Chapter 499: Merchants’ reaction, two parties working together
Therefore, Liu Xiangling and others are not afraid at all that these people will not come to Lianli City.
“My lords, are you just going to watch the manager of Lianli City act so recklessly?
If this is the case, then the worst I can do is not trade here!"
Seeing that Shao Xun just smiled and said nothing, the people below couldn't help but shout at Ma Shao and Shu Huchu.
Ma Shao and Ma Shao looked at each other and had an idea in their minds.
Today is the opening day of the market, so naturally we can't cause too many disputes.
Moreover, the tax is indeed heavier than usual.
Therefore, they are prepared to agree to it and lower the tax appropriately. In this way, they can be regarded as giving an explanation to these people.
However, just when the two were about to speak, two people slowly walked up from both sides of the high platform.
One of them is Bamu, and the other is a little girl who looks like a slave.
Bamu walked to Shu Huchu's side, whispered a few words in a low voice, and then handed a piece of letter and a jade pendant to Shu Huchu.
Seeing the jade pendant and hearing Bamu's words, the corners of Shu Huchu's mouth twitched fiercely a few times, with a look of helplessness on his face.
Naturally, he had known for a long time that his princess was in Lianli City, and he had already planned to go and see her after the affairs here were over.
But unexpectedly, he didn't go, but waited for the princess's order first.
Although he didn't know what the princess had in mind, but even if it was just for fun, could he refute it?
Do you have the guts to refute?
Ma Shao on the other side was not much better than Shu Huchu, and even the shock on his face was even stronger.
Because, he didn't know that Princess Guangling was actually in Lianli City.
Naturally, he was not familiar with Princess Guangling, but he certainly knew Princess Guangling's token.
But how could Princess Guangling get involved in the affairs of Lienli City?
"Sir, Miss Shen has already discussed with several Madam Shens that all the taxes generated in Lianli City will be transported to Chengdu Fulu as military supplies.
The young lady and several Mrs. Shen all knew about the battle in Chengdu Fulu, and also heard that the imperial court was having difficulty raising food and grass.
Therefore, they have spent millions of taels of silver to start raising food and grass..."
This little girl explained the plans of Liu Xiangling and others to Ma Shao. Ma Shao was a little surprised at first, but then nodded in admiration.
A few women actually care about the world and even use their own money to support the country's war. Even if His Majesty really knew about this kind of thing, he would only be pleased but would not have any refutation.
Moreover, speaking of it, his status as the third commander is naturally not low, and his status in front of Zhao Shen is not inferior to that of Zhang Jun and others, and may even be a bit closer to him.
But it was precisely because of this that he realized how far his majesty, the maniac of doting on his sister, had reached.
It is no exaggeration to say that if Princess Guangling went directly to His Majesty today to cry and slander him as the third commander.
Then, come tomorrow, let alone this official position, he has no idea whether the head will still be on his head or not.
Well...it's so unreasonable! Zhao Shen's love for his sister is no less than Wan Yanyong's love for Wan Yan Yue, in fact, even more!
After a moment, Ma Shao smiled awkwardly, then turned to Shu Huchu and said, "Master Shangshu, since our two majesties have handed over the affairs of Lianli City to them, then I
I don’t think we need to interfere too much, and since there is such a tax, it naturally makes sense.
After all, it saves these merchants a lot of trouble, don’t you think so?”
Shu Huchu was still thinking about how to persuade Ma Shao, but he didn't expect Ma Shao to speak first.
Immediately, he nodded hurriedly, "The Third Secretary is right, and the tax is not high compared to their profits.
Don't worry, sir, I will immediately explain to our Jingui merchants in advance that if they are unwilling, I will directly advise Lianli City to expel these unruly bastards."
This time, the two hit it off!
Before Shao Xun could speak, Shu Huchu walked up directly and shouted at the Jin merchants below, "Quiet!"
"Everything here is according to His Majesty's will. If you are willing to obey, then follow the rules of Lianli City.
Otherwise, Lianli City has the right to expel you directly.
Moreover, if you are expelled from Lianli City, I will go back and report to Your Majesty, and in the future, you will be deprived of the qualification to do business in the Kingdom of Jin."
A simple and clear sentence, but it made everyone below stunned!
Afterwards, Ma Shao also stood up and said with a smile, "I, the Great Song Dynasty, have decided the same way! The rules of Lianli City are the rules, and no one is allowed to violate them.
Otherwise, our three envoys will investigate to the end and impose severe penalties on those who violate the rules!"
These businessmen could not understand why these two adults became Lianli City's lackeys.
Could it be that they secretly received the benefits of Lianli City?
With Ma Shao and Shu Huzhu coming forward, naturally no one among the many businessmen below dared to refute! After all, the benefits from this transaction between the two countries will naturally be huge.
However, some people with powerful backgrounds, even those who are directly Huangshang, have also secretly made up their minds. After returning to China, they will definitely find a way to get involved with this person and secretly gain benefits from him, regardless of the interests of themselves and others.
However, these people may not have thought that when the time comes, the results they will face will definitely not be what they want...
Shao Xun stood aside with a smile on his face, without any worry on his face. He naturally had no doubts about what Liu Xiangling and his daughter said.
And now, two top bosses have spoken, confirming his thoughts.
"Everyone, although our taxes in Lianli City are not low, they are not without any benefit to you.
As long as the transaction is carried out in our Lienli City and the place of sale is determined, our Lienli City will give you a flag to hang in your caravan.
You may not know it now, but in the future, you will know that the benefits this flag brings to you will far exceed this tax."
Naturally, these merchants didn't understand, but Shao Xun and Shu Huchu almost pretended to understand.
Behind this small Lianli City, there are two princesses from the two countries sitting behind the scenes, and both of them are the most favored princesses by their majesties.
If these merchants have contact with Lienli City, needless to say, at least the communication between the two countries will be almost unimpeded.
It's a pity that these businessmen now only think that this is a gimmick by Shao Xun and don't care at all.
