Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 1116 Trouble, find urban management
Because Dongshi is close to Taiji Palace and Xingqing Palace, there are many residences of royal families and dignitaries in the surrounding squares. The goods sold in the city are mostly high-end luxury goods to meet the needs of royal families and dignitaries.

However, since ancient times, rulers have regarded merchants as "low class", regarded business and industry as unprofitable, and strictly prohibited officials from entering the market.In October of the first year of Zhenguan and in December of the second year, His Majesty Li Er issued several bans: "Five grades and above are not allowed to enter the market" and "Five grades and above are prohibited from entering the market."

These guys who occupy the top of the society not only rely on industry and commerce to satisfy their material life enjoyment, but also regard themselves as noble and despise those in industry and commerce, and impose various restrictions.

Compared to the Western Market, which is more civilian and more international in terms of trade, the East Market, which has more luxury goods, is obviously far inferior to the former in terms of trade volume and slightly less prosperous.

However, in terms of market order, the West Market, which has more people and is more complex, is better than the East Market. This is because the officials who manage the market are completely strong in the West Market. People are afraid of officials, so naturally they dare not disobey the management. .What's more, the Tang Dynasty at this time can be said to be the only one who sweeps the world, and there is no such thing as worshiping foreigners. Not only that, but if crooked nuts come to Datang, they will be second-class people. If you are not honest, you will not kill you...

On the other hand, Dongshi is just the opposite.

Whether it is a store operator or a purchaser who comes to the market, which one is not a noble family and royal family?It is inevitable that there will be mutual embarrassment between each other because of different positions. Fighting and troubles are even more common, and market officials dare not take care of them, so the order is naturally disordered.

*****
The market had just opened early in the morning, and the "Skylark Tower" was already overcrowded.

In the early morning of winter, the cold wind is howling, and the bones are chilled.The stewards of various families who braved the severe cold to come to Dongshi to buy goods sent their cronies and servants to take the purchase list from store to store to purchase, and they took their entourage to hide in warm restaurants and restaurants to order a table of side dishes and hot porridge to eat deliciously. After a while, holding hot tea, I found a familiar steward to chat with, and waited for the cronies and servants to come back from the purchases, added to the order and made some tricks, divided the remaining money, and put the big head in my pocket. Going home happily...

The business of "Skylark Building" is booming!
Not only the price is favorable and the food is delicious, but also because the owner of "Yunque Tower" is the Bohai Gao family.

The Gao family in Bohai sounds like a remote border where the emperor Shan Gao is far away, but who told them to produce a great man?

The patriarch, Gao Shilian, Jinjue Shen Guogong, is the core of the Guanlong Group, and he is also close to Shandong tyrants. Even the Jiangnan gentry have many contacts.He is the only person in the entire dynasty who can maintain close relations with the three major political forces at the same time, and his status is detached...

Besides, Gao Shilian is the uncle of the current emperor. With the deep relationship between His Majesty Li Er and Empress Changsun, how could he not be respectful and gracious to Gao Shilian, who single-handedly raised his elder brother and sister?
Everyone carries the bridal sedan chair, where is it not to eat?Eat a meal or breakfast or lunch in the "Yunquelou" when you do your daily purchases. It is both classy and face-saving, and it can also be a good sale for the owner in front of the Gao family. Why not do it?
Therefore, the business of "Yunquelou" is one of the best among dozens of restaurants in Dongshi City, and it is making a lot of money every day.

The shopkeeper sat on the chair behind the counter and yawned, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand just to warm his hands and not drinking it, dozing listlessly.

He is a remote family member of the Gao family in Bohai. He left his hometown and came to Chang'an to join Gao Shilian when he was young. Because of his lively temperament, winking and trustworthiness from the same family, he was highly valued by Gao Shilian. After two years of age, he gradually became unable to take care of the chores in the house, so he took the initiative to retire and came to manage such a restaurant in Dongshi.

His qualifications are old enough, and now the servants in the restaurant are all his disciples and grandchildren, so the prestige is naturally not ordinary, and he doesn't need to do anything in his spare time, just stay here for the elderly...

Customers coming and going in and out of the lobby are very noisy.

The shopkeeper frowned, feeling a little noisy, so he wanted to go to the back room to take a nap for a while and get back to sleep.

A servant came hurriedly.

"The treasurer..."

The shopkeeper raised his eyelids, and reprimanded him: "Be more stable! Whenever there is a big event, you have to be calm, and the Mount Tai collapses in front of you without changing your face, so you can take on great responsibilities. How can you be so frizzy?"

