Chapter 335 Why don't you go grab it?

Yanziji, Caishiji and Chenglingji are known as the three major rocks of the Yangtze River. They are located in the northeast of Mufu Mountain outside Jinling City. They are located in the northeast of Mufu Mountain, facing the Yangtze River in the north. They are more than ten feet high. They are named after the swallows spread their wings and want to fly. They are known as the most beautiful rock of the Yangtze River. They are one of the important ferries of the Yangtze River. They have been a place that literati and poets have always visited since ancient times.

Although I have been in Jinling City for more than a year, I have never been to Yanziji. When I came here, I saw the rolling Yangtze River going eastward, the waves slamming on the shore, majestic and shocking. The imperial envoy held a banquet here to entertain the leaders of the three major families, so naturally there were officials who cleared the venue in advance, so there were no tourists on Yanzijiji today.

Although the three major families had a very quarrel with the imperial envoy, Li Muge came here very early. There was an open-air Guanyin platform on Yanzijie, which was located near the Guanlan River. At this moment, an Eight Immortals Table was set up.

Li Muge deliberately arrived late and hung the three of them on Yanzijie. The three had to drink tea on the Guanyin platform. When I arrived with Li Muge, the tea on the Eight Immortals table had faded out of the smell of birds. Although the three of them were hungry, they also bowed according to the rules.

Li Muge said, Guanlan Linjiang is so beautiful, the three leaders are so happy. I held a meeting all morning and came to eat a little. It was a sin to let the three eat it.

The King of Xuanyuan Swords clashed and said that he was loved by Lord Li and was so kind that he would be a banquet here. Even if he was suffering some pain, it would be worth it. I wonder what will Lord Li asks us three to come?

Li Muge said that he did not dare to be a deputy person, but just had a meal of ordinary food.

Someone had changed the tea but didn't serve the food. Li Muge didn't mention the raw silk and started chatting with the three of them.

The conversation was not a national event, it was just trivial. The weather was good today, it was sunny, and Wang Chong's third concubine's second brother-in-law's dog was stolen by a few beggars. After chatting for a few words, Li Muge became frustrated and leaned against the seat to sleep.

Seeing this, Wang Zhao and Xie and the other two did not see the serving food, so they had to chat without saying a word.

Zhao Qiansun, Wang Daxia, I heard that your thirteenth concubine is about to give birth, but I don’t know if she is a boy or a girl. In my opinion, she should be a boy. As a boy, it’s a bad name, such as Wang Gou Zuo, which is easier to support.

Although Zhao and Wang were in-laws, the Zhao family was very embarrassed in Jinling City due to Wang Linglong's affairs, and the relationship between the two families was not harmonious. Although Li Muge arrived and asked the three families to give up the estrangement and join forces for the time being, after seizing the opportunity, Zhao Qiansun could not help but run Wang Chong.

Although the Wang family is strong, when it comes to martial arts, the difference between Xuanyuan Sword King Chong and Zhao Qiansun is not a little bit. Not to mention Zhao Qiansun, even Xie Donglai's martial arts are far higher than that of Xuanyuan Sword King Chong.

Wang Chong said angrily, your Zhao Yu grew up so old, why didn’t he call Zhao Gousheng when he was a child?

Zhao Qiansun was not angry and smiled, "What's wrong with me, I really thought about it." Later, when he thought that Zhao Gousheng was not as good as Wang Gousheng, he gave him some names."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel, Xie Donglai came out to be a peacemaker, saying that speaking so randomly in front of the imperial envoy was insulting to be gentle. He said to Li Muge, "Sir, it's getting late, so why not serve the meal earlier, we can give you a drink!"

Li Muge opened his eyes and said, "Yes, serve the food!" Today's meal was cooked by the official himself for the three of them. No matter how delicious or bad it is, it is all a blessing. The three leaders should not eat too much!

Wang Chong said, the imperial envoy took action himself, and I, Wang Chong, would have to eat three big bowls of anything.

A guy brought a plate with a copper lid on it. The three of them drank tea for the morning of tea and were so hungry that they picked up the chopsticks and said, but they didn't know what delicious food the imperial envoy made?

