The strongest emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

Chapter 813 Something Happened to Chongtian (Part 33)
"My lord, the business of 33 Chongtian has been greatly suppressed. There are even cases of blatant vandalism and looting in some places." Zou Fengchi said to Li Tai.

Since Li Shimin ascended the throne, 33 Chongtian has never had any problems.After all, everyone in the world knows that Li Shimin has shares in this 33rd Heaven.

But now Li Shimin has already controlled Bintian, and the new emperor Li Zhi has become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty.So 33 Chongtian's shares naturally returned to Li Tai's hands.

But what Li Tai didn't expect was that just a few months had passed.Someone even attacked the 33rd world.

"Have you sent someone to investigate, who is behind the scenes?" Li Tai asked Zou Fengchi.

"After the incident happened, the subordinates ordered people to start an investigation. The people who made the incident were instigated by five surnames and seven sects." Zou Fengchi said to Li Tai.

Li Tai can imagine that the five surnames and seven sects are secretly doing things.After all, now Li Tai has become their deadly enemy, even to the point of being immortal.

"How big is 33 Chongtian's loss now, have you thought of a countermeasure?" Li Tai asked Zou Fengchi.

"Reporting to my lord, the loss of 33 Chongtian this time is very heavy. Naturally, I have thought about a lot of countermeasures, including asking the government to detain the troublemakers."

"It's just that for some reason, only a small number of places have detained the troublemakers. Most places have adopted the tactic of delaying words." Zou Fengchi said.

Hearing what Zou Fengchi said, Li Tai couldn't even think about it.Because the matter is too obvious, it can allow the government to shield those troublemakers.

It's not just the five surnames and seven sects behind it, I'm afraid there is an even more terrifying person behind it.And this person is definitely not just an important minister in the court.

In fact, Li Tai has already thought of it. There is probably only one person in Datang who can comprehensively attack 33 Chongtian.That is the current emperor Li Zhi.

But Li Tai believed that Li Zhi would never do such a thing.So who did this kind of thing in the name of Li Zhi? I'm afraid Wu Ze is the only one.

"I didn't expect her to be so impatient. It seems that she feels that this king has threatened her position." Li Tai said to himself after laughing.

Hearing Li Tai's words, Liu Rengui asked Li Tai, "My lord, is it possible that the person behind this is the emperor?"

In fact, Liu Rengui was extremely surprised at this time.He even couldn't believe that Li Zhi would do such a thing.

But from Li Tai's tone, it can be heard that this person is probably the current emperor.Otherwise, Li Tai wouldn't say that it would threaten his status.

"Liu Xiang, although the emperor is not operating behind the scenes. But his empress is not sure." Li Tai said with a smile.

"My lord, the empress is your sister-in-law, how could she secretly trip you up?" Cheng Tieniu asked Li Tai.

"The royal family has no family ties, don't you know this truth? Now the strength of this king has threatened the current emperor. Even if the emperor believes that this king will not do anything against his ministers."

"But some people don't think so. They must be scheming now to weaken the king's rights. To bring down 33 Chongtian is tantamount to cutting off the king's money." Li Tai said.

"My lord, if it's what you said, then I'm afraid it will be difficult to deal with this matter." Xu Liang said to Li Tai.

"If there is anything difficult to deal with, Zou Fengchi, immediately order 33 Chongtian to close all operations. And all the goods that can be transported will be transported back, and those that cannot be transported will be destroyed on the spot. All personnel will be withdrawn to Youzhou." Li Tai said to Zou Fengchi said.

"My lord, if we do this, our losses will be immeasurable. Please think twice before acting, my lord." Zou Fengchi persuaded Li Tai.

"Since they have drawn the Tao, we naturally have to have countermeasures. We can't follow the Tao drawn by others." Li Tai said.

"My lord, most of the sales of goods today mainly come from the state capitals. If the business of 33 Chongtian is stopped, I'm afraid it will put a lot of pressure on our economy." Liu Rengui said to Li Tai.

"Liu Xiang, what you said is certainly very reasonable. But you have overlooked an important factor, that is, the goods sold by 33 Chongtian have now become the necessities of the common people."

"And those luxuries are the favorites of those in the upper class. If they suddenly can't get these things, what do you think they will do?" Li Tai asked.

"Even if they need those goods, we have stopped selling them. What can they think of? Will they come to Youzhou to buy them?" Liu Rengui asked puzzled.

"Liu Xiang is right, they will definitely come to Youzhou to buy. Although the common people cannot travel thousands of miles away, businessmen from various prefectures will not give up this business opportunity." Li Tai nodded and said.

"The subordinates understand what the lord said. This is the relationship between the retail industry and the wholesale industry that the lord once said. Now our retail industry has been hit, but it can be transformed into a wholesale industry."

"Although our profit will be reduced in this way, it can increase our sales volume, so the final reward may not decrease but increase." Zou Fengchi said.

"As expected of being the Minister of Finance of Yan State (Li Tai is short of staff now, so business and finance are not separated.), this business sense is still very sensitive." Li Tai nodded and said to Zou Fengchi.

"My lord is really a clever plan. Not only will this not cause us any loss, but it will also cause some people to harbor resentment towards the five surnames and seven sects." Xu Liang said to Li Tai with a smile.

"Actually, we still have a certain loss. After all, those black income (profits from casinos and brothels) will also be lost." Zou Fengchi said to everyone.

"Those industries are not on the right path after all, and it's time to end. After all, in the territory of Yan Kingdom, there are no such black industries." Li Tai said.

Li Tai started to rectify black industries such as vassal states a few years ago.Nowadays, no one dares to blatantly do black business anymore.

……

In the state capitals of Datang, there was a notice of 33 Chongtian's closure of business at the same time.This can't help but surprise everyone.

Even Wu Ze couldn't help being taken aback when he received the news.She never thought that Li Tai would give up these properties.After all, it was Li Tai's cash cow.

And Wu Ze's real goal is to get the shares of 33 Chongtian.And everything he did was for Li Tai to see.Without the protection of the emperor, 33 Zhongtian simply could not bear the pressure of the five surnames and seven sects.

And this Wu Ze's ambition is not ordinary, she is not going to get only [-]% of the profit like Li Shimin.Instead, they are going to share [-]/[-] with Li Tai, and even want to get a higher profit than Li Tai.

But not only did Li Tai not distribute the profits of 33 Chongtian to Li Zhi.Instead, it directly ended the business of 33 Chongtian.This inevitably made Wu Ze feel a little embarrassed.
