The First Family of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2897: More like a semi-official business group

In Qingzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, at this moment, Li Shimin was standing in front of the sand table with a group of important officials.

Looking at the blue background, representing the sea. The land is a huge sand table represented by loess.

At this moment, on the land representing the Fusang Islands, more than ten flags were planted in it, and among them, the plain located in the middle of the Fusang Island, erected the flag of the Great Tang Dynasty.

As for the north, the situation of Goguryeo, Baekje and Silla has not changed much.

No change is the best situation for Datang, and it is also convenient for Datang to dispatch troops calmly.

Li Daozong spoke to Li Shimin who was concentrating on looking at the sand table.

"Your Majesty, we have been in Dengzhou for nearly seven days now, and now the army will arrive in Qizhou in three or five days."

"I don't know when I will leave?"

Li Shimin stood up and moved his sore back.

"Well, tomorrow is a good day to rest. We will leave Dengzhou early the next morning and go to Qizhou to join the army."

Hearing this, a group of important officials obeyed the order awe-inspiringly, and Yu Chigong beside him couldn't help stroking his thick beard and said cheerfully.

"It's just right, I just ate enough to eat in the past two days. After all, I am afraid that it will be difficult to have the opportunity to eat such delicious seafood in the future."

As soon as this remark came out, Li Shimin was also amused, nodded and smiled deeply.

"Zhao Kun, go and tell Cheng Sanlang, it's been hard for him these two days to show off his old skills.

Let's monarchs and ministers, how about enjoying my beloved son-in-law's craftsmanship? "

Hearing this, all the civil and military officials of the Great Tang Dynasty couldn't help but smile and applaud loudly.

Even if it's Cheng Sanlang's demon moth that often makes the elders have headaches and restlessness, but this kid's cooking skills can definitely be regarded as rare in the world.

Just like those seafood with strong fishy smell, in the past, most of them were eaten by poor people. Only a small amount of delicacies will be on the tables of rich and noble families.

But after being in the hands of Cheng Sanlang, those ugly and skinny seafood, which looked unpalatable, became full of color, fragrance and taste, making people want to linger and linger.

No matter if it's the sea urchin's eye with an unpleasant name or those ugly shells, after he cooks it, the taste, especially after hearing that the seafood is very nourishing, and even has the effect of strengthening yang .

It made the eyes of this group of middle-aged and elderly men in the Tang Dynasty shine brightly, wishing to make up their yang energy after a meal.

#####

That night, a group of monarchs and ministers enjoyed a seafood feast, whether it was stewed Buddha jumping over the wall, fried spicy crab, salt and pepper shrimp goby, or steamed sea scorpion fish, fried anglerfish liver, and seafood sashimi , There are countless various seafood dishes.

After eating one or two, they lingered and praised again and again, and some people even chattered, and when they became official in the future, they would have time to come to this coastal place to enjoy themselves.

"Father, don't worry. Brother Chu Bi is currently planning a seafood express train. If it is feasible, the seafood salvaged here will be frozen in ice as soon as possible, and then directly sealed and packed in a box for twelve o'clock. Non-stop express trains direct to Luoyang."

"We plan to set up forty post stations on the way. In this way, the speed can be faster than that of Changluote before, and it will be much faster. In this way, more than two thousand miles, less than three days, can be completed. Arrived in Luoyang."

"Is it such a luxury just for one bite?" A civil servant couldn't help but whispered.

Li Jingshi, the disciple of Wu Xun who abandoned martial arts and followed literature, bowed to the elder, speaking neither humble nor overbearing.

"In this world, there will always be some people who spend money like dirt to satisfy their appetites, not to mention that our Han and Tang commercial firm operates legally.

The tax paid to the imperial court every year is the crown of merchants in the world. Even if they make money, they are benefiting the people of Tang Dynasty. "

Hearing these words, all the courtiers were speechless. Li Daozong stroked his long beard with a smile, and looked lovingly at his son who had finally removed the bandages and returned to normal attire.

He was really right. Speaking of which, among the many firms in Datang today, Hantang Firm is definitely the biggest one, and many businesses are exclusive businesses.

However, when the Han and Tang dynasties started their business, they always traded fairly, and what's more, whenever there was a disaster in the local area.

However, the Han and Tang commercial banks will not deliberately raise food prices when the disaster strikes like those big merchants who only care about profits.

The Han and Tang Commercial Bank will definitely use its own channels to import grain and grass to the disaster area as soon as possible to cooperate with the government in disaster relief.

In the past, the most feared thing for disaster relief was that the people lacked food, so that they would sell their sons and daughters, and sell their land and houses, causing turmoil.

In the eyes of common people and the eyes of the government, the righteous deeds of the Han and Tang commercial firms are all positive and conscientious firms.

In addition, the Han and Tang dynasties built roads and bridges in Geli, which facilitated logistics transportation, business exchanges, and also facilitated the local people.

All in all, even if the most stringent censor of the Tang Dynasty came to know what the Hantang Commercial Bank did, it would be embarrassing to say that the Hantang Commercial Bank was a profiteer.

It is precisely because of the right to speak of the Han and Tang merchants in the merchants' business in various places, it also has a certain degree of binding force on the local merchants.

After all, whoever dares to buy and sell by force, or engage in some acts of bullying and dominating the market, the Han and Tang Commercial Bank must not be happy, and must report to the government.

Does your local government care? Hehe... Please ask carefully first, who is squatting behind Hantang Commercial Bank's buttocks?

If you don't care, it's natural that the bigger officials in charge of you will put pressure on you.

The owners behind the Hantang Commercial Bank, there are a dozen or so state princes, and even the Great Tang Emperor, Prince and others also have shares in it.

Therefore, UU reading www.uukanshu.com local tyrants, even corrupt officials, if they want to do something, they have to carefully weigh whether they have such a strong background and ability.

In fact, up to now, Hantang Commercial Bank is no longer like a private firm, but more like a semi-official business group.

It's just that there are too many industries involved, but fortunately, no one has dared to destroy the rules and regulations of Hantang Commercial Bank.

In other words, someone made a mistake and ended up miserable, and will be listed as a typical example. Tell every current employee and new employee to follow the rules and regulations honestly.

At least you can get enough food and clothing, even plenty of food, but if you mess around, once you are discovered, you will be jailed.

The most important thing is that the Hantang Commercial Bank has always actively paid taxes. You must know that Datang has no commercial tax, but unfortunately, the Hantang Commercial Bank will actively and consciously pay 20% of its net income to the national treasury every year.

You know, with the terrifying size of Hantang Commercial Bank, his annual net income is an extremely terrifying figure.
