I'm playing tricks in Daqin

But now, Li Wei is the emperor. If Li Wei wants to reform and strengthen the country and enrich the people, he must damage the interests of the bureaucratic group. As the leader of the bureaucratic group, Tian Ce and others are naturally on the opposite side of Li Wei.

"Your Majesty, the old minister must never dare, Your Majesty..."

"Okay, you don't need to talk about it. I understand that the ass determines the head. Everyone has three relatives and six friends, and everyone has old students and old officials. Some things, even if you don't want to fight, you can't fight for the people behind you." Don't fight."

These days, the Black Clothes Guards have often sent private complaints from the ministers of the dragon. In their opinion, Li Wei, the king, is too selfish.

Follow the Li family by yourself, what are you planning?Isn't it for conferring a wife and a son, a prince for thousands of generations?Li Wei is now the emperor, rich and glorious, but now he wants to chop the flesh of their supporters to feed the people, is Li Wei worthy of everyone?

The reason why there is so much resistance to the implementation of reforms this time is because Li Wei's slashing was too hard, and even the ministers of Conglong were dissatisfied. Tian Ce and others are not bad. Trying to mediate in the middle, some people have come together with the opposition and are going to compete with the king they once supported.

"I have said more than once that fighting the world is for the people of the world, but now the world has not yet been unified, and some people have turned bad. Tian Ce, I don't need your help, I don't need anyone's help, I want all of you to understand , What is the co-lord of the world, what is the ninth-five-year-old lord! Go down, go home and take a good look at how I wiped out these jumping clowns."

"Your Majesty, don't act too hastily, or the country will be in turmoil..."

Tian Ce still wanted to persuade, but Li Wei didn't want to listen, and walked out directly.

As soon as the distraught Tian Ce was about to walk out of the palace gate, he saw Li Wei leaving the palace with more than 300 cavalry.

"With so many people, hey, the affairs of the world are unknowable."

The information of all the major merchants in Chang'an City has long been archived in the Black Clothes Guard, and Li Wei ordered that all the prominent merchants in the city have received invitations from the emperor.

The emperor treats guests, who dare not go?

Many big businessmen even wrote their suicide notes before going out, and settled down their homes, but there were also some big businessmen who relied on their deep backgrounds to claim illness directly and refused to go to Li Wei's Hongmen banquet.

This time, Li Wei did not choose any teahouse or wine shop for the treat, but the big merchants handed it over to the Jingzhong school grounds. Seeing that there were no tables, chairs and benches here, the merchants sat down one after another under the guidance of the waiters, bowing their heads and discussing.

"Miss Lin, what does the emperor mean by asking us to come?"

As soon as the businessman asked Lin Qianru, completely ignoring himself, Zhuang Yunxiao said angrily: "What are you afraid of? The emperor dares to kill us when the soldiers come to cover us with water and earth?"

"Master Zhuang, if you don't want to do anything, why did you bring us to this place?"

"Hmph, even the emperor can't do whatever he wants. If he dares to do something today, the world will be in chaos tomorrow. Don't worry, he won't dare to do anything with me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuang Yunxiao felt someone kicked him, and immediately said angrily to Lin Qianru: "What are you kicking me for? You are afraid of Li Wei, but I am not!"

Seeing that Zhuang Yunxiao wanted to die with all his heart, Lin Qianru rolled her eyes and simply ignored him.

Now that there was an unprecedented general strike in Chang'an City, Li Wei didn't put on airs, and as soon as everyone arrived, he walked out under the guidance of Xiaoliuzi. Seeing the emperor in dragon robes approaching, the merchants knelt down and saluted one after another.

"It's all free, everyone don't need to worry. I heard that the merchants and workers in Chang'an went on strike. I was confused, so I asked you to come here. Today I only talk about business, not about state affairs. Don't take my identity too seriously. Everyone can speak freely."

