Chapter 1103 Civil Disturbance in Central Asia Development Company

"I'm sorry, guest officer, we have nothing left in this small shop!"

"There is nothing, why do you still open a store?" At this moment, the scholar pointed to the wine and meat that had just been brought to other tables: "Isn't there no wine and meat? Why does he still have it?"

"Oh!" the bartender said: "Our small shop is serving customers, as for you, a white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with you, a wolf-hearted thing, do you want to serve it!"

"You! Zhuzi" the book was so angry that the veins on his forehead were bulging.

"Why do you want to fight?" the bartender said: "It's such a waste, I can beat you three by one. If you talk shit here, I will beat you to death!"

The scholar didn't dare to fight with the bartender, so he shouted loudly: "Where is the shopkeeper, do you still want to do business?"

"Anyway, the Great Wei is going to perish, so this business doesn't matter!" As the rumors became more and more outrageous, the people did not believe them.With the economic development of Wei State, the transmission of news became faster and faster. The news from Chang'an to Yecheng could be transmitted within two days at most.The shopkeeper heard that these scholars were talking nonsense, and began to believe it, but when they mentioned the news that Chang'an had fallen, they knew he was farting.

When the rumor started, it was very sensational and shocked the whole country, but as it spread more and more outrageous, the people felt that they had been insulted.

"Damn it, you are teasing me!" The proportion of soldiers in Wei State is very high, and almost every village has young and strong soldiers who joined the army. They said that the entire army of Zhenxi Army was wiped out. Nothing.The Zhenxi Army is still practicing, let alone fighting, and they haven't even seen a ghost

Since ancient times, those who win the hearts of the people win the world.Ran Ming exempted the people from the corvee, and promised the people all over the world that they would never increase their taxes.So the emperor Ran Ming became the god in the hearts of the people.

Although the common people don't care who is their emperor, but they sacrifice their lives to protect the emperor who is sincerely for them.That's why there are 30 soldiers and civilians in Yashan.Because the emperor of the Song Dynasty was sincerely kind to the people.Just when more and more rumors in Wei State were unfavorable to the court of Wei State, people from all over the country who did not know the truth began to form a large-scale Xiangyong, preparing to face the national crisis together.

Dingling County, Shangdang County, Bingzhou is an ordinary county in Wei State. After the Yongjia Rebellion, most of the people moved south with their families.Dingling County, which originally had more than [-] households, had fewer than [-] households at its lowest point.Although the population of Dingling has increased in recent years, Dingling is still a county with less than [-] households.

In Nanwan Town, the county seat, although the sky was full of cold stars, the night was originally quiet, but it was crowded with people and noisy.Li Ruhai, the mayor of Nanwan Town, climbed a ladder to a pile of firewood, and then shouted at the folks on the wheat field: "Men and gentlemen, everyone, be quiet. The main purpose of calling everyone today is to discuss one matter. I heard that our Great Wei Wangshi was defeated by a Hulu from the west, Anxi Army and Zhenxi Army were all wiped out, it is said that Chang'an was lost, and this Hulu was going to fight across the Yellow River and enter Yecheng is gone."

Hearing Li Ruhai's words, the people in the audience all bluffed.

"The barbarian is so fierce?"

"Nonsense, can you defeat our Great Wei's master Wang?"

"So Ye City may not be able to defend?"

"The Anxi Army and the Zhenxi Army are all elites. There are tens of thousands of troops. If they say nothing, they will be gone. Even Chang'an can't hold it. Can Yecheng be held?"

"It seems that our great Wei is going to change again!"

