This prince, it doesn't matter if you don't do it!

Chapter 540
The opening of the port market is actually not that complicated, and the officials of the Tang Dynasty represented by Changsun Wuji have not been very enthusiastic, so Daming will not really open the market so grandly and make it hot-faced. Like other people's cold asses.

At this moment, Puxiruo saw that Li Chengqian had also come, and the arrogance of Changsun Wuji and others had also subsided, and immediately started to work on the opening of the port.

In general, the opening of the port did not take too long except for some necessary procedures.

After finishing all the procedures, Puxi Ruo said with a smile: "Duke Qi, the port is open today, why don't you say a few words to the big guys?"

"Forget it." After speaking, Changsun Wuji walked over, looked at the many merchants gathered outside the city, and said with a smile, "Today is a good day, so I will just say a few words.

Those who can come here must have benefited from Tang Ming's business path in the past two years.

You don’t need to hide this, because you’re talking about business, if you don’t make money, what business do you still do?
So, I sincerely hope that everyone can make money and make more money, but I just hope that after making money, you will not forget your roots.

Of course, while making money, I would also like to warn you that you must abide by the laws of the Tang and Ming Dynasties, and never violate the laws of the country for petty profits..."

Changsun Wuji talked for a long time, and there was a lot of nonsense, but in fact, there were only a few words that were really useful.

At that moment, those merchants heard the words and shook their heads secretly: "I'm afraid the days to come will be sad."

"Who says it's not?" A businessman immediately said helplessly, "The two countries are starting to fight, and it's not us businessmen who are suffering? Let me tell you, let's do business this time, or don't come this way!"

"Yes." Someone echoed, "Although the goods from Daming can make money, they have to be transported back to Datang to make money, but Datang..."

Having said that, everyone shook their heads.

Isn't Datang in the hands of people like Changsun Wuji?
And the laws of the Tang Dynasty are not up to them?
At this point, everyone shook their heads, quite helplessly.

Changsun Wuji's words were real despair to them.

When Li Chengqian saw this scene, he smiled, and he guessed that Changsun Wuji would not honestly engage in any business competition. People in politics would not use their strengths to avoid weaknesses. The biggest weapon in their hands is power!
Do you really think they will play some legitimate competition with you?
"How can Duke Qi be so shameless?" Behind him, Yuchi Baolin, who also understood Changsun Wuji's routine, was filled with righteous indignation, "If he threatens those merchants so blatantly, isn't he afraid that these merchants will unite?"

After he finished speaking, Chang Sun Chong was a little bit red-faced. Although he didn't like his own Aye's actions, after all, they were both father and son, and he also felt ashamed for Chang Sun Wuji.

What's the matter with business competition and using power to force it?
Losing is not open.

Li Chengqian didn't take it seriously, smiled, and said: "It's not shameless. Besides, how can you say that people are shameless when they manage the people under their own control on their own land?"

After saying that, Li Chengqian looked at Changsun Chong and said with a smile, "Okay, you don't have to put on such a face, the reason why this king brought you here today is to let you see what it means to be an official.

Although you have been an official for several years, you are still far from the real pillars. "

"I would like to be taught." Changsun Chong and the others immediately bowed to salute upon hearing this.

Seeing this, Li Chengqian didn't say much anymore, but looked over there with interest.

At this time, Pusiruo also smiled and said: "What the Duke of Qi said is true, the commerce between the two countries is a good thing that benefits the people of the two countries. Only by exchanging what is there can we promote economic development and improve the quality of life of the common people."

Of course, Pusiruo knew about Changsun Wuji's sinister intentions, but as Li Chengqian said, there was no way to do it. They really couldn't interfere with other people governing their own people on their own land, but Pusiro did not. Not too careful.

Although Changsun Wuji uttered harsh words in front of everyone, he forgot that it is the nature of a businessman to seek profit!
The more severe the blockage, the greater the benefits. When the benefits reach a certain level, many people will take the risk, not to mention being convicted, even if they risk beheading.

At the beginning, it was not that he and Li Qinjian had discussed what Changsun Wuji would do. At that time, Li Qinjian had carefully analyzed this matter as a former businessman.

Throughout the dynasties and dynasties, few businessmen who really made a fortune were clean.

So he really didn't take Changsun Wuji's threat seriously.

He even hoped that his eldest grandson Wuji would do this. At that time, the conflict between the merchants of the Tang Dynasty and the court would increase, and Daming would be able to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

"Okay, it's useless to talk about a lot of things. Since the port is open, of course we have to talk about the goods." Puxiuo laughed, "Duke Qi, how about we unveil this plaque together?"

Changsun Wuji heard the words and said with a smile, "That's exactly what I mean."

