"Killing chickens and making an example of monkeys?" The butler was a little stunned, "What does Lang Jun mean that they are going to do something to these merchants?" ”

"Yes, I'm afraid I will choose one or two big merchant Jia families, and then directly do it to them, which is a normal business method, cut off all trade contacts between these two merchant Jia families, and no longer trade with them, these merchants have no raw materials or goods can not be sold, and the entire business house will collapse immediately."

"If you use some more means to make them sign a large order before they lose money, and then cut off the raw materials and other supplies after signing, then these merchant families will naturally be unable to move an inch, especially some of the ships used in transportation, caravans, etc., many of which are somewhat related to the gate valve family." Zheng Lin shook his head and said.

"This ...... Lang Jun, I'm afraid these people are not targeting these merchant families, right? The butler hesitated.

"Or else? The conditions given by His Royal Highness, can these businessmen not be tempted? But if you want to be tempted, you have to be capable. In fact, I have carefully analyzed these merchant families, and these merchant families are almost limited to the local area, including some relatively powerful merchant families. ”

"It's not that they don't want to expand to other provinces and states, but their strength doesn't allow it, and if they want to trade across provinces, without the support of the gate valve family, the cost will be very high. So they can only be confined locally. ”

"As long as they are confined to the local area, it means that if they are targeted by so many gate valve families at the same time, their ability to resist risks is very poor."

"To put it bluntly, this battle is not a battle between the gate valve family and the merchants, but a battle between the gate valve family and His Royal Highness the King of Qin."

"The gate valve family wants to tell these merchants that they have left them and want to follow King Qin, but the result is that your family's business should not be done, even if it is done, I am afraid it will be a loss-making business. At the same time, they also want to see how much ability His Royal Highness King Qin has. If you want to take advantage of the merchants of the world, you can, but can you give these merchants what His Royal Highness King Qin wants? Zheng Lin said faintly.

He has been in Chang'an for nearly half a year, and Zheng Lin has almost understood all the experiences of His Royal Highness King Qin from childhood to adulthood, and he has read all the things related to His Royal Highness King Qin, articles, etc., so now Zheng Lin does not dare to say that he fully understands His Royal Highness King Qin, but he believes that these gate valve families and businessmen may not have his understanding.

"That'...... Lang Jun, can His Highness win? "The housekeeper is a little worried, they Chang'an Zheng don't care if His Royal Highness wants it or not, but they are determined to follow His Highness to the death, and the victory or defeat of His Highness is naturally related to them.

"Has Your Highness ever lost?" Zheng Lin smiled.

The housekeeper was stunned, didn't he?

……

Qingyulou, this is a teahouse, it is an industry that rose after His Royal Highness the King of Qin improved the tea, of course, there were teahouses before, but people are not as good as now, after His Royal Highness improved the tea, more and more people drink new tea, and the people who taste old tea are gradually decreasing.

Qingyu Mansion is closed to the public today, although there are also people sitting below, but these people are the backbone of various gate valve families, and the head of the house who can be their master is to meet in a private room upstairs.

There are a total of seventeen people in today's gathering, all of the five surnames and seven wangs participated, in addition, there are Jingzhao Wei's, Fanyang Lu's, Langya Wang's, Wujun Zhu's, Wujun Lu's, Hedong Liu's, Jingzhaodu's, Henan's Yuan's, Henan's Yu's, and Lanling's Xiao's.

It can be said that the group of people in front of them really represent the first group of Datang.

"Everyone, let's concentrate on this Bai and Zhang Erjia, you have no objections, right?"

"Nope." Fan Yang Lu's people spoke.

"Then it's decided, as for how to operate, let's discuss it?" The person from the Taiyuan Wang clan asked.

"What's there to discuss, just concentrate all your forces and cut off all their business needs." King-Merriam-Webster Road.

"Guys, do you think we can win?" The person from the Li clan in Longxi asked.

Everyone glanced at him, and the head of the Bolingcui clan shook his head lightly: "You can't win, you're going to lose." ”

"Is Cui Lao so unconfident?"

"It's not that I'm not confident, you ask a few of them, how many of them think we can win?" The head of the Cui family glanced at a few people next to him.

The questioner looked over, and sure enough, everyone remained silent.

"And why are we doing this? To be honest, I don't have much confidence myself. "It was Langya Wang who was questioning.

"Whether we win or not and whether we do it or not are two different things, if we don't win, we have to do something, we have to express the attitude we should express, and we have to let His Highness see that we can unite and do things." The head of the Cui family picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"Of course, there is also a purpose for us. For example, His Highness always has to use some means, and you must have noticed a little bit that His Highness's Yuelai Firm is much larger than we imagined. ”

Everyone looked at each other, and then they all nodded in shock and said, "Indeed, if it weren't for His Highness taking the initiative, we would never have noticed that this Yuelai Commercial Bank has branches and shops in almost every Daozhou in Datang. ”

"And one more point." The people of the Zhu clan of Wu County suddenly spoke.

"What?" Everybody looked at it.

"Unity, Yuelai Commercial Bank, I don't know when you noticed it, our Zhu family noticed it about four years ago, and at that time we knew that it was a commercial house of His Royal Highness the King of Shu, and our family didn't care about it at first, but then in line with the idea of making money, we tentatively sent someone to investigate and contact it, guess what?" The people of the Wu County Zhu clan smiled and spoke.

"What's wrong?" Everyone was curious.

"Four years!" The head of the Zhu family of Wu County stretched out four fingers, "The information we got is almost all useless!" Didn't get any useful information! ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Looking at their expressions, the head of the Zhu family laughed secretly in his heart, and I have to make you scared.

"This ...... Really? Someone couldn't help but ask.

They have all done this kind of thing of listening to the intelligence of their peers, this kind of sending spies, discord and other means, the ancestors don't know how many examples, how can these families who have been inherited for thousands of years not know.

The so-called layman looks at the liveliness, and the insider looks at the doorway. It is precisely because they all understand that they feel terrified, and they have been concentrating on investigating for four years, but they can't find anything? How faithful does this have to be?

There have been no contradictions between the families here, and they have also listened to each other's news, and none of them can be foolproof, let alone four years, four months without revealing any news is already considered a bull's fork!

"Swear in the name of the ancestors of the Zhu family." The head of the Zhu family said with a calm face.

Everyone was really scared at this point.
