"Your Majesty! The Governor has specifically summoned you!" Wu Shaotang hastily ran over to report, thinking that the Government Office must have also received the news.
All the merchants from Guangzhou Prefecture converged at his mansion; Wu Shaotang acknowledged that the Wu Family currently did not have such pulling power, hence it must be due to Zhu Wencong's renowned reputation.
Initially, only colleagues from the Thirteen Factories were invited; later on, foreign merchants from various countries were included. They came uninvited to pay a visit to Zhu Wencong.
Wu Shaotang couldn't turn away the foreign merchants, but as they began to arrive consecutively, other wealthy merchants also followed suit.
If the Wu Family mansion wasn't large enough, it really wouldn't have been possible to accommodate the visit of hundreds of merchants; Wu Shaotang suddenly felt as if the former glory of the Wu Family had returned!