The words are polite, but none of the businessmen with the lowest social status dare to be rude to the emperor. Many people looked at Zhuang Yunxiao. Whoever let Zhuang Yunxiao boast just now, he will naturally take care of things.

Being suppressed by Lin Qianru, Zhuang Yunxiao couldn't hold his head up. Naturally, Zhuang Yunxiao would not let go of this good opportunity to become famous, and stood up directly.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the strike is also a helpless move. The funds are not working well, and the business cannot continue, so we can only close the business."

The reason for the strike this time is naturally that the abolition of the two reforms and the reform of grain collection have damaged the interests of the bureaucratic group, and the officials who couldn't bear it to Li Wei secretly instigated this excuse. Everyone knows this excuse, but they can't say it out of their mouths.

The merchants simply used the lack of working capital as an excuse. The businessmen in Chang'an City suddenly had a problem with their capital turnover. No one would believe it. Such a perfunctory excuse is undoubtedly a provocation to Li Wei.

"Other merchants have no money, I believe it, but you and Shengchang are in the bank business, and you are the largest bank, so you will have no money?"

"I am ashamed to say that the villain is too kind. A few days ago, he took out a large amount of silver to buy the national debt for river governance. The villain is also fond of gambling. He was tricked by the traitor and lost a lot of money. Now Heshengchang's capital turnover is not good. It is no longer possible to borrow money, and there is no money exchange business, so it can only be temporarily closed."

What Li Wei did before has been spread all over the business district in the capital. No one expected that Zhuang Yunxiao dared to say it in public. Ding Xi's eyes were full of murderous intent. As long as Li Wei gave a signal, he would rush over and kill Mu Wujun Father's Zhuang Yunxiao.

"Heshengchang has no money, and Daqin Royal Bank can lend you money."

"What is needed is not a small amount."

"It doesn't matter, I also like to gamble. A few days ago, there was a fool who cried and asked to bet with me. I won some money, and I can still lend it to you."

Zhuang Yunxiao naturally knew who that "fool" was, and his expression turned cold immediately.

"Heshengchang needs a lot of funds, and I'm afraid the emperor won't be able to provide them."

"Joke, I am the Son of Heaven, and I have plenty of money, how much do you want, tell me the amount, and I will lend it to you."

Li Wei said indifferently.

"Then I would like to thank Your Majesty Long En. He Shengchang needs 800 million taels of silver. I wonder if Your Majesty can borrow it?"

"So much? Less, okay?"

Seeing Li Wei's troubled face, Zhuang Yunxiao was overjoyed, I told you to pretend, now you can't pretend anymore, can you? "No, Your Majesty, Heshengchang only seems to be prosperous. The funds have long been unable to make ends meet, and after two accidents, it is now on the verge of bankruptcy. There is no 800 million taels of silver, it is definitely not enough..."

Chapter 598 The cowhide is blown to pieces

Before Zhuang Yunxiao could finish speaking, Lin Qianru stood up suddenly and said, "Your Majesty, Zhuang Yunxiao was just joking with you. Heshengchang's silver reserves are sufficient, and there is absolutely no shortage of silver!"

"Bastard, you stinky woman, dare to tear down my platform? He Shengchang is not your turn to decide!"

Zhuang Yunxiao said angrily.

"I am now the young master of Heshengchang!"

Lin Qianru said.

It was good that Lin Qianru didn't mention it, but when she mentioned this, Zhuang Yunxiao's heart welled up with anger, and he slapped her directly.

When Lin Qianru was beaten, Li Wei naturally couldn't just sit idly by and said coldly: "Zhuang Yunxiao, beat someone in public, do you still have my eyes on me?"

"Your Majesty, Lin Qianru is my father's adopted daughter and my younger sister. This is my own business, please do not interfere with me, Your Majesty!"

After finishing speaking, Zhuang Yunxiao gave Lin Qianru a fierce look.

"Lin Qianru, how are you doing?"

