Xia Yu proposed to establish a chamber of commerce, but Yu Zuo didn't report to him, so he thought of a way to draw money from the bottom of the kettle, as long as Xia Yu was executed, no one could get benefits.

Shi Nanyin glanced at Xia Yu fiercely, and reported to Yang Zhao: "Prince, there is a demon Xia Yu who is causing trouble in the city today and killing three hundred beggar disciples. According to the laws of my Great Sui, it should be punished with capital punishment, and I also ask the prince to decide. ”

"Prince, the beggar disciples killed by Xia Yu are all extremely evil people, Qing's father is not dead, and it is difficult to do so. Well killed, well killed. Even if Xia Yu doesn't do it, I will present it and ask the prince to exterminate it! ”

The two of them each held their own words, and Yang Zhao looked at Xia Yu: "Mr. Xia, what do you say about this matter?" ”

"Back to the prince, the beggar gang is full of crimes in the city, and I have a clear conscience. This is sabotage, admittedly not wrong, but at the same time as sabotage, I also proposed the creation of a chamber of commerce, which would be managed by the businessmen themselves. Once it is broken and established, it will surely establish the order of the city. ”

Xia Yu said it in an orderly manner.

Shi Nan said stiffly: "Murder should be punished, even if it is out of good intentions." The minister asked the prince to put Xia Yu to death in order to set the record straight. Besides, they keep saying that the beggars are doing a lot of evil, but is there any evidence? ”

Yang Zhao was also very embarrassed for a while, he had the heart to help Xia Yu, but what Shi Nan said was not wrong, besides, a person like him who sat high all day long would never go to the city to check it out in person.

"Prince, the little slave has the courage to say a word, and please ask the prince for permission!"

A boy beside Yang Zhao knelt down on one knee, but his voice belonged to that of an adult.

"Xiaoyan, you can say something."

"Prince, do you really think that the little slave's figure has never grown tall? It's all the work of the beggars! Xiao Yan's voice sounded extremely excited, and he said a word, hiding his tears with his sleeves.

"Oh, Xiaoyan, don't get excited, speak slowly."

Xiao Yan shed tears and told his story intermittently, that when they reached the age of five, they would be put into a bucket and stereotyped to grow.

Those with rough skin will be dragged out by the beggars, beaten all over their bodies, and then wrapped in the special gauze made by the beggars, and after a while, they can grow fine white skin. The whole process is a cruel abuse without humanity.

Xiao Yan has experienced it personally, but he has a good life and can enter the palace, and most of those who are with him are the playthings of the rich, and when they are older, they will be ruthlessly abandoned like monsters.

Hearing this, Yang Zhao glared at Shi Nan angrily, and his voice became extremely terrifying: "Shi Nan, I really can't find anything wrong with Xia Yu's move, such an evil gang, what are you doing in Daxing City, is it to let them continue to be evil?" ”

Shi Nan was so frightened that he fell to his knees and kowtowed repeatedly.

"Spread my will, the beggars are in great trouble, and they need to be completely eradicated, leaving no trouble. Jing Zhao Yin Yuzuo was ineffective in supervision and was demoted to a civilian. ”

Immediately, a herald ordered the eunuch to leave the palace to convey Yang Zhao's will.

Xia Yu thanked Yang Zhao: "Thank you, prince." ”

At the end, Yang Zhao said: "As for the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce proposed by Mr. Xia, I also ask the cabinet minister to supervise it together with Mr. Xia." ”

Zhang Ruoxu said: "The old minister takes the order. ”

The two went out of the Jiying Hall together.

"Cousin, as long as you do what I say, set up a chamber of commerce to manage the city in Daxing City, and a lot of money will be the two of us in the future."

After Shi Nan left, Yu Zuo thought of a brilliant idea, anyway, the beggar gang couldn't support it, Xia Yu's suggestion made him very excited, instead of helping Su Lang establish a chamber of commerce, it was better for him to find his own people.

It just so happened that Yu Nan's cousin Liu Chao was also a giant businessman in the city, and after listening to Yu Zuo's strategy, he patted his legs and praised it. The two immediately reached an agreement, and the profits were split between fifty and fifty.

Yu Zuo found Cheng Ping, and asked him to search for the beggar gang disciples in Daxing City, no matter how good Cheng Ping's relationship with He Zhiqiu was, he would not disobey Yu Zuo's will because of him.

At noon, the disciples of the Pure Clothes Gang were asking for money in the city, and suddenly a group of officials came, and when they saw them, they didn't ask for the reason, and they went up to kill them.

"All the merchants in the city have heard clearly, and Lord Yu has specially ordered us to eliminate the children of the beggars who have done a lot of evil to ensure the normal operation of the city."

"God opened his eyes, Lord Yu finally did a good thing. The end of the beggars has come. ”

When He Zhiqiu heard the news, he hid and didn't know where he went.

At the same time, Su Lang and several other important merchants in the city all received invitations from Liu Chao, inviting them to Jingzhaoyin as guests for discussion.

Hurriedly handing over the affairs of the Su family to the housekeeper, Su Lang got into the carriage and headed towards Jing Zhaoyin.

After getting out of the car, seeing that all the people who came were acquaintances, everyone simply said a few words to each other and walked towards Jingzhao Yin's mansion.

In the hall, Liu Chao sat on the main seat, with a domineering appearance.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I think you have also seen Lord Yu vigorously rectify the security of the city, and his heart of caring for our merchants is really sincere. After the demise of the beggars, we still face a big problem. There is a suggestion that we set up a chamber of commerce to form a set of effective self-management methods. What do you don't know? ”

The merchants nodded again and again, if Liu Chao hadn't been covered by Yu Zuo, his business in the city would not have been able to continue.

Take him running a restaurant as an example, not to mention the high price of the restaurant's food, it is also very unpalatable.

Now he says that the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce is known to passers-by.

Sure enough, with everyone's approval, Liu Chao immediately said: "Since the establishment of the Chamber of Commerce, we must always elect a president." Contemptible people are not talented, and they are willing to lead everyone and contribute to the Chamber of Commerce. ”

Someone immediately said: "As it should be, only a big merchant like you can become our leader." I agree! ”

"Except for Liu Chao, I don't think I can afford such a position."

Those who said such things seemed insincere, if it weren't for the backers of the Liu Dynasty, they couldn't afford to offend, and they would have disagreed a long time ago.

"I don't agree, what kind of person Liu Chao is, isn't it clear in everyone's hearts? At that time, in order to fight for Xiyue Tower, he tried all kinds of coercion and temptation methods, forcing the Fan family to commit suicide by jumping into the river. ”

"As the president of the Chamber of Commerce, the most important thing is virtue. Without virtue, how can we do it? The beggars are gone, and we can't find someone to weigh on our heads! ”

"The most qualified to be the president, I think it is Su Lang, his character is obvious to everyone."

I don't know who mentioned Su Lang, everyone thinks about it carefully, Su Lang is usually low-key, but he has really done a lot of good things.

The noisy people in the hall were divided into two factions, and no one could convince anyone for a while.

Liu Chao slammed the table, and the door closed from the inside with a thud.

There was a sound of neat footsteps, and dozens of officials with knives and guns surrounded the hall.

Liu Chao's face turned pale, and he looked around contemptuously: "Give you face, I want you to come over to discuss." Today, I will leave my words here, and if you don't recognize me as the president, none of you will want to leave. ”
