Dozens of little old men and old men were trained by Tang Yi to be like grandsons, and they didn't even have the courage to raise their heads.

"As the saying goes, rabbits don't eat the grass by the nest, and everyone here has lived in Suzhou for much longer than me, and you don't have any emotion for the land under your feet and the people who are facing each other day and night? Or is a little bit of silver enough to blindfold you? Something happened, I want to pray for help, and I remembered the friendship of my fellow villagers? Tang Yi continued to ask: "Don't you want to think about it, whether Zhao Xu wins or Jin Shang wins, where will Suzhou go in the future?" Don't you know? ”

The knife-like questioning stabbed everyone's heart, making their old faces flush and tremble.

"Tang Gongzi, we have no choice, who makes Zhao Xu and others strong, we have to compromise. It's just that we can keep a breath of vitality and fight for the people of Suzhou in the future......" a slightly younger businessman argued in a whisper.

"Hahaha!"

Tang Yi suddenly laughed, "It's really hard work, do I have to apologize to you next, I misunderstood you?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." The guy who spoke was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat.

"Hmph, what a lot of clever words, open your eyes and see, what is happening in the market in Suzhou? The wolf will not let the sheep go because it has become docile, but will eat it dry and wipe it clean, leaving nothing left. The backbone is not given by others, it is earned by oneself! You are the most famous gentry in Suzhou, how many Suzhou people support you, if you can straighten your chest and not be tempted by some interests, will you fall to the point where you are today? Open the door and steal, and sooner or later be eaten by wolves! ”

Tang Yi was really angry, from this war without gunpowder, he finally saw the nature of the Ming gentry through it, which made his teeth cold and his heart cold.

In the Han Dynasty, the scholars would shepherd sheep in the North Sea. will travel thousands of miles; In the Tang Dynasty, ten years of cold windows fought on the border of the sword and killed the Turks; In the Song Dynasty, although the scholars were weak, they went to the sea to die and were generous and calm.

These three dynasties. The scholars regard themselves as the masters of the country, and they love the country with their lives.

The Ming Dynasty is different, perhaps it is the cruelty and tyranny of the Zhu family's father and son, which makes the scholars feel cold, or maybe it is the tragic death of Fang Xiaoru and Yu Qian, telling the big guys that the loyal ministers have no good end, or maybe it is the cruel imperial examination that has worn out the edges and corners of the scholars.

A family of five, whether farming or business. It takes three generations, or even longer, to cultivate a scholar and enter the Shilin, and to accumulate one or two generations before it is possible to produce a person and a scholar.

Starting from the imperial examination, you must first go through the county examination, the government examination, and the third level of the hospital examination before you can obtain the fame of showing talent. Then you have to pass the township examination, the meeting examination, and the palace examination, a total of six major examinations. Every level is killed from the pile of dead, how many people have gray hair and hard work, and they barely get a fame.

Three calamities and nine tribulations, it is more difficult than learning scriptures from the west, and it is a scholar who comes out like this. How can an official position be regarded as a gift from the emperor? They will only think that this is the result of their own efforts, and will only thank their families for their support and the support of their mentors.

In a word, they just lack a sense of ownership!

For example, in the crisis just past, Zhao Xu was very powerful. He is powerful and wealthy, but no matter how powerful he is, can he exceed the sum of all the people present?

Obviously, if everyone present has a backbone, a responsibility, and can unite, Zhao Xu will not have a chance to start at all. But they didn't, not only did they not know how to protect the interests of Suzhou, but they even surrendered on their knees, acted for the tiger, and betrayed Suzhou in order to share a little poor bread crumbs!

From them, Tang Yi even saw that decades later, the same group of shameless scholars opened the city gates and introduced the robbers into the land of China, the mountains and rivers were shattered, and Shenzhou sank!

As soon as he thought of Jiashen's heavenly changes, Tang Yi became angry, scolded more and more fiercely, became more and more sad and angry, and his anger was accumulated in his chest, as if he was about to explode.

"Ahem!"

Wei Liangfu coughed twice, "Hongyuan." ”

"Ah, Master!"

Tang Yi came to his senses, and when he saw the monkey-like old faces of everyone present, he also felt that something was wrong, these people were hateful, but they couldn't do without cleaning up the mess.

Tang Yi suppressed his anger and bowed his hand to everyone, "I'm sorry everyone, I can't hold it in my stomach these days, and I can't hold it, please don't blame you." ”

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Pang Ce hurriedly said: "What Tang Gongzi said is all good words, and we are ashamed to reflect on ourselves, and we are ashamed and ashamed. ”

Wei Liangfu feigned anger and said: "Hongyuan, you also told the cause of the disease, it's time to prescribe medicine, after all, the big guy is not scolded." ”

Tang Yi hurriedly bowed down and said, "Actually, it is not difficult to solve the current dilemma at all. The pass is still on you. ”

"We, what can we do?" Pang Ce and the others looked at each other, confused, they had nothing but a bunch of debts and a lot of tickets, why did they turn things around?

Tang Yi smiled, "You may still be confused, can you follow me to a place, after everyone has seen it, everything will be understood." ”

"Okay, I just want to see Tang Gongzi's tricks."

