I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 183 Not lining up? I will fight even if the King of Heaven comes!

The fat man scolded: "Stop talking nonsense and wait in line!"

Liu Yan and Zhang Chu looked at each other, then looked at the long queue in front of them. Liu Yan's face darkened and he asked Zhang Chu, "What's going on?"

"I really sent people to inform everyone, but I don't know what's going on."

Liu Yan lowered his voice and asked, "You mean, our own businessmen don't listen to us anymore?"

Zhang Chu was speechless for a moment.

If this is true, what does it mean to Wu Guo?

This is not a simple business issue, this is a political issue.

This is a kind of loss of control in business management.

Wu State was in a state of military management of the Jiangling area, and there were no big families in Jiangling, so the management cost was very low.

Even so, it's still out of control now.

"Do you know what it would mean if this thing gets out of control?" Liu Yan continued to ask.

Zhang Chu said bravely: "But they are all here. Do we want to ask them to go back now?"

Zhan Ming on the side was silent, but he listened.

"They must be told to go back!" Liu Yan said angrily.

"now?"

"Yes! Now!"

"If the Shu people find out, I'm afraid it will have a bad impact." Zhan Ming hurried over and said.

"It doesn't matter. The merchants are my merchants in Dawu. As the chief secretary of Jiangling, I still have the power to order them not to participate in the business!"

"Ok."

For this reason, Zhang Chu didn't say anything.

Even though Liu Yan was just the chief clerk, Zhuge Rong gave him full authority when he came to Jiangzhou this time.

Both Zhang Chu and Zhan Ming knew that Zhuge Rong had a very tough attitude towards Shu money.

"go!"

Several people led others and hurried forward.

"Hey! What are you doing! I don't know how to line up!"

When the businessmen queuing up at the back saw it, they immediately became anxious and cursed: "You guys, hurry up and get in line! Even if the King of Heaven comes today, you have to queue up!"

"They don't line up! Stop them!"

The scene suddenly became chaotic, and Liu Yan, Zhang Chu, Zhan Ming and others were stopped.

"What are you doing!" Liu Yan said angrily, "Do you know who I am?"

"Even if you are a pig, you still have to queue up if you come here today!"

"I am the chief secretary of Da Wu Jiangling. Many of you here must be my Da Wu businessmen. I order you now to get out immediately..."

Before Liu Yan finished speaking, one of the young men rolled up his sleeves and punched Liu Yan in the face: "Immortal old man! I told you not to wait in line! Now we are all waiting in line!"

"You're welcome, don't give me face, beat these people who don't line up to death!"

"Go away and save a few punches for me! We worked so hard in line, but they dared to cut in line!"

At this time, Li Heng stood on the attic of Nashangsi and looked at the Chaotianmen Ferry outside the city gate.

I saw row upon row of boats, big and small, and many people squatting densely on the ferry shore, eating salt water cakes.

The so-called salt water cake is a normal cake dipped in salt water and eaten.

The ferry workers did hard work.

Some carry goods, and some pull fiber.

The amount of sweat they sweat every day is unmatched by ordinary people, so they need to replenish sufficient salt.

This kind of salt water cake is very popular. After eating the cake, they will drink the salt water together.

Of course, they cannot afford refined salt and can only eat lower-quality salt.

This low-quality salt is also provided by specialized merchants.

"There are a lot of people at Chaotianmen Ferry!" Li Heng saw this for the first time.

"Yes, since the free trade city was built, people have started to make a living and many people are willing to come here. Many of them were fishermen before. Now they can make a living by loading and unloading goods at the ferry and pulling fibers."

"How are the water properties?"       "They are all pretty good."

"It can be used in the future." Li Heng nodded, "When the war begins, mobilize everything that can be mobilized!"

While Li Heng and Dong Hong were chatting, Jiang Binsi hurried over: "Mr. Li, something bad has happened. That Liu Yan was beaten up! There are also Zhang Chu and Zhan Ming!"

"Huh?" Li Heng looked at Jiang Binsi with confusion and did not react for a while.

"The three people Mr. Li met yesterday were beaten up."

"Why?"

"Say there's no queue."

"Don't line up?" Li Heng spread his hands, "It's quite reasonable to be beaten. Don't make a fuss."

"But they said they were not here to participate in business promotion. Now they have brought them here and said they want to see Mr. Li."

"Where?"

"under."

"Bring it with you."

Not long after, Liu Yan, Zhang Cu and Zhan Ming were all brought up.

All three were beaten with bruises on their noses and faces.

Especially Liu Yan, who was still suffering from nosebleeds.

Li Heng smiled and said, "What's wrong with you three?"

"Mr. Li, you have to take good care of your people when they hit others!" Zhang Chu said with his whole body trembling, and even his voice was trembling.

"Who beat him?" Li Heng was furious when he heard this, "It's so bold, have you seen who the perpetrator is?"

"A lot of people!"

"Which people?"

"Those merchants lining up!"

"Businessmen in line?" Li Heng was even more surprised, "Did they beat you up?"

"That's right! It's them!"

Li Heng took a deep breath, looked at Dong Hong, and asked, "Are most of the businessmen queuing up below from the state of Wu?"

"Yes."

"Are you sure?"

"My official is sure." Dong Hong replied, "Most of them are from Wu State, a few are from Yizhou, and a very small number are from Yizhou."

Li Heng's eyes fell on Zhang Chu: "Your own people beat you. I am a little surprised. Do I have the right to deal with your people?"

Whether he has power or not is a matter of Li Heng's words.

The reason why he asked this was to dig a hole for Zhang Chu.

How did Zhang Chu answer?

"This..." Zhang Chu fell silent.

Liu Yan said angrily: "Li Jian, no matter who we are hurt by today, let's put this matter aside for now. I want all Wu merchants to go back!"

"Oh?" Li Heng was even more surprised, "Why is this?"

"We don't accept Shu money!"

Li Heng asked deliberately: "If you don't accept Shu money, that's a matter between the three of you. If others accept it, can you interfere?"

Liu Yan said: "I am dissatisfied with Mr. Li. I am the chief registrar of Jiangling and I am here on orders! I still have this power."

"Ah! It turns out that your Excellency is the Chief Registrar of Jiangling! Disrespectful!"

"My businessmen from Dawu are lining up here to buy salt. The court does not agree. I represent the Jiangdong court! Does Mr. Li think I have the power?"

"If your identity is true, that does have power."

"I am the Chief Secretary Jiangling!"

Li Heng pretended to think again, and then said: "Otherwise, if you go down now, I will call everyone over, and you can tell them that they are willing to believe you. What do you think?"

"Okay, Mr. Li is also a man who understands justice, so let's do it!"

Dong Hong said hurriedly: "Mr. Li..."

"Hey, Dahan and Wu are friendly countries. We have a profound friendship. We will try our best to satisfy our friends' requests."
