The local bustling street is not very wide. Compared to the Vermilion Bird Street in Great Tang, the difference is not a little bit. You must know that the Vermilion Bird Street in Great Tang has a width of more than 100 steps, which is equivalent to 150 meters. It is equivalent to 50 lanes in both directions. The width of the main street will be much narrower, only 20 steps, removing the sidewalk on the two sides, the width in the middle can only accommodate 2 Tanks walking side by side, equivalent to two-way 4 lanes.

Because it is the most prosperous area, on both sides are restaurants and restaurants, Brothel is a lot, and there are many to-and-fro crowds, showing the prosperity here.

Li An entire group opened the way with Tank. Grandiose went to the restaurant and made a lot of eyeballs. The return rate is not high. There are even many children. Curious chasing Li An’s team all the way to fully satisfy their curiosity.

Li An does not mind being tracked by these curious children, and is very used to this behavior. When Li An lived in a poor village in the previous life, as long as a car comes from the village, there will always be a large group of children running to see King, just like watching monsters.

The curious children who follow now, just like their own back then, look at it and give people a nostalgic feeling.

In the government office of Xitianzhu, several young businessmen also went to treat guests. Since they had invited officials from the Great Tang, they naturally dared not to invite local officials. Otherwise, they would not face the local officials. After Li An left, They also have to rely on local officials to take care of it.

“What are those businessmen doing here?”

The king looked towards the chief of Harbor and asked.

“King, they are all relatively large local businessmen and invited their ministers to the banquet.”

The chief of Harbor was replied.

King nodded, opened the mouth and said: “Okay, then you go to the banquet! These merchants can bring us rich wealth to Xi Tianzhu, and it is good to have more contacts with them.”

“King, they also invited senior officials from Great Tang to join the feast.”

Chief Harbor said.

“Oh, senior officials of Great Tang are also going.”

King Xi Tianzhu was stunned for a moment, and said, “Hurry up, This King is going to the banquet too, saying that This King is the Governor of the West and your boss.”

“Yes, king.”

The chief of Harbor was complied and complained in a low voice: “Did you not say the same level last night? How did you become a higher level today.”

Soon, King Xi Tianzhu and Chief Harbor took a guard to the banquet.

Because of the short distance, King Xi Tianzhu arrived earlier than Li An, and was welcomed by the merchants ’groups. Those who are all officials, who dare not welcome them, as long as there are complaints in their hearts, they can only endure If you do n’t have this ability, how can you do business?

After going upstairs, King Xi Tianzhu and his courtiers all stood close to the window and stood looking at the scenery outside.

The King had been in the capital and had very few opportunities to come to Harbor. It can be said that he had not visited Harbor for many years. He was surprised when he noticed that the harbour had changed greatly.

And the rapid development of this Harbor is closely related to the increase of Great Tang merchants. Especially in recent years, with the rapid development of Great Tang, there are more and more Great Tang merchants choosing overseas trade, and this is bound to be Drive the development of overseas Harbor, make overseas Harbor develop faster and better.

“In just a few years, the Harbor of Xi Tianzhu has developed like this. This King remembers that when I last came here, it was far from such a prosperous place. This is all your credit.”

The king said.

“King, let Harbor become more and more prosperous. This is what the officials should do, and it is not a merit.”

Chief Harbor said humblely.

“Huh, what’s that, and it’s smoking.”

King Xi Tianzhu was shocked when he saw the Tank coming in the distance.

“King, this should be the armored war chariot of the Tang Army, Minister Li and they will be there soon.”

Chief Harbor has visited Li An’s camp, looked at this weapon, and asked about it, so naturally he knows some.

In order to show the prestige of the Great Tang Empire, Li An traveled 20 tanks and several command vehicles. The grandiose of the entire team was very prestige and gave a strong feeling of shock.

“It turns out that this is the armored war chariot! You can travel without flattery dragging, and it is faster than the horse’s car. It seems that the rumors are true!”

