After Qian Dafang and the others left, these people entered the lobby and bowed to Han Yi.

"I hope Secretary Han will forgive me if I take the liberty to visit and disturb you."

The other people also looked humble and polite.

You should know that these nobles used to regard Han Yi as an alien, and they were reluctant to look at him when they met. They usually glanced at him sideways. Now this situation is slowly changing, and Han Yi is being recognized by some nobles. This is because Han Yi's policies, when they first came out, looked unconventional, which traditional nobles could not accept. Now which policies are slowly showing good results, they have begun to understand. In addition, Han Yi officials are getting bigger and bigger, and the people support Han Yi very much, and they cannot stand at the high place to look down at Han Yi.

"Peaceful! Praise!"

Han Yi bowed slightly and then reached out and said, "Please sit down everyone."

Then they saluted each other with Zheng Shanxing and sat down.

Han Yi asked, "I wonder why you are visiting the municipal office?"

Qu Zhonghuai said, "My waiting for here should be the same as the purpose of those merchants here just now."

"Pickled vegetables?" Han Yi seemed unsure.

Qu Zhonghuai nodded.

Han Yi said a little surprised: "But as far as I know, you have always sneered at the business matters, why are you today?"

Qu Zhonghuai said: "No, no, we are not sneering at the business. In fact, my family also sells food, and trades, and trades in exchange for the goods they need. Since ancient times, even sages have been like this. How can we hate business? We just think that righteousness is more important than profit, and we don't like those who are profit-oriented. We admire businessmen like Zheng Zhushi very much."

Zheng Shanxing said modestly: "I won't be too rewarded, and I won't be able to take responsibility for it."

Whether it is black or white is up to you, what else can I say! Han Yi has seen too many nobles, born as a human being, and speaks politely, but he looks down on others in his heart and smiles playfully: "That is to say, you are interested in buying and selling pickled vegetables?"

Qu Zhonghuai and others nodded.

One of the youngest guys said: "Not only that, we have been studying Han Shangshu's economics and have been inspired by it. My Zhao family has long been studying Han Shangshu's management ideas in economics, adopted an employment system, managed their own arable land, allocated manpower reasonably, and used arable land resources to raise some poultry."

Several more people began to explain their understanding of economics.

Judging from their words, they are not complimenting Han Yi. They are really learning, but they value production, management, rather than reselling. Moreover, they seem very excited when they speak, which shocked Han Yi.

In fact, capitalism has also appeared in Chinese history. Large-scale workshops appeared in the Song and Ming dynasties. However, it only appeared in developed cities. The rural areas have never had capitalization. For thousands of years, the rural areas have continued the small peasant economy until after the founding of New China.

And these people are all big families in the countryside, not living in Chang'an City.

Han Yi didn't expect that he had affected rural areas.

This was also a great encouragement for him, so he put away his scruples and started chatting with them actively, and found that they were more enlightened than they thought.

In fact, the aristocrats are the least pedantic group. They are more likely to accept new things because their thoughts are free and open. After all, during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the aristocrats were on par with the emperor, and no one could restrain their thoughts. In the Spring and Autumn Period, almost the aristocrats were promoting reforms and seeking change. They just said that their own principles and some things were firmly opposed, which was their foundation. Of course, there were also some pedantic elements among them, but pedantic also showed their freedom of thought, because they could pursue their ideals, and the beggar wanted to be pedantic, but he did not have the qualification to be pedantic.

Among the younger generation of aristocrats, many people have begun to accept new ideas.

The reason why they valued this pickled vegetables was not that they were very interested in this, or that they thought there was great profit here, but that they also wanted to give it a try. They saw the changes in Chang'an. Originally, the Zheng family was not considered a wealthy family in Chang'an because the Zheng family's base camp was in Xingyang and there was not much land in Guanzhong. Now Zheng Shanxing's wealth alone is more wealth than the wealth added by everyone in the Chang'an Zheng family. Walking on the street, five out of ten were dressed in a free and beautiful service. They all saw it. They also believed that if they did not change, they might be replaced.

Although they were from old-school aristocrats, their ideological changes allowed them to rely on the upstarts led by Han Yi, to advocate business, and to advocate the Six Sages of the Sages, because the facts show that the Confucian and Taoist studies cannot make people rich, but the Six Sages of the Sages can.

Compared to Qian Dafang and others, Qu Zhonghuai and others were more interested in learning from Han Yi. They were newcomers and many places were not clear. Han Yi also explained to them one by one, and they were much more patient than they were just now. It was not because they were aristocrats, but because they promoted the rural capitalization process. Because Han Yi’s policies were anti-small peasant economics, he never agreed to the small peasant economic model. He was actively changing this point, which required the support of these newcomers.

