Time Travel: I am the idle king Li Shen and Li Shimin in the Tang Dynasty
Chapter 80 Selling Paper
Two days later, early in the morning, this group of dandies divided into two teams and headed straight to the east and west cities. Li Shen went to Dongshi Shop first. There were already people standing in front of the door, some in rich clothes and some in simple clothes. There are also servants dressed up. According to Li Shen’s explanation. Servants from various prefectures began to organize people to line up. The originally chaotic crowd formed four lines.
At the auspicious time, he arrived at the shop and opened the door, with four long tables placed at the door. The shopkeeper announced the business was open, and the guys started selling paper. A bundle of ten large pieces of paper costs twenty cents. When they return, they can cut out at least twenty pieces of paper themselves. If it is as big as a book, it can be cut into forty sheets.
The clerk is limited to only ten tickets per person per day, because the price may drop, so try to buy as little as possible. And Li Shen confessed. Do not look down upon those common people who buy scattered items. Heavy fines if found. The scene was extremely heated.
No matter whether you are a noble son or a common man, you must abide by the rules. They don't dare to disobey the rules. Li Shen was standing on the second floor with fifty or sixty Chang'an scum, watching them. These dudes don't care whose son you are.
There is nothing wrong with Li Shen, but there is something going on over there in West City. Everything was going well. Who would have thought that a man dressed as a nobleman would have to wrap up all the paper. The clerk said there was a purchase limit, but the gentleman didn't listen and gave the clerk a slap in the face. The leaders here were Cheng Chusi, Cheng Chuliang and Zhang Gongjin's son Zhang Xiangxiang. Seeing this situation, they led a group of dandies downstairs.
During the incident, Zhang Xingcheng's son Zhang Liangke came up to look at this person and asked: "I don't know who you are. You dare to make trouble here and it is unlawful. Aren't you afraid of being arrested and taken to the county government to be punished?" This was arranged in advance. The children of civilian officials are responsible for negotiation, and the children of military attachés are responsible for taking action.
"Hmph, why do you have to restrict it when you sell it to me? Is it possible that the store is bullying customers?" Your young master raised his head and replied arrogantly.
"This gentleman. We also limit the purchase so that many scholars can buy paper. Now our production is limited. We want everyone to have paper available." Zhang Liangke said unhurriedly, but it didn't make sense anyway. Someone takes action.
"Huh, these low-class people deserve paper. I've wrapped all your paper today. If you don't sell it to me, you can't sell it. Come on." The man shouted and dozens of people came from around. He looks like a thug at first glance
"Oh? In this case, why don't we go to the side and talk. Let's see how much paper you want." Zhang Liangke didn't say much when he saw that there was trouble. He looked back at Cheng Chusi. The latter understood immediately and stepped forward to speak.
"Let's go and talk to this gentleman next to him. Let's discuss the price in detail." Cheng Chusi made a gesture of invitation. Have a good attitude and smile.
Seeing Cheng Chusi's attitude, your noble son thought that they had given in. They followed Cheng Chusi and others to the alley next to them. He thought this was the back door into the shop. Unexpectedly, when Cheng Chusi took him in, there were fifty or sixty people inside. I immediately knew that this was going to be a war.
"This gentleman, I don't know your surname." Cheng Chusi said with a playful smile.
"What are you going to do? I tell you that this young master comes from the Wang family's eldest house. You dare to attack me."
"Oh. I heard that a third-generation descendant of the Wang family named Wang Yuan recently came here and is arrogant and domineering in Chang'an. Could it be you?" Zhang Gongjin's son Zhang Xiang asked.
"Well, it's good to know. I know that you are also the sons of the Duke and the Minister. But you should not go against my Wang family. My Wang family's paper industry is all over the Tang Dynasty. You dare to target us and sell it at a low price. Today's visit of the Young Master is just a small punishment. That's all." Wang Yuan was arrogant.
"You have been in Chang'an for more than ten days, and you haven't asked about who we are. Do you dare to block our way of making money? Even if your father comes, it won't work. Brother, show him some color. Let him know Chang'an is not Taiyuan. We are not easy to offend either. Beat." After Cheng Chusi finished speaking, he punched Wang Yuan in the face. This punch made Wang Yuan's eyes glow with gold.
He is a scholar and his subordinates used to do it, so how could he defeat this bunch of dandies? When Wang Yuan's men saw their master being beaten, they wanted to step forward. Fifty or sixty servants brought by the dandies also swarmed up.
The scene was chaotic for a while. Cheng Chusi and Cheng Chuliang are worthy of being brothers. It's really like brothers fighting as father and son in battle. When the two caught Wang Yuan, they beat him up. Beating and scolding at the same time
"Let you be arrogant, let you stop me from making money. Let you stop me from going to the brothel. Let you stop me from finding Miss Liu Chanyu." Liu Chanyu is the oiran of Chunxiang House.
After a while, dozens of Wang Yuan's servants were knocked to the ground, wailing and unable to get up. Wang Yuan curled up with his head in his hands. The two brothers Cheng Chusi were actually very measured in their actions. He wouldn't hit the vital part, but it still left Wang Yuan bruised and swollen.
"Stop, stop, don't move." At this moment, the patrolling Jinwu Guards passed by and saw the scene in the alley and quickly stepped forward to stop them.
"It's okay if you are born first." Zhang Liangke stopped him. Then Zhang Liangke walked up to Jin Wuwei. Pointing at the people underground, he said: "This group of people gathered to make trouble. They extorted shops. If the extortion failed, they would rob them. The leader also allowed slaves to hurt people. Chang'an is a place of law. We just see injustice on the road. Take them all back and treat them well." Torture them. We wonder if their purpose is to disrupt Chang'an City and plot rebellion. Here is the file of the matter, and we have all signed it." He took out a piece of paper from his arms. It's all their signatures.
The leader of the Jinwu Guard recognized these dandies at a glance. How can we not recognize each other after fighting all day long? But he didn't recognize the person lying on the ground. And when you look at this piece of paper, you can tell that they wrote it in advance. The writing has long been dry. Who can write documents when they can fight?
"Yes. Take them all to the county government for interrogation. We suspect they are plotting rebellion." Cheng Chuliang also stepped forward and said. Still a bad scholar. Does this mean treason? Regardless of the real or fake Jin Wuwei, they have to be taken to the county government.
Sure enough, the leader of Jinwu Guard didn't want to take care of it. But this group of dandies insisted that they suspected of treason. He had to take the person to the county government office, otherwise if it was true, he would also be executed. So a group of Jinwu guards took dozens of wounded people to Jingzhao Mansion. Before Wang Yuan left, he said to them, "Just wait for me."
No one cares about his threats. This group of people are also used to it. Continue to go back and watch the scene. In the afternoon, there were some businessmen from other places. Li Shen and Wang Hongfu selected some that worked well with them to sell a batch and asked them to take them back to the local area for sale.
And tell them it must be lower than the price of paper in the world. Because Li Shen has already given them profits. In order to prevent them from cooperating with the family. Li Shen chose several merchants in each place. And some dudes went to find out the news. Don't be afraid of them cheating.
There are too many people coming to buy today. Nearby counties also came to buy. Many people are afraid that such cheap paper will no longer be available. At noon, people from Jinwu Guard came over to help maintain order. Tens of thousands of people poured into Chang'an at once, which was indeed a safety hazard.
By evening all the paper was basically sold out. Towards evening, all the dandies arrived at Li Shen's palace, where a banquet had already begun. Li Shen is going to hold a celebration party to celebrate.
