Datang romantic little landlord

"Yes, Your Majesty, not only did the County Boss not repent, but he intensified it. Now he is colluding with those businessmen and bullying us and other officials! It is really lawless, and I ask Your Majesty to issue an imperial edict to severely punish those merchants and the County Boss." !"

Impeach Li Wangyou again?

What this group of officials said made Li Er unclear. So, why Li Wangyou colluded with merchants to bully officials?What is this so-called?

"My lords, why did you say that? How dare merchants insult you?"

Businessmen and businessmen are not in the top class in Datang. Even if they have a lot of money, their status is humble.

Merchants dare to bully court officials?Li Er himself didn't believe this, not only he didn't believe it, but all the officials in the hall didn't believe it either.

"Your Majesty, what I said is true! The merchants in the eastern and western cities, including those Hu merchants, heard that it was my family who went to buy goods, but they all refused to sell them. Your Majesty, isn't this deliberately insulting us?"

"Your Majesty, those lowly merchants dare to bully us like this. They really have the heart of disobedience! Please issue an imperial edict to arrest all these rebellious merchants and put them in prison, so as to serve as an example to others!"

"Those merchants are actually still at the door of the shop, posting notices, refusing to trade with us. Your Majesty, this is not to be dismissed. What are these merchants trying to do? This is threatening the court!"

"Your Majesty, even in Pingkangfang, a place of fireworks, they dare to refuse us! How dare they do that? Your Majesty, please make the decision for your servants!"

What these ministers complained about made Li Er, Fang Xuanling and others stunned for a moment, and then they couldn't stop laughing.

Those who came out to demand severe punishment of merchants in the eastern and western cities were all the ministers and moralists who criticized Li Wangyou most fiercely during this period.

In the eyes of Li Er, Fang Xuanling and others, this was Li Wangyou's revenge.

After all, since you scolded Li Wangyou so happily back then, it is normal for Li Wangyou to fight back.

There is a regulation in the "Laws of the Tang Dynasty" that if you buy a fake or substandard product, you can return it within three days.

When returning the goods, a notary must inspect the goods and confirm that there are quality problems before returning the goods.If the merchant does not return the product, they can report to the government, and the government will intervene to mediate the return, and punish the merchant with "[-] cane" as punishment, which is much stricter than the protection of consumer rights in later generations.

But the merchant refused to sell the goods to the official, and Li Er didn't think there was anything wrong with it.In the laws of the Tang Dynasty, there is no provision that merchants must sell their goods to officials.

In fact, Li Er, Fang Xuanling and others misunderstood Li Wangyou. Li Wangyou knew nothing about this matter.

Many merchants in the eastern and western cities of Chang'an City refused to sell goods to these officials. In fact, it started from the day when Li Wangyou was escorted into Chang'an by Yushitai's prison car.

On that day, after recognizing Li Wangyou, Ren shopkeeper of the Renji saddle and bridle shop stopped in front of the prison car and kowtowed.As a small merchant, he naturally had nothing to do with what happened to Li Wangyou.

But shopkeeper Ren is also a person who values ​​friendship and loyalty. He believes that Li Wangyou is kind to his family, so he thinks about what he should do for his "benefactor".

After much deliberation, shopkeeper Ren simply posted a notice in front of his own saddle and bridle shop.Yanming said that Renji Saddle Bridle Shop refused to do business with any customer who had insulted and humiliated Hu Xianbo.

His announcement naturally attracted countless crowds from the east and west cities, who received mixed reviews.

What the shopkeeper did was actually useless in the first place.There are many saddle and bridle shops in Chang'an City. If you don't do other people's business, others will naturally do it.

But what he did reminded the beautiful boss.

Soon, SF Express Carriage Shop also posted the same announcement.

The Shunfeng Carriage Shop is different from the Renji Saddle and Bridle Shop. Nowadays, merchants in the eastern and western cities of Chang’an City don’t need to use the four-wheeled carriages of SF Express to transport goods?

What's more, at the beginning, Li Er was a good talker, and all the freight business in Chang'an City was handed over to SF Cargo.Coupled with the backstage support of Empress Changsun, this four-wheeled carriage shop can be said to have an absolute monopoly position in Chang'an City and has a huge influence.

Before those merchants could think clearly about whether they should do the same, the largest grain merchant in Chang'an City, the enemy, also posted the same notice, and moved forward and retreated with Shunfeng Horse Carriage Co., Ltd.