Tang Yi took everyone, called Xu Wei and Wang Shimao, and came to Jiang Yuequan's dim sum shop together, far away, I saw that there were more crowds than before, men, women and children were holding coupons in their hands, and their eyes were staring at the small window.

After the collapse of food prices, the coupons related to food fell faster than anything else, almost like waste paper.

Many shops have closed down under the run, and Jiang Yuequan's dim sum shop is no exception.

Fortunately, he had the flour provided by Tang Yi in his hand, and he was forced to have no choice but to make dim sum all night and exchange it for the people. Not to mention, after five days of hurrying, the dim sum shop was maintained, although there were countless people who ran on it, but compared to those shops that went out of business, Jiang Yuequan was much better, but he didn't know when he was the leader.

was busy drinking saliva, and just when he saw Tang Yi coming with a group of people, Jiang Yuequan hurriedly ran over and fell to the ground.

"Tang Gongzi, you can count on it, otherwise the little one will really have no way to live."

"Get up, I'll give you a way to live."

Tang Yi walked to the shop with a smile and looked up, good guy, there are hundreds of people, how many tickets did Jiang Yuequan sell? How greedy!

Tang Yi glared at him fiercely, so frightened that Jiang Yuequan shrank his neck and didn't dare to come out.

Walking around the shop a few times, Tang Yi suddenly said loudly: "Folks, Boss Jiang discussed with me before, and sold seventy percent of the shares to Zaixia, and the tickets he issued were exchanged by himself, nothing else, there are three shops around, I bought them all, increased the output three times, and met the requirements of the big guy's exchange." ”

As he spoke, he slapped his face three times in a row, the door of the shop was opened, and Jiang Ji's signboard was hung together, and more than 20 young men appeared in front of the door wearing neat and neat shorts, which immediately made people's eyes shine.

Jiang Yuequanguang knew that the surrounding shops had changed hands, but he didn't expect that they would fall into Tang Yi's hands and become dim sum shops, which was a surprise.

"Boss Jiang, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and let everyone move and steam snacks!"

"Yes!"

At the sound of an order, the three shops acted together, and in the first half of the hour, the fragrant dim sum was steamed. The people who were waiting took the tickets and exchanged them one after another, and without any hesitation, they all redeemed them. However, according to the rules, it is necessary to give a seven-fold discount. Don't say seven folds, even if it's five folds, everyone can't ask for them.

Throughout the afternoon, more and more people exchanged for dim sum, and there were still a small number of people left, watching the sky dark, cooking smoke everywhere, and some people lined up for a day, their stomachs growling.

"Boss Jiang, will you pay it back tomorrow?"

Jiang Yuequan glanced at Tang Yi, Tang Yi smiled and said: "Redeem, of course, and exchange it after ten days, the discount will be eighty percent!" ”

Wow, it's 10% more than now!

Suddenly, I felt that the ticket in my hand was no longer hateful, and it became cute.

Since the coupon is not a blank slate, why are you in a hurry to redeem it?

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I feel that they are queuing up inexplicably, and the line in front of the dim sum shop disappears in an instant.

Jiang Yuequan was so tired that he collapsed, and when he watched the people disperse, he fell on his back and snorted loudly.

"It's really sensitive!"

Tang Yi smiled and asked the young man to carry him down, and then invited a group of gentry watching from the teahouse on the side, and in the cabinet room of the dim sum shop, everyone was full of emotion.

They witnessed the resurrection of a shop, and what made everyone even more unbelievable was that the tickets on waste paper were restored to function, and the people picked up the tickets again.

What is the biggest crisis for everyone, isn't it the panic run caused by the depreciation of tickets, if the tickets can regain their value, there will be losses, but there will be no way out. But how to recover, witnessing the situation of the dim sum shop, everyone seems to have understood, but it seems that there is a layer of window paper in front of them, and it is not clear.

"Hahaha, everyone, in fact, the tickets and the Jiaozi of the Song Dynasty, as well as the treasure banknotes of this dynasty, and the silver tickets of the Qian Village, are all things all the way. Why can a thin piece of paper be valuable? It is because there is a credit guarantee behind the piece of paper, just like Jiang Kee's dim sum shop, a century-old shop, honest management, authentic and delicious dim sum, everyone believes in him. And with the more and more coupons being issued, far beyond his ability to repay, and the price collapsed, the people no longer believed it, and naturally came to run. At this time, I invested in the dim sum shop and tripled the size of the shop, so that the people could believe that they could continue to redeem tickets. Confidence is back, and the coupon is worth it, do you think so? ”

Most of the people are business veterans, chewing Tang Yi's words repeatedly, the word credit is what they think about the most, yes, as long as there is credit, they can come back to life!

But they quickly shook their heads again, this time they followed Zhao Xu to raise prices, and their image was already ruined, no matter how they shouted, they would only attract more spit.

Yu Yongqi hugged his pale head, in great pain, "Alas, people have a face when they live, and the old man's face is over!" The other people were shocked to realize that their credit was so precious, and they couldn't help crying, gritting their teeth, and scolding Zhao Xu for harming people. (To be continued.) )
