Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 162 Fly separately in the face of catastrophe! (seeking subscription)

There was dead silence.

They are all people who have been up and down in troubled times, and they have been struggling in society for many years. They were just flustered for a while because of excessive nervousness.

All their stability actually depends on Qin Ting.

Without Qin Ting's protection.

What will happen to them?Especially after the enactment of the Commercial Law?
It takes almost no thinking.

They all clearly realized that without Qin Ting's protection and Qin Law's protection, merchants like them would die miserably, and their entire family might even be wiped out.

This is not alarmist talk.

It is a fact that is very likely to happen.

They are merchants, and they know better what will happen if they push the merchants into a hurry.

When they were doing business in the past, they often told people that those who cut off my money would be like killing my parents. Now because of their existence, Daqin has introduced business laws. Isn’t this cutting off the money of most merchants in the world? The resentment that has been attracted, even just thinking about it, several people feel their scalps go numb.

They are indeed victims.

But who cares?
Who cares about these?

Other merchants would only think that they did not operate properly, and Qin Ting noticed it. In order to prevent merchants, Qin Ting decided to strengthen the control of merchants. No matter what the final result is, this evil result will definitely fall on them.

Looking at the ugly expressions of the people around, Feng Dong sighed lightly, and continued: "Everyone, don't you feel anything else strange?"

"What else is strange?" Everyone's face darkened, and they asked quickly.

Feng Dong smiled wryly and said, "Does the government need to inform us of the laws and regulations? Do we need to explain the matter clearly?"

heard.

Everyone was taken aback.

They already understood what Feng Dong meant.

Has the government ever cared about the suggestions of merchants?And why have you ever listened to the advice of merchants?

there has never been!

So why is it uncharacteristic this time?
The results are obvious.

on purpose.

Not for pressure.

Nor is it to force them to submit.

Instead, they deliberately put the implementation of the "Law of Business" on merchants, and let them attract hatred from all over the world.

In order to weaken the hatred of Qin Ting.

This is inhuman!
see.

Feng Dong also knew that the others understood, and he said: "This is Mr. Zhong's real purpose. Everything in front of him is just trying to confuse me, and it's all trying to intimidate me, just to make me fall into the trap." Boundless panic, and then quietly settled the matter."

"At present, Qin Ting is very powerful. Even if other merchants know that we are the target of Qin Ting, they will not rush to fight against Qin Ting."

"They can only come against us."

"Ugh."

Feng Dong sighed for a long time, and said with a gloomy expression: "This Mr. Zhong is really calculating. He pushed us down the abyss, and then threw a rope from a high altitude, and looked down at us from above, and then Tell us that grabbing Qin Ting's rope can save your life."

"It's a great irony."

Silence.

How can other people not understand?

But besides expressing some anger in their hearts and words, what else can they do?
What can I do?
Originally, these salt merchants and iron merchants gathered together, and there were tens of thousands of people, but within these ten days, a large number of clansmen and servants from each family fled, and the number of people they can gather now is less than 1000 With so many people, what kind of storm can this little manpower create in Guanzhong?
What's more, he was closely guarded by Qin Ting.

Think of this.

A sense of fear rose in everyone's eyes.

They suddenly thought, could this be part of Mr. Zhong's scheme?
Is it because they are afraid that the merchants will die and the net will be broken?
Don't give it any chance!

Cheng Zheng laughed grimly, and sighed: "This person really thinks highly of us, he has calculated us to death, never gave us any chance to make trouble, and never allowed us to create more turmoil outside, and then affect the progress of the matter."

"It's really ruthless to guard so strictly."

The eyes of the others dimmed.

They are being targeted so hard right now that there is absolutely no room for resistance, so what should they do now?

Someone in the lobby whispered, "Then what should we do now?"

"What? Who knows?"

"Now that Qin Ting has put us through, what can we do? Doesn't it all depend on what Qin Ting thinks? Qin Ting wants us to live, and we may still have a chance. If Qin Ting wants us to die, I'm afraid we will die Death is not far away."

"Didn't Brother Feng say that if you take refuge in Qin Ting, you have a chance of survival, but if you don't, you will die."

"It's up to you to choose."

"Take refuge with the Qin people? It's ridiculous."

"It's clearly Qin Ting who caused us to be like this, but when he turned around, Qin Ting wanted to be our 'savior' instead. It's really a big joke in the world. If this spreads, I'm afraid I'll be poked by the world for the rest of my life Backbone, I can't afford to lose that person."

"It's really unreasonable, what is tolerable and unbearable."

"."

Five people were cursing in the lobby.

But no one dared to raise their voices, all of them only dared to whisper.

Outraged.

After a burst of scolding and drinking, Cheng Zheng reminded in a loud voice: "Everyone, don't forget that there is still salt and iron."

