The Southern Song Dynasty began with the apprenticeship of Huang Shang

Chapter 12
In Jiaxing City, the magistrate's yamen, Wang An really gathered all the wealthy households and merchants in Jiaxing City.

At this time, the prefect's yamen's lobby had exploded, and dozens of local gentry, rich households, and merchants were clamoring.

"We have been here for such a long time, why hasn't the magistrate showed up yet?"

"Yeah, I was called here before I had eaten, and I don't know why!"

"You're not bad. My concubine, who was just adopted, was taken out of the bed by the yamen servant after tasting it just once. Who should I talk to?"

"I heard that the Huaihe River broke its embankment, did the magistrate come to us for this matter?"

"Tch, what does the Huai River's embankment have anything to do with us?"

"It must be to collect money and food for disaster relief. The government has always done this."

"Everyone, don't make random guesses. Everyone knows how Mr. Wang has behaved these years. Would he do this? I don't believe it even if he is killed."

"I mean, in case, it's true, I hope everyone will work together, resist all, and don't promise him."

"Okay, okay, okay, let's do it!"

Everyone responded one after another, intending to unanimously reject it, and see what Wang Zhifu can do with them.

"Official Shen is here!"

At this time, the yamen servant stood outside the door and shouted, and everyone looked over.

As a merchant, Shen You owns a thousand acres of fertile land, a thousand acres of tea gardens, operates warehouses, and even monopolizes official salt. He is one of the best merchants in Jiaxing City.

Now he started to run the restaurant business again. It is said that his restaurant business is very good. Many restaurants buy wine from him and make a lot of money, which is much more than them. Everyone envies and hates him.

When everyone saw Shen You walking in with a boy about fourteen or fifteen years old, they stepped forward to say hello.

Shen Youyi nodded in greeting, but kept walking, and walked straight to a fat middle-aged man with a white face and beardless body.

"President Gu is here early!"

This person is Gu Cong, the chairman of the Jiaxing Chamber of Commerce. His business covers two prefectures and one state. He is definitely the richest man in Jiaxing.

"Mr. Shen is too polite. I heard that you started the restaurant business and took away my winery business?"

With a gloomy face, Gu Cong said to Shen You unceremoniously.

Looking at Gu Cong, the smile on Shen You's face gradually faded, and he said in a cold voice, "President Gu's words are wrong."

"The hustle and bustle is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle is for profit. The world's business is done by all the people in the world. The restaurant business is not something that only you and your family can do."

"I, Shen, didn't open the restaurant to your door, and second, I didn't come to rob your customers. If your business is not good, you don't find your own reasons, but blame me here. It's really unreasonable!"

"you………………"

Gu Cong's complexion changed drastically, he pointed his thick fingers at Shen You, his face flushed red.

Shen You's words are correct. Opening a restaurant depends on one's ability. The business of the Shen family's restaurant is good, which means that the Shen family's wine is good, but the Gu family's wine has always been the same. Even Gu Cong himself is tired of drinking it.

Suddenly, Gu Cong burst out laughing, and said to Shen You: "The official Shen is right, I, Gu, made a big wave, please don't take offense."

"After meeting with the magistrate, I, Gu, will be the host, and I will invite everyone to a banquet at the Shen Family Restaurant. Everyone must come, and the official Shen must not be absent!"

Shen You didn't know what Gu Cong was up to, but since Gu Cong apologized, Shen You didn't need to hold on anymore, so he agreed.

"My lord is here!"

At this time, the master walked in with Wang An, who was walking in all directions.

"I've seen adults!"

Everyone bent down to salute Wang An, while Wang An sat straight on the high hall.

Uncle Wang waved his hands and said, "Everyone, please sit down!"

Everyone was seated, and Gu Cong, the richest man in Jiaxing Mansion and the president of the Jiaxing Chamber of Commerce, took the lead and asked, "My lord, why did you call us here?"

Wang An glanced at Gu Cong, then looked at Shen You, and saw that the old god Shen You was there, closing his eyes and resting his mind, and sitting behind him was a young man about fourteen or fifteen years old, secretly angry.

"Okay, Shen You, let the government summon people, but you don't care about it. After this crisis is over, you will feel better!"

"Um"

Wang An cleared his throat and said, "That's right, the Huaihe River broke its embankment..."

Wang An told everyone about the situation, and finally said: "If we want to get through this test, we must work together. We have money to pay for money, and we have food to pay for food. I hope all the squires will donate generously."

After hearing Wang An's words, Shen You opened his eyes, and Yang Chengye looked at Wang An in disbelief.

The wisdom of the ancients is as deep as the ocean, so why is this magistrate so stupid?

You say that, how can these rich people agree to your request?Is it because I am stupid in reading and can't be flexible.

Sure enough, as soon as Wang An finished speaking, the squires shouted, especially Gu Cong, the chairman of the chamber of commerce, who yelled the loudest.

"How can this be done? Our money and food are not brought by strong winds, so donate as you say."

"Yes, this is the emperor's order to the magistrate, what has it to do with us?"

"Master Zhifu, once your upper lip and lower lip touch, it is too easy for us to give you money and food for your political achievements?"

At this moment, Gu Cong stood up and said, "My lord, forgive Gu for speaking bluntly. If you do this, you will dissatisfy all the squires, and you will definitely be in a stalemate. I am afraid that not only will your political achievements not be completed, but it will arouse public indignation, and the officials will force the people to rebel." At that time, even your position as the magistrate will not be guaranteed."

Hearing the different opinions from the squires below, Wang An felt dizzy for a while. Originally, he was not good at handling these matters, so he couldn't help but look at Shen You for help.

Shen You was also a little embarrassed, not knowing how to deal with the accountability of the squires.

Yang Chengye got up and said loudly: "Everyone, listen to me."

Yang Chengye looked at Shen You as he spoke, and Shen You nodded hastily, giving him an encouraging look.

"Who are you? We're discussing big things. Where did the kid come from to talk nonsense? Have you got a little education?"

"You're still young, let's go back to breastfeed!"

"Hahahaha"

Everyone looked at Yang Chengye and burst out laughing, even Wang An frowned, and glanced at Shen You easily.

Yang Chengye was neither humble nor overbearing, and said in a clear voice: "I, Yang Chengye, speak on behalf of my elder brother Shen Youshen, the official, I wonder if he is qualified enough?"

"Uh"

Hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded, but Gu Cong snorted coldly, and said in a lukewarm way: "Official Shen didn't speak, but sent out a little brat, he really has no one in his eyes!"

"President Gu's words are wrong!"

Shen You stood up and said, "I don't know if you have ambitions or not. In ancient times, there was Gan Luo who was 12 years old, and now my brother-in-law is ruling the roost. Don't underestimate people!"

"you……………"

Gu Cong trembled in anger at Shen You's words, and pointed at Shen You with a blushing face, not knowing what to say.

"My dear brother, don't listen to their barking, you should talk to the adults well."

Shen You's words scolded all the squires, not a few people were offended.
