Chapter 167 Cooperatives (Part 2)

The grandson of the Cai Mansion and the Su family were waiting anxiously. Each family entered the Cai Mansion one after another, but the news they received made the families worried. They had already learned the exact news from the government that Xiaowu Yaye must have gone to Kaifeng, but Su Mei wanted to stay in Hangzhou.

Various families were worried, wave after wave of testing, and disappointed again and again. When they saw Sun Sui, Su Renli walked out of Cai's mansion, Su Rensi took the lead.

"Did Mei Niang forgive me the Su family?"

Su Renli shook his head and was about to speak, Sun Sui on the side snorted coldly: "It's just Xiaowu Yanei's benevolent and righteous. If it's his family, it's good not to throw the ruthless and unrighteous person out of the mansion!"

"snort!"

Sun Sui snorted coldly, Sun Wenshuo, dressed in a plain white scholar costume, stepped forward and supported the clan uncle with one hand, while saying, "What my uncle said is that everyone in Hangzhou knows the care of the Su family. He is stupid and admits that he has colluded with the demon. It is worthy of being deducted by the government. Su Rui is even more shameless and indignant. The Su family has already enforced the collusion with the demon. Xiaowu Yanei still saved the Su family's elders and young people. It would be fine if they were not grateful. They stabbed Xiaowu Yanei on the street with the thief. Such a ruthless and unrighteous family can still come shamelessly..."

Sun Wenshuo looked disdainful and disgusted. Sun Sui once again looked at Su Renli and Su Rensi, who were blushing but silent.

"Xiaowu Yanei is kind and righteous. Some are not ashamed, but they repeatedly use blood and family affection as a threat. Humph! If someone is a little embarrassed, they also know that the tenth wife and they also know that Xiaowu Yanei does not owe any kindness to the Su family!"

As he said that, Sun Sui scolded Sun Wenshuo again.

"No dealings with the Su family in the future, and the previous engagement will be abandoned!"

Sun Wenshuo said seriously: "My nephew will leave the Su family's marriage tomorrow and no longer interact with ruthless and righteous people."

Sun Sui and Sun Wenshuo said regret for the marriage in front of the Su family. They were both angry and angry, but they could not come forward to argue, and silently supported each other back to the Su family.

Sun Sui couldn't pity the misery of the two. If it weren't for them, how could his family end up in such a difficult situation? How could the clan uncle die in prison? He was angry, but reason still gained the upper hand. He reached out to hold Sun Wenshuo's clothes. Sun Wenshuo hurriedly lowered his body a little and put his head closer.

"Xiaowu Yanei wants to form the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. The tenth wife is the president. She also selects two vice presidents and seven deacons from each family and tenants. Now she goes to each family and says... The Sun family has agreed to Xiaowu Yanei and will take more responsibilities in the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce."

Sun Wenshuo was a little puzzled, not understanding what the relationship between the establishment of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce of Cai’s family was related to them. Seeing that he was stunned, Sun Sui was suddenly annoyed and pulled him closer. He said a few words in a brief manner, looking at Su Renli surrounded by the Su family with a gloomy face.

"Xiaowu Yanei gave the Su family two conditions. My uncle never believed that the Su family would be willing to be a slave. He would definitely choose to borrow money and would definitely try to become a deacon and buy the share of the land of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce..."

"Why?!" Sun Wenshuo was immediately anxious. Before Sun Sui finished speaking, he said anxiously: "According to his uncle, the fields under the name of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce were all purchased by Xiaowu Yanei at a low price. What does it have to do with the Su family? The fields of the Su family have been confiscated by the government. If the Su family wants to purchase the fields for a cost-effective manner, they should also go to the government!"

Sun Sui lamented in his heart, and naturally knew this truth, but when he thought of the shameless old man...

"Xiaowu Yanei is still too soft-hearted. Even if Xiaowu Yanei agrees to be unsatisfied, each family will never sit idly by and watch the production of the Su family be divided!"

"Not mentioning the Su family, there are all dissatisfied with the response, but the Sun family must win the vice president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce!"

After Sun Sui made a rough explanation, Sun Wenshuo immediately understood what the vice president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce would mean. The Sun family gathered together, and not long after, they all ran away with red faces and necks. At the same time, the Su family and the young and old gathered together but were quarreling. One was a "100,000 yuan" of money loans, and the other was an affiliated family like a "family slave". The young and old immediately started a quarrel. When Su Renli told the matter of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, the quarrel became one side, just like Sun Sui's guess. The Su family will strive for the right to speak in the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce.

The Song Dynasty was an era when business was king, with completely different land policies from each dynasty. The country was based on agriculture, because agriculture was the basis of everything and the original raw material of all products, at least before the injected incomprehensible grain from overseas.

Because land is the basis of stability, all dynasties attached great importance to land ownership and tried their best to prevent the large amount of land from flowing into the hands of a few people. However, the Song Dynasty did not prohibit the people from annexing land between each other, and high taxes accelerated the loss of land.

Trading business, tax policies, and the checkpoints set up by the volunteers of various prefectures and counties also indirectly accelerate the loss of land, because merchants cannot pass through several prefectures, because most merchants can only sell their own goods locally, because merchants rely on land production, because successful merchants must have enough low-cost goods, because...

Too many reasons and too many reasons force merchants to swallow up a large amount of land. The more successful the merchants are, the more land they own. Listening to Su Mei talking about these idiots all day long, Cai Yan also knew this problem and swallowed countless fields in several months. Even if the major families still have some cash, it is only a matter of time before they have lost the low-cost land output.

When Dongmei whispered about the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, Su Mei stood in front of the window for a long time, her mind full of conversations between mother and son a month ago...

"It seems that the Song Dynasty is prosperous and the people are prosperous, but this is not the real people are rich and the country is strong. It is because the court has high taxes. Ordinary people have to try their best to create wealth in order to make a living, which makes them seem prosperous and prosperous."

"The government monopolized all walks of life through administrative means and taxation, but there is an unchangeable fact that all the industries in the city are ultimately based on the grain and tea mulberry produced by fields. The imperial court obtained huge amounts of land output through summer and autumn taxes, and taxes were only part of the land output, not all, but if all the land was earned by one person or one family, the situation would be different."
