    ?

    In May, the imperial capital became a little hotter.

    Pedestrians on the street are wearing less and less clothes, and they are all thinly dressed.

    Today's Imperial Capital City, as the imperial capital of the Xia Kingdom, has not only the people of Tianzhu, but also countless people from the Tang Dynasty, and countless people who have migrated here.  Countless merchants filled it, making the business of the imperial capital extremely prosperous.  The prosperity of commerce has also attracted countless merchants from the Tang Dynasty here, and these merchants have made countless money.

    Because the silk, satin, cloth, paper, tea, etc. of the Tang Dynasty, and even many utensils of the Tang Dynasty, were all popular in Tianzhu.

    Although the industries under Du Qi's command also deal in tea, cloth, etc., the market in Tianzhu is huge, so the businessmen from the Tang Dynasty who gather here can all get a piece of the pie and make money from it.

    Even, the merchants of Datang who were doing business in the Imperial Capital City even set up a special hall.

    The name is An Le Tang.

    The implication is to live in peace and happiness.

    ?I hope that all Datang merchants in the Anle Hall will abide by the law and the rules.  Because this is the country of Xia and the Tang Dynasty.  Only by following the rules can we do business for a long time.

    An Le Hall is located in the inner city of the imperial capital.

    is in the south of the city.

    The house in An Le Tang is not very spacious or grand, it is just decorated according to the style of the Tang Dynasty house.  Inside the house, there are attendants who are responsible for cleaning, but on weekdays, there are usually few people here.

    After all, the Datang merchants in An Le Tang are all busy with their own affairs.

    Only on the first day of every month, all the merchants of Anletang will gather together to talk about the recent status quo, the latest happenings, and the difficulties encountered. Everyone helps each other.

    The first day of the new year is the set time.

    As for the rest of the time, there are usually special matters, and special arrangements will be made to notify them.

    At this moment, at the gate of An Le Hall, a carriage stopped.

    The curtain of the carriage was raised.

    However, he saw an old man in his early fifties with a bright head coming down from the carriage.

    The old man's name is Pei Qingzhi.

    He was born in the Hedong Pei family of the Tang Dynasty, but he is not a direct descendant of the Hedong Pei family, but a collateral lineage.  Early in the morning, he was in charge of doing business.  With the commercial development of the Imperial Capital City, and Xia Guo accepted the merchants of the Tang Dynasty and allowed the merchants of the Tang Dynasty to do business, the Pei family sent Pei Qingzhi to the Imperial Capital City to take charge of the Pei family's business.

    The business of the Pei family covers a wide range, from food, to cloth, to tea, and even some salt production.  In addition, there are many other industries, which involve a wide range of industries.

    The Pei family's business has the greatest influence in the imperial capital, so Pei Qingzhi is the head of the chamber of commerce.

    He is the president.

    The rest of the merchants are members of An Le Tang.

    After Pei Qingzhi stepped in, he went straight to the main seat in the lobby, and then waited quietly.  Today is not the first day of the month, and it stands to reason that it is not the time to gather together.  However, Pei Qingzhi notified everyone, because just today, a special event happened, Xia Guo's government issued a notice, and the target of the announcement was the merchants of Datang.

    ?The notice stated that Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, wantedonly arrested Xia Guo's businessmen in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.  Under normal circumstances, Xia Guo should have fought back crazily, and also arrested the Datang merchants in Xia Guo to return blood with blood.

    However, the government said that the merchants in Xia Kingdom should do business with peace of mind.

    Xia Guo will not target any merchant.  As long as they are from the Datang side who do business in the country of Xia in a law-abiding manner, they will be protected and recognized.

    This is the attitude of the Xia Kingdom court.

    It is also Du Qi's guarantee.

    Pei Qingzhi heard the news, so he immediately notified everyone to come and see him.

    Xia Guo responded, and they should also respond.

    Time goes by little by little.

    Not long after, a businessman stepped in. The visitor was smiling, with a Maitreya-like smile on his chubby face.  He cupped his hands and bowed to Pei Qingzhi before taking a seat below.

    Immediately afterwards, another businessman entered.

    In the end, there were thirty-six people who were seated in the lobby.

    These are all members of An Le Tang.

    All of them were people from Datang who were doing business in the imperial capital and even the Xia Kingdom, and these were all quite powerful businessmen.  In fact, in the Imperial Capital City, there are still many ordinary merchants of the Tang Dynasty. These people are not even qualified to enter the An Le Hall because of their small businesses.

    Pei Qingzhi looked around? Stroking the beard under his chin, he nodded and said, "Li Xi's arrangement is very good. The old man thinks that Li Xi's suggestion can be adopted, what do you think?"

    Following Pei Qingzhi's statement, the rest of the people nodded in agreement.

    All agree.

    Seeing that the opinions reached a consensus, Pei Qingzhi continued: "Apart from Li Xi's suggestion, do you have any other suggestions?"

    Everyone shook their heads.

    They all said that they would follow Li Xi's suggestion.

    Pei Qingzhi said in a deep voice: "Li Xi's suggestions are feasible, but these suggestions are only applicable to Datang. But when we do business in Datang, we still have to express our position. Our statement is very simple, that is, we are only  Merchants are only engaged in business, not involved in politics, and will not participate in wars. Whether it is the Xia Kingdom or the Tang Dynasty, we will not interfere."

    After a pause, Pei Qingzhi said: "The war belongs to the war, the two countries belong to the two countries, and we are just businessmen, only responsible for doing business. By making such a statement, one is to show Du Qi that we are definitely willing to abide by the law. On the other hand,  It is to show the country that we are people from Datang, and we will not fall to Du Qi's side just because of a war."

    "Pei Gong, I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

    At this moment, someone spoke again.

    The speaker's name was Gao Shi.

    He is about the same age as Pei Qingzhi, and he is also good in business, but he lacks background and is just an ordinary businessman.  With a calm expression, he said, "Pei Gong, the Tang Dynasty is now targeting Xia's businessmen everywhere. It can be seen that the emperor is already a little impatient, and even wants to target Du Qi."

    "Especially the emperor lost to Du Qi again and again. Although we express our position to show that we are from the Tang Dynasty, in fact, the emperor may not appreciate it or agree."

    "So at the moment, I don't think it is suitable for us to make this statement. We just need to play the Manmin Book and ask our respective families to work hard to stir up public opinion."

    Gao Shi said: "After all, we played the Wanmin Book for the sake of our stable business in the Xia Kingdom. Even if the emperor has some ideas, it is difficult to criticize him. But it will be different if we express our position again."

    Hearing this, Pei Qingzhi also fell into deep thought.

    There is some truth to Gao Shi's words.

    Li Xi said: "Pei Gong, I think Gao Gong's words have a certain truth. For Xia Guo, we have played the Wanmin Book, and our respective families have also made efforts. It is already a timely move. For us, we don't  We need to take action. But we have taken action, and we have done our best. I believe that the Emperor Xia will not criticize us."

    As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded.

    They all agreed with Li Xi's words.

    After Pei Qingzhi finished listening, he said, "In that case, follow Brother Gao Shi's suggestion and not make a joint statement. Our actions will be arranged according to Li Xi's suggestion."

    Immediately, Pei Qingzhi quickly arranged the layout and asked everyone to prepare the Wanmin Book.

    After everything was arranged properly, Pei Qingzhi began to ask people to sign and draw a pledge. Just for this matter alone, it must take time to think about it, because this book of Wanmin must not only be for the people in Anletang, but also involve other people in the Xia Kingdom.  A businessman of the Tang Dynasty.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
