The businessmen are always the most realistic, they will calculate the gains and losses of interests no matter what they do, and being tied to the chariot by the Hao family is obviously not a good deal, because although the benefits are large, but the risks are also extremely high, everyone is not stupid, the imperial court sits on two capitals and thirteen provinces, with millions of elite soldiers, hundreds of millions of subjects, and occupies the Taoist system, the Hao family is a corner of the land after all, although it is also a large number of generals, but after all, it is still at a disadvantage.

Once a fight starts, you can't put your net worth and life on the line.

It is precisely because of this that the war-weariness quickly spread, everyone has become accustomed to the bright lights, has been accustomed to the song and dance of the warbler, and is used to living a peaceful life, who has the interest to fight life and death.

This business is a loss.

Wu Changsheng, the proprietor of Changsheng Commercial Bank, is one of the representatives, this Changsheng is not his name, in fact, his former name is a bit unelegant, it is said that seven or eight years ago, he was still the foot force of Haiphong Wharf, and then gathered a group of brothers to load and unload goods, he has a good mind, and does things fairly, and soon many dock workers pushed him to do the head, a few years down, he first monopolized several wharf foot power trading, and then set foot in the shipping industry, and now has become a giant in the shipping industry, and there are thousands of people who rely on him to make a living, There are thirteen ships, there are a few prosperous shops in Langshan, once a trace, it is inevitable to glorify the ancestors, first recognized a Wu Guang as an ancestor, bought a huge house, built an ancestral hall, married a wife and concubine, and very unceremoniously changed his name - prosperity.

As a tycoon in the shipping industry, Wu Changsheng has more influence than his business, because he has entered the senior minister of the Lang Son Senior Affairs Bureau, and this benevolent brother has always been responsible. also dared to take risks, when there was a civil uprising in the West. He did not know much about the Guò Chen Xue to fund the people's uprising, and for this reason. Penetrating his influence deep into the Western countries, he had good personal relations with the nouveau riche of various countries, and whether his ship arrived in Luzon or Sumatra, as long as he reported the name, he would be taken care of.

Because of this, the scale of his business has continued to expand, and now he even has attempts to get involved in the mining industry, but now, the sudden battle has stopped all his plans. Wu Changsheng does not have much confidence in the war situation of the imperial court, this senior minister, has complained on many public occasions, and there are many people who agree, everyone understands that this matter, the Hao family is a little not very authentic, if you discuss it with everyone in advance, everyone will never agree.

But at this time. But a piece of news came.

The imperial court issued an edict to ban commerce and trade and suppress merchants.

As soon as this decree came out, it soon spread in Lang Son.

Wu Changsheng got the news at noon. Wu Changsheng has a habit that at this point in time, he will go to a restaurant called Ruyi to eat. The chefs here are all famous chefs from Fujian, and Wu Changsheng is from Fujian. I have always praised the authentic taste here.

But when a little guy quickly took a newspaper and sent it to Wu Changsheng. Wu Changsheng had already eaten, served refreshments, took a napkin and inserted his mouth, and when he was about to eat tea, he inevitably looked at the news in the newspaper.

And the most striking news in the newspapers is the will of the imperial court.

As soon as he saw this will, Wu Changsheng's face changed suddenly.

He shuddered, and quickly said to the little guy, "What's the news at the dock?" When will we go into the ship of silk? And what about the warehouse of tea leaves in the warehouse? Fast, fast, immediately listed, listed on the spot to sell, how much can be sold, and the ship's ...... Ships were also sold, and a few could be sold. ”

The little guy said: "Master, there is no way to sell it, now it is being listed for shipment everywhere, but no one cares, when the villain came, I heard that the silk has dropped by two dollars of silver, and said that it will fall ......."

When Wu Changsheng heard this, he was dumbfounded, it seemed that he was late.

That's right, it's really late, because when the news came out, now everyone is frantically selling the backlog of goods in their hands, the reason is very simple, because nearly fifty percent of Langshan's trade is from the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and now, the Ming Dynasty has completely cut off the trade route, which means that from now on, if you want to sell the goods to the two capitals and thirteen provinces, the difficulty has increased a lot, and suddenly lost such a large market, and the goods on the market are not less, which means that the supply exceeds demand, and the market needs five hundred silks, But what does it mean that everyone has thousands of horses of silk in their hands? Of course, if you don't sell it, then you have to stay in your hands and rot, everyone in order to rush to make a move, now more are competing for bidding, you are cheaper than a penny, I dare to be cheaper for two dollars, you are cheaper for two dollars, I am losing money to sell.

