Chapter 233: Night Banquet

"Shhh Zhao Yunyan pulled the boss of the party. "People come and go, but don't hide it!"

"And in my opinion, what a noble man the prince is, why bother to deceive us with his reputation?"

"When you go to sea to do business, there must be a real thing."

Zhao Yunyan's eyes were serious.

“…… Boss Zhao trusts His Royal Highness King Wu so much. Boss Fang teased. Your family runs a rice shop, His Royal Highness King Wu should have taken a lot of money a few days ago, right? ”

"If His Royal Highness comes again, won't your Zhao family rice shop be bankrupt and removed?"

"......" Zhao Yunyan's eyes darkened. What Boss Fang said is actually not bad. Previously, "investing" rice grain and "doing business" with His Royal Highness King Wu as a shareholder did make their Zhao family's rice shop hurt.

Other merchants hoarded grain, but when they saw that the price of rice was about to rise, they intended to hoard Juqi and buy low and sell high. Although they have stocked up on some food, the family mainly relies on other businesses. For example, the Ma family, a salt merchant who was copied and sent to hoard grain, suffered heavy losses, but it did not hurt the roots.

But their Zhao family is different. The Zhao family's main business is the rice shop business, and the shortage of rice in the grain depot will inevitably affect the overall business operation of the Zhao family's rice shop. The rice shop has insufficient grain storage, how can it open its doors to do business?

“…… Why didn't Boss Zhao go to the prince and say? Seeing Zhao Yunyan's gloomy face, Boss Fang felt that he was teasing a little too much. Since the prince still pulled a tiger skin in the shipping business, it means that he doesn't want to make things too stiff. ”

"After all, he is still a young prince, how can His Majesty in the capital not care about it?"

"As long as you go to Shen Yuan and cry and beg, I think you will return your rice and grain. After all, your family is different from ours, so you can't really hurt your family, right? ”

"No need...... Zhao Yunyan looked up at Boss Fang, but still shook his head. The so-called not suffering from widowhood but suffering from inequality, if he alone wants back food, what will other peers think of him?

must be rejected by himself, where will he care about what kind of rice merchant he is?

When a businessman does business, the most important thing is his connections. If you don't have connections, even if you want to get back the grain, your rice shop will not be able to do it for a long time under the rejection of many Suzhou businessmen.

Moreover, Zhao Yunyan also has unknown ambitions in his heart...... That His Royal Highness made out the glass and auctions, and made a profit of tens of millions just by relying on the Shen family to sell the glass, how could he Zhao Yunyan not know?

How could such a person be so short-sighted that he gave up his integrity, as long as he had tens of thousands of stones of grain and grass...... The dignified prince, if you want to raise food for disaster relief, what is the way?

Although the rest of the people didn't believe it, he, Zhao Yunyan, believed that the "shipping business" mentioned by Wu Wangye was true.

And if it's true, with just tens of thousands of stone grains, it's worth taking this big ship of the palace!

This is a big gamble, and if it is successful, his Zhao family will soar from then on.

Defeat is just a matter of starting all over again.

For the prince who made the glass and auctioned, he Zhao Yunyan had confidence.

"Hey, isn't that Mr. Chaxuan? How did he come here? Boss Fang interrupted Zhao Yunyan's thinking, Zhao Yunyan turned his head to look, and saw several Confucian fish with high crowns at the door penetrating inside, and the leader was indifferent, and it was Su Song's extremely famous celebrity Gao Qi.

I saw Gao Qi staring intently, leading a group of Confucian scholars and going straight up the stairs.

"Did Mr. Gao even come to the banquet?" Zhao Yunyan was also surprised. Gao Qi is indifferent to fame and fortune, does not admire glory, and ordinary people can't invite him. Even the position of household servant given by His Majesty was not accepted.

Would he have come to this feast?

"With Mr. Chaxuan here, there will be a good show tonight." Boss Fang touched his chin with a heck.