After saying that, the two walked under the door of the east gate, stood on both sides, pulled the two red silks hanging from the top of the door, looked at each other, and pulled hard at the same time.

I saw the four characters of "Treatment Port" engraved on the plaque on the door.

At the same time, Li Qinjian also ordered people to uncover the red silk on the pillars on both sides of the east gate. In an instant, a pair of couplets caught everyone's eyes.

Shanglian Road: Goods with a good reputation are worthy of profit in the market.

Xialiandao: There are many shops with hundreds of households, and they often benefit the people from small things.

"Everyone, today the treaty port jointly built by Tang and Ming is officially opened. For this reason, my Ming Dynasty will launch more than ten kinds of new products including glass and fertilizer. Here, I hope you can find your own satisfaction from it." Goods, and I hope everyone can prosper in business and make money."

After finishing speaking, Pusiruo cupped his hands towards the crowd, then took a deep breath, and said loudly, "The market is open..."

With his sound, the gongs and drums that had been prepared for a long time suddenly sounded.

For a time, the entire east gate was filled with gongs and drums.

And with the official opening of the port, the already impatient merchants went straight to the West Market.

There's no way, those fresh things like glass are in the West Market, and even if they don't buy these new things, they want to see if they are. (I made a mistake in the previous writing. The glass and fertilizers are placed in the West Market. The principle is the same as that of supermarkets in later generations. I may have been kicked by a donkey at the time and wrote it as East Market.)
Seeing a group of businessmen rushing in, Pusiruo ordered Li Qinjian to arrange people to follow, and then walked towards Li Chengqian.

And Changsun Wuji also brought people over at this moment.

"The eldest grandson Wuji of the Foreign Minister is meeting with the two Highnesses."

The rest also saluted together.

"Exemption." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "Today, it is my great blessing that all of you can come to our Daming in person for the matter of the port.

Although the king of Japan is passing by today, he should also entertain the officials of the Tang Dynasty. Don't let people think that I, Ming Dynasty, have no way to entertain guests. "

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I have already ordered the Changming Restaurant in the port to prepare the banquet. Your Highness can leave at any time." Pusiruo still had nothing to say about his work, and the banquet was prepared early.

Li Chengqian nodded when he heard the words, and said: "Then let's go together, just as we are eating, we are waiting for what kind of answer sheet the port will hand us today."

After all, Li Chengqian led Changle and walked ahead.

Changsun Wuji and the others also hurriedly followed.

When everyone entered through the east gate again, the shops on both sides of the street were deserted.

The entire street, except for the patrolling soldiers, was so desolate beyond words.

Li Chengqian didn't care about this either.

Now, those merchants are probably going to Ximen to watch the excitement, which is normal.

But Changsun Wuji and others were quite satisfied when they saw this scene.

Their idea is very simple, it is okay to watch, but it can only be watched.

After walking for a short time, everyone came to the Changming Restaurant at the crossroads of the port.

Now Changming Restaurant is developing extremely fast, not to mention Daming, even Datang has opened dozens of branches in the past two years.

"See Your Highness." As soon as the shopkeeper of the restaurant saw Li Chengqian, he immediately greeted him. Li Chengqian just nodded slightly, and the shopkeeper immediately took everyone to a box on the second floor facing the street.

"Let's serve." Li Chengqian said with a smile, "Well, don't embarrass me by entertaining the officials of the Tang Dynasty today."

The shopkeeper laughed and said, "Your Highness, don't worry, my Changming Restaurant has never made any mistakes in this regard."

After all, the shopkeeper bowed and left.

"That's true." Changsun Wuji also smiled when he saw the shopkeeper retreating, "Who in the world today doesn't know that Changming Restaurant has its own style of food? Even in Datang, Changming Restaurant is the only one there. .”

Li Chengqian smiled without saying a word. For formal occasions, there must be formal rules.

But Chang Le didn't pay much attention, immediately smiled and said: "Uncle is right, but if you really want to say the best food, it has to be the food of Daming Palace."

Changle is really sensible, since he came here, he has been quietly staying by Li Chengqian's side, that is, after he arrived at the restaurant, he only accepted what Changsun Wuji said.

Of course, this is also the reason why Li Chengqian brought her here.

For the time being, he doesn't want to make the relationship too stiff with Changsun Wuji, it would be much better if Changle made jokes.

"His Royal Highness, the longer the princess, the more beautiful she is." Seeing this, Changsun Wuji laughed immediately.

"That's right." Hearing what Changsun Wuji said, Changle was even happier, and said with a smile, "Elder brother said that I am the most beautiful in Ming Dynasty!"

