The Tang Dynasty: The Concubine of the Holy Soldier

Chapter 427
Chapter 427
Although people from a large family are talking and laughing happily, each of them has their own plans in their hearts.

After all, the Five Surnames and Seven Wangs have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, and no one wants to see a certain family suddenly rise, especially when the Li Tang royal family is sitting in the country.

These aristocratic families are even more unanimous in targeting the Li and Tang royal family.

After a few people from aristocratic families made some commercial compliments, they immediately changed the topic to shops.

"Today the people must be out of curiosity, that's why there are so many people in the market. I'm afraid there won't be so many people tomorrow!"

"I don't think so! I'm afraid there will be more people tomorrow!"

"Now that the King of Beiliang has broken the rules of Fangshi, people who don't want to go to Fangshi on weekdays will probably flood into the shops!"

"That's right! Originally, Fang City was too crowded, but now that it has undergone reforms, it will definitely be able to win over all the people in Chang'an City!"

"It's just that today's hot scene may only last for a while!"

After a few people discussed it, they all felt that it was very reasonable.

After all, after these people bought grain, salt, and cloth, it would take a while to consume them before they continued to buy.

And after this discussion, the thoughts of several aristocratic families who wanted to continue buying the house became much weaker.

After all, after seeing the bustling scene today, the only thing in their minds is to expand the size of the shops, wishing to turn all the houses in Chang'an City into shops...

However, compared with those shops in Fang City, the number of these shops is not only more than ten times that of the past, but the income is doubled.

If new shops are added, the gains will outweigh the losses.

The members of the aristocratic family are all frowning, and they are very clear in their hearts that the current number is just right, but how could such a good opportunity be missed?
After all, these people don't think about whether they can get back their money, because for aristocratic families, although they almost exhausted their family heritage when buying a house.

But these houses also increased the family's financial resources in a disguised form, not to mention that the goods in the shops were basically zero cost for the aristocratic family.

Because, almost all of the goods owned by the aristocratic family are self-produced and sold by the family. This is an advantage over other powerful shops...

The people from several aristocratic families looked at each other, and then asked...: "Everyone, but still want to buy some new houses and transform them into shops!?"

When hearing this, the rest of the families were silent.Because they believed that everyone present had the same idea, but they didn't say it clearly...

Then the members of the Lu family slowly said: "If you don't open new shops, wouldn't that be an opportunity for others to take advantage of?"

"That's right! Now, such a good opportunity should be grasped in the hands of my aristocratic family, and the rich and powerful of Chang'an City should not be allowed to share a piece of the pie!"

"That being said! But how can we stop those dignitaries!? If they also open shops, how can we stop them!?"

"Why don't we just buy all the favorable houses, even if the rich and powerful of Chang'an City want to participate, they must be at a disadvantage!"

When discussing this, everyone felt that this was not a long-term solution.

And in their minds, Bai Jingyi's figure also appeared at the same time. Bai Jingyi gave them this opportunity now. If Bai Jingyi makes a move, let alone those dignitaries in Chang'an City.

Even the aristocratic families present could only endure silently.Even facing closure.

So their real enemy is not those dignitaries in Chang'an City, but Bai Jingyi!
The scene that was originally chatting and laughing became tense because of the topic of discussion, and the atmosphere present was very dignified.

Wang Gui said slowly: "Instead of guarding against those powerful ministers, it's better to think about how to win over the King of Beiliang!"

"Now the entire Chang'an City is almost under the control of the King of Beiliang. If the King of Beiliang orders you to close the shops, what should you do?"

Everyone felt that what Wang Gui said was very reasonable, and then they all echoed and said: "That's right! As long as I can win over the King of Beiliang, then it is equivalent to controlling the merchants of Chang'an City!"

"Whether it's the itinerant merchants in the Western Regions or the powerful ministers in Chang'an City, they can only do business in the market!"

"Since that's the case, I might as well ask the King of Beiliang what his next plan is!?"

"It's true! Even if I wait here to discuss countermeasures with unfounded worries, I still have to obey the orders of the King of Beiliang in the end!"

The people present immediately agreed to this proposal, and they no longer cared whether those powerful and powerful people in Chang'an City would also open their shops on the street, but instead focused all their attention on Bai Jingyi.

Bai Jingyi listened to the news reported by the Shadow Guard through the system, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he was thinking in his heart: "Compared with those dignitaries in Chang'an City, this old and cunning family is simply not at the same level!"

"It's no wonder that these aristocratic families can occupy a lot of wealth!"

Then Bai Jingyi said through the system command: "Notify all the aristocratic families! After an hour, all the doors of the shops will be closed!"

"Your subordinates obey!" After the Shadow Guard took the order, he passed on the news.

At this time, those members of the aristocratic families had already received Bai Jingyi's orders before they left the restaurant, so that the Shadow Guards would not have to go from house to house to deliver orders...

All the people present looked at the note on the table and were all silent.

They originally thought that today is finally the day when the store will open, and it will be able to stay open until dark.

As a result, it is just after noon now, and the door of the shop will be closed again after an hour, so how can they not worry about it.

After all, someone still couldn't help asking: "What is the king of Beiliang's intention? Why did you let me wait to close the door early?"

"It stands to reason! It should be open all the time, but now I'm being asked to close the door early, is there some kind of plan?"

"I don't think so! I don't know if you have noticed? There are many people in white clothes on the street, and these people are all from Liangzhou shops!"

When they heard this, the people present suddenly woke up, feeling that they had some thoughts in their minds, but they were not sure whether their thoughts were right or not...
