Chapter 108: Gathering of Merchants
Chapter 108 Gathering of Firms (1)
The next morning, the birds sang and the flowers were fragrant.
The first rays of light on the horizon are a sign that a new day has arrived.
Today is an important day for the gathering of commercial banks, and the whole Luoyang City seems to be full of vitality, and the lively atmosphere is more than usual. In particular, the wide road of Dongcheng Street has long been blocked by all kinds of trucks full of goods.
The firm has the rules of the firm, and if any firm wants to operate, it must obtain the permission of the Chamber of Commerce Alliance, otherwise it will be suppressed by all the chambers of commerce. This is for the interests of the vast number of businessmen, for the balanced development of the commercial economy, and more importantly, to prevent malicious competition and some dishonorable means by certain merchants. The assembly of the commercial bank is a kind of assembly system born under such conditions.
The meeting of the merchants, as the name suggests, is a general meeting of all the merchants, which is held once a year during the spring equinox, and the location is usually selected in a large city with a prosperous economy or stable development. In addition to electing representatives of the business alliance, it can also exchange goods from the north and south to form a relatively centralized trading market.
Of course, if you want to join such a large trade market, you must obtain certain qualifications. Therefore, the competition between the trading houses is very fierce every year!
......
At the intersection of East Street, there is a crowd of people, and there is no end in sight.
The motorcade of the Chase Chamber of Commerce followed the crowded flow of people, unable to move forward half an inch for a long time.
Seeing that time passed little by little, the crowd began to gather more and more, and such a scene was really a little anxious.
"Wow, Miss, look, there are so many people, Xiao Ying has never seen so many people!"
Xiao Ying got out of the carriage and looked at the vast sea of people in front of her in a daze. This was the first time she had participated in such a grand gathering, and she had been looking forward to it for a long time.
"Strange!Why didn't anyone in the Chamber of Commerce Alliance come forward to preside over the order?"
Shu Lan followed out of the carriage, ignoring the little girl on the side, and stood on the carriage looking at the road ahead, with a faint sadness between her eyebrows: "It's hard to even step away now, let alone let all the vehicles pass...... If this continues, we'll probably not even think about going into the hall until it's dark. ”
"Miss, what should we do now?"
Uncle Miao stretched his neck and looked ahead, his expression was also very helpless. The caravans that came one after another gathered more and more, and looking at this momentum, I am afraid that it will be blocked for a while.
Shu Lan sighed and said, "Wait! There is no other way now, I just hope that the Chamber of Commerce Alliance can send someone to clear the passage soon." After a pause, she turned to the side again and said, "Escort Liang, please take care of the goods with Tianwen here, and Uncle Miao and I will go to the front to explore the situation first." ”
"Yes Miss. ”
Liang Guard arched his hand, and Xiao Ying next to him shouted: "Miss, what about me, you can't bear to leave me here alone, right? There are so many people here, and it's stuffy, it's too uncomfortable!"
"It's just that you girl is tender. ”
Shu Lan nodded Xiao Ying's head angrily and said, "Okay, you go with us, so as not to cause trouble here." After saying that, he got out of the car first.
"Great, great!"
The little girl happily followed, and when she left, she didn't forget to turn around and give Tianwen a grimace.
......
The crowd was crowded, Shu Lan and Xiao Ying slowly walked forward under the escort of Uncle Miao, but unfortunately the road in front of them was completely blocked, and they couldn't squeeze through it even on foot. In desperation, the three of them had no choice but to turn around and walk towards the fork in the road.
"Look, what a pretty girl......"
"Where, where?"
"It's coming, look! ”
"Wow! Luoyang is Luoyang, the mountains and rivers are good, and the people are better, what a stunning beauty!"
"Hey, hey, hey, hey,
That's exactly what I mean. ”
......
As soon as Shu Lan and the three of them walked to the side of the road, a large group of people immediately gathered around.
"Little girl, where do you want to go if you are in such a hurry?
Leading the way were several disheveled young men, their eyes swept over Shu Lan's body wantonly, and they couldn't wait to peel off the clothes on each other's bodies layer by layer.
"Stinky rascal!"
Xiao Ying held her young lady tightly and glared at the other party angrily.
"Yo, this little girl's mouth is pretty neat......"
A man with a freckled face looked around at his companions and laughed strangely: "Brothers, since everyone says that we are hooligans, then why don't we do something, aren't we sorry for the title of hooligans?"
"That's right, that's right!"
"Little girl, we'll show you the hooligans. ”
"Hey, hey, hey!"
This group of ruffians was about to step forward and move their hands and feet, but Uncle Miao snorted coldly, and smashed his fists and feet on them mercilessly.
For a while, the group of ruffians who gathered around were all thrown to the ground, wailing!
......
There was such a fight on the street, which naturally attracted the crowd around to watch.
