[Comprehensive] The five elements are short of money

The Jinling Commercial Bank General Assembly held every three years is about to be held, and it is rare to coincide with the selection of the head of the Chamber of Commerce once every nine years, which pushes the Chamber of Commerce to a climax.The old man of the Xue family has passed away, and the Xue family is looking at the end. The chamber of commerce is the most profit-seeking. At this moment, the scene is full of vigor and vitality, so how can we ever care about the hard work and hard work of the old master Xue.

There are many people coming to the chamber of commerce this time. I have already said that this is not a matter of one province and one government in Jinling. Many merchants from small countries, vassals, and neighbors have come to participate in the event. I don’t know who called the name "Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce" first. Although the name is not true, but there has been no such major business event in hundreds of years, everyone has changed their mouths and praised this "Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce".

The prefect of Jinling has long sent people to maintain order, and even the general in charge of the garrison has borrowed a group of people to maintain law and order on the streets, and even the elders of the gentry have repeatedly preached that Jinling must be built into a prosperous capital and a gentle town. Open the eyes of the bumpkins from outside, so as not to fall into the face of the land of Longxing in Jinling.

There were too many people participating in the chamber of commerce this time, and those who were eligible to receive invitations lived in the oldest, most prosperous, and most popular East Street in Jinling, and lived in the most luxurious inn in Jinling provided by the Yuan family for free.

At this time, on the East Street, it was already boiling.There are many locals who don't come to buy things or eat, but come to see something special.On the street, there are Miao girls in flowered dresses and silver dresses competing with immortals, Tibetan girls with long hair and thin braids, and expensive furs, and overseas Ryukyu and Qianxiang people, who wear thin clothes, as if they are not afraid of the cold, and the colorful clothes, Walking on the street is a landscape.

In the midst of the bustle and bustle, there are always some discordant tones. A young man dressed as a native of Qianxiang started arguing with the shopkeeper in the gold shop.

The young man from Qianxiang Kingdom must have been spoiled at home, so he entered the gold shop, looked around, and said, "It's such a small shop, how dare you hang a signboard of a century-old shop? This store, people from the Central Plains are really petty." His tone was arrogant, he didn't pay attention to this century-old store at all, and he pointed at the jewelry displayed on the cabinet, and wanted to intervene in the middle of the transaction.

Jinling held the International Chamber of Commerce, and most of these merchants who had shops on the East Street were attendees. For the sake of the country's face and the style of their hometown, they didn't bother to quarrel with a bumpkin. "

"Then I want this." The young man let go of the transaction in front of him, casually pointed to a set of gold ornaments on the side, took out one ticket and patted it on the counter.

"This is also reserved with customers, first come, first served, and cannot be sold to customers." The shopkeeper pulled his face down, not wanting to give the proudest work in his store to the person in front of him, although no one reserved it, he still put it away and was not ready. sell him.

"Nonsense, our young master asked the buddy a long time ago that there is a red label on the things ordered by customers. There is no such thing on this box. You are bullying us foreigners." The entourage brought by the man from Qianxiang Kingdom shouted.

"That's right, it's obvious that I came first and set the price earlier, so why do you want to sell it to other people? This is the credit of your Jinling merchants. What kind of Chamber of Commerce is there in this kind of place!" The man from Qianxiang Kingdom angrily said, His hands pressed the box so that no one could take it away.

"It was you who saw it first, but you didn't quote first. A bank note at random is considered a price, and it doesn't count if there is no note from the shopkeeper! There are so many things in my shop that customers can see. Can't wait for you to pick everything first? Where does such a big face come from? Our Central Plains is different from the barbarian country. Jewelry also has grades. A commoner like you can't wear the jewelry just now." The shopkeeper said with contemptuous eyes. Ann, the son of Qianxiang, snatched the box from him and handed it to the man behind him.

"You are looking down on our Qianxiang country, how courageous!" The young man was also angry, saying that he is not good, just be humble on other people's territory, but it is not acceptable to insult his own country, He was about to make a move while speaking, and roared: "Apologize immediately, and dare to say that our Qianxiang country is wrong, apologize immediately!"

"What you barbarian country has done is unbelievable. I will tell you the truth today. I will not sell you the jewelry in my shop! Except for those pearls, they are all spoils of war captured by our navy's defeat of Qianxiang country. You want , redeem it with silver!" The shopkeeper said not to be outdone.

The two confronted each other, and started a fight when they disagreed. It was a quarrel just now, and the onlookers could still watch the fun, but the fight was serious. The people on the outside rushed to inform the city patrollers, and the people in the shop also started to persuade them to fight.

It turns out that Qianxiang Kingdom and our dynasty have fought many times, and now there is no reconciliation. There are still tens of thousands of sailors on the border coast.Especially the shopkeeper of this gold shop, their family was originally a fisherman near the sea, and all relatives in the family died at the hands of Qianxiang people, and they settled down in Jinling after wandering and wandering. , This is not the fight.

