these three days.
Li Ke has been living in the palace, serving Li Shimin and his mother and concubine.
As a prince, he pays great attention to his reputation.
If you are really tired of staying outside the palace with Chen Shuo all day, then why do you come back?
When the time comes, he will be impeached by his ministers, and even more disgusted by Li Shimin.
It was not until three days later that he had time to leave the palace.
"What have you been doing these past few days..."
Li Ke hesitated to speak.
Chen Shuozhen said he wanted to deal with Wei Shuyu, but he didn't see any action from Wei Shuyu in the past three days.
"Your Highness, there are many people talking here."
Chen Shuozhen gave it a try, then pointed at Cuiyun Ju and said, "Zhen'er thinks this restaurant is good. How about having a few drinks with us, Your Highness?"
"good."
Li Ke nodded, and then the two of them entered Cuiyun Residence.
After the food and wine were served, Li Ke ordered everyone not to enter the private room.
"Your Highness, have a drink first..."
Chen Shuozhen poured a glass of wine for Li Ke, and then slowly said...
“The pro-business policy has many loopholes.”
"In the past, people were afraid of the imperial court and the Wei family, and they might not dare to say anything."
"But it only takes one opening to drive Wei Shuyu out of the doctor's position."
"His Highness will then step forward to turn the tide."
"The Ministry of Commerce is in your pocket..."
Li Ke didn't bother him, but drank the wine in one gulp.
meaning is……
Keep pouring the wine and keep talking!
Chen Shuozhen saw this and gave Li Keman another drink.
"The first hurdle that brought Wei Shuyu down was... the merchants!"
Hu County.
Wei Shuyu sat in the county government office bored.
The younger son was born.
The eldest son is not important!
The day after his son was born, Wei Shuyu was rushed to Hu County by Lao Wei to take office.
at this time.
Wei Shuyu was admiring Magistrate Wang's conclusion of the case.
Don't look at Wang Gui's flattery in front of Li Shimin.
But when handling the case, he was full of authority and overbearing!
"Come here, put this flower-picking thief in prison and send him to the border soon."
With a slap on the scaffold, Wang Gui pronounced the verdict domineeringly.
When the people watching at the door saw it, they clapped their hands and applauded.
"Master Qingtian."
"Magistrate Wang is really a rare and good official."
"Not only that, Magistrate Wang is honest and upright, and he is also a very upright official."
Wang Gui's face was stern, and he was not lost in the flattery of the people.
Your Majesty, wait for me!
I will definitely live up to your expectations...
Strive to set foot on the fifth level as soon as possible and work with you!
"Quit."
Gavel shot.
When Wang Gui was about to leave gracefully, there was a commotion at the yamen gate.
I saw a group of merchants running in together.
"Dare you make a noise in the Yamen?"
Wang Gui's brows raised: "Someone, drag them down with forty sticks!"
"Your Majesty Wang, forgive me."
One of the leading merchants suddenly stood up: "We are not here to report the crime, but to see Mr. Wei."
As soon as these words came out, County Magistrate Wang instantly withered.
The majesty that was finally established suddenly felt like a stretch in the crotch.
snort.
With a flick of his sleeves, Wang Gui left quickly.
After he was out of everyone's sight, he secretly lay aside and listened in the corner.
"What's the matter?"
Wei Shuyu stood up and asked.
"Mr. Wei, something serious has happened."
The leader of the merchants said anxiously: "Some merchants have rebelled..."
Um?
A trace of cruelty flashed in Wei Shuyu's eyes.
"Tell me..."
As the other party told, Wei Shuyu gradually understood what happened.
The pro-business policy seems to be for the benefit of merchants.
But every policy change will inevitably affect the interests of some people!
So do merchants!
at first……
The big businessmen didn't pay attention.
First, Hu County is just a small county town that was destroyed by the earthquake.
Second, Wei Shuyu is just a little kid.
Those real super businessmen didn't take this matter to heart at all.
But with the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce!
