It was Fang Jingrong who came in. With a smile on his face, Fang Jingrong went forward and said, "I've worked hard for a few shopkeepers. I can make time today."
"Mr. Fang, you are very kind." Shopkeeper Hu wiped the chair beside him with his sleeve, and let Fang Jingrong do it with a flattering face.
When Fang Jingrong was seated, the table was slowly filled with food and wine.
Seeing that several shopkeepers didn't move their chopsticks, Fang Jingrong poured a glass of wine and raised it up: "four shopkeepers, one of us, thank you for Dashun's people today. We also ask four shopkeepers to do something about military pay."
Four shopkeepers, you look at me, I look at you, but no one responded.
At this time, the sound of footsteps came from behind? Is there anyone else coming at this time?
The four shopkeepers all looked back. However, they were too surprised to close their mouths.
"Chairman Cao, why are you here?" Shopkeeper Hu quickly stood up, and all the three shopkeepers around him stood up to greet each other.
I don't know who it is? The four shopkeepers met each other like this. Fang Jingrong's face couldn't hang.
"Chairman Cao, you are doing this moment." Shopkeeper Hu quickly wiped a chair out.
Shopkeeper Li nodded and wiped a pair of chopsticks: "Chairman Cao, what brings you here? Don't you always like this kind of scene“
Cao Qing sits in the middle of four shopkeepers, but his eyes are on Fang Jingrong.
It turns out that this is Fang Jingrong, Fang Chengye's son. Cao Bing knows what's going on. Fang Jingrong's eyes reveal his shrewdness. How could Fang Yuanning be his opponent?
Even if Fang Yuanning did not die, it was not certain whether he could live in the title of Marquis of Yuzhou.
The man's eyes made Fang Jingrong feel uneasy. But the man was young, about 20 years old, but he could win the respect of the four shopkeepers. His identity was certainly not simple.
"Who is this?" Fang Jingrong couldn't help asking.
Shopkeeper Hu responded and quickly introduced: "Mr. Fang, this is president Cao of our Yuzhou chamber of Commerce. He seldom attended such a lively scene in the past two years, so I don't know him."
"Mr. Fang, Mr. Cao is very polite." Cao Qinghua dropped, and raised a glass of wine filled with wine at hand: "Cao respects Mr. Fang."
After a glass of wine, Fang Jingrong opened his mouth again: "since President Cao has come, Fang is willing to make friends with you. Now Dashun is in chaos at the border. I wonder if President Cao can provide some military salaries for those soldiers. The country is stable, and the soldiers will not forget the contribution of President Cao in the future."
Cao Qing poured another glass of wine and drank it without hesitation. "It's also our business responsibility to serve Dashun, but Lord Fang must also know that everything we do in recent years has been in a bad state. It's not as good as it was a few years ago."
When Cao Qing said that, the others echoed.
"Yes, it's really hard to do business in the past two years. Compared with last year, the business of my shop has lost half as much."
”Why isn't that right? It's not that we don't want to do our part for the soldiers, but it's really that we have more heart than strength“
"This year, there are many things, either famine or flood. We merchants are always asked to raise money. These days, we are also people, and the whole family needs to eat."
"Ah, it's hard. I don't know what to do with my business. I can't do it any more!"
Fang Jingrong frowned. Is the president Cao who came here not a troublemaker? A few words, but let these big merchants just not firm mind to disturb.
"When the country is in trouble, several shopkeepers should be clear about the weight." Fang Jingrong's face became dignified. Seeing that none of these merchants could raise money, how could he not be in a hurry to bear the burden of Emperor Ming?
"Mr. Fang, we also know that what you said is reasonable, but we have no way. At this moment, none of us is tightening our belts?" Shopkeeper Hu sighed and then said, "now, we really don't have any money to help the adults raise their military salaries. This meal doesn't cost the adults any more. Just put it on my account."
Fang Jingrong's grip on the glass is gradually increasing. How can Cao Qing not see Fang Jingrong's forbearance at the moment? But he likes to see the appearance of his anger. He has been playing with Fang Yuanning since he was a child. Although Fang Yuanning is not a tool, he should not end up in such a situation. If Fang Yuanning's death is really like what his father said in his letter, It has something to do with Feng Su Su and Fang Jingrong. In the past, he positioned Fang Yuanning to seek justice.
Cao Bing pretended to be careless and spilled the wine cup on his body.
”I'm so sorry to all of you. I'm afraid I have to leave first“ Cao bing gets up and faces the people.
After Cao Bing left, shopkeeper Hu moved his eyes and casually found an excuse: "Mr. Fang, I'm sorry, my mother is ill, and I have to take medicine for her!"
With that, shopkeeper Hu made a farewell gesture and left quickly.
Next, shopkeeper Li, shopkeeper Zhu and shopkeeper song also find an excuse to leave. Looking at the empty room, Fang Jingrong slams his glass to the ground.
Is it because he is the concubine of Yuzhou Marquis that he is looked down upon by others? If he is a father here now, would those merchants dare to be so inferior? Originally, I wanted to let Dad see what he has achieved now, but I was beaten in the face by those merchants!
I don't know the origin of chairman Cao. Just because of his few words, the shopkeepers of the merchants pushed the matter of raising military pay completely. No way. He had to find a way to let the merchants raise military pay.
When Fang Jingrong got into the mansion, housekeeper Liu came to him and said that his father was waiting for him in his study.
It must be about raising the army's pay today. Fang Jingrong goes in facing his head. Fang Chengye looks at his ashen face and guesses something.
"Why, it's not going well to raise money for the army?" Those merchants are very fat, but they are as poor as an iron cock. Even if he goes, it will take a lot of time for them to come out with money.
"Dad, there are several merchants in the process of negotiation, but Dad will give me some time, and I will let those merchants raise their salaries!" If he can't talk twice, Fang Jingrong is determined that he will find a way to let the merchants take out the money.
Not long after Fang Yuanning's death, Fang Chengye seems to have aged a lot. Now he is suffering from all kinds of rumors. It's not so easy?
