they came here to make trouble and even threw eggs into the venue."

"So I have no choice but to control them first."

"In a little while, members of the caravans from various countries will arrive."

"If people from other countries saw this, wouldn't it be a disgrace to our Tang Dynasty?"

When Shen Lian heard this, his eyes flashed slightly.

He looked at the people who were being controlled.

I found that these people were not too old.

The average age is around 20 years old.

At this time, they were controlled by the yamen runners, but they looked uneasy.

They even saw Shen Lian looking at them and glared at him viciously.

Shen Lian just found it interesting.

He has solved countless cases and fought against vicious organizations like the Beidou Society many times, but no one would dare to glare at him so viciously after being caught!

These guys are really courageous.

Shen Lian looked at these people and said, "Do you know what you are doing?"

Upon hearing this, these young people immediately raised their heads and said, "Of course we know!"

"You dog officials are going to destroy the Tang Dynasty!"

"That's right. Bringing foreign goods into the Tang Dynasty, do you know that this will seriously squeeze our own goods? By then, we ordinary people won't be able to sell our goods at all, or we won't be able to sell them at a high price!"

"You are letting a wolf into the house!"

"It's hard to explain it to them. These stupid dog officials only think that they have done a great job, but they don't know that they are destroying the Tang Dynasty!"

"You dog officials, if you have any conscience, you should immediately stop the convening of the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce!"

"That's right, stop it now!"

These young people kept calling the officials "dog officials".

This made Han Min's face change slightly, and he quickly scolded: "Shut up!"

"Do you know who is in front of you?"

"Master Han, there is no need to stop them."

Shen Lian raised his hand to stop Han Min from speaking.

He looked at these passionate young people and felt some emotion in his heart.

It is true that no matter what era, there are always many passionate young people.

only……

Shen Lian's eyes flashed.

His eyes were somewhat sharp.

It would be bad if you use your passion in the wrong place.

However, if someone takes advantage of their passion and uses them as a gun, that would be even worse.

Shen Lian looked at these young people and said, "I understand what you mean."

"You don't want to cause trouble."

"You just think that once the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce is held, we will introduce goods from other countries, which will reduce our purchases of goods from ordinary people, thus affecting the income of ordinary people, right?"

The young man looked at Shen Lian with some surprise.

The leader was a man who looked a bit thorny. He said, "I didn't expect that you could understand us!"

"We just talked to this fat guy for so long, but he just didn't understand us and said we were talking nonsense!"

Shen Lian said calmly: "It's okay, I can understand you."

"But there is one thing I'm curious about."

"what?"

Seeing that Shen Lian was able to communicate, they felt better.

Shen Lian narrowed his eyes and asked, "Who told you these words?"

"Who told you to stop the meeting of the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce instead of taking action before it happened?"

When saying this, Shen Lian appeared calm on the surface.

But my heart is already filled with coldness!
Although he didn't have much contact with these young people.

But with Shen Lian's wisdom, he could naturally judge that these young people were simply being used as guns.

Their intentions are good.

They are all for the Tang Dynasty and for the common people!
However, their enthusiasm was taken advantage of by others!
Someone deliberately drove them to do such things to destroy the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce on the day when the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce was convened!

And the purpose is self-evident.

On the one hand, it is to disrupt the convening of the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce.

On the other hand, I didn't want to let these passionate young people have an easy time.

After all, the person behind the scenes couldn't possibly not know what kind of punishment these people would receive if they came to disrupt the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce on the day of its opening!
These passionate young people have really been sold out, and they are still counting money for others!

It seems that you are full of passion and sincerity, but in fact, you are treated like a pig!
These young people didn’t know what Shen Lian was thinking. At this moment, they just felt that they could communicate with the official in front of them.

Therefore, they were also willing to talk about these things with Shen Lian.

They tried to pull Shen Lian into their team to oppose the convening of the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce.

At this time, the young man in the lead said: "No one told us these words, we came up with them ourselves!"

Others echoed.

"Yes, isn't this obvious? Do we need others to tell us?"

"We can know it just by thinking about it. We don't need anyone to tell us!"

Shen Lian looked at them calmly.

He didn't say anything.

Just watching these young people quietly.

Shen Lian's eyes were deep and dark. Being stared at by him was like a black hole that was about to suck everyone in.

It gives people a feeling that all the deepest secrets in their hearts have been seen through.

This made these young people's voices very loud at the beginning.

But slowly, the sound became smaller and smaller.

In the end, no one dared to look at Shen Lian, and no one spoke again.

Shen Lian looked at them, sighed, and said, "I really want to hear what you have to say. I want to hear you tell the truth, not lies."

"Since you think what you say is correct, why don't you tell the truth?"

"Not telling the truth only proves that you are unsure."

These words directly annoyed these young people.

Someone looked up and said, "What we said is right, not wrong!"

"That's right, we are not unsure, we are just... just worried that you will take revenge on him!"

"Yes, we stopped you from making a contribution. Once you know who told us, you will definitely take revenge on him!" "We are trying to protect him!"

Shen Lian looked at them and said calmly: "I can assure you that I will not retaliate against anyone. At the same time, I will also talk to you properly."

"But you guys want to tell the truth, how about that?"

These young people were a little hesitant.

Someone looked at Shen Lian and said, "You officials, I don't trust you. Who knows if you will say one thing in front of others and another behind their backs—"

"Bold, do you know who is in front of you?"

