Daqin: White porridge and pickled mustard tuber, I became the national teacher

Chapter 277 Conspiracy.

Jiang Xiang said, "Okay, that's a good reason."

"Tomorrow we will ask to see His Majesty for this reason and go to the palace to express our gratitude."

In fact, besides thanking En, Jiang Xiang wanted to know more.

Your Majesty and Imperial Master, is there anything I can help you 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 there is no other way they can 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 families who are still watching and testing the waters will pounce on them like a wolf on its 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 gathered 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 noble families and dignitaries were sitting in the hall.

I don’t know how many teacups were broken into pieces.

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 on earth does your majesty mean?"

"What is he going to do?"

Everyone frowned, and they really couldn't 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 to me.

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.

If you are out of money, you will 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 the number is definitely not less than theirs.

These merchants had secretly accumulated so much money and grain without telling them.

And all of them were donated to His Majesty.

You 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 noble families frowned, but they also knew that now was not the time to cause trouble.

They also suppressed their urge to cause trouble.

But there were also a few people who superficially agreed with Song An's words and arrangements.

But he was obviously dissatisfied in his heart.

They were unwilling to allow a few merchants to gain control over them.

After saying a few more simple words, Song An waved his hand.

"Okay, you go back first."

"Remember what I said, stay calm for now and wait until this storm is over before you do anything else."

"it is good."

Other noble families responded one after another and then said goodbye and left.

After they all left, Song An sighed deeply.

"well.........."

The steward next to him was always standing by.

Seeing Song An sigh, he asked quickly.

"Sir, 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 the young master finished his shift, he 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, "Tell the kitchen to prepare food later, so that he won't have anything to eat when he comes back late."

"Yes, sir."

The steward Youxin praised, "The master is still good to the young master."

"I am always worried that the young master will have no food to eat and will be hungry."

..........

A group of noble and powerful families left Song An's mansion.

Several of them made an appointment to go to the house of one of them.

The other noble families and dignitaries dispersed.

In the study of a mansion.

Several noble families were sitting on chairs.

One of them said, "What do you think of what happened today?"

The others looked at each other.

"How else can you look at it? Just look at it like this."

"That's right, what else can we do?"

"Mr. Song has already said that we should keep our troops in place and wait and see what happens."

"What else can we do? Are we going to go against Elder Song's words and take action against those merchants privately?"

The first person to speak, "Why not?"

"I am going to take action against those merchants, as long as I act carefully and don't leave any evidence behind."

"Even if they guess that it was us who did it, what can they do to us?"

"Without evidence, I am not afraid even if they bring the incident to Elder Song or His Majesty."

"Besides, Mr. Song has always been on our side. Even if something happens, Mr. Song can handle it."

When the others heard this, they didn't react for a moment.

"what?"

"Are you really going to take action against those merchants?"

"But didn't Mr. Song tell us not to mess around?"

"You...you should not..."

Look at how cowardly these people are, the man said impatiently.

"What are you afraid of?!"

"You are just cowards!"

"Have we not taken action against merchants enough? It won't hurt to do it once or twice."

"It's just that I was named an imperial merchant and received a plaque."

"Look at how cowardly you are."

"They are just a group of merchants. Even if they have the word 'emperor' in their name, how noble can they be?"

"Aren't they still going to be trampled under our feet and be at our mercy?!"

After hearing this, the others began to waver.

The man saw this and quickly added fuel to the fire.

"Have you forgotten how those merchants used to kowtow in front of us?"

"Have you forgotten that those merchants were robbed of their money and their shops were occupied by us, so they dared not speak out?"

"Think about it again, the merchants today......"

“Think about their smug faces when they were named imperial merchants.”

"And when you received the plaque today, you looked so proud and complacent. Can you tolerate it?"

"Can you still hold it in?"

"Do you still want to watch them climb over us step by step and shit and piss on us?!"

The others were shocked!
