After a heavy rain, the weather that had just warmed up became cooler again, Liu Wenbin, the first assistant of the cabinet, walked in the Wenyuan Pavilion in a robe, since the emperor was attacked, there was nothing that could make him happy, first Qingliu took the lead in writing to impeach Jia Jue, and then many civil officials also began to follow the trend, and there was a tendency to provoke civil and military disputes.

The most headache for him is not the officialdom, after all, these are still under his control, these days a business war broke out in Shenjing City, the "anti-Jia Alliance" led by Wu Guifei's mother's Wu family business and the Jia family Chamber of Commerce launched a price war, both sides have killed each other, want to put each other to death, although the people enjoy the benefits, but disrupt the entire market, make other businesses complain, do not follow the price reduction will not have any business, they can not afford to pay for the price reduction.

As for waiting, hehe, those ordinary people have already taken this opportunity to start hoarding all kinds of items, and they will definitely not be able to use up for a year and a half, this is waiting for death.

The Shuntian Mansion, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and even the Household Department have all received complaints, and it is those merchants who have suffered unjustified disasters that have asked the court to intervene and end this price war, and they really can't afford to pay any more.

"Shousuke, this is the third store in the West Market to close down today, and the East Market is even more chaotic, basically all the grocery stores on the diagonal street are closed, and those vendors are also forced to go out of the city to make a living."

Liu Wenbin came back to his senses: "What did the Wu family say?"

The head of the household department hesitated for a moment, and replied, "Wu Guozhang did not agree to the conditions proposed by the Jia family, and I heard that they borrowed 800,000 taels of silver from several ticket numbers in Jiangnan to cope with the run on merchants and ordinary people with the properties of the eastern and western cities and the granges outside the city as collateral."

Liu Wenbin frowned, if the price war affects small and medium-sized merchants and the people, then the run caused by the business war between the two parties is the most deadly.

Greed drives people crazy, and the greedy will end up destitute.

Since Wu Tianyou and others rejected their kindness, the emperor could also blame him when he asked afterwards.

"Shoufu, we can't let them continue to make trouble like this, this will force more small and medium-sized merchants to close their doors, and in the end, the Wu family and several other businesses will also be defeated by the Jia Family Chamber of Commerce, not to mention those merchants who have business dealings with these chambers of commerce, even those ordinary people who deposit money in the Wu family's ticket number are not easy to deal with. When the time comes, if someone dies, it will be difficult to do."

As Jia Lan's grandfather, he knows the strength of the Jia Family Chamber of Commerce better than others, last year Jia Lan's mother and son received nearly 10,000 taels of dividends from the Chamber of Commerce, which is only two percent of the dividends that the Jia Family Chamber of Commerce gave to the second room of the Rong Mansion, and the second room of the Rong Mansion only accounted for half of the shares in the Chamber of Commerce, that is to say, the Jia Family Chamber of Commerce took out one million taels of dividends last year, although there are reasons for the war, but it shows the strength of the Jia Family Chamber of Commerce.

"What do you say? It's hard to let the Jia family bow their heads."

One sentence choked Li Shouzhong and couldn't go on, and stood there silent.

At this moment, Chen Zurong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, hurriedly walked in: "Shoufu, Li Nan sent a six-hundred-mile rush from Tianjin." As he spoke, he handed over the fold in his hand.

Liu Wenbin immediately took the excerpt and looked at it, and his face suddenly became solemn.

Li Shouzhong: "Shoufu?"

Liu Wenbin: "The king of the Joseon county is already on his way to Beijing, and those scholars and officials have also written down the crimes committed by the Li family over the years." Speaking of this, he paused, sighed, and said, "The king of Joseon County left a son in Ganghwa Island, and all the seals were left there, including those officials."

After speaking, he handed the fold to Li Shouzhong, and said to Chen Zurong, "Quick, invite the old man and them here immediately!"

..............

As soon as Baochai and Tanchun and the people walked into Mengyunxuan, they all stopped, and a fierce sound of the piano came out of Daiyu's room, the sound of the piano was fierce like the sound of soldiers singing in unison, as if there were tens of millions of people shouting, tens of millions of war horses neighing, and everyone was stunned by the murderous aura emitted by the sound of the piano, and stood in the courtyard in a daze.

Suddenly, the strings snapped, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

Baochai's eyebrows moved.

Tanchun sighed softly and muttered, "Ambush on All Sides is very difficult to play, I didn't expect Sister Lin to play it so well, but it's a pity that the string broke at the last moment."

Baochai smiled and said, "If you lose your horse, you don't know if it's a blessing."

As soon as the words fell, Jia Cong broke in like a gust of wind and shouted, "Sister Lin! Sister Lin! Brother Yun got the Wu family's deed.....

.............

The ticket number of Wujia in the West Market, more than a dozen big cars lined up outside the door.

Xue Pan sat on a big white horse, his face full of arrogance.

The servants of the Xue family rode around him, and there was a group of Jia family's personal soldiers wearing armor behind him.

