Shen Wanliang is also a person, according to folk legends, his ancestor is the legendary Shen Wansan, although I don't know how to run to Suzhou Mansion to become a rich man, but from it can also see the strength behind Shen Wanliang.

The only reason why Shen Wanliang invited all the grain merchants in Suzhou City to the banquet was that they had full confidence, because their Shen industry covered all industries, just like the Qian Zhuang that forced the collapse of Liu's weaving factory before, it was also their Shen's.

This one Shen's grain shop alone almost accounts for almost 30% of the sales volume of the entire Suzhou Prefecture, and the remaining 70% is the share of more than a dozen grain stores here.

Except for their Shen Clan's grain shop, in this grain merchant, there is really no merchant who can have the qualifications to do this kind of thing that needs to be led, which needs to have enough prestige in this industry.

“…… Isn't this a bit unauthentic? ”

“…… I think it's long overdue! ”

The merchants below had their own thoughts, and they all discussed softly with the people they knew.

Under the influence of Confucian culture, Chinese merchants still have some benevolent and righteous spirits, but how many there are depends on the wisdom of others.

Looking at the whispering crowd around him, there was a slight unpleasant sound in his ears, but Shen Wanliang didn't care at all.

Before he chose today's guests, he had already excluded those whom he thought would not agree to his proposal, lest these fellows disrupt the feast for the day.

As for outsiders like Xiang Yuzheng, inviting them is just to better control the situation, if his plan today succeeds, what these guys can do in the end is just to follow the trend.

"Ahem!"

coughed softly a few times, and everyone's eyes were pulled back by Shen Wanliang again.

"If you think that what I did today is inappropriate and you don't want to make this money, you can say it, and I won't force anyone."

"But before you step out of this door, you have to think clearly, because there is no turning back arrow from this bow, and if you want to come back, it depends on whether we are willing or not!"

"The money we make is all justified, and it is not snatched from the hands of the people, nor is it shamelessly collected from the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes after a few years like the government, adding too much burden to the people."

"What's wrong with us just raising prices reasonably on top of the current food prices and earning back the costs we have lost?"

seems to be a high-sounding speech, but in fact, who doesn't know that in addition to the well-off people in Suzhou Fuzhong, which one is about to be unable to open the pot, and now the price of food is rising

Xiang Yuzheng looked at the riot at the dock under the ship, and continued stubbornly: "Our grain can only be sold at a price in this place, is it because of this risk that we can't go home?" ”

Although Anhui is not a place rich in grain, under the attraction of interests, Xiang Yuzheng, who is well-informed adjacent to Jiangsu, bought such a boatload of grain in his hometown and prepared to sell it to the people in Suzhou at a high price.

At the very least, Suzhou is notoriously wealthy, and although the situation is now depressed, the people at the bottom should still have some savings, and the risk is lower than in other places.

But now after arriving in Suzhou Mansion, Xiang Yuzheng found that the situation did not seem to be as he thought

It's so easy, just now that the workers on the docks are crowded with scalps looking for work, people can afford goosebumps, and it is even harder for Xiang Yuzheng to imagine what the city will be like.

However, if he gave up the food on his ship now, which he had collected after almost all his savings, because of the immediate risk, wouldn't it mean that he would be bankrupt because of it?

As for the transfer to other places, Xiang Yuzheng didn't dare to imagine it, even Suzhou Mansion, which is known as the land of heaven, is already like this, and those places that are not as good as Suzhou Mansion don't know what it will look like.

"Send someone down to find the snake thief, and ask him to pick a dozen strong and honest-looking familiar faces to help us unload the goods!"

Anyway, seeing the scene of the crowd surging under the boat, Xiang Yuzheng was not ready to come forward for the time being, but asked the guy to go down to the dock to find a reliable leader of the rivers and lakes who was familiar with the local environment and helped him do these things.

In the past, there was no need for such trouble, but it was worth the trouble and less risk in special periods.

The guy soon found a reliable snake head at the dock, brought it up to meet with Xiang Yuzheng, and with his help, he selected a dozen right-hand men to start unloading.

At this time, the crowd of people crowded together in the dock area did not disperse because the dust of coolie candidates settled, and they still gathered around the dock area, watching the coolies who were gradually getting busy.

Fortunately, some time ago, Japan and South Korea reported to the prefect of Suzhou that Suzhou City was now in danger, but in some important areas, they sent additional arresters and yacha to forcefully suppress the misdeeds in the city.

That's it, when unloading the goods, Xiang Yuzheng and the guys he recruited didn't dare to take it lightly at all, and they didn't relax until all the grain was transported to the granary he had already set.

In the meantime, taking advantage of the opportunity to unload the goods, Xiang Yuzheng quietly slipped off the boat with a few guys, and after walking around Suzhou City, looking at Xiao Se to Suzhou City, he had a little joy: the more depressed the scene, the more happy it was for speculators like them, which also meant that they could earn more profits.

"Boss, someone just sent a sticker, because you didn't send the small one to your old house."

As soon as he returned to the inn where he was staying, Xiang Chao, a confidant and cronie brought by Yu Zheng from home, whispered in his ear.

"What post?"

Xiang Yuzheng looked up and asked.

"He said that he was the proprietor of the Shen family's grain shop in the city, please ask the proprietor to take a while in Yuchun Tower in the evening."

Tell the truth.

"Oh, got it."

Xiang Yuzheng nodded, indicating that he already understood.

Back in the room of the inn, an invitation written on red paper was placed on the table of the Eight Immortals who entered the door.

Picking up the invitation, Xiang Yuzheng roughly scanned the content of the invitation, roughly asking him to go to Yuchun Tower to talk to Shen Wanliang, the owner of Shen's grain shop, around midnight and around midnight.

What made Xiang Yuzheng curious, how could the people from the Shen Clan's grain shop know their news in the short time they had just arrived in Suzhou Mansion, and they came to the door so quickly.

Peers are the truth of enemies, Xiang Yuzheng actually understands that those things in the shopping mall can't be done, and they basically go to the rivers and lakes.