Han Min said: "This is Lord Tang, the smartest man in Tang, and is called the blue sky by countless people. Do you think Lord Shen would deceive you?

Shen Lian did not stop Han Min this time.

And these young people heard Shen Lian's name.

Suddenly, his eyes quickly turned to Shen Lian.

They couldn't help but reveal surprise and shock on their faces!

Then, there was a look of excitement and excitement.

"Master Shen, are you really Master Shen!?"

"Master Qingtian, Lord Shen?"

"The Lord Shen who solved countless unjust cases and revealed the truth of countless cases?"

"The Lord Shen who is not afraid of power and only seeks the truth?"

Shen Lian looked at them and smiled: "Although I really want to be modest, what you said is true."

"So do you believe my promise now? Are you willing to tell me the truth?"

The young men looked at each other.

next moment.

They nodded almost simultaneously.

The leader said: "We don't trust other officials, but Lord Shen is the only one we trust!"

"So, if it's Lord Shen's promise, we are willing to say it!"

When Jingzhao Yin Han Min saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Lord Shen is Lord Shen!

What others can't do, Lord Shen can do easily!

He has been arresting these people for a while.

He had been asking for quite a while, but these people said nothing except calling him a dog official.

I couldn't get a single word out of my question for a long time.

This made Han Min ready to put them in jail first.

But unexpectedly, as soon as Shen Lian arrived, they spoke without any hesitation.

It is true that there is no harm without comparison!

But Han Min was not jealous at all. After all, he knew very well that Lord Shen's influence and reputation today were entirely the result of his own abilities!
Han Min never feels jealous of what she has gained through her own abilities.

I can only admire!

Shen Lian looked at these passionate young people and said, "Then tell me, who told you this?"

The leading young man took a deep breath and said, "The one who told us this was the great scholar Fang Ping."

"Great scholar Fang Ping?"

Information about the great scholar Fang Ping quickly appeared in Shen Lian's mind.

The great scholar Fang Ping is in his fifties.

Scholar status.

Although he was only a scholar, it was not that he failed the subsequent imperial examination, but that he did not take part in the subsequent imperial examination.

According to Fang Ping, he knew that his abilities were limited, and even if he became an official, he might not be able to achieve great political achievements.

So it’s better to do what you are good at.

Therefore, after passing the examination, he stopped taking the imperial examination, built a school and started teaching.
.

His decades of teaching career have given him a lot of students.

Their own reputation and status have also been greatly enhanced because of the success of these students.

In recent years, he has even joined the ranks of great scholars and is considered a relatively successful scholar.

However, as the imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an City is a gathering place for talents, so there are many great scholars. As a result, Fang Ping's status in Chang'an City is just so-so.

Not too outstanding.

But Da Ru is a great scholar after all, and he still has a lot of influence.

Especially for these young readers, every word and action will affect their cognition and way of dealing with things.

Is this not?

These passionate young people, scholars who speak their minds, are now being influenced and becoming irrational.

All this information and ideas appeared in Shen Lian's mind in an instant.

Shen Lian did not pause at all. He said, "What did Fang Ping tell you?"

The young man in the lead said: "Fang Daru told us that Datang has now achieved a relatively good model of self-production and self-sales."

“The people and small traders who work hard and succeed can sell their products to others, so that ordinary people can also gain some benefits.”

"But if we allow goods from other countries to come in, it will squeeze the fruits of ordinary people's hard work, making it impossible for them to sell their goods, which will result in them being unable to make money and becoming increasingly poor, and eventually shaking the foundation of the Tang Dynasty!"

He looked at Shen Lian and said, "Sir Shen, you are the smartest man in the Tang Dynasty. You must understand this principle!"

"So you should quickly find a way to stop the Wanbang Chamber of Commerce. This is a bad thing that will shake our country!"

Shen Lian looked at the young man and said in a gentle and persuasive manner: "What he said does make sense."

The young man was just delighted.

But Shen Lian continued: "But it's too biased, too incomplete, and too ridiculous!"

"what?"

These people were all stunned.

They couldn't help but look at Shen Lian in shock.

Shen Lian said calmly, "The influx of goods from other countries into our Tang Dynasty will indeed affect the purchase of our local goods. This is a fact."

"But...you seem to have forgotten one thing."

"what?"

They asked subconsciously.

Shen Lian looked at them and said, "Goods from other countries can enter the Tang Dynasty, so why can't goods from the Tang Dynasty enter other countries?"

As soon as these words came out.

This made these young people's eyes widen.

They are all scholars, and scholars are not too stupid. They can be exploited because of their passion and enthusiasm, but it does not mean that they are stupid.

So when Shen Lian said this, he immediately understood!

Shen Lian looked at their expressions and said calmly: "The Alliance of Nations has more than 120 countries. Their combined population is dozens of times that of our Tang Dynasty."

"Then, once the goods from our Tang Dynasty are sold, it will be equivalent to dozens of times more purchasing power."

"so……"

Shen Lian looked at them and said, "Shouldn't this be the result of the hard work of ordinary people in our Tang Dynasty, with better sales? So, how come it is possible that they will die of poverty as you said?"

Shen Lian looked at them and said, "Shouldn't this be the result of the hard work of ordinary people in our Tang Dynasty, with better sales? So, how come it is possible that they will die of poverty as you said?"
