Chapter 261: Suzhou's Interests
Tang Yi and Xu Wei helped Wen Zhengming out of the gate, and the three of them smiled happily, but the meaning behind the smile was completely different.
First of all, Mr. Wen, he wanted to know it with his old qualifications, and persuade Tang Yi to see the friendship of his fellow villagers and pull the big families along, where did he know that his mind was seen through by Tang Yi, and he was defeated by his army. Suddenly made the old man happy, he is indeed old, and some things should not be mixed up by himself.
Wen Zhengming planned to close the door, but Xu Wei had another thought, frankly Wen Zhengming came to intercede, Xu Wei was very, very lost, the four talents in Jiangnan, the fairy-like characters, even had to intercede for the insatiable beasts, and kept saying that the people were scholars in the world, how much weight did the people have in their hearts?
Xu Wei kept asking himself, compared to these two, Tang Yi was much more vulgar, and the time had come to reap the fruits of victory, but how to start, he still needed to weigh it carefully......
"Mr. Hengshan, is Tang Gongzi willing to see us?" Pang Ce asked excitedly.
Wen Zhengming nodded, looking at these people in front of him, all of them had gray hair, and they were all half a hundred years old, but when it came to shrewdness and wisdom, they were ten thousand times worse than Tang Yi, anyway, it was good to let them learn some lessons, the old man didn't say a word, and walked away, leaving a Xiao Suo back.
Pang Ce was suspicious, took more than a dozen people, exhausted the Tang family, did not take them to the main hall, but took them to the wing room, there was no tea and snacks at all, and the wait was an hour.
It makes the big guy extremely irritable, restless, and doesn't dare to leave.
Seeing noon, Tang Yi stretched his waist and walked in. Pang Ce was the first to stand up and took a few steps in front of Tang Yi.
"Yes. The old man took the liberty to come and was disturbed. ”
"Hehe, it's the boss, it's polite to be late."
Tang Yi walked in front of everyone, his eyes swept over the old faces, and he didn't speak. didn't have any expression, but he stared at these people one by one with their heads buried in their chests, and their old faces were hot.
After a long time of tea, the room fell into an eerie silence, the weather was hot, and there were many people in the room, all of them sweating, like a steamer.
Pang Ce couldn't sit still, and said, "Okay." The big guy came to ask for help to intercede, and now, only you can save the big guy, as long as you make a condition, we will definitely agree. ”
"Yes, yes, what do you want to do, please Tang Gongzi make it clear!"
Tang Yi looked at the earnest old face and smiled slightly. "God help yourself, I can't help you. You are the only ones who can save you! ”
Everyone was puzzled, and they looked at each other one by one, and they didn't dare to come out.
Tang Yi sat on the chair casually, crossed Erlang's legs, and smiled slightly, "It doesn't matter if you're sick." As long as you prescribe the right medicine, there will be a day of recovery, and the key is to figure out where the cause is, you all talk about it. ”
Let yourself say that it feels a bit like a homeroom teacher interrogating an elementary school student who has made a mistake. There are all bearded old men present, and many of them are also officials, which is really damaging to face. But they were at a loss, and they didn't dare to fall out with Tang Yi, so they could only be at his mercy.
Yu Yongqi served as an envoy in Fujian, the old man was in his early seventies, and he was very well maintained, his waist was straight, and his voice was loud.
"Tang Gongzi, we have all been deceived!" The old man said, his eyes were red, "Zhao Xu, a thief, is greedy for profit and vicious, we have to be at his mercy, so that it makes a big mistake, but fortunately, the consequences are not serious, and we also know that we are responsible for the people, but our intentions are good, and we ask Tang Gongzi to be clear." ”
Tang Yi raised his head and chuckled, "What about the others, you think so too?" ”
What else can these people say, nodding frequently, Tang Yi flicked his sleeves, didn't say a word, stood up and walked outside.
"Tang Gongzi!" Pontze shouted excitedly.
Tang Yi didn't look back, leaving only one sentence: think clearly and come again!
These big families are helpless, they have left the Tang Mansion one after another, there are many people who are still unconvinced, Tang Yi is a thing, the junior who has not dried up the milk, he dares to despise the big guy so much, it is really too deceitful!
What's the big deal with you, if you don't have Tang Butcher, you will eat hairy pigs, they discussed it, and sent two people to find Hou Yunlai, wanting to contact Jin Shang through him, so that they can be high-skilled and let them live.
After all, the strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, we admit defeat, we can't kill it all!
I thought it was very good, but Hou Yunlai didn't see them at all, so it was so boring.
In fact, the Jin merchants also knew that they were suffering at this time, they invested a lot of money, and even borrowed money from the two Huai salt merchants, desperately shorting the food stamps, and almost lost all their old capital.
Now although it has won a big victory, Zhao Xu and others have all run away, several of the largest businesses have closed their doors, and transactions have stopped, but the monks who can run can't run the temple, and the Jin merchants' ability to ask for money is absolutely first-class, and Wang Chonggu has decisively controlled all the industries of Zhao Xu and others.
If all goes well, the four major money banks will take over most of the money bank ticket numbers in Suzhou, and are expected to use Suzhou as a base to become the hegemon of the financial industry in the southeast.
For the Jin merchants, this is definitely an unprecedented victory, although the Shanxi people are strong, but the fat of maritime trade is not to be eaten. Suzhou is not only a financial center, but also the center of silk production, take Suzhou, pinch the silk, and then control the Songjiang muslin, you can snatch a large piece of fat from the hands of Fujian and Zhejiang merchants, and eat a mouth full of oil.