After a large number of officials entered Hu County...
They knew that the court was serious!
A businessman's business involves nothing more than routes, goods, relationships, connections, etc.
This is a resource that they have accumulated over generations.
But with the establishment of the Ministry of Commerce, these resources gradually became shared.
Then their interests will naturally be affected.
And as the number of merchants increases, big merchants will no longer be able to maintain a monopoly... and may even start to cut prices and engage in price wars!
Therefore, today's merchants are also divided into two camps.
1. Merchants who support the mercantile policy.
Second, super businessmen who oppose mercantile business.
"Where are they now?"
Wei Shuyu lowered his voice and couldn't help but ask.
"They guarded the gate of Huxian City, preventing merchants from entering or exiting."
The merchant wiped his sweat.
"Walk!"
Wei Shuyu took the lead and set off.
Wang Gui took a look...
The opportunity to plead for the people has come again, you have to keep up!
But this matter has something to do with Xiao Wei...
Well, forget it.
My heart can't stand working with Xiao Wei.
Wang Gui put his hands behind his back and Shi Shiran left.
But after walking a few steps, a county lieutenant caught up with him...
"Magistrate Wang, Mr. Wei wants you to go to the city gate together."
"..."
Fuck you.
Can you still think of me at this time?
Should I be happy or happy? Or should I be happy?
The city gate.
Wei Shuyu came over with a cold face.
As far as I could see, many vendors had gathered together to cause trouble.
Some merchants even started to fight.
time is money.
Getting from one place to another is strictly calculated.
If you can't make it before dark, you may spend the night in the wild.
There were no street lights or concrete roads at this time.
If you are driving in the dark, if your goods fall into ditches or rivers, you will lose a lot of money.
"Get out of the way, Mr. Wei is coming!"
With the arrival of Wei Shuyu, everyone involuntarily gave way to a path.
outside the city.
Many luxurious carriages are lined up side by side.
Several merchants stood on the carriage and looked at this scene with a mocking look on their faces.
"Yo? Are you finally willing to give up?"
A middle-aged man in luxurious clothes fiddled with his thumb.
"you do not say……"
An old man's face was red and he was spinning walnuts in his hand: "Isn't it a joke to let such a little brat look at us?"
"I feel like I can kill him with one punch!"
A big man carrying a machete took an apple and took a bite.
These people are big businessmen from the state capital near Chang'an.
Without exception, they all have a resounding name in their own territory...
The richest man!
At this moment, a lazy woman suddenly said...
"Who among you are going to meet him?"
Suddenly, there was silence!
Everyone who was originally full of confidence suddenly withered.
You can doubt the talent, force, and wealth of the Wei family...
But you can never question their spraying skills!
Damn...
Under the pressure of civil and military officials, the mercantilist policy can be forcibly passed.
Is that mouth something ordinary people can hold?
"Giggle..."
The lazy woman couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh: "Everyone brags so much, do you really get scared when something happens?"
"proceed if you can!"
The big man carrying the sword couldn't help but said excitedly.
"The slave family can't do it. If you want to fight and fight like this, you men have to come forward." The woman's eyes were as charming as silk.
"Slut!"
The big man spat out the apple peel and cursed disdainfully.
"Swear again!"
The lazy woman's face turned cold, and she looked at him coldly.
"What? You still want to hit me?"
The big man laughed wildly: "Except for defeating me in bed, don't dream about anything else... Haha!"
"Stop arguing!"
Just then, another young man in his twenties came out.
Zhang Shuyin.
Chen Shuozhen is a relative.
"According to the order of the young lady, who can ruin Wei Shuyu's reputation?"
"From now on, you can choose any business in Hu County!"
As soon as these words came out, several people immediately fell silent.
They are opposed to the mercantile policy!
But if you can get a good reputation without affecting your ability to make money, who wouldn't love it?
"okay."
The big man marched out carrying a sword...
"You are all so timid. I really don't know how you make money!"
"I'll clear the way for you first!"
