Chapter 221 Volume Two(2/3)

The young man said with a smile on his face: "Of course it is true, can His Highness Prince Ming still lie to others?"

This is true.

It would be funny if the prince of the Tang Dynasty broke his promise.

To these people, Prince Ming's identity is no longer a secret.

So, this is still believable.

"Let's go and have a look." Everyone was also smiling when they heard that there was such a good thing.

I immediately looked at each shop one by one.

After a while, everyone found a good shop.

The young people also came prepared and carried the contract with them. As long as someone took a fancy to the store, they would immediately take out the contract and sign it with them on the spot.

By the afternoon, the street where Changming Restaurant was originally open suddenly had about twenty shops selling all kinds of things.

People in the valley heard that a shop was open in the outer city, and many people came out to take a look out of curiosity.

For a time, it was extremely lively outside the city.

Li Chengqian watched this scene from the top of the city and finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Ming Dynasty's business had finally taken off.

However, since the things they brought this time were really not the normal things in ordinary people's lives, the business was really bleak.

Although many people in the valley went out to join in the fun, there were really not many places to spend money...

In other words, grain stores and drug stores, which are close to daily life, do a little bit of business.

Everyone had expected this, but fortunately the shop was rent-free this year, so there were no expenses, so everyone just remained in a stalemate.

However, they also discovered that these people in Riyue Mountain did not have money, but that the things they wanted to buy were not available to anyone else.

Things like needles, threads, and brains that are close to life.

The question is, who brings that thing?

That night, everyone began to discuss the opening of Changming Trading Company the day after tomorrow.

This business must be done. If you don't do a profitable business, you really deserve to be struck by lightning.

With Wang Dequan's reminder, everyone actually felt a lot more at ease.

A family can't afford that much money, but can't it be possible for so many families to come together?

However, what they didn't know was that that night, Li Chengqian was assigning tasks to Pu Xiruo, Li Qinjian and others, asking them to organize people to go to those shops to make purchases.

The truck will be loaded and shipped the day after tomorrow, so we can't really let them have no money to purchase the goods, right?

Anyway, it's all about the left hand and the right hand, so Li Chengqian is not willing to do it.

Therefore, on the second day, everyone was surprised to find that today's business was not much better than yesterday.

In one day, each store sold hundreds of goods, which made everyone very happy.

On the third day, when Changming Commercial Bank officially opened for business, the scene was called crazy.

It was really like carrying the money bag and rushing in.

Li Chengqian was still watching this scene from the top of the city, but today, there were more people around him.

There are Yuchi Baolin, Changsun Chong, Xiao Yue and others.

"Your Highness, what is it that is so magical that it can make them so crazy?"

Changsun Chong didn't understand. He even saw his own people crowding at the entrance of Changming Trading Company.

"You haven't gone out to take a look in the past two days?" Li Chengqian was a little confused.

Changsun Chong said helplessly: "Didn't His Highness say before that Chang'an's caravan will be received outside the city in the past two days, so we should not go to the restaurant to cause trouble..."

Changsun Chong was speechless when he mentioned the word "causing chaos".

What are these words?

When did we become a group of guys causing trouble?

Li Chengqian touched his forehead and said, "Did I say that?"

He couldn't remember either. He was so busy recently and had to talk so much every day. Who could remember such little things?

Changsun Chong felt helpless.

Forget it, stop talking.

"It's just some paper. It's not magical. By the way, it's the kind of paper you use recently." Li Chengqian explained.

When they heard that it was this thing, everyone was suddenly not interested. One of them said that the paper they used in Chang'an was better than this.

Seeing their reaction like this, Li Chengqian didn't bother to explain to them.

After watching for a while, Li Chengqian was no longer interested and left.

In Changming Trading Company, the clerk said: "Don't crowd, don't crowd, there is something for everyone."

Given the price, everyone had already expected such a reaction, so the preparations were very thorough.

Before noon, everyone loaded the paper they bought into the carriage, then handed over the orders to each family's clerks, and then rushed towards Chang'an without stopping.

What they didn't know was that as early as last night, Wang Dequan had already taken a step ahead with a batch of paper.

Since Li Chengqian said that the retail price of paper is ten cents per dollar, he will naturally implement this price.

If he didn't go to Chang'an to take charge, would these guys really sell ten coins?

Therefore, he had no choice but to go through this.

As for the Ming Dynasty court, they are not worried and can continue to do business. There are just a few clerks anyway.

Just after the caravan left, Wang Xuance returned.

Although Wang Xuance is now serving as the Minister of Rites, his work is still in the camp outside the mountain. His main purpose is to manage the herdsmen in the camp who have just surrendered to the Ming Dynasty.

"What happened?" Li Chengqian asked when Wang Xuance came back.

Wang Xuance said: "No, it was He Lu who sent someone to express his surrender again. He is now in the mountains a hundred miles west of our camp."

"That camp outside Riyue Mountain?" Li Chengqian asked.

Wang Xuance nodded and said, "Yes."

"This guy is interesting." Li Chengqian said, "Okay, don't worry about him."

"Then he will surrender?" Wang Xuance asked.

Li Chengqian shook his head: "Ignore him, how is your work there recently?"

"The progress is going smoothly, but many people want to move to Riyue Mountain, but they still feel that the camp is too dangerous." Speaking of this, Wang Xuance also had a headache, "Also, maybe it's because I heard that Murong Shun wanted to

After wanting to defect to the Tang Dynasty, more and more tribes want to defect to our Ming Dynasty court recently, and the screening work is getting harder and harder to do."

"It is impossible to move to Riyue Mountain." Li Chengqian refused directly, "You tell them that only those who have made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty are allowed to move to the outer city of Riyue Mountain. As for how to make meritorious services, they understand.

By the way, how is the progress of the matter that I said before that their children could enter the Ming Dynasty Chinese Studies?"

Wang Xuance wondered: "It is still under review. The main reason is that everyone wants to send their children to Daming Chinese Studies. There are too many people, so the review is quite troublesome."

"Okay." Li Chengqian waved his hand and said, "I told Wang Jin at that time that there is no limit to the number of places. How can you specifically review the two of you? Why do so many things happen?

We are here to appease people's hearts, not to select the top pick. Why do we need such strict review?

That's it, when you go back, pick the first person to sign up and send half of it first, otherwise if you keep delaying like this, others will think you are perfunctory with them."

Wang Xuance hesitated a little and said: "That is Ming Dynasty Chinese Studies after all, Your Highness."

"Don't I know that this is Ming Dynasty Chinese Studies?" Li Chengqian never expected that Wang Xuance was such a stubborn person, "Tell me, why do we want those children to enter Ming Dynasty Chinese Studies?

Do you really expect them to become generals and prime ministers after a few years of studying Chinese traditional culture?

The essence of why we let them enter Ming Dynasty Chinese Studies is to appease the herdsmen and to let them know that we try to be fair and equal in treating them.

As for whether those children can learn anything after entering Ming Dynasty Chinese Studies, that is not the most important thing.

Our top priority has never been this.

If the relationship between those herders and our Ming Dynasty court cannot be properly handled, that would be the most fatal thing."

"Wei Chen understands." Wang Xuance said.

Of course, even though he said that, he still didn't understand.

There's no way to explain this thing.

Knowledge is sacred in the eyes of these people.

The opportunity to study is hard-won.

He couldn't understand that Li Chengqian threw away the opportunity to study so casually.

After all, it wasn't that simple when he was studying.

Seeing Wang Xuance's reaction, Li Chengqian knew that this guy still didn't understand, so he didn't explain too much at the moment and said, "Go and do your work first."
