Chapter 230: Alternative "Sharing the Cake"
The next day, when Zhu Changluo took Wang An and others to the mansion, he was slightly surprised, because there were really not many people coming......
You must know that hundreds of thousands of people in Ping'an Mansion now have to rely on the bazaar outside the city to buy the necessary living materials, and Zhu Changluo requires all the materials to be supplied in sufficient quantities, which means that there must be a huge merchant group to meet the requirements.

In the Ming Dynasty, only Hui merchants had such strength, and they could mobilize a large number of merchants to gather in Ping'an Mansion at the fastest speed through the Hui Chamber of Commerce in various places.
Of course, this is inseparable from Zhang Sugong's long-sleeved dancing, for the sake of these businessmen, Zhu Changluo also specially ordered Li Wenhua to remove all the unnecessary things in the county yahoutang to accommodate these businessmen.
But when he arrived at the scene, he found that although there were a lot of people sitting in the venue, there was still a certain gap between the seats and the seats he imagined......
"Your Highness, there was an emergency this morning, and some uncles came to say goodbye to the late student, saying that there was something at home and they were unable to continue to support here, and I asked Your Highness for forgiveness!"
Zhang Sugong greeted him and said with a rather sorry face.
To be honest, he didn't believe in this reason, and Zhang Sugong didn't expect the departure of these families, obviously they promised last night that they would support it for a while, but something like this happened this morning......
"Oh? Which ones are they? ā
Zhu Changluo was still not in a hurry, and asked.
"Don't worry, this king doesn't mean anything else, he just wants to know which people are so unwise, this thing of a hundred miles is not like the style of your Hui merchants!"
It seems that this one is not in a hurry at all, but also has the heart to make fun of himself.
Zhang Sugong shook his head, but he was not as optimistic as Zhu Changluo, and said.
"Most of the people who left this time are cloth merchants, and some grain merchants, Your Highness, as soon as they leave, the materials we have on hand are immediately stretched, if we can't find a new source of goods, I'm afraid that there will be a shortage of goods in the market tomorrow, and ......"
After a pause, Zhang Sugong made sure that Zhu Changluo did not show displeasure because of this, and then continued.
"And Your Highness, with all due respect, businessmen have always been reluctant to trade at a loss, and since they came here, in addition to looking at their father's face, they have hoped to be able to settle in Ping'an Mansion, but His Highness has not expressed his ...... for so many days."
"Su Gong, you don't have to worry, this king has already planned this matter, and today is to solve this matter, and the rest of the things will be handed over to this king, you have worked hard these days!"
Zhu Changluo smiled slightly, but patted Zhang Sugong's shoulder and said.
In fact, although he didn't say that he had been clear about this situation for a long time, he also expected it, but he didn't expect that there would be so many people leaving, and although he hadn't said anything about the situation in the city in the past few days, he had been paying attention to it.
He even invited his cheap uncle Wang Daoheng, who used his power for personal gain to bring a few teams of Jinyi guards' embankment horses, so that they could mingle among the people and find out the news!
According to the information he received, up to now, there were quite a few remnants of the Sun, Liu and Wu families in the city who were quite restless, and after spreading rumors among the people to no avail, they turned their minds to the Hui merchants.
I have to say that there are still smart people among them, and now the economy in the city is all maintained by the Hui merchants outside the city, if they withdraw, the economy in the city will collapse immediately, and then cause a civil uprising!
But Zhu Changluo has always turned a blind eye to this situation and ignored it, which made Sun Rong, who was in charge of finding out the news, very puzzled, especially when he reported to His Royal Highness yesterday that the gentry in the city were plotting to buy some merchants with silver money and let them withdraw from the city, the smile of pity on the corner of His Royal Highness's mouth made the second monk even more puzzled.
But it doesn't matter, Zhu Changluo has already stepped onto the main seat of the county government at this moment.
When a group of merchants below saw him coming, they quickly stopped whispering and stood up and saluted respectfully.
"Xiaomin, wait for His Royal Highness King Shou!"
"You don't have to be polite, this king came here today to tell you a news, the court's disposal order has come down, Liu Sun and Wu's three families have been oppressed and prepared, repeatedly committed illegal acts, annexed fields, connived at evil slaves to hurt and kill people more than ten times, and the head of his family and the people involved in the case were sentenced to exile of 3,000 li, and the family property was confiscated!"
Zhu Changluo didn't grind, and said directly.
It's just that his words were like a boulder thrown into the water, exploding among the merchants, making the people below instantly become agitated, and they didn't care about the ending of the Sun, Liu and Wu families at all.
Those black-hearted, unreverent Jin merchants, it would be better for them all to be rolled back to Liaodong.
What they really care about is what to do with the land, shops and goods left behind by these people, isn't this what they all came here for?
Zhu Changluo looked at the commotion below, but he couldn't help sneering in his heart, sure enough, the world was bustling for profit, just now they were complaining to themselves, and now a mouthful of fat is in front of them, and they immediately leave everything behind.
At the same time, Sun Rong on the side naturally saw the rapid change in the situation, and with his cleverness, he naturally instantly understood the reason why His Highness had let the merchants go untreated these days.
One more person stays, and one more person will share the cake!
Sun Rong didn't understand what His Highness meant by this strange sentence at that time, and what the so-called cake was a strange thing, but this military department prevented him from understanding the current situation.
Obviously, the businessmen who left this morning, although they may have benefited from the local gentry, were kicked out of this grand "cake sharing".
The three families of Sun, Wu and Liu have controlled Ping'an Mansion City for so many years, and the shops and fields they left behind are not a small amount......
What's more, what is most important to the merchants?
It's not just a few shops, it's a market! Today's merchants have gradually awakened to the sense of region, especially the group of Hui merchants, who are well versed in this, if they can take some of these shops, not to mention anything else, this large market in Ping'an Mansion alone is enough for them to eat a lot of money, at this moment, the merchants suddenly feel that all the silver these days is worth it!
"As you think, now the government has raided the shops of Sun, Liu and Wu, and these shops were originally in good condition, so the government intends to pack the land deed, the house deed and the goods stored in the shop, and the bidders on the scene will win!"
The chubby Li Wenhua stood up, cleared his throat and said.
This kind of thing obviously doesn't need a person of Zhu Changluo's level, so he can only wronged Li Wenhua, the magistrate, to come out in person.
After that, a few officials took a stack of thick papers and distributed them to the people present, and these merchants took a look, but their eyes were a little green......
