"Brother Jia, we still need your full support to settle the prices this time. You also know that I have limited information."
Xun Yu raised his hand in request.
"Of course, these people challenge the authority of the Lord, we naturally cannot let them go, maybe we can take this opportunity to make a fortune."
Jia Xu said sadly.
After finishing speaking, he returned to the palace. Now that Su Beichen was not in the palace, he couldn't leave for too long. After all, the palace was their base camp, and someone needed to be in command to prevent people from messing around.
Xun Yu called several of his cronies, and after telling them a few words, he asked them to investigate the inside story of the soaring prices.
As long as the evidence is solid, he will lead his troops to arrest these restless guys, deal with them severely, and let everyone know one thing, how stupid it is to challenge the current Da Sima.
Following Xun Yu's order, all the industries affiliated to the Da Sima Mansion began to operate at full capacity, and began to purchase large-scale relief supplies for the victims, regardless of the price, just purchase.
For a while, all the major shops in [Emperor Capital City] were making crazy money.
Near noon, Linqing Guild Hall.
The underground palace!
At this time, seven big bosses gathered here quietly, as if they were plotting something.
"Master Special Envoy, Su Beichen's minions have compromised and started purchasing supplies regardless of the cost. It seems that Su Beichen is taking this opportunity to buy people's hearts."
The head of the Liu family, Liu Mingren, looked at the old man sitting at the top in awe, and reported on today's situation.
"How did you get today?"
the old man asked.
"Returning to the special envoy, this morning, our chambers of commerce made a total of 300 million taels of silver, which can be described as a huge profit."
Liu Mingren said excitedly.
"It's not just this price. I've heard people say that you only earn Su Beichen's money, not only 300 million taels of silver. What's more, the soaring prices have triggered a crazy buying spree. The profits of your major chambers of commerce are at least 800 million taels." superior."
"Let me speak on behalf of my master, we want to extract three layers of profits."
The old man said very wisely.
"What? Three levels! My lord special envoy, isn't this too much? Our major chambers of commerce also have costs and risks. We have discussed that we can give [that person] a commission for the two levels."
When Liu Mingren heard this, his flesh ached.
Everything is just as the special envoy said, the combined profits of their major chambers of commerce are not small, but if these profits are divided, it is not much.
Besides, they still have a lot to do.
In the end, not many can enter their pockets.
"This, my master doesn't care. If the profit is not enough, you can continue to increase the price. Anyway, you can rest assured that our master is behind you to support you."
The old man is extremely powerful.
"This, Mr. Special Envoy, two and a half floors, is it possible?"
Liu Mingren, as the temporarily elected representative of the major chambers of commerce in the imperial capital, is still fighting for reason. After all, for businessmen like them, profit is their life.
"Liu Mingren, now that Su Beichen is in control of the court, if he strongly supports Xu Bin's reforms and re-imposes commercial taxes, your losses will be even greater, right?"
The old man, he has found out the veins of these businessmen, so he is not afraid that these profiteers will not bow their heads.
"What? Taxation of merchants? Is this news true?"
Liu Mingren's expression changed greatly upon hearing this.
The main tax in Daliang today is the land tax, and the commercial tax is only collected in industries such as salt and iron, but the collection standard is quite low.
If the imperial court really levy business tax, it would undoubtedly be a fatal blow to their merchants.
They cannot allow this to happen.
"You also know what Xu Bin, an old guy, advocates. He advocates financial and tax reforms, re-measures land, collects commercial taxes, increases taxes on salt and iron, and increases sea taxes. The reason why he has not succeeded over the years is also Our master is mediating behind the scenes, you must not forget our master's contribution."
Elderly, analyze.
"Master Special Envoy, don't get me wrong, we can promise a three-tier commission, but we also hope [that person] can give us a guarantee that the commercial tax cannot be restarted."
Liu Mingren said.
"Of course, imposing commercial tax is not only a bad thing for you, but also a bad thing for our master. Naturally, we will spare no effort to oppose and stop it."
The old man said quite satisfied.
The three-tier bonus is an astronomical profit.
If they have money, they can recruit soldiers, forge weapons, and recruit experts. In the future, the master of their family will definitely win this big beam world, and there is no room for loss.
"Good! Deal."
Liu Mingren agreed to this cooperation condition on behalf of the major chambers of commerce.
The other five present were also important members of the major chambers of commerce. They did not express their views throughout the whole process, because they acquiesced in Liu Mingren's choice, and they needed the support and protection of [that person].
The two parties signed the agreement.
Draw a charge.
Chapter 83 The assassination failed, Yuwen Mengxue was arrested
"Okay, sister Xiao Min, take a rest first and let Cui Nong replace you."
After Wang Min personally worked for two hours, Su Beichen couldn't bear her to continue to suffer, so he asked Cui Nong to replace her and continue to distribute bread and other food.
"Okay! Cui Nong, thank you for your hard work."
Wang Min was also a little sore and tired, and he didn't refuse Su Beichen's concern.
Su Beichen asked people to prepare the fruit.
"Come on, sister Xiao Min, eat a pear and quench your thirst."
This pear has a juicy skin and is very sweet.
"Thank you, Brother Beichen."