After a word fell, the surroundings became quiet again.

Feng Dong hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The iron and salt should be fine. Judging by Mr. Zhong's tone of voice, he might have already concluded that we transferred the iron and salt. May believe our defense."

"and"

Feng Dong paused, and continued: "It doesn't really matter whether we talk about it or not."

"As long as one person in the field says it."

"That's it."

"There are none!"

Everyone's eyes were rolling, obviously they all had their own thoughts.

But all of them did not speak.

Feng Dong was clearly aware of the situation.

The catastrophe is imminent.

They are businessmen, and they are even more familiar with this set.

Nobody wants to die.

And it could be the annihilation of the whole family.

Even with the eternal infamy on his back, no one can bear the consequences.

So he didn't think anyone would seek death.

Cheng Zheng looked around and said with a sneer: "Now that things are up to now, there is no need to deceive ourselves and cover up, the government will not believe us, maybe the government has found something, or it is just plain disbelief, but right now there is no makes any sense."

"Salt and iron is our open contract to the government."

"If you want to survive, you can only hand it in."

"No."

"Then we can only wait to die."

"So there is no need to worry about salt and iron."

"The government shouldn't embarrass us, and they may even blame this on a few other people, but." Cheng Zheng sneered and reminded: "There are only five people on our side now, and six people on Cao Bingsheng's side. , the amount of salt and iron in their hands is much larger than ours, if they fall to the government, I'm afraid we may not be able to preserve it."

"after all."

"This time the incident is so big, it is destined to need someone to end it."

"It's not them, it's us!"

"So open the skylight and speak brightly, set things up in advance, don't pretend to be profound here, and make yourself so mysterious. If Cao Bingsheng and others take the lead because of this, I'm afraid I will regret my pretended posture when I die. "

The others smiled awkwardly.

They still agreed with what Cheng Zheng said.

Although this Mr. Zhong said verbally that he did not invite the other six people, but who knows that he did not invite, will the eldest son invite them?Once one party compromises, the other party is destined to suffer. Who wants to be the tragic person in this incident?

Someone in the lobby said, "It seems that everyone agrees."

"Then let's settle it like this."

"Anyway, it's better to die than to live."

"During this time, due to the government's pressure, the number of people in our respective clans has decreased a lot, which can be regarded as an alternative way of throttling. Even if those shares are still maintained in the future, the profits of the clans will be much higher, which should be higher than in the previous few months. Much better."

"Ha ha."

Hearing this person's words, everyone's face sank.

Only finally sighed helplessly.

It seems that the result is better, but the price is too heavy.

Too bad to face.

But right now they have no other choice.

Can only cut off the tail to survive.

Everyone picked up their tea bowls and sipped their tea.

After taking a few sips of tea, the tea in the bowl has almost bottomed out.

Feng Dong and Cheng Zheng didn't say anything more, and the others didn't intend to speak up either. Everyone lowered their heads tacitly, thinking about what to do later.

But Iron Salt can admit it.

But in the end, it is still necessary to be tactful and to shirk responsibility.

After all, what the government needs are 'clean' merchants.

a little.

There is no more tea in the teacup.

After dozens of breaths, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.

Feng Dong and the others were stunned, and hurried back to their respective positions, waiting for Mr. Zhong to arrive.

creak.

The closed door opened again.

Ji Heng, wearing an indifferent mask, stepped into the arena.

He stood at the door, letting the sun shine on his whole body, like a god that dazzles the world, people dare not look directly at him.

He glanced at the audience indifferently, and said without anger: "Have you thought about it clearly now?"

Cheng Zheng looked around and took the initiative to say: "I have considered it clearly. We were talking incoherently and abruptly, Mr. Zhong. After the time rewarded by Mr. Zhong, I have calmed down and understood Mr. Zhong's great kindness. , I am willing to be dispatched by the government.”

"Those salt and iron."

Cheng Zheng took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Maybe it is still there. When I asked each other in front, I was also shocked by this, but Mr. Zhong, please understand that when the salt and iron were transported away privately, it had nothing to do with me. , I don’t know about it, if Mr. Zhong hadn’t kept waking up, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have thought about it.”

"I wait in fear."

"I also ask Mr. Zhong to forgive me."

Other merchants quickly bowed and said, "Please forgive me, Mr. Zhong."

Ji Heng looked at the cautious crowd below, with a smile in his eyes, he slowly raised his hand, and calmly said: "Those who don't know are not to blame, what is there to blame?"

"I believe you are telling the truth."

"Thank you, Mr. Zhong, for your trust. I am very grateful." Cheng Zheng and others said quickly.

Ji Heng walked to the main seat, Shi Shiran sat down, and said: "Since you have discovered the clues of salt and iron, it is just right for me to invite you to come and discuss."

"Can we talk about salt and iron now?"