Immediately after, the crowd parted on both sides, and several guards with knives wearing the clothes of the Heaven and Earth Alliance walked over.
"What's going on? All fights are forbidden in Luoyang City, whoever dares to make trouble will be killed!"
A group of patrols approached murderously, and the noisy people immediately subsided, and the scene was quickly controlled.
Shu Lan looked at the person who was the leader and immediately smiled. This person is none other than Deacon Xu, who I met in the ushering guest house yesterday.
Xu Hongbo obviously also saw Shu Lan and the others, and he was about to step forward to salute, when a man with freckles on his face rushed in front of him and cried: "My lord, you came just in time, those three people are really rude, they will beat people when they come over, especially that old man, he is so ......ruthless."
As he spoke, the freckled man quietly stuffed the silver into Xu Hongbo's hand and put on a flattering smile.
shook the broken silver in his hand, Xu Hongbo couldn't help crying or laughing. It is precisely because he has seen ghosts that he is more afraid of the dark, where does he dare to do such a thing now?
Yesterday, when he went to the torture hall to receive the punishment, Xu Hongbo was sent back to the head of the patrol team from the deacon of Sanpin, and there was a huge gap in his heart, but he did not have the slightest complaint, especially after learning Li Yuefan's identity, he couldn't think of anything else. It's just that he never imagined that on the first day of his demotion to patrol the streets, he would meet someone from the Chase Chamber of Commerce again!
Secretly sighing in his heart that the luck was not good, Xu Hongbo waved his hand and said: "Come on, give me a beating of these ruffians, and then throw them out of Luoyang City, if they dare to step into Luoyang City half a step, cut off their hands and feet! If they still dare to make trouble, they will cut it directly." ”
"Yes. ”
The guards of the Heaven and Earth Alliance moved in response, and the freckled man and the others were all dumbfounded!
"No, don't hit me...... We give money ......."
"Help!
"Don't fight anymore, we know it's wrong!
"Your Excellency, let us go!"
......
Under the stunned gaze of everyone, a group of ruffians were beaten **** by several guards, and the last one was thrown out of the city one by one.
After finishing these trivial things, Xu Hongbo strode in front of Shu Lan and the others.
"It turned out that Miss Shu was here, and Xu's inspection was not strict, which frightened the three of them! And yesterday's incident, it is indeed Xu who is wrong, and I ask Miss Shu to forgive me. ”
Xu Hongbo said politely and so sincerely, Shu Lan was not easy to slacken, so she said in a gentle voice: "There are often disputes between the market, and we have nothing to do with each other." As for what happened yesterday, it was all caused by Shi Menglin, so naturally it is no wonder that Brother Xu is no wonder. ”
The other party said "Brother Xu", and Xu Hongbo was called a hundred pulses. This Shu Lan not only has a shallow relationship with Li Yuefan, but also a sister recognized by Ling Tong, her status is much higher than herself, and she can be treated by the other party, what else does Xu Hongbo have to say.
"Miss Shu is really magnanimous, and Xu is even more ashamed!"
Xu Hongbo arched his hand gratefully, and asked, "I don't know what Miss Shu are doing here?" There are many people here and the environment is complicated, why don't Xu send you back!"
Shu Lan smiled and said, "Thank you Brother Xu for your kindness, but we are here to participate in the gathering of the trading house this time......"
Xu Hongbo was surprised: "You also came to participate in the gathering of the trading house?"
Xiao Ying on the side took over and said: "We are also from the Chamber of Commerce, so naturally we have to participate in the gathering of the business bank, what's so strange about this!"
"Ugh!"
Xu Hongbo was stunned, and said with a dry smile: "I didn't mean that, I'm strange, didn't Boss Ling directly arrange for you to enter the museum?
Shu Lan shook her head when she heard this: "Actually, Brother Ling has an arrangement, but I don't want to trouble him too much, so I came by myself." ”
"I see!"
Xu Hongbo smiled and said bluntly: "Since you met here, let Xu open a way for you, otherwise if you go down like this, I am afraid you will not be able to enter the hall after dark." ”
"This ......"
Shu Lan hesitated, and Xu Hongbo continued: "Since Miss Shu called me Brother Xu, then what is this little thing, let Xu make amends for yesterday's incident!"
"Brother Xu, where are you talking ......?"
Looking at the crowded scene in front of her, Shu Lan still nodded in agreement: "Okay! Then it's troublesome for Brother Xu and you." ”
......
The Heaven and Earth Alliance is in Luoyang, it can be said to be absolute authority, and no one dares to fight against it.
With the help of a group of patrol guards, the Chase Chamber of Commerce has no obstacles all the way.
Walking on the street, the guys of the Chase Chamber of Commerce straightened their backs one by one, and their faces were full of pride. It seems that they enjoy the envious gaze of others.
Thinking about it, for ordinary people, it is indeed a matter of pride to have the patrols of the Heaven and Earth Alliance help open the way.
