- "Hey, what's the use of being anxious with me? We are on the same side." Lu Yi sighed depressedly:
"There are too many people talking now. Some people want to go east, some want to go west. Some people want to kill dogs, and some want to chase away chickens. I think unless the workers can be allowed to resume work, there will still be trouble for a while."
"Well, we three brothers are here to discuss resumption of work." Liu Yuanwai said calmly.
"It's difficult." Lu Yi shook his head and said, "With fewer people, nothing will happen unless we can get 200,000 weavers to resume work together."
"Of course we will resume work together, otherwise what would we do?" Liu Zhengqi Hao said.
"Ah, is it true?" Lu Yi was dumbfounded.
"Are you doubting the Dongting Chamber of Commerce or my brother?" Xu Zhixiang glared.
"I don't dare, I never expected it." Lu Yi waved his hands hastily. In these days, whoever can give him an order is the ancestor who cannot be offended.
"Who dares to deceive others at this time?" Liu Zhengqi waved his hand to stop Xu Zhixiang from getting angry, and said to Lu Yi: "We have tried our best to ensure sales. But if we don't start work immediately, everything will be in vain."
¡°How many orders can there be?¡± Lu Yi Baba asked.
"We don't have much time. Hurry up and gather the weavers and tell everyone together." Liu Zhengqi said in a deep voice: "Be quick, otherwise things will change if you are too late."
"Hey, that's good." Lu Yi suddenly regained his energy and asked someone to protect the other three members, including Liu Yuan, while he hurriedly ran to deliver the message.
??~~
Similar to the Dongting Chamber of Commerce formed by silk merchants, weavers also have their own textile industry guilds.
Through the guild, Lu Yi quickly conveyed the news brought by Liu Yuanwai to the ears of Orihu households scattered throughout the city.
"It's really a long drought and cold rain, and dead wood and spring. The weavers can't hold back all of a sudden.
Although many people are skeptical about the Chamber of Commerce, no one dares to stay angry. What if the order is limited and only given to those who are present and not those who are absent, will I regret it?
So no matter what they thought in their hearts, no one dared to delay, and they all rushed to the Luyuan in Loumen for the meeting.
??~~
As the name suggests, Lu Garden is the garden of the Lu family.
The ancestor of the Lu family is the famous Lu family of Wu County. The descendants of Lu Xun, Lu Ji, and Lu Yun are slightly inferior to the Langya Wang family in terms of family status, but their ability to spread branches is far better than that of the Langya king.
"Besides the Changzhou Lu family, the Kunshan Lu family, Shanghai Lu family and the Pinghu Lu family, who were almost wiped out, are all from the same clan.
Therefore, although the Lu family has been implicated in the aftermath of the fall of Lu Wan, the official secretary, and Lu Bing, the imperial governor of the Imperial Guard, and their influence has declined, no one dares to provoke this wealthy family that has been inherited for thousands of years and has descendants all over the south of the Yangtze River.
Therefore, Liu Zhengqi set the meeting location in Luyuan instead of the Dongting Business Gang headquarters, which is also located in the city.
This way you don¡¯t have to worry about an angry mob bursting in in the middle of the drive, dragging them out and beating them up.
The current head of the Lu family in Changzhou is named Lu Kuang, who is the youngest son of Lu Wan, the former Minister of Civil Affairs.
His father climbed to a high position as a heavenly official because he was passionate about fame and good at dealing with power, but he was also involved in King Ning's rebellion.
After the defeat of King Ning, the eunuchs searched his house and found the letters that Lu Wan had exchanged with him on weekdays. Emperor Zhengde was furious and issued an order to arrest him immediately and imprison his old mother, wife and children in Changzhou.
Lu Kuang was only seven years old at the time and was not spared. And witnessed his ninety-year-old grandmother die in prison.
Although thanks to Lu Bing's activities, the Lu family in Changzhou was preserved, Lu Wan was also spared from death and exile. However, this tragic experience left a deep shadow on Lu Kuang's childhood, which led him to refuse to go to school or become an official throughout his life, or even to deal with officialdom.
The so -called ¡®Lost East and Sangyu¡¯, the reputation of the Lu family in the Suzhou people is extremely high.
Therefore, he initially refused Liu Zhengqi¡¯s request Obviously, Liu Yuanwai and others were representatives of the governor and prefect. Getting involved hastily will make the citizens think that the Lu family has betrayed them.
But Liu Zhengqi came prepared. He told Lu Kuang that Lin Zhongcheng promised that as long as the Lu family helped quell the riot this time, he would use the power of the governor to change the descendants of Lu Bing, who had been in prison for nearly two years, to residential surveillance.
Back then, Lu Bing rescued the Changzhou Lu family who suffered the same fate. Now if Lu Kuang doesn't care about the life and death of the Pinghu Lu family, is he still a human being?
He finally agreed to let the Dongting Chamber of Commerce hold a meeting of households in Luyuan. They also took the initiative to contact Gusu's wealthy families such as the Gu family, Xu family, and Shen family in Wu County, and together they stood up to persuade the citizens to stop the riot and restore order.
The influence of the wealthy family and the Dongting Business Gang is enough to give most peopleMany Suzhou citizens have cooled down.
During the afternoon meeting in Luyuan, everyone was finally able to talk properly.
When Liu Yuanwai calmly presented the bailout plan, the resentment in the hearts of the households disappeared.
"Sign your name in the account book now, and you can get the silk tomorrow morning. You can also advance a start-up fee and distribute it to the weavers." Liu Yuanwai smiled at the weavers in the yard: "What other reason is there now? Are you making trouble again?"
"No, no." The Oritos did not expect that the solution would be so powerful. It greatly exceeded their expectations and was even a bit unbelievable.
"Liu, President Liu, from now on, we don't have to worry about sales anymore?" someone asked stammering.
"No need, didn't I just say that? From now on, Suzhou's silk industry will be underwritten at a protective price."
Liu Zhengqi waved his hand and said with a smile: "You just have to work with your workers with peace of mind. No matter how bad the market is, it will not go below this protective price. If the market gets better, acquisitions will naturally increase. In short, you will have a guaranteed harvest regardless of drought or flood in the future!"
"It's scary, it's so good"
"Am I dreaming?" The Oritos pinched each other excitedly.
¡°It hurts, it¡¯s really not a dream!¡±
"You are dissatisfied. Now that I have given you an iron job, there is no reason to cause trouble anymore, right?"
Liu Zhengqi finished singing "Bad Face", and Vice-President Xu sang "Red Face" again and said sternly: "If anyone still makes trouble, he will destroy everyone's jobs and our big pot!"
"Yes, yes, President Xu is right!" The weavers turned around completely and shouted one after another: "We, the two hundred thousand weavers, firmly support Lin Zhongcheng and the Dongting Chamber of Commerce!"
"The two presidents have already made it this far. If anyone makes trouble again, he is deliberately causing trouble!"
"This sounds like a human saying." Xu Zhixiang snorted: "After the meeting, send all your workers home as soon as possible, and start spinning the loom for me tomorrow!"
"Tonight, the army will enter the city to quell the chaos. Those who don't go home after dark are deliberately rebelling." After a pause, he said again with murderous intent:
¡°Not only will there never be any work, but we will not protect you when the government and county settle accounts!¡±
"Yes!" The Orihu households responded in unison.
