Chapter 518

In May, Yunchu used his own name to send out a proposal to the merchants in the entire Chang'an City, planning to renovate the Yongle Square belonging to Wannian County. The merchants sent out a proposal, and he planned to renovate Chongdefang, which belongs to Chang'an County.

Yunchu was still the same, and with the business of Jinchangfang as a guarantee, he planned to tear down all the dilapidated houses in Yonglefang except Kaiyuan Temple and rebuild them into the appearance of Guangfufang next door without spending a penny.

Gentle's plan is not radical, and the scope of renovation is limited to a market in Chongdefang. He has nothing to mortgage, and can only use his own name as collateral. He hopes to find some businessmen with vision and courage to actively get involved.

Although Yunchu's collateral seems to be more reliable, everyone thinks that Wenrou's collateral is more honest.

What Yunchu has never understood is that the people of Tang Dynasty are obviously very poor, but they still have a habit of treating money like dirt.

However, things like illusory reputation are far more important than a little money.

If Yunchu messed up, he would lose a little money at most. If Wen Rou messed up, he would not be able to hold his head up in this lifetime.

When Pei Xingjian was the county magistrate of Chang'an, it was the Chang'an county government that he used as a guarantee, not his reputation.

Wannian County has already developed several fangshi. The next door to Yonglefang is the last developed fangshi, Anyefang. Today's Anyefang has a large canteen and a large inn, and it is on the side of Zhuque Street. It has become a commercial place second only to the East and West cities and Jinchangfang.

It's a pity that the aborigines of Anyefang moved to a remote city after selling their expensive houses. This caused them to enjoy a wave of relocation bonuses, and today's business bonuses have nothing to do with them nothing.

The aborigines in Yonglefang have long been looking forward to the renovation of the city, and are ready to sell their new house and take the money to go to a remote city to continue living.

They hoped with the best wishes that the reconstruction of Wannian County could happen to them again.

Even Yunchu himself couldn't guarantee this kind of thing, but he didn't know where their confidence came from.

Leaving the bustling business district, he voluntarily returned to the poorer, poorer, and worse-off town. He did make a lot of money, but when they used the big money to improve their lives, after they got married and had children, Yun Chu I believe that it will not be long before they will become poor again.

After all, with the curfew in Chang'an City, even selling candied haws with straw sticks in the overcrowded commercial market is still a very good income.

Yunchu didn't even expect this change, but after all, it was a kind of behavior of vacating cages and changing birds. The gathering of rich people in the commercial market is still good for the development of this market.

Since the basic result of the Fangshi developed by Yunchu is that everyone has made a lot of money, so this time, the people, merchants, and even some relatively wealthy families in Yonglefang, after hearing the news about the development of Fangshi, the first Immediately, they lined up to the county government office to check the land deed and prepare for the relocation.

This is the benefit of renovating the impoverished square cities. There are not many rich people in these square cities, or they are not rich enough to fight against the Wannian county government, so the relocation can be carried out very smoothly.

If one day, Yunchu's mind suddenly went wrong, and he went to renovate those squares full of rich and honorable families... he would definitely lose money so that he wouldn't even be able to wear his pants.

Many times people think that the rich earn the most money, but they don't know that in this world, the poor are always the ones who get the money.

Yunchu would not renovate those neighborhoods near the imperial city, he had never even thought about it. Renovating those impoverished neighborhoods is one of the few good things Yunchu can do to help the poor.

After all, after the renovation, those who have been poor for many years can be given a chance to become rich.

When the opportunity is given, if you can turn around, then the benevolent see the benevolent and the wise see the wisdom.

Every time Wannian County prepares to renovate Fang City, it is a carnival feast for big merchants in Chang'an.

It is also a feast for the forces behind the businesses. Yunchu believes that when the fat pigs start to eat the best feed, they have no intention of caring about others. They just want to eat in the most ferocious, fastest, and greediest way. Download as much food as possible.

Because it was already a very mature industry, Yunchu didn't even need to do it himself, and let Liu Yi, the housekeeper, lead a group of tents to contact various merchants, and the matter was quickly finalized.

The same is true for Wenrou's side. The reason why he is so smooth is that Wenrou merged the construction project of Chongdefang and the construction project of Yonglefang.

Those big merchants who want to get the Yonglefang project, on the other hand, must do the Chongdefang project together, otherwise, neither project will be done.

