For six or seven days, the vitality beef balls and vitality balls have been fully prepared, but there is still no news of the guild's deciding surname.

In the backyard, Lin Dong was trying to use the Sky Realm to lift the green veil on Yun Lan's face, but countless times in vain, when he was a little discouraged, far away, Ma Chun came running quickly.

"Shopkeeper, something is wrong."

Panting, Ma Chun's sweat beads were ticking down, and the whole person was as if someone had poured a basin of hot water on his head, soaking soda.

Lin Dong stopped and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"The guild has been canceled." Ma Chun's chest rose and fell sharply.

"Will the guild be canceled? That's good news. Lin Dong was stunned, and then he was happy, the matter of a guild has been decided, and the big households who run towards Fenglin Restaurant all day long should also start to return. Second, Lin Dong has no interest in using the guild to suppress competitors, and he also doesn't want the development of the inn to be stumped by the guild.

Ma Chun smiled bitterly, gasped, and said helplessly: "Shopkeeper, I haven't finished my words yet." The guild was canceled, but a chamber of commerce came. ”

"Chamber of Commerce?" Lin Dong frowned and said, "What the hell is going on?" ”

"It is said that yesterday morning, the Imperial Emperor suddenly proposed in the court that the merchants of each county could form their own guilds, and there were three drawbacks. The first is that the merchants of each prefecture and county are unable to participate in the deliberations often for a month or two because of the journey, which is not only unfair to them, but also means that the entire guild is in the hands of the merchants of the county. The second is the difference in freight rates in different places, if the goods are uniformly organized to be transported to other counties, the pricing is easy to cause disputes. If it is too high, it will affect the sales, and the low freight is not satisfied. If the price is low, the high shipping cost will be a loss or a small profit, and it will definitely not agree. ”

After a pause, Ma Chun continued: "The third is that the prices are different in various places, in the county seat, a log can be sold for hundreds of yuan, but in the county seat, it only needs a few tens of yuan, and even a dozen yuan near the mountain can be bought. If the price of goods in the whole county is uniform, the fluctuation is too small, and the merchants in the county town may not be able to sell it, and the merchants in the county will lose money. If the fluctuation is too large, there is no need for this guild to exist, and it will not be able to play the biggest role in suppressing large merchants to deliberately lower prices or raise prices. ”

Lin Dong was stunned and said, "What about the Chamber of Commerce?" ”

"God knows how." Ma Chun said helplessly: "It seems to be the result of the discussion of all the ministers of the imperial court, saying that the guild with the county as a whole was abolished and replaced with a chamber of commerce with the city as a whole." ”

"The city as a whole?" Lin Dong was surprised: "Could it be that all the industries are combined, one county, and all the businessmen form a chamber of commerce?" ”

Ma Chun was stunned, and then shook his head and said: "The news is vague, I don't know if this is the meaning, it is said that this chamber of commerce can improve these three drawbacks." ”

Lin Dong pondered for a moment and asked, "Has the Chamber of Commerce confirmed it?" ”

Ma Chun shook his head: "I heard that there is a debate about whether the Chamber of Commerce can be allowed to find merchants to collect a sum of money, if it is not collected, the Chamber of Commerce will not be able to do business with foreign relations, and there are no salaries for personnel." But if you collect it, how much you have to collect in a year is appropriate, it seems that the household department has already asked someone to calculate. ”

Lin Dongtou is as big as an ox, it has been more than 20 days, and if it drags on, with the strength of Fenglin Restaurant, he will take the opportunity to come up with a few more tricks, which is likely to make most diners accustomed to running to Fenglin Restaurant all day long.

More than twenty days, two months! Lin Dong's heart tightened, and asked, "Is there any movement in Fenglin Restaurant?" ”

Ma Chun shook his head: "No, everyone in Fenglin Restaurant is busy up and down now, if you want to talk about movement, you can only recruit guys, and you can recruit twenty people in one breath." ”

Lin Dong suddenly felt that Fenglin Restaurant regarded this guild chamber of commerce as a big conspiracy to suppress all restaurants in the Han Kingdom.

Otherwise, the things that were about to settle suddenly started again. Such a good opportunity, if you change it to yourself, even if you can't think of any tricks, you should take the opportunity to increase the price reduction, so that there will be more or less one or two big restaurants that are afraid that the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce will drag on and choose to close down.

Fenglin Restaurant, it's too calm, there must be other plans.

Although it is impossible for Fenglin Restaurant to dominate the movements of the imperial court no matter how rich it is, it should not be difficult to collect relevant news and then analyze the approximate outcome.

This chamber of commerce is not only related to the interests of businessmen, but also to the interests of the court officials, if these court officials pinch each other in order to divide more interests, it is likely to drag on for a long time.

If this is the case, it is normal for Fenglin Restaurant to be silent.

First of all, the major restaurants mistakenly thought that this matter would be over soon, and waited and waited, and the diners almost all went to Fenglin Restaurant. If you try to pull people back, you will have to spend a lot of money or even reduce the price to lose money. When the time comes, Fenglin Restaurant only needs to find a way to force the major restaurants to keep fighting, and the longer the business of the Chamber of Commerce drags on, the more big restaurants will be dragged down in the end.

"Fenglin Restaurant, ruthless enough!" Lin Dong gritted his teeth, this news is really going to drag on for two months, if Lin Ji Inn doesn't fight back, it will ensure that there are no diners left. If you use a price cut to fight back, it will also fall into the calculation of Fenglin Restaurant.

When the dust settles on the affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, even if Lin Ji Inn makes vitality beef balls and vitality balls, and Fenglin Restaurant has some gimmicks, after the big families forget about the inn, they can also offset most of the attraction.

