Chu Tang: Tell Li Er at the beginning that I am a time traveler

Chapter 557
"After reading it, do you have any thoughts?"

Li Chong thought that Li Zixing was also watching, so he then turned his head to look at Li Zixing who was beside him, and then asked Li Zixing.

who knows……

This Li Zixing wasn't looking at all, his big eyes were obviously looking forward.

But the answer to Li Chong was, "Ah?" ', 'What did you just say, Your Highness? '

"Let me ask you, what do you think of the little official taking money from the watermelon stall?
Seeing Li Zixing, he said, "What kind of petty official, what kind of money?"

Li Chong said, "Didn't you just watch it?"

Li Zixing looked at the figure of the little official who had gone away, and said, "Oh! I was a little lost just now. What's the matter? Did the little official take money from the watermelon stall?"

"Collect money... what do you mean?"

Li Zixing continued to ask.

With a snap, Li Chong hit his forehead with his left hand.

never mind!

Can't count on it at all.

after that……

Li Chong asked his teacher again, "What do you think, teacher?"

Liu Gongquan: "Lawless."

Li Chong: "Well! Then I'll leave this matter to you to solve. But to be on the safe side, next, I'd better go up and ask if the store owes someone money, in case this is a misunderstanding."

After listening to Li Chong's words.

Liu Gongquan couldn't help being taken aback.

can only say……

His Highness is also a little careful.

Then...

Li Chong gave Liu Gongquan another wink.

Only then did Liu Gongquan go up by himself.

soon……

Just find out the news, what is owed money.

Just being blackmailed.

But this is not to blame for being blackmailed, after all...

It looks like you are setting up a stall to operate illegally, and you are not aware of this, so what can you do.

It can only be said that those who pay the protection fee can illegally occupy the road for business.

Little officials, you can turn a blind eye to this.

otherwise……

If you don't pay the protection fee, your watermelon stand will be wiped out.

After hearing what his teacher said to him when he came back, Li Chong could only say that on the one hand, he had to sigh with emotion that in today's Tang Dynasty, the material has reached great prosperity; on the other hand, he had to admit that in many ways , there are still many deficiencies.

to be frank!
Li Chong didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

But there is one thing to say!

This should be rectified, and it must be rectified.

otherwise……

Will those shopkeepers who have paid the rent of the shop have any objections?
There are still some who are reluctant to give money, and will they rise up to resist for unknown reasons.

They might think, why are you charging me?
Why do you take my money?
However, he didn't think he was wrong in the slightest about the illegal occupation of roads.

after all……

Others also set up stalls like this.

That is to say...

The current Tang Dynasty is also facing something similar to that of later generations, even the Song Dynasty.

"Teacher, how does Tang law regulate this illegal road occupation?"

To be honest, Liu Gongquan didn't know much about this, because it involved Tang Law.

but……

If he remembered correctly.

There have indeed been more than one discussions between the DPRK and China on this kind of illegal occupation of roads, and the final result seems to be nothing.

even……

It was also proposed that a tax should be levied on those who occupy this part of the road illegally.

But the problem is...

Is this tax easy to collect?
"King Qi once suggested that taxes should be levied on these people, but..."

"But what?"

"However...His Royal Highness seems to object."

"Why?"

"Probably His Royal Highness thinks that if taxes are collected, it will affect the people's livelihood. How to collect taxes and how to set a standard is also a difficult problem. In short...every time the court discusses, it ends up being nothing. .”

Li Chong thought about it.

This is indeed a perennial problem.

after all……

Even in later generations, it's not the same.

You said that if you build a new market for them, it feels...

Not too good.

because……

This has a lot to do with geographical conditions.

Sometimes if you leave here, you won't be able to achieve the effect of the business you want.

At last……

Li Chong said: "Although there is a reason for the incident, it is best not to take advantage of the convenience of one's position to rob the people of their money."

"Otherwise, it will only get worse in the future."

Liu Gongquan: "Your Highness means..."

Li Chong said quickly: "Tell me, can it be solved by taking out food."

Speaking of...

Online shopping in later generations will almost kill physical stores.

but……

You have to admit, this is a way.

only……

With the current logistics processing capabilities, it is estimated that it will be difficult to achieve the effect of later generations.

And this melon, of course, is sweet because I picked it myself.

It's really a bit sad and unfortunate, but I can't argue with it.

If everyone could abide by the rules, such problems would naturally not exist.

This extortion, to be honest, in a sense, is what they asked for.

As for the petty official taking all the money for himself...

Li Chong felt...

Although it is not easy for him to be a petty official.

however……

This kind of collection of money other than salary, Li Zhong felt, seemed not so good.

like……

It can only be based on their own conscience.

If they have a good conscience, they might be able to rectify the order of the market while blackmailing them.

However, if they have a bad conscience, they only care about making money, regardless of market order...

Liu Gongquan could only say that he didn't quite understand, and asked, "Takeaway? What do you mean?"

Li Zhong said: "If there is something, everyone can put their own things on it for sale, and everyone can know this kind of information in their own home, just confirm the list at home, and the transaction can be completed , and then deliver the goods to the door, so many small businesses and hawkers don’t have to come out and set up stalls in person?”

That's right!

Li Zhong is talking about online shopping.

Liu Gongquan also said: "Is there such a thing?"

Li Chong: "No. But...it seems that you can try it."

of course!

Without the support of high technology, the cost of doing so may not be low.

even……

Invisibly, this cost may also increase.

Then this form of online shopping may not be able to kill physical stores.

The good thing is...

No need to go out to set up a stall.

You can sell your goods while staying at home.

And goods that meet these conditions...

Li Chong thought...

maybe, maybe...

Watermelon should be less feasible.

after all……

To be honest, the profit of watermelon is not too high, and it cannot afford such a high labor cost.

Then you can only sell some goods whose price is a bit high, even if you pay for the labor, you can still make a profit.

Immediately after...

Li Chong asked Liu Gongquan, if he wanted to do this, what would be the best way to sell it.
