'Hiss~~~'

With the appearance of Wang Sirui, many business tycoons present couldn't help but gasp.

However, they are not lamenting the question of whether Wang Sirui is dead or not, because they have never seen Wang Sirui at all, and it is not the Internet era, although Wang Sirui is quite famous, only a few people have seen his true face.

What they sighed at was the age of the Chin Cha in front of them, who looked like he was only in his early twenties. Although they are merchants, it does not mean that they have not met the imperial court.

What kind of Chincha-sama is not forty or fifty years old? Even the thirties are rare, and it would be good to have one in a hundred years, but they have never seen these twenty-year-old chins.

"Are you all here?" Wang Sirui turned his head and asked Qin Chunfeng behind him.

Qin Chunfeng was originally the commander of the sixth battalion of the second regiment, and was later appointed as the commander of the fourth brigade and the tenth regiment after the expansion of the army.

Therefore, the task of organizing the meeting naturally fell on the 10th regiment after issuing the notice.

"Report to the commander, it's all here." Qin Chunfeng reported loudly, and more importantly, Qin Chunfeng wanted everyone present to know Wang Sirui's identity, which could be regarded as a deterrent to them, at least before objecting, he would weigh whether he was qualified enough.

"Closed venue!" Wang Sirui nodded and ordered.

'Squeak~~~'

With Wang Sirui's order, the heavy wooden door made a screeching sound, and the two tall wooden doors were closed from the inside by the four soldiers, and then the four rifles were placed on their chests.

This scene made many people a little unable to sit still.

The door is closed, and the four soldiers are standing there with their guns in hand. The scene in front of him made many people feel that this young Qincha seemed to have some ulterior motives.

"You are all elites in the business world, and everyone is very short of time, so I won't say more about some superfluous words, let's get straight to the point." Wang Sirui's first sentence was not to introduce himself, nor to get in touch with these businessmen, but to cut directly to the point, which made these businessmen who were accustomed to business wars a little difficult to accept for a while.

Shopping malls are like battlefields, these old fritters who have competed in the shopping mall all their lives, which one is not a typical example of deception?

In other words, if they weren't so deceitful behind their backs, they wouldn't have been invited by Wang Sirui, and businessmen who didn't have some means would never be able to become big.

"I called you here today mainly for three things." Wang Sirui continued, and immediately stretched out a finger: "First of all, regarding the price problem in the capital, starting tomorrow, I don't want to hear any people complain about the soaring price problem.

Of course, I know that you are all businessmen, and all these things are done for the sake of profit. But I would like to advise you that some money can be earned, and even if some money is earned, you have to spend it. The imperial court is very concerned about raising prices, so don't blame Ben Chin for not reminding you if something happens. ”

"My lord, the price increase, this is not my wish, but in the past year, there have been many wars near the capital, resulting in not many caravans daring to come to the capital to do business, and those of us who have a branch in the capital can't ignore it, so we can only send people to other places to purchase goods and transport them back to the capital to sell.

And this back and forth, invisibly increased the cost of goods, in addition, the caravan also needs to find the dart bureau to escort the dart, even so, there are often goods stolen by bandits.

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that the life of the people in this capital is too hard, even if we want to save our capital, we will never sell those goods at the current price. A businessman stood up and complained bitterly.

It seems that their current price is already a great advantage for the people.

Of course, Sun Lao Liu dared to stand up and complain in front of Qin Cha, but it was not just as simple as burning his brain for a while.

How shrewd is Sun Lao Liu? It only took ten years to develop a rice shop of the Sun family to a scale with more than 40 shops in the northern region, and the annual turnover account reached nearly one million taels of silver, and the profit was at least 100,000 taels a year.

Although compared with some behemoths, Sun Lao Liu's family property is indeed not worth mentioning, but I have to admit that Sun Lao Liu is still relatively talented.

And Sun Lao Liu's eyes are even more envious of a group of people in those shopping malls, and some small businessmen began to follow Sun Lao Liu, as long as Sun Lao Liu did something, they would follow what they did, and in the end they could make a small profit.

Sun Lao Liu saw the difficulties in the capital now, although the imperial court could exert pressure on some people, even ruthlessly.

But for these merchants, the imperial court can only win them over, because the people here in the capital still have to live, and if there is no merchant contact, then within three days, the capital will be completely chaotic.

The price of food has risen, so that Sun Lao Liu has earned the profit of the previous year in two months, how can Sun Lao Liu give up such a huge benefit?

But after all, the Qincha is the Qincha, and it also represents the imperial court, right? Sun Lao Liu is not arrogant enough to go against the wind of the imperial court, he doesn't want to reduce the price, but he also wants to find a step for the imperial court.

