Five days later.
The plaque of Imperial Merchant is ready.
The palace maids delivered them to Jiang Xiang and two other merchants.
The palace maids and soldiers carried the plaque and came to a restaurant, banging and hammering along the way.
Jiang Xiang and other merchants had already been waiting outside the restaurant.
The restaurant was surrounded by people who came to watch the fun.
Some people felt that this scene looked familiar.
Then I remembered that this was also the place where the imperial edict was read last time.
They also watched from the sidelines.
The palace maids commanded the soldiers to hang up the plaque with the words "Imperial Merchant" written on it.
Jiang Xiang and other merchants looked up at the plaque.
His face flushed with excitement.
The plaque bestowed by His Majesty himself has finally arrived!
From now on, they will have someone to back them up.
From now on, no one can bully them at will.
And hiding in the crowd were some powerful and influential people from aristocratic families.
My eyes are red with jealousy.
I wanted to rush up, snatch the plaque and hang it on my doorstep.
But reason tells them that it is not possible.
Control their impulses.
After hanging up the plaque, the palace maid said to Jiang Xiang.
"The plaque has been delivered, so we'll go back home first."
Jiang Xiang and other merchants spoke quickly.
"Take care, father-in-law."
Before the palace maid left, Jiang Xiang stuffed another purse into her hand.
This time the wallet is much heavier than last time.
The palace maid held the purse in her hand, turned around and left with the soldiers.
Some of the aristocratic and powerful people hiding in the crowd reluctantly withdrew their gaze, left the crowd, and walked away.
Jiang Xiang and other merchants threw the loose change they had prepared to the people watching around.
"Today, His Majesty has bestowed upon me the title of Imperial Merchant. I, Jiang, would like to celebrate with everyone!"
“Have fun with everyone!”
The people who were watching had no idea that they could actually get some free rewards just for watching the fun.
He immediately rushed towards the scattered silver coins thrown by Jiang Xiang and other merchants.
The crowd suddenly became extremely lively.
"Quick! Pick up the silver!"
"There's silver all over the ground, pick it up!"
"Don't grab it, don't grab it, this is mine!"
"Ouch, my shoes!"
"Hiss... Watch out! You're stepping on my hand!"
The onlookers scrambled to pick up the silver on the ground.
Some of the aristocratic and powerful people who had not yet left were so angry at this scene that their teeth were almost broken.
You guys just enjoy it secretly for now.
There is always something good looking for you.
After scattering all the loose change in the basket, Jiang Xiang and other merchants instructed the shopkeeper to treat the guests well.
They all went into the back room.
"Stay outside and don't let anyone get close."
This is one of the few close people in Jiangxiang.
The man nodded and replied, "Yes, Boss."
Then he stood guard outside the room.
Stand straight, look alert, pay attention to your surroundings at all times, and don't let strangers get close.
Jiang Xiang led other merchants into the wing room and closed the door.
Everyone took their seats.
Jiang Xiang and other merchants were trying their best to control their excitement.
Although he had seen the imperial edict before, he knew that a plaque bestowed by Ying Zheng himself would be sent to him.
But in the past few days, the plaque has not been completed and has not been seen.
I still feel unsure.
Now the plaque has finally been delivered and is hanging firmly in his own restaurant and shop.
Jiang Xiang and others finally felt relieved.
It fell safely back into the stomach.
After a while.
Jiang Xiang looked at everyone and said.
"Now that the plaque has been hung, our status as an imperial merchant has finally been confirmed."
"What do you think?"
this.........
Gao Liu looked at the other merchants, then looked at Jiang Xiang and asked.
"Any other ideas?"
"Haven't we been named Imperial Merchants by His Majesty?"
"We've donated silver and grain, what else is there to do?"
The other merchants also looked puzzled.
"Yeah, is there anything else to do now?"
"Shouldn't we seize the time to stabilize our business and save more money to make up for the previous deficit?"
"Is there anything else to do?"
Jiang Xiang said, "Although we have been named Imperial Merchants by His Majesty and have a plaque bestowed by the emperor."
"With His Majesty as my backer, I feel like I have an extra layer of protection."
"But don't forget those powerful families."
After Jiang Xiang’s reminder.
Gao Liu and other merchants then remembered the powerful families whom they had temporarily forgotten.
They won't watch them live so comfortably.
They would certainly find some way to take some money, food, or shops from them.
Although on the surface, they didn't dare to do it too obviously.
But they have many secret tricks.
It's simply impossible to guard against.
Gao Liu and other merchants, who had originally felt relieved, became worried again.
Gao Liu asked: "This...what should we do?"
Other merchants also asked: "Yes."
"Even if we raise our vigilance and prevent it once, we can't prevent it ten, a hundred, or a thousand times."
"If we really want to wait until they cause trouble, we can gather evidence and bring it before His Majesty."
"That would require too much time and effort."
