Chapter 261: The Merchant's Refusal

That night, Cao Ang held a banquet and invited several wealthy businessmen in Xiaopei City to come to the palace for the banquet.

In this troubled world, a businessman who can be alone and make money like crazy requires not only an extremely intelligent mind, but also a delicate and delicate way to avoid making a big fuss.

Although there are two or three people in this group like Mi En, who relied on the family's money to start a family and collect money from the common people, more people still rely on their own skills.

It is precisely because these people are all human spirits, so Cao Ang's desire to exploit their money is tantamount to ascending to the sky.

Although Cao Ang invited these wealthy merchants, there were only two or three people who actually came that night, like Mi En, who were also huge riches like the common people before.

It is precisely because these people are the same as Mi En, so after seeing Cao Ang actually kill more than 200 members of Mi En's family during the day, and also retreat from the enemy and share the wealth and get the support of many people, they also fell into panic.

After all, if they don't tie Cao Ang well at this time, I'm afraid they will be next.

Except for these businessmen who had ghosts in their hearts, none of the other businessmen came, and they didn't give Cao Ang face at all.

Looking at this big banquet, there were only three rich businessmen, Cao Ang's heart was angry and angry, but there was still not much expression on the surface.

After all, the fact that these three wealthy businessmen can come is enough to mean that they have the self-knowledge to fund Cao Ang.

So for these people, Cao Ang naturally has a very courteous attitude, not only was he extremely polite to them at the banquet, but also chatted with them casually.

After three rounds of drinking, the eldest of the three wealthy merchants seemed to see Cao Ang's displeasure, and at this time he spoke quietly.

"Gongzi Cao, you should have invited more than just the three of us today, right?"

Although these three people were forced by Cao Ang's obscenity, they came to the banquet, but they are not stupid, there are many tables on the big banquet right now, but the three of them are free to come, naturally no one else came.

After hearing such an inquiry, Cao Ang did not hide anything, and immediately nodded.

"As the old saying goes, those who know the times are Junjie, since these people don't know the times, my son will follow them."

Cao Ang knew that these three people had come to him now, and promised to share the money and work for him, because he was afraid of himself.

Once they show half of their weakness, these people will definitely not be inferior because of this, and the promised labor and army money will definitely not be distributed at that time.

It is precisely because of this that although Cao Ang is not a cruel and angry person, his face also shows a bit of coldness at this time.

After hearing such words, the three businessmen also nodded their heads at this time, and after glancing at each other, they spoke to Cao Ang.

"Gongzi Cao, these people are under the protection of the Han family to exploit the people and make profits, compared to Mi En, Gongzi also invited them to watch Mi En's execution during the day, but today they avoid Gongzi, this is not in the eyes of Gongzi!"

In this small pei city, it is like a shrunken world.

Just as the princes of all walks of life have annexed each other, their own strength will be stronger, and the words of the three merchants in front of them are also full of provocation at this time, which may cause conflicts between Cao Ang and other merchants.

After all, we are all merchants, and there are still many conflicts between them, and it would be great for them to take this opportunity to get rid of other merchants.

After hearing such words, Cao Ang still didn't understand what these merchants meant, and his heart also fell into hesitation.

These businessmen don't give themselves face so much, why don't they take this opportunity to wipe them all out and put them in order?

It's just that just after Cao Ang had such an idea, he immediately shook his head, knowing that such a method might not work.

In this troubled world, there are countless displaced people, and many people are forced to fall into the grass, and those wealthy businessmen with huge sums of money are the targets of these thieves.

It is also because of this that there are also many family guards around these wealthy businessmen, not to mention that this Mi En alone has four or five hundred family members in the mansion.

These people are all armed with elite crossbows, and if it weren't for the crossbowmen who could defend and shoot arrows at the same time, it might be extremely difficult to break through this group of elite crossbowmen.

At this time, these merchants also rejected Cao Ang's invitation to the banquet, which is enough to see that perhaps these merchants have most likely united.

At this time, if he targets them again, once the conflict between the two sides breaks out again, Cao Ang's hard-won advantage in Xiaopei will be gone.

Even if you want to rectify these businessmen, you need to do such a thing after Cao Ang stabilizes Xiaopei's situation.

Now, however, is not the time.

After hearing the words of the rich merchant, Cao Ang immediately shook his head.

"Your Excellency should be Mr. Wang, who runs a silk business in the south of the city, right? It is rare for Mr. Wang to help me so much, and Cao Zixuan is grateful. As for the other merchants who are not coming to the banquet at the moment, or have something inconvenient to come, or have other hidden reasons, wouldn't it be too hasty to generalize? ”

Cao Ang did not continue with the words of the rich businessman, but explained to those rich businessmen who were not present, directly indicating that these people may have been delayed because of something, so they did not come.

Despite this, Cao Ang's words were not full, and once he planned to target these merchants in the future, he could use this as an excuse at any time!

These three businessmen are such smart people, after hearing Cao Ang's words, they also understood at this time that Cao Ang might not be like he was in trouble at this time, although he felt a chill in his heart, but in the end he didn't say much else.

The memories of an invitation to the merchants to prepare for their labor were dissolved.

And because Cao Ang rejected the proposal of the three merchants to punish the other merchants, although the three merchants promised to help Cao Ang's labor army, it is also impossible to say how much money they are willing to give out to work in the army.

After the three merchants left, Cao Ang's gaze immediately became solemn.

If it was in his Xu Capital right now, I'm afraid he would have already led his troops to arrest all those merchants at this time!

"Humph! These businessmen are trying to exploit the people, and now the world is chaotic, but they still want to be alone, and after the Xiaopei war is calmed down, this son will definitely take them well! ”

Such words are not just what he Cao Ang said.

Originally, he was now poor and white, and he urgently needed money to support him, so he disdained to be his father's smear lieutenant, so he naturally exploited these businessmen!
