Chapter 500: Sheng Yong German, the Shen residence is going to the banquet
Chapter 500: Sheng Yong's German language, Shen's house attending a banquet
As soon as the announcement was made, the corresponding servants came and led many merchants to the east and west cities according to the types of things they needed to buy! And this matter of the opening of the Lianli City market was finally over. It started smoothly.
Although they were indeed dissatisfied with the tax rate, seeing that the planning was clear and there were guide boys in almost every place made many merchants feel much more comfortable.
The most important thing is that many things that were difficult for them to purchase before are now available in a dazzling variety in front of them.
Whether it is a large-volume purchase or a trial purchase, almost no one will leave empty-handed.
Under such circumstances, these people naturally abandoned other thoughts and plunged into the two markets, either to promote what they were selling, or to search for the goods of themselves and their hearts.
In the east city center, a large group of people were slowly walking forward. They were looking at the dazzling array of merchandise on both sides and chatting with each other.
And the leader was none other than Sheng Yongde, who lived in the Jiangnan Sheng family and was as famous as Shao Xun!
Compared with Shao Xun's scenery, Sheng Yongde is naturally much inferior.
However, the power of the Sheng family is certainly not trivial, so there are also many merchants following him.
"Hmph, then the Shao family has climbed onto the big bandwagon. Otherwise, where would it be the Shao family's turn to make the decision in Lianlicheng?"
"Tsk, tsk, there is no other way, who can give me a good daughter?
Now they not only make the decision in Lianli City, they also decide on the purchases in the palace.
It seems that in the future we will have to look at other people’s faces to eat!”
Naturally, many people are envious and envious of the Shao family's scenery.
However, apart from envy and jealousy, they really can't do anything else about this kind of thing.
"shut up!"
The leader Sheng Yongde shouted sharply, "Although we and the Shao family are rivals, we have our own strengths.
Furthermore, the Shao family's decision here will eventually be somewhat fair, and the Shao family's reputation in Jiangnan can still be used.
It's even better than switching to the government."
"In addition, at noon, Mr. Shao invited me to go to the Shen Mansion for a banquet. If you want to go with me, then just accept those thoughts.
If this is still the case, no wonder I can’t help you when the time comes!”
Sheng Yongde is naturally a sensible person, so when faced with Shao Xun's overtures, he not only did not refute Shao Xun's face, but he naturally accepted them.
In the eyes of others, Sheng Yongde may be a little too weak in dealing with things, but in fact, this is because Sheng Yongde is self-aware.
With the current power of the Shao family, even if the Sheng family spends all their money to fight with the Shao family, they will only end up with a disastrous defeat.
If that's the case, why bother?
Furthermore, although the two are rivals, they can be considered sympathetic to each other and understand each other relatively well.
If Lianli City could be controlled by the Shao family, although it would not be a good thing for the Sheng family, it would not be a bad thing for the merchants of the Song Dynasty.
The Shao family has been able to develop to the present and become the top representative of Jiangnan merchants. It is precisely because the Shao family is fair and honest.
If such a place was controlled by the government, the merchants who came to trade would not know how much they would have to pay.
Sheng Yongde had seen quite a lot of this kind of thing.
Looking at the busy and orderly transactions in the market, Sheng Yongde nodded slightly. If this trading place could be stabilized, it would be a good thing for the merchants of the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom.
After wandering around the East Market and West Market for a long time, Sheng Yongde was not in a hurry to make a move. Every transaction of the Sheng family was a large amount of business. The shopkeeper below had already followed Sheng Yongde's instructions to check the goods. Moreover, at noon Since he made an appointment with Shao Xun, he also wanted to talk to Shao Xun and see the prices of the shops here.
If it is suitable, the Sheng family will naturally buy a batch.
"Is this Master Sheng of the Sheng family?
The people in Xia Shen Mansion were ordered to come and invite Master Sheng to the banquet."
A boy found Sheng Yongde and others on the street and said respectfully.
"Thank you, little brother, it is someone Sheng!"
Then, under the leadership of this young man, Sheng Yongde and his party naturally headed towards Shen's mansion.
Not long after, they entered Shen's mansion and the young man said, "Master Sheng, there are also adults from Ma Shao and Jin Kingdom attending the banquet, so others will have their own banquets, so you can come with me."
When the others heard that Ma Shao and others were present, they naturally didn't say much. After all, although they could be regarded as some well-known merchants, but compared with the dignified three envoys, they were really far behind.
When Sheng Yongde heard this, his face was a little surprised.
Originally, he thought it was just Shao Xun, but he didn't expect that there was someone else.
However, in his heart, he was secretly grateful to Shao Xun.
Under such circumstances, Shao Xun invited him here, naturally not to show off to himself, but most likely to introduce himself to these adults.
In other words, if he had such a relationship, he might not be able to achieve this level.
Thinking silently in his heart, he had already been led by the servant to a hall.
When they entered the hall, they saw that Ma Shao and Shu Huchu were all present. Beside them were several people who had come with them. Although they did not know each other, they were obviously members of the officialdom.
Apart from these people, only Shao Xun was present representing the Shen family.
"I've met all of you, brother Shao, thank you for taking care of me."
Each of the people present was somewhat nobler than Sheng Yongde, so he bowed respectfully to everyone, and then thanked Shao Xun with clasped fists.
"Haha, gentlemen, this person is the head of the Sheng family! The Sheng family's business is not only popular in our Song Dynasty, but also has a good reputation in Dali, Ryukyu and other places.
This time the Sheng family can come to Lianli City, our business in Lianli City can be considered to be very prosperous."
Shao Xun introduced Sheng Yongde and gave him a few compliments.
The others just nodded slightly, and Ma Shao smiled when he arrived and said, "I have heard before that the Jiangnan Sheng family is as famous as the Shao family. I am honored to be able to meet the head of the Sheng family today."
"Your Excellency, I'm sorry..." Sheng Yongde said with an apologetic smile.
"Master Shao, the banquet has been prepared. Let all your lords take their seats!"
A slave entered quietly and whispered in Shao Xun's ear.
Shao Xun nodded slightly, and then said to Ma Shao and Shu Huchu with a smile, "Two adults, we are all here. How about we sit down and talk while eating?"
"good!"
Ma Shao stood up first and said, "Everyone, Mr. Shao just said that he has prepared wine for us that has been treasured for many years. This time, we can take advantage of it."
