Datang: I was tricked by the system

After a day's work, Li Yi snatched all the gold and silver mines from the Qinghe Cui family and the Li family, and arranged for his own people to start mining.

These news kept coming back, which not only made Li and Cui's people furious, even those aristocratic families who sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight were also trembling with fear.

On the one hand, they were shocked by Li Yi's speed and tough methods, and on the other hand, Li Yi's behavior had already stepped on their bottom line.

After this incident, not only did the Li family and the Qinghe Cui family reach a private cooperation, but even other aristocratic families were ready to condemn Li Yi.

"In this case, we will divide the troops into two groups as we discussed before." Li Yuanguang, the head of the Li family, said.

The elders of the Cui family also nodded, "Then I hope we can cooperate happily."

Li Yi dared to risk the displeasure of the world to oppose them, aristocratic families, so he had to be prepared to bear their anger.

It has been many years since no one has dared to confront them so blatantly. It seems that they have kept a low profile for too long, so that people have forgotten how powerful they are.

……

"Welcome Emperor Yi to return to the city."

Seeing Li Yi coming back, the soldiers guarding the city shouted respectfully.

Although Li Yi did not occupy Youzhou for a very long time, in the hearts of soldiers and common people, they admired and loved this Emperor Yi from the bottom of their hearts.

Let me ask, in today's world, who can be like Li Yi, who not only relieved disasters in Jinan Prefecture, but also rescued hundreds of thousands of refugees in the city, arranged work for them, took care of their food, and gave them houses to live in?
Just ask, who can kill the Turkic Khan and 10,000+ soldiers like Emperor Yi, with only tens of thousands of horses?

Once, they were like duckweed, but now, with Emperor Yi around, they live and work in peace and contentment.

With enough food for three meals a day, wages, and the ability to send children to school in the future, life seems to have something to look forward to all of a sudden.

So in Youzhou, no matter the people or the soldiers, they all respected Li Yi when they saw Li Yi.

When Li Yi returned to the mansion, Shan Linger brought Hou Xinran to the outside of Li Yi's room.

Knocked lightly on the door.

"Master, Miss Hou, please see me."

Miss Hou?
Waiting! ! !
Hearing this name, Li Yi was a little surprised, but since they all came, I just asked her what her purpose was.

"Come in." Li Yi asked Shan Ling'er to be a female official, responsible for managing the female relatives and coordinating the work of maids and maids.

These days, it's doing pretty well.

"Yi...Emperor Yi..." Seeing Li Yi, Hou Xinran seemed a little excited.

Seeing that her complexion has improved a lot, Li Yi nodded, "Miss Hou, you should know that the empress is now in a hostile position with Datang. I don't know why you came all the way from Datang to Youzhou."

"I..." Hou Xinran blushed, "I just want to see if you are safe and sound."

Li Yi: "..."

"Miss Hou has seen the Emperor now, so there is no need to worry about it anymore. The Emperor will arrange for someone to take you back to Chang'an tomorrow."

Li Yi didn't believe much of Hou Xinran's words, who made her father Hou Junji.

"I..." Hou Xinran wanted to refuse, but in the end she agreed silently. She ran away from home that day, and she didn't know how anxious her father was now.

After all, she is too willful.

The wish is fulfilled, it's time to go back.

It's just... why is her heart full of reluctance?
……

However, before Li Yi could send Hou Xinran away, Chen Jinbai hurriedly found Li Yi together with Tian Yi.

"Emperor Yi, something happened."

"What's the matter?"

Li Yi didn't know why, but what could happen in one night?
"Probably because you led people to rob the minerals of those aristocratic families and angered them. Today they cut off the supply of food, salt, and other items for the common people."

"But all the shops in the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Youtang are closed, especially in terms of salt. They are going to directly cut off the livelihood of the people."

"Go, have a look."

Without saying a word, Li Yi took Chen Jinbai and Tian Yi to the street.

When he came to the market, Li Yi saw people swarming and shouting at the door of the salt shop.

"Open the door, we need to buy salt."

"Why don't you sell it to us?"

"..."

The saltman opened a shutter and cried:
"What are you arguing about? There's no salt in the shop. Go buy it elsewhere."

After speaking, he closed the window panel with a bang.

Chen Jinbai and Tian Yi took Li Yi around the market, all the salt shops looked the same and didn't sell them.

"How much salt is there in the refined salt workshop I asked you to build?"

Chen Jinbai shook his head, "Although Yihuang has a way to refine refined salt, we don't have a fixed channel, and the major families deliberately made it difficult for us, so we couldn't get salt crystals at all, so...the workshop didn't work at all. "

Although salt and iron have been run by government officials since ancient times, most of the business roads and resources have been occupied by major families. Most of the salt roads in Youzhou are in the hands of the Cui family and the Li family.

The aristocratic family targeted everywhere, they would not get anything at all, if not for this, he would not be so anxious.

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Li Yi was furious, he underestimated the means of these aristocratic families.

"This...there are too many things going on recently, and the ministers are also powerless, so they didn't take care of it." Chen Jinbai only returned to Youzhou in the past two days, and he really didn't take care of the heavy affairs.

Li Yi nodded, after all, Chen Jinbai was not to blame for this matter.

If they took their mines by themselves, they would naturally retaliate.

There are no wolves in the world who don't hold grudges. They seem to be soft on the surface, but in fact they hold grudges deeply.

That being the case, let's hurt each other!
Since his previous actions could not deter them, he would use violence to stop violence and kill to stop killing.

If the aristocratic families target Li Yi alone, he doesn't care, just play with them, but these aristocratic families should never, never should, and should not ignore the lives of the people.

He has food, and there is no problem with the supply.

But the salt...

"Since they don't sell it, let's give it away for free." To them, Li Yi never thought of showing affection.

"Chen Jinbai, you led people to raid their shop, and distributed food and salt to the people."

"I obey the order." Chen Jinbai's eyes lit up. Indeed, they don't have to sit still in the face of the difficulties of the aristocratic family.

Soon Chen Jinbai led his men to raid several shops in a row, but the result was nothing but joy.

"Yihuang, they have removed everything, and now there is only an empty shop and the guys who are used to attract attention."

"Withdrawn?" Li Yi sneered, "Then go chase it back!"
