North County Chengjun Palace

King Chengjun was high on the throne, and his eyes were cold like a falcon.

The heads of the businessmen were lowered, like schoolchildren who had made mistakes, and they did not dare to make a sound.

"Tell me ... ”

"What's going on?"

After a while, King Chengjun asked faintly.

"Lord Wang!"

"You really can't blame me for this time... ”

"It's the merchants of Zhibei County who don't follow the rules and dump at low prices, and the people in the city don't buy our goods!"

"That's why there is so little money on the books!"

"Yes!"

King Chengjun nodded lightly, he had also heard of the recent actions of Zhibei County.

However, when he thought of the shrinking of the silver money, King Chengjun still had an indescribable anger in his heart.

After all, both political affairs and military affairs are inseparable from money.

In order to ensure the use of the royal palace and military and political expenses, King Chengjun also has a group of merchants to serve him.

These merchants were collectively referred to as imperial merchants by the outside world.

"Situ Punishment!"

"It's another sentence!"

Thinking of someone, King Chengjun's eyes couldn't help shrinking, and he said through gritted teeth.

"Is there nothing you can do about him?"

"He's cheap, you can bargain too!"

"Lord Wang!"

"It's not that I'm greedy, there's really no way to follow!"

"Taking cloth as an example, the cost of producing a piece of cloth is about 50 yuan... ”

"If you take into account the profit factor, you must sell more than seventy yuan in order not to lose money... ”

"However, the traveling merchants of Zhibei County are unified for sale in fifty wen to the outside world!"

"I really can't wait... ”

The imperial merchant led by him couldn't help but show a trace of bitterness on his face, and said helplessly.

"That's it!"

"Lord Wang... ”

"The people in Zhibei County are crazy. ”

"They transport long distances, and logically speaking, the cost should be higher!"

"But for some reason, they dare to sell at such a low price!"

The other imperial merchants also looked helpless, and said a little confused.

"Businessman Tuli, I really don't know what the people in North County think... ”

"This... ”

Listening to the complaints and grievances of the imperial merchants, King Chengjun's eyes couldn't help but stagnate.

Before today's meeting, he also sent someone to do an investigation, although it was not as detailed as the businessmen knew, but he also understood a general idea.

The Northshire merchant is now stuck with two unsolvable options.

Follow the price reduction, don't make money, or even say lose money...

If you don't follow the price reduction, the people will not buy your products, the goods will be backlogged, and you can only close the door in the end.

"I don't believe it!"

"I don't believe that the people of Zhibei County can do this all the time!"

"Hurting others is not good for yourself!"

"He's fighting a price war... ”

"Then we'll accompany them to the end!"

"Our workshops are all close by, there is no transportation cost, and in the end, they must be at a loss!"

An imperial businessman with a rough face and a not very good personality slapped the table heavily, and said with some hatred.

"That's it!"

"Let's form a group and drag the people of Zhibei County to death!"

Several other imperial merchants also stood up and said excitedly.

"Everyone, don't be impatient!"

"Lao Dao has already issued an order to the fine work of Zhibei County!"

"We'll find out soon!"

Seeing that all the imperial merchants were a little impatient, the old Taoist in Tsing Yi hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Humph!"

"Silence!"

"Hugh is going to make noise!"

"The specific situation, this king has already sent someone to investigate, and there will be results later!"

Seeing that everyone was noisy, King Chengjun's face couldn't help but rise a little, and he said sharply.

。。。

"Happy event!"

"Your Excellency!"

"Great joy!"

Xiao He rushed into the county office with a happy face and said loudly.

"Xiao He, what a happy event, it made you so out of shape!"

Looking at Xiao He, who was full of joy and a little out of shape, Situ Xing's eyes couldn't help but stagnate, you must know that Confucianism explains demeanor, losing honor in front of nobles is a very indecent and impolite thing, and when you meet a narrow-minded Shangguan, I am afraid that you will be punished heavily.

However, he was not that kind of person, so he did not reprimand, but stepped forward and asked with a smile.

Xiao He also seemed to notice his gaffe, and hurriedly covered his cheeks, but there was still a strong joy in the corners of his eyes.

"Your Excellency!"

"Our weaving cloth is selling very well in the surrounding counties!"

"The most important thing is that our flower cloth quickly occupied the market, and according to this trend, I am afraid it will not take long. ”

"Most of the handicraft workshops in the surrounding counties, as well as in the northern counties, will go out of business!"

"Yes!"

Situ Xing nodded lightly, feeling a little unbearable in his heart, the handicraftsmen would definitely go out of business under the impact of the mechanical tide, and countless textile workers would be laid off.

Although he had no patience in his heart, he didn't have any regrets.

Because he knows that this is a historical necessity.

This is the general trend!

No one can stop ...

All he could do was try to arrange jobs for the unemployed workers...

After all, the current Zhibei County is a brand new city, full of opportunities, full of jobs...

As long as they are sure to work hard and are willing to endure hardships, they will definitely be able to find a satisfactory job.

"This matter is expected by the officer... ”

"Anything else?"

Situ Xing nodded lightly and said without any surprise.

"There's also not too good news!"

"King Chengjun and the emperor discussed, planning to jointly deal with the traveling merchants of Zhibei County... ”

Xiao He's eyes flickered, and after hesitating for a while, he said with a somewhat unsightly face.

"What about the specific plan?"

Situ Xing's face couldn't help but sink.

Unexpectedly, those businessmen still couldn't sit still!

But think about it, Situ and Zhibei County are too ruthless this time, if they don't react, they will inevitably be devoured in the end.

"Not yet... ”

"But come to think of it, it must be a vicious anomaly!"

Hearing Situ Xing's inquiry, Xiao He couldn't help but shake his head lightly and said with some worry.

"Yes!"

Situ Xing nodded lightly, indicating that he understood.

"What is the rate of industrial development in our territory?"

Industry is a general term for the emerging handicraft industry and the machinery manufacturing industry.

After communication, Xiao He and others are no strangers to the word of industry.

With the application of mechanical puppet technology to industry and the establishment of a business network extending in all directions, Zhibei ushered in the first industrial transformation.

More and more tenant farmers entered the city and became craftsmen and workers.

The wealthy families in the countryside who live on rent collection are anxious, but there is nothing they can do...

After all, the income from the handicraft industry is much higher than the income from farming.

There are also many local wealthy families who have left the primitive farming mode of land and begun to invest in industry and cooperate with the government to build large-scale advanced workshops.
