The group of businessmen has been a group that has not been valued since ancient times, and no matter how powerful the businessmen are, they are just duckweed on the river in front of the state machine. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Not to mention that the group of people in Ping'an Mansion today are just outsiders who have just been stationed in Ping'an Mansion for less than half a year, and they have neither strong capital power nor family roots in the local area, all they can rely on is Zhu Changluo's blessing.

Of course, there are some people among the merchants who think they are smart, and they feel that the thigh of the Shou Wangfu is not easy to hold, after all, all the merchants in the city that His Royal Highness Prince Shou takes care of, and strictly speaking, this highness is not much longer than the time they have spent in the Ping'an Mansion.

Perhaps in terms of high-level power, this one is rampant, but in terms of practical benefits, it is naturally not as good as the silver taels and real land of white flowers.

So when the title deeds representing the good fields were sent to the door, they were all moved......

Jiang Hong is one of them, he was originally a small grain merchant in Hezhou next door, but because the local grain market has been divided by several big merchants, he actually can't make any money, so when the head of the guild hall called them together and asked them who wanted to do business in Ping'an Mansion, Jiang Hong was the first to respond.

Who dares to come out of his hometown to run a business, who doesn't have a bit of enthusiasm?

Although Jiang Hong didn't know what would happen to Ping'an Mansion at that time, his intuition told him that this was a sure deal, otherwise the old head of the association would not have retired for many years and went out to gather everyone again.

Later, he was placed in the hall of Fanchang County with a young man named Zhang Sugong, along with many businessmen from all walks of life.

Immediately afterwards, he and these businessmen witnessed a series of great changes in the city, and the three families of Liu Sun and Wu, who originally dominated the commercial houses of Ping'an Mansion, fell one after another, and the wealth of the Wanguan family was wiped out in an instant!

But as a qualified businessman, Jiang Hong will not have any sad emotions at all, he only knows that his opportunity has come.

Although the imperial court has always suppressed the development of merchants, it is undeniable that it is impossible for a city to have no merchants, especially the head of a prefecture like Heian Fucheng.

The collapse of the three families of Liu, Sun and Wu will inevitably bring a vacuum in the entire Ping'an Mansion shopping mall, and they are obviously the candidates who will fill this vacuum!

What is most important for a businessman? The market, of course!

As long as he can occupy the market of a place, no matter how stupid the businessman is, he can make a lot of money, so Jiang Hong has been insisting, even if the nobleman in the city asks them to sell goods at a low price or even at a loss to stabilize the people's hearts, he will not hesitate to do so.

Because he knows that there are countless shops and huge markets in this city, as long as he can occupy a place in it, why can't he make a fortune?

There is no doubt that he succeeded!

Even if some people secretly persuaded him to leave with a large sum of silver, he did not waver at all, and finally survived to the moment of sharing profits, he ate three grain farms at a price of less than seventy percent of the market price, and became the largest grain merchant in Ping'an Mansion in one fell swoop!

Just these three grain shops let him recover all the capital he had lost before, not to mention that these grain shops can open their doors to do business after they are taken over, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are making money every day......

But the more this is the case, the more uneasy Jiang Hong's heart becomes, the so-called being prepared for danger in times of peace, at this moment he has settled down, and he began to think of the thunderous means of the one in the city, how strong he is to the three families of Liu Sun and Wu, but he became a prisoner of the stairs overnight, which made him even more panicked.

So in the end, Jiang Hong made up his mind, he found the Wu family, the family of the gentry with the deepest roots here, and let his eldest son marry a concubine of the Wu family as his wife, and he was finally a little relieved.

But a few days after the comfortable days, as soon as His Royal Highness the Prince in the city left, a message came from his own in-laws on the back foot, asking him to cooperate with raising the price of grain, and after some inquiry, Jiang Hong knew that there were people in the capital who wanted to break his arms with His Royal Highness, and his in-laws were all chess pieces, let alone him?

Besides, although he and the Wu family are nominally in-laws, they are just businessmen who borrowed from the Wu family, so how can there be room for refutation?

So even if he knew that this kind of behavior was tantamount to betrayal to His Highness who had brought him so much wealth, Jiang Hong still did it, thinking about it, taking care of the Wu family's face, he would never have anything to do......

What's more, the Wu family took out dozens of acres of fertile land, which is a priceless thing, with these fertile fields, he can really take root here!

But what Jiang Hong didn't expect was that His Royal Highness's methods this time were as violent as ever, and what he didn't expect was that a large group of gentry who were originally fierce were defeated in one round.

From the time he knew that Wu Shanchang brought a large gift to the Prince Shou's Mansion to apologize, he knew that this time he was afraid that something would be wrong......

Looking at the familiar face in front of him, Jiang Hong almost didn't stand firm, and asked tremblingly.

"Brother Wang, Brother Li, what do you say, pay ten times the fine within three days? In this hurry, where did the old man go to find such a large sum of silver taels? Besides, even if the old man does not have a household registration in Ping'an Mansion, the money for buying the land should always be returned to the old man! ”

He knew these two officials, they were the officials of the city, and they were not less filial on weekdays, but now they had a face that turned their faces and did not recognize people.

As soon as Jiang Hong said this, the young man surnamed Wang among the two officials was not happy, and his face was flat.

"Shopkeeper Jiang doesn't want to talk nonsense, our Shen Governor's Mansion treats people generously, how can we do such a difficult thing for a strong man? Since you have violated the king's law, it is a matter of duty to pay the silver, but with such a large amount of silver, I also know that it is not easy for you to raise it, so I did not say when it would be paid, but you have no household registration here, and you must leave the city within three days! As for the money that bought the land? Hehe, whoever collects it will find whoever goes! ”

"Then the old man will move out first, and the money will be paid off within a month?"

"What do you say?"

This time, it was the elder officer surnamed Li who spoke, and he had a good relationship with Jiang Hong, so he sighed and said.

"Old Jiang, don't struggle, you know what the problem is in your heart? There are so many shops in this city, not all of them have to move back to their hometowns, listen to Lao Li's advice, we are still reasonable, leaving a way for people to live, your grain village must be worth a few dollars, quickly sell it and pay off the silver and go back to your hometown, a few days later, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult......"

After finishing speaking, the official surnamed Li beckoned, and went straight out with the official surnamed Wang beside him.

Jiang Hong was stunned for a long time, and then he woke up, slumped on the chair, and regretted not being at the beginning!

He doesn't know the current situation, he has sent people to the Wu family three times and twice, but they are all closed, and he has also inquired about the price code of these shops, but those who are down the ground are only willing to pay 20% of the market price!

He has just invested most of his savings in these grain farms, and now he has to sell them cheaply for less than 20 percent? Isn't it for his life!

What's more, even if this is sold, it will be enough to pay off the fine, but his savings over the years have been completely ruined......
