At the beginning of the unitary period, the sky was getting dark, and Xiang Yu Zheng appeared in front of Yuchun Tower on time, and in addition to his son Xiang Chao, there were also a few strong guys.

He said that he was not worried at all, but Xiang Yuzheng was still a little afraid in his heart, so in order to support himself, he still chose a few people among the guys to be guards.

Most places in the city are depressed, and even the warehouses and shops are closed a lot, but in front of the Yuchun Tower, there are still people coming and going, and it is very lively, as if it is not the same sky as the outside world.

"Yo, this master, look at the face, it's the first time you've come to our Yuchun Building, right?"

Stepping into the gate of Yuchun Building, an old bustard dressed up and a came out and greeted Xiang Yuzheng enthusiastically.

"I don't know if you're here to meet guests, or to drink flower wine? Do you want to introduce you to a few wonderful girls? ”

"No, I'm going to the banquet, may I ask which room is the one outside Shen Wanliang?"

Xiang Yuzheng is no stranger to these game places, and politely rejected the bustard's kindness, and asked at the same time.

"Oh, it turned out to be Master Shen's distinguished guest, hurry up and please!"

As soon as he heard that it was a guest invited by the owner of the Shen family's grain shop in the city, the old bustard not only did not despise the other party because of this, but greeted him more enthusiastically, and personally took Xiang Yu Zheng inside.

"I don't know what a good day it is today, Master Shen has invited so many distinguished guests, but it really makes my Yuchun Building shine!"

While leading the way, the old bustard didn't forget to chat with each other, as if he was afraid that Xiang Yuzheng would be bored.

“……”

Xiang Yuzheng's heart moved, it turned out that Shen Wanliang not only invited himself alone, but also other guests to participate, the more so, the safer he was, and some nervous mood gradually relaxed.

The old bustard took Xiang Yuzheng through the lively front hall and came to the lonely guest house that seemed to be a little quiet in the back, and when Xiang Yuzheng walked into the door of the guest house with the sound of ding dong ding dong pipa sound, the lively scene imprinted in his eyes made him stunned for a moment, and then quickly recovered.

The reason for the stunned is not the rippling spring that outsiders think, but the various strange male faces that occupy most of the room in the room.

The male faces that appear in this kind of brothel, except for the turtle master who greets customers in the brothel itself, are only the guests who come to have a good time.

And the guests who can be caught by the old bustard in this quiet guest house must also have something to do with Shen Wanliang who invited Xiang Yuzheng to come for a while, I am afraid that most of them are his guests.

In the spacious lobby of the house, above the chairman, a middle-aged man dressed in gorgeous clothes, one on the left and one on the right, two beautiful girls added a cup of tea to him, should be the host of the family Shen Wanliang who invited him to talk about it this time.

Hurriedly swept the surrounding environment, Xiang Yuzheng quickly locked on to the protagonist who invited him to come, and without waiting for himself to say hello, the owner on the opposite side took the initiative to get up and walked towards him.

"Take the liberty of letting the shopkeeper come to the banquet, and look at Haihan!"

The host, Shen Wanliang, bent down lightly, and introduced himself to Xiang Yuzheng with a kind and friendly smile: "In Xia Shen Wanliang, the proprietor of Shen's grain shop, there are some thin noodles in Suzhou City. ”

"It's flattered!"

Xiang Yuzheng stood up and saluted in return, and replied with respect, while the look of surprise in his eyes flashed.

I didn't expect these guests in front of me to be grain merchants like myself, looking at the scale of this quantity, I am afraid that Shen Wanliang invited all the grain merchants in Suzhou City, but the intention is worth pondering.

Because it was an outsider, Shen Wanliang, as the host, enthusiastically took Xiang Yuzheng around the guests and introduced each other's origins to each other.

"Fortunately, I will be lucky!"

"I've admired the daimyo for a long time! I have admired the daimyo for a long time! ”

“……”

Walking down in a circle, Xiang Yuzheng smiled so much that his face was a little sour, and his throat was faintly painful, which was the sequelae of talking and talking all the time.

However, Xiang Yuzheng didn't care about this at all, but cherished this opportunity to talk to each other, and at the same time focused on carefully identifying the faces of every guest present, and tried to correspond to the names in his memory.

“…… Thank you for not giving up, this time I came to the banquet, the old man Shen Wanliang was grateful, and I took a drink here to show my gratitude! ”

Seeing that the time was almost up, and the guests he had invited were almost there, Shen Wanliang, as the host, stepped up to the position of guest of honor, opened the conversation box and began to greet him.

After a polite greeting, after the warm-up, Shen Wanliang finally began to slowly say his intention to invite everyone.

“…… All the proprietors here are engaged in the grain business, either in our Suzhou has a lot of industry, or in the surrounding county governments have a great influence, and there are even peers like Xiang Dongzhu who come from afar to make money. ”

“…… The reason why I invited you to the banquet this time is that in fact, the old man has no other malicious intentions, but I just hope to take advantage of the opportunity of the changing situation to discuss with everyone and take the opportunity to earn more money. ”

It is in the nature of businessmen to seek profits, and although many merchant families encourage their children to study, the essence of their inner pursuit of profit will not change.

Xiang Yuzheng and the guests who were invited by Shen Wanliang may have cooperated with him early and knew his true intentions, but more people were still in the dark like Xiang Yuzheng, but now with the information revealed by Shen Wanliang from his words, Xiang Yuzheng and the others also seemed to be aware of something.

“…… This is a rare business opportunity, we now have the opportunity to make money, others think we are mercenary, but how do they know, behind our mercenary, what kind of risk is we carrying! ”

“…… The adults of the imperial court said that if they want to levy our grain, they will levy our grain, and the reputation is that the front line is tight and the treasury is tight, but after the levy, the money we pay is not even enough for us to buy grain! ”

“…… We can't fight those adults in the imperial court, but we also have to support our families and support such a large group of guys around us, we can't let them drink the northwest wind with us, right? ”

“…… Therefore, today I take the lead and take this opportunity to gather everyone here, just to negotiate with you and raise the price of this grain again! ”

Sure enough, as Xiang Yu Zheng and them expected, what Shen Wanliang finally said in the end really had a lot to do with their grain merchants, which was the real reason why Shen Wanliang invited them to come.