The copper cover opened, but there was nothing inside the plate.

The three of them stopped in the air in their hands and looked at each other.

Li Muge asked, "Eat, there is still not enough, don't leave it!"

Wang Chong said, there is nothing, how can I eat it?

Li Muge reminded, you are watching carefully!

My eyes were sharp. It turned out that there was a silk in the plate. Not to mention picking it up with chopsticks, even with hands, it might not be able to grab it. I laughed in my heart. It turned out that Li Muge was deliberately messing with them. Wang Chong had to say, "Sir, how can you eat just one silk?"

Li Muge slapped the table and said, since you can't eat it, you will eat 100,000 kilograms of silk in the entire Jinling City without any left. I want to ask, how do you eat it?

The three of them changed their faces suddenly. It turned out that Li Muge had been waiting for them here. The three major families were doing raw silk to dominate the market, which disrupted the market. Although this was a market behavior, this matter was already related to the operation of the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau and the income issues of the inner court, so it was not that simple.

Among the three, Wang Chong was a wealthy family, Zhao Qiansun started from the underworld, and Xie Donglai was a concubine's son who successfully seized power. These three were all old people and had already practiced without any surprise.

The King of Xuanyuan Sword Chong said in a deep voice, Lord Li, we are all businessmen, we operate in compliance with regulations, pay taxes in accordance with the law, and merchants seek profits. We did this and did not pay less taxes. Now it is a market economy, so the court is too strict, right?

If it were someone else, Wang Chong would certainly not say that. He was bullying Li Muge for his young age, a newcomer, and he had not yet established a stable foothold in the local area. He was also a landlord, which meant to bully life. After all, a year ago, Li Muge was an ordinary student at the Jiangnan Academy and nothing was left in Jinling City.

Li Muge doesn't eat this, and says, "Mainly operate and pay taxes according to law?" Boss Wang, your Wang family has seven brothels and eighteen casinos in Jinling City, and they do business every day. How can you get the tax of only more than 1,300 taels of silver in a year? This little money is not as good as the owner of a small store in Liji Satin Village in the east of the city. Otherwise, I will write a memorandum with Beijing and we will send someone to check it out?

When Wang Chong heard this, his face immediately calmed down and he smiled and said, "Mr. Li, we are just kidding." What do you have any request? Even if you have any, you can discuss everything. Are you right?

Zhao Qiansun and Xie Donglai also hurriedly agreed.

Now that Feng Linggan is dead, the power of Jiangnan silk is among the masters of Li Muge. The three major families have become the dominant silk market in order to control the silk source and increase the bargaining chips for negotiations with him. Unexpectedly, Li Muge came to Jinling and looked uncompromising. Today, he finally had the opportunity to meet, which was a good time for negotiation.

In the distance, I saw the butlers of the three major families wanting to come in. It seemed that there was something important to report to the three people, but Li Zhong was blocked outside.

Li Muge said, discuss? I invite you to come today to notify you that the price of raw silk on the market in Jinling will be reduced to less than three taels within three days. This can be considered an official guide price for you.

Zhao Qiansun had a bad temper and heard this, "What, why don't you rob it?"

Li Muge said lightly, he was already snatching it.

The few officials outside couldn't get in, so they had to shout loudly, "Master, something is wrong!" Today, some officers and soldiers brought people to snatch the raw silk from our warehouse!

I was shocked. Li Muge brought five hundred soldiers from Suzhou and left the three people in Yanziji. He quietly snatched the raw silk stockings in the three major families. When the three people heard this, their faces changed drastically. Zhao Yu said angrily, where is the reason for the government to force buying and selling in the world? This is clearly a robbery act!

Li Muge said, if I remember correctly, the Zhao family started out as a robber, right? I would like to ask, how many of the three here are innocent?

Zhao Qiansun said that it is better to go home to sell sweet potatoes than to be an official and not to make decisions for the people!

Li Muge replied, "Being an official can't be a hooligan, so it's better to go home and buy sugar!"
