"Lao Sun, why don't you talk about credit and sell at a lower price without talking to everyone?"

"We said at the beginning, we will advance and retreat together, and this price will be discussed by everyone."

An elegant-looking middle-aged man said to a pot-bellied middle-aged man in a very atmospheric manner.

"Lao He, I don't like to hear what you say, what do you mean that I don't talk about credit?"

"Whoever sells the price first, don't you have a little number in your hearts?"

The person who is called Lao Sun is called Sun Wentang, the Sun family is a big salt merchant and a big grain merchant family in the south of the Yangtze River, and Sun Wentang is also the person in charge of the Sun family in the capital.

The person known as Lao He is called He Jingnian, who is a well-known member of the He family among the Hui merchants, and the main industries of the He family are also salt and grain, the industry is huge, and the family power is extremely strong.

"Anyway, our He family definitely didn't sell it at a lower price first."

When He Jingnian heard this, he was speechless, and after thinking about it, he could only say so.

"I said a long time ago, we can't do things too much, this time we have raised the price too high, two hundred wen a pound of grain, there has never been one pound of food, this famine is not too serious, and we are deliberately targeting the above, even if we can win, there is absolutely no good end, no emperor will tolerate such a thing."

At this time, another person also spoke, this person was dignified and extraordinary, he only looked like he was in his thirties, but he was actually in his forties.

His name is Jiang Yunshan, and he is a member of the Jiang family, a big family from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the Jiang family is mainly involved in tea, grain and salt, and is one of the most famous wealthy families in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

"It's really a bit too much, but it's also for the benefit of our entire Jiangnan people."

Sun Wentang nodded and said.

"For the benefit of our entire Jiangnan people?"

"Our He family has invested more than two million dollars in silver this time, and now all of them are going to be wasted."

He Jingnian said with a sneer.

Although the He family is a well-known family among the Hui merchants, but the two million taels of silver thrown out, it still has to hurt the vitality of the entire He family, after all, although the wealth of the He family is huge, most of the property exists in the form of fields, shops, etc., and the silver in the real hands is not too much.

"It's as if our Sun family didn't lose anything, and the money our Sun family invested in it won't be less than you."

Sun Wentang looked at He Jingnian and said.

"Okay, stop arguing."

At this time, Hu Wanan, who had been silent, finally spoke.

Speaking of losses, the loss of his Hu family is actually the heaviest, as the leader of the Hui merchants and the leader of this operation, the Hu family really smashed real money into it this time, and the silver invested in it was at least three million taels.

With such a huge loss, it will take a long time for the entire Hu family to recover, so that his current status Hu Wanan is also unstable, and his family also has a lot of complaints about him, which is extremely unfavorable for him to inherit the position of the head of the Hu family.

Hearing Hu Wanan's words, the others immediately quieted down, wanting to hear what good methods and attention Hu Wanan could come up with.

"It's too late to say all this now, it's time to think about how to make up for it, this silver is gone, you can make it again, but if this little life is gone, there will be nothing."

Hu Wanan looked at everyone and said coldly.

"Master Hu, what do you mean by that?"

He Jingnian immediately hurriedly asked.

"Didn't the people in the court on your family's side communicate with you?"

"The above side has been in Chadzhou Warehouse and Linqing Warehouse, is it too calm this time?"

Hu Wanan said coldly.

Almost all of these people present are from the wealthy families in the Jiangnan area, and they are all related to salt, grain, and tea, and these wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River are inextricably linked with the Shilin in the south of the Yangtze River.

Some of them are officials of their own families, some are through marriage, some are through fellow villagers, and many are bought with silver, in short, through various ways, almost all the officials from the Jiangnan area are the spokesmen of these wealthy families in Jiangnan.

And because these wealthy families in the Jiangnan region are rich all over the world, almost all of the most profitable transactions such as salt, grain, and tea are in their hands, so they have the greatest wealth in the entire Ming Dynasty, and it is easy to do things if they have money.

In addition, the Jiangnan region has been a place of scholars since ancient times, since ancient times, there are many talented people in Jiangnan, and the literary style is prosperous, and in the Song and Ming dynasties, the Jiangnan area is full of literati and talented children.

These many factors combined, slowly formed the Jiangnan Shilin control of the Ming Dynasty situation, now in the Hongzhi period, this situation is already very serious, in the late Ming Dynasty, the Donglin Party completely controlled the entire government, everything is these Jiangnan people have the final say.

Because they are all from a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, each family has its own people in the court, and they are all aware of the movements of the court.

"Isn't this already arranged?"

"Just find a few substitutes for the dead."

Sun Wentang hurriedly said.

"Hehe, how can it be so easy, the above seems to have changed this time, secretly Jinyiwei has been secretly investigating this matter, it is not so easy to fool the above from before, everyone should prepare in advance, clean up everything that should be cleaned up, don't eat the mutton at that time, but make a commotion."

Hu Wanan smiled and said undeniably.

"I've already been informed, and all the grain on my side has been sold for a penny and a catty."

Then Hu Wanan dropped another bombshell, which directly made all the people present dumbfounded.

"A penny a pound?"

"Master Hu, are you not sick?"

Sun Wentang was slightly stunned, then looked at Hu Wanan and said.

"If this is sold for a penny and a catty, we will really lose blood this time, our He family is no better than your Hu family, the family is big, and we don't care about these millions of taels of silver."

He Jingnian couldn't help but sarcastically.

"Follow me or not, it's up to you, I'll be able to talk to you."

"I said, it's already this time, whether you want your life or money, it depends on your choice."

"Now we sell grain for a penny and a pound, which can be regarded as relief for the victims, and when the time comes, the DPRK and China will let people talk, even if this time the matter is in the past, if we still have to care about the silver that can no longer be recovered."

After saying this, Hu Wanan got up and left, and did not continue, some things, in fact, everyone will understand by clicking on them.
