My Backyard is the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 318: The appearance of the commercial street!



Thinking of this, Li Yin stood on the bow of the boat and laughed heartily that day. He didn\'t expect that everything was so funny. Invisibly, he actually made everything perfect for himself. From then on, he could finally say with confidence that these things are Coming from Luo Anguo, even if Li Shimin wants to see it with his own eyes, he can bring Li Shimin there.

After five or six days of boring voyage, Li Yin finally returned to the familiar Yizhou. He did not return to Yizhou for three or four months. Li Yin suddenly found that Nanhe port was more lively than before. The entire port seems to be congested. These steam merchant ships as small as 15 or 6 meters and as high as 50 or 60 meters are all sold by Yizhou shipyards to Datang merchants for profit. When the news spread, it was natural Let the merchants go crazy. Li Yin went ashore, and before he had walked a few steps, a figure greeted him, saying: "Your Highness, you are finally back."

   "Guan Sixing, why are you at the pier?" The visitor was dressed in a red official suit with a hood. But it was Guan Sixing.

Guan Sixing laughed and said: "It\'s also a coincidence that many businessmen made a fuss at the Governor\'s Office today, saying that the Nanhe Wharf is too small. It needs to be remodeled, so I\'ll come over to have a look. At this time, I saw His Highness arriving by boat, so I came over and waited." Your Highness, let Your Highness make up his mind."

Li Yin looked at the businessmen in a circle, and some of them recognized Li Yin and bowed to salute. Those who didn\'t know him realized that this was the famous King of Shu, so they also saluted respectfully, and the eyes that looked at Li Yin were also full of fear.

  Four months is not a short time. Of course not too long. But since the industrialization of Yizhou began, these merchants quickly produced the first batch of goods with various machinery. At this time, businessmen suddenly discovered that things that used to take a year to produce can now be produced in just one month, and some even took a shorter time, so a large number of commodities began to flood into the market, accompanied by The collective price reduction of various commodities, especially the cloth market, the price of cloth that could be used as currency in the past dropped rapidly. After the Yizhou market became more cheap, these merchants began to set their sights on other places in Datang. Knowing the cause and effect, Li Yin pushed aside the crowd and walked around the Nanhe Wharf. Indeed, as the businessman said, waiting to unload the cargo, the boats waiting to unload the cargo were lined up in a long queue, crowded and unable to move, and black smoke steamed everywhere on the wharf. Merchant ship, so he said: "You don\'t have to worry, this pier is not enough and I will arrange for people to re-expand it. In addition, the transportation channel on the road will also be ordered to step up construction."

  The merchants were all happy when they heard the words, and said: "Thank you, His Royal Highness, King Shu!", "His Royal Highness, King Shu is really wise!", "Just waiting for this day."

  With Li Yin\'s promise, the merchants left one after another, Guan Sixing also heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "Your Highness, these merchants are becoming more and more active now, and I don\'t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing."

"It is a good thing to control it, and it is a bad thing to be unable to control it." Li Min said, "Don\'t look at them with the old thinking of scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen. Now Yizhou\'s tax revenue will be maintained by them in the future, but it is reasonable for them. Opinions must be accepted, and unreasonable ideas should not be ignored. In short, you can’t get used to them, and show them when you should.

  Guan Sixing chewed on Li Yin\'s words, nodded, and said: "Yes, Your Highness, I did act a bit weak just now, and I will correct it in the future."

  Nodding his head, Li Yin said: "Business is a fierce tiger, you must pay attention to your measures. After all, you are still young, and you will understand after a lot of experience."

  While talking, Li Yin entered the city from the south gate of Yizhou City. Guan Sixing said at this time, "By the way, Your Highness, the commercial street has started to operate now. Would you like to go and have a look?"

   "Already in operation?" Li Yin felt that he might have missed something. This commercial street project has been under construction, and Li Yin estimated that the time would be almost up. "Let\'s go and have a look."

Guan Sixing responded with a yes, and continued: "There are also Nanshi and Beishi. According to His Highness\'s instructions, the two cities have been transformed into agricultural product markets. Vegetables, grains, and meat are all sold there. The shops on the street sell some industrial and handicrafts.”

Li Yin nodded frequently after hearing this. Since Yizhou is to be built into a global metropolis, a high-end commercial street is indispensable. The two talked all the way, and soon arrived at the completed Yizhou Commercial Street. Although the architectural style here is still the style of the Tang Dynasty, the layout of the building is quite different. They are all designed according to the structure of modern shops, which are very suitable for selling goods.

Walking along the smooth commercial street from east to west, Li Yin\'s gaze passed over various fabric stores, medicine stores, perfume stores, food stores, and clothing stores. These stores have different names, but few You can see the industries under the Shu Palace, because they put their main energy into steel and salt industries, which are the exclusive industries of the country. Li Yin does not intend to hand over the lifeblood industries of these countries to the merchants.

   "Are these shops rented or sold to them?" Li Yin asked. Although he proposed this plan, the specific implementation and operation are the affairs of the Yizhou government office, and the final profits will also go into the government treasury.

  Guan Sixing said: "Returning to His Highness, they are all leased to them, because after calculation, we will earn more if we rent it for a long time."

  Li Yin nodded, looked at the Yizhou Bank on the side of the road, smiled and said, "Let\'s go in and have a look." Guan Sixing immediately followed.

After entering Yizhou Bank, Li Min suddenly became quite familiar with it. If it weren’t for the old-style facilities here, he might regard it as a modern bank, because there is also a waiting area here, and there is also a place to pick up the number in front of the door. , Only by queuing up in order can you get the money, and although the windows of the bank are not made of glass, the model is basically the same as that of the bank.

When Li Yin went in, many people were waiting to withdraw money. When Li Yin came to one of the windows, a commoner was exchanging money with bills. There are a lot of copper coins with different denominations.

  The arrival of Li Yin quickly alarmed the manager of the bank. A lean man with the appearance of a scholar trotted out of the bank, and quickly saluted Li Yin when he saw him. )