After staying away from the Chang'an Imperial Palace, although Changle lost a lot, she also gained a lot. Today, she is really like a child in later generations, carefree, especially when Daming annexed the entire Tuyuhun, officially in the Northwest Station After she stabilized her feet, she was obviously much happier.

If it were like before, she would definitely not say that.

It can only be said that following Li Chengqian to this bitter cold place in the northwest is a blessing or a curse for her, it's hard to say.

Changsun Wuji was also taken aback, he was a little surprised by the changes in Changle, and wondered, did this Li Chengqian abolish Changle?
Li Chengqian didn't take it seriously, he patted Chang Le's little head fondly, and said with a smile: "This little guy was spoiled by this king, everyone, don't mind."

"The eldest princess is still a child after all, so she should be more innocent." The Tang officials represented by Changsun Wuji laughed immediately.

That's what he said, but people like Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang felt that Li Chengqian had abolished Changle.

How can the dignified eldest princess of Ming Dynasty be so ignorant of the rules?

In Datang, not to mention the princess, but the women in their house, who is not well-behaved?

Let's not talk about the matter of her sitting next to Li Chengqian, but how can a little girl interrupt easily when the grown-up is talking?Not big or small, just like a wild girl.

Seeing their reaction, Li Chengqian knew that it was counterproductive for him to count on Changle to make jokes to cheer up the atmosphere, but he didn't mind either.

He just didn't want to make the relationship too stiff with Changsun Wuji temporarily, but it didn't mean that he was afraid of making the relationship too stiff with Changsun Wuji.

But in this way, the atmosphere on the wine table became awkward.

It wasn't until the guys started serving the dishes that the atmosphere eased a bit.

"Your Highness, the port is open today. According to Your Highness, what kind of answer sheet can you hand in today?" Changsun Wuji asked after drinking and eating.

After Li Chengqian poured a glass of fruit juice for Changle, he smiled and said, "Why, is Qi Guogong not optimistic about this trade port?"

Ha ha……

Changsun Wuji sneered in his heart, isn't the old man optimistic?

"Of course not." Although he thought so in his heart, he said in his mouth, "It's just that the old man is more curious about how much the transaction volume can be today?

After all, if the trade port built with the efforts of our two countries does not have a satisfactory answer, it will not sound good if it is spread, and it will even affect other ports in your country, and even affect the confidence of various countries in Ming Dynasty. "

"Is it really a combination of the strengths of the two countries?" Li Chengqian asked without answering, "How did I hear that from the construction of this trade port to the present, the Tang Dynasty has not even invested a penny?
Today, all the shops in the port are run by merchants of my Ming Dynasty, and all the land is also my Daming territory, including the Changming restaurant where you are now, that is my property, this king wants to Ask, is this what Qi Guogong said about gathering the power of the two countries?

Could it be that Datang still wants to swallow half of the industry in this port on the basis of nothing?

If this is the case, according to Qi Guogong's words, then when the Ming Dynasty destroyed Xue Yantuo, can this king also think that it was the result of the combined efforts of the two countries? "

"How can Your Highness understand this?" Changsun Wuji said sullenly, "Could it be that the Great Ming annexed Tuyuhun and captured the Western Turks, so we, the Tang Dynasty, can also reap the benefits?"

"Presumptuous!" As soon as Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Changsun Chong who was sitting across from him immediately shouted angrily, "Duke Qi is planning to plot against my court!

Or, is Qi Guogong representing Datang and wanting to fight against me, Daming? "

I……

When Changsun Wuji saw Changsun rushing to shoot the crime, he almost vomited out a mouthful of old blood immediately.

Evil son!

This scoundrel!

Suppressing the anger in his heart, Changsun Wuji said: "You bastard! I'm just worried about whether today's port can achieve the expected goal. There are so many ways you say."

He finally found out that Li Chengqian did it on purpose, so he had no choice but to bring the topic back.

When Li Chengqian saw Changsun Chong get up, he nodded imperceptibly to him.

After Chang Sun Chong understood it, he sneered and said, "Then why don't I make a bet with Duke Qi?"

"What bet?" Changsun Wuji was a little dazed.

Where is this sung?
"Just bet on whether today's port can hand over a satisfactory answer sheet." Changsun Chong said.

Upon hearing his words, Changsun Wuji looked at Li Chengqian in surprise, and said in his heart, you are really ruthless!
"To gamble or not to gamble!" Chang Sun Chong asked, regardless of the amount.

"So what about gambling!" Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth, but his eyes always looked at Li Chengqian unconsciously, but he really hated him in his heart.

Li Chengqian is really too ruthless, originally everything is under his control, but now it has become a battle between their father and son?
