Chapter 538 Volume 5 The Ming Dynasty never cheated the poor

Things have always been like this, either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind overpowers the east wind.

Changsun Wuji and others wanted to seize the Ming Dynasty's business share through this battle, so as to establish a foothold in the northwest and build an important northwest town with commerce as the cornerstone.

Thus achieving the effect of shocking Ming Dynasty.

And Li Chengqian also wanted to take this opportunity to plan something that he had been planning for a long time.

In general, both sides have their own agendas and agendas.

Next, it depends on who can truly gain the upper hand in this contest.

When Changsun Wuji and his entourage entered the market, Li Qinjian immediately greeted them.

"Everyone has finally arrived. I have been waiting for you for a long time." Li Qinjian immediately came forward with a cheerful face.

Although Changsun Wuji looked down on Li Qinjian, he looked very happy at this moment: "I have made Li Shangshu wait for a long time. Today is the opening of the trade port between our two countries. I, the Taohe County official, can come."

They are all here, which shows how much I, the Tang Dynasty, attaches great importance to them!"

Hearing what he said, Li Qinjian understood immediately. This was implying that Ming Dynasty did not pay attention to him, and even looked down on him, Li Qinjian.

If he just looked down on him, Li Qinjian, he wouldn't say anything.

Indeed, as far as Changsun Wuji's identity is concerned, he is indeed not qualified, but if you want to say that Ming Dynasty is not good, then it will not work. Immediately, Li Qinjian smiled and said: "Speaking of which, for this trade port, I, Ming Dynasty, have gone all the way.

Finally, I had been preparing for a long time and just waited for Governor Changsun to nod.

No, Magistrate Changsun nodded, my entire Ming Dynasty has become busy, even my Highness the Ming Dynasty has been busy for several days on this matter."

After Li Qinjian finished speaking, Changsun Wuji smiled awkwardly.

After all, Li Qinjian is still a bit young. With Changsun Wuji's shameless words, he would at most think that you are farting.

"Is this the Duke of Qi?" At this moment, Pu Xiruo came out from behind and said with a smile, "I have long heard that the Duke of Qi is the pillar of the Tang Dynasty and a capable minister in governing the country. When I see you today, it is true that I am Sansheng.

Fortunately."

Changsun Wuji looked at the words and was quite surprised. He could guess who this person was, but he didn't expect that this former foreign leader could now speak clearly.

"You must be the Ming Dynasty's Zuopushe, right?" Changsun Wuji slightly arched his hands and said, "Assisting His Highness to establish a foothold in the Chishui River at the last moment, Pushe's hard work and merits are great!"

Although Pu Xiluo was just a tribal leader in the past, in the eyes of Changsun Wuji or many others, he was born taller than Li Qinjian.

Regardless of the fact that Li Qinjian is now a high-ranking official, his birth as a merchant cannot be changed.

Therefore, Changsun Wuji had two completely different attitudes towards Pu Xiruo and Li Qinjian.

Of course, he didn't really look down on Li Qinjian, but he just had contempt in his bones, which he really couldn't change for a while.

"The Duke of Qi has given you too much praise." Pu Xi said with a smile, "I don't dare to take any credit for the Ming Dynasty to be as glorious as it is today. It was only because of His Highness's wise and powerful leadership that the Ming Dynasty achieved its great success today."

The merits of hard work are high. Who in the Ming Dynasty dares to say that the merits of hard work are high?

Pu Xiluo reacted quickly to Changsun Wuji's praise.

"Pupushe is so humble." Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Although His Highness is the Dinghai Shenzhen of the Ming Dynasty, without you, how could His Highness achieve such great achievements?"

There is no problem at all when saying this. Even Li Chengqian has to admit that what Changsun Wuji said is the truth.

But from the standpoint of Pu Xiluo or the officials of the Ming Dynasty, this statement is really unacceptable and cannot even be thought of.

What's the matter, are you still planning to tell Li Chengqian that without me, this would be nothing?

Isn’t this just making yourself unhappy?

What I shouldn’t say is that without Pu Xi Ruo in the Ming Dynasty, there are still Pu Dong Ruo, Punan Ruo, Pu Bei Ruo...

In the court of Ming Dynasty, except for Li Chengqian, everyone else can be replaced.

Without answering Chang Sun Wuji's words, Pu Xiruo said with a smile: "Today I and Li Shangshu are here to preside over the opening of the port on behalf of the Ming Dynasty. Are you satisfied with the Duke of Qi?"

Um?

Changsun Wuji was stunned, Li Chengqian didn't come?

Although there were some doubts in his heart, Changsun Wuji, as an old fox, still smiled and said: "How dare I not be dissatisfied if Pu Pushe and Li Shangshu, two great ministers of the Ming Dynasty, can preside over the opening of the port.