Wang Min gently wiped off the sweat on his forehead, his face was full of joy.
The two rested for a while, and Su Beichen proposed to visit the imperial mausoleum not far away. Some time ago, he had a task to sign in to the imperial mausoleum, and what kind of seed gift bag was the reward.
I wasn't optimistic about this reward at first, but now that I came to the Eastern Suburb Imperial Tomb and signed it by the way, I thought it was a trip to the mountains and rivers.
Along the way, the mountains and rivers of the imperial mausoleum in the eastern suburbs came into view. As expected of the imperial mausoleum, the scenery here is unique, with green mountains and green water.
"Brother Beichen, why don't we sit down and have a rest, okay? I'm tired."
Wang Min suddenly stopped walking and said.
"It's okay, I have a solution."
While Su Beichen was speaking, a gorgeous [Princess Hug] hugged Wang Min.
Afterwards, he strode toward the imperial mausoleum in stride.
"Brother Beichen, why are you so nice to me?"
Wang Minzhen buried his head in Su Beichen's chest and asked softly.
She could tell that Su Beichen loved her extremely.
It's just that she was very curious. At the beginning, Su Beichen even called off their marriage because of Han Menger. Why does he love her so much now?
This question has actually been lingering in her heart for a long time, but she has never dared to ask the reason, she is afraid of losing this favor.
"Sister Xiao Min, you actually want to ask me why I am so nice to you all of a sudden? I broke off the engagement with you because of Meng'er, right?"
Su Beichen has been a human being for two lifetimes, how amazing his eyesight is at this moment, how could he fail to guess what Wang Min was thinking in his heart.
However, he will not tell the other party the secret of his two lives.
Even his parents can't say this.
Of course, he prepared his speech well in advance.
"Brother Beichen, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have doubted you."
Like a child who did something wrong, Wang Min buried his head in Su Beichen's chest and escaped.
"Sister Xiao Min, in fact, this matter is related to the struggle between the imperial court and our Northern Liang Palace. You also know that, as the heir of Beiliang, I live in the imperial capital all year round. Our fear in Beiliang is getting bigger and bigger, I know in my heart that the two sides will go to war one day, in order not to hurt your royal family, I can only divorce you and marry Meng'er."
Against his will, Su Beichen interpreted his original "seeing sex and forgetting righteousness" as a righteous sacrifice for love.
"Brother Beichen, this, I'm sorry, I really didn't know that you had to bear so much back then, because Xiao Min is ignorant, not only can't understand your difficulties, but also doubts you."
When Wang Min heard this, don't mention how moved he was.
In Su Beichen's arms, she apologized repeatedly.
Su Beichen's reasons were seamless, reasonable, and perfect.
She couldn't believe it.
"Okay, sister Xiao Min, we are childhood sweethearts, we have a deep relationship, and I won't take any grievances to heart, as long as you can understand my painstaking efforts."
Su Beichen's acting skills are definitely at the [Oscar Best Actor] level. If Wang Min is fooled around, she is afraid that now that Su Beichen sells her, she will still count the money for Su Beichen with a smile.
"call out!"
A sharp figure flew over from a distance.
"Dog thief, die."
"No, there are assassins."
Seeing this, the accompanying guards immediately protected Su Beichen and Wang Min in the middle, and they watched the invading enemy in full battle.
"Arrangement!"
"Seventh rank assassin!"
Su Beichen saw through the other party's cultivation in an instant, but, to his surprise, the other party was a delicate girl.
A tight pink skirt set off the other party's perfect figure.
This woman didn't even cover her face.
"Crazy assassin!"
Su Beichen narrowed his eyes.
"Caught alive."
"Yes!"
The accompanying guards this time are all first-class masters, and there are many of them of the sixth and seventh ranks, especially the two leading ones, not only have the cultivation base of the middle seventh rank, but also have the combat power to rival the late seventh rank.
Swish swish! !
The girl in the pink skirt flew over quickly, swiping her sword and fighting with a group of guards.
Her swordsmanship is tricky, ruthless, and fast.
In just a few rounds, several guards were wounded, and they rushed towards Su Beichen step by step.
"Dog thief, if you kill my parents and elder brother, this princess will definitely kill you, a rat who killed the emperor and seized power."
Amidst the girl in the pink skirt shouting coquettishly, the sword in her hand suddenly glowed red.
"Falling style!"
With a single sword move, the dozens of guards who intercepted her were instantly injured by her sword energy, and all of them flew backwards.
"Such handsome swordsmanship!"
Su Beichen held Wang Min in his arms, and couldn't help but praise the girl in the pink skirt for her really handsome swordsmanship just now.
From the other party's words, he roughly guessed that the other party might be [Qinghe King] Yu Wenyong's daughter, Yuwen Mengxue.
According to Jin Yiwei's information, when this girl was 13 years old, she was exceptionally accepted as a true disciple by a hermit sect because of her excellent talent.
"Brother Beichen, I recognize her. She is Yuwen Mengxue. We were at the same table when we were studying in the Imperial College when we were young. She fought very fiercely at that time."
Wang Min said suddenly after seeing Yuwen Mengxue.
"Really? It seems that I killed Yu Wenyong, and she came to kill me."
