Datang: I am the prince of salted fish, I impeach Li Er at the beginning

Chapter 175 The Monopoly Situation Has Been Broken
From a social point of view, the conflict between private interests and public interests is an eternal topic.

When a decree issued by the imperial court harms one's own interests.

So how will officials deal with this matter?

In the vast majority of cases, if you can deceive your superiors and your inferiors, you will deceive your superiors and inferiors.

If it can't be done, we must try our best to prevent the decree from taking effect.

Don't expect officials to have the awareness that the world is for the public, it doesn't exist.

Not to mention officials, even ordinary people would choose to fight the court to the end if they had a choice.

Because this is human nature!
It is also a problem that any person in power has to face.

If you want to promote your ideas, you must get rid of this layer of obstacles.

But Li Zhi's choice is to overwhelm others.

Build momentum first, and then let those with vested interests realize how serious the consequences of confronting it will be.

Let them have to bow their heads and follow their own rhythm.

This is Yangmou, no matter how unwilling the people below are, they have to give in.

Because the enemy he faced was never King Jin alone.

It is a larger interest class that can benefit from this decree.

It's as if Li Zhi couldn't break the situation of class solidification by himself.

These vested interests have no way to prevent all this from happening with their weak abilities.

Zuo Wenhao looked at Li Zhi's leaving back, his eyes flickered non-stop.

After Li Zhi left completely, he sighed heavily.

"The monopoly is broken."

Shi Lei on the side didn't understand what was going on and asked in confusion: "What are you talking about? Why can't I understand what you are saying??"

It was the same with His Royal Highness Prince Jin, who suddenly said something that he didn't understand, which made him feel confused.

Now Zuo Wenhao said "the monopoly has been broken"?
What kind of monopoly, and how was it broken? Why can't he understand a word?

Zuo Wenhao took a deep look at him, shook his head helplessly, turned and left without saying anything.

Seeing him like this, Shi Lei was even more puzzled, completely unable to understand what disease this guy was suffering from.

After thinking for a while, he still didn't understand what was involved. Then he returned to his yamen muttering.

"Forget it, let's hurry up and make what His Highness wants, so as not to delay His Highness's affairs..."

……

"Transfer the contradiction."

“Everything can deflect conflicts.”

"This set is still easy to use, just turn it over."

Transfer the contradiction between craftsmen and the court to the contradiction between official craftsmen and folk craftsmen.

Plus the wave of innovation has risen.

In addition, he, the powerful prince, was watching from the middle.

It has become a necessity to promote this wave to the outside world.

After all, no one dares to stand in the way of the trend, right?

We must know that the vested interests who started this trend are not only folk craftsmen, but also the imperial court.

With just a group of craftsmen, who dares to stop Li Zhi's great event?
Nobody has the courage to go up against the bottom and the top of society at the same time.

Interests are always the underlying motivation for actions.

But when the risk of doing something far outweighs the benefit, no one will dare to take risks easily.

Li Zhi left the prison with a smile and walked on the way home.

After returning to the mansion, the first thing Li Zhi did was to ask Huang Fu for questioning.

"During the period when the king was away, who visited the palace?"

Huang Fu's answer was: "The guys from Mozhai came here with a ream of bamboo, saying that your Highness sent them to bring it, and asked the servant for two hundred cash."

As he spoke, Huang Fu scratched his head in doubt.

"Speaking of which, a ream of paper is only two hundred cash, which is too cheap. Could it be that the price of paper has dropped during this time?"

Hearing what he said, Li Zhi couldn't help being happy.

"It has fallen, it has fallen a lot, but it has not reached the point of one ream or two hundred cash."

"Oh~" Huang Fu suddenly realized, and blurted out: "You used your status to suppress people, and bought the paper at the cost price."

"Hey! Is this king that kind of person?" Li Zhi was amused, and raised his hand to hit him.

But seeing Huang Fu dodge, he has no interest in chasing him.

"It's the ingenuity of the shopkeeper. He heard the identity of the king and told the cost price. He didn't dare to ask for the real price."

As he said that, Li Zhi waved to Huang Fu who had fled a few steps away: "You send someone to deliver a hundred coins to the shopkeeper, and we won't take advantage of him."

It is already very kind when people are willing to provide information honestly.

It is a bit too much to use the purchase price to buy things in the store.

If others are willing to flatter, Li Zhi doesn't care, and he doesn't care.

But he has his own set of standards for doing things, and he doesn't take advantage of honest people.

When Huang Fu heard the order, he immediately started to do it.

Li Zhi, on the other hand, was standing at the gate of Yongxingfang, looking in the direction of Jingfengmen.

"What the hell, you've done enough tricks to be a spy, don't you even come to claim the bounty, isn't it a bit too contemptuous?"

Earlier, he asked the guard who drove him to come to the Jin Palace to receive the reward, but he didn't even come here, which made Li Zhi feel a little annoyed.

Although he had already seen that something was wrong with the guard, he still felt that he did not get the respect he deserved.

Even if it's just a matter of applying medicine, how about coming here afterwards to receive a reward?
As a result, no one came, and told him clearly that he was the spy planted by Li Shimin.

When the spies are upright to this point, there is no one else.

"The next time I see you, I will take off all your underwear, so that you can't get off the stage!"

"Ma Dan, it's really disrespectful."

Shaking his head and not taking it seriously, Li Zhi turned around and returned to his courtyard.

……

A few days passed, and it was the day of the imperial examination in a blink of an eye.

After breakfast, Li Zhi followed Di Renjie to the imperial city.

Seeing this scene, Di Renjie couldn't help but feel strange.

He deliberately slowed down his pace, paralleled Li Zhi, and raised the doubts in his heart.

"Your Highness, where are you going?"

Li Zhi smiled, and said casually: "It's not obvious, this king is going to the imperial city."

"But you don't get up so early on weekdays, let alone go to the imperial city?"

Di Renjie murmured in his heart.

He had never seen Li Zhi go to work, let alone go to work on time.

Today is the sun coming out from the west, planning to experience the sufferings of the world?

When Di Renjie was muttering, Li Zhi told the truth.

"Don't guess, this king entered the palace with you."

"If you have nothing to do, go and see the imperial examination site and see how you take the exam."

"By the way, let's see if we can recruit some talents to fill the talent pool of Prince Jin's Mansion."

"Lest we see you two familiar faces every day, there will be no joy in life at all."
