The square outside Yiyan Hall is now crowded with people.
Compared with the scenes of the ceremony of inviting immortals in the past, it is not overly generous.
"It's almost eight o'clock, why hasn't it started yet?"
"Why are you so anxious? Don't big shots come out only when everyone is gathered?"
"How can we not be in a hurry? My store is still closed. I lose an hour of profit every night!"
"His shop? Didn't you see that the important thing in the announcement is all merchants engaged in sea and land trade? What are you doing here as a shop owner?"
"What's wrong with the store owner? If I open a store, I'm no longer a businessman?! How can you still be discriminatory?!"
"How have I discriminated against you? Qixing also wrote in the announcement that in order to stabilize the daily trading needs of the people in Liyue Port, ordinary traders do not need to come. I kindly remind you, why are you still raking in the money?"
"Hmph, I think you are discriminating against me! You are so incompetent!"
"you!!!"
Seeing that the two were about to quarrel here, a woman standing on the other side couldn't stand it anymore.
She persuaded her nicely: "Well, since we are all businessmen, we all naturally understand that harmony is the most important thing. Today is a big day for us businessmen. As businessmen, we should also take a look at it, and not to mention us,
Aren't ordinary people here to join in the fun?"
"You are." The shop owner looked at the woman who broke up the fight and felt that she looked familiar, but for a moment he couldn't remember who she was.
The woman with some baby fat smiled tenderly and introduced herself: "My name is Changshun. I run a street stall in Feiyunpo. I can barely be considered a businessman."
"Oh," another skinny high school senior suddenly said, "I know you, Teacher Changshun! Some time ago, I remember that you asked for a classroom there to train people in business knowledge, right?"
Changshun nodded sheepishly and said: "Just kidding, I just like to summarize some things. The so-called teaching is just to communicate with everyone. It is not training, and it cannot be called a teacher."
"Hey, Teacher Changshun is so humble. I heard that many people are rushing to take your class. Even the principal of that school, Miss Yan Fei, has come to negotiate with you to hire you as a teacher!" After finishing speaking,
These, the middle-aged man also introduced himself.
"My name is Bo Lai, and I run a [Wanyou Shop] on the dock of Liyue Port. Teacher Changshun is here to take care of the business when he is free."
At this time, the former shop owner also stepped in and introduced himself: "It turns out to be Teacher Changshun. I think you look familiar. I think Teacher Changshun passes by and eats Huyan every day, right? My name is Dongsheng, and I am [Rong]
The shopkeeper of Fa Shop is at the intersection of Chihuyan."
Faced with the enthusiasm between the two of them, Changshun seemed extremely unnatural. Fortunately, at this moment, Ningguang finally walked out of the Yiyan Palace, helping her out of trouble.
"You two are very flattering, but now that Lord Tianquan has come out, let's first listen to what Lord Tianquan has to say today."
Dongsheng said politely: "That's right, it's finally starting."
The three people, as well as others who were still whispering, closed their mouths after noticing that the door of Yiyan Palace was opened, and turned all their attention to the direction of Yiyan Palace.
Ningguang crossed the threshold, went down the steps, and stood on the high platform in front of the square.
Facing a square with tens of thousands of people, she looked graceful and elegant, like a woman born for big occasions, without any stage fright.
Xue Lian, who was following her a few steps away, could barely keep her face as normal as it was not the first time.
Only Han Tingli, who was walking at the end, looked at the tens of thousands of people below and felt that his thighs were a little bit unruly.
However, he lowered his head slightly and had a tense expression on his face, barely keeping himself from losing his composure.
Everyone in the audience looked at Xue Lian behind Ning Guang. There was both curiosity and confusion in their eyes.
Some people met Xue Lian during the last immortal invitation ceremony and knew that she was from your family.
Some people were wondering why Tianquan did not bring her three personal secretaries with him this time, but someone they were unfamiliar with.
