??In Linzi East City, inside a residence.
This house is located in the inner city of Dongcheng, and the location is quite good. The original Linzi City was actually relatively spacious, but after Linzi became the capital of Qi State, more and more people gathered there.
The original Linzi County town could no longer accommodate more people, so the city was expanded and the outer city was built to continue to expand the city outwards. Therefore, many people and businessmen lived in the outer city. Although it is farther from the inner city, it is still within Linzi City, and accommodation is also cheaper.
In the study room, a middle-aged man in his thirties was looking through information.
This person is Yu Chengen.
Yu Chengen is not from a wealthy family. Three generations of his family have been businessmen, and they are all quite intelligent. Ordinary businessmen, after becoming successful in business, will start to transform, hoping to step into the circle of nobles and become a noble.
Yu Chengen is not happy, he just concentrates on business, and the business he runs is not only food, cloth, but also farm tools, etc., and he continues to open up more industries.
After new grains appeared in Qi, such as sweet potatoes and potatoes, Yu Chengen arrived in Linzi early and was responsible for the business of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, relying on him to seize the opportunity first.
After Yu Chengen established himself, the industry further expanded and he began to operate other industries. In particular, Yu Chengen's business also relied on Zhao Yuyan's line. Yu Chengen did a lot of food supply and some necessary business. He now has a high influence among the businessmen from Yanzhou to Qingzhou.
There was a hint of worry in Yu Chengen's heart.
He had previously received news from Yanzhou that Cao Xuan had sent troops to the border between Yanzhou and Qingzhou to station troops in Jibei State and might invade Qi State at any time. This situation amounts to a blatant provocation. Once the two countries go to war, it will be extremely detrimental to Yanzhou merchants.
It just so happens that he is a businessman.
It cannot affect Cao Xuan.
While Yu Chengen continued to look at the business account book information, the housekeeper of the house came in. The housekeeper stood still and said: "Master of the house, there is a message from the Ministry of Household Affairs. Mi Huang, the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, please go and discuss the matter."
"knew!"
Yu Chengen immediately agreed.
He had met Mi Huang before, but the two sides had very little interaction. After all, the other party was a minister, so how could they always have intersection with him? Now that he heard Mi Huang's summons, Yu Chengen suddenly thought that the matter of stationing troops in Yanzhou was probably related.
Yu Chengen tidied up, changed his clothes and went straight to the household department. He entered the household office. In the hall, he saw Mi Huang who was handling government affairs. He stepped forward and saluted, "Yu Cheng'en, a common man, pays homage to Minister Mi."
Mi Huang shook the brush in His Excellency's hand and said, "Here, bring the chair."
The order was given, and the attendants brought the seats.
Mi Huang waved his hand to signal Yu Chengen to sit down, and Yu Chengen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Mi Huang never asked directly about the crime, so the matter still had to be discussed, and there was still a lot to discuss.
Yu Chengen sat down half-assed, and immediately asked: "I have been summoned by Minister Mi, do you have any orders?"
Mi Huang smiled and said, "Mr. Yu, don't be nervous. I invite you here today because I want to tell you some things in advance so that you and the merchants in Yanzhou can be prepared."
As soon as Yu Chengen heard that the entire Yanzhou businessmen were involved, he knew that it must be Cao Xuan's troop garrison. Yu Chengen's face didn't reveal anything, and he solemnly said: "Please give me your instructions, Minister Mi."
Mi Huang's face gradually became serious, and he said slowly: "The imperial court of Qi State has received news that Cao Xuan of Yanzhou has sent troops to the border of Jibei State. He has already stationed troops on the border and is ready to invade Qi State at any time."
"This incident will inevitably cause the relationship between the two places to take a turn for the worse. Further, it may bring a lot of instability and a lot of trouble to Yanzhou merchants doing business in Qi."
"I called you here just to tell you that I ask you to forgive me for the changes caused to you. This is not what Qi State wants. Qi State wants to passively fight. Another point is that Qi State will temporarily blockade At border checkpoints, it may be difficult to transport the materials involved, so I hope you can make preparations in advance."
Mi Huang¡¯s posture was very low.
This is done on purpose.
It shows the sincerity of Qi State and the violence of Yanzhou, forming a sharp contrast.
Yu Chengen was surprised when he heard it. He didn't expect that what Mi Huang said was like this.
He was actually worried that Mi Huang would be held accountable, and even worried that Mi Huang would doubt him and possibly prohibit their freedom. But Mi Huang didn't, or Wang Qi didn't do this.
Yu Chengen was grateful in his heart and said solemnly: "Mi Shangshu, the merchants of Yanzhou are very grateful for King Qi's great kindness. Please Mi Shangshu tell King Qi that we will do our best to organize efforts to lobby Cao Yanzhou. We are doing business. Businessmen don¡¯t want this to happen. Even though their abilities are limited, they will still do their part.¡±
Mi Huang nodded and said nothing more.
