Chapter 545 Industry and Commerce

The city of Chang'an is covered with silver, and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere. In the tiny wind and snow, the garden is filled with servants from wealthy families. These are all here to buy Anxi to burn spring.

Nowadays, Anxi Shaochun in Chang'an City is hard to find in the market. The winery expanded outside the city when Chen Guang left seemed to be huge in scale, but in the face of the demands of countless powerful and wealthy business officials in Chang'an City, the supply is still in short supply and can only be sold in limited quantities every day.

It was only when the end of the year was approaching that Chenyuan released news, adding 200 jars to sell every day, which attracted a lot of wealthy people to wait day and night just to buy the best wine in the world that even the saints praised.

Living against the railings of the top floor of Fanlou in Shenyuan, Li Longji, dressed in regular clothes, looked at the rushing car and lined up to the queue two streets away, his face full of smiles. He was old and actually didn't like the spirits like Anxi Shaochun. It was just that he had the share in this business. The jar of wine was sold for 3,000 guan.

The Anxi Shaochun sold in Shenyuan this winter has given him nearly 300,000 guan of income. In addition, Shenyuan's income has added a total of 1.5 million guan.

This has not counted the accounts of the Shuzhong, Hexi and Anxi Shaochun in Hebei. Thinking that he had no need to do anything, the industries that combined with Shen Lang alone would have an income of three to five million yuan a year, Li Longji was very proud. Sure enough, Chen Lang said it well, that making money from the rich is the big deal, and the rising and fighting villains would have to give them money.

"Ge Nu, what do you think of Guozhong's idea?"

Li Longji turned around and asked Li Linfu. The prime minister, who had been dismissed by him last year, pretended to be dead in the court for more than half a year after Yang Guozhong left Chang'an, did not give up on him. Instead, he worked diligently to maintain the court's principles and did not take the opportunity to completely abolish some of Yang Guozhong's new policies. Instead, he cleaned up some of the aristocratic officials who jumped out to defeat Yang Guozhong.

"Yang Xiang's idea is still feasible. The channels in Chang'an City are indeed disrepaired. Some lifangs will flood the streets when they encounter heavy rain, and the smell is bad. I have also had the idea of ​​repairing them in the past, but the treasury is limited. Now the Ministry of Revenue has sufficient tax revenue and the treasury has a surplus..."

Li Linfu was not as twilight as he pretended to be outside in front of Li Longji. Even though his hair was gray, he was very energetic when he spoke. Since the prince's status was stable, he had thought very thoroughly. To keep his children and grandchildren rich, he would just be obediently the tool of the saint in front of him.

The saints were deliberately doing it to let the prince and Yang Guozhong leave Beijing, just to see how many people in the court opposed Yang Guozhong's new policy, and then use his hand to get rid of these idiots who are ignorant of the current affairs. Although he is not as "full of evil" as Yang Guozhong, his reputation is not much better.

He and Yang Guozhong both became lonely officials. The so-called followers were all jokes. Yang Guozhong was better than him. At least he was like-minded from poor families, but now all of his subordinates were villains who were competing for the enemy.

"Then you can do this matter and let Guozhong have a good rest."

"Here."

Li Linfu responded that Yang Guozhong returned to Chang'an City more than two months ago and brought a petition from the Hu merchants in Liangzhou, which he had also cleaned up in the court. After the new tax law was promulgated, the Hu merchants in the West City all went to Yang's mansion to curry favor with him.

Originally, Li Linfu felt that Yang Guozhong would inevitably make a mistake and be caught by him when he was proud of himself, but this guy was openly accepting bribes from those Hu Shangs, and then sent them to the palace to enrich the sage's inner treasury. Such a method was really superb.

Thinking that the saint's reward of more than one million not long ago was worth more than one million yuan, Li Linfu couldn't help but twitch. The Hu merchants in the West City gave Yang Guozhong at least three to four million yuan, and Yang Guozhong was really willing to do so.

"Sanlang, fireworks are set off!"

Hearing Yang Yuhuan's call, Li Longji waved his hand and asked Li Linfu to retreat, and then accompanied his beloved back to the railings. Then he saw that in the square in Shenyuan, several servants from Shenyuan lit the leads of fireworks. In a moment, the golden flowers and silver rain, which were as gorgeous as thousands of trees, bloomed in the night with the lights on.

"Sanlang, these fireworks are so beautiful!"

Yang Yuhuan leaned in Li Longji's arms, murmured at the fireworks that were constantly blooming in the sky.

"Yes, it's really beautiful."

Li Longji sighed that there are some skilled craftsmen in Chenyuan. Many of them were originally serving the craftsmen in the palace and only worked for the government. These craftsmen had never come up with so many tricks. Although he knew that Chen Lang had left the craftsmen to create things and specializes in strange and lewd skills, in the past six months, many fresh things could be made, Chenyuan could treat these craftsmen well and not regard them as humble.

At the end of the year, in order to show the prosperity of the people, Li Longji naturally relaxed the curfew restrictions. However, the 12 guards patrolling the streets were several times more than during the day, but even so, the surrounding people were still crowded with people watching the fireworks in the surrounding yards.

"If these fireworks are sold, they may be able to make hundreds of thousands of extra quotas!"

Li Longji touched his chin and thought that Chen Lang never regarded industry and commerce as a low-key business. Now, as the biggest beneficiary of Chen Lang's industries, his originally solidified thinking changed a lot. You should know that when he was young, he read "Shangjun Book" and liked "Han Feizi". He was familiar with the so-called magic powers, otherwise how could he create the Kaiyuan rule?

The negligence since Tianbao was not only due to his lack of energy and indulgence in leisure and joy when he got older, but also due to the constant decline of the feudal dynasty. Li Longji knew that the land annexation in the world was serious, but he could only pretend to be confused. The reforms would cost him. Do you want him to slap himself in the face?

It’s not that Li Longji didn’t want to take care of the problem of land annexation, but that he couldn’t take care of it. Even Zhang Jiuling and Yao Chong were in the world, they could not do much better than Li Linfu. Only Chen Lang didn’t tell him any big truths, but just used practical actions to let him see the solution, which was the lowly industry and business industry that he and the court had despised in the past.

In other words, Li Longji, who can now think about whether he would give Chenyuan fireworks a royal salute to sell it, is completely the mentality that I don’t want to take on a cheap business and really makes too much money.

"Your Majesty." "Your Majesty."

The rapid shouting broke Li Longji's reverie. Then he frowned and looked at Chen Xuanli who was running towards him, and couldn't help but curse, "Why are you panic? Look at you, are you still my general of Dragon and Tiger?"

"Your Majesty, Hexi's victory, the Grand General Manager and Shen Duhun have defeated the thieves and killed 200,000 elite soldiers of the thieves. The thieves lost at least 400,000. The Shibao City and Tuyuhun are owned by our Tang Dynasty."

Chen Xuanli said quickly, and then he saw that the saint who had scolded him had already laughed ecstatically, "Okay, okay, Dalang and Shen Lang did not disappoint my high hopes. Return to the palace, I will return to the palace immediately."