Only among the Xuanmen people, there was a slight understanding, and they all looked at Wang Yunsong and Mingjun who were standing aside silently.
In fact, they didn't quite understand what it was, but after seeing Han Tingli behind Xue Lian, they seemed to understand something a little bit more.
That's why I turned my attention to those two people.
Mingjun looked at Xue Lian, turned to look at Wang Yunsong, and quickly looked away in embarrassment.
He saw blame in the other person's eyes. Thinking of the brutal "gate defense battle" of the Wang family yesterday, Mingjun felt guilty and did not dare to look at him again.
Ning Guang turned half sideways, completely letting Xue Lian out from behind, and introduced him to everyone.
"Everyone has seen that this lady is the daughter-in-law of Gui Jin, the son of the previous generation head of your family, and now the young lady of your family, Xue Lian."
Under everyone's studying gaze, Xue Lian nodded with a smile but did not speak.
At the same time, I was wondering why Ningguang would go out of his way to introduce her.
It was agreed before that she would not give a speech at this meeting.
He looked at Ningguang calmly, and Ningguang turned around with a smile and continued to talk to everyone.
"The reason why I specially introduce Mrs. Xue Lian is because everyone is called here this time. The reason is that Tianshu Star has found a new business idea for me, Liyue."
"As we all know, Liyue is a commercial nation. Merchants from the seven countries can trade in Liyue Port. Countless ships come and go from Liyue Port every day!"
"But since the great changes in the Layer Rock Abyss last year, with the participation of Tianshu Star, our Liyue's internal and external trade has been affected to a certain extent."
Having said this, the eyes of some people in the audience began to light up.
From Ning Guang's words, they saw signs that trade was about to be liberalized and no longer controlled.
The businessmen who had the same idea all exchanged excited looks, as if the cold winter of control in the past year was about to dissipate, and the beautiful spring in the future was about to arrive!
Ning Guang also saw the commotion in the audience, a moving smile appeared on her lips, and she continued.
"Some people seem to have guessed that the control measures on goods are about to be relaxed, but what I want to say is that you are wrong, and the controls will continue in the future."
Wow——
As soon as he finished speaking, tens of thousands of people in the venue were in an uproar.
They didn't expect that they would go so far as to say that the control would continue.
And according to the meaning of the current words, it seems that the intensity of control will be further strengthened?!
In the crowd, Du Hai's hands hidden in his sleeves clenched instantly.
He looked at Boss Liu next to him and said in a sarcastic tone: "Boss Liu, did you hear that? You resisted my attempt to unite everyone yesterday, which caused us to completely lose the bargaining chip with Qixing at this moment! In this situation, we people
All businesses will become lambs waiting to be slaughtered! Throw them away and knead them!"
Boss Liu was also sweating profusely at this moment. He didn't understand why Qixing made such a stupid decision.
You must know that in all the years Prince Yan has been alive, he has never once regulated business.
Commercial trade requires the free circulation of goods to be dynamic!
Under strong control, businessmen will only lose the motivation to make money, thus completely turning Liyue's business into a backwater.
It’s impossible for Tianquan to not understand this truth!
But
Boss Liu looked at the condensed light on the stage and said harshly: "Everything has not been settled yet. Maybe it's not what you thought?"
"Humph, just be tough!" Du Hai looked at the increasingly agitated crowd and gritted his teeth and said to Boss Liu, "I am in the business of ore sound, and Liyue's ore is required by all seven countries. At least I won't starve to death, but
You, Boss Liu, don’t think you can sit back and relax after eating a piece of dye cake, do you? We’ll see!”
Boss Liu: "."
He was silent. Du Hai was right. The demand for ore is different from that of cloth shops. With so many cloth shops, there will always be times when they are saturated.
But the ore that is the foundation of the country does not. Even the ore production in the previous heyday was only just enough for the demand of the seven countries.
Therefore, there is no shortage of buyers for ore and no shortage of profits.
It's completely different from the cloth business.