Anyone who is old in this era is already used to changing strings.The Xiongnu Han Kingdom that transformed from the Western Jin Dynasty to Liu Yuan was wiped out by Shi Le after just [-] years.Is Wei Guo, who has been around for more than ten years now, coming to an end?
"Listen to me, old and young, the barbarian's ideas are good, and they still want to ride on our heads and do their best." Li Ruhai laughed and said, "I have been the grandson of the Jie people for more than 20 years. To be honest, it’s really not human’s job to be the grandson of a barbarian. I, Li Ruhai, have finally figured out what it means to be a hero by knowing the facts and what it means to live rather than die. This is all bullshit. , I, Li Ruhai, was born as a member of Da Wei, and died as a ghost of Da Wei, now that Da Wei is in trouble, my surname Li will never be a coward."

"Li Ruhai, you bastard, what kind of nonsense are you talking about? You are the only man who co-authored with us in Dingling? You dare to go to the country and are not afraid of death. Are all men in Dingling cowards?"

"Yes, men in Dingling have no cowards!"

"We also want to go to the national calamity together, no matter life or death, bloody battle to the end!"

"Life or death, bloody battle to the end!"

For a moment, hundreds of thousands of people were boiling. Li Ruhai asked a young man to find a piece of white sackcloth, then bit his finger, and dripped blood on it.At this time, the white linen was quickly stained red with blood.These people took their own hatchets, machetes, or weapons, and brought their own dry food, and formed King Qin's rescue army and headed towards Yecheng.

There is actually more than one volunteer army formed by the people in Nanwan Town, Dingling. Of course, when these people gathered together, they frightened the prefect of the county. Also dubious.Some county and county officials can't sit still anymore. Although it is common to say that the country changes color, the county and county officials in Wei Guo are now non-local officials, and their influence in the local area is limited.In addition, this is a political task. Once the rumors are true, they will definitely be punished if they don't say anything.Therefore, these officials also gave great convenience to these spontaneously formed rebels.Either open the treasury, or open the arsenal, and arm the rebels.

In fact, Dingling is just a microcosm of the Wei State, and there are many spontaneously formed rebels like Nanwan Town.The common people took practical actions, and students from county schools and township schools in various counties also responded.Being a modest gentleman doesn't mean that you don't have blood.

Before the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the blood of the big man was not cold.The students of the county school and the township school were not very old, some of them were twelve or thirteen years old, but Huang Ming's deeds had already been widely spread by the court of Wei State. He joined the army at the age of 12 and made a name for himself.These teenagers take Ran Ming as an example. Since ancient times, the role of this example is infinite.Fortunately, the teachings of the county school and the township school couldn't control these students at all.

"It doesn't matter whether you live or die, let's go to the national calamity together!" These students also hung their long swords and held up a big banner, marching towards Yecheng mightily.

Although the royal special guards of the State of Wei dare not say that they are all-pervasive, the royal special guards knew the news almost without deliberately inquiring about major events such as the uprising army from all over the country.

Ran Ming has a habit, perhaps because his predecessor was a shady gangster, so he likes to take advantage of the situation. This time the "organization" and the Central Asia Development Company conspired to launch an attack against the Wei State Ran's regime, and Ran Ming still decided to Take advantage of the situation.He first took advantage of the momentum of the Huaxia Business Alliance to defeat the Central Asia Development Company in the field of business warfare.

People control people's wealth and army, and my heart is the emperor.Fighting wars in any era is fighting for money.The Central Asia Development Company conspired to betray Ran Ming and the State of Wei. In fact, Ran Ming could use the power of the court to crush the Central Asia Development Company to death, but Ran Ming did not do so, because Ran Ming did not want to make a bad head for future generations. .

Because the Central Asia Development Company adopted a very secretive method when secretly assisting Yu Wenyi and countless horse bandits and sand bandits. Usually, they were shipped by regular caravans. There was neither on-site handover nor physical evidence. It was robbed of property and supplies by Yu Wenyi or those sand robbers.In fact, it is impossible to convict the Central Asia Development Company based on the confession of Yu Wenyi, a dead man.Because there was no transaction at all on the surface, but there were robberies one after another.The horse bandits and sand bandits provided the Central Asia company with dirty things, and their methods were also secret. A certain sand bandit or horse bandit character betrayed the team, and the Central Asia Development Company organized private guards to break into the horse bandit's lair and seized a large part of the property. .