At this time, many pedestrians stopped and crowded to the side of the street to watch the excitement.

The shopkeeper of the ticket number came to the door with the little servant, and was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly stepped forward: "Uncle Xue, what did we do inappropriately, even if you say it, you can't bring so many people to block the door."

Xue Pan: "I have something urgent, please report it."

The shopkeeper: "Uncle Xue, it's not a little presumptuous, our two families have no friendship, and the other has no business dealings, please tell me if you have something, our master is busy."

With a "snap", Xue Pan slapped the shopkeeper in the face!

The shopkeeper stumbled, fell to the ground, and screamed, "Y-Why are you beating someone?!"

Xue Pan shouted, "Your Uncle Xue will beat you blind brute! A minion, anything, dares to take Qiao in front of your Uncle Xue, even if your master comes, he has to give your Uncle Xue a hand!" After saying that, he pulled out a wad of money orders from his sleeve and threw them in his face.

The onlookers crowded over excitedly.

The shopkeeper saw that there were twenty or thirty bills of exchange under his feet, and his heart was tight, and he bent down to pick up one to check, and suddenly his feet were weak, and he knelt on the ground with a plop, and quickly picked up all the bills of exchange on the ground, and carefully checked them one by one, and suddenly his face turned pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans came out of his forehead.

Xue Pan was impatient and said loudly: "This money, will the Wu family's ticket number be redeemed or not?!"

"Who's making a fuss here?" Wu Tianyu walked out surrounded by a group of people.

The shopkeeper crawled and sent those bills of exchange to Wu Tianyou.

Wu Tianyou waved his hand lightly, sneered and said, "Give it to him."

The shopkeeper smuttered for a moment and replied, "Master, all of them are 10,000 taels of bills of exchange, and there are twenty or thirty bills of exchange."

Wu Tianyou's face suddenly became gloomy, and he looked at Xue Pan, who was still sitting on the horse, and then said, "Check carefully, if it is really a bill of exchange with our Wu family's ticket number, we will immediately cash it in full to others."

Swallowing his saliva, he carefully checked the bill of exchange, and the shopkeeper looked up and said to Wu Tianyou: "Old, master, there are a total of twenty-three bills of exchange, each of which is 10,000 taels, and it is sure to be our bill." Speaking of this, he reminded in a low voice: "Master, we only have less than 400,000 taels of silver left."

Wu Tianyu's gaze swept across the street, and only then burst out a few words from between his teeth: "Paid in full!" After speaking, he stepped forward and said, "It takes time to count the silver, please wait here for Uncle Xue."

Xue Pan nodded on the horse, and stepped off the horse on the dismounting stone.

Several servants immediately moved chairs and coffee tables from the opposite restaurant, and the restaurant owner personally held a bowl of good tea and served it.

Soon a quarter of an hour passed, and a team of Wu family servants walked in front of Xue Pan with the first box and stopped.

The shopkeeper lifted the lid of the box, and an ingot of silver glittered in the sun!

"This box is 1,000 taels of silver, please check it by Uncle Xue."

Xue Pan put down the tea bowl, leaned back on the chair, dusted off the non-existent dust on his body, and then waved his hand: "No need, don't talk about the credit of the Wu family's ticket number, just rush at Wu Guifei Niangniang, this face still has to be given."

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then gave Xue Pan a deep sigh: "Thank you, Uncle Xue!" He turned his head and said to the little guys, "Hurry up, don't miss Uncle Xue's important matter."

A group of Wu family servants carried boxes one by one towards the carriage, and soon, all the big carts were piled high.

Those Wu family servants are still carrying boxes.

After a while, the street was also full of boxes.

The shopkeeper couldn't help it, and stepped forward and asked, "Uncle Xue?"

Xue Pan: "Hmm."

"These chests?"

"Oh, there's no hurry."

Xue Pan waved his hand, a personal soldier turned over and dismounted, took out a box from the saddle bag and walked over, seeing this scene, the shopkeeper was stunned at first, and then asked stubbornly, "Uncle Xue, this is .....?"

Xue Pan: "Open."

The soldier opened the box, took out a deed from it, and unfolded it for the shopkeeper to see.....

The shopkeeper's face immediately turned ugly, and he turned his head to Xue Pan and his face sank: "I don't know where Uncle Xue got this deed, but please don't do it to the end, it's not good for anyone!"

Xue Pan: "Yo ho! Do you dare to preach in front of Lao Tzu? Who is your Uncle Xue? The first emperor personally sealed the military cavalry captain from the sixth grade, what are you! Invite Wu Guozhang out, I have to ask, is this the rule of the Wu family?"

The shopkeeper's shame was indignant: "Good! I'll go and ask you for a master." As he spoke, he turned around and ran towards the ticket number.

The onlookers were even more excited, scrambling to watch.

There was a rush of footsteps, Wu Tianyou hurriedly walked out, and at a glance he saw the deed in the hands of the pro-soldiers, his heart fluttered, he walked to the pro-soldiers, and arched his hand: "Can you show me."

