The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1308
Now that the matter has been done, it must be done thoroughly. It's not that Xuan Shijing will let them go when those people are running around looking pitiful. When Xuan Shijing was anxious to get angry and pitiful, he didn't see them let go.

At the end of the meal, the servant from Xuanwu Building came up, knocked on the door and walked in.

"Grandpa, someone downstairs sent an invitation card." The servant walked to Xuan Shijing's side, and handed the invitation card to Xuan Shijing with both hands.

Xuan Shijing took the invitation and opened it to have a look.

Good guy, this is amazing, eight or nine helmsmen of the old honorable families invited him to the banquet together.

Xuan Shijing checked the details of those merchants before, and the people behind those merchants are these old honorable families. Today, these people who can talk about it can't stand it anymore, and finally jumped out in person, wanting to find Xuan Shijing discussed it.

It's just that Xuan Shijing was going to meet them when they made an appointment, so it still seemed that Xuan Shijing was looking forward to them. Such a person should be left alone.

"Is the person who delivered the post still waiting below?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"If you go back to the father-in-law, you are still waiting. He said that you want to wait for the father-in-law to reply, so that he can go back to do business." The boy said.

It seems that those people got together, Xuan Shijing frowned: "Go down and tell the person who sent the post that this official and Mr. Yan are busy with things on Longshouyuan for the past two days, and we can't spare time for the banquet. As for this banquet, it will be too late to eat after a while."

"Yes." The boy responded, and then he left the room.

"Look, these people can't wait now, so everyone, act quickly." Xuan Shijing smiled at the crowd: "After all, they are all old noble families with status, and I can't wait for long."

Xuan Shijing replied to this invitation in front of these people, and it also made them feel at ease. No matter Xuan Shijing won a few days in the future, he would do his best. During this period, they can How much the market in Chang'an can be divided up depends entirely on their abilities.

"Don't worry, Xuan Gong, I'll find out later." Several shopkeepers present said with a smile.

The time Xuan Shijing delays these people is the time for them to flex their muscles for their own benefit. Now that these people have nothing to do, they are willing to bow their heads to find Xuan Shijing. If they enter the palace, His Majesty will take care of them He let go in front of him, facing Xuan Shijing or Yan Lide at this moment, his nostrils could probably open up to his head.

The servants waiting on the first floor were very embarrassed after hearing the response from the little boy in the Xuanwu Tower. If this news was brought back, his master might be angry, but there was nothing he could do about it. After all, he was just a servant. He can't be the master, he can only be a messenger.

"Please tell my father-in-law's words after you go back." The servant of Xuanwu Tower politely sent the servant away.

People like Li Shen, although they don't have power in the court, are still relatives of the emperor. Li Tang's royal clan usually relies on their status, and many people respect him. He has never met someone like Xuan Shijing. Ordinary people who don't know what's good and what's wrong don't have any contacts at first, but now that their interests are involved, they don't know how to back down, so they're just so aggressive.

Li Shen, Li Zhe and others had already sent a post to treat guests to dinner, trying to show their favor, but Xuan Shijing replied.

How dare he respond to their invitation like this?
Even in the palace, when His Majesty saw them, he was very polite. He, a little county prince, dared to treat them, the royal family, like this.

"This Xuan Shijing simply doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth!" Li Shen said angrily.

"Nephew, don't be in a hurry." Li Zhe sat in the hall and said, "Now we are the ones who want to ask the Duke of Jinyang, and we are under his control. We must not say this in front of outsiders, otherwise, It’s just for no reason to offend Duke Xuan again.”

"Uncle, is it possible that we can only humbly beg Xuan Shijing?" Li Shen said.

Li Zhe nodded slightly: "For the next few companies, the chambers of commerce under their hands have a lot of materials. They originally wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money. At least it can be more generous. However, if the materials cannot be sold and are left in our hands, they are a pile of waste, which is of no use to us. As long as they are exchanged for money, that is the most important thing. You may as well tell us how much you have stored in your hands. Materials, how much money the family has is all on it, once this deal is ruined, how much will the family have to save on food and clothing."

Li Zhe's words are not very pleasant, but they are very useful. The people present are all in the same situation. They are not satisfied with the little living expenses that the government has given them to support them. They want to get more, so they put all their eggs in one basket. Putting his family fortune on it, he wanted to dig out a piece of meat from the treasury, but now, he was lucky not to be starved to death first.

So even if Xuan Shijing delayed them and left them alone, they would have nothing to do.

"Then what should we do?" asked another member of the clan.

"Continue to submit posts to Xuangong's mansion tomorrow. If you don't agree, continue to post posts the day after tomorrow until he agrees." Li Zhe said: "As for the merchants in Chang'an City who stand with Xuangong, since they pay [-]% of the price If you want to sell the materials, then we will also pay [-]% of the goods, and the goods in their hands are not as much as ours."

"Ninety percent. Isn't it better than before?"

"Up to now, are you still greedy for that money? It's a blessing to be able to sell it." Li Zhe glanced at the man angrily.

After personally getting in touch with this group of 'insiders', Li Zhe seemed to be able to understand Xuan Shijing's actions a little bit. It was indeed helpless to meet such people.

Perhaps in Xuan Shijing's eyes before, his group of people were all people who wanted money like this, but this is also a fact.

After entangled with Xuan Shijing and the Ministry of Industry for so long on the material issue, in the end he was forced to choose a compromise, but after this encounter, Li Zhe felt a little tired.

He was getting old, and he didn't want to struggle anymore, and he couldn't afford to struggle anymore. Whether it was physical or mental strength, he couldn't compare to a man in his prime like Li Shen.

Li Shen and His Majesty Li Er are of the same generation, much younger than His Majesty Li Er, and Li Zhe is almost in his sixtieth year now, if he continues to toss about, even old age will become a problem.

When these people entered the palace, His Majesty Li Er was polite to them, mostly because of Li Zhe's face, otherwise only a few people of his generation would dare to come to the palace to make trouble, and His Majesty Li Er would be polite to them .

Li Zhegao is the next generation of Li Er. His Majesty Li Er wants to call him cousin when he sees him. He wants to meet in private. His Majesty Li Er is a younger generation. He should be polite. His Majesty Li Er will definitely not make false claims with them, and just reject it directly. In Ganlu Hall, His Majesty Li Er still gave these clan members face.