After more than an hour of talk, the whole process was very harmonious. Because the nobles were all very modest and were not ashamed to ask, Han Yi would naturally not care about the past with them.

After they left, Han Yi let out a sigh of relief and shook his head and said, "I really didn't expect this!"

Zheng Shanxing said, "What's the unexpected thing? These high-ranking surnames are not saints. They also eat grains and grains, and they yearn for a wealthy life."

"That's right, but they have always looked down on me, but now they come to ask for advice. Shouldn't I be surprised?"

"This is all a year or two ago." Zheng Shanxing smiled and said, "Now people outside think that even if you are a groom, it is better to be a landlord."

"Really or not?"

"What are you doing?" Zheng Shanxing said: "I won't say anything about businessmen like Taoci, Qian Dafang, and others. Even Du Zuhua and Xiong from Fengfei Tower have become famous wealthy people in Chang'an, but what did they do before? Everyone sees this. If you don't believe it, go out to recruit grooms, but I'm afraid there are no fewer people who participate in the imperial examination."

Han Yi said, "It seems that if you want to have dinner with me in the future, you have to pay first."

"You're not short of this money."

Zheng Shanxing laughed and said, "There may be another reason. They are all young generations just now, but they are all over the age of twentieth. When they get married, they may face the situation of separation. Their family is rich, but once they are separated, their wealth will become very small. They have to find ways to expand their business, either to merge land or to join the government. However, the merger of land is illegal. In addition, your employment system has led to the people being more willing to rent the land to merchants and then work in workshops instead of being tenant farmers. They cannot accumulate wealth immediately after entering the government. Now that business is developing so well, it is actually reasonable for them to choose business."

Han Yi nodded thoughtfully and said, "You should have told me this a long time ago."

"You are as expected as God, and I think it's all within your calculations."

"But a wise man will make a mistake in his mind!"

Zheng Shanxing laughed and said, "Then let's talk about the nine hundred and ninety-nine gains outside of the loss. Are you really planning to borrow money from the Jinxing store and go to Liangzhou to build the workshop first?"

"I've told you everything, can this be fake?" Han Yi said.

Zheng Shanxing said curiously: "But why do you do this? I haven't heard of it yet. First build the workshop and then wait for the merchants to go. Generally, the merchants will build it themselves. Even if you want to take over all this project, you have to wait until you sign a contract with the merchants before building it. There is no need to be so anxious."

"I'm in a hurry?"

Han Yi sighed helplessly and said, "In Tuyuhun, I have told you that they must rely on salt to restore their economy, or obtain the goods they lack from the Central Plains from the salt trade. We can take it slowly, but they can't wait. The salt will be prepared and will be transported to the Central Plains soon. If we wait for the merchants to consider it and go there to build a workshop, how long will it take? I will just build it first. They will be able to start construction directly after they go there. Anyway, as long as this transaction is done carefully, there will be no loss. On the one hand, there will be less demand, and on the other hand, the demand will become larger and larger, because once water transportation develops, it requires a lot of dry food, and there is still sea transportation developing there."

"So that's it!" Zheng Shanxing nodded with a smile. Han Yi always takes one step in his work. Looking at five steps, which is also the reason for his success. He asked again: "What's the situation in the Sixth Academy of the Sage?"

Han Yi said: "It's pretty good. There are quite a few people who have signed up. I just don't know if they can pass the exam. I really hope to find a few buried arithmetic geniuses. At present, the Ministry of Revenue needs talents in this area too much. Otherwise, I have to do everything and I will be exhausted."

"It seems that Mr. Zhang and I have not helped you too much."

"I didn't say that. These are two things, because as far as finance is concerned, the most important thing is data. Confucianism and Taoism are not effective. As the Minister of Revenue, if I value righteousness but not profit, I have to find a way to raise your wages every day. The finance will sooner or later fail. If I want to manage the finance well, I need a very detailed database, and this requires a genius in this area."

Zheng Shanxing nodded. If a family asks gentleman to manage money, can they control money? How could gentleman care about the small amount of money for food, rice, oil and salt? But the accumulation is too small. He said: "Your issue of the Tang Dynasty Daily looks scary. So many important news are sent at the same time, I am afraid that everyone will not be able to digest it for a while."

"I want to do it step by step, but the time has come, and I have to go with my head hard!" Han Yi shook his head, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Why haven't I seen Mr. Lu for so long? I want to thank his wife for delivering Wuyi's baby."

Zheng Shanxing said: "Brother Lu is in Xishi, and I can see him just now."

