Dead silence.
It was as dead as a ghost.
At this moment, I don’t know how many people wet their backs silently.
Not to mention how many people were sitting paralyzed on the ground with their legs and feet weak.
But the strange thing is that no one dared to make the slightest sound.
As if he was afraid that the next breath, Xu Yi's eyes would be on him.
Xu Yi slowly raised the large copper trumpet in his hand.
He grinned and said, "Do you still like this "good show"?"
"I just heard a lot of people shouting and killing below."
Xu Yi paused, and his eyes slowly swept over the faces of the business owners in the first few rows.
Then, he slowly looked at the thousands of people behind him.
Finally, he spread his hands helplessly.
He smiled bitterly and said: "It seems that everyone is not satisfied with this good show. Is it because too few people were killed? Didn't everyone enjoy it?"
As soon as this statement came out.
More than five thousand people instantly shuddered.
He even lost the courage to look at Xu Yi.
It seemed as if the person wearing the dark jade python robe on the high platform was not a person at all.
But a devil!
Xu Yi gave a wry smile and continued: "In that case, someday... the Japanese officials will find out a bunch of bugs again, and then organize a similar conference so that everyone can enjoy it."
The words just fell.
More than five thousand people shuddered together again.
More and more people's legs and feet are weak and their faces are pale.
Women are in business, women are in business, no women are in business, there are more than 5,000 people present, how many of them dare to say that they are innocent?
"Sir...my lord."
A middle-aged businessman in gorgeous brocade clothes at the front stood up with difficulty.
Trembling body, he bowed deeply to Xu Yi.
While Xu Yi was looking at the middle-aged businessman.
Wang Wenqing stepped forward and whispered: "Zhang Shuyan, the concubine of Tian Yichu, the Minister of Household Affairs, is the younger brother of the Zhang family. His name is Zhang's trading company, which is spread all over the country."
Xu Yi nodded slightly, and then said calmly: "Dong Zhang's family, what's going on?"
Zhang Shuyan forcibly suppressed the fear in his heart and said with cupped hands: "Sir... Your Excellency sent someone to send an order to the West Market yesterday, saying that he wanted to solve the problem of unsalable goods in Chang'an City. I don't know... .I wonder how your Excellency plans to solve it?"
Hearing this, Xu Yi smiled apologetically and said, "I almost forgot about business. It's my fault. I hope you can forgive me. As for what I just said about catching another batch of moths, let's put it aside for the time being." , after I finish my business, I will send someone to arrest him."
These words were like a giant sword hanging above everyone's heads.
Zhang Shuyan knew in his heart that whether the giant sword would be moved away or dropped would depend on what Xu Yi said about the "business" next.
For a moment, all the smart people suppressed the fear in their hearts and looked up at Xu Yi.
They are all smart people, and they naturally understand that whether they can survive depends on what happens next.
Xu Yi slowly lifted his feet and walked in the black blood.
Every time he takes a step, several brown threads will be pulled out from the soles of his feet.
Because of this, its movements are extremely slow.
Every step seems to step on everyone's heart.
Xu Yi paced and said: "The solution is very simple. Many of our unsalable goods are exactly what is needed for disaster relief!"
"I will order the government officials to post notices throughout the West City later."
"The notice will detail the type and quantity of goods required."
"As long as it is a business holding the required goods, it can transport the goods to Xuanpingmen by itself!"
"After the goods are inspected, the money and goods will be cleared by both parties. @*~~"
As soon as this statement came out.
In the end, all the scattered shops and small businesses behind them breathed a sigh of relief. The fear and depression just now disappeared with Xu Yi's words.
All that remains is happiness from the bottom of my heart.
Nothing else.
This group of talents is the group of people who really cannot bear it.
Zhang Shuyan's heart trembled, money and goods were cleared? How to clear money and goods?
He beheaded dozens of people in front of him, and then more.
He threatened to find more "worms" and behead them in public.
On the other hand, he said that he would solve everyone's problems and purchase goods on a large scale, in a way that would clear both money and goods.
Thinking with his toes, he knew what Xu Yi had in mind. @·No mistake first release~~
If this product is sold, it will definitely be lost.
If it is not for sale, how many of the large commercial houses present are clean?
When the time comes, collect the incriminating evidence and capture them all without spending a penny!
This... is not an open grab, it's better than an open grab!
Zhang Shuyan turned to look at several familiar bosses behind him.
I saw a few people with hidden anger in their eyes.
Thinking about it, they worked hard and used various means to hoard the goods.
Who is willing to be robbed?
Zhang Shuyan sighed in his heart, already thinking about how to explain the situation to his brother-in-law.
How to unite many business firms to file a lawsuit?
He really didn’t believe it! So many court officials have united, so many merchants have united.
