After talking for a while, everyone in the courtyard widened their eyes and stopped talking. If the merchants were still angry and wary at first, now it is really difficult to tell the truth from the lies.

Yi Gong's words were reasonable and reasonable, and his demeanor and tone did not have the arrogance of a conqueror at all. It was obvious that Rongyi would not take advantage of the victory to humiliate Dongshi. However, it was too unbelievable for the conqueror to return all the principal, and who would dare to do it rashly?

Believe it? Everyone was suspicious for a moment, and all their eyes turned to Kun, the Crown Prince of Hubei.

"Official orders are easy to talk about, and Mr. Rong is good at measuring things." Kun, the Crown Prince of E, laughed and said, "I accept it! I have collected the principal and stayed in Luoyi to continue doing business. Do you recognize it? I will say it myself!"

"I see!" General Manager Qi Shang said loudly: "We wanted to leave Luoyi because we were originally afraid that Duke Rong would regard us as our enemies. Now that Duke Rong is willing to bend the knot and make friends with us, how can we

How can I not respect others?"

"Fine! It's just that I, Dongshi, want to have a big banquet for Mr. Rong!"

"It goes without saying! Everyone has his own share, let's do it together!"

"Thank you so much!" Yi Gong cupped his hands and said, "I will reply to Duke Rong and set a date for the banquet tomorrow. Your Majesty, please take a moment to speak."

Yi Gong used his empty hand to invite the Crown Prince of E, Kun, to the side, and lowered his voice and said, "Rong Gong, please come to the official residence to discuss anything."

E Kun's eyes flashed, he hesitated for a moment, and then he agreed: "Go first, I'll see off the guests, and then I'll go to the West Market to pay my respects."

"That's it, I respectfully say goodbye."

Yi Gong walked away calmly. The merchants in the East City were both sighing and confused. Look at me and you, as if you were waking up from a nightmare. At dusk, you were still suffering from the loss of mountains and rivers. Two hours later, when the moon rose, you were lost and found again. If not

God’s will, how could life change like this?

On the other side, Rong Yi couldn't help but booed when he received Yi Gong's reward. No matter how the business war was won, if the big merchants in Dong City who had been in business for a hundred years left Zhou angrily, the livelihood of the people in Luoyi and nearby areas would be in danger.

It is very difficult. After all, the extensive Western Market is far from enough to make a living for millions of Zhou people in the vast area. Once the Eastern Market is gone, it will be difficult to cope with the disaster this winter and next spring.

When that time comes, people in both the government and the public will unexpectedly place the blame on Rongyi. Even if Ji Hu, the Emperor of Zhou, can protect him for a while, the little reputation that Rongyi has just gained in the Zhou Dynasty will definitely be gone.

How can we survive and have a career in the future? This outcome and response were figured out by Rong Yi when he led the ox convoy to the entrance of Luochuan Valley.

As soon as the mysterious man in Tsing Yi showed up, he believed that he would win this business war. The next problem was not the mysterious man in Tsing Yi, but the Andingdong City businessmen. What he could predict was that as long as the overall situation of the winter and spring disaster relief was stable, the government and the opposition would

No one cares about the profits of this business war. Only in this way can he dare to let go and deal with this problem. After all, businesses are based on making profits.

After careful calculation with Yigong, Rongyi divided all the profits into four parts: 20% each for the Tang family and the Guzhu Kingdom, 20% for the Dongshi, 10% for the official market, and 20% for King Xiongqu of Chu.

Because the Chu State was in bad debt and owed too much, Rong Yi did not want to be manipulated by others. There was still 10% left, so he left it with the Nanlin Society to fill the void, because all the remaining money from the society was also filled in this time.

The business war has affected the normal operation of social affairs.

"I didn't expect that the merchants from Dongshi were so knowledgeable." Yi Gong said with emotion.

"Tongda is Tongda." A rare smile appeared on Rongyi's face: "Now that I think about it, this place has a large population and strong city power, so our method of dealing with it is secondary."

"My disciple actually thinks that the master's handling is the fundamental thing. It would be completely different if it were replaced by a government official."

Rongyi laughed: "In the end, it's God's will!"

Just when the master and the disciples were chatting happily, the Prince of Hubei, Kun, drove his luxurious bronze chariot and came to visit. He came here firstly to accept Rongyi's invitation, and secondly to confirm the date of the banquet.

After the greetings were completed and they sat down to serve tea, E Kun got straight to the point: "I wonder why Mr. Rong invited me to come here?"

"Nothing else, I just want to get rid of the illness of the prince." Rong Yi smiled faintly.

"Oh?" E Kun raised his eyebrows: "I wonder what's wrong with me? How can Mr. Rong get rid of it?"

"When the prince came to Luoyi, he not only brought the treasury of the State of E,

Allocating a lot of wealth, even the private property of his own house and his mother's dowry were thrown into the Dongshi commercial war, all for the purpose of dredging the salt road in Hubei. Is that right?" As soon as Rongyi finished speaking, he was like a sword.

His eyes glanced at E Kun in the guest seat.

E Kun's cheeks trembled for a moment, and then he returned to normal and said: "Jimo Salt Market is chasing my E family. I think sir already knows about it. I have no choice but to invest all the funds in Luoyi East City for the purpose of transiting the salt road.

"Currently, Rong Gong has taken control of the two cities in the east and west. I hope that Rong Gong can sympathize with the hardships of the people of Hubei and leave a salt road into Hubei. Kun will be grateful!"

Faced with Prince E's attitude of being arrogant and then respectful, Rong Yi was not surprised at all. He had already known that the price of salt in E City had soared tenfold, and there were even incidents of people smashing stores to grab salt in the market. As a professional

How could the Crown Prince of E not be in a hurry when dealing with this matter? What's more, the Governor of E had spoken first, and the salt road was impassable. The Crown Prince E Kun didn't have to do anything anymore. It was about the reserve, wasn't it an urgent matter?

"Easy to say, easy to say." Since the other party took the initiative to give in, Rongyi accepted it and said, "A certain person also has a salt farm in Jimo. If he doesn't have enough, he can also purchase it from others. If the prince is interested, the salt needed by the country of E will be in the future.

, whether it is coarse salt, refined salt or printed salt, our company can provide it. How about it?"

Like a pie falling from the sky, E Kun was overjoyed but also hesitant, as if he had been hit in the head by a piece of fat. He wanted to eat the piece of fat, but was afraid that there was a mouse trap hidden under the meat. He struggled with a complicated expression.

After thinking for a while, I finally came up with a question: "May I ask, sir, what is the market price?"

"Whatever other people price, I will pay. Your Majesty, you don't need to worry too much."

"Sir, are you serious about what you said?" Ekun's eyes flickered and hesitated.

"How about you and I make a contract for one year?"

"Oh, thank you very much for that, sir. I originally thought that after this failure, I could only return home and resign myself to fate. I didn't expect Mr. Tianjiang to be such a noble person to me. It's really ------" The corners of E Kun's eyes were quite bright.

Ying's tears flashed.

"It doesn't have to be like this, the prince doesn't have to be like this." Rong Yi consoled him, "I know that the prince is in a difficult situation in the country, and Rong has no other choice but to make friends with the prince. Business has no country, and it is only connected with the livelihood of the people. If you are limited by prejudice, you will be wrong."

You have lost your true colors. The people of E are also the people of Zhou Dynasty!"
