Chapter 43 The first person to eat crabs
!!!
Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, brothers, went to find Dou Guojiu at the order of his father, Li Yuan.
Dou Guojiu was the lord of the Tang Dynasty's harem, the elder brother of Empress Dou, and Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's uncle.
With the development of business in the Tang Dynasty, the royal family naturally had its own industries and inputs, and many industries of the royal family were controlled by Dou Guojiu.
Qin Emperor personally recruited for a business, but it was a mess that day. Therefore, Li Yuan decided to ask Dou Guojiu to send people from Dou's business to make a move first.
Little did they know that when Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin were heading to Dou Guojiu's mansion, a carriage was stopped in front of the Jinting Inn.
“Tick, tick!”
At this time, the sky outside was scared of drizzle. Spring rain was as expensive as oil, and this year will definitely be a bumper year.
The servant who followed the carriage first came to the front of the carriage and held up two oil paper umbrellas. When he opened the carriage, he found two little girls who got off the carriage.
These two girls are delicate and well-shaped, but their faces are covered with black gauze, so they can't see clearly.
"It's the Gongsun family."
"The Gongsun family of Ju Shang is here!"
Many of the people watching were from major business companies in Chang'an. They were a little moved when they saw Qin Huang's recruitment, but they did not dare to be the first person to try the new.
I never expected that it was the Gongsun family who moved first.
Since the death of the previous generation of Gongsun family, the head of the Gongsun family has become a pair of daughters of the former Gongsun family head.
There are old folk sayings that women are in charge of their homes and their houses collapse.
This sentence describes a woman who is indecisive and shallow in her knowledge.
This is the case with the women in ordinary people, let alone the huge family business of the Gongsun family.
However, I never thought that not only did these two girls lead the Gongsun family's house collapse, but instead had a sense of prosperity.
Today, the Gongsun sisters were the first to meet Qin Huang, which made the managers of other businesses in Chang'an City feel a little ashamed.
A group of men are actually younger than two women in their courage in doing things, which is really embarrassing.
"Your Majesty, the people from Gongsun Shangshang are here!" Fusu was playing chess with Li You, and the guards outside the door came to report.
Fusu nodded and ordered: "It's raining outside, please invite the guests from Gongsun's family to come in!"
As the saying goes, if you buy horse bones with a wealth of money, the Gongsun family, as the first one, should naturally be more polite to them.
"How is it? What should I come will come naturally." Fusu said to Li You with a smile.
"Ka, da, da."
A crisp sound of footsteps sounded, and a pair of sisters with very good looks walked into the hall.
In two-color dresses, both sisters were slightly decorated, but there was a touch of charm between the corners of their eyes and eyebrows.
After entering the inn, the black veil on the faces of the two sisters had naturally been removed. After all, if you meet the king of a country, it would be a great transcendence.
When Fusu saw that these two acquaintances were actually two acquaintances.
"Minister Gongsun, I have met Emperor Qin!" Gongsun and Gongsun Xiaoniang bowed to Fusu together.
"I never thought that the two Miss Gongsun were the heads of this great Shang Gongsun clan!" Fusu was quite shocked in his tone.
You know, the status of women in this era is very low, and it is quite difficult for two girls to support the huge Gongsun family.
"Hmph, who said women are not as good as men?" Gongsun Xiaoniang said unconvincedly.
Fusu thought, this woman is really inferior to a man. For example, this man can stab a woman with that shot, but the woman can only passively.
"My little girl, don't be rude to Emperor Qin." Aunt Gongsun scolded.
Her sister is a stingy and has been lawless since she was a child. Since she dared to be so rude in front of Emperor Qin, she was really spoiled by herself.
"It's okay, it's okay."
"Everyone is young, and we are about the same age. The two Gongsun girls should treat me with their elder brother's courtesy, and they seem closer." Fusu smiled slightly.
Fusu thought to himself, these twin sisters are the best. If this were in the club in his previous life, it would have to start at least eight thousand.
Fusu had already made plans in his mind, first let them call him brother, then love brother, and finally it was natural.
At that time, the sister will give birth to a son for herself and the sister will give birth to a daughter for herself, and she will be considered as having both children.
It’s true that in just a while, Fusu has even thought of the child’s name.
After all, my family has the throne to inherit. Marry more and give birth to a few more, which is also for the sake of the country.
"Ahem!"
"Please sit down, two ladies Gongsun!" Fusu put the matter of giving birth in his mind aside, and at this time he had to talk about the main things first.
"The two girls Gongsun come here, but want to discuss business matters with me?" Fusu asked at the two.
"If you don't negotiate with you, is it possible to talk about love?" Gongsun Xiaoniang said angrily, obviously because she was worried about the last time she was in Wuling and Fusu had never made an appointment.
"Well, this is not bad. My harem is now very vacant!" How could Fusu be teased by a little girl and immediately fought back.
"Bah, you think you are beautiful!" Gongsun Xiaoniang spat lightly.
Gongsun Xiaoniang's words made herself and her sister blush.
"Emperor Qin, I wonder if we go to Daqian to do business, will we be considered an official businessman or a private businessman?" Gongsun asked about the important matter to relieve the embarrassment.
The Qin Dynasty was mostly dominated by officials and businessmen, with markets in various counties. The markets of the Qin Dynasty were different from the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty was free trade, while the Qin Dynasty was controlled by the official. Merchants needed to hand over the goods to the government and sold them uniformly by the government.
Therefore, there will be a problem, that is, the government will give priority to selling goods from officials and merchants who cooperate with the government. Only when the official and merchants are short of goods will the private merchants be sold.
Even sometimes, even if the official and commercial goods are sold, they will not sell private goods.
It is precisely because of this situation that over time, the caravans of the six countries were no longer willing to go to the Qin Dynasty to trade.
It is normal for the government to suppress the investment. Although this investment was personally led by Emperor Qin, when it comes to Qin, Emperor Qin would never be able to pay attention to them all day long.
Therefore, Gongsun Auntie asked this question.
It is not impossible to trade in Daqin, but if you want to trade in Daqin without losing money, you have to find a way to become an official and businessman. Only by binding the interests of the government can their foreign businessman continue to live in Daqin.
When Mrs. Gongsun asked this, we can see how collusion between officials and businessmen in the Qin Dynasty was in the eyes of merchants from the six countries.
Even merchants from the six countries would rather go to the most barbaric Yuan country to trade than go to the Qin Dynasty.
Although the Yuan people were rude and savage, after they took advantage, they could at least make the businessman's business go on.
Although the market of Daqin is large, it has been monopolized by the old clans and governments of Daqin, and foreign chambers of commerce have no way to survive.
