When Li Shimin saw Wang De, he broke into a cold sweat and completely forgot about the order he had just issued.
He said coldly: "Is what I said wrong?"
Wang De knelt on the ground with a thump and said repeatedly: "Old slave, I deserve to die. I will let someone draw up the decree."
"Well!"
Then Li Shimin sneered and said: "Tonight, I will hold a meeting overnight to announce a major event. From tomorrow on, there will no longer be five surnames and seven hopes in this world. The most noble surname in the world is my royal family, Li."
"Yes. I'll go make the announcement right now."
When Li Shimin said this, his domineering expression was revealed. He had never been so domineering in his life. Even after the Xuanwu Sect incident and ascending to the throne, he was still walking on thin ice.
Now, he can dare to say that I am the co-owner of this world.
Wang De crawled out from the Tai Chi Hall, his whole body soaked in cold sweat. He was really damned just now. His Majesty conferred the title of King of Shu as King of Qin. He hesitated, and your Majesty actually showed murderous intent. His eyes clearly meant that he wanted to kill with one knife. Got him.
My heart is towards the King of Shu, how can I hesitate?
This day is going to change, the situation of the government is going to change!
At this moment, the battle reports from the northwest were sent to Chang'an City one after another.
The first batch arrived, then the second batch arrived, then the third batch...
The top nobles and wealthy businessmen who were collecting grain suddenly couldn't sit still.
The Great Victory in the Northwest, what does the Great Victory in the Northwest mean?
This means that the grain that is constantly being transported to Chang'an City can only be consumed in Guanzhong. There is no need for grain in the northwest. Moreover, all the seizures from the northwest battlefield will be transported to Guanzhong. By then...
Dozens of top families, plus more than a dozen wealthy businessmen, ran frantically towards the Li family's mansion in Zhao County after learning about the great victory in the northwest.
Even for the Fan Yang Lu family, Lu Qing, the heir to the patriarch, appeared at the Li family's residence in Zhao County for the first time.
What happened was beyond everyone's expectation, it was so sudden.
Zhao Mansion.
Li Huaian, the head of the Li family in Zhao County, who had never appeared before, unexpectedly showed up. He was sitting at the front of the lobby of the Li Mansion. His eyes were full of gloom, and his hand on crutches was obviously trembling.
But he is still trying his best to keep calm. He needs to be calm at this moment. Only by stabilizing everyone, there may be a chance to sell the grain, but if the sand gathered by the Zhaojun Li family is scattered, then there will be no power. Damn it.
"Junior Lu Qing has met the second master of the Li family."
Li Huaian showed a smile, stood up and said, "Master Lu, please sit down."
The rest of the people were also surprised. They did not expect that important figures from the Li family in Zhao County and the Lu family in Fan Yang would come out. It seemed that this matter was very big, and it was already related to the life and death of this food war.
"Everyone, everyone came here today just to learn about the great victory in the northwest."
"But whether the northwest is a great victory or whether His Majesty is trying to reassure people, we still need precise information. Before we get accurate information, I would like to advise you not to have any wrong ideas, as the gains outweigh the losses."
Lu Qing also stood up and said: "My Lu family means the same thing. Since we are all on the same front, we have offended His Majesty."
"If you want to withdraw at this moment, unless your bones are broken into pieces, otherwise, hahaha... you just want to destroy the nine tribes."
"Our aristocratic families are natural enemies to His Majesty and the imperial court. If we want to grow bigger, the imperial court will inevitably weaken us. But as long as we win this time, we will have the initiative, and the imperial court will give us benefits. For us..."
"So, you can only succeed, not fail."
"I agree with the words of the young master of the Lu family. Since we have reached this point, we must go all the way to the dark side."
"I agree too."
"I agree on behalf of Cui."
"On behalf of Yang, I agree." biquge.biz
"On behalf of the Yuwen clan, I agree..."
Li Huaian, the Li family of Zhao County, stood up and said: "Then we have made a decision. We will continue to collect grain tomorrow. If the great victory in the northwest is a lie, it will be destroyed within three days."
"In my opinion, let's allocate the food for arrival in Chang'an City tomorrow!"
"This makes sense. I, the Zhaojun Li family, will take the lead. I, the Zhaojun Li family, will take 50%. This is also to dispel your worries."
"I, the Lu family, want 40%, and I will give you the remaining 10%!"
"Tomorrow, I want to see what other tricks Chao Zhong can use."
"Hahaha……"
The more than thirty people present represented one-fifth of Datang's financial resources. They said so, and they also had capital, otherwise Li Shimin would not be afraid of these wealthy families.
Talent is one thing, but the main thing is financial resources. These people control the economic lifeline of Datang.
Just like this food war, if Li Shimin was not fully prepared, the result would be different. If Li Shimin took action, he would only fall into war and recreate the scene at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
It's just that the wealthy families are doing it for their own interests after all. Although they say so, they are more afraid than anyone else in their hearts.
When they returned home, they immediately convened a think tank to find a solution.
They cannot hold all the food in their hands, they must sell part of it at high prices. Once the news of the great victory in the northwest is true, they may go bankrupt in an instant.
They can't hold on to this food and eat it for the rest of their lives, right?
After Li Shuwan entered the city, she went directly to Li Jing's house.
"Mom, the news of the great victory in the northwest has reached the palace..." Li Shuwan said excitedly as she entered the door.
Hongfu Nu is meditating. He has been restless these days. It's just that her husband went to war. The good son-in-law also took away her two sons. The battlefield is changing rapidly and the sword has no eyes. What if he is injured?
At this moment, when she heard her daughter say that there was a great victory in the northwest, Hongfu Nu stood up instantly: "Really, when did the news of victory come, why didn't mother know about it?"
"Just now, my daughter was giving porridge outside the city. She saw the cavalry delivering the message, shouting about the great victory in the northwest, killing 100,000 enemies, and capturing Fuyun Khan alive."
"Okay, my husband has done something good again."
"Mom, my daughter asked about it. It was the prince who captured Fu Yun alive, not my father."
Red Fu Girl: "..."
"Your father is the general manager of Longyou Marching Army. Those captured alive by the King of Shu are your father!"
Li Shuwan smiled and said: "But the prince is the one who coordinates the Longyou army formation, and he is also the military governor."
Hongfu Nu said angrily: "Okay, okay, we are all one family. If your father doesn't care about the credit, your daughter's livelihood is in vain."
"mother……"
"Mom, my daughter takes the first step. She still has important things to do!"
After Li Shuwan said that, she ran out of Li Jing's mansion, got on the carriage and went straight to heaven and earth.
She still has to hold a meeting to prepare for the final vote tonight and then call it a day!
The families of other honorable nobles also learned about the great victory in the northwest immediately, and immediately sold the food they had hoarded to others privately, and the price even dropped to one hundred cash.
But what is surprising is that no one cares about a hundred articles.