"Mr. Cha Xuan is upright, if Lord Wu still wants to empty the gloves of the white wolf, he will definitely be guilty of Yan Zhizhi."

"Besides, he brought in so many readers. With these scholars here, even if he is a prince, he will not dare to come nonsense. ”

"If you annoy these readers, you will be stigmatized in the annals of history!"

Zhao Yunyan didn't say anything, only quietly raised his head and looked at the guests upstairs from the patio. I saw that with Gao Qi going upstairs, many people got up to greet Gao Qi: the prefect Wei Guan, the county commander Zhang Cai of Wu County, and the commander of Suzhou Wei Yang Lu...... There are big names and surnames in Suzhou City, and almost all of them have arrived.

"Shhh...... With such a big banquet, does His Royal Highness King Wu want to make any big moves......" Zhao Yunyan thought to himself.

As the night deepened, the atmosphere in the three-story restaurant gradually became noisy. Zhao Yunyan was listening to Boss Fang's complaints, and a high-pitched eunuch voice suddenly drew his attention back:

"His Royal Highness King Wu has arrived!"

People didn't dare to slack off, and they all stood up, only to see Zhu Su, the king of Wu, wearing a prince's python robe, surrounded by armor, and appeared at the gate with a smile on his face.

"See His Royal Highness King Wu......"

Everyone bowed down to Zhu Su and saluted, and His Royal Highness King Wu, who was still small, had a faint smile on his face. Raising the sleeves of his robe, he said, "You don't have to be polite. ”

"Tonight is the night of the New Year's Eve, and this king congratulates you in advance on the new year."

"Thank you, Your Highness!"

"Congratulations to Your Highness on the New Year!"

"The grass people have paid New Year's greetings to His Highness!" ……

Remembering that tonight is New Year's Eve, the faces of a group of people suddenly felt a little more joyful. Messily replied to Zhu Su. Zhu Su nodded, walked through the crowd on the first floor, and stepped up the stairs.

This building is said to be a restaurant, but the internal structure is more like a large theater, except for the hall on the first floor, the second and third floors are all surrounded by a patio. On the third floor, there is only one main seat in the middle today, and those who occupy the main seat can overlook the whole situation and can also be seen by the whole building.

Zhu Su went straight up to the third floor, and stopped in front of the main seat on the third floor.

"Sit down, everyone, I suddenly summoned you here tonight, because I think that after this king arrived in Suzhou, he has not yet rejoiced with you." The building also adopts an echo structure, and the volume emitted by Zhu Su is not large, but it is clear to everyone.

"On New Year's Eve tonight, I will have a feast with you. This king is alone here, and it is indeed lonely during this festive season. I will bother you all and accompany this king to be lively! ”

"Don't dare to call labor, don't dare to call labor, thank Your Highness for the banquet......" It turned out that we were to accompany him to be lively, and there was a voice of gratitude at the bottom. As for how many people are slandered in their hearts, it is unknown.

"Okay, with the sages of Suzhou Mansion as companions, this king doesn't feel lonely."

"Today's festival, we will wait and not talk about business, regardless of dignity and humility, and drink and sing!"

"Come, play music for this king!"

With Zhu Su's order, the music class, which had been in place for some time, directly began to play and sing. The atmosphere was immediately joyful, and then many runners rushed out and delivered the delicacies to everyone's tables.

The sentence "don't talk about business, no matter whether you are respectful or humble", suddenly let go of the hearts of all the worried businessmen. After all of them thanked Zhu Su at the top, seeing that Zhu Su had already begun to tear the chicken legs in front of them, they also picked up their chopsticks and concentrated on enjoying the delicacies in front of them.

"This highness, you really just want to have a banquet?" Zhao Yunyan couldn't believe it!

If there is something at home, let's change a chapter first. Tomorrow morning, I will make up for it.

I'm really sorry! Pine cone kowtow!
