Chapter 217 Things have changed

For six or seven days, the Vital Beef Balls and Vital Balls were fully prepared, but there was still no decisive news about the guild.

In the backyard, Lin Dong was trying to use the Yukong Realm to lift the blue gauze on Yun Lan's face. He was futile countless times. When he was a little discouraged, Ma Chun ran away from afar.

"Shopkeeper, something big happened."

While panting, Ma Chun was covered in sweat and twitching, his whole body seemed to be poured with a basin of hot water on his head, and soaked.

Lin Dong stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"

"The guild was cancelled." Ma Chun's chest was undulating.

"The guild was cancelled? This is good news." Lin Dong was stunned and immediately laughed. One reason, the guild was already concluded, and the big players who ran to Fenglin Restaurant all day long should start to return. Second, Lin Dong had no interest in using guilds to suppress his competitors, and he also did not want the development of the inn to be tripped by the guilds.

Ma Chun smiled bitterly, gasped, and said helplessly: "Shopkeeper, I haven't finished speaking yet. The guild has been cancelled, but a business association has come."

"Business Association?" Lin Dong frowned and said, "What the hell is going on?"

"It is said that yesterday morning, when the Censor Wang suddenly proposed that merchants from various counties could form guilds by themselves, there are three disadvantages. First, merchants in various prefectures and counties cannot participate in the discussion frequently because they travel for one or two months. This is not only unfair to them, but also means that the entire guild is in control by merchants in the county town. Second, the difference in freight costs in various places. If the goods are transported to other counties in a unified manner, the pricing will easily cause controversy. If it is too high, it will affect sales. If the freight costs are low, it will be unsatisfactory. If the price is low, the freight costs will lose money or make small profits, and I will definitely not agree."

After a pause, Ma Chun continued: "Thirdly, the prices in different places are different. In the county town, a log can be sold for hundreds of cents, but in the county town, it only costs a few dozen cents, or even more than ten cents. If the prices of goods in the entire county are unified, if the floating price is too small, the merchants in the county town may not be able to sell it, and the merchants in the county town will lose money again. If the floating rate is too large, there is no need for this business to exist, and it will not be able to play the greatest role of suppressing large merchants deliberately suppressing prices or raising prices."

Lin Dong said in surprise: "What's going on with the business association?"

"God knows what's going on." Ma Chun said helplessly: "It seems that it was the result of discussion by all the ministers of the court. It was said that the guild with the county as the whole was abolished and the business association with the city as the whole was abolished."

"Taking the city as the whole?" Lin Dong said in surprise: "Can you put all industries together, a county, and all businessmen form a business association?"

Ma Chun was stunned and shook his head and said, "The news is vague, I can't figure out if this means it. It is said that this business association can improve these three disadvantages."

Lin Dong pondered for a moment and asked, "Have the business association confirmed?"

Ma Chun shook his head: "I heard that I am arguing whether the business association can be allowed to collect a sum of money from merchants. If it is not charged, the business association will not be able to maintain its external business contact, and there are still personnel who do not have wages. But if it is charged, it will be appropriate to collect more than one year. It seems that the Ministry of Revenue has already asked the Ministry of Revenue to find someone."

Lin Dongtou is as big as a cow, and it has been more than 20 days. If you drag it down, with the strength of Fenglin Restaurant, you will take the opportunity to make a few more tricks, which may make most diners accustomed to running to Fenglin Restaurant all day.

After more than twenty days, Lin Dong felt nervous for two months and asked, "Is there any movement in Fenglin Restaurant?"

Ma Chun shook his head: "No, everyone in Fenglin Restaurant is busy now. If you want to talk about it, you can only recruit a friend, and you can recruit twenty ones in one breath."

Lin Dong suddenly felt that Fenglin Restaurant regarded this guild business association as a major conspiracy to suppress all restaurants in the Han Kingdom.

Otherwise, the matter that was about to settle down suddenly started again. If you were to have such a good opportunity, even if you couldn't think of any tricks, you should take the opportunity to increase the price reduction a little. In this way, one or two big restaurants would choose to close their business for fear that the business association would be delayed.