Li Wei asked Lin Qianru.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, I'm fine."

Lin Qianru said.

"Then He Shengchang, is there any shortage of money?"

Li Wei asked.

"lack!"

"No shortage!"

Zhuang Yunxiao and Lin Qianru answered almost at the same time, and then the businessmen started talking about it.

"Brother, at any time, we, Heshengchang, will never be short of money."

Lin Qianru persuaded in a low voice.

"Shut up! Li Weifei wants you to be the young master, and I can see that you have colluded. I beat you, and the dog emperor feels sorry for you. Are you adulterers and prostitutes trying to plot my farmer's property? Shengchang!"

Zhuang Yunxiao questioned.

"I do not have!"

Lin Qianru said quickly.

"Shut up if you don't, my farmer doesn't have women to talk about, let alone you are just my father's adopted daughter, no matter how much you dare to troublesome, the family law will take care of you!"

Zhuang Yunxiao said in a very stern tone.

"You will destroy Heshengchang!"

Lin Qianru said.

"Even if Heshengchang is destroyed by me, it is better than being invaded by you in collusion with outsiders. You have no place to speak here. If you don't shut up, I will hold you accountable and embezzle your property!"

Zhuang Yunxiao said.

Sitting on the side guarding, Ou Weijian was dissatisfied: "Young master, you have to speak with your conscience. Missy has worked hard all these years and has never made false accounts..."

"Uncle Qu, needless to say, he is the real young master. Whatever he says, he will naturally be. Zhuang Yunxiao, if you don't wake up, He Shengchang will be ruined. As far as this is concerned, you should do it yourself."

With a cold snort, Zhuang Yunxiao ignored her, and said, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, with a golden eloquence, since he is willing to help me achieve prosperity, compared to 800 million taels of silver, it is nothing to Your Majesty, right?" .”

As the son of a financial tycoon in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Zhuang Yunxiao naturally knew that the current annual savings of the imperial court was less than 30 taels. Li Wei would definitely not be able to spend this huge sum of money that could only be saved in 40 years.

Sure enough, upon hearing Zhuang Yunxiao's words, Li Wei's face immediately turned ugly.

"You are prosperous, do you need this kind of money?"

"There is no way. The plate is too big, and the silver needed will naturally be more. If there is no injection of 800 million taels of silver, it will not be able to survive. Please forgive me and borrow the silver."

A big businessman next to him took the opportunity to say: "Young master Zhuang, you are too hard on yourself. The court can't even get such a large amount of money."

Zhuang Yunxiao feigned anger and said: "Nonsense, a mere 800 million taels of silver is a huge sum of money to us, but to His Majesty who is rich in the world, what is it? Besides, Your Majesty has promised to borrow money with Tianxian in his mouth, and you are here to dissuade him , Where do you put His Majesty's face? Don't worry, Your Majesty, although I, He Shengchang, have poor capital turnover, there are industries and semicolons everywhere, and the grassroots are willing to use these as collateral to borrow from the imperial court."

Faced with Zhuang Yunxiao's angry reprimand, the big businessman "awakened like a dream"

, Immediately kowtow to Li Wei to plead guilty.

At this time, all the businessmen in the school field looked at Li Wei nervously. Their double springs were too clumsy, and everyone could see that Zhuang Yunxiao deliberately slapped Li Wei in the face.

Who is Li Wei?Today's emperor, rubbing the emperor on the ground in public, what if this stupid emperor gets angry and kills them all?Sensing the murderous aura emanating from the sergeant on the school ground, Ou Weijian whispered: "Miss, if there is a fight, you don't care about anything, just run outside, and I will protect you and rush out with all my might."

"Don't worry, Li Wei's actions are ridiculous, but he's not stupid, he won't do anything."

Sure enough, Li Wei's ugly face gradually warmed up, and he squeezed out a rather forced smile.