Even though he clearly knew that there was an ulterior motive in it, Ran Ming still had to pinch his nose and reward them.Since it is impossible to solve the Central Asia Development Company by legal means, Ran Ming does not want to set a precedent, that the imperial power is supreme, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die.In fact, this theory is completely bullshit.This is the slavery policy adopted by the Qing Dynasty.In fact, even in the Han and Tang Dynasties, even Li Shimin and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could not do whatever they wanted and do whatever they wanted.

Although Ran Ming has enough prestige, he is unwilling to break the core concept of Wei State's rule of law that he established.At this time, Ran Ming can use normal business means to completely defeat the Central Asia Development Company.Cut off the financial resources of the Northwest tyrants and noble families.

As long as there is no wealth in the Northwest, the wealthy family will immediately fall from the phoenix on the branch to the mortal world, not as good as a pheasant.

Monopoly means huge profits.Although the Central Asia Development Corporation controls the Silk Road, although it monopolizes the Silk Road flowing with gold, it does not monopolize the downstream supply of goods. Whether it is silk and porcelain that are equivalent to gold in the West, in fact, the products are not Northwest China. Produced by wealthy families.They all purchased raw silk, porcelain or silk products in Wei State.However, whether the special products of the Central Asia Development Company are cattle and horses, jade, agate or Persian woolen blankets, they cannot monopolize the Wei market.

Then the problem arises. The Zhongnan Development Company, Nanyang Development Company, and Ocean Development Company of the Huaxia Business Alliance almost monopolize all the key products of Wei's foreign trade, such as silk, porcelain, and tea.Although the Central Asia Development Company can monopolize jade and agate, they are not necessities of life, and the three major companies can also obtain a large amount of goods from overseas.

As a result, the Central Asia Development Company was completely out of business after a set of combined punches in the Huaxia Business Alliance.The Huaxia Business Alliance interrupted the supply project with the Central Asia Development Company in the form of paying liquidated damages, and at the same time jointly suppressed the products of the Central Asia Development Company.Although price reduction is a means of self-help, without a huge sales network, the products of Zhongya Development Company can only pile up like a mountain, but no one cares about them.

The nominal headquarters of Zhongya Development Company, like the other three major companies, is located in West City, Yecheng. At this time, the facade of Zhongya Development Company was rebuilt from more than 260 small shops, covering more than [-] steps. It is a three-story pavilion, tall and majestic, and there are hundreds of thousands of people from the firm, managers, and shopkeepers of the Central Asia Development Company who come to negotiate business.If you don't make an appointment, you won't be able to enter the door of the Central Asia Development Company.

However, at this time, the headquarters of the Central Asia Development Company, which was originally full of traffic and traffic, has become deserted.Without the source of goods, the Central Asia Company would have no major income. Exporting silk and porcelain to the West was actually the main business of the Central Asia Development Company.If it is just a price increase, the Central Asia Company is not worried. The wool comes from the sheep, and the Roman and Persian nobles will eventually pay the bill.However, the Huaxia Business Alliance cut off the supply of goods fundamentally, and this knife was too ruthless.

Seeing that the inventory of Central Asia Company was less than one month, the shareholders of Central Asia Development Company became anxious.Although the Central Asia Development Corporation has four or five hundred shareholders, these shareholders, which are composed of Northwest tycoons and aristocrats, are actually not poor.But they have long been used to getting money from Central Asia Development Corporation.The Central Asia Development Company can obtain a net profit of more than 1000 million gold per year, and each shareholder can earn as little as thousands of gold, as many as tens of thousands of gold.

