Li Chengqian, who stayed up for two days and one night, fell asleep like a faint, the ancients were fourteen or fifteen years old, and they were full of momentum and the age of doing business, especially a brute force, so after his brute strength was released, what was left behind was a bunch of messes, and he took almost all the big merchants and family members in Yangzhou City, which would directly affect the economic operation of the entire Yangzhou City, Yang Lin could imagine that if he hadn't told the fleet to continue to sell all kinds of goods today before going to bed, the people of Yangzhou City might not even be able to buy daily necessities.

As soon as Yang Lin got off the boat, he saw Gao Shilian, who had also stayed up for two days and one night, and it could be seen from his expression that the current situation was probably very bad, the reason why Yangzhou City was prosperous was because of these merchants, usually Gao Shilian tried his best to have a good relationship with them, so as to ensure that the taxes of Huainan did not go wrong, and he had been with him at the scene during the interrogation of the prince, to be honest, that Lu Bingchang was just drunk and accidentally planted under the boat, if it wasn't for his overboard, the officers and soldiers might not be able to find the traces of the Venezuelan people, It should be said that he still has a bit of credit in disguise, but he couldn't resist the beating that Li Chengqian used to vent his anger and told the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce about the grain tuning, otherwise he should have been acquitted a long time ago.

"High Thorn History, let those merchants and their families go! Sue them, the matter has been interrogated clearly, let them go back to restore production and life, a prosperous Yangzhou city is too important for the imperial court, don't make any more mess. ”

Yang Lin's words reached Gao Shilian's heart, and he hurriedly released the people after receiving the order, but Chu Suiliang seemed to have some objections, and after Gao Shilian walked away, he whispered to Yang Lin: "Horses, grain, Yangzhou merchants have all the grain in Huainan in their hands, and you just happened to use them to get involved in the ship robbery case and force them to hand over the grain." ”

"Now that we know that the food is already in their hands, there are many ways to get them to hand it over. But the last thing I want to use is to use power and coercion, which will produce great sequelae, at least it will make the businessmen and the court deviate from morality, resulting in endless commercial wars in the future, the court wants to develop agricultural merchants, the first thing to pay attention to is to deal with them well, the beaten Lu Bingchang is the son of the leading big clan in Jiangnan, if we deal with him now, I dare to say that the top priority of our trip 'Jiangnan' will encounter layers of resistance, and make good use of him. The grain harvesting plan in the south of the Yangtze River will be implemented very smoothly, first send someone to send him back, give some good medicines, I believe that as long as he can walk the way, he will quickly beat a rake, come to me to ask for the law, that time is a good time for us to talk about business. Yang Lin explained.

Chu Suiliang thought about Yang Lin's words carefully, and was shocked to realize that he was thinking about it so shallowly, and there was a horse master who came out to take charge. After two days and one night, he could sleep peacefully.

Sure enough, Lu Bingchang dared to leave the foundation of his family and come to Yangzhou to make a fortune, and he was able to resist death without recruiting the location of the grain, which is also a hard bone. After resting at home for a day, he ordered someone to carry him to the dock, and there were several merchants in charge of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, and Yanglin, who was busy dealing with sales, took the time to meet them.

"Gong Moru, the old Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, led the directors of the meeting to meet the god and the horse." Gong Mo is like a man with white hair and a white beard, and he looks like an immortal in a later mythological drama. However, according to the general aging process of Datang, he is in his sixties at most, or even in his sixties. The Emperor Li Yuan in the palace didn't look younger than him.

If an eight- or nine-year-old boy wants a gray-haired old man to bow to him, it is a sin, Yanglin's gesture of exemption from etiquette is fast, Gong Moru's false gift is also fast, and he was inexplicably detained for a day, they are naturally a little angry in their hearts, if it weren't for their status there, Gong Moru would not even have the etiquette of giving his hand.

"President Gong is polite, the kid is busy with things, and he is about to take the time to go and meet him!" Yang Lin's polite words are even more vain, but there is a bit of the taste of old fritters in the business field, he is indeed an old fritter in the business field, in later generations, he has been in the shopping mall for several years.

On the table on the deck, the guests and hosts sat down, and the waiting people set up the drinks and refreshments, and Lu Bingchang, who was injured, took the lead in speaking: "Dare to ask the master of the horse, the day before yesterday, the little people were drunk on the flower boat of the imperial court, and accidentally fell into the river, but they were detained by the prince's guards for no reason, and they were tortured, and the families of all the members of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce where I am located were detained. ”

"Daring, are you questioning me? If I hadn't excused you in front of the prince, would I really think that the great crime of collaborating with the enemy and rebelling would not have destroyed you and the nine clans? "Don't look at Yang Lin as a child, but the momentum of the person who has been in the top position for a long time is not lost, and the loud shout of the internal qi is that the businessmen who are sitting are stunned for a moment.

"The horse master is angry, the horse master is angry, we are just here to understand the situation today, Brother Lu was tortured, I can't help but be a little angry, please Ma Ye Haihan, but what the people don't know is, why did I collaborate with the enemy and rebel? Is it too rash for the court to arrest people without evidence? Gong Moru's tone sounded like a low-voiced plea, but in fact, he asked the question more concretely.