The soldiers looked at Xue Pan, Xue Pan didn't speak, just nodded.

Wu Tianyou snatched the book deed and looked at it urgently, and his face began to change.

Xue Pan took the deed and said, "The Xue family is in breach of contract, as long as Wu Guozhang repays 700,000 taels of silver now."

Wu Tianyou came back to his senses, first glanced at the team of Jia family soldiers, then stared at Xue Pan, and suddenly burst out laughing, laughing and saying, "Good means.... Good means! The Jia family should have paid a lot of price! The heart is sinister! Tell me, in addition to going to Ningrong Street to plead guilty and compensate for the loss, how can the Jia family let the Wu family go?!"

Xue Pan looked at the sky for a while, and then said, "Lao Tzu is not happy now, you kneel down and kowtow, I can't say that Lao Tzu will tell you as soon as he is happy."

Wu Tianyou: "You, you deceive people too much!"

Speaking of this, Wu Tianyou couldn't lift it in one breath, so he fainted.

The shopkeeper hurriedly hugged Wu Tianyu and cried and shouted, "Master..... Wake up! Master..... What's the matter with you....." Turning his head and shouting at the little guy, "Quick! Go get a doctor!"

Those merchants who had allied with the Wu family showed strange eyes, obviously considering their own retreat.

............

Cabinet duty inside the room.

Chen Ruiwen read the recital, thought about it for a while, and said, "The impact is not great, the Li clan has lost the support of the people, as long as the Jurchens are defeated, North Korea can be quickly pacified."

Liu Wenbin nodded silently.

Niu Jizong: "When will Your Majesty return to Beijing?"

Liu Wenbin looked out the window and saw that there was no one, so he whispered, "I'm already on the way back to Beijing, and I can arrive tomorrow."

Niu Jizong was secretly surprised: "So fast? You're fine!"

Liu Wenbin didn't answer, just nodded.

Li Shouzhong spoke, "The household department has prepared the food for three months of the 60,000 army, and the first batch of military grain will be shipped to Liaodong tomorrow morning."

Niu Jizong smiled and said, "You have to hurry up, Uncle Zhongwu said, he has to come back in a hurry to get married."

Chen Ruiwen smiled slightly: "It's time to get married, and the entire Jia family can control him."

Liu Wenbin and Li Shouzhong laughed at each other.

At this moment, Zhang Jiacheng walked in quickly and whispered a few words in Liu Wenbin's ear.

Liu Wenbin's face changed, and he turned to look at Li Shouzhong and said, "Li Shangshu, I bother you to accompany me to Jia's house."

.............

There were a long number of people kneeling on Ningrong Street, and there were large boxes in front of the crowd, and the lids of the boxes were all lifted, and an ingot of gold sparkled in the sun, which was eye-catching!

Kneeling in front is Wu Tianyou's eldest son Wu Zonghan, Wu Guifei's own brother, they have been kneeling for most of the hour, and there is no news from the Jia family, so they can only kneel outside the door and wait.

The small door next to the gate on the left side of Rongguo Mansion opened, and Liu Wenbin and Li Shouzhong walked out.

The vigorous "anti-Jia alliance" completely failed, and it was lost in the hands of a little girl who had just passed her fourteenth birthday, if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't believe anyone, the Jia family gave a solution, no money, no industry, as long as each family has thirty percent of the shares, the Jia family will not interfere in their trading, but the Jia family has the right of first refusal to buy the goods of each family, and after five years, if necessary, they can redeem it with cash.

Liu Wenbin's eyes looked at Wu Tianyu's eldest son with complicated eyes, the Wu family received a special punishment, the Wu family must follow the army to North Korea, during which the Jia family will guarantee his personal safety, but will not receive any special care, and there will be no military merits to fall on him, the day of the triumph of the army is when he regains his freedom, to put it bluntly, he is a hostage.

I don't know if it was to disgust Concubine Wu, the Jia family decided to give fifty percent of the Wu family's shares to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, and they just questioned it, but they were sentenced by Lin Ruhai's son-in-law, "What's the matter with the punishment of the Marquis of Zhongwu?" I can't talk anymore, the meaning is very clear, Jia Jue can be punished for the royal family, but the Wu family can't stand a little grievance? !

This is a strong little girl, she is adding to the emperor's blockage, and she is making trouble for the cabinet, why can Wu Guifei, the daughter of a businessman, be on an equal footing with Concubine Yuan, who was born in a wealthy family, is not because she is favored. After the emperor returns, he must ask himself and others for the reason, and it is not easy to do it.

Before going out, Jia Yu also said one thing, from now on, except for food, all shops will not sell goods to Zuodu Yushi Meisheng and others, they spread rumors and slander the Jia family, making the Jia family feel uncomfortable, then they will be even more uncomfortable, and they can't buy a single leaf.

After this incident, if you want to find trouble with the Jia family, you have to weigh it carefully, unless you can collapse the Jia family as soon as you make a move, no one will dare to come forward.