When Boss Liu was still secretly anxious.
Someone in the crowd was already angrily retorting to Ningguang: "Fart! What do you Qixing do for food?! Prince Yan has only been away for a few days?! You actually decided to control all Liyue's business activities?!"
"Yes! I object to this proposal! What about Tianshu Star, and you too, Ningguang? Do you earn too little? Do you actually understand the consequences of regulation?!"
"Are the people from Qixing crazy?!"
"I know!" At this time, a person in the crowd suddenly shouted as if he had awakened, "Did you Qixing do the death of Prince Yan? You killed Prince Yan in a sneak attack, and then issued a decree to
By controlling commerce, do you Seven Stars want to suck the blood of our Liyue people to fill your own pockets?!"
boom--
As soon as this statement came out, the entire venue was completely boiling.
This kind of rumor has a lot of market among the people, but because Qixing has always had a good reputation in the past, it is okay to chat about it. After all, conspiracy theories can be quite exciting to talk about.
But how many people really believe it is a matter of opinion.
But under the current circumstances, many people feel at this moment that things really seem to be like this.
Tianquan Ningguang has accumulated step by step from poverty to his current worth!
Ning Guang definitely understands business!
But now Ningguang actually agrees to increase the control of business. Such anti-intellectual operation makes people have to think about this aspect.
"Tianquan! Give us an explanation!!!"
"Yes! If you don't give me an explanation today, I will crash to death here!"
"Prince Yan! You have just passed away not long ago. The Seven Stars that Ning raised up with his own hands are about to shake your roots in Liyue!!!"
The scene was chaotic.
There is public sentiment and anger, there is passion and there is also compassion for others.
A picture of all living beings.
On the high platform, faced with angry insults and responsibilities, Ningguang remained silent.
Her aura remained unchanged and she absorbed all negative emotions.
At the same time, a sigh rose in my heart.
Ningguang lamented that he might have been too busy recently and lacked rest, resulting in not thinking comprehensively.
At that time, I was thinking about keeping the merchants in Liyue Port as much as possible, and thinking about expanding the impact of the incident, but I forgot that in such a big occasion, many things would become uncontrollable.
She should select some representatives from various industries from among the people, communicate with them first, and then let them inform their respective industries.
Pass it on one by one in this way, and then coordinate it in an orderly manner.
This can actually have the effect of keeping merchants in Liyue Port.
Not only that, Ning Guang also understood that she had forgotten who she was facing today.
Businessman from Liyue!
Businessmen care about profits the most!
If most of the people we faced today were ordinary people, then the situation would not be so bad.
Although people are enthusiastic about business, as long as they are not businessmen, they will not be so resistant to regulation!
In this current situation, even if she said what she said below, those businessmen would not be able to listen to her for a while.
I'm trapped in a cocoon
Ningguang felt a little self-deprecating in his heart.
But faced with such a situation, she was not in a hurry.
Spend some time, explain it carefully, explain all the measures clearly, and the situation will not be like this by then.
Just the fact that something like this happened made this "battle" that must be won less glorious.
While Ningguang was laughing at himself, the businessmen in the audience were getting more and more angry with every word they said!
"We want the truth!"
"Tell the truth!"
"Down with the tyranny of the Seven Stars, Liyue belongs to the people!"
"snort!"
Just as the atmosphere was gradually reaching its climax, Ningguang's cold snort instantly spread throughout the square.
The businessmen who were shouting slogans angrily just now all woke up and shut their mouths at this moment.
On the stage, Ning Guang looked at the people who had become quiet, and calmly prepared to speak.
But at this moment, a sudden change occurred!
boom--
A medium-sized explosion suddenly sounded from not far away.
Immediately afterwards, a figure was seen flying high into the sky.
"Hahahahahaha it's so fun!"
A child's laughter spread throughout the square, and Xue Lian, who was standing behind Ningguang, frowned at this moment.
Why does this voice sound so much like my own child?!
