The prince is five and a half years old, and he is reclaiming land and becoming a group favorite.

Although everyone here has some grudge against Li Ji Trading Company, and when the Wen family came to visit, they had already made plans to be settled by Li Ji Trading Company in the future.

But as the saying goes, peace brings wealth, and it is best not to get into a fight.

Either the Wen family will completely uproot Li Ji and they will reap the benefits, or Li Ji will blame the Wen family and they will drink the soup.

Shen Yu'an has been observing these people secretly, trying to see the smallest movements of each person. In the silence, he suddenly said: "The business gang, as the name suggests, supports each other and works together to become the price setter in our field. .”

This is a bit like Li Ji Trading Company, which after crushing other small trading firms, re-established grain prices, traditional Chinese medicine prices, etc...

At this time, everyone put away their thoughts and listened carefully to what Shen Yu'an said: "At the same time, the business gang also prohibits internal fighting. While strengthening yourself, you can use the collective strength to better protect yourself."

"am I right?"

The shopkeepers nodded slowly.

Although there are no merchant gangs in Mobei, there are merchant gangs in the capital, Jiangnan, and Lingnan areas.

Facts have proved that the development of these business gangs is very good.

Shen Yu'an said: "To be honest, for the current Wen family, our purpose is simpler, to use collective strength to protect ourselves."

As soon as these words came out, these shopkeepers spoke again. It was obvious that they did not want to miss Yan Yin, but they were not very willing to work hard for the Wen family and strive to get more benefits for themselves.

The Merchant Guild and Merchant Guild may sound nice and everyone helps each other, but in fact it is not the Merchant Guild leader who has the final say!

If they don't take advantage of it now to get more benefits, they will have to watch the Wen family run rampant in Mobei like Li Ji.

They refused to give in, but Shen Yuan's attitude was much tougher than the Wen people they had come into contact with before.

His confidence comes from the Emperor's promise to His Highness!

The negotiation reached a deadlock, Shen Yu'an took his time, and after entertaining him with delicious food and drinks, Shi Shiran returned to his mansion.

At this moment, everyone in the mansion was gathered in the center of the courtyard, admiring the boxes in the courtyard.

Shen Yu'an struggled to push away the crowd and was about to report today's situation to His Highness when he saw His Highness struggling to hold a roll of cloth that was taller than him, with a big smile on his face.

The little person was buried among the crowd and cloth, almost submerged.

He hummed twice, quickly put the cotton cloth back, patted the cotton cloth hard with his little hands, and the smile on his little face became slightly smaller.

Hey, he had been boasting to the emperor brother before, saying that he would give him a particularly good New Year gift, but now it seems that he may not be able to do so.

He touched the clothes on his body and felt that silk clothes were more comfortable.

Gu Yuzhi puffed out his face and said melancholy: "I wanted Brother Huang to wear cotton clothes before."

Huh, the emperor definitely doesn't like this kind of thing.

Not to mention the emperor's brother, the emperor's sisters-in-law probably wouldn't like this either.

Gu Yuzhi's face was melancholy, and he sighed deeply like a little adult.

Wen Xiuzhu said: "Your Highness, why don't you think about it in another way? Even if the emperor doesn't wear it, he can still reward the ministers with these cotton cloths."

Not everyone can wear silk clothes. Except for the royal family and nobles, the official uniforms of ministers are usually made of silk, while others are made of Gebu. Even the poorer officials basically wear linen at home.Although cotton is not as good as silk and is looked down upon by the royal family and nobles, it does not mean that these officials and wealthy businessmen look down upon it.

This cloth woven and dyed from cotton is much higher quality than Gebu.

Gu Yuzhi tilted his head and looked at Wen Xiuzhu, his big eyes rolled around, and after a while he clapped his hands: "Yes, yes! I can ask the emperor to give these pieces of cloth as a reward."

It's like he left part of the cotton cloth specifically for Xie Changshi, Chen Dianyi and the others!
Gu Yuzhi waved his little hand, and his childish voice returned to its previous cheerful tone: "Pack them all up and have them sent to the capital by Guard Qi in two days."

Xie Changshi had made arrangements, and Guard Qi escorted Guard Shen and the shopkeepers to the capital to buy salt.

When the people from Li Ji Trading Company find out that they can no longer buy salt, they might take action against Guard Shen and others along the way.

Gu Yuzhi snorted and thought to himself that he must send more people to protect Guard Shen and the others this time. After all, Guard Shen had to take a road from Jiangzhou to Huizhou Saltworks.

At that time, they will not only face Li Yanping, but also Brother Chu.

Gu Yuzhi gave an order, and the guards covered the box and carried it directly to the carriage. In two days, the guards and others could pull it away.

After watching the excitement, all the people in the mansion finally dispersed and went about their own business.

Only then did Shen Yuan have the opportunity to step forward and whisper what happened today.

Gu Yuzhi's face tightened and he nodded repeatedly. After Shen Yu'an finished speaking, he looked at Xie Changshi and said with a worried look on his face: "Xie Changshi, will these shopkeepers agree tomorrow?"

If they don't agree, then won't their business gang be unable to be established?

Wen Xiuzhu opened his fan and Xie Changshi touched his beard. Both of them looked particularly relaxed.

Gu Yuzhi looked back and forth between Shopkeeper Wen and Xie Changshi, thinking with a sullen face, could it be that the situation of Guard Shen today is not so difficult?

He scratched his head and heard Xie Changshi explain: "I and His Highness have different ideas, and tomorrow these shopkeepers will definitely agree."

The next moment, Wen Xiuzhu's voice sounded: "Because I don't want the huge wealth that I'm about to get to slip away, so I'm arguing."

Gu Yuzhi looked confused. If it weren't for profit, these shopkeepers wouldn't come to Changzhou!
What Shopkeeper Wen is saying is nonsense!
But this thought was fleeting, because both Teacher Shu and Xie Changshi taught him to respect teachers and respect their moral principles...

Gu Yuzhi shrank his shoulders, quietly stuck out his tongue, and rolled his big eyes. He didn't look at Shopkeeper Wen, so he naturally didn't think deeply about it. He muttered, "Why?"

Wen Xiuzhu chuckled: "Your Highness, you can ask Guard Shen if one of the shopkeepers said he wanted to leave today?"

Gu Yuzhi hurriedly turned to look at Guard Shen, and saw Guard Shen shaking his head and saying, "No!"

Xie Changshi and Liu Dianyi had said that as long as a shopkeeper revealed the slightest intention to leave, he would immediately terminate the negotiation and send someone to send the person away.

But now that I think about it carefully, no matter how loud the shopkeepers were, they didn't show any intention of leaving.

Xie Changshi whispered: "Your Highness, don't worry, tomorrow is the deadline, and these shopkeepers will compromise tomorrow."

Shen Yu'an is testing these people, so why aren't these shopkeepers testing Shen Yu'an?

If Shen Yu'an shows any hesitation or worry today, he will be led by the bosses.

Shu Xiaohan obviously understood, looking up and lamenting: "They are all old foxes who are thousands of years old, what kind of idle chat are they doing here!" (End of Chapter)
