Jiang Xiang said, "Okay, that's a good reason."
"Tomorrow we will use this reason to ask for an audience with His Majesty and go to the palace to express our gratitude."
In fact, apart from thanking En, Jiang Xiang wanted to know more.
Your Majesty and Imperial Master, is there anything else you need his help with?
Best of all, he could be of help.
They have done their best in terms of silver and food.
I really can't take it out.
In the eyes of His Majesty and the Imperial Master, they are no longer useful and can no longer be of any help.
Then the identity of imperial merchants and the plaque can only protect them temporarily.
Wait until this gust of wind passes.
Those aristocratic and powerful people who are still watching and testing the waters will pounce on them like wolves pouncing on their prey, dividing them up and eating them all.
When Jiang Xiang thought of that scene, he felt a chill on his back.
He must find a way to survive for himself and for them.
A way to live longer.
Afterwards, Jiang Xiang, Gao Liu and other merchants discussed the details of the merchant division again.
They unconditionally accepted all merchants in Xianyang who were willing to join them.
And all the merchants were brought under the names of three imperial merchants, namely Jiangxiang, Gaoliu, etc.
They will not force those who are unwilling to surrender.
But if something happens, don't look for them.
............
A mansion of a noble and powerful family.
Song An and a group of powerful families were sitting in the hall.
I don’t know how many teacups were broken.
After hearing the news the servant had inquired about from outside, Song An frowned and said nothing.
The other dignitaries looked at each other in bewilderment.
Everyone was extremely anxious.
One of them said, "Mr. Song, please say something and make a decision."
Others: “Yeah, what should we do now?”
"What exactly does your majesty mean?"
"What is he going to do?"
Everyone frowned, unable to understand why His Majesty suddenly gave such a huge reward to a few merchants.
Just confer the title of imperial merchant.
He even personally presented a plaque.
Why does Your Majesty honor these merchants so much?
They are just a bunch of lowly businessmen.
I am only fit to carry their shoes, earn money for them, and be their purse.
In the past, the powerful families had always suppressed businessmen.
Put the businessmen under pressure.
Treat them as an inexhaustible money bag.
When you run out of money, you'll find ways to ask them for it.
Even if they dare to resist, they cannot escape from their control.
It's just that I was careless this time.
They were actually allowed to enter the palace smoothly.
He also showed his face before His Majesty.
When they thought of the donation list, they gritted their teeth in hatred.
Although I can't see the donation amount on the list.
But it goes without saying that it is definitely not less than theirs.
These merchants had secretly accumulated so much money and grain without telling them.
All of them were donated to His Majesty.
I really don't take them seriously!
Song An finally calmed down and said in a deep voice.
"Okay, now what we have to do is wait and see."
"Everyone should not act rashly."
"Let's see His Majesty's attitude first and let those merchants be happy for a while."
After hearing Song An's words, most of the powerful families frowned, but they also knew that now was not the time to cause trouble.
They also suppressed their desire to cause trouble.
But there were also a few people who, although they superficially agreed with Song An's words and arrangements.
But he was obviously dissatisfied in his heart.
They were unwilling to let a few merchants take over their business.
After saying a few more simple words, Song An waved his hand.
"Okay, you guys go back first."
"Remember what I said, stay calm for now and wait until this storm is over before you do anything else."
"good."
The other noble families responded one after another and then said goodbye and left.
Only after they all left did Song An sigh deeply.
"well.........."
The steward next to him was always on guard.
Seeing Song An sigh, he asked quickly.
"Master, why are you sighing?"
Hasn’t the merchant’s issue been resolved?
Just ignore them for now.
Why is the master still sighing?
Song An shook his head, "Where's the young master?"
The steward said, "Master, after finishing his shift, the young master returned home, changed his clothes, and then went out again."
kindness?
Going out again?
Song An: "Do you know where he went to fool around?"
this........
The steward was a little embarrassed, "The young master didn't say...I didn't dare to ask."
"never mind."
Song An said, "Wait a little later, tell the kitchen to prepare dinner so that he won't have nothing to eat when he comes back late."
"Yes, sir."
The steward Youxin praised, "The master is still good to the young master."
"I'm always worried that the young master won't have any food to eat and will be hungry."
..........
A group of powerful families left Song An's mansion.
Several of them made an appointment to go to the house of one of them.
The other powerful families dispersed.
In the study of a mansion.
Several powerful families sat on chairs.
One of them said, "What do you think of what happened today?"
The others looked at each other.
"How else can I look at it? Just look at it this way."
"That's right, what else can we do?"
"Old Master Song has already said that we should hold our ground and wait and see what happens."
