Xiao Feng, who was in a heavy mood, saw more along the way, the faster the anger in his heart subsided. Now that he had anger in his heart was empty, it was useless.

The worse the situation, the calmer Xiao Feng felt. This was the mature personality that Xiao Feng had tempered in his eight-year special forces career.

Many things he saw today were not seen in the "Da Tang Weekly" or they could be heard from the prosperous and stable provincial governor's courtyard. Until today, Xiao Feng knew in his heart whether the situation was serious or how corrupt it was.

It should be noted that this is just in Luoyang of the Tang Dynasty. What if it is in the land of the Goryeo Dynasty? What about in their vassal state, Japan? What about in their colony, the Nanyang Islands?

I'm afraid it's a bit more serious than what I see now.

Under the superficial prosperity of the Tang Dynasty and even the Chinese nation, there are many crises hidden.

Although the Tang Dynasty and even the Chinese civilization were still based on agriculture and relying on agriculture, historical development proved that when backward agricultural civilizations encounter developed industrial and commercial civilization, they have no ability to compete.

Being behind will only get beaten, and being behind will only lose the country.

What should I do when faced with this situation?

During this period, I had a rough idea and came up with some solutions, but now it seems that it is still far from enough.

While walking and watching, Xiao Feng was thinking about this question in his heart.

There were constantly passing by various people, the naughty child chasing and playing, the Hanchun girl who quietly spyed her eyes, the literati of literati, the traveling businessman selling gadgets along the street, and even the three hands that secretly peeked at Xiao Feng.

But no one knew that this man walking in the south city of Luoyang with heavy steps was the future of the Tang Dynasty and the future of the entire nation.

This kind of pressure that the entire nation is carried by one person is definitely not something that ordinary people can bear, but at this moment, Xiao Feng has no choice.

A scholar must not be broad-minded and resolute, but the journey is long and hard!

At this moment, Xiao Feng suddenly heard a noise coming from the front, but there was a large circle of people around the inner and outer layers.

Listening through the crowd, Xiao Feng seemed to hear loud arguments and a strange language inside, which sounded somewhat similar to later Korean, and there were some Japanese languages ​​mixed in.

After gently separating the crowd, Xiao Feng squeezed in. The power in his hands was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

When he arrived at the scene, Xiao Feng saw two groups of people confronting each other. On one side were five or six Tang men, one of them was a middle-aged man, and on the other side, a Korean businessman, with six or seven Japanese warriors, and one was a general translator.

Xiao Feng immediately distinguished a rough idea from the conversation between the crowd around him.

It turned out that it was a time-honored brand specializing in alcohol. It seemed that due to operational problems, there was difficulty in turnover. Then it borrowed a short-term loan of 160 silver dollars from a "distribution bank" opened by a Korean businessman. After two months, it was settled to repay it with 200 silver dollars.

As a result, because the "Piaoxiangxing" could not raise the repayment due to the expiration, the "relocation shop" of the Korean merchant was to take the store's land deed and the house deed to collect the store.

This is called silver dollar, which is a hard currency circulating in the Goryeo Dynasty, just like the gold dollar, which is a hard currency circulating in the Goryeo Dynasty. Compared with the Kaiyuan Tongbao of the Tang Dynasty, the ratio is equivalent to one gold dollar and one silver dollar is equivalent to one thousand literary Tongbao of the Tang Dynasty.

Similarly, because of the popularity of Goryeo gold, dollar and silver dollars, the Central Plains countries also followed suit and began to cast their respective gold, dollar and silver dollars, with similar sizes and weights.

Xiao Feng was not surprised that after the economic prosperity, gold and silver would inevitably become hard currency, but a large-scale popularity like the current one was a little earlier than normal history.

This "adjusting business" is also a new industry brought by Korean businessmen. Strictly speaking, it is the "wealth loan" of later generations, and the monthly interest rate is usually more than 10%.

"well……"

At this time, an old man next to Xiao Feng sighed softly, and then said to the person next to him: "This is probably the ninth store in Nanshi this year. It was all because of business difficulties. Then he borrowed money from the transfer store, but he couldn't pay it back. He was forced to give up the store and was bought by the rich Goryeo and opened a new Goryeo shop... This time he entered the transfer store, he almost died. He borrowed this Piaoxiang Store three times, from one hundred silver dollars, and in more than half a year, they had to come out the first two times, but this time..."

The middle-aged man around him shook his head: "You remember wrongly. This is the tenth store that can be called out for the font size this year... But there is no way out. We Tang merchants can't beat the Goryeo. We can't get their good things. Even if they raise the price extremely high, there are many buyers. And we use the method of lowering the price to grab our ordinary business. So what way do we have to live?"

"Yes, Piaoxiangxing is over, but I don't know how many more companies will collapse this year..." The old man's tone was helpless.

At this time, the dispute between the parties became fierce again. It turned out that it was the young master of "Piaoxiangxing". He wanted the other party to be lenient for one month and waited for the land at home to be sold, and he paid back the loan, but the other party did not allow it.

The competition was fierce, and the Korean merchant looked impatient and said a few words to the leading Japanese samurai beside him. Then he heard the leader of the Japanese samurai nodding: "Hayi!"

Then, the six or seven Japanese warriors showed a cruel look on their faces. Then there was a clamor, and they all pulled out the sharp Japanese swords in their hands and approached several of the "Piaoxiangxing" owners and friends.

Seeing the Japanese samurai showing a fierce look, the young master who "Piaoxiangxing" was extremely angry and helpless. The group of people were forced to retreat several steps, and then the Korean merchants walked towards the store arrogantly.

The arrogance of the Goryeo businessmen and their lackeys made the onlookers uproar, and everyone showed hatred.

"stop!"

At this critical moment, I heard footsteps coming, but ten Tang soldiers rushed over. I guess they were the Tang soldiers who happened to patrol by Nancheng.

Before the onlookers could breathe a sigh of relief, the old man who had spoken before said again: "It's useless. They have land deeds, house deeds, and promissory notes in their hands. Even if the government comes forward, it will be useless. Not to mention this security sergeant."

After wandering around the shop for a few times, the Goryeo merchant left the shop, leaving two Japanese samurai guards, and then left the shop with several other samurai and translators, and swaggered away.

After the Goryeo businessman walked a little further, Xiao Feng pretended to be nothing and followed the people from afar.

After following the Korean businessman back to his "replacement service", Xiao Feng secretly wrote down this place in his heart, and then saw the situation around the "replacement service". He turned around and left.