"Is that so? He came to the West Market to buy things?" Han Yi said curiously.

"Don't you know that Brother Lu opened a pharmacy in West City?"

"I don't know very well!" Han Yi shook his head and said in surprise: "Why did he come to Xicheng to open a pharmacy? Isn't it good to be in my North Lane?"

Zheng Shanxing laughed and said, "How big is your north alley and the rent is expensive. There are more places in the west city than your north alley. As more and more merchants, even the open space on the south side has built shops."

Han Yi said: "That is to say, Mr. Lu opened a large pharmacy shop."

Zheng Shanxing nodded and said, "Instead of asking me here, why not go over and take a look with me."

"Let's go!"

The two of them left the municipal office and came to Xishi Street. They saw that the people were coming and going, which was even more lively than before when they were the most lively, because everyone was used to buying and selling, and they didn’t do everything themselves. This can only be said that Chang'an is Kyoto, and the industry and commerce here are developing the most rapidly. Everyone earned money, not food, and they didn’t have time to prepare straw mats at home, and they all went to the market to buy them.

This is also what Han Yi guaranteed to the businessmen, and it is now being implemented step by step.

"Wow! Your clothes with the beauty of freedom are very good. Look at this street, many people are wearing your clothes with the beauty of freedom." Han Yi smiled at Zheng Shanxing while walking. After he came back, he was busy and took a special passage to the north alley, for fear of being entangled by Qian Dafang and others, so he never paid attention. When he came today, the carriage was parked directly at the gate of the city office because he was in a hurry.

Zheng Shanxing smiled and said, "It's thanks to you."

Han Yi glanced at Zheng Shanxing in confusion.

Zheng Shanxing said: "This is all because of your assembly line model. Nowadays, many people have gone to work in the workshop, but wide robes and big sleeves are not suitable for work in the workshop. Moreover, there was no assembly line before, and there was no suitable service in this regard. On the contrary, our relatively tight service of the beauty of freedom is very suitable for working in the workshop. Moreover, the people in our garment workshop have long tailored a set of services suitable for the assembly line. Now, people who wear our free and cheap service on the street are basically working in the workshop."

Han Yi smiled and said, "I should have thought of this a long time ago."

Serve this thing is not made by saints, but is formed according to the customs of a nation and has become a tradition over time. However, now that the working class has begun to develop, a kind of service suitable for workers will naturally appear. This is normal, and no one deliberately does this.

While chatting, the two of them headed to New Zealand City, which was separated by a street, because the West City had been marked long ago and could not expand outward, so they must be together.

Turning a corner, Zheng Shanxing pointed to a large room with three or four hundred square meters across the street and said, "That is Brother Lu's medicine shop!"

Han Yi said in surprise: "So big!"

Zheng Shanxing just smiled.

When they arrived at the Lu family pharmacy shop, the guardian came up and quickly invited Zheng Shanxing and Han Yi.

When I came inside, it was definitely the largest pharmacy in the folk and was only smaller than the pharmacy in the palace. I saw many doctors prescribe medicine for patients, but they did not take medicines in one bag, and they were all given to patients in packs.

"It's interesting!" Han Yi smiled.

"The two distinguished guests come to the door, and Lu is wrong and welcomes you. Forgive him for his crimes, forgive him for his crimes!" I saw Lu Shigua walking out of the inner room and bowing to the two of them one after another.

The two saluted each other.

Lu Shigua said to Han Yi again: "Brother Han, don't be fine!"

"Don't be fine!" Han Yi smiled and nodded, looked around and said, "Young Master Lu, the scale of your pharmacy is really big!"

Mr. Lu laughed and said, "This is all thanks to you!"

"How do you say this?" Han Yi said in a daze.

"Speak inside, speak inside!"

The Lu Shi Gua first invited the two of them into the inner room. The inner room was clean and tidy and spotless, but the decoration was relatively simple, which was very consistent with the style of the Lu Shi Gua.

Lu Shigua first poured a cup of tea for the two of them, sat down, and said, "If it weren't for your influence from Brother Han, I wouldn't have thought of opening such a pharmacy."

Han Yi smiled and said, "I always hear this when I come back, but I don't know what I did."

Mr. Lu laughed and then said, "Do you dare to ask Brother Han why free and beautiful clothes are cheaper?"

Han Yi said: "That's because the shipment volume is large and there is a complete production line, which can make small profits and quick turnovers."

"The truth is the same!" Lu Shigua sighed and said, "The pharmacy I opened in Beixiang was no different from the previous pharmacy. This medicine is relatively expensive, but this pharmacy is related to life. Should it be mainly profitable or human life?"