Still can't resist an unpopular prince?
If others don't know Xu Yi's true identity, do they really think that he, Zhang Shuyan, is someone else?
Just when Zhang Shuyan was thinking about how to escape first.
On the high platform, the gong sounded again.
Xu Yi paused and waved his hand slightly to signal everyone to be quiet.
After the scene has completely quieted down.
Xu Yi held a large copper trumpet and continued: "I know that you must have doubts in your hearts. How to clear money and goods? How to clear the money, and at what price?"
As soon as these words came out, more than 70% of the owners of small and medium-sized commercial banks present raised their heads and looked at Xu Yi intently.
Obviously, Zhang Shuyan is not the only one who cares about this issue.
Xu Yi cleared his throat and said loudly: "Today, I will be in front of the owners and shopkeepers of more than 5,000 trading companies!"
"Solemn promise! All required goods will be purchased at the market price before the drought!"
"As long as the goods are good! I will never lower the price of any firm or store!"
"I am Jing Zhaoyin, the Jing Zhaoyin of the victims outside the city! I am also the Jing Zhaoyin of the people in Chang'an City!"
"Taking advantage of a situation like this! I can't do it!"
The words just fell.
Instantly, there was a shout of applause that shook the sky!
Zhang Shuyan's face was full of disbelief. He looked at Xu Yi for a while, and then looked at the owners and shopkeepers of small and medium-sized businesses who were cheering.
Things seem to be back to the beginning.
It seems like it’s not completely back to the beginning!
If this was Xu Yi's purpose, then what was the significance of ordering the beheading of dozens of people in public?
Simply to establish prestige?
Zhang Shuyan kept objecting in his heart, based on his observation of Xu Yi these days.
Xu Yi would never do such a meaningless move.
So, what is Xu Yi’s real purpose?
For a moment, Zhang Shuyan and the owners of many large trading houses all looked thoughtful.
However, they forgot one very important thing.
That is, with the spread of Xu Yi's words today.
At that time, there will be countless small merchants transporting goods to Xuanpingmen!
No one knows how many trading houses and merchants there are in Chang'an City.
But there is one thing that the owners of the large commercial houses present know in their hearts.
That is, after today, Jingzhao Mansion will no longer be short of disaster relief goods!
Of course, except for food.
And at that time, once there is no shortage of relief goods in Jingzhao Mansion, before the trade routes are opened or the Guanzhong disaster has not completely subsided.
Their goods can only rot in the warehouse!
Nothing else.
Except for Jingzhao Mansion, no one has such a big appetite and can eat so many goods.
In addition, Zhang Shuyan and others also neglected something.
That is, invisibly, their uncontracted alliance has been completely destroyed by Xu Yi.
What's more, even if the forces behind them want to criticize Xu Yi, they will face no reason or excuse.
situation.
Unknowingly, Xu Yi had eliminated all future troubles.
Just when everyone was puzzled.
Under Xu Yi's order, the government servants under the high platform sounded the gongs in their hands again.
The moment the gong sounded.
Zhang Shuyan and others all came to their senses and looked up at Xu Yi.
After everyone is quiet.
Xu Yi held a large copper trumpet and said loudly: "If nothing happens to you, you can disperse on your own! Just go to the gates of the West Market later and check the notices!"
Said.
Xu Yi pointed at the heads piled up into a hill.
He said loudly again: "I still need to dispose of these heads and ask their names to be put on the disaster relief monument. Everyone, please take your leave."
The words are over.
Xu Yi slightly arched his hands.
Then he left the West City Pier amid a series of greetings.
All that was left was a blood-stained high platform.
Zhang Shuyan stared blankly at the blood-stained high platform, and kept muttering in his mouth: "Disaster Relief Monument of Shame... Disaster Relief Monument of Shame... Disaster Relief Monument of Shame..."
suddenly.
Zhang Shuyan's eyes suddenly widened with deep fear in his eyes.
What Xu Yi said before kept repeating in his mind.
"As for what I just said about catching another batch of borers, I'll put it on hold for now. I'll send people to catch them after I finish the business."
Zhang Shuyan murmured to himself with fear: "Let's put it aside for now and finish the business! Let's arrest them again! Please put their names on the Disaster Relief Monument of Shame!"
By now.
Zhang Shuyan still doesn't understand Xu Yi's true purpose.
One is to kill the chicken and show it to the monkey. If the monkey disobeys, the monkey will die next.
Secondly, the business houses were divided so that the entire Chang'an city business houses could not be twisted into one rope. In this way, they would not pose any threat to them. In addition, a large amount of disaster relief goods were raised in the shortest time.
Thirdly, "rob in the open!" It is almost to grab the goods hoarded by these guilty-minded trading houses.
