Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 509 We are united and resist together

The news that the grandson of the Ming Dynasty purchased raw silk at a price higher than the normal market price began to spread throughout Suzhou Prefecture.

With the help of Jin Yiwei and the promotion of the government, the news spread quickly. It didn't take long before it spread to all the silkworm farmers.

Many sericulture farmers heard that an emperor's grandson was buying raw silk at a high price, and they began to get ready to collect their own raw silk and prepare to sell it.

This news soon reached Shen Bin.

Shen Bin was still unhappy because of the requisition of ships. Although the number of damaged ships was not large, it seriously delayed his water transportation and lost a lot of business.

After being expropriated, they were not compensated.

Zhu Xuan didn't consider the need for compensation, but Zhou Anyan did, but was unwilling to spend money and pretended that he didn't know what to do.

compensate?

nonexistent.

Shen Bin was a little angry and dissatisfied now, but he didn't dare to directly contradict Zhu Xuan, knowing that he didn't have the ability.

Not long after he burned the White Lotus Sect's invitation, all the bandits on Mowu Mountain were wiped out, the entire Suzhou Prefecture was sealed off, and a large number of soldiers hunted down the White Lotus Sect people everywhere.

Zhu Xuan even opened a nationwide report. Anyone who is found to have a lotus tattoo on his body and the report is confirmed to be from the White Lotus Sect will receive a thousand tael bonus.

Shen Bin secretly rejoiced that he had made the right choice and did not rebel in a hot-headed way.

However, people in ancient times had tattoos on their bodies, which was equivalent to tattoos. In short, they were prisoners. Except for people like the White Lotus Sect, no one was willing to get tattoos on themselves.

It won't have much impact.

However, Shen Bin was unhappy with what Zhu Xuan did in Suzhou Mansion. He didn't dare to resist in other ways, but he thought commercial resistance was still okay.

After all, in business, the one with the highest price wins.

What is pursued is profit.

It is understandable and normal to use some small commercial means.

Shen Bin gathered businessmen from Suzhou Prefecture in his home and said: "The little emperor's grandson is now buying a large amount of raw silk just to continue to compete with us for interests. What will lead foreign businessmen to come to our Jiangnan is just his excuse! He has collected all the raw silk. Who else can we trade with when foreign businessmen arrive? It must be him."

As soon as this statement came out, it was recognized by many people.

They temporarily ignored the fact that they still had a lot of inventory at home.

Zhu Xuan's acquisition of raw silk in this way will indeed break their market balance.

"Brother Shen means not to buy raw silk for him?"

Suzhou businessman Li Jun asked.

Shen Bin nodded and said: "That's right! He deliberately raised the price in order to seize our interests. We can buy back all the raw silk at a higher price."

Another Suzhou businessman, Zhao Jian, said: "But if we do this, will we offend His Highness the Little Emperor?"

Shen Bin said calmly: "We are just doing business normally. We feel that the price of raw silk in Suzhou is too low, so we raise the price specifically to make the sericulture farmers below profit. What can this do? It's all normal."

When they heard it, they thought it made sense.

Do business.

Prices may be high or low, normal operation

Shen Bin added: "My ability alone is limited, I hope you can help me, otherwise our interests will be robbed by the little emperor grandson. Not only will we not be able to sell, but we will have no goods to sell, so we will have to farm."

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, merchants had the lowest status.

But the work of farmers and craftsmen is the hardest.

Their businessmen can make money and enjoy themselves by doing business, so why are they willing to farm?
  Shen Bin's words made them feel the crisis.

Zhu Xuan must not be allowed to succeed and their interests in Suzhou must be protected.

"If Brother Shen opens his mouth, we will fully support him."

"We Suzhou businessmen are united and united. For our own benefit, we cannot let the little emperor's grandson succeed."

"I'll go back right away and ask someone to raise the price for purchasing raw silk."

"Me too!"

……

The businessmen spoke one after another and agreed with Shen Bin's proposal.

They don't want to farm.

Seeing this, Shen Bin smiled with satisfaction. Ever since, Zhu Xuan raised the price to purchase raw silk. Not long after this, all the merchants in Suzhou Prefecture also raised the price of raw silk.

The mentioned price is a bit higher than Zhu Xuan's.

When the silkworm farmers heard this, they immediately became excited.

They think, why are Suzhou businessmen this year suddenly so proud?
  But no matter how arrogant they are, the farmers will sell to whomever offers the higher price. What matters is that the one with the highest price gets it, and there is no need to fear the little emperor's grandson.

What's more, Zhu Xuan has never bullied them before.

Not long after Zhu Xuan raised the price, many people came to sell raw silk.

Cen Jing is responsible for this matter.

At the beginning, I received some raw silk.

The price given by Zhu Xuan was not low, and many people lined up to sell it.

But while queuing, a person came over and said, "The Shen family has also started to sell raw silk, and the price is even higher than here."

"what?"

"Is the Shen family's price even higher?"

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true, I just sold it..."

……

A sound of exclamation echoed in the queue.

As a result, all the people in line picked up their raw silk and ran away.

They will sell to whomever offers the higher price.

"I won't sell it anymore, I won't sell mine anymore!"

Some people's raw silk is already being weighed.

But after receiving this news, I quickly put it away and ran away. They all shouted that they would not sell it anymore, and they were all gone in an instant.

Those who had sold raw silk were now so regretful that they almost cried, begging Cen Jing to return the goods to them, wanting to take it back and sell it to the Shen family.

Cen Jing received Zhu Xuan's order and agreed to return the goods.

Those people were so happy that they shouted twice about Your Highness's benevolence and Your Highness's thousand years old, and then ran away.

"It's so annoying!"

Cen Jing has been doing business with Zhu Xuan for so long, and has never experienced such aggrievedness.

Those farmers who raise silkworms are so deceptive!
  You can also ask yourself to return the raw silk that has been sold.

Or does the seller require the buyer to return the goods?

Zhu Xuan said calmly: "It is a good thing to let ordinary farmers benefit. It allows them to earn more businessmen's money, but those businessmen will soon have to beg us."

"Your Highness's clever plan, they can't escape."

Cen Jing felt better now.

Next, let's wait for those businessmen to purchase in large quantities.

In order to attack Zhu Xuan, the merchants were very aggressive in purchasing raw silk. They unified the price and attracted merchants from all over Suzhou Prefecture.

Shen Bin and the others paid a lot of money.

Another large amount of raw silk entered the warehouse.

The more they acquire now, the more they can imagine how helpless Zhu Xuan will be then.

"Master, our warehouse is almost full."

"The goods in the past two years have not been cleared, and now we have purchased a large amount of raw silk. If we cannot digest it, it will have a great impact on us."

The steward of their Shen family said worriedly.

Shen Bin said: "Don't worry, just let me collect it. As for the inventory problem, I will find a solution!"

When the time comes, he will use these goods to negotiate with Zhu Xuan and take advantage of the situation to take most of the interests of the trading port into his own hands.