But when I saw the heavy security, I thought His Highness was here too."

"Your Highness is coming." Pu Xi said with a smile, "But Your Highness is just here to take a look. Your Highness has already left the matter of presiding over the opening of the port to me and Li Shangshu."

Having just been praised by Changsun Wuji, Puxiruo immediately counterattacked when he got the chance.

He knew that Changsun Wuji looked down on people like them, and always thought that with his status, the person he would interact with would have to be his own highness, but I will tell you.

Your Highness is here!

So what? I am the one presiding over the opening of the port in Ming Dynasty today. What should you do?

Although Pu Xiluo’s approach is a bit irritating, it’s such a relief!

"I feel relieved if Pu Pushe and Li Shangshu can take charge of this matter." Even though Changsun Wuji was very angry, he still said with a cheerful face, "I have heard about the Ming Dynasty's business system as early as Chang'an.

These two are at the helm, so they must be fully prepared for the opening of the port today, right?"

"That's natural. Duke Qi, please move on." After hearing this, Pu Xiruo looked at the merchants who had already crowded around him and said with a smile, "You can also come and take a look. I, the Ming Dynasty, have done enough for the trade port.

Not to mention preparation, it is full of sincerity."

None of these businessmen are human beings. Changsun Wuji used various methods to gather them in Taoyuan City. Naturally, they knew what was going to happen in Taoyuan City today.

Therefore, if there was any movement at the trading port here, they would surround it.

They will not easily find the treasure before the dust finally settles.

This is what a businessman does. He doesn't let go of the hawk when he sees the rabbit.

Changsun Wuji didn't care much about this. Today, he was sure of victory, so he just gave instructions to the people around him and followed Pu Xiluo and others.

After they left, the merchants filed in even more.

Although they used to often travel between Riyue Mountain and Taoyuan City, since this place was turned into a forecourt, they have taken another route. They don't know what the Ming Dynasty Royal Court did here.

Because the entire trading area is surrounded by rows of houses, forming a circle with a radius of one or two miles, which is quite like the earth buildings in Fujian.

Not long after, everyone arrived at the trading area of ​​the port.

In fact, the trading area is not far from the border of Datang, only three or two miles at most.

But now everyone was quite shocked when they saw this huge "earth building"!

"What a generous move!" Everyone couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

In such a place where nothing happens, doing something like this is indeed a big deal.

Puxi said with a smile: "This is specially built for the purpose of trade port. It can be regarded as a gathering of all the talents of the Ming Dynasty. Come, Duke of Qi, come inside and take a look."

After saying that, Puxiluo made a gesture of invitation.

Changsun Wuji was not in a hurry to enter, but smiled and said: "I heard that this trading area has four gates, southeast, northwest and northwest?"

"That's natural." Pu Xiruo said, "Although the preliminary preparations for the port are almost complete, in the later stage, we plan to build four more main streets based on the four gates of the southeast, northwest and northwest. By then, there will be more merchants coming and going through the port.

The problem of food and accommodation is also easily solved.

Moreover, these four main streets are also convenient for merchants to do business on their own. Although this is a port for the imperial court, it should also give everyone some opportunities."

Changsun Wuji smiled and said nothing.

He always felt that Ming's arrangement had a deeper meaning, but he couldn't figure it out for a while. At that moment, accompanied by Pu Xiluo and others, he walked in.

Pu Xiluo was also a good man. He accompanied Changsun Wuji and winked at Li Qinjian. Li Qinjian immediately arranged for someone to greet the merchants from behind.

Although Changsun Wuji saw all this, he didn't take it seriously.

However, once they entered the trading area, everyone was quite shocked.

Except for a street that is more than ten steps wide, it is lined with Qingyishui storefronts. Outside the storefront, there is a cement stall, and the stalls are filled with products from various shops.

, you don’t need to enter the door to know what this store is about.

Almost all the stores on both sides of the street are open, selling everything.

I thought that this kind of building complex surrounded by four sides would have a problem with poor lighting. As a result, each shop uses a large number of glass windows, and due to design reasons, the lighting is not affected.

Seeing this scene, Changsun Wuji and others were not impressed, but the merchants became interested.

This is interesting. Where have they seen anything like this?

At the moment, there was no need to greet the people arranged by Li Qinjian, and he started walking around by himself.

Seeing this scene, Pu Xiluo smiled and said in his heart, His Highness really has a way.

This so-called trading area was naturally designed by Li Chengqian, who was based on the farmers' wholesale market near his home in later generations.

"It's quite innovative." Changsun Wuji looked at it, then touched the cement stall and asked, "What is this?"

"This is cement." Pu Xiro immediately introduced it enthusiastically, "This cement is extremely strong. It is perfect for paving roads and building bridges. Even if it is used to build city walls or villas, it is not a second choice.