"When he fell into the water, it coincided with the robbers of the Japanese kingdom who killed the government soldiers and robbed the water steamer of the imperial court, do you know that this does not need sails, no oarsmen, and the water wheel that can be viable against the water is a heavy weapon of the state, once it falls into the hands of foreign hostile forces, how much damage will it cause to the country, don't say that he is suspicious, even if he is not, as long as he is on the spot, it is necessary for the prince to detain and interrogate him, if it is verified, this is the crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. Moreover, the businessmen of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce hoarded grain and rice in Huainan prefectures and counties for no reason, did they want to help those thieves rebel? There are such two serious suspicions, shouldn't the court interrogate you? "Yang Lin set the people of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce in the position of the suspect in a few words, as long as you are a suspect, it is right for the court to lock you into questioning, and if you are seriously suspected like Lu Bingchang, it is natural to use torture.

"It's really wronged! It is the nature of our businessmen to hoard goods in demand to make profits, and one day is just to get drunk on the flower boat, and the guide falls off the bow of the ship, which is just a coincidence, so why rebel. Lu Bingchang said with a bitter face, as smart as he was, he had already thought that once he was beaten in the position of a rebel suspect, it would be difficult for him to speak in the subsequent negotiations.

"That's why I released you later! However, you have in your hands the food that can affect the political situation of the imperial court, and you will not let it go for a day. The suspicion on your body will not be relieved for a day, and the supermarket project that Ben Pony wanted to cooperate with you and others has to be put on hold and look for other people who are good at management. Yanglin pretended to be disappointed, and now no one in Datang does not know that the top ten factories in the east and west are industries dominated by the heavenly concubines, but he is only a deputy envoy in this trip, and the envoy is the crown prince Li Chengqian, and there is even a Wei King Li Tai whose identity is more valuable than Yanglin. But it encountered obstacles from the imperial court.

"Why, is it possible that as long as we and other merchants have food in hand, they are suspected of rebellion?" Lu Bingchang asked indignantly.

"Of course not, the premise is that the merchant can not take food in the mouth of the imperial court, the land of Huainan has always been the largest granary of the imperial court except for the south of the Yangtze River, if the merchant is allowed to hoard grain and grass here, and plot against him, it is not the style of the imperial court. You know, our emperor has always been a master who eats soft rather than hard, and if you want to shake his position, even if it is 100,000 Turkic iron horsemen. can also be beheaded with 3,000 iron armor soldiers, not to mention that you and other businessmen, what the emperor wants, it is clear and reasonable to wield a butcher's knife to rob it. It is also the easiest. Yanglin's childish voice was a bit murderous, and negotiation was actually a battle with people's momentum. The merchant wants to pinch the neck of the imperial court, so the imperial court will cut off the claws of the merchant, which is nothing to say.

"The words of the master of the horse are strict, I wait for the businessmen, I just want to make money comfortably, and have fun every day, but I don't have the intention of rebellion, since the court has the plan to move the knife without food, we naturally have to obey one way, but this year's Guanzhong disasters have been repeated, and the price of grain has soared in various places, and we have no intention of rebellion, in order to clear the suspicion, we still have to sell these grains, for the sake of profit, just waiting to find someone who can take over the starting price, Naturally, we'll sell it out. "Gong Moru is not as young as Lu Bingchang, he is even more sophisticated, in his opinion, the imperial court for the sake of the country, it is really possible to wave a butcher's knife against the merchants in Yangzhou, Lu Bingchang has the Lu family in the south of the Yangtze River, naturally he is bolder, they don't dare to take risks.

"How much grain is there, and how much is it worth?"

Yang Lin asked simply and clearly, and Lu Bingchang also answered quickly, Gong Moru, who was afraid of the imperial court, opened a low price, and shouted first: "Grain is 500,000 stones, worth 2 million yuan." ”

I thought that this unit price would surprise Yanglin, but unexpectedly, Yanglin nodded with a smile and said "good", you know, the grain price in Yangzhou is usually enough to buy two stones, but now the price quoted by Lu Bingchang is four dollars and one stone, which has increased by eight times.

"Alas! I thought that Yangzhou was prosperous, and there would be some people who were proficient in business in the Chamber of Commerce of Nuoda, but it turned out to be just some philistines who were greedy for small profits, just two million yuan, the imperial court took it, and the goods were handed over on the same day. With a wave of Yang Lin's hand, the guards had already stood on the road, looking like they had finished talking about the sale and sending off the guests.

"Three days? 500,000? Gong Moru and several businessmen from the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce took a breath of cool air, the key is the second half of the sentence, the caravan of the imperial court should be stationed in Yangzhou and continue to operate, you know, a complete range of goods from the top ten factories of things have been sold in Yangzhou City these days, and the turnover of the original shops in Yangzhou City has been squeezed to almost zero, and even the most prosperous prostitution industry has been stunned in Chang'an's flower boat A few days after the appearance of no one came to the door, if the caravan of the imperial court stopped here and operated for a long time, Then the various industries of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce may be in crisis with the door.

Lu Bingchang, who reacted very quickly, suddenly found that it was not only himself stuck in the neck of the imperial court, but also the imperial court was stuck in his neck, and the current financial resources of the imperial court were too strong, and it was not at all that he was bluffing at a price.