Of course, Xu Yi will give a good name and "take the initiative to donate!"
Nowadays, who in the entire city of Chang'an doesn't know that there are two stele for disaster relief, the front is the merit stele, and the back is the shame stele?
Xu Yi's words before leaving were tantamount to clarifying everything.
Either you hand it over voluntarily, and I'll let you save face and go up to the Monument of Merit.
Either you sell the goods to me like others, or you can keep them for yourself. When the time comes, I will bring someone to invite you to the Disaster Relief Monument.
At that time, the money will still be the money of Jingzhao Mansion, and the goods will naturally become the goods of Jingzhao Mansion.
And everyone still needs to risk their wealth and life.
What's the difference between this... and this?
No...this is a steal!
"Xu Yi, what a good plan!" Zhang Shuyan looked up at the sky, his face full of tears.
"Zhang... Zhang's family." Suddenly I heard someone calling from behind.
Zhang Shuyan slowly turned around and looked.
A fat man in Jinyi with a bitter face instantly appeared in his eyes.
This person looks just like him, with a towering tree behind him.
Without waiting for Zhang Shuyan to speak.
The fat man in Jinyi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said in a trembling voice: "What...what should I do?"
I heard this.
Zhang Shuyan's expression suddenly changed again.
Only then did he suddenly realize that he had no other choice.
Even resistance is impossible.
"What a plan! What a good plan!" Zhang Shuyan's eyes were dull and he kept roaring deep in his heart.
The fat man in Jinyi looked at Zhang Shuyan with a bitter look on his face and shouted again: "Dong Zhang's family? Dong Zhang's family?"
Zhang Shuyan came back to his senses and sighed feebly.
Then he shook his head slightly and said without tears, "I don't know what to do. You and I... you and I will go our separate ways for the time being, and we will meet again tomorrow at Mao hour."
The fat man in Jinyi was also a smart man, and he instantly understood Zhang Shuyan's inner meaning when he heard this.
.
He sighed, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go back now. I'll see you and I at the same place tomorrow at Mao."
The words are over.
The fat man in Jinyi quickly disappeared into the crowd.
Their movements and body shapes suddenly created a huge sense of difference. jj.br>
Zhang Shuyan gave a wry smile and made an appointment with several other large business owners.
Then he quickly stepped out of the carriage and went straight to Tian's mansion.
...
In the study room of Tian Mansion.
The Minister of the Ministry of Finance, who is over fifty years old, is sitting upright on the Taishi chair.
In front of him, Zhang Shuyan told all the things that happened in the West Market today with a bitter look on his face.
It was a matter of his own life, so Zhang Shuyan did not add any fuel to the fire this time.
Tian Yichu listened to Zhang Shuyan's story quietly with no expression on his face.
During this time, not a word was said.
After a while.
Zhang Shuyan stopped talking and stood silently in front of the desk with his head lowered.
"Are you done?" Tian Yichu's voice contained no emotion at all. @*~~
Like a pool of stagnant water.
"That's it." Zhang Shuyan lowered his head and replied.
The words are over.
Tian Yichu picked up the already cold tea with an expressionless expression and drank it slowly.
If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that Tian Yichu's palm holding the tea cup started to tremble slightly at some point.
A glass of ice-cold tea.
Tian Yichu put down his cup and said calmly: "Just do what Xu Yi expressed."
"Old... Master." Zhang Shuyan raised his head suddenly, thinking that Tian Yichu would give a certain solution.
Unexpectedly, Tian Yichu didn't even resist, and just gave up the goods that he had spent so much effort to get.
Tian Yichu looked at Zhang Shuyan expressionlessly, and hummed an unquestionable word between his breaths: "Huh?"
Zhang Shuyan's back instantly became wet, and he hurriedly changed the topic: "Master, let's... how much shall we let out?"
The concubine's brother is not even qualified to be called brother-in-law.
Tian Yichu could make Zhangjia Trading Company bigger and become a large trading bank that could rank among the top fifty in the Zhou Dynasty.
Naturally, the Zhang Family Trading Company can change owners in minutes.
Strictly speaking, the Zhang Family Trading Company’s surname is Tian, not Zhang.
How could Zhang Shuyan dare to refute?
Tian Yichu said expressionlessly: "All the goods accumulated since the drought will be donated."
Zhang Shuyan felt a chill in his heart, even though he was unwilling to do so.
He could only bow his hands and say, "Follow the order."
Tian Yichu waved his hand slightly.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Shuyan quickly retreated.
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Ahem, I originally wanted to reveal all the calculations in this chapter, but as a result... I had a full day of work today, and when I wrote the plot, I always couldn't write smoothly.
The next chapter will be updated and it will definitely be a big chapter.
After writing this plot, the first main plot is basically coming to an end. .
