"Thanks to you, you have been in business for more than ten years. Without privileges and without taking advantage of loopholes, can you make money in a serious business? And it can't be solved by just saying you won't do it. Those boatmen, civilians, and cart drivers who transport grain

The grooms and the minions at the checkpoints all make a living from this. And I suspect that King Jin is just trying to confuse us. It is very likely that the people who are actually going to inspect the checkpoints at the docks are already in place!"

"Haven't all the accounts for so many years been settled? In addition, most of them are in the grain and rice business with us. The Caohe transshipment supports them. Even if the King of Jin brings people to investigate, what can be found? What can be found out?

Can he handle the matter? Without the hundreds of thousands of people transported by Caohe, the capital will be waiting for a northwest wind!"

"Sheng'er, you are a good person in business, but why don't you understand this? These people may not be moved by the court, but we can be replaced. If there is no Xiao family to take the lead in doing this, there will be others.

Come on, maybe the emperor wants to take it in his own hands! We are just blocking the emperor's way!"

Xiao Sheng was a little confused, "Then if that's the case, why not quit as a favor?"

"The problem is that we have no retreat now. If we say we won't do this now, who will take over in such a hurry? Who will be the liaison between these hundreds of thousands of people? And I can't tell the emperor openly.

If we don’t do this, let him do it.”

"Then why not use these hundreds of thousands of people as bargaining chips to exchange with the emperor?"

"Can we admit this? If we admit it ourselves, without the emperor's intervention, other families will fall into trouble together! I came back to you because I want you to come up with a perfect solution for me."

Xiao Sheng closed his eyes and thought for a while, "There is absolutely no foolproof solution to this matter! I do have an idea. While the King of Jin is still in Banzhu, we can transfer the property originally in the capital to Bianzhou. No matter what the outcome is in the future, Bianzhou

It is inevitable that the prefecture will become a transshipment center! When we withdraw from the capital, no one will be able to embarrass our father in court. The grain and rice business in the capital can be left to others. We only need to control Bian

The state is a huge profit! It’s just that we have no choice but to stop doing business in the capital from now on!”

Xiao Xian looked troubled, "My clan members are unwilling to give up. I asked them to lower their prices from now on and even give out rice and porridge, but they refused, let alone let them go to Bianzhou!"