"Shopkeeper, what's wrong?" Ma Chun asked.

Lin Dong said without hesitation: "How much business is there on the second floor of the inn now?" ”

"More than fifty tables a day." Ma Chun said helplessly.

"Can't wait!" Lin Dong thought about it for a while, and immediately decided: "Prepare the car, I'll go to the Li Mansion." You are responsible for organizing people to write invitations by hand and send them to all the big families in the north of the city. In addition, inform Qiao Tianhao and ask him to bring someone to wait for me at the gate of Dongcheng. ”

"Write an invitation?" Ma Chun was stunned and said, "Didn't you distribute leaflets to all the big households in the city?" ”

Lin Dong said loudly: "The flyer is a day or two late, let's get the north of the city first." Remember to stagger the time on the invitation, all those with the invitation, a table of one or two silver wine and food, plus two plates of vitality beef balls, and a stewed soft-shelled turtle with maple leaves per person. It's all free! ”

"All for free?" Ma Chun repeated in shock: "All free? ”

Lin Dong nodded heavily: "And it's free for three days." ”

"Oh my God! How much silver do you have to lose? Ma Chun was in a hurry, if calculated based on the price of the inn's wine and food, it was equivalent to more than ten taels of silver for a table. After three days, it is likely to exceed 10,000 taels.

"About a thousand taels, the cost of vitality beef balls and stewed soft-shelled turtle with maple leaves is not high." Lin Dong shook his head and said.

Ma Chun breathed a sigh of relief, although there were a lot of thousand taels, it had not yet reached the level of appalling. However...... "Shopkeeper, we are free, and other restaurants may not be able to sit still, and I am afraid that they will also reduce the price." ”

"Come down! I'm just going to get them to follow suit. Lin Dong's eyes became fierce, as usual, no matter which price reduction is tantamount to the fuse that causes the war of major restaurants, and when the time comes, no one will be able to bargain.

Now it is different, the more chaotic it is, the easier it is to destroy the plan of Fenglin Restaurant. Otherwise, the vitality beef balls and vitality balls alone will not be fresh for two months. When the time comes, there is news from the Chamber of Commerce, and people have to run to Fenglin Restaurant.

It's better to muddy the water, the restaurants should be closed, and they should come up with the ability to fight back, so that the news of the Chamber of Commerce can be diluted to some extent. Whether other restaurants can last for two months, Lin Dong is not clear, as long as the plan of Fenglin Restaurant is disrupted, and the big households are dizzy by the price reduction on the street, they will go to this one today and that one tomorrow, and they are not completely accustomed to the atmosphere of Fenglin Restaurant. When the news of the Chamber of Commerce came out, Lin Ji Inn had the opportunity to rely on other means to pull people over.

"Shopkeeper, do you really want to do this?" Ma Chun said with a bitter face: "In this case, I'm afraid the inn won't be profitable for a long time, and it may even lose money." ”

Lin Dong shook his head: "It shouldn't take long, once Fenglin Restaurant can't help but join the ranks of desperate price reductions, most of the big restaurants in Autumn Wind City will have to close within a month or two." When the time comes, if there are many diners and few restaurants, it will not be too difficult to mention. ”

Ma Chun wanted to speak and stopped, but Lin Dong waved his hand and said categorically: "Do what I say!" ”

"I'll arrange this?" Ma Chun gritted his teeth, waited until Lin Dong nodded, turned around and ran.

Lin Dong looked at Yun Lan, who was sitting quietly in front of the stone table, and said with a wry smile: "It seems that there is no way to practice tricks today." ”

Yun Lan shook her head lightly and said leisurely: "If you can always maintain the momentum of discussing business with Ma Chun just now when you are facing the enemy, it will be of great benefit to meet an opponent of comparable strength." ”

"I was just imposing?" Lin Dong was stunned.

"Hmm!" Yun Lan explained, "Especially when you make a decision. ”

"Look for it when you get back."

Lin Dong smacked his lips and walked to the front yard with a smile.

Outside the lobby, a carriage was already parked at the door, and after receiving the whip handed over by the guy, Lin Dong jumped on the body and rushed to the city with a whip.

When he arrived at the Li Mansion, it was close to noon, but fortunately, Li Jiancheng had already returned from the mansion. didn't waste too much time, Lin Dong told the matter again, and the two immediately went out and rushed to the east of the city non-stop.

Outside the city gate, Qiao Tianhao had been waiting for a long time with nine men and two carriages.

Seeing Lin Dong stop his horse, Qiao Tianhao hurriedly stepped forward, completely ignored Li Jiancheng on the side, and flattered: "Shopkeeper, didn't you say that it will take a while?" Why did you leave today? Fortunately, I was afraid of an emergency at the beginning, so I have to pay close attention to it these days, otherwise, they will definitely not meet the standard of the shopkeeper. ”

"Alright, take the people and set off immediately." Lin Dong glared.

Qiao Tianhao nodded hurriedly, beckoned the guys to get into the car, and then followed Lin Dong's carriage, all the way towards Junling Academy, which was a few miles away.

Arriving at the college, Li Jiancheng revealed his identity. The dignified Autumn Wind Mansion Tongzhi came, and the guards dared to slack off, so they immediately divided into two groups, one group went to inform the dean, and the other group led everyone into the academy.

All the way to the inside, on the martial arts arena, students fighting against each other can be seen everywhere, obviously they are all students studying martial arts.

Arriving at the innermost courtyard of the college, everyone stopped, and outside the courtyard gate, an old man over sixty years old came slowly.