Although he actually needed Yu Chengen and others to intervene in the situation in Yanzhou, arouse public sentiment and form public opinion, this cannot be said and can only be understood but not expressed.
Mi Huang said: "Mr. Yu, the matter is roughly about this. You should handle it by yourself and prepare in advance to avoid being caught off guard and difficult to deal with when something really happens. I still have many government affairs to deal with, so I won't I¡¯ll leave you to have tea.¡±
Yu Chengen said: "The common people say goodbye."
He turned around and left.
On the way back, Yu Chengen also kept thinking about the war between Yanzhou and Qingzhou. When he returned to his house, Yu Chengen directly ordered people to notify the main Yanzhou merchants doing business in Linzi.
About two-quarters of an hour later, nearly twenty people gathered, all of whom came to Qi to do business. In fact, in addition to these people, there are many other people, but many other people are scattered throughout Qi State and cannot come back to participate in the meeting for the time being.
Yu Chengen looked around at the crowd and said directly: "I have hurriedly invited you here today because there is a conflict between Yanzhou and Qi. It is very likely that a war will begin, and it may even affect us. Please discuss this matter in advance."
As soon as he said this, an old man with a bright head sitting at the top of the left side of the crowd took the initiative and said: "Speaking of this matter, I also got the news that Cao Xuan sent troops to the border of Qi State and made a gesture of attacking Qi State. The King of Qi was so powerful that he never approached Yanzhou. On the contrary, Cao Xuan thought he was right and took the initiative to provoke."
"Isn't this the same as putting your face in for a beating? Moreover, it is also an active provocation and triggering a conflict. Cao Xuan's move is really ridiculous. I really don't know how he thought about it."
¡°I¡¯m really pissed off.¡±
"You must know that when the war started, those of us doing business were not human beings inside and outside. Even if we manage to do some business, we will be affected. At the least, our family business will be ruined, and at worst, our lives will be in danger."
The old man¡¯s name is Hong Yibo. He is mainly engaged in the silk and satin cloth business, and his business in Qi State is not small.
After Hong Yibo finished speaking, the others spoke one after another, with dissatisfied expressions on their faces. They all disagreed that Cao Xuan wanted to start a war because it would affect them.
Yu Chengen raised his hand and pressed it down, and everyone fell silent. He continued: "Mi Shangshu summoned me just now and said two things. The first is that war may happen and it will affect us, so we ask for our understanding."
"The second is that the border may be closed. Let us prepare in advance to avoid being affected. Qi State is extremely benevolent and righteous. But Cao Xuan's provocation may have bad consequences."
"I think we need to do something now, at least to resolve the conflict."
Yu Chengen directly expressed his thoughts.
After all, he doesn¡¯t want his family business to be damaged, let alone a war.
Hong Yibo stroked his beard and asked, "Shopkeeper Yu, how do you plan to resolve the conflict?"
The rest of the people looked at Yu Chengen.
You must know that this is a war involving the entire Qi State and Yanzhou. They are just businessmen and may not have much energy.
Yu Chengen said: "What happened this time, my consideration is that we arrange for some people to return to Yanzhou quickly to spread the news about King Qi's benevolent government, and also to take care of us. In the end, it is definitely not a good idea to spread the word that we are enemies of Qi State. , it is not conducive to us in Yanzhou. In short, all aspects of propaganda hope that Yanzhou will stop the war."
After a pause, Yu Chengen continued: "In the end, I hope that Cao Xuan will make a truce and not continue to make mistakes on the wrong path. Otherwise, it will be extremely detrimental to Yanzhou and will make Yanzhou, which has just been stabilized, fall into war again. What we can do Yes, that¡¯s it, other aspects are hard to touch on, what do you think?¡±
Hong Yibo thought for a while and said: "I think your suggestion is feasible. In that case, we will proceed according to this strategy now, and we will each work hard."
"Yes, we all use our own efforts."
"If you have great ability, influence more people. If you have little ability, do your best."
"Nowadays, Yanzhou and Qi are doing business, and the business exchanges between the two sides are actually beneficial to Yanzhou. After all, Yanzhou is short of grain and grass. Now sweet potatoes and other things have entered Yanzhou, which is beneficial to the people of Yanzhou. Furthermore, Yanzhou's business is also flourishing."
"Alas, after all, Cao Xuan was too arbitrary. He shouldn't be so short-sighted."
Each businessman kept talking.
Everybody expressed their opinions.
After hearing this, Yu Chengen waved his hands and said: "Since everyone thinks there is no objection, let's go and act on our own. Hurry up, we don't have much time to arrange. After all, King Qi is very likely to send troops to deal with Yanzhou."
After everyone received the order, they hurriedly left to prepare. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)mouth.