King Xi Tianzhu had heard of the armored war chariot of the Great Tang, but he did n’t believe it. It was difficult for him to imagine how the armored car would walk without horses dragging. Not the so-called erroneous message.

“Majestic, this is so majestic.”

The head of Harbor said intoxicatedly.

“Yes! Great Tang’s armored war chariot is really magnificent. Who can resist such a gleaming war chariot? Great Tang is invincible!”

King Xi Tianzhu immediately dismissed the idea of ​​confrontation with Great Tang. He had originally thought that if he was pressed, he would follow the Tang Army either the fish dies or the net splits, but at this time, he would never dare to think so By the way, even if the Great Tang is persecuting, they can’t fight against the Tang Army, otherwise, simply is not an adversary. He believes that what he sees in front of him is just the tip of the iceberg of the Tang Army war chariot. There must be more iron armor in the Great Tang Empire war chariot.

In addition, since the rumor of the armored war chariot is true, then more advanced weapons about Great Tang will naturally not be fake. So, how did the small Minor Western Paradise Zhu he ruled be powerful Great Tang Opponent.

At the thought of the Lion Country ceding many territories to Great Tang, the king’s heart throbbed. The Great Tang fleet traveled westward and occupied many places. Now that it is in the territory of Xitianzhu, will there be any attempts to occupy a piece of land in Xitianzhu? ? If Great Tang really makes a territorial claim, what should he do?

A strong sorrowful mood haunted King Xitianzhu’s heart. The thing he was very worried about was that Great Tang took a fancy to the fine Harbor, Xitianzhu, and this Harbor was a good port that Xitianzhu had been operating for many years. If the lost Harbor is ceded to Great Tang, it is equivalent to cutting a large piece of meat from Xi Tianzhu, which will be very painful.

“Minister Li, this is it, let’s get off!”

The old businessman said politely.

Li An nodded, let people open the door and take everyone out of the car.

“Yes, it’s a big restaurant, but if compared with Chang’an City’s restaurant, it’s much smaller.”

Li An is not in a hurry to go in, standing outside to take a look at the scenery, get familiar with the surrounding environment, and let the guards enter first, ensuring the absolute safety of the banquet.

King Xi Tianzhu standing on the second floor naturally saw Li An and the others below and asked, “The person standing in the middle is what you call Minister Li!”

“Yes, this is the person. The minister visited him yesterday, which is a good person.”

The chief of Harbor was replied.

“Minister Li, please come inside, these all are local businessmen, they have long wanted to meet Minister Li.”

The shopkeeper came out to greet him and bent down to 90 degrees.

Li An stood tall and entered the hotel happily, and saw several hundred businessmen in the lobby. These people were all wearing better clothes and were relatively older.

In addition to the merchants, there are only chefs and escorts and the others in the restaurant. The total number adds up to more than 1000 people, and the entire room is packed.

The second floor is only accessible by the highest-ranking merchants. The environment is relatively loose, with compartments and halls. In order to be able to be with more merchants, the panels of the compartments have been removed.

A large group of businessmen greeted Li An enthusiastically. Everyone looked towards Li An to understand Li An through his external image.

After a little compliment, the banquet was finally started. Li An, as the protagonist, naturally sat in the best position on the second floor.

However, Li An ’s purpose is not to eat and drink, so he not at all hurried to sit down, but stood close to the railing, looking towards the merchants on the first floor.

“You guys, come here today to meet you, This Official is very happy, you are all businessmen, all pillars, without these businessmen, the city will not prosper, your credit is the greatest, This Official respects you A glass. “

Li An never discriminates against businessmen. He does not think that businessmen are the bottom, but thinks that businessmen are very smart and capable people.

In the society of later generations, the merchant group is the elite class of the whole society, especially the big merchants, it is the elite of the elite, and the people in the whole society yearn to become.

This is naturally because businessmen make a relatively large contribution to the entire society and play a very important role in promoting the prosperity of the entire society. Moreover, businessmen are rich, and with money they can buy a lot of things they want, and even buy To status.

