Chapter 217 Zhao Zhun Breaks into the Chamber of Commerce

Cao Yuzan spoke out, and it began to bear fruit. The censors who had been cautious in their words and deeds for many years finally dared to tell the truth.The young censor named Zhang Heng spoke out boldly, scolding the six plutocrats in court for taking advantage of disasters to get rich and driving up prices.Now a piece of paper has been carried to a dollar.Since the "Book of Jin Zuo Si Zhuan", the scene of "Luoyang Zhigui" has been reproduced, but the meanings of the two before and after are quite different.

Cao Yuzan summoned the representatives of the six chaebols and demanded that within ten days, the price of paper must be reduced to the level of three pieces of paper for one yuan.Prime Minister Meng Danqing was the first to express his support, and other chaebols responded one after another.So the warehouses began to release goods, and the three major warehouses of the Tang family became busy again.

Although the price was suppressed by Empress Cao, the price was still more than two levels higher than before the six chaebols swept up the goods, and this did not affect the paper manufacturer's monopoly on the paper industry.All papermaking workshops must ship from the warehouses of the six chaebols, and their profits are taken away by the chaebols.

In the end, no matter how the situation changes, the big chaebols are still the beneficiaries, and the most grassroots paper factories have not received any benefits.On the contrary, due to the increase in transportation costs, the profit income will be reduced.However, under the protection of Dong Dacang, Su Yu's small workshop in Li's warehouse gave the green light, and in the past ten days, he has made a lot of money.

But the good times didn't last long, and Tang Linger knew about it, and Su Yu insisted on handing over the proceeds, so Su Yu nicknamed Tang Linger "Tang Papi".

"Jinfeng, you don't have to worry about food and clothing, and the family in Huazhou is not short of money. Why do you need so much money? You have a monthly salary, as well as rewards from the auction house, which is not enough for you. ?” Tang Linger said with a serious face.

Su Yu was expressionless: "Brother Eighteen asked me to contact the Red and Black God Sect, and the God Sect needs help."

Tang Linger said displeasedly: "If the Red and Black God Sect's survival is a problem, I don't think there is any need to contact them again. Besides, before you came to Luoyang, did the Red and Black God Sect starve to death? You made the sect Back from the dead?"

Tang Linger's words were still as sharp as before, but her tone was no longer aggressive, but more teasing.

Su Yu raised his eyebrows and remained silent.

Tang Ling'er said again: "Don't think I don't know, you brought in the bamboo in Li's warehouse. You must have made a lot of money selling bamboo. I don't ask you for more, just pay half of it. There is this in the account For the sum of money, I have an account with the Presbyterian Church."

Su Yu took out a small ledger: "I still have to take away Tang Kuan's money, but it's actually not much."

"Bring me your account book."

"This is my private ledger."

Tang Linger stared at Su Yu without saying a word, as if to say, what I want to see is your private account book.

Su Yu gave Tang Ling'er a sideways glance, threw the ledger on the table, and then looked up at the ceiling.

I remember that Su Yu's account books were all written in simple characters, and many accounts only wrote one word.Tang Linger was confused.But Tang Linger couldn't be bothered, she looked through the number of bamboos registered at the Fangfangmen, and then went back to Su Yu's account book to count.

Su Yu found that he couldn't hide it from this girl, so he simply admitted it, so he leaned forward and explained the accounts to her.In the end, according to Tang Linger's request, half of it was stripped off by her.

Wang Xun went upstairs with snacks, and seeing the young couple meeting each other and talking, Wang Xun stood at the door and didn't come in.It wasn't until Su Yu put away the account book that Wang Xun smiled and said, "I heard that the assassin who assassinated the second master was caught, but unfortunately he has already been killed by Lin Jian, so there is no way to find out who is behind the scenes."

Su Yu didn't speak.

Tang Linger asked: "Since he's dead, how can he be sure that that person is the assassin who killed Second Uncle?"

Wang Xun put down his snacks and said, "I found a few marbles on that person, which are exactly the same as the one in the second master's hand. Lin Jian said that he has seen that kind of marbles, which come from the Taoist Waidan school."

