Unlike usual, today's chahasu people are dressed in military uniform, with armor and swords on their backs. They stand there like a big tin barrel, which makes people laugh, but they don't dare to laugh.
"Everybody! I'd like to invite you to come here today to discuss with you something important! I said, "listen, don't interrupt. Do you understand?" Chahasu's fierce look swept through the crowd and made people shudder.
"Our Nvzhen army will go home soon! To tell you the truth, the front line is not going well. Come back and have a rest first! So, there are two things to trouble you! "
Chahasu gave a pause and said in a loud voice: "the first thing is that from today on, the taxes of all Han merchants in Longquan City will be increased by three times."
As soon as this remark came out, more than half of the business owners here were buzzing and protesting.
More than half of Longquan City is a Han business. It has always enjoyed the same taxes as other merchants of all ethnic groups, which suddenly tripled. Who can afford it.
"Silence! I've already said that. Listen to me first! No interruptions! Who's going to say more, hehe! Have a try? " Chahasu growled.
The crowd gradually calmed down and closed their mouths. They did not dare to annoy the murderer.
"The second thing is that all the merchants in the whole city have to pay military expenses to supplement the consumption of the army! I have a list here. According to the scale of your business, it is clearly marked. You are allowed to pay the full amount within ten days. If you do not pay the full amount, all your property will be confiscated directly! "
With this remark, all the merchants present were shocked.
"And if anyone wants to escape, just go! As long as we get out of Longquan City, my Nuzhen cavalry won't recognize it and will be killed all the time! "
These words, like thunderclaps, hit one after another on the heads of the merchants, and everyone's face looked like dirt.
With a wave of his hand, chahasu distributed the long written list of military expenses to the merchants one by one.
When you look at it carefully, all the Han merchants immediately complain. The list clearly says that the Nuzhen merchants of the same scale only need to pay 100 liang of silver, while the Han merchants have to pay ten times as much as them. Such unfair treatment is just driving people to death.
For example, the merchants of Xi Laosan and Diao Wenhai have to pay 40000 taels of grain silver, while the merchants of Wu Caishen have to pay 100000 taels of grain silver. As for the big snow Pavilion, 200000 taels of grain silver, plus three times of taxes from now on, are going to drive the Han merchants to death!
For a moment, the whole audience was silent, and most of the people's hearts were cool.
Everyone left their hometown and came to Longquan City to make a living because there was fairness and a chance to live. But now, a war mercilessly shattered all people's lives.
As Han family members, their innermost feelings of course hope that their family can win, but it is a great tragedy that they have to bear the consequences of the win.
"Lord chahasu, we come to Longquan City to do business because the Nuzhen people can treat the businessmen fairly and make us profitable. If you do this, you will kill the chicken and get rid of the businessmen. Please think twice
The speaker is an old businessman. He is an old shopkeeper of xingdelong business. He has been engaged in grain business for 30 years. He has a high reputation in Longquan City. When the old man opened his mouth, many Han businessmen became agitated.
Chief chahasu narrowed his eyes, turned his mouth and waved impatiently.
Immediately, four Nuzhen soldiers rushed forward, dragged the old man out of the banquet, and dragged him into the back hall in the horror of the crowd.
A moment later, I saw a warrior stride in with a wooden tray. There was a white head in the tray. It was the head of the old shopkeeper who just spoke out.
In an instant, everyone was silent, and everyone was shocked by chahasu's ferocity.
Who would have thought that the fat man didn't agree with each other, so he really started to kill! Has Nvzhen completely torn off the mask of hypocrisy and started to slaughter Han merchants regardless of everything?
"Anyone else Chahasu said coldly.
For a moment, all the Han merchants at the banquet were angry, but they dared not speak up.
This chahasu has a heavy army in his hand. If he really slaughters the city, there are many Han merchants in the city, but no one can stop the front of the Nuzhen soldiers. Moreover, the return of the Nuzhen army is imminent. In the hinterland of the Nuzhen people, no matter what kind of resistance, it can be destroyed in a snap of the finger.
Even if all of you here are not weak in martial arts and powerful in wealth, there is no way to face the encroachment of the entire Nuzhen tribe.
"Wait a minute! I have a little question! " At this time, suddenly someone stood up and cried with a smile.
The whole audience was shocked by this remark! Who dares to touch the real woman's head at such a time? That old shopkeeper has proved it with bloody facts just now!
It's Shen Jianxin. The young man sat with the green beauty of the snow pavilion just now, which has aroused the suspicion of many merchants in the city. Everyone is wondering who the young man is? Why didn't the snow Pavilion owner who never showed his true face come?
"Well? Who are you? " Chahasu saw that he was a young girl of Nuzhen nationality, and he was very brave, and his coat was also very luxurious, so he asked patiently.
During the banquet, the Jurchen merchants looked at each other and wondered who the teenager was? I haven't seen it before! Why is he sitting with the people in the snow pavilion?
Who knows, the next sentence of the young man was even more shocking, which surprised everyone.
Because he said with a smile: "I'm a member of the yehenara clan of Nuzhen, and the snow Pavilion is my property! May I ask the chief soldier, how do you calculate the labor expenses and future taxes of Da Xue pavilion? "
Chahasu stayed for a while, but he didn't expect this.
There was an uproar at the dinner, and all the people immediately began to talk about it.
You know, daxuege is one of the most famous and largest businesses in Longquan City, even in the whole Nuzhen territory. Unexpectedly, it quietly changed its owner, and it's still an unknown young Nuzhen? This news may not be too shocking!
"You? You said you were the owner of the snow pavilion? Yehenara? Isn't that a small clan? " Chahasu said in dismay.
Shen Jianxin pulled Qiuye up and said with a smile: "from today on, yehenara is no longer a small family. We are very strong! Our people will soon move to Longquan City. We'll still have our own business here! "
Miss Qiuye of yehenara's family is good at dancing with long sleeves. Her beauty is well-known far and near. Many real women present knew Qiuye and whistled one after another.
At this time, the green beauty also got up and said with a smile: "the former leader of Da Xue Pavilion is ill. She has gone back to her hometown to recuperate! Before he left, the old Pavilion owner handed over the whole snow pavilion to bear boy. He is the owner of snow Pavilion! "
Green beauty in Longquan City is famous, no one does not know, her personal experience, let all around an uproar.
"Is that ok? Big snow Pavilion so big family property, so simple hand over
"That boy is a real woman. Maybe it's a shameful way! Alas! Even the strong men such as the snow Pavilion master have bowed their heads. We have no chance to resist. "
"That's the snow Pavilion! Alas! She was taken by Jurchen dog in silence! It's over, it's over
During the banquet, the merchants of Han Dynasty murmured, and they were in mourning.