What he hates the most is such a lackluster servant who has no future...

But the servant slandered in his heart: We are just a waiter doing odd jobs, and we can take on such a big job...

Speaking of it, he dared not show any disrespect, so he quickly admitted his mistake: "Yes, yes, what the shopkeeper taught me is that the little ones should pay attention in the future..."

The shopkeeper hummed, held the teacup, and asked with drooping eyelids, "What's the matter?"

"Shaodong from the shop next door that sells silver bone charcoal asks to see you."

"A seller of silver bone charcoal?"

The shopkeeper is a little strange, I didn't think so, but after thinking about it, it is also the property of the Zhang family in Xingyang. Zhang Liang is now the general manager of the Canghai Road March. , this face has to be given to...

He said, "Call him over."

"promise!"

The servant turned and went out, and after a while, he brought over a stout young man in a brocade robe.

The young man walked very fast, and when he got to the counter, he didn't salute, staring at the shopkeeper behind the counter and asked in a low voice: "Are you the shopkeeper of this Yunque Tower?"

The old shopkeeper was a little displeased, but he had already cultivated the kung fu of forbearance after dealing with dignitaries all his life, so he said calmly, "The old man is right, I don't know what to call you?"

The young man puffed out his chest and said carelessly: "A certain name is Zhang Shentie, Duke Yun is the cousin of a certain person."

Just like "My father is Li X", full of arrogance!

The old shopkeeper's eyelids twitched, and he said with a smirk: "Hehe, I'm sorry for your disrespect. I just don't know if Mr. Zhang Xiaolang is here, what can I teach you?"

I just met you to give you some face. Do you really think that the chief executive of your family is some kind of extraordinary person?

Perhaps in the eyes of others, it is indeed a meritorious service for the founding of the country and a general manager, but in the eyes of our Duke Shen, hehe, that is a fart...

The kid looked a little stunned, so he dismissed it early, so he could catch up on his sleep when he was old, and his energy was weak when he was old, and he couldn't wake up if he didn't have enough sleep...

That Zhang Shentie stared at the old shopkeeper, and said loudly: "I don't dare to teach you, it's just that your porridge shed blocks our shop, how do we do business?"

The old shopkeeper was slightly taken aback, and looked at the servants beside him.

The servant hurried forward and whispered the reason in his ear...

But the business of "Yunque Tower" is very good, especially during the breakfast period, the lobby is always full of seats, and many late guests can't find a seat and have to leave.It is unforgivable for any business to have money but not make money, so the old shopkeeper sent servants to discount a simple porridge shed in front of the street in front of the door to provide meals for those customers with lower status. Sales nearly doubled.

It's just that the old shopkeeper's spirit is a bit weak, and he doesn't bother to go out in the cold weather. Naturally, he can just order this kind of thing, and he doesn't know what the porridge shed looks like.

Actually blocked half of the door next door...

This is indeed a little too much.

The old shopkeeper nodded, and then wanted to order his servants to dismantle the porridge shed, or reduce it a bit, so that others could not be allowed to do business. Although the Gao family had a noble status, they always valued peace and never bullied others.

Unexpectedly, before he could open his mouth, he saw Zhang Shentie in front of him with a pair of bull's eyes widened, waving his fist as big as a vinegar bowl, and said arrogantly: "If you know something, quickly tear down the porridge shed, that's all." .If not..."

The sluggish old shopkeeper suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze was sharp, and his tone was cold: "Otherwise, so what?"

I dismantle it myself, it's for your face, it's our Gao family's generosity!
How dare you threaten my Gao family?
Zhang Shentie snorted and turned his nostrils to the sky: "If not, I will dismantle it for you!"

The voice of his words was very arrogant and loud, and after he finished speaking, the originally noisy lobby suddenly fell silent.

The diners all turned their heads and looked over, all in shock.

Who is this idiot?

The old shopkeeper laughed angrily, nodded again and again, and said angrily: "Okay, you really have the guts, do you want to demolish the Skylark Tower as well?"

Zhang Shentie didn't know what he was thinking, but he nodded and said, "If you annoy me, then tear it down!"

This time, not only the diners were stunned, but even the old shopkeeper was a little confused.

It is said that Fang Er is the No. [-] mallet in Chang'an, and now it seems that this title is about to abdicate to the virtuous...

This Erlangzi is even bigger than Fang Jun!