While ensuring his own interests, Sun Lao Liu will not make the other party too ugly, which is also one of the reasons why Sun Lao Liu has been able to get to this point.

"So, the court should thank you, right?" Wang Sirui squinted his eyes slightly and looked at Sun Lao Liu.

In fact, Wang Sirui didn't want to touch these businessmen deep down, because these businessmen were the foundation of the government's finances in the future, and it was impossible for him to apportion the debts to every citizen like the Qing court, and it was also impossible to increase the taxes of the merchants who were not light like the Qing court.

But in any case, the fact that businessmen can contribute much more to the state in taxes than ordinary people is.

But for a fearless guy like Sun Lao Liu, Wang Sirui will never let go, not wanting to move does not mean that no one will move, sometimes, it is still very important to kill chickens and monkeys.

"These are all things that businessmen like me should do. In the next word, I also hope that Lord Qincha will play the Holy Lord, and I hope that the Holy Lord can send troops to clear out the bandits in the trade road as soon as possible, so that more caravans can enter Beijing, and only in this way can the prices in the capital fall back to normal levels as soon as possible. Sun Lao Liu didn't know if he was in trouble or what's wrong, with his shrewdness, he didn't even be able to hear the meaning of Wang Sirui's words, but gave Wang Sirui advice.

However, there are also people who secretly express their appreciation for Sun Laoliu, it seems that Sun Laoliu has no one in his eyes and is arrogant, but in fact, Sun Laoliu is advancing and retreating, and clearly told Wang Sirui that if you want to bring prices down, the most important thing the court should do is to sweep away those bandits, not to put pressure on us businessmen who are still insisting.

"I also hope that Lord Qincha will play the imperial court to ensure the safety of the trade road!" Qiao Zhiyong suddenly stood up and petitioned.

"I also hope that Lord Qincha will play the imperial court ......"

With Qiao Zhiyong's appearance, more businessmen also understood the reason, the law does not blame the public, everyone is a businessman, and it is okay to delay for a few more days for their own interests, and now they have explained the situation to the court, whether the price will drop or not, it all depends on how the court decides.

"The imperial court can send troops, and Ben Qincha can answer you now. But since the purpose of sending troops is to ensure the safety of your business, shouldn't you, those with vested interests, also show some sincerity? The corners of Wang Sirui's mouth rose slightly and said.

"My lord, this is to ensure the safety of the trade road, it is a policy for the benefit of the country and the people, we merchants are already struggling, why should we wait for it, my lord?" Sun Lao Liu continued to jump out and said.

"But it's you who make money in the end, not me, not the court!" Wang Sirui responded lightly, and immediately said calmly as if Mount Tai was sitting still: "Okay, this matter is settled, give you a day, and at this time tomorrow, I will have someone come to pick it up in person." One of the people present was counted as one, and each family had 100,000 taels of silver and 50,000 catties of grain. In addition, I will report your zealous and truthful to the Holy One. Qin Chunfeng, this matter will be handed over to you, if someone refuses to pay it at that time, it will be dealt with as the crime of bullying the king. ”

"Yes, Commander!" Qin Chunfeng immediately responded.

"Oh, by the way, now is a special time, everything must be treated specially, those who are meritorious to the country should be rewarded twice, and those who are harmful to the country should be punished tenfold. If someone deceives the king, raids the family, and the whole family asks for beheading! Wang Sirui suddenly added.

After finishing speaking, Wang Sirui deliberately glanced at Sun Lao Liu, and Qin Chunfeng also saw this scene, and silently kept Sun Lao Liu in his heart, and he must be the first to go to Sun Lao Liu to collect money and grain tomorrow.

"My lord, how can you gather 100,000 taels of silver and 50,000 catties of grain in this day?" Sun Lao Liu understood Wang Sirui's meaning this time, and said in a little anxiety in his heart.

"That's your business, since you have petitioned the saint, the saint will definitely agree to the things that benefit the country and the people, as for the consequences, you have to think about it yourself." Wang Sirui didn't pay any more attention to Sun Lao Liu.

With his current strength, there is no need to talk too much to Sun Lao Liu, just say a word, agree, and support him well in the future, if he doesn't agree, then I'm sorry.

Regarding the difficulties in the capital, how can Wang Sirui not know? Besides, Wang Sirui has no intention of swallowing this money by himself, according to Wang Sirui's idea, half of it will be included in military spending, and the other half will be used to purchase grain, as an official direct camp point to evaluate and sell grain, as for grain, most of it will still be included in military rations, after all, there is not much surplus food in the army.
