Nuclear Warlord

Chapter 183 The Wang Family's Means

"Urgent report!"

Emperor Qianwu was reviewing memorials in the imperial study room, when a young eunuch bowed, holding a scroll in both hands above his head, and ran in quickly.

Emperor Ganwu raised his head slowly, put down the imperial brush in his hand, and said in a calm tone: "Present."

Gao Dali nodded, took the scroll from the young eunuch's hand with small steps, and was about to present it to him, Emperor Ganwu said flatly: "Read."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Gao Dali opened the scroll, and read in a calm tone: "The magistrate of Huozhou bowed his head and played: there is no salt in Huozhou's salt shops, and the people's hearts are unstable, and there is chaos. It is caused by salt, please make a decision early, Your Majesty!"

After hearing the urgent report, Emperor Ganwu smiled coldly: "It's a rumor in the market, the Wang family has made it clear that they are fighting against me."

Gao Dali put away the scroll and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the people's hearts are unstable and there is chaos. What should we do? Do you want to release the refined salt now?"

Emperor Qianwu sneered and said: "The people's hearts are unstable and there is chaos, but it's just an exaggeration, and things haven't developed to that level yet."

At this moment, another eunuch's voice came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty, urgent report!"

"pass."

The little eunuch walked in quickly, Gao Dali took the initiative to meet him and received the urgent report, Emperor Ganwu remained calm: "Keep reading."

Gao Dali opened the scroll: "The last general, Song Guang, bowed his head and reported: There are rumors recently that there will be no salt in the army, and the officers in the army can only store salt for half a month. The rumors are spreading and the army's morale is unstable. I hope that your majesty will replenish the officers' salt to calm the army's morale!"

Emperor Qianwu's expression remained calm: "Well, you royal family, even the army's salt has been supplied, is this a demonstration to me?"

The people's hearts are unstable, and they can still be suppressed by the army.

But if the morale of the army is not stable, it is a big problem.

However, all of this was within Emperor Qianwu's expectation, and the matter was far from uncontrollable.

Gao Dali put down the urgent report, and said coldly: "The Wang family's heart can be punished!"

Emperor Ganwu said indifferently: "The matter is almost brewing. I have ordered Changfeng that he must attend the court on time tomorrow, and call all the other salt merchants in the capital to the Xuanzheng Hall, as well as the Patriarch of the Wang Family. called."

Gao Dali bowed to accept the order and went to arrange the matter.

Li Changfeng was not at all surprised when he received the imperial decree, everything was in his and Emperor Qianwu's plan, and he was somewhat excited.

"Great officials and officials are finally going to be monopolized by this prince, haha!"

the other side.

Wang Jingzhi, the patriarch of the Wang family, has already got the matter of Emperor Ganwu summoning other salt merchants in the capital, and invited all these salt merchants to the Wang family's meeting hall.

Without any opening remarks, Wang Jingzhi looked arrogant, and said directly: "Have you all received the order of Emperor Ganwu?"

More than a dozen salt merchants nodded quickly: "Yes."

Wang Jingzhi smiled coldly, "Do you all know what to do?"

All the salt merchants quickly nodded in agreement.

"Of course I know. The harvest in the salt well has not been good recently. There is nothing to do with the low yield. When the yield will recover, it depends on God!"

"Hey... My family is miserable. The salt well just collapsed. When we can resume production depends on good fortune. Maybe it will never recover!"

"Recently, it has been raining continuously in Yantian, how can the salt be exposed to the sun! I am also worried, but the weather is not beautiful, there is really no way!"

"..."

The Wang family controls more than [-]% of the salt fields and salt wells in the world, and controls the entire Daqian official salt sales channel. These salt merchants all rely on his Wang family to live.

With the influence of the Wang family, wanting these small salt merchants to be destroyed is just a matter of one sentence. There used to be salt merchants who disobeyed the Wang family, and their corpses were marinated into bacon.

Seeing how well-informed everyone was, Wang Jingzhi nodded in satisfaction, and said in a calm tone: "Just know what's in your mind. When this matter is over, the price of official salt will be raised by [-]%, so that everyone can earn enough."

As soon as this remark came out, the eyes of all the salt merchants lit up.

Don't look at it as a small [-]%, but for official salt and other indispensable materials that are related to the national economy and people's livelihood, it is simply huge profits!
In this way, not only can it make up for the loss of the sale of official salt these days, but it can also make a lot of money.

Wang Jingzhi felt nothing in his heart, he waved his hands impatiently and said, "Okay, let's all step back."

He didn't even say a threat, which shows his confidence in the deterrent power of the Wang family.

……

Ever since Li Changfeng burned the Zhao family's property last time, Li Ji said in court that Li Changfeng should apologize to the Zhao family. After being severely whipped by Emperor Qianwu, he became obedient.

During this period of time, he didn't dare to target Li Changfeng anymore, keeping a low profile.

Because he knew that with the usual style of doing things of the Eight Great Aristocratic Families, Li Changfeng would definitely be retaliated against, and he only needed to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

The development of the following things was just as he expected, the Zhao family and the Wang family united to attack Li Changfeng, and now they even directly confronted Emperor Qianwu.

Li Ji became excited.

"The Wang family is in control of the existence of the official salt. Now that there is such a big commotion, I'll see how you end up, Father!"

"Li Changfeng, Li Changfeng, don't you dance very happily? This time, even if the emperor favors you, he will take you to appease the Wang family. I will see how arrogant you are in the future!"

"You wait for me, sooner or later you will be trampled under my feet!"

the other side.

After Li Chengye learned of this, he felt a little regretful, and sighed repeatedly in the mansion.

"Hey... Brother Nine Emperors, Brother Nine Emperors, you are acting too arrogant and domineering. Why do you want to provoke the Eight Great Aristocratic Families?"

"Even if you want to provoke the Eight Great Aristocratic Families, why don't you wait until Li Ji is dead before provoking? This time you go down, from now on I will be the only one who will personally get rid of the threat of Li Ji!"

"There's also Li Ji, who was treated so badly by Li Changfeng, yet he can swallow his breath, what a waste!"

"Fight, fight hard, if you all fight to the death, no one will compete with me for the crown prince, haha!"

……

Feng Quji, the head of the officials, was pacing back and forth in the living room with his brows frowning, his eyes full of worry.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the Eight Great Aristocratic Families are not easy to provoke. How are you going to break the situation this time?"

"Your Highness Ninth Prince, you provoked this matter from the beginning to the end. What are you going to do this time? The official salt is in the hands of the Wang family, so it's not easy to handle!"

Thinking about it, Feng Quji gradually revealed a thoughtful look in his eyes, and said to himself uncertainly: "Maybe... His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince has already figured out a solution, but this is just a game set up by His Majesty and him?"

Even the Fengtian Society, who has been hiding in the dark and looking forward to the chaos of the world, is now very worried and fidgeting in the secret stronghold.

　Dear readers, as I said two days ago, some things have been busy recently, and I don’t have much time. I can only update [-] words a day for the time being. I’m in a hurry, and I’ll make up for it later~