On this matter, the attitudes of the Wannian County Government and the Chang'an County Government were extremely unified, and there was no room for those merchants to pick and choose.

As a result, those big merchants either joined together or joined forces, and tried their best to fight for more profit points.

The massive renovation project started, and not many people cared about Yunchu and Wenrou's formation of various business alliances.

The first to discover the change in the business model of Chang'an City was the group of middle-aged people who had been lying on the merchants all year round to suck blood.

In the past, if a small businessman wanted to make a sale, he could not do without the help of a middleman. Now, this model seems to have undergone some changes. Those small businessmen who need them to find buyers for their goods are now very few Climb the door of the Chinese.

However, their production and sales do not seem to have changed, especially those small merchants who need to contact Hu merchants. Their goods are being transported to the Western Regions by camels by Hu people.

It didn't go through the hands of middle people like them.

The news of the middle-aged people was extremely well-informed, and within two days they discovered the reason why their profession was no longer popular.

Because those Hu people living in Dikeng City in Qujiangli will write out their needs on a huge whiteboard in Qujiangli, and mark the price.

If there are many merchants who are willing to supply goods at this price, the barbarian will take the initiative to lower the purchase price to see if anyone continues to follow up. If there is always, then he can keep lowering the price until he can buy at a price he is satisfied with. Low quality goods are also acceptable so far.

On the contrary, if no merchant is willing to supply the goods at the price written by the Hu merchant, the Hu merchant can only increase the purchase price until the price he gives can buy the goods he needs.

Whether you are a seller or a buyer, you must write down your price and quantity clearly, because the tax collectors in Wannian County who are resident in Qujiangli have to collect taxes according to the transaction volume and price.

When those middlemen and brokers wearing shoes of two colors saw the huge whiteboard, their faces turned ashen-colored.

There are three such whiteboards in Qujiang, one is for Hu merchants, and the other is for Datang merchants.

The price, quantity, and quality of yesterday's goods were densely written on the last piece, which was used as a reference for Hu merchants and merchants from other places in the Tang Dynasty to bid.

Yunchu called this new transaction method "honest transaction", and it was aimed at those middle-aged people who would do everything except good things, brokers, in the name of honesty, to attract more Hu merchants, Domestic merchants come to Chang'an for transactions, especially large transactions.

This way of buying and selling can easily form a huge siphon effect in Guanzhong, and radiate to Luoyang, Taiyuan, these bulk cargo distribution centers, and finally form a monopoly.

Before Li Zhi said those things in Tai Hospital, Yun Chu would never have dared to implement this so-called "honest transaction" rule.

Now, there is no taboo. If anyone is dissatisfied with this trading rule, please explain to the emperor why this behavior is inappropriate, and give a better solution.

Li Zhi liked the "honest transaction" rule proposed by Yunchu very much.

Strong stems and weak branches have always been a national policy pursued by the Li royal family for a long time, otherwise, Chang'an City would not have stationed more than [-]% of the Tang Dynasty's troops.

Not to mention how much tax loss can be reduced by trading nearby in Chang'an City.

Others don't know the reason for the decline of Chang'an City, but Yunchu knows it. Guanzhong, which only relies on land, can't go to the west and the Middle East to do business with Europe, and second, it can't improve the efficiency of transportation with the east. It's difficult to maintain its own prosperity. After the decline, it is no surprise that it further becomes an abandoned child.

Now, Yunchu is going to take advantage of the convenience provided to merchants that cannot be provided by other places, further push up Chang'an's economic strength, and then reach the point where other places cannot replace it, and continue to let the prosperous Chang'an continue to prosper go down.

In the evening, when Yunchu left the Wannian County Government, the still hot sunset shone on the top of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, making this majestic tower like a huge burning candle.

Even when the city gate was about to close, Suzaku Street was still full of carriages and ox carts full of various supplies, as well as craftsmen and merchants in a hurry.

They all look very busy and extremely fulfilled,

Seeing that the city became busy again because of him, Yunchu was filled with pride.

Waiting for those nobles who are afraid of the emperor and don't understand the consequences of Yunchu's actions, after the officials see the real consequences.

It was too late for them to object at that time.

After all, once the general trend has been formed and the first hand has taken over, anyone who opposes, or acts of opposition, is just a poor fish and turtle under the overflow of the river.

　see you tomorrow
