Jiang Xiang said: "Of course the representatives of the aristocratic families disagreed."
"But this matter is not up to them to decide."
"It's not that they don't agree, that's why Your Majesty didn't confer the title."
"In fact, when we were in the palace, the representatives of the aristocratic families did raise objections."
"Regarding the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, the status of merchants has always been low and despised."
"They are trying their best to belittle us, just to prevent His Majesty from making us imperial merchants."
When the other merchants heard this, their excitement was like being poured with a bucket of cold water.
My heart suddenly sank.
Someone asked:
"And then? What did Your Majesty say?"
Jiang Xiang said: "Your Majesty didn't even need to say anything, the Imperial Master had already scolded them."
What?
National Master?
Does this matter involve the national teacher?
The merchants asked, "Is the Imperial Master here too?"
"When you met His Majesty, did you also meet the Imperial Master?"
Jiang Xiang: "That's natural."
"The Imperial Master is standing beside Your Majesty."
"The Imperial Master said that the economic prosperity of the Qin Dynasty depends on us merchants!"
What?
The economic prosperity of Daqin depends on them?
The merchants looked at each other, all feeling inexplicably guilty.
Do they have that much energy?
Can it also affect the economic prosperity of Daqin?
"Don't disbelieve me, this is what the Imperial Master said himself."
"The Imperial Master said it himself in front of His Majesty and those aristocratic nobles."
"I heard it with my own ears. If you don't believe me, ask them."
Jiang Xiang pointed at Gao Liu and another merchant next to him.
Gao Liu and another merchant nodded hurriedly.
"It's true. We heard it with our own ears."
"At that time, the representatives of the aristocratic families were still unconvinced and were severely reprimanded by the Imperial Master."
"They were speechless."
"Your Majesty also agreed with what the Imperial Master said."
"Immediately agreed to the Imperial Master's proposal and conferred the title of Imperial Merchant upon the three of us."
Hearing this, the merchants were happy at first, but then they felt something was wrong.
"Wh...what do you mean?"
"You three???"
"His Majesty has named you three Imperial Merchants? What about us?"
The merchants all turned their eyes to Jiang Xiang, "Didn't you just say that His Majesty has made us imperial merchants?"
"Why are there three of you now?"
Jiang Xiang and two other businessmen had already thought about this matter.
Your Majesty simply conferred the title of Imperial Merchant on the three of them.
Not all merchants who donated silver and grain were named imperial merchants.
To solve the difficulties and fairness they are currently facing.
Also, it was to make all of them work together.
Jiang Xiang and two other businessmen had already come up with a countermeasure.
All the merchants on the list who donated silver and grain were collected and divided among the three of them.
The previous business model and revenue remain unchanged.
The only difference is that on the surface everything is under the jurisdiction of these three people.
Although only three of them were named imperial merchants, they could use this method to bring other merchants under their wing.
Give them some shelter.
So that they can also do business under the title of imperial merchants.
After Jiang Xiang told them the decision of the three of them.
Other businessmen all expressed their willingness to invest under the names of the three of them.
After all, there is no loss for them and they can still get protection.
It’s just that there will be an additional process when doing business in the future.
If there is anything, we must inform Jiang Xiang and the others first.
The merchants said: "Okay, that's no problem!"
"I accept this proposal."
"I accept that, too."
"It's just that you three are under unified supervision, no problem."
"Although I'm not as free as before, at least I have the title of imperial merchant."
"With the identity of an imperial merchant."
"From now on, when we do business in Xianyang, we won't have to be so restrained."
"There's no need to worry anymore about those powerful families taking action against us."
"Even if we meet them head-on, we are not afraid!"
However...some merchants were quite worried and asked with frowns.
"Will those aristocratic families become jealous and find excuses to attack us?"
"After all, they have always oppressed us and wanted to take over our shops."
"Although we have been named the Imperial Merchant, we cannot stop them from attacking us from behind."
Jiang Xiang said: "What are you afraid of? We have the support of His Majesty and the Imperial Master."
"If they dare to do anything to us openly, we will go to the palace to complain!"
"If they are secretly doing something bad, I will go to the palace and complain to His Majesty and the Imperial Master if I find evidence!"
"I don't believe that Your Majesty and the Imperial Master would favor or indulge them."
He could clearly sense it in the palace today.
The national teacher dislikes those representatives of the aristocratic and powerful families.
Just because of Qi Pan's words against the aristocratic and powerful people, Jiang Xiang was extremely convinced.
As long as they do business honestly, those powerful families will dare to take action against them.
They took the charges and went to the palace to complain to the imperial teacher.
The Imperial Master will definitely not ignore it!
As long as the Imperial Master is willing to pay attention, Your Majesty will definitely not let those aristocratic and powerful families go.
Jiang Xiang's words are also credible to other merchants.
