Five days later, Qingzhou City, the Governor's Mansion.
"Thank you to Her Royal Highness the Princess for your righteous action. The Shangguan family will definitely remember Her Royal Highness's kindness..."
The head of the Shangguan family saluted respectfully, with a smile that couldn't be concealed on his face.
Their Shangguan family's inventory was finally thrown out.
The other heads of the family also saluted and expressed their gratitude to the eldest princess for being pregnant.
"Thanks to the help of Her Royal Highness the Princess, my Gongsun family..."
"Your Highness the Princess is so kind and kind to me, the Tang family..."
"Your Highness the Princess's kindness will be unforgettable for the rest of our lives..."
...
Under the arrangement of the eldest princess Huaizhen, everything went according to the original plan, and the surrounding cities were temporarily blocked so that locusts from various places could not be sent to Qingzhou City to break the price of Qingzhou City. During this period, the Qingzhou government cooperated with several major families to A good show was put on, a game was made, and all the gamblers, wealthy businessmen, and small aristocratic families who wanted to get rich overnight were killed.
When the city becomes unblocked and prices plummet, the locusts they have hoarded will become completely useless and worthless.
But just now, the ban has been lifted, and the price of locusts has plummeted. In just one or two hours, the price has shrunk by more than ten times.
There are so many locusts in the market that they cannot be sold at all! !
"Are all the heads of the family satisfied?" Huaizhen looked around at everyone, neither angry nor happy, and slowly put down the tea cup, exuding a sense of majesty without anger, which made everyone shrink their smiles and dare not speak out anymore.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Huaizhen continued: "You are all satisfied, but I am not satisfied..."
As soon as these words came out, several family heads were shocked, and some of them didn't quite understand what the eldest princess meant.
Could it be that Her Royal Highness the Princess wants to increase the price?
Gongsun Wuji asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, the eldest princess, has any difficulties that you need our help to share?"
"Your Highness, the eldest princess, it doesn't matter. As long as we can do it, we will do our best." The head of the Tang family promised.
The other family heads also echoed and expressed their support.
Huaizhen's expression softened a little: "All the family heads have solved their difficulties, but the difficulties of this palace have not been solved yet..."
"You will sell all the locusts you have hoarded to others."
"This move has certainly helped you get out of trouble, but it has also put Qingzhou into danger."
"Originally, there were interests. Everyone collected locusts and worked together to make profits bigger. They didn't care about the investment. But now the profits have disappeared. Those who hoarded locusts have nothing overnight. What do you think they will do?"
The faces of the several family heads changed slightly. They were all smart people and naturally understood what the eldest princess meant.
Is Her Royal Highness the eldest princess afraid that they will jump over the wall in a hurry?
Gongsun Wuji was the first to speak: "Your Highness, what are your orders? We all listen to you and follow your lead!!"
Following Gongsun's expression, the Xu family, Shangguan family, Tang family, and Liu family secretly cursed in their hearts that Gongsun showed his loyalty so quickly...
Soon, they also began to express their willingness to advance and retreat together with Her Royal Highness the Princess.
In fact, what choice do they have?
From the time they colluded with the Qingzhou government, from the time they joined Zhou Zhenwen's plan to plot against other aristocratic families, from the time they purchased white-glazed blue and white porcelain in an attempt to solve the inventory...
They are already on the opposite side of other aristocratic families, wealthy businessmen, and powerful people.
Now if they don't hug the eldest princess's arms tightly and follow the Qingzhou government closely, they will definitely be eaten by all parties...
Cutting off someone's money is like killing your parents! !
The profits they make are the lives of others! !
"Okay, the heads of the family understand the righteousness well."
"The imperial court will never forget your contribution..."
The eldest princess Huaizhen nodded, praised several family heads, and then said: "I will continue the topic just now. If they are forced to a dead end, they will definitely do something unwise!"
"In addition to the dried locusts that have been dried and baked, there are also some live locusts that have been packaged and isolated. If these locusts are released, they will also cause panic and unrest..."
"I don't want to see this scene. Therefore, I have decided to recycle the locusts on the market at the price of one penny per locust according to Zhou Shoufu's original plan. This matter requires your cooperation with the government."
"At the same time, you must also send people to prevent some people with ulterior motives from doing things that harm Qingzhou and the court. I have decided to formulate a temporary order. All living locusts must be registered and reported to the court for three days. After three days, there will be no Report it as soon as possible. Once discovered, he will be convicted of endangering Qingzhou. Those who refuse to cooperate will be jailed or exiled..."
Huaizhen's tone was calm, but his words revealed royal majesty that could not be denied.
This made several people's expressions change slightly, and they had a different understanding of this seemingly charming and frail princess.
The first thought that comes to everyone's mind is...
Cruel enough! !
This method is tantamount to driving these people to death!
If you don’t report it, you will be jailed, confiscated, and fined!
Report it to the police and collect every penny!
No matter which way they go, these people will pay to go with them...
"Your Highness, Princess, are you pushing too hard by doing this..." Gongsun Wuji asked tentatively, biting the bullet.
The eldest princess Huaizhen glanced at Gongsun Wuji: "Master Gongsun, do you think what you are doing is too harsh?"
"Or, until now, do you still have the idea of coexisting peacefully?"
"You want to know what you did?"
"You betrayed the Qingzhou clan. For your own benefit, you deliberately sealed off and disappeared, cooperated with the imperial court to sell goods, and threw all these worthless locusts to them..."
"What do you think they'll do to you if they catch their breath?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone's hearts were filled with fear.
If they knew that everything was happening behind their backs, the consequences would be unimaginable! !
"Do you understand?"
Huaizhen looked calm and looked at everyone with his eyes, like a bottomless lake: "Standing in line is a war without smoke!"
"You've already made your choice... don't think about it half-heartedly."
"If you don't show off, how can I help you?"
"Zhou Shoufu should have told you before he left that he did not have this ambition, and neither did I. Now that I am in Qingzhou, I can help you take a step further. If I leave later, you will have to fight against these people on your own. ....."
"As a human being, you need to think clearly about your choices?"
"If I were you, I would not leave them a way to survive this time. After all, others will not show mercy to you next time..."
Everyone swallowed, looked at each other, and made up their minds.
Cut off the roots and eliminate future troubles forever! !
A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist! !
These people must all be trampled to death! !
Can't give them any chance...