The income from farming is too low, especially if you don’t cultivate the land yourself, you can’t make much money at all.What's more, the production of land in the northwest is lower than that in the Central Plains, so the income is also low.After careful calculation, the annual income of one mu of land is less than one hundred yuan, and every half of the land can only be ten thousand yuan, which is the income of one gold.These thousands of gold are equivalent to the income of thousands of land. In this era, even a super powerful family like Wang Xie, in fact, the land under their name is only tens of thousands of land.

Because of making money, the shareholders of the Central Asia Development Company lived a very luxurious life and made a lot of ostentation, but suddenly lost this income, how did they live?
It is impossible for any country to achieve true unity and cooperation, after all, people's hearts are selfish.When cooperating with the "organization", the shareholders of the Central Asia Development Company felt that they could properly force the imperial court to allow them to make further compromises.But who would have thought that the imperial court had no intention of compromising at all, but directly wanted them to be killed at once.

Selfishness is human nature, the more wealth one has, the more selfish these rich people become.At this time, they all automatically ignored that when they cooperated with the organization, they also voted for it, but now they yelled: "Li Chenliang get out."

"Lee Chenliang steps down"

In a luxuriously decorated room on the third floor of the Yecheng Central Asia Development Company headquarters, Li Chenliang turned a deaf ear to all kinds of shouting and foul language in the hall downstairs.A person who can become the president of the Central Asia Development Corporation is definitely not an idiot.Li Chenliang tapped the table lightly with his fingers, making rhythmic sounds.

Li Chenliang said indifferently: "Your Majesty already knows what we are doing, and we have done that matter impeccably, but His Majesty knows it. The only explanation is that there are traitors among us, why? You want to force us all Dead end?"

Rebellion has been a business with your head tied to your trouser belt since ancient times. If you succeed, you will be prosperous and rich, with endless enjoyment, and if you fail, your family will be ruined.Betting on both ends is the only way for the gentry to survive, and they will never hang themselves on a tree.No matter who is in charge of the country, their families can pass on and continue.Under the concept of family, country and world, family is always more important than country.

More than ten years ago, they were almost mistaken. Ran Min, who was the least likely to succeed in the first place, succeeded. Not only did he not separate himself from one side, but he killed one powerful enemy after another, and finally unified the world and opened up borders.As Conglong elders, Taiyuan Wang, Zhongshan Liu, and Fanyang Lu all received rich rewards.But they are excluded from the core circle of power.It is not even comparable to the Hongnong Yang family, Luoyang Chen family and Chenjun Xie family who came from behind.

In terms of the possibility of the "organization" successfully overthrowing the Wei state, it can be said that there is almost no chance of winning.However, Ran Min more than ten years ago can also be said to have no chance of winning, because Ran Min had no more than [-] troops at that time, and his territory was only one city. Min was much stronger then.However, Ran Min suddenly achieved a hegemony that no one else could achieve.

Li Chenliang said: "Who is it?"

All the major shareholders of the Central Asia Development Company are looking at each other, whether it is funding Yuwen, or the horse bandits and sand bandits along the silk road, or joining forces with "organizations", these matters are related to the interests of all shareholders of the Central Asia Development Company. His wealth and life, so no matter on the account, or other handlers, they have fully guaranteed.However, Ran Ming still knew about it, and took action to deal with them.

Although the vicious competition against Central Asia Development Company appears to be purely commercial activities of Zhongnan Development Company, Nanyang Development Company and Ocean Development Company, in fact Li Chenliang is very clear that without Ran Ming's nod, Zhongnan Development Company, Nanyang Development Company It is simply impossible to join forces with Sino-Ocean Development Company.We must know that relatively speaking, the three major companies of Zhongnan Development Company, Nanyang Development Company and Ocean Development Company have very fierce commercial competition, especially in the area of ​​ocean trade. They can still maintain a certain harmonious atmosphere in Wei, but in Wei Overseas, the competition between them is very fierce, and it can even be said that they have been beaten to death.Now they actually joined forces to deal with the Central Asia Development Company. If Ran Ming didn't mean it, no fool would believe it.
