26, deal with officials and businessmen
Shen Cong's heart is particularly clear that this confrontation with the emperor and let the emperor compromise, not because of the strength of the Shen family, but because the Ming Dynasty has just been founded, the people are living in poverty, industry and commerce are in ruins, the current fragile social productive forces simply can't withstand the toss, a little careless, the people of the world may drive the Zhu family down, forced by the pressure of reality, the royal family was forced to compromise with the Shen family, if this is a peaceful and prosperous era, I am afraid that the emperor will not take care of it at all, and directly send troops on a large scale.

But in the final analysis, the strength of the Shen family is not enough, if the Shen family can play a pivotal role in Daming, then Zhu Yuanzhang will have to weigh several times if he wants to deal with the Shen family in the future.
If you want to improve the weight of confrontation with Zhu Yuanzhang, you must strengthen the strength of the Shen family, and the Shen family is most proud of its huge economic wealth and complete industrial and commercial facilities, it seems that the Shen family needs to further develop the economy of the Shen family, so that the Shen family can penetrate into all places, industries, and levels in the Ming Dynasty, so that it can be pervasive and seamless, and only in this way can Zhu Yuanzhang be afraid of the Shen family in the future.
Merchants play a very important role in ancient society, but on the contrary, this role is the saddest, merchants earn a lot of wealth through industrious commercial trade, and then they will be deprived of a large amount of income by the ruler in the form of various harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and even the wealth of the merchant will also provoke the eyes of the ruler, and then use various excuses to destroy the merchant, this kind of tragic event is too many in history.
In ancient times, merchants had the capital to develop larger businesses, but in order to avoid the eyes of the feudalists, they had to buy a large amount of fertile land, and then spend their lives like this, but you bought a lot of land, and then caused land annexation, and the peasants lived in poverty, so how could the ruler let you go.
Therefore, the prosperity of businessmen suffers, and the death of businessmen suffers, and businessmen have always been a relatively weak character.
It's just that when Shen Cong is here, the rules of history should be abandoned, all the rules of the game must be changed, he will definitely not bow to the ruler, what he has to do is to strengthen the Shen family's business, and let the royal family see the Shen family's face and act, but there is a long way to go!
In the past few days of closing, Shen Mao has been rectifying the shops in Chang'an, and he found that the bad competition in the shops in Chang'an is too great, and various merchants have to sell at low prices or even at a loss in order to sell products and compete for business, so this makes the Shen family suffer heavy losses, and also makes the Shen family's opponents suffer heavy losses.
In the market, because the Shen family is rich and famous in the world, so the various merchants hate the Shen family to the core, they always unite against the Shen family, but both sides did not make too much profit, but on the contrary, they let the government's shops take advantage of the loopholes, so this problem must be solved, and they can no longer hurt each other like this, and they must be twisted into a rope to fight against the officials and businessmen.
In the past few days, Shen Cong has been looking forward to people taking the initiative to invite various merchants in Chang'an to meet and are willing to cooperate with them sincerely, and the major merchants have also learned about Shen Cong through various news, and they also know that this is a powerful role, and it is a role that His Majesty the Emperor can't do with him, so they all pushed the boat to express their willingness to participate in the Chamber of Commerce organized by the Shen family.
At the initiative of the Shen family, the merchants finally agreed to meet, and everyone had a party at the Chang'an Restaurant.
Shen Cong greeted everyone before and after running, trying to give everyone a good impression, in fact, the effect of this has also been achieved, through detailed discussions, these people have a deeper understanding of Shen Cong, and they are extremely appreciative of Shen Cong.
Seeing that the people were almost here, Shen Cong smiled and walked onto the high platform, and the scene was quiet in an instant, and everyone's eyes were firmly fixed on Shen Cong.
"This time, I invited everyone here, Shen Mou compensated you on behalf of the Shen family, Shen knew that the Shen family had done a lot of things that damaged our relationship with each other for the sake of interests, so that we suffered heavy losses to each other, and I sincerely compensated everyone." Shen Cong bent down deeply and bowed to the merchants below.
All the merchants looked at Shen Cong with wide eyes, not knowing what this Shen Gongzi wanted to do.
Shen Cong raised his body and smiled slightly: "As the saying goes, the snipe and the clam compete, the fisherman profits, we used to fight for each other for the market, and the blood flow suffered heavy losses, so please think about it, who eats the big fat when we fight and the net is broken?" Who monopolized the market when we were in vicious competition? ”
Shen brushed everyone's hearts from this remark, and everyone was a human spirit, so he naturally connected his thoughts to the heads of the shops controlled by the government.
"Boss Zhang, listening to what this Shen Gongzi meant, it seems that the Shen family is going to take action against the shops controlled by the government."
"There is really this trend, but I heard that the price increase of the Shen family's shops has indirectly caused chaos in Chang'an and chaos in Nanjing, His Majesty is furious and has taken action, and many officials have been dealt with to calm the anger of the people, and at the same time, the food and clothing of the palace are also specially announced outside the palace."
"The Shen family is rich in the world, and commerce circulates throughout the country, Your Majesty was already afraid of it, but now the Shen family has created chaos to make the court soften, and this matter is still leaky, how can Your Majesty have an excuse to trouble the Shen family, it is said that Master Shen has also been released."
"This Shen Gongzi is even more powerful and bold than his father, and he actually wants to compete with the imperial court, he is really self-defeating......"
The sound of discussion below continued to enter Shen Cong's ears, and Shen Cong pricked up his ears to listen to these people's discussions very calmly.
Shen Cong coughed and drew everyone's attention back: "Shen has said this, everyone must understand what Shen means, right?" That is, we twist into a rope to deal with the government and businessmen, and strive to grasp the pricing power of the market in our hands to ensure the maximization of our returns. ”
Shen Cong's words were like a soldering iron falling into cold water, which caused the audience to boil in an instant, everyone was stunned by the big eyes, everyone guessed what Shen Cong meant, but when Shen Cong said it himself, everyone was still scared.
"Shen Gongzi, although we are all businessmen, but our strength is really not worth mentioning compared with the Shen family, we just want to make a little money to support our family, our own safety is the most important, if we compete with officials and businessmen, it is against the imperial court, and we really can't take this risk." An old man seemed to be a figure with a head and a face in this group of people, and he slowly stood up and said on behalf of the majority of merchants.
The others nodded their heads in agreement with the old man's words.
