I smashed the emperor's daughter

Chapter 84 Night Party
On this night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and a village in Xijin Township, Daxing County, in the southern suburbs of the capital, was filled with darkness.

At this time, an old farmer got up at night and was attracted by the light not far away in his yard; he squinted his eyes and looked over, and after seeing the light source clearly, he had a question:
After all, the biggest house in the village is still lit. Don't those wealthy households know how to save some money on gas?

Naturally, the old farmer would not know that all the rich merchants in the capital are now in this house; they gathered here secretly because they had an important matter to discuss.

The village was extremely quiet, and the occasional chirping of crows could reverberate in the night sky for a while; but the inner hall of the mansion was a different scene, with a group of people chattering endlessly, and the scene was extremely noisy.

Those who came to participate in this gathering were naturally the speakers sent by various dignitaries in the capital. Although these businessmen were not powerful and wealthy, they were the leaders of all walks of life in the capital.

But it was these leaders in various industries who were arguing in the brightly lit inner hall at this time, and some people even wanted to fight while arguing.

A businessman with a dark complexion and a big waist was attacking the person next to him:
"Treasurer Li, yesterday when my staff bought the treasures, the person who intervened arbitrarily and maliciously raised the price was sent by your faction?
There has long been a tacit understanding between the various families, the first to find the first to buy, you are breaking the rules by acting like this.

As a businessman, reputation is the most important thing. You have turned your back on your word, how come you have the face to come here! "

The person who was questioned did not show any weakness, and immediately retorted: "You charcoal seller, why did you pour dirty water on my head, is it because you are jealous of the other family's capital?

In my opinion, if you don't have the capital, you can just take the money you earn now and let it go. Don't slap your face in it and pretend to be fat! "

"What did you say!"

The fat black man who made his fortune selling charcoal in the capital immediately became anxious when he heard the words, and rushed to people to argue:
"Everyone here speaks with a Sichuan accent. Among the capital, apart from the few Shu brocade shops you opened, which one would recruit so many people from Jinguancheng?"

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his two strong arms to go up and grab the collar of Shopkeeper Li.

"Don't quarrel, both of you. Since you are here to discuss matters, peace is the most important thing."

A well-dressed businessman next to the two people saw this and smoothed things over. Unexpectedly, the two quarreling people reacted surprisingly unanimously, shouting at the same time:

"I want you to talk more!"

This disruptor who appeared out of nowhere in the market was naturally arranged by Li Yuntang.

In the team that raised the price, he found many characteristics similar to those of the merchants' employees; in addition, the acquisition was shady and ambiguous, which caused mutual suspicion and conflicts among the merchants.

Just as the situation in the hall was getting more and more out of control, there was a loud and clear sound of broken porcelain, which immediately attracted the attention of dozens of people present.

I saw a man in his forties standing in front of the head, who was scanning the dozens of people present. Judging from the movements of his hands, the sound of throwing the porcelain just now was made by this man.

Almost all the merchants present recognized this person - his name was Liang Yijia, his ancestral home was in Shenzhou, Liaodong, and he was the largest fur merchant in Zhili Province.

He came to the capital from outside the pass, but in just two or three years, he has accumulated a huge family business, which can be said to be proficient in the way of breeding goods; It's a bit of a reputation.

Therefore, under the instructions of the various dignitaries, he took the lead in this gathering, and it was agreed here.

Seeing that the hall finally became quiet, Liang Yijia took his seat, and made a gesture of invitation with his hand, signaling that everyone should also sit down and discuss in detail, and at the same time comforted him:

"Everyone who came to this desolate place late at night must not have come here for a chat; if that's the case, then you should sit down and talk calmly!"

After finishing this sentence, Liang Yijia paused, and first observed the faces of everyone on the field. Seeing that some of them were relieved, some were indifferent, and some were disdainful, he made a rough estimate in his heart, and then continued:

"Over the past ten days, Breti's envoys have bought precious banknotes, and let me wait for the merchants to make some money; but a strange image appeared:
The prices for foreigners are gradually increasing, but the benefits we get are getting lower and lower!

The reason is that we have internal strife and scrambled for acquisitions. "

What Liang Yijia said was fair.The rise in the price of treasure banknotes is certainly due to Li Yuntang's promotion, but it is not the only factor; method.

"Boss Liang, there have been rumors in the market recently that the amount of precious banknotes that the emperor has distributed is far from being so large. A large part of the valuable banknotes on the market were secretly sold by those nobles of the Western Army!"

Shopkeeper Li, who sells Shu brocade, took the lead in taking over the quarrel, and then re-spoken to remove the suspicion of his family:
"This behavior of raising prices is more likely to be done by their nobles. How can they rely on us, our own family?"

Hearing the words "my family", the dozens of merchants in the hall almost all let out large or small laughter at the same time.

When their relationship was at its best, they could only be described as close in appearance, and some even regarded each other as enemies, wishing to take the other's family property as their own before giving up.

Now that these people with different thoughts can sit here, it is mainly because the backers behind them ask them to attend.

"If you want to make money, the best way for me to wait is, as shopkeeper Li said, advance and retreat together like a family, and unify the price at the time of purchase, so as to obtain the greatest profit."

Liang Yijia saw the needle, and took advantage of the previous words to provoke the response of most people in the hall, and took advantage of the opportunity to propose the main purpose of this rally; but this purpose immediately stirred up thousands of waves.

Those who have less property at home almost immediately think of how much the price should be set. If the unified price is set so much, wouldn't that be equivalent to driving them out?
As for the group with a strong family background, they raised their prices the most a few days ago, so they spent a lot of money. These people think that unifying the price will weaken their own advantages, so they are not interested in this matter.

But more people are still undecided, thinking about how much they can earn.

Among the dozens of people, no one proposed how to implement this matter so that everyone was satisfied.

Seeing that the chaos below was worse than before he came, Liang Yijia frowned. Before the discussion meeting officially started, there were vaguely difficult to reconcile contradictions among the participants.

　Grandma's house was going to build a small house, and she was called to help out after work, and it was almost ten o'clock today when work was over.

　　I thought it was so late, and I heard that there was a problem with the writer’s backstage, so I wanted to find an excuse to ask for leave, but thinking about 2k every day, I still feel that I don’t have this face, so I’m a little late, I hope you forgive me...