Fenglin Restaurant is so peaceful that it must have other plans.

Although Fenglin Restaurant cannot dominate the trends of the court, it should not be difficult to collect relevant information and analyze the approximate outcome.

This business association is not only related to the interests of merchants, but also to the interests of court officials. If these court officials fight each other in order to divide the interests more, it is likely to be delayed for a long time.

If this is the case, it would be normal for Fenglin Restaurant to have no movement.

First, let the major restaurants mistakenly think that this matter will be finished soon. After waiting, almost all the diners will go to Fenglin Restaurant. If you find a way to attract people to turn back, you will have to pay a lot of money or even reduce the price. At that time, Fenglin Restaurant only needs to find a way to force the major restaurants to continue to fight. The longer the business association is delayed, the more big restaurants will be eventually dragged down.

"Fenglin Restaurant, ruthless enough." Lin Dong gritted his teeth. The news would really take two months. If Linji Inn does not fight back, it will ensure that no diners will run away. If the price reduction is used to fight back, it will also fall into Fenglin Restaurant's calculations.

When the matter of the business association is settled, even if Linji Inn makes vitality beef balls and vitality balls, Fenglin Restaurant will give some gimmicks. After the big players forget about the inn, they can also offset most of the attraction.

"Shopkeeper, what's wrong?" Ma Chun asked.

Lin Dong said without hesitation: "How much business is there now on the second floor of the inn?"

"A little over fifty tables a day." Ma Chun said helplessly.

"No rush to wait." Lin Dong calculated and said immediately: "Prepare the car, I'll go to the Li Mansion. You are responsible for organizing the handwritten invitations from people and sending them to all the wealthy families in the north of the city. In addition, inform Qiao Tianhao and ask him to take people to the gate of Dongcheng to wait for me."

"Write an invitation?" Ma Chun said in surprise: "Don't you distribute flyers to all the big players in the city?" The first release.

Lin Dong said loudly: "One or two later, get the north of the city first. Remember to stagger the time on the invitations, all the wine and dishes with invitations, one table of one or two silver dishes, plus two plates of lively beef balls, and Feng Tongran said: "If you can keep the momentum of talking about business with Ma Chun just now, it will be great for you to meet an opponent with equal strength."

"I was very imposing just now?" Lin Dong said in surprise.

"Yeah," Yun Lan explained: "Especially when you make a decision."

"Look for it when you come back."

Lin Dong smacked his lips and walked towards the front yard with a smile.

When he arrived outside the lobby, a carriage was already parked at the door. He took the whip handed over by his friend. Lin Dong jumped onto the car body and waved the whip to the city.

When they arrived at Li's mansion, it was almost noon. Fortunately, Li Jiancheng had already returned from the government office. He did not waste much time. Lin Dong told the story and the two immediately went out and rushed to the east of the city without stopping.

Outside the city gate, Qiao Tianhao, with nine men and two carriages, had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing Lin Dong stopping the car, Qiao Tianhao hurriedly approached, completely ignored Li Jiancheng beside him, and said: "Shopkeeper, didn't you say it would take some time? Why did you set out today? Fortunately, I was afraid of an emergency at the beginning, so I took it tight these days, otherwise they would definitely not meet the standards of the shopkeeper."

"Okay, take someone with me and set off immediately." Lin Dong said with a glaring eyes.

Qiao Tianhao nodded quickly, called the guys to get on the car, and then followed Lin Dong's carriage and headed towards Junling Academy several miles away.

When he arrived at the academy, Li Jiancheng showed his identity. The great master of Qiufeng Mansion came to visit, but the guards dared not be negligent. They immediately divided into two groups, one group went to notify the dean, and the other group brought everyone into the academy.

All the way, students fighting against each other in the martial arts field were everywhere, and it was obvious that they were all students who learned martial arts.

When they arrived at the innermost courtyard of the college, everyone stopped. Outside the gate, an old man in his sixties walked slowly.
