"You don't need to be polite." Xuan Shijing walked into the room.

Qian Dui hurriedly got up and gave up his seat, asked Xuan Shijing to sit down, and asked the little guy outside to bring tea over.

"You are gathered in this Xuanwu Tower, if I guess correctly, it should be for the officials of the Ministry of Industry to find you to lower the price." Xuan Shijing sat down and said.

One of the businessmen replied: "Exactly, the shopkeeper of Qian Da is the leader of many chambers of commerce in Chang'an City, and we also want to ask the shopkeeper of Qian Da to think of a way, at least....... If you can't think of a way, you have to unify your opinions. ”

Xuan Shijing smiled when he heard this: "Don't be embarrassed about the money, there are people behind your families, the official doesn't believe it, and the people behind you didn't tell you what to do?" Still is...... Want to leave this mess with a pile of money? In the future....... Even if something happens, there is money piled up in front of you to carry it, and the sky falls, and the one who is smashed is also a tall man? ”

"Don't dare, don't dare." The merchants in the room were frightened when they heard Xuan Shijing say this, even if they had this idea before, they didn't dare to show it in front of Xuan Shijing.

Now Xuan Shijing is in the limelight, not to mention that they are just a small businessman, even the officials of the DPRK and China dare not rashly provoke him Xuan Shijing.

"Let's all sit down and talk." Xuan Shijing said, he sat on the chair and looked at these people, and he was quite tired from raising his head to talk.

"Yes." The crowd answered, and found chairs in the room and sat down.

The tea was sent to Xuan Shijing, Xuan Shijing took a sip of it, and the businessmen in the room sat upright in their seats, wanting to see Xuan Shijing, but they didn't dare to look at it directly.

Putting down the tea bowl, Xuan Shijing spoke: "The official has just left from His Majesty, and he has arrived at this Xuanwu Lake. ”

"Please also show grandpa." The merchant arched his hand.

"This time the Ministry of Industry officials lowered the price, it is indeed a bit excessive, but the new palace is about to be built, the new palace uses a lot of materials, is a large amount, the original market to build a house of materials to take the road of small profits and quick turnover, the Ministry of Industry such a price reduction, everyone will naturally not agree to the Ministry of Industry's proposal, if the process of the new palace is delayed, Your Majesty will not be happy." Xuan Shijing said: "Your Majesty has asked from the Ministry of Industry, and the merchant here, the official also brought you a message, the official has discussed with Your Majesty, the imperial court purchases materials from you, and the market price is 20%, what do you think?" ”

"Twenty percent....... This .......," the merchant hesitated.

A businessman arched his hand and said to Xuan Shijing: "Grandpa, since you know that there is not much profit in this, these two ....... Isn't it too much, if it is a large purchase, save some on the total amount, if it is not too much, we can still accept it, just cut it by two percent at once, I will wait......."

"Everyone!" Xuan Shijing accentuated his tone, paused for a while, and then slowed down: "Don't be too greedy, don't you think this official doesn't understand?" Don't forget, under the hands of this official, he also runs this business to make a living. ”

"Grandpa, your family has a big business, we can't compare, we can't afford to lose." A businessman said, as soon as this remark came out, several businessmen around him echoed it.

"Twenty percent....... Hehe. Xuan Shijing smiled: "You guys are careful, do you really lose money?" ”

"This ......." The merchants in the room looked at each other.

"Pile of money, you say." Xuan Shijing looked at the pile of money standing on the side.

"Back to Grandpa, two percent, it's acceptable." Qian Dui said.

"If you feel that the price of the court is unfair, you can not deal with the court, you can continue to sell your materials at the market price, and sell them piecemeal, and naturally you will not lose money." Xuan Shijing smiled: "It's just a little more time." ”

Prior to this, Qian Dui inquired about the situation in Chang'an City, and after His Majesty Li Er's edict to build a new palace was announced to the world, these material merchants in Chang'an City asked the people below to hurry out to contact and stock up on goods, wanting to take advantage of this opportunity to make a big profit, and now that the orders are scattered, within half a month, their goods will be transported to Chang'an one after another, which is not a small amount.

They are not afraid that the people from the Ministry of Industry will not come to them to buy, after all, Chang'an City is the closest to Longshouyuan, and it is the most convenient to transport to Longshouyuan, and these people have a way behind them, even if the Ministry of Industry does not take the initiative to find them, the people behind them will take the initiative to contact the Ministry of Industry for money, and greet and take care of the people from the Ministry of Industry.

Now the Ministry of Industry is coming to them, but they can't accept the price, although it has now dropped from 40% to 20%, but who will make more money?

Xuan Shijing wanted to balance the two parties, so he discussed with His Majesty Li Er a way to give two percent of the profits, and compromise the price gap between the imperial court and the merchants.

Xuan Shijing knew that according to eighty percent of the market price, these merchants made money, and they made a lot of money.

His Majesty Li Er is right, businessmen pursue profits, this is their nature, Xuan Shijing doesn't blame them, who wants to go around doing business without interests? The chamber of commerce under Xuan Shijing is also like this, so the Ministry of Industry will look for Xuan Shijing to reduce the price, and Xuan Shijing will also come forward, but profit-seeking is one thing, greed is another.

Xuan Shijing's words, for these merchants, it is the attitude of the imperial court, if they do not agree, then the imperial court can only give up buying materials from them, and they have hoarded so many things in their hands, so that they can sell them in the year of the monkey.

"It's ....... Grandpa, we have to go back and sum it up. One of the merchants stood up and said.

"Yes, let's go back and think about it, and then respond to Grandpa."

"Okay, I figured it out, just go directly to the Ministry of Industry." Xuan Shijing smiled and said: "By the way, the official has just entered the palace to meet Your Majesty, Your Majesty has appointed the official to supervise the construction of the new palace, if the matter of building the new palace is not resolved, the official will also suffer the crime." ”

"Yes, yes, I'll get it."

The merchant in the house talked to Xuan Shijing for a while, and fine sweat was already coming out of his forehead, and he didn't know if it was too hot in the house or what.

The group of merchants left the Xuanwu Building, and at this moment only Xuan Shijing and Qian Dui were left in the room.

"Aren't you tired of standing? Sit down. Xuan Shijing said.

From the time when Xuan Shijing was talking to those merchants, Qian Dui had been standing behind Xuan Shijing respectfully, and when he heard Xuan Shijing's words, he took a chair and sat down opposite Xuan Shijing.