Then, in the city of Chang'an, all the Sogdian Hu merchants also posted this notice, and even those Hu people's wine shops refused to enter the officials who humiliated Hu County Bo.

Next, it was Pingkang Square, those picture buildings and brothels, unexpectedly all put up notices...

537 The Shame of Hundred Officials

When Li Wangyou was still thinking about how to "pretend to be a ghost", the eastern and western cities of Chang'an City, plus Pingkangfang, quietly launched a silent protest.

Among them, the Qiu family needless to say, now Qiu Yuanliang, Qiu Kun and his son, and Li Wangyou, the county uncle, are in the same breath.

Many honorable officials in Chang'an City have already regarded the enemy family as Li Wangyou's "direct line".

Owning [-]% of the horse-drawn carriage shop and supplying all the raw materials for the brewery, Qiu Kun also manages the beverage vending machine business.No matter how you look at it, the Qiu family is also integrated with the Hu County Bo's Mansion, and they cannot be separated from each other.

It is an inevitable choice for the Qiu family to advance and retreat with SF Express.

As for the Hu merchants of the Sogdians, they will stand up at this time, naturally because of the meaning of Zoroastrian Sabao and Milman.

Ever since Li Wangyou created the "Sacred Fire of the Sun" in full view, Chang'an Zoroastrianism has become more and more prominent among the Zoroastrian sects.

Originally, Milliman still had a peek at Li Wangyou's secret method of "Sun Flame", but he didn't take any action for the time being due to the influence of the dudes.

But without waiting for Milriman to move his mind, Li Wangyou was added to the rank several times, and became the founding magistrate of the huge empire of the Tang Dynasty with a prominent position.

Milliman naturally completely extinguished that little thought.

You can't coerce and lure, so of course Milman chose to have a good relationship with Li Wangyou.

It is a good choice to mobilize the shops of the Sogdians, follow the Shunfeng carriage company and the Qiu family to resist those officials, and sell Shunshui favors to Li Wangyou.

In case Zoroastrianism still needs to light the "sacred fire of the sun" in the future, if it is Li Wangyou's head, everyone will have a share in the incense.

As for the brothel brothels in Pingkangfang, they are even simpler.

At first, those prostitutes were overwhelmed by Li Wangyou's talent and were willing to cheer for him.

Li Wangyou's poems are all classics.Who among these prostitutes in Pingkangfang can't sing?

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Liu Yong was impoverished, and only relying on his good lyrics, he attracted countless prostitutes to recommend him as a pillow.What's more, Li Wangyou is such a talented, rich, and handsome young man.

Sixteen-year-old Yumian Xiaolangjun, which girl doesn't love it?

As for those fat-brained officials, who would like them?At most, for the sake of Kaiyuan Tongbao and Jinding, they had no choice but to receive these guests.

There was a conflict between the two, and the prostitutes in Pingkang Fang didn't even have to think about it, they knew who they would choose to support.

Furthermore, although these prostitutes are reduced to the world of mortals, they are also women.

Li Wangyou was impeached and imprisoned by these old guards for building a women's toilet in Chang'an City. Although these prostitutes can't do anything, they can express their attitude by refusing to accept customers.

With the precedents of Shunfeng Carriage Shop, Qiujia, Sogdian, and Pingkangfang, tens of thousands of merchants in the eastern and western cities simply followed suit and posted notices, refusing to do business with those officials who slandered and abused Li Wangyou.

Even if there are merchants who are unwilling to offend those officials, or who sneer at what Li Wangyou did, they can only follow the trend when faced with such a situation where tens of thousands of people push the wall, so as not to be caught by the numbers from the eastern and western cities. Thousands of merchants are regarded as "heterogeneous".

As a result, those officials who opposed and abused Li Wangyou the most were out of luck. Not only were they refused to go to Pingkangfang, but they were also refused to buy some cloth, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar for their own house.

The servants of these officials' families were forced to go out to buy goods, but they could only hide their names, for fear that people would know the identity of their masters.

This made these officials extremely ashamed, but they had nothing to do with these merchants, so they could only sue today to impeach Li Wangyou for bullying them.

After figuring out what was going on, Li Er couldn't help shaking his head. This group of officials was really disappointing.This kind of thing, to have the nerve to bring it up to the Tai Chi Hall to impeach Li Wangyou, really doesn't know what it means.
