I am Li Shen and Li Shimin, the free kings of the Tang Dynasty

Wang Weitu knew that the Wang family could not hide from this matter, but he still had to go back and ask for instructions on this matter.

He couldn't be the master of this, so he could only say helplessly:

"Everyone, Mr. Wang needs to go back and ask for instructions from the clan. I hope everyone can understand. Mr. Wang speaks softly and cannot make the decision."

"Okay, then we will wait for Brother Wang's reply. We will report this matter to the clan truthfully. We hope that something similar will not happen."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Everyone, please put this matter aside for now. We still have a troublesome issue. Just now, King Ji said that he would not cooperate with me as a member of the Chamber of Commerce.

This matter is not trivial. Our members are far less numerous than those of the First Chamber of Commerce. If the members of the First Chamber of Commerce do not cooperate with our members,

Our members will become fewer and fewer because of this, and they may even choose to quit membership. "

The Yuan clan elder reminded that this matter made everyone worried.

"Damn it, this King Ji is too domineering. Doesn't this affect normal business?

He keeps saying that he wants to provide merchants with a good business environment, but now he actually does something that violates the rules. "The Cui family elder slammed the table.

Li Shen's move made them very passive. Their members accounted for at most 15% of the merchants of the Tang Dynasty, and the First Chamber of Commerce of the Tang Dynasty accounted for 80%.

With such a huge membership base, how could they be opponents? Originally, they wanted to steal the members of the First Chamber of Commerce step by step.

But they didn't expect that King Ji would use conspiracy and tricks, making them very passive now.

"Alas~~~ We have no good solution for this matter. We can only ask our officials to impeach him.

However, what King Ji said just now did not mean to issue an order, but only meant to appeal, so even if he was sued in court, he could still say that he was giving advice. "Wang Weitu shook his head, unable to think of any solution.

"But King Ji says what he says in the Chamber of Commerce, and the members there obey King Ji's words. His influence among merchants is unparalleled.

What is the difference between his appeal and an order? Moreover, he also publicly said that my bid to win the Chamber of Commerce was fraudulent, which was a clear attempt to discredit us. "Xiao family elder said, he also felt quite painful.

"Sigh, it's just possible that we don't have that many members. It seems we can only wait and see what happens."

Everyone fell into deep thought and was at a loss to do anything.

Just as they thought, the news about Li Shen spread throughout Chang'an City that afternoon, and the headquarters of the First Chamber of Commerce of the Tang Dynasty immediately dispatched personnel to the various state and county branches.

They must convey Li Shen's order in the shortest possible time.

The No. 1 Chamber of Commerce in Chang'an immediately stopped providing guarantee services for transactions with members of the Qingding Chamber of Commerce.

They also posted a notice saying that because the Qingding Chamber of Commerce had committed fraud and the risks were too great, the Chamber of Commerce would no longer guarantee it.

He also called on everyone not to do business with their members in the future.

In an instant, both the Qending Chamber of Commerce and its members suffered huge losses. The Qending Chamber of Commerce suffered a reputational loss, while the members suffered economic losses.

The First Chamber of Commerce has many members, and they are enough to meet the complete chain from production to sales, so it is basically not affected.

"My lord, your tricks are really too good. It won't take long for them to close down the Chamber of Commerce."

In Prince Ji's Mansion, Wang Hongfu bowed his body and said to Li Shen with a mean smile on his face.

"Haha, keep a low profile and keep a low profile. This is just a small trick on my part. A mere chamber of commerce that wants to win the title is not worth mentioning."

Li Shen grinned with a proud look on his face.

"My lord, are you planning to file a complaint later?" Wang Xuance asked at the side.

"I will go to court tomorrow morning. Have you finished preparing everything I asked you to prepare?" Li Shen nodded and cut through the mess quickly without giving them a chance to breathe.

"Back to the prince, everything is ready. Witnesses and letters are all ready, but the family will definitely insist that these are all forgeries by us.

We have no hard evidence either. Wang Xuance replied that these things were indeed perjury and were ordered by King Ji.

"We don't need ironclad evidence, as long as perjury is enough, it doesn't matter whether other people want it or not, as long as His Majesty is willing to believe it.

It doesn't really matter whether there is evidence or not. Just watch, His Majesty will naturally make these evidences become irrefutable tomorrow. "

Li Shen smiled slightly. Having been a prince for so many years, he knew the privileged class of feudal society very well.

There were many ministers who died unjustly in Zhenguan because Li Shimin wanted them to die.

Let’s not talk about it remotely, let’s just talk about Liu Jie and Zhang Liang who were saved by Li Shen in the past few years.

As long as you find an authoritative person and say that this is true, then this is true, and whatever is false is also true.

"By the way, continue to keep an eye on the Wang family's movements, especially their ships. How is the new ship we built in Fuzhou?"

"Back to your lord, the shipyard in Fuzhou has now built four very large clipper ships. After the improvements made by the team, the speed and load capacity have been greatly improved.

It's only a little slower than a small clipper ship, but it's still much faster than an ordinary sea ship. "

Wang Hongfuhui reported that because Li Shen had given an order to form another pirate group.

"Very good, two of them will be used as our own shipping ships, and the remaining two will be paired with a few medium-sized clippers to form a pirate group, named the Straw Hat Pirates.

The crew is recruited as before, but the leader must be a trustworthy person. Let them take over the northern seas,

Especially Goguryeo, Baekje, and Silla, don't let them buy grain and ironware.

Tell Zhao Laosi to send people to guard the strait that the king mentioned and act according to the plan we told him. "

There is huge wealth in the ocean, and Li Shen wants to take the lead and seize as many opportunities as possible.

His family will soon fall into his trap. Because it is inconvenient to deliver the news, they can only have people waiting in Malacca.

After the discussion, the two left.

The next day, Li Shen got up early, washed up, put on the prince's clothes, and took a carriage to the palace.

When Li Shen arrived, the morning court was already halfway through. When he arrived in front of the Tai Chi Hall, Li Shen thought for a while and felt that it was not a good time to go in. After all, he was late.

I was going to wait outside for a while before going in, but just after waiting for a while, Wang De walked out.

"His Royal Highness Prince Ji, Your Majesty summons you to come in."

"Ah? Aye knows I'm here?" Li Shen was a little surprised.

However, since Li Shen was allowed in, he did not hesitate and followed Wang De into the Tai Chi Hall in a swaggering manner.

Everyone looked at Li Shen.

This evildoer has not come to court for a long time, why did he come suddenly today?

Something happens every time he comes here. It seems like there will be a lot of fun today.