It's better to sell at a loss than to be worthless in your hands.

But the problem is that everyone is not stupid, the price of silk continues to fall, at this time, even if there is a demand for silk, they dare not eat now, after all, who knows what will happen tomorrow? I don't know, the price will fall! If the price plummets again, there will be no place to cry.

So Huh, the result is that the price of all kinds of commodities falls more fiercely, but the more this thing can not be sold, and everyone's goods are bought with real money, a few years ago, Lang Son business is what to do what fire, dare to invest as much as you dare to invest, you can earn as much silver, so everyone is crazy as if you have to invest, there are ten taels of silver, you dare to eat a hundred taels of silver, ten taels of silver is your own, the other ninety taels of silver is a loan, some are from the money bank to take their own real estate mortgage, Some borrow directly from relatives and friends at a higher interest, after all, everyone knows that this is a profitable business, as long as you don't travel cuò, you can make a lot of profits, why not.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has suddenly banned commerce, many commodities cannot be sold, and even if they are sold, they must be sold at a loss, what does this mean? It means that everyone is finished.

That's right, it's really over, the court bans commerce and trade, this is everyone's life.

Wu Changsheng trembled, it was okay for the imperial court to start a war with the Hao family, as long as they did not stop banning commerce and trade, although it was difficult to buy and sell, but after all, there was still something to eat, but now, the imperial court smashed his rice bowl, not only smashed, but also never lived in this life.

Thinking of the rotten goods in his hand, thinking of his own business since then I am afraid that it will come to an abrupt end, although he is running the Western countries, but don't forget, once the ban on commerce, all the goods and ships will compete in the Western countries, there are a thousand ships running in the Western countries, and now the Ming Dynasty can't get food, so it is inevitable, the ships along the coast of the Ming Dynasty will also flock into the Western Ocean, and the demand of the Western Ocean is only so much, is this still a way to live?

In fact, Wu Changsheng's loss is relatively small, and all the workshop owners in Lang Son are facing a problem, whether this workshop still needs to produce, if it does not produce, and employ so many workers, will they all be dismissed? Ordered so many machines, do they make them moldy? If it is a rented shed, can it be allowed to breed weeds, but if it is production, with the current market, I am afraid that how much is produced, how many goods will have to be backlogged, and this goods are all silver, things cannot be sold, what the workshop will run, what will be used to pay the craftsmen, and when the time comes, there will be almost no way out except bankruptcy.

Thinking of this, thinking of the next tragic situation, Wu Changsheng just wanted to jump into the river or lie on the rails, anyway, these goods are rotten in his hands, and the creditors will come to the door sooner or later, and all the qi ē he runs will be in vain, and half a lifetime's hard work will eventually come to naught.

Wu Dongjia, who has always been a three-point smile, sat on the chair at the moment, motionless.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

"Smack!" Finally, Wu Changsheng slapped the case fiercely, with an angry face: "The court raised by the son of a bitch, the gentry raised by the son of a bitch, this group of scholars raised by the son of a bitch, Lao Tzu is so easy to bully, Lao Tzu is like this, let you take care of it, you don't give Lao Tzu a way to live, Lao Tzu will fight with you." ”

This is what everyone thinks, these panicked businessmen, at this moment there is no longer as calm as before, they originally thought that they were rich and rivaled the country, and they had become the number one person, but now it seems that they are not farts, a holy decree, and they will all be ruined and never turn over.

At this point, if there is anything else to say, of course, the first thing for everyone is to discuss how to deal with it, and immediately convene a meeting of senior ministers to solve the immediate trouble.

Wu Changsheng didn't say a word now, he went straight to the senior political bureau, he was a senior minister, qualified to participate in the conference, at this time in this senior political bureau, there was already a commotion, everyone was in a mess, one news after another was exchanging with each other.

"Liu Ji Iron Workshop has been suspended, the craftsmen are making trouble now, then Liu Dong's family is now surrounded in his own house, and the door can't get out, I'm afraid that if I don't meet the requirements of the craftsmen, I really want to make trouble, and it's useless for the people from the Patrol Bureau to go? What is the use of being scared, isn't it natural for craftsmen to ask for wages? Now is an eventful autumn, an eventful autumn, not afraid of anything, for fear of arousing public anger, now the public anger is very big, very big, many people feel bad, even if the workshop is still maintained, there are people who want to ask for wages in advance. ”
