Chapter 47: The Tea Politics Landing
Sun Bo's two sons are not talented, and his daughter is very talented in business, it can be said that the Sun family can expand to be on par with the other three families, all because his daughter helps him plan.
Therefore, he had already decided to let his daughter inherit the family business in his heart, thinking that it was time to let his daughter know these secrets, and said slowly:
"Although Xu Lushi has no quality, he is deeply rooted in the county government, and there is also a Si Hu who joins the army as a backer in the Assassin Mansion, and that is an official of the eighth grade! But Xu Lushi was still imprisoned, and I heard your Uncle Xu say that the guard who joined the army was also demoted! ”
"It seems that the Chen family also has someone in the Assassin's Mansion, but I don't know who it is and what the official position is." Only then did Sun Shaoqing know that there was this kind of game behind it.
Sun Bo said lightly: "Do you remember the lady of the Chen family who lived in a simple place? ”
Sun Shaoqing's heart sank, and he secretly thought about it, thinking that it was no wonder that the Cao family was so powerful, but they were still so afraid of the Chen family.
Although she was angry at these collusions between officials and businessmen, she was able to suppress her temper and said calmly: "But isn't Uncle Xu's family okay now?" It can be seen that Lord Lu is not afraid of the one behind the Chen family. ”
She is a daughter, but she can be in charge of many properties of the Sun family, so that Sun Bo trusts her so much, because she is good at controlling emotions, and her debates are also reasonable and well-founded, and she is never unreasonable.
"This is just your speculation, now our family is walking on thin ice, I must not risk the entire family, we can only choose to protect ourselves now, neither offend the Sun family, nor disobey the county order, wait and see what happens, the way to survive." Sun Bo's voice was unusually low, and after speaking, he turned around and walked towards the inner room.
Sun Shaoqing had a different opinion, shook his head and said, "If we follow the Chen family to close the shop, then we will choose to stand on the opposite side of the county commander." ”
Sun Bo waved his hand and said, "Isn't there a Chen family on top?" I have made up my mind, and you don't need to persuade me anymore. ”
Sun Shaoqing bit his lip, thinking that he must go to the county government and Lu Gongzi to make it clear later, lest he still think that he had crossed the river and demolished the bridge.
Suddenly, the housekeeper Yang Zhong rushed into the lobby and said urgently: "Master, it's not good, the yamen is here!" ”
Sun Bo thought that the yamen had sent someone to ask him to discuss the closure of the shop, and said lightly: "Let's just say that I am sick and it is inconvenient to see customers." ”
Yang Zhong said in a low voice: "Zhan Zhutou is here in person, I'm afraid it won't work if I don't go." ”
Sun Bo turned around violently and said angrily: "I didn't break the law, why did he send someone to get me!" ”
"Second uncle, don't be afraid, I'll go to the Chen family for help." Huo Cheng snorted coldly.
Sun Shaoqing didn't believe that Lu Yuan would take people for no reason, so he frowned and asked, "Steward Yang, what's going on?" ”
Yang Zhong took a few steps closer and said in a low voice:
"It seems that a group of people have sued our four major chambers of commerce, saying that the price of tea is too low, not only our Sun family, but also the other three masters are already waiting outside the door.
Sun Bo was surprised: "Is Chen Guang also outside?" ”
Steward Yang nodded, Sun Bo felt sweat oozing out of his palms, looked at Sun Shaoqing and said, "Daughter, you are familiar with the county magistrate, come with me!" ”
Sun Shaoqing sighed: "I knew about this tea thing, and sooner or later there would be a problem." ”
……
Outside the county office, Lu Yuan was chatting with the people, he knew that officials were the most prone to corruption, and he might not be able to guarantee that he would be able to stick to his heart in the future.
However, looking at history, all officials who go deep into the people are rarely corrupted, and the kind of people who stay away from the people after their official positions become bigger are the easiest to change their original intentions, and they are often not aware of it.
At this time, the crowd suddenly separated, but it was Zhan Yuan who came with the heads of the Chen, Lin, Cao, and Sun families, followed by more than a dozen people, including servants and family members.
Lu Yuan also saw Sun Shaoqing's figure in the crowd and nodded to her.
Before he could speak, a person walked forward quickly, pointed at Zhan Yuan and said angrily:
"Lord Lu, it's just that you invite us over, why did you send this hairy boy here, he not only made insulting remarks, but also didn't allow us to take the car, what is the reason?"
This person is dressed in a blue brocade robe, in his forties, he looks very angry, and he speaks disrespectfully when he first meets, and he seems to be very promising.
