Chapter 909: Unable to Get Married for Life
Hearing the sound coming from the door, Shang Yan'er and the merchant elders quickly looked over and found an extremely handsome young man standing at the door looking at them with a smile.
Shang Yan'er hurriedly stepped forward and saluted,
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhao Lang nodded and continued,
"I came to you today because I have something to discuss with you."
Before Zhao Lang finished speaking, the merchant elder on the side quickly said,
"Your Highness, I will take my leave first."
After saying that, he walked directly outside, and as he left, he said to the slave beside him,
"Sir, I still have something I would like to ask you about. I don't know if I can give you some advice."
Zhao Lang was stunned for a moment. What he was going to say today did not need to be kept too secret.
Besides, you, a businessman, have nothing to ask for from a slave.
The slave was also stunned for a moment, and then looked inside the yard. There were just a few of them. After the merchant elder left, there were only three of them left. He would seem somewhat redundant.
And he naturally knew that this Shang girl had been coveting his master for a long time. If he was a decent man who could sit still and keep his peace, then of course he couldn't leave, and he had to block it for his master.
But after thinking about my master's confidante, I thought it would be better for me to be more knowledgeable.
Of course, he would not leave directly, but said,
"Master, slave is waiting outside."
Then he glanced at his master and saw that the other party did not agree or disagree. He immediately retreated to the door very consciously and closed the courtyard door.
For a while, only Zhao Lang and Shang Yan'er were left in the courtyard, and the atmosphere was a bit subtle.
Shang Yan'er hesitated for a moment, and then said,
"Your Highness, I don't know what's going on."
While talking, Shang Yan'er couldn't help but look at Zhao Lang anxiously, but it wasn't because she was greedy for his beauty.
But the other party heard everything he said just now, and he also said that the business is prosperous right in front of him. This is the important thing.
Zhao Lang pretended to cough and said quickly,
"Before Ms. Shang talks about this, I do have something to confirm first."
"You are still sure about the position of the merchant leader."
His plan will be longer-term. If Shang Yan'er has lost control of the business just after some disturbances, then the other party will not be able to handle this matter.
Shang Yan'er said firmly at this time,
"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Although the merchants are panic-stricken now, they are not out of control of the little girl."
Zhao Lang nodded immediately when he heard this. There was no need for the other party to lie about this matter. He would verify it later, so he said,
"Businessmen have been doing a good job in cooperating with the imperial merchants in the North these days. The people appreciate your kindness, so I will give you a chance now."
Hearing this, Shang Yan'er's eyes lit up instantly. Although the merchant had been hit before, as long as Zhao Lang showed his attitude and fully supported them, she was sure to recover in a short time, and this time she could be upright. Bright with royal reputation!
So she quickly said,
"His Royal Highness, just tell me what you want, and the merchants will definitely listen and follow it!"
As a businessman, she naturally knows that there are no free benefits in the world, and the other party must have additional conditions.
Sure enough, Zhao Lang nodded with satisfaction. It was easy to talk to smart people.
"The conditions are very simple. After the Great Qin Dynasty, a unified commercial government will be established, and all merchants must join. In addition to reasonable adjustments by themselves, taxes, fees, prices, etc. must be unified and obey the government's deployment at critical times!"
His purpose is to make adjustments through this means.
In addition to curbing the nobility through taxes and fees, it can also prevent merchants from hoarding at certain special times.
Hearing this, Shang Yan'er was slightly stunned. This would be equivalent to leaving the fate of the world's merchants in the hands of the other party forever.
It is an extremely unfavorable condition, but given the current situation of the merchants, do they have any choice?
So she took a deep breath, and Shang Yaner quickly said,
"Everything must be obeyed by His Highness the Crown Prince."
Zhao Lang said to Shang Yan'er with some appreciation at this time,
"Yes, I thought you would put forward some conditions."
The conditions he proposed were actually a bit harsh, and the other party might be called a traitor by the businessmen.
Shang Yan'er said at this time,
"Your Highness, Yan'er does have a request."
The difference between requests and conditions seems very big, but the core is actually the same, they all want to be satisfied.
But the feeling given to the superiors is quite different.
Making conditions can feel threatening, making requests can satisfy the other person's vanity.
Sure enough, even Zhao Lang couldn't help but say at this time,
"Miss Shang, please speak."
Shang Yaner said at this time,
"The little girl hopes that His Highness the Crown Prince will allow the merchant family, and then we can follow the royal merchant to support the common people."
Hearing this, Zhao Lang couldn't help but narrowed his eyes slightly and said,
"Miss Shang, do you know that this matter requires a huge investment of money, and there will be no results in a short time."
Shang Yan'er said very firmly at this time,
"Please give your permission, Your Majesty the Crown Prince."
Zhao Lang nodded and said,
"Okay, I promise you."
"But there is something ugly to say to you. If businessmen dare to harm the interests of the people, then it cannot be dealt with by a simple fine."
It is rare for someone to be able to see his layout among the people. With the resources of these people, the people can live a good life earlier.
Shang Yan'er replied with a happy face at this time,
"Thank you, Your Highness."
The business’s century-old plan starts now!
The two reached an agreement, and Zhao Lang quickly said,
"Starting from today, I will tell you that all the resource channels of Wangcai Imperial Merchant can be used. You must build strength in the shortest possible time and prepare to confront the noble merchants."
This is a benefit he must give, which is beneficial to both parties.
Shang Yan'er did not refuse. Now that the merchant's vitality was severely weakened, he really needed to rely on the power of Huang Shang.
After the agreement was reached, Zhao Lang didn't stay long. He said "Thank you" and left here.
The slaves outside were slightly surprised, as their master's time was too fast.
Of course, this cannot be said out loud.
After the two left, the merchant elder who was outside quickly walked in. Seeing his leader's neatly dressed appearance, he couldn't help but feel slightly disappointed.
Shang Yan'er didn't notice these little thoughts and quickly told the merchant elders about the non-confidential plan.
After hearing this, the merchant elder was overjoyed and said,
"Chief, a century, no, a millennium of prosperity for merchants is just around the corner!"
With the support of His Highness the Crown Prince of Qin, merchants will surely rise!
Shang Yan'er shook her head at this time and said,
"Actually, there is a weakness here. "
The merchant elder asked with some confusion,
"weakness?"
Shang Yan'er nodded and said,
"I'm a woman."
The merchant elder was stunned for a moment, then showed a look of understanding.
Women always have to marry. If there are problems with the husband's family, something will happen.
At this time, Shang Yan'er took a deep breath and said,
"Spread the news to the outside world that the business leader Shang Yan'er has a physical abnormality and will be unable to marry for life!"
The merchant elders were suddenly stunned.
