23, counterattack

Shen Cong crossed Erlang's legs and looked at the Shen family who came here, good guys, there are still a lot of people, not including the big and small guys below, it can be seen how powerful the Shen family's business is, so that the emperor has a bad idea, if this kind of wealth really falls into the hands of Zhu Yuanzhang, I am afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang will wake up laughing in his dreams, Zhu Yuanzhang is happy, then he is not happy, obviously, Shen Cong is not a loser.

"The recent changes in the Shen family, I think everyone knows about it, and you should also know the mastermind behind the scenes." Shen Cong looked at these Shen family businessmen and smiled slightly, at this moment, he wanted to explore the psychology of these people, after all, this time the opponent was really too strong, and he couldn't afford to make a mistake.

Everyone chuckled in their hearts, they didn't understand the deeper meaning of what Shen Cong said, they glanced at each other, and then said in unison: "We all know, and everything is arranged by Gongzi." ā€

Shen Cong lowered his head and played with the mark, and it took a long time before he raised his head: "How many years have you been doing things in our Shen family, this son is not clear, this son only recognizes what he sees with his eyes, so you think about it clearly, if you follow this son, it may cost you your life, for example, there is a mole in the Shen family, we can't resist the emperor's butcher's knife, and then we all die in Huangquan, or the mole is discovered by this son, and this son hates the mole the most, so this son will take his life." ā€

Speaking of this, Shen Cong smiled weirdly, he really wanted to see how this group of people could react, and he also wanted this group of people to know that the emperor's slap was very painful, and his own slap would hurt even more.

After listening to Shen Cong's words, everyone's complexion changed a few times, and some people's bodies even trembled a few times, but fortunately, the companions on the side stretched out their hands to prevent them from falling.

"Lao Liu, what do you think?"

"Childe's words are already very clear, it is estimated that he is giving us a horse and asking us to choose a side, I believe that he is worried about our actions, whether he will unswervingly follow him or betray him halfway."

"And what are you going to do?"

"It's all at this point, what choice is there? Ancient and modern Shen Conggongzi has mastered the power of the Shen family, if we leave the Shen family's shop now, then everything we have will immediately go with the wind, and the life of the family will become a problem, both horizontal and vertical are dead, it is better to follow the son to fight, otherwise we will have to return to the hard days of farming for the landlord, and I don't want to go back at all. ā€

……

There was a lot of discussion below, and Shen Cong didn't urge them, giving them time to think.

"We are willing to follow Gongzi to tide over the difficulties together, and we are willing to contribute to the prosperity of the Shen family." Everyone discussed for a while, and they all decided to follow Shen Cong, after all, they must not lose the existing interests, as for the future, who knows, maybe it is not impossible for the Shen family to fly and soar.

Shen Cong got up and bowed deeply to everyone: "Thank you for your trust, Shen Cong is here to assure you that as long as I, Shen Cong, am here for a day, then everyone's life will be safe and sound." "In the end, the strength of the Shen family's business is maintained by these people, and it is impossible to change blood for a while, and at this moment the Shen family must unite the hearts of the people, only in this way can they resist the slaughter of the imperial power.

"Thank you Gongzi for your trust, we will definitely follow Gongzi forward, go to the soup and fire, and never give up." Everyone hurriedly returned the salute.

Shen Cong said boldly, "From today on, everyone's monthly silver will rise by 10%, and whoever does their best in the future will rise again." "Under the heavy reward, there must be brave men, and the subordinates must be both rigid and soft, not only to have an iron-blooded policy, but also to have a soft policy, only the two means complement each other, this ship will go further.

Everyone was overjoyed when they heard it, they didn't expect the prince to be so bold.

Shen Cong waved his hand to soothe everyone's excitement and said: "Next, my son is going to arrange things, from today on, the price of items in Chang'an must be raised, don't care about any losses, although the price is raised, especially the daily necessities such as firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are going to be raised in price, do you all remember?" ā€

"Why did Childe raise the price?" All the bosses were stunned when they heard this.

Shen Cong sneered and said: "Our Shen Family Chamber of Commerce has worked tirelessly in the middle for the sake of the people and the good life of the dignitaries and nobles, but this group of white-eyed wolves eat our good, but they still come to frame us, we must come out of this tone, and let the people and the government remember that our Shen family is indispensable and irreplaceable." ā€

"Of course, this reason must also be sufficient, you can't come casually, you just claim that the pipes are blocked, the local officials are corrupt and bribed, and the official roads are not repaired, which delays the issuance of goods, so we have to raise prices, do you all remember?" In short, we have to tell the people of the world, it's not that we want to raise prices, or that the court doesn't cultivate official roads, and we can't transport goods, so blame the court.

Zhu Yuanzhang wants our Shen family to carry the black cauldron, so you Zhu Yuanzhang should also carry the black cauldron.

"Yes, young master." The bosses nodded their heads again and again to indicate that they had understood.

"Immediately notify the Shen family shops in Nanjing, Suzhou, which are relatively close to the imperial court, let them open their shops, and then encourage the people to enter the shops to grab things, and if necessary, they can burn the shops, in short, the bigger the trouble, the better, the more chaotic the better, and implement it immediately." Shen Cong gave another order.

The bosses were stunned when they heard this, didn't they destroy their own shop? But Shen Cong said that he had to do this, and everyone had to nod and agree.

Soon, a handwritten document from Shen Cong sealed with a pass seal was sent out from Chang'an overnight, and he went straight to Suzhou, Hangzhou and Nanjing.

At the same time, the major shops in Chang'an area have also raised their prices, and the prices are outrageously high, for example, the original price of a bucket of salt was about 100 Wen, but now it has directly increased several times, and so is rice, and the price of a bucket of rice is almost one or two silver.

Early the next morning, when the people of Chang'an went to buy something, the people were taken aback by this price.

"Why did you raise the price? Yesterday it wasn't at this price. A lady said to the guy.

The guy smiled slightly and said: "Auntie, don't you know, this pipe is blocked, the goods can't be sent, we only have this stock here, but we also have to eat, so we can only increase the price, and please understand." ā€

"You are a people of fish and flesh. If traitors like you will be punished, the people of your Shen family will not die well. The surrounding people scolded their fathers and mothers angrily.