"Hehe, 800 million is too big, and the court will not be able to get it out for a while. It seems that He Shengchang can only figure out a way by himself."

As soon as the words fell, the merchants immediately started discussing that Li Wei's bullshit was too loud just now, and now he knows what it means to slap his face.

The businessman with the lowest social status can actually slap the emperor in the face. At this time, Zhuang Yunxiao has become a hero in the hearts of many businessmen.

Zhuang Yunxiao enjoyed this kind of worship very much, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, the grassroots can only find another way, but in the capital, many merchants are waiting for my loan from He Shengchang to survive. He Shengchang has no money. They can only temporarily close their businesses."

Some people are willing to act as a shield, and the businessmen naturally echoed, saying that they have difficulty in capital turnover and cannot continue to operate.

"Lack of money? Well, I can lend it to you."

As soon as the words fell, many businessmen couldn't help laughing out loud. It really is a fool, who just got slapped in the face, and now dare to stand up and borrow money?

Zhuang Yunxiao took the lead, and several big businessmen who also had backers stood up one after another to borrow money from Li Wei.

They already understood that the Ministry of Household Affairs would never give out money to support Li Wei's nonsense. Even if Li Wei had national debts for river governance, he had to use the money for special purposes. Now the emperor can take out, that is, the profit from silver dollar exchange, which does not exceed 100. Ten thousand taels of silver.

They have shops and mansions in the capital, and some even bought a lot of land in the outskirts of the city. The total value of these properties is five or six million taels of silver.

Zhuang Yunxiao suppressed a smile and asked: "Your Majesty, can you lend them money?"

"Nonsense! The business is doing well, how come it suddenly owes such a big deficit and needs so much money to continue the business?"

The angrier Li Wei was, the happier Zhuang Yunxiao became, and he said with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't know something. This business is a business that is both prosperous and bad. People's business cannot continue, and the reforms implemented by the imperial court have greatly damaged the interests of the bank.

The bank can't support it, and naturally many businessmen can't support it. This has led to today's predicament. In fact, it is very simple to want the economy to recover and the market to prosper. "

"In other words, if I continue to implement the reform of the currency system, Chang'an will always go on strike?"

Facing Li Wei's threat, Zhuang Yunxiao, who thought he was sure of winning, said proudly: "Without money in the bank, the merchants will have no working capital, and if the merchants do not open, the workers will naturally have no work."

Li Wei swept his eyes over the merchants and asked, "Is that what you mean too?"

Everyone had already received orders from their respective patrons, so they naturally stood on Zhuang Yunxiao's side at this time, and began to complain continuously. There was only one central idea. If the imperial court did not stop the reform of the currency system, strikes and market strikes would continue.

"You really don't have any money?"

"Nothing."

Zhuang Yunxiao spoke first, and other businessmen also echoed.

"I'll give you one last chance. Now the unified business will continue. I will not blame the past for what happened before."

Zhuang Yunxiao directly rebuffed, "Your Majesty, it's not that the grass people don't want to open the business, but that they can't open it."

"Okay, I get it, don't regret it, get out."

The emperor issued an order to expel the guests, and the merchants who didn't want to stay here saluted Li Wei and fled away one after another.

When you come, you look sad, and when you go, you are triumphant.

"Haha, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and us merchants have been the lowest class since ancient times. Who would have thought that today we merchants will make the current emperor suffer?"

"That's right, we also slapped the emperor in the face, twice, twice!"

"It's thanks to Master Zhuang's wiseness. With you here, we have the backbone. Even if we face the emperor, we will not be afraid."

"Yes, yes, it's true that a tiger father has no dogs. The secular emperor has to submit to the gold and silver prince, haha."

Hearing everyone's compliments, Zhuang Yunxiao was in a good mood, feeling that he had already stood on the highest peak in the world, and could look down on all living beings. Even a real dragon, in front of me, he had to obediently curl up.

"Chen Yuzhou!"
