old version

It was just the time when the sun was setting. When you looked up, you could see the thick clouds and mist entrenched in the sky. The setting sun could only see through the cracks in the clouds and mist, just like the scales that occasionally rolled out of the sea.

Nanny Peng had already left the other courtyard this morning and went back to the palace, counting the time, this nanny seemed to have stayed in the other courtyard for seven or eight days.I want to come here to see how the princess's husband's family is and how their character is...

"My lord, Nanny Peng has already returned to the palace."

"Well, are all the shopkeepers of the merchants our people or..."

Shang Zihan has been in Luoyang City for more than a month, and the shopkeepers have never seen anyone other than the initial gift.I don't even know what it is doing.

"Yes."

The merchant has a restaurant in Luoyang City, and the name is very casually called Shang's Restaurant.The diners in this restaurant are very chaotic, including ordinary people, disciples of all religions and high-level officials, and they can be regarded as everything.

In order to make the restaurant's business flourish, the shopkeeper of the restaurant even hired a sharp-tongued, humorous storyteller to sit in charge.

Shang's restaurant has five floors. This floor is commonly known as the lobby. There are many ordinary people and people of all religions. From the second floor onwards, people with some money are resident, and the third floor is where an official's son often goes.Above the third floor is the private room that has been reserved by people all the year round, and generally people will not let people come up at will.And today, ten people went up in total...

Sharp-eyed people can see that these ten people have extraordinary wealth, no matter which one is the leader in Luoyang City.

Shang Zihan arrived one step earlier than these people, but she didn't go up to the fourth floor, but sat down and rested in a private room on the third floor, which was more secluded.At this moment, Shang Zihan had only Yeling by his side. Ye Yu was sent back to the Shang Mansion early in the morning by Shang Zihan to see how things were going in the South Courtyard.

Although the other courtyard is good, it is not comfortable to live in after all without much maintenance.

"My lord, those shopkeepers today are not all from Daxi, so you don't have to make it clear. Just listen to what they say and deal with it carefully."

"It seems that the old man did a good job, saving his life was not in vain."

"Young Master is right. In just ten years, the properties of merchants have been spread all over Ze Country. Among them, there are hundreds of properties with Shang's family, and there are probably quite a few without them. This old man is indeed worth saving."

Shang Zihan picked up a cup of tea and took a small sip, "He has the talent for business, and I contribute money and he contributes, so it's only natural for everyone to get what they need. It's just that they seem to be jumping around a bit too much these days. You should find a chance to have a good time Knock knock don't take him too far."

"My subordinate understands."

After a while, Shang Zihan walked to the private room on the fourth floor.

At this moment, those people in the private room on the fourth floor were waiting impatiently.Today, one of them is not a well-known merchant in Luoyang City, and this time it was obviously Shang Zihan's post, but it turned out that they were late and made them wait for so long.Now he is even more motivated to teach Shang Zihan a lesson, to let him understand that even though he is now the prince's son-in-law, he still has to abide by the etiquette that he should have.

Just when these shopkeepers wanted to show Shang Zihan their power, the door of the private room opened.The shopkeeper's eyes swept over, and he saw Shang Zihan stepping in quickly, watching the man wave his hand and said, "Everyone has been waiting for a long time. Sit down."

"..." In that case, let's sit down and have a good talk.

"I invite you here today to talk about the treaty made three years ago. Now that the three-year period has expired, it's time to sign a new one." As soon as Shang Zihan finished speaking, Yeling took out the treaty that had already been written from his sleeve. Good contracts are distributed to the ten shopkeepers in turn.The ten shopkeepers looked at each other in blank dismay, and when they looked at the contract carefully, their expressions became ugly.

"Sir Shang, this contract is different from previous years."

"You said it was a contract, so it's different from previous years. Could it be that the price of the item hasn't changed in three years?" The folding fan in Shang Zihan's hand snapped open and shook gently. "Shopkeeper Zhang, your cloth shop has been in Luoyang City for seven or eight years. No matter whether it is ordinary people or high-ranking officials, they like to go to your place to get goods. Last year's new Lin Luo satin is even more popular. You are not taking advantage of this. Opportunity to make a lot of money."

"Even so, I deserve it. It's just that Mr. Shang has a really big appetite, and he's going to take [-]% of my Jinxiu Cloth Manor's profit in one go."

"I don't think it's suitable for many people. Last year, shopkeeper Lin Luosun and Zhang ordered tens of thousands of horses. This one costs 15 taels. If you do the math carefully, shopkeeper Zhang made a lot of money last year."

"Lin Luo satin is indeed easy to sell. But there are only so many people in Luoyang City, and each household can't sell all three or four." Shopkeeper Zhang's ears turned red from Shang Zihan's choking, if his skin hadn't turned dark Flaws were seen early on. "Mr. Shang, you are the number one scholar in the new discipline and you are about to marry Princess Jinyang. Isn't it more appropriate to leave these matters to the housekeeper?"

Shang Zihan couldn't understand the meaning of this piece of shopkeeper, so he only heard her say: "What does it matter to you whether this young master is the champion son-in-law? You, including all the shopkeepers here, were you taken in by my merchant when you were down and down? Give you food and drink, give you shelter from the wind and rain. Now that ten years have passed, it’s really fantastic to think of taking any benefits from the master’s house.”

"..."

"I don't understand what the child knows. Back then, we had an agreement with Mr. Shang. How could you just smear it at will."

"Yes."

After someone started, the other nine began to open their mouths, a 'ignorant boy' closed their mouths, and a 'yellow boy' obviously didn't regard Shang Zihan as the current head of the business.

Although Shang Zihan's temper has changed a bit, the arrogance in his bones is not so easy to erase.She just took one look at Yeling, and Yeling knew it was time to rub these people's spirits. "All shopkeepers, this is the account book of the shops under your name in recent years. The strange thing is that each of you has two kinds of account books."

At this time, the faces of the ten people were pale, staring sharply at the ledger in Yeling's hand, secretly cursing Shang Zihan for being unkind.

"You shopkeepers really think that merchants are easy to bully. I still have two of these account books in my house. If you want to see it, you can follow me back to the house to have a look."

"..."

"My lord knows very little about what happened back then, and I only heard about the meeting occasionally. How can you tell the shopkeepers that it is all funded by my business to get the wealth we have today? Either you sign the paper contract, or Make up the money that is nearly young, and the merchant withdraws the capital. Please choose two ways.”

The faces of the ten people in front of them changed, no matter which way they took, they would lose a lot.

"I am not an unreasonable person, but I still want everyone to think clearly." Shang Zihan naturally gave them some time to catch their breath when the matter was over, "Please reply me with an answer in three days. Farewell. "

Three days passed in a blink of an eye. In the meeting three days ago, in the end, three people came to apologize in person, and sent them to the eyes of the previous year. Two people sent the stewards of the Fuchu to the door, and the rest chose different paths.

"My lord, these people really think that they can sit back and relax after the business withdraws their capital, don't they?" Steward Fu was annoyed with confidence as he looked at the five unrighteous books in his hand. If it wasn't for His Highness who wanted to develop power in Ze Country, those people would have starved to death on the road. Where is the scenery now.

These and that were not given by His Highness! ?

"Since it can't be used by me, then I will send the people below to take over the properties of these families and let our people take over."

Butler Fu responded repeatedly.

Back then