Especially in many Western countries, the establishment of their regime itself represents the interests of the merchant class. Politicians who want to be a head of state must meet the interests of these businessmen. With the support of these businessmen, they can become a head of state. Otherwise, you can only step down, showing the lofty status of the merchant.

In the era of Great Tang, the status of businessmen is the lowest in the whole society. Not only in the era of Great Tang, even in the dynasties before and after, the status of businessmen is also the lowest level.

This is because in such an era, technology is not well developed, productivity is too backward, and it is the top priority for the 100 old people to fill their stomachs. There must be more people engaged in agricultural production in order to feed all people, and if they support businessmen If you raise the status of a businessman, more people will enter the business, which will cause a decline in the number of surnames in 100 farms, which is detrimental to production.

Moreover, in the eyes of the ancients, farming can produce food and build tools can also be used, but the merchant itself does not produce anything, so it can only be ranked last.

Of course, in order to rule the 100 surnames, the ruling class must definitely place their status in the first place to show respect for their status and facilitate the rule of the old 100 surnames.

Farming can produce the most important materials and food, and it is extremely important in the empire. Therefore, in addition to the ruling class, the farmers who farm the land will be ranked second to show the empire’s emphasis on agriculture and food.

Various tools are needed in life. These tools need people to build. This industry is also very important, but it is more important than agriculture. Without tools, the old 100 can bear it, but if there is no food, the old 100 will go crazy. Yes, so the people who make tools can only be ranked last.

As for merchants, they do not produce any items, but are only responsible for transportation and exchange. It is the most cunning industry and the most prosperous industry. It feels treacherous. Therefore, in ancient times, merchants have always been synonymous with profiteer.

The purpose of the ancient empire emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce was to allow more people to grow land and fewer people to do business. This is more in line with ancient productivity.

If there are too few people planting land and too many people doing business, then there are fewer people in charge of production, and if there are more people in charge of exchange, the material of the entire empire will become less. Case.

Moreover, in ancient times, the huge ruling class did not work. In order to maintain the ruling, they had to support the huge army and consumed grain and grass. Therefore, food is often in a state of shortage, and more people must go. Farming can alleviate the problem of food shortage, and merchants can not at all other functions besides being able to promote prosperity.

In other words, it only takes a certain number of businessmen to meet the daily needs of urban residents, and does not need too many businessmen. Otherwise, it is a waste of resources.

For example, in a small city with a population of 1000 households, it is enough to have 2 merchants selling rice. A rice seller is responsible for 5 Hundred Schools of Thought. If 100 surnames buy rice once every 20 days, only 20 5 households with 100 surnames will buy every day. Rice is completely busy. If there are dozens of rice sellers, it will be a waste of manpower. At the same time, it will also make it difficult for merchants to do business.

In the later generations, because the productivity increased, the old 100 people did not worry about eating and drinking. Therefore, more people entered the business field, and there were too many people doing business. This directly led to the difficulty of doing business, and many businesses insisted It will close in a few days and go out of business. Bankruptcy and bankruptcy have become common phenomena.

Therefore, in general, the ancient empire emphasized agriculture and restrained business not at all, as long as this can ensure the harvest of grain, and at the same time, it can avoid too fierce commercial competition and protect the interests of the merchants from the side.

Recognized by Li An, these businessmen are very excited, and all kinds of whispers are heard.

Li An was very pleased towards the merchants, waved his hands to be quiet, and then said: “You, This Official can clearly tell you that this time the Great Tang soldiers marched westward to build the Great Tang Maritime Silk Road. In order to promote the trade development of the countries along the way and promote common prosperity, when the Great Tang Maritime Silk Road is completely completed, your businessmen will live a better life, and you will be able to earn more money more easily. “

“Okay, it’s great, we will have a better life in the future.”

“It seems that the Great Tang Imperial Court is here to help us, the value of this meal please.”

The group of businessmen suddenly exploded.
