When the master of Chu was giving a speech on the high platform, Zhong Xuanlan walked into the box, and Wang Xuannian, Yang'er and He Li sat by the window and watched the speech on the high platform.

The three of them were very happy to see Zhong Xuanlan enter the door, and Wang Xuannian said, "Don't you need to greet everyone below today?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan stepped forward, sat on the chair next to Wang Xuannian, pinched Yang'er's face, and said, "This election is not just an election. ”

As he spoke, Zhong Xuanlan picked up the teacup and poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, looked at Yang'er and asked, "Yang'er is going to find your grandmother?" ”

Yang'er blinked her pure eyes, looked at Zhong Xuanlan innocently, and said, "Grandmother said that you can't leave your sister or brother today, otherwise, someone will come to snatch Yang'er." ”

Then, Wang Xuannian explained: "Just now, the king has been here. ”

Zhong Xuanlan nodded and said, "Okay then!" You will obediently play here with your brother today. ”

Yang'er smiled and said, "Then can I play with Brother Oak?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan nodded and said, "Yes, but you are not allowed to leave the box." After a while, I'll ask Spring Solstice to prepare gadgets for you. ”

"Good!" Yang'er slid down from Wang Xuannian's arms and walked to the opposite side, pulling He Li to the side to play.

Zhong Xuanlan glanced at Chunzhi and motioned for her to go to the street to buy some fun and come back.

Wang Xuannian was curious and asked, "Lan'er, who will you choose?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan glanced at the master of Chu on the stage, he was very excited at this time, and many people echoed him, making the scene very lively, hooking the corners of his lips and smiling, and said, "Let's see who can enter the last game!" ”

Wang Xuannian asked: "Isn't it unfair to let businessmen vote in the first session?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan smiled and said, "Unfair? No, the Chamber of Commerce needs connections. ”

Wang Xuannian thought for a while, and said: "Businessmen generally don't offend big merchants, and they usually sell a good one at this time.

If Lan'er didn't want to choose from a small or medium merchant from the beginning, that would be reasonable. ”

Zhong Xuanlan said: "The president of the Chamber of Commerce can't appear in other states, it can only be Fengzhou, and it's the best in Kyoto City!" It doesn't take long for him to take charge of the Chamber of Commerce, and there will be no dissatisfaction with being overshadowed by the stewards or dealing with merchant problems. ”

Wang Xuannian frowned slightly, wouldn't it be better if this election was directly elected from Kyoto City? Why do you have to work hard and invest huge manpower, material and financial resources?

Zhong Xuanlan said: "It's for everyone to see." Although the Chamber of Commerce is under the control of the president, we must not forget that the whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's city. ”

According to Zhong Xuanlan's prompt, Wang Xuannian's heart is complicated at this moment.

He always knew that Zhong Xuanlan wanted the Chamber of Commerce to be independent of the imperial power and seek benefits for the merchants, not a pawn under the power, relying on the power, becoming a victim of the power, and making the merchants return to their previous inferior position.

Wang Xuannian thought of Zhong Xuanlan's announcement of his withdrawal from the election of the president of the Chamber of Commerce today, his eyes were worried, and he asked, "Lan'er, you put that one today, will there be trouble?" ”

Zhong Xuanlan said affirmatively: "No." "As long as he thinks he can control me.

Wang Xuannian believed Zhong Xuanlan's words, so he didn't ask any more.

Applause erupted outside, and the next candidate took the stage.

Zhong Xuanlan saw the tall master talking about the Gao family's family history, the scale of the Gao family's firm, etc., and smiled at the corner of his lips, hoping that you can get your wish!

Wang Xuannian muttered to himself: "Isn't this head of the Gao family afraid that others will worry about his family?" ”

"Maybe that's what he wants."

Wang Xuannian shook his head slightly, and said helplessly: "Lan'er, I really don't understand your calculations. ”

Zhong Xuanlan said: "If you see more, you will naturally understand." ”

On the other side, in a private room on the third floor.

Liu Yuan suppressed dissatisfaction in his heart, and looked at the eldest son of the Sun family and the person in disguise opposite.

He really wanted to send people away, and hinted several times that there was Emperor Jingxi's surveillance, but these two people just refused to leave as if they didn't understand, which made him angry, but he couldn't express it, so he had to keep it in his heart, which made him very uncomfortable.

Sun Dagongzi said: "This Gao family is really open to the position of president. ”

Liu Yuan squinted his eyes and looked at the people on the high platform, can he go out? Not necessarily!

has been in business for many years, an old fox, he is not such a stupid person, but what is he calculating, it seems that people have to check the recent movements of the Gao family.

However, then Sun Dagongzi solved the mystery for him.

Sun Dagongzi said: "This Gao family plans to let the county lord Gao enter the palace, and let Concubine Gao win over the princess, these two families are going to be tied together." ”

Liu Yuan listened, pondering who the Gao family was trying to win over the Wang family. Raise your eyes and look at the person opposite, is that him?

I'm afraid this won't work, how could Wang Da's family agree to be contaminated with power, otherwise, he would not have moved to Ganzhou more than ten years ago.

Liu Yuan glanced at the eldest prince Sun, and then at the person in disguise opposite him, it seems that this person wants the Gao family and the Wang family, and his appetite is too great.

Although Wang Da is not as good as Zhong Xuanlan, he is not easy to mess with, otherwise how could he be in charge of the Wang family business house of her husband's family for so many years?

After thinking about it, Liu Yuan reminded: "Prince, the king will not be co-opted. ”

The prince in disguise thought that Liu Yuan refused to help, and he was displeased, and said on his face: "If you don't try, how will you know that this matter will not work?" ”

Liu Yuan knew that the crown prince only wanted him to try, but he wouldn't do it, if the people who were watching Emperor Jingxi noticed it, then the Liu family would fall into a hot spot.

The last time Emperor Jingxi's warning was like yesterday, and when this person was punished by the Liu family, he didn't want to help, he only enjoyed the benefits, but he didn't want to help, the Liu family is not so easy to bully!

Liu Yuan thought about it and politely refused: "The king's house is next door, if the prince wants to see her, the minister will arrange it for you." ”

The prince stared at Liu Yuan sharply, and after a while, he said, "No need." ”

Liu Yuan sensed the danger from the prince's gaze just now, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he drank tea and stopped talking.

At this time, the tall boss has long since stepped down, and now it is the merchants of Youzhou who have come to power, but the scene has become quiet, and it is no longer a lively scene with high enthusiasm.

The prince glanced outside, then looked at Liu Yuan, and asked, "Why did you withdraw from the election of the president of the Chamber of Commerce?" ”

Liu Yuandao: "Because the Liu family is not on the list in his mind, even if he becomes the president, he will not get any support, but will cause trouble." ”

The prince looked at Liu Yuan, and was not satisfied with such an answer in his heart, this person has not been very obedient recently, but he still needs this person at this time, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "In this case, you should not give up the position of steward, right?" ”

After Liu Yuan lowered his eyes to hide his emotions, he said, "No." "Then I have to want to run for election, it seems that I have to find a way to keep this person in the East Palace.