"Wai Dan School?" Tang Ling'er frowned and thought for a while, "Is Li Wantang also from the Wai Dan School?"

Wang Xun Gongli said: "That's right. Today's alchemy is flourishing, and it has a lot to do with Li Wantang. Some pills are used to directly defend against the enemy, and some pills are taken to increase power. They are also said to increase life span."

Tang Ling'er snorted coldly: "I haven't seen anyone who can live longer after taking pills. On the contrary, many people died after eating them."

The warehouses of the six chaebols are busy all day long, paper is fed in and out in an orderly manner, and the paper makers are making money day by day.All this seems to be as smooth as monopoly cotton yarn.But on this day, news was received that Prince Geng Zhao Zhun brought people to the chamber of commerce and asked the chamber of commerce to open a seat for him.From then on, Prince Geng's Mansion will become the seventh warehouse.

Zhao Zhun didn't take any money when receiving the goods, but now he wants to come in for free, how can he do it?

Faced with such an overbearing request, the chairman, Meng Sixun, did not answer directly, but held a meeting within the chamber of commerce to discuss it together.As a result, there was overwhelming opposition at the meeting.Then Meng Sixun led the representatives of the major chaebols and refused Zhao Zhun to join.

Zhao Zhun was furious and wanted to smash the chamber of commerce.

Prince Qiantui personally came to the chamber of commerce to play hooligans. This is something new that has never happened in the Liang Dynasty for more than a hundred years.Even Simin like Meng Sixun was stunned.He quickly sent someone to the prime minister's mansion to seek Meng Danqing's opinion.

When Meng Xiang heard about this, he smiled instead of anger: "Since the founding of the Liang Dynasty, the three families have reached an agreement with the royal family. The Jingzhou Road of the Meng family, the Chang'an Road of the Tang family, and the Huainan Road of the Ximen family. In addition, it is the territory of the Zhao family, especially in Gyeonggi Province. These six companies have established many chambers of commerce in Luoyang to control the trading of bulk commodities. Not what I expected."

Chuanxin said: "But Zhao Zhun will grab a seat without taking any money. What should I do? If I don't pay attention to the six families, won't it also damage the face of my Meng family?"

Meng Danqing said angrily: "Face is for foreigners, why should Liang Dynasty show face? Tell Meng Sixun that if Zhao Zhun doesn't take money, he will take money from the Meng family's account to make up for it. I believe Zhao Zhun will not do that It's unreasonable, since he is given a seat, he will naturally take a step back. The money will be slowly deducted from Zhao Zhun's account in the future. This way, the matter can be settled, and Zhao Zhun will also take the money. something wrong.

If other families are dissatisfied, let them talk to Zhao Zhun.If you can't agree with Zhao Zhun, you can talk to the emperor.I want to see who has the face to go to the emperor because of such a trivial matter.I don't think Tang Zhen will do the same.After all, Tang Zhen is a man who wants face.Just pass on to me that I don't care about other people's families, and the Meng family will pay the money first. "

Meng Danqing's words were not deliberately concealed, and now the entire chamber of commerce knows.But Zhao Zhun, Prince of Nageng, really fulfilled his wish, and won a seat "without taking any money away".

However, it is not so easy for him to obtain the vested interests of the six chaebols.Meng Sixun told Zhao Zhun that it is impossible to sell the paper stocked in the six warehouses and distribute it to you.From today onwards, you will be paid only if there are new goods coming in and out.And the money that my Meng family has advanced for you will be returned in a lump sum.

Zhao Zhun asked: If I produce paper myself, how should I divide it?
Meng Sixun said, "According to the rules of the chamber of commerce, if you produce paper at home, you only need to keep the prices consistent with the chamber of commerce, and you don't need to pay membership fees to the chamber of commerce."And the account I mentioned before was the money picked up from other factories and workshops.From now on, your Zhao's warehouse will be the same as other houses. It can be regarded as the warehouse of our chamber of commerce. It can be used by the chamber of commerce at any time, and the goods can be imported and exported nearby.

At this point, Zhao Zhun had nothing to criticize, so he agreed, and the two parties ended "happily".

After hearing the news, Su Yu hurriedly went to Tang Kuan and Li Xiang to plot a major event.