Lu Yuan raised his eyebrows and didn't speak, Han Shiling observed his words, stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Lord Lu, he is a member of Lin Zhaolin." ”
Lin Zhao? Lu Yuan was taken aback, this was too coincidental, and hurriedly asked, "Which one?" ”
Han Shiling gave him a strange look and said, "Rizhao's photo." ”
It turned out to be different words with the same phone, Lu Yuan was about to speak, and Li Xiancheng was already smiling.
"This person is a new head catcher, and he may not know who he is outside the forester, and he has offended the forester, please forgive me."
"Hello Master Li." Lin Zhao arched his hand, then his tone changed, and he sneered:
"What a head catcher, he used to be just a little dart master!" He is the head of the Lin family, and he married Chen Guang's sister, with a flamboyant personality, and he has always been used to rampant in the county.
One of the onlookers sneered: "Lin Zhao, you are just a restaurant owner, what qualifications do you have to look down on others!" ”
Yue Yi suddenly glared at the man, he also opened a restaurant.
Another person said: "Lin Zhao, you bastard, forcibly take down my restaurant, Lao Tzu and the others will sue you to the county magistrate!" ”
Lin Zhao was suddenly furious and shouted, "Who is talking nonsense, give me-"
Chen Guang saw that Lu Yuan's face was getting more and more ugly, and said sharply: "You shut up for me!" ”
Lin Zhao was not afraid of anyone, he was afraid of Chen Guang, his eyes drooped, and he didn't dare to speak anymore.
Chen Guang arched his hand to Lu Yuan, and said in a deep voice: "Lord County Commander, I don't know what to do with me?" ”
"I heard from the people that you have been lowering the price of tea in recent years, is there such a thing?" Lu Yuan looked at him and said.
"It is true, but adults don't know, in recent years, the tea industry has been depressed, and many teas cannot be sold, so they can only be shipped to other places to sell, so the cost has increased, and we have to reduce the price of tea, which is not intentional!"
"Fart, that's because you sold it at too high a price, and many people in this county can't afford it, so you can't sell it, and you can sell it in other counties!" The person who spoke was Wang Yu, an old man with a cane, and Chen Guang's eyes radiated a cold light, and he looked at him coldly.
The old man didn't dare to look at him, and bowed to Lu Yuan:
"Lord County, the market is related to the people's livelihood, and must not be controlled by individual profiteers, our county is a large tea-producing county, but now the people can't even afford to eat tea, what is this! The old man asked the adults to rectify the market so that the common people could afford to eat tea! ”
Lu Yuan nodded secretly, no wonder this old man was elected by so many people, what he came out should be the voice of most people.
"Sir, please rest assured, I will definitely give you an explanation."
At this time, Sun Shaoqing came out of the crowd and said coquettishly:
"Lord Lu, this matter is indeed something we did wrong, my Sun family is against this, but the Chen family insists on going its own way, and we are powerless to stop it!"
"Sun Bo, take care of your daughter!" Lin Zhao said angrily, and said to Lu Yuan: "Lord County Commander, how much money we sell is our freedom, and we haven't broken the law, right?" ”
Lu Yuan said sharply: "You shut up for me, and I will interrogate you for forcibly buying other people's restaurants later!" ”
Lin Zhao shouted: "Lord County Commander, you are communiquing your personal vendetta. ”
"You're wrong, I'm a communiqué and a vendetta." Lu Yuan said coldly.
Lin Zhao hurriedly looked at Li Xiancheng, but saw him looking into the distance, looking like he was out of the world, and looked at Chen Guang again, but saw that his eyes were red, and he was looking at himself, and immediately lowered his head.
A woman suddenly walked out from the rear and snorted: "Lord County Commander, don't go too far, our family is not easy to mess with." But it was Lin Zhao's wife, Chen.
Lu Yuan said lightly: "It's not easy to mess with, tell me about it." ”
Chen Guang only felt a splitting headache, and when he saw that Chen was still going to speak, he scolded angrily: "Shut up! ”
Chen Shi said angrily: "Brother, what are you afraid of him doing, there is Master Li here, and sister-in-law-"
With a "snap", Chen Guang gave her a slap, turned to Lu Yuan and said, "Lord County Commander, we are willing to increase the price to buy tea from now on." ”
"Then you might as well ask the people here if they are willing to believe you! If they believe, it is not impossible. ”
The crowd roared, "Don't believe it! ”
"Don't sell it to him!"
"The four profiteers, get away!"
All the rejections.
"In this case, from today onwards, the county is determined to abolish the tea industry policy of selling tea by village, and let the people decide how to sell tea themselves."