From then on, the Northern Jin Dynasty merchants, the southern Fujian and Zhejiang provinces will be completely rewritten, and the Jin merchants will become dominant.
However, although the prospects are good, it will not be easy to reap the fruits of victory. The biggest trouble was that during the Great War, the Jin merchants also put a lot of money in prints, and it was guaranteed by food stamps.
Because at that time, the Jin merchants also needed food stamps to suppress the momentum of the crazy rise in food prices, and they also calculated, if they accidentally failed, the food stamps continued to rise wildly, and they could make up for some losses with a lot of food stamps in their hands.
What seemed like a wise decision at the time turned out to be a big problem.
Due to the rapid decline of food stamps, the common people have calculated a little that the money they borrowed is already higher than the value of the food stamps. In this case, who will pay back, it is better to leave the food stamps with the ticket number.
Anyway, for so many years, the big guys have been bullied harder than the money village, and the mortgage of ten taels of silver can often only lend five taels of silver, but now it's okay, ten taels become one tael, and Lao Tzu also earned four taels!
Don't take advantage of the ticket number, that's the grandson!
The people have defaulted on their debts, making the four major money banks seriously short of cash, and they want to swallow the blank left by Zhao Xu and others, and there is only one way left, that is, to force the merchants and shops in Suzhou to eat the tickets at the original price, and dig meat from them to make up for the sores.
And behind the ticket number in Suzhou is the gentry group in Suzhou, and after figuring out the entanglement of interests behind it, the situation is obvious, how can the Jin merchants raise their noble hands and let go of the big families in Suzhou. Not only did he not care about their prayers, but he also held the butcher's knife high, opened his bloody mouth, and wanted to squeeze across the businesses one by one, and take the business of Suzhou into his arms.
Now, the gentry have finally woken up like a dream, and after thinking about it, no one can help them, so they can only ask to see Tang Yi again under the leadership of Pang Ce, Yu Yongqi and others, and more than 20 people came this time.
Pang Ce cried with a sad face and begged: "Tang Gongzi, we are all wrong, it is all our desire for profit, seeing that we are interested in money, and we follow Zhao Xu and others to toss indiscriminately, and the result is a cocoon and self-restraint, and now we are desperate, I implore Tang Gongzi to save us quickly." ”
A businessman surnamed Xu stood up even more, with a handful of snot and tears, "Tang Gongzi, the three silk villages under the name of the small one have all been squeezed and panicked, and the real estate has also returned to the Shanxi ticket number." They still didn't give up, and forced me to sell my land and redeem the food stamps. In this way, the small family can only drink the northwest wind! ”
"Tang Gongzi, be kind, help us!"
……
Tang Yi still looked at them lightly, and sneered slightly, "Everyone, I asked you to think about what the root cause of the disease is last time, but when we meet again this time, you still haven't figured out how to help you in the future!" Leave! ”
Tang Yi turned around and left decisively, the people present were stupid, they all admitted their mistakes in a low voice, do you want to force them to dig their ancestral graves by themselves!
Yu Yongqi's face was solemn, and he said angrily: "According to the old man, most of the people surnamed Tang are bluffing, and he has no way to save us." He delayed time so much, just to give Shanxi people a chance to annex us, don't forget that he and Wang Chonggu are wearing a pair of pants. ”
His words caused many people to nod, but some people hesitated, since the food stamps plummeted, only to see the Jin merchant ticket number action, Tang Yi's salt and iron pond has been standing still, not like helping Shanxi people.
Everyone hesitated, and at this time Pang Ce suddenly stood up and said: "Everyone, the old man heard that Wei Liangfu Wei Lao Wei came to Suzhou, let's go and ask him to come forward, and don't want the old man to help him, just let Tang Gongzi talk to us openly and honestly, don't play dumb riddles again, what do you think?" ”
"Okay, that's a good idea!"
Who doesn't know that Wei Liangfu is Tang Yi's mentor, these people hulala ran to Wei Liangfu's residence, crying and worshipping, finally nodded to Lao Wei, and they accompanied the old man and came to Tang Yi's mansion again.
Sure enough, Tang Yi respected the teacher very much, and let Wei Liangfu sit in the middle, and he sat with him, respectful and filial.
Lao Wei smiled: "Hongyuan." ”
"The disciple is here."
"The teacher is not here to help them, nor to force you to promise anything, they just ask you to make your words clear and let them know what is wrong, are you willing?"
Tang Yi hurriedly bowed down and said, "The teacher has a life, and the disciple doesn't dare to disobey." In fact, the disciples don't want to embarrass you, but the disciples feel that you are really confused! ”
"How?" Wei Liangfu asked.
"The disciple remembers that when Mr. Hengshan came to me, he said that for the sake of everyone's face from Suzhou, there are three words: Suzhou people! That's what I have in common with all of you, I would like to ask you yes, all of you, do you have the consciousness of Suzhou people? Do you know what you've done? ”
Everyone was speechless and at a loss for what to do when Tang Yi asked.
"Everyone, whether you cooperate with Zhao Xu to raise prices, or just go to beg Hou Yunlai, what you are doing is to sacrifice the interests of Suzhou, hoping that outsiders will reward you with a little soup and water, am I right?" (To be continued.) )
