The place where the New Year's Clothing Meeting was held was in Guanyi in Zhoufu. Because Wu'an Hou and Cheng Ying both lived here, and there was a place for large gatherings in the official post office, the New Year's Clothing Meeting was chosen here.
In addition to the cloth merchants from the entire Danyang City, cloth merchants from several surrounding prefectures will also come to participate. There are about thirty cloth merchants participating in total.
Generally, a cloth merchant can bring three people to the conference, including a dyer.
In addition to cloth merchants, many other businesses will come to watch the New Year's Cloth Fair, which can be regarded as raising the level of the New Year's Cloth Fair. After all, this is a royal event.
Speaking of which, the Ye family's cloth color and craftsmanship are considered to be top-notch among the nearby cities. Otherwise, it would be impossible to be selected. Even the Huang family was eliminated.
This year's annual conference will not only confirm the emperor's merchants, but also conduct industry exchanges. Of course, if anyone's announcement is better, they may even intercept the emperor's merchants.
Although the Huang family has reached a preliminary cooperation with Chaoting, they have not yet fully obtained the qualifications of the imperial merchant. It can only be said that the Huang family has the greatest chance of becoming an imperial merchant.
In fact, as long as you can conduct a year-old cloth business, your qualifications as an imperial merchant are basically guaranteed. Unless someone else really has better fabrics.
As for those other merchants, they are ranked outside the Suibuhui Hall, and they can only observe the situation inside the hall from a distance.
Yunze, Ye Ziyan and Xiaotao arrived in front of the official post. People were passing in invitations one after another, including cloth merchants and other merchants.
Ye Ziyan took out the invitation and prepared to enter the official post. However, just after taking a few steps, he ran into three people. It was Huang Xiong, Huang Lang and Xi Fang.
The moment she saw Xi Fang, anger welled up in Ye Ziyan's eyes. If looks could kill, Xi Fang would probably have been killed countless times.
Xi Fang stepped back unconsciously, his eyes full of fear and uneasiness.
"Xi Fang, my father treats you well. Wouldn't your conscience hurt if you stole my formula?" Ye Ziyan said coldly.
Xi Fang's face turned slightly pale when he heard this, and he opened his mouth to speak, but was interrupted by Huang Xiong.
"Niece Ye, how can you be such a mouthful? Mr. Xi is now the chief dyer of my Huang family. You said that he stole your Ye family's formula. Doesn't this mean that my Huang family stole your Ye family's formula! You It's best to take these words back, otherwise, don't blame me for going to the government office to sue you for slander! Although I won't be convicted of too serious a crime, I will still be slapped with dozens of big names."
Huang Xiong looked at Ye Ziyan coldly, with a hint of teasing and ridicule in his voice.
"With your body, if you take down dozens of big boards, you're probably going to lose your life! If you want to slander, you have to think carefully! If you don't have evidence, you can't talk nonsense."
At the end of his speech, his voice couldn't help but sound a little proud.
The formula has been stolen for a month, but Ye Ziyan has not responded at all, which means that Ye Ziyan does not have any evidence. Moreover, Ye Ziyan did not bring the three-color cloth to Cheng Ying. It can only be said that Ye Ziyan only has one copy of the formula.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be as proud and arrogant as he is now. Moreover, now even if Ye Ziyan takes out the three-color cloth, he can bite back and say that Ye Ziyan stole his formula.
So, now he is not only proud, but also very arrogant. The meaning is very simple. Even if I steal your formula, what can you do? If you talk nonsense without evidence, I can kill you!
Seeing Huang Xiong's proud look, although Ye Ziyan knew that Yunze had a way to defeat him, she was still very angry.
The people around had different expressions when they saw this scene. Everyone knew about stealing the formula. If the Huang family didn't steal the Ye family's formula, they wouldn't believe it even to death.
But so what, the Ye family has no evidence. If they really pursue the case, they might get themselves involved. Even if there is evidence, the Huang family has now obtained Sui Bu's business.
Cheng Ying and Wu Anhou would probably also turn to the Huang family and would never seek justice for the Ye family. Everyone sighed and looked at Ye Ziyan with pity.
"Huang Xiong, I hope you can successfully get the cloth business this time, but I'm afraid you will push yourself to death!" Ye Ziyan suppressed the anger in her heart and turned around to leave.
Xiaotao followed with the box in her arms. Yunze glanced at Huang Xiong and Huang Lang. He accidentally glanced at Xi Fang again, turned around and followed him.
When Xi Fang met Yunze's cold gaze, his body trembled, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes. Huang Xiong and Huang Lang looked at Yunze and the others entering with a trace of contempt on their lips.
"Hold on to death! Huh... Not only will my Huang family not be able to hold on to death, but my appetite is not just for the New Year's Cloth business. Sooner or later, your Ye family will fall into the hands of my Huang family. Once the New Year's cloth business is completed, I will take action against your Ye family. hour."
Huang Xiong snorted coldly and followed him in. He has been waiting, waiting for the Suibu matter to settle, and then it will be time for them to take action against the Ye family.
This year's cloth meeting was just the beginning. When he became an imperial merchant, he was still afraid that more than thirty other cloth merchants would dare not to cooperate with him. If anyone was disobedient, the Huang family would make him disappear in the cloth industry.
With those three colors of cloth, Huang Xiong believed that he could definitely monopolize the entire cloth industry.
As soon as Huang Xiong walked to the door, people came over to greet him warmly. The Huang family can be said to be the most powerful cloth merchants in several surrounding cities.
A year ago, the Ye family was on par with him, but since the death of Ye Ziyan's father, the Ye family has begun to decline.
These people came here to curry favor with Huang Xiong.
Looking at the people who were flattering him, Huang Xiong's face became even more proud, and he felt as if he could turn his hands into clouds or turn his hands into rain.
Huang Lang also looked proud. After today, his Huang family will soar into the sky. Huang Shang, how many people can achieve such a goal. By then, the name Huang Shang will bring not only wealth to their family. , and fame. Just thinking about him makes me feel indescribably happy.
Looking at Ye Ziyan and the other three who entered in front, his mouth was filled with ridicule.
Soon, a group of people entered the hall of the Suibuhui. At this time, there were also various cloth merchants. Outside the hall, there were also many people from Danyang City and even several surrounding prefectures who came to join in the fun. merchant.
These merchants had arrived several days ago, so they were not affected by the heavy rain in the past few days.
Moreover, the disaster affected several prefectures in the upper reaches, but the prefectures in Danyang City were not affected. And because Danyang City is relatively close to several prefectures upstream. Most of the victims came here.
According to the news from the Prince of Danyang County, there are already about 30,000 victims outside the city. The city guard has sent people to maintain order. And prevent those disaster victims from flooding into the city.
The government also temporarily sent people to deliver porridge outside the city, barely able to ensure that the victims did not go hungry. As for a place to sleep, there is none. Many people are looking for a place to stay under the city wall.
Others sleep directly in the open air. It is still spring and the nights are cold. No one knows how many victims died in the cold night.
