Chapter 172: In Business
The whole city immediately became a sensation, and the favor and support for the new city lord soared, and many poor people in the slums even worshipped directly in their own homes!
At this time, the requirements of most of the ordinary people in the Great Commercial Dynasty were really simple, and they could already be very satisfied if they were well fed and warmly dressed!
Such a grand event is not an exaggeration to say that Ji Yan is a "Buddha of ten thousand families" in Wushuang City!
There were also hundreds of grain carriages in a huge lineup, more than ten miles away, under the escort of the members of the Trap Legion and the garrison of Wushuang City, they drove out of Wushuang City and transported to the towns and strongholds under their jurisdiction, once again confirming the authenticity and reliability of the previous announcement.
Of course, what the vast majority of ordinary people don't know is that the carriages escorted by the ordinary garrisons in Wushuang City are indeed transported to various strongholds in Wushuang City......
But the carriage guarded by the members of the trapped camp legion was suddenly diverted and transported to the "Maolin Villa!"
You must know that there is not only a little grain on the carriage, but also a lot of gold and silver treasures that are directly obtained from Gao Huan, Li Zhihe and others, and the most important ......
Autumn tax!
In addition, the food and other materials distributed in various places for free in the past were also used as a cover for the members of the trapped camp legions who were busy buying food in various places.
At that time, all the massive grain will be transported to the territory under the jurisdiction of Wushuang City, which can be said to be able to cover people's eyes and ears to the greatest extent!
At this moment, the troubled times are coming, whether it is the national merchant and big commercial houses of the Great Commercial Yun Dynasty or the various commercial houses opened by the remnants of the Ten Immortal Sects, even the most stable Tianji Pavilion will be directly impacted.
At that time, any other credentials except real gold and silver and grain will become unreliable, except for the golden tickets issued by the Tianji Pavilion, which may be somewhat useful, and even the official golden tickets issued by the Great Commercial Fortune Dynasty will directly become waste paper, and they will not be able to cash in any real gold and silver at all.
Therefore, Ji Yan is also hiding in advance when he is prepared.
Of course, for the follow-up development of Wushuang City and the payment of the people under the jurisdiction of Wushuang City, Ji Yan naturally will not have any slackness and deductions.
Wushuang City is unstable, even if Ji Yan hides more at this time, he can't keep it, and it is very likely that he will directly become someone else's...... Matchless City!
In addition to the shopkeeper Sun of Tianji Pavilion, the five major commercial houses and many merchants in the other Wushuang City have more or less handed over "illegal gains", including the state-owned and large commercial houses of the Great Commercial Yun Dynasty.
The Guigu Commercial Bank, which was owned by the remnants of the Taiyi Immortal Gate, was completely copied by the garrison corps in Wushuang City, and all the assets and goods were directly confiscated, which frightened many small merchants for a while.
In addition, on behalf of the official forces of Wushuang City, Ji Yan also placed a large grain list to many chambers of commerce in the name of supporting the whole county, and the five major commercial houses and Tianji Pavilion were all grain lists of more than one million gold......
As for the other sub-level small chambers of commerce, they ranged from 100,000 gold to 1 million gold, and the registered population of Wushuang City at this time was as high as more than 6 million, and the total number of unregistered chambers of commerce was almost nearly 10 million.
The reason for the astronomical amount of food required for three months free of charge is indeed very reasonable......
If the merchants communicate with each other and know all the specific orders, they will know that the grain purchased by the lord of Ji City is really too much, and it is enough to provide for ten years for free in three months!
Of course, in the eyes of the various chambers of commerce at this time, this is the new Ji City Lord who is appeasing and repaying them.
In business, although the price of grain given by various merchants to the city lord of Ji must not dare to open the price indiscriminately, it can already be regarded as a discount to the extreme, but it is still a big business to make money!
The city lord of Ji had just been "placed under house arrest" before, and they took the opportunity to knock on it, which can be regarded as a hard beating, no matter what you say at this time, you have to give some radish!
Otherwise, if there is no larger chamber of commerce in the territory under the jurisdiction of Wushuang City, it will be difficult to carry out many material transportation exchanges!
The above are the thoughts in the hearts of various merchants, that is, other unrelated melon-eating people almost think the same way......
Inside the Di Dao Commercial Bank to which the Li family belonged in Longxi, Shopkeeper Zhao and the deacons respectfully and enthusiastically sent off the city lord's mansion, and when they turned their heads, their faces immediately became completely black and gloomy.
"What does this new city lord mean?"
"Do you really want to deceive me?"
A bearded deacon's beard jumped, and he opened his mouth with some great annoyance.
After a slight pause, he continued to speak: "We have just been forced to hemorrhage and raise 170,000 gold, and we will directly return the 170,000 gold intact, but it is a grain deposit of 1.7 million gold, is this going to continue to open my mouth?"
"This new city lord really can't be bullied by our Longxi Li family?"
Everyone present became a little silent and quiet, which did seem a little weird.
They can still accept the donation of 170,000 gold, if they really bring in 1.7 million gold of food, they will be pitted by the city lord's mansion and will not be able to receive the money, and it will be difficult for them to explain to the general association and the clan.
A half-hundred-year-old man responded directly: "The old man thinks it's not like this!"
"The City Lord's Mansion should really want to buy grain, not like he wants to continue to blackmail and deceive us!"
"It's more like expressing our kindness to the public and private. ”
"Kind?"
"What's kind?"
"After turning around, it has directly become a clear distinction between public and private?"
Deacon Hu continued to speak, mockingly.
"Dealing with Zhihe coercive fundraising, this can be regarded as official business, and placing an order to settle a business is also considered official business......"
"However, the hidden meaning on the back of this order can be said to be a private matter, indicating that the City Lord Ji does not want to really be an enemy of my Longxi Li Clan!"
"Otherwise, Zhi said that he would kill him, and there are many merchants in Wushuang City, why would this list be given to us?"
"Why does it happen to be a deposit of 170,000 gold?"
The half-hundred old man continued to speak very calmly.
"Humph!"
"Looking at this look, I know that this is 170,000 gold, and I plan to continue to ask for 1.7 million gold!"
Deacon Hu continued to snort coldly and said.
The half-hundred old man shook his head and responded: "Everything was under the jurisdiction of the Ji City Lord before, and the others couldn't find any reason, so it was even more difficult to open their mouths to blame!"
"But in business, if the city lord of Ji really dares to destroy the promise and take the goods and not give money, what if he really gives it all to him for nothing this time?"
"It's just a mere one or two million gold coins, and my Longxi Li family can still afford to pay for this money......"
