Your Majesty, please beg for mercy. The prince's rebellion was successful.

The elders are discussing matters! ?

When Su Xun'er heard these four words, her expression suddenly changed, and she looked a little panicked.

The so-called clan elders' meeting was the Su family's original meeting system.

In order to prevent the patriarch from becoming incompetent and to allow the family to develop in an orderly manner, the family's development plans and core affairs need to be discussed together by the seven elders.

Even the clan leader cannot object to the result reached by the seven clan leaders.

In this way, the patriarch's misbehavior can be restricted to the greatest extent, and the orderly development of the entire family can be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

At critical moments for the Su family, the system of elders' meetings helped the family overcome many crises.

However, the system of elders' deliberation ultimately conflicts with the system of patriarchs.

Therefore, later on, some clan leaders who used tough measures gradually abolished the clan elders' deliberation system.

Up to this point, the Su family had not had a system of elders’ meetings for a hundred years.

Once the system of elders' deliberation is restored, the rights of future families will be greatly affected.

Su Xun'er knew very well that when Su Ming came back at that time, he would probably be so angry that he would vomit blood.

After all, Su Ming's status and prestige in the Su family would never allow the emergence of a clan elder system.

It turns out that this is the key to this meeting.

These elders are not interested in wine, but in the clan elders' meeting system!

"Or, agree to raise the price."

"Or, restore the clan elder system."

"Xun'er, don't say that we elders bully you."

"Everything is for the Su family."

The Great Elder Su Jian continued to explain in a deep voice.

The other elders couldn't help but nodded.

The elders had already made preparations for today's meeting. Not only had they put aside all other matters, they had also secretly colluded and discussed everything long ago.

Seeing this scene, even Su Xun'er's face turned pale.

"All of you uncles are my predecessors, and you are the most loyal and loyal members of the Su family."

"Do you know if what we are doing today is worthy of our father? Are we worthy of His Majesty's trust in our Su family?"

Su Xun'er bit her red lips tightly, her eyes full of unwillingness.

The Su family is a prominent family and is also very successful in the business world.

There is nothing wrong with the so-called price increase. After all, the purpose of doing business is to maximize profits.

but!

The thing they want to raise the price of is not cloth, tea, horses, porcelain and other businesses, but salt!

Zhou Zheng has repeatedly stressed that the prices of necessities of life must not be raised!

All distribution and sales of salt are franchises given to the Su family by Zhou Zheng.

It is precisely because of such products that the Su family has been able to expand its business throughout the Great Zhou.

“Xun’er, we are not raising the price randomly, but for the development of the Su family.”

"The Su family is now the number one family in the Great Zhou Dynasty. The daily expenses of the Su family alone are astronomical."

"It's just a slight price increase. Even ordinary people won't notice it. Why are you so stubborn?!"

"Don't forget that the development of the Su family comes first!"

Seeing Su Xun'er's attitude, Su Jian ignored her and smiled coldly instead.

They have been coveting the price of salt for a long time.

Once the price of salt increases by 10%, the entire Su family's profit will be an astronomical figure.

With this money, Su Jian can develop better.

Of course, the most important thing is that all the elders present here will get the greatest benefit.

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

"The price of salt must not be changed, not to mention 10%, even 1% is unacceptable."

"As long as I am the one in charge of the Su family, I will never allow it."

Su Xun'er raised her head, her neck a little red due to excitement.

If the Su family dares to raise the price of salt today, they will dare to take action against the paper industry tomorrow, and in the future they will dare to control the business of the entire world!

Su Xun'er would never allow such a thing to happen.

"It seems that Xun'er is determined not to agree!?"

Seeing Su Xun'er like this, the Great Elder snorted coldly and his face turned gloomy.

"That's right!"

Su Xun'er clenched her fists, and she and the Great Elder looked into each other's eyes, showing no sign of backing down.

It’s a pity that such an attitude and appearance only made the Great Elder a little surprised.

After all, Su Xun'er had not been so tough in the past period of time.

After exchanging a glance with the other elders, the Great Elder Su Jian finally shook his head slowly.

"In that case, let's restore the elders' meeting system."

"As long as you agree to restore the elders' meeting system, I promise that the price of salt in the Great Zhou will never change."

"Even if the Su family pays for it in the future, the price will never increase!"

After thinking for a while, the Great Elder raised his head again and spoke.

It was as if he had made a huge concession and sacrifice.

But Su Xun'er had already seen clearly that this was just something they had planned for a long time!

"What if Xun'er doesn't agree?"

Su Xun'er shouted coldly.

She knew that today, she had no way out.