There are many staff in the store, and the young men from Qianxiang Kingdom are also people of status, and they also bring a lot of entourages. The two sides joined the battle one after another to prevent their families from being beaten.The people standing outside watching were all locals, knowing that the matter was important, but they still subconsciously tried to help their own people, and persuaded them one after another: "Stop beating, and talk if you have something to say."

"Yes, yes."

"On our Jinling territory, don't be too arrogant!"

"These foreigners don't get their hands dirty, get out of the way quickly, someone has already informed the patrol team."

"Hey, that boy from Qianxiang Country is using his weapon, it's killing someone."

"You brat!" The onlookers threw a stool over and knocked out the man who showed his weapon.

The stools in the hundred-year-old store are also real things, solid wood and old sandalwood, and they are frighteningly heavy. As soon as the stool passed by, the entourage of Mr. Qianxiang came to the bottom immediately, and the blood on his head spread on the ground.

"Killed! Killed!" The onlookers screamed and dispersed.

"My lord, there are so many of them, they want to catch us all!" The people of Qianxiang Kingdom were also frightened, but what to do if they were surrounded by so many people, they all chose to kill us.

After coming and going, one of the clerks of the gold shop also lay down. Everyone can't see their own people suffer, and they help each other, but this person can't control the severity of the fight. In addition, after seeing blood, the people of Qianxiang Kingdom are not proficient in language. I can't understand the dialect that speaks too fast, thinking that these people want their lives, and the counterattack is even more fierce.

During the fight, a token fell out of the arms of the son of Qianxiang Kingdom. It was the symbol of Qianxiang Kingdom's navy division. The shopkeeper saw it once when his family was ruined and died. Spy of the navy!" Holding the scissors on the counter with his backhand, he rushed over and stabbed the person directly.

The people of Qianxiang country surrounded one after another, protecting their young master and retreating.

Only then did the patrol arrive late, calling for everyone to make way.

The team leader saw how many people were lying on the ground, and was startled. It would be even more serious if someone died, and quickly asked: "What's going on? Call the doctor from Huichun Hall!"

The onlookers suddenly realized, and hurried to the pharmacy to call for help.

The onlookers talked about what had happened, and the shopkeeper of the gold shop hurriedly added: "This man is a spy of the Qianxiang National Navy. Look, my lord, that is the waist card he dropped!"

"Nonsense, this is the son of our mighty general. His status is precious, but you low-class people can actually hurt him. You better pray for our son's safety, otherwise my Qianxiang army will surely crush Jinling!" The young master leaned on him, and the guard spoke harshly.

The patrol captain also had a headache. Even if he died, he still had a name. He was really afraid of something.

The doctors from Huichun Hall were surrounded by people and trotted in to see the wounds.The guards of Qianxiang Kingdom still refused to let go, and the patrol captain persuaded: "If something happens to your son, you can't run away, let the doctor treat the wound first. If you can't trust the doctor, can't you be better than me? Even if you can't trust me, I should Believe in this dress."

The patrol captain patted his uniform, fearing that this person of status would die in his jurisdiction, and pushed the best doctor in front of Mr. Qianxiang.

The guard finally nodded and stared at the doctor for treatment.

The doctors treated the wounds quietly, the scene fell silent for a while, everyone was thinking about it, what should we do about this matter?

In the study of the Xue family, the golden beast reported to Xue Xun: "Three people in the gold shop were seriously injured and 12 people were slightly injured, but none of them were in danger of life. Mr. Qianxiang Guotian was injured in the waist and abdomen. It is said that he might not be humane. Two people died."

"Is the gold shop owned by the Chen family?" Xue Xun asked, and the Chen family was also one of the sponsors of the chamber of commerce.

"Yes, the shopkeeper was hired from outside. He used to be from the coastal area. He had a feud with Qianxiang, and Mr. Tian didn't wrong him. Bad luck." The golden beast sarcastically said.

"That matter is really difficult to handle? Does the Secretary of General Administration know about Mr. Tian?"

"Should know?" Golden Beast said uncertainly: "The master told us not to have too many secret contacts with the General Administration Department, so as not to be exposed, and the subordinates will stop paying more attention to the internal affairs of the General Administration Department. But according to the previous efficiency, it is definitely not I will put more surveillance on these foreigners, master rest assured."

"Well, pay attention to the follow-up. If someone is injured and has difficulties, just help him without any trace." Xue Xun sighed. Mr. Niu is worthy of everyone's reputation. He just found out the identity of Mr. Tian and found someone to introduce him to the Chen family. The door was opened, and the rest happened just as he expected.Mr. Niu didn't control anyone or provoke anyone, he just calculated their experience and temperament, and knew that it would happen sooner or later.

Xue Xun knew the tricks behind the scenes, and innocent people were the ones who would face the impact the most, and he couldn't bear it. Although he used to intrigue in the mall, but he had never killed himself, he was very unsuited to the battle in the mall at this time, so he could only do so. Hypocrisy pays more attention to compensating those innocent victims.

Xue Xun was still sad, and after a while, another message came in from outside. The Golden Beast glanced at the note, and said in a low voice: "Master, Mr. Tian has a high fever and died."
