Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 389 Chu Suanzi's Affair (Third Watch)
Chapter 392 Chu Suanzi's Affair

At the moment when the military exercise started, representatives from the four countries and five parties competed frantically for more than 2 sets of armor and [-] spears.

Compared with the prosperity of Wei State, the entire Jin Dynasty can be described as bleak.

Under Ran Ming's series of blows, the effect began to show.

A large number of raw materials were purchased, and a large number of craftsmen collectively moved northward. At this time, although the entire Jin Dynasty did not fall into a production standstill, there was no possibility of recovery for at least three to five years.

Wei Guo Huaxia Business Alliance followed Ran Ming, not because they had too much loyalty to Ran Ming, but because Ran Ming could bring them enough benefits.

Just like this time, the Huaxia Business Alliance copied the old background of the Jin Dynasty, leaving the Jin Dynasty with nothing to produce.In fact, these merchants basically monopolized the livelihood of the Jin Dynasty.

All monopoly industries have technological advantages, and you have no room for bargaining.

Unknowingly, a large amount of old money poured into the market in the Jin Dynasty, and the supply of goods was about to be sold out. No matter how powerful they were, they couldn't produce the goods that the people needed.

Almost all the sources of goods are in the hands of merchants in the state of Wei.

"If you want to buy cloth, that's good, but we don't accept old money, we only accept Wei Guo Yongxing treasure money."

"How to exchange this Wei Guo Yongxing treasure money with old money?"

"I'm sorry, Yongxing treasure money is not exchanged for old money at all, and our country of Wei is not short of copper, why do we need that thing?"

"But we don't have Yongxing treasure money, how can we buy things?"

"This is what we can't help! If you don't have Yongxing treasure money, you can use gold to exchange it."

"Gold? Not everyone can own this gold."

Old money can't buy anything, it's tantamount to waste.

In the past dynasties, after the change of dynasties, the old money of the previous dynasties would be collected, melted down, and new money recast.At that time, Sima Yan didn't know which string was missing in his head, but he didn't empty out the old money on the market and recast new money.

In this way, this huge loophole is an opportunity for Ran Ming to take advantage of.

Youdao is the father's debt to be paid by the son, but Sima Yan's debt was not repaid by his son or it was Sima Dan's turn to pay it back.

Ran Ming is still a kind person, and what the Huaxia Business Alliance attacked this time has nothing to do with the food of the people's livelihood in the Jin Dynasty.Instead, start with clothing, food, and other aspects.In just half a month,

Ordinary people are better off, because they are used to living a precarious life. Although they can't buy cloth or silk, they don't necessarily add a piece of clothing all year round. Besides, silk brocades are not consumed at their level even in normal times. thing.

But the gentry are different. Let alone silk, even old clothes, they are embarrassed to go out wearing them.Also, they are used to using rice paper produced in Qingzhou, drinking immortal wine, and using new furniture.

From simple to extravagant and easy, from extravagant to simple and difficult.

Now let them use Caihou paper or Zuobo paper to write, that kind of rough paper makes them feel troubled when they look at it.Especially if you're used to being immortal drunk, and then drinking other wines, it's almost impossible to drink.

Three days or two days can bear it, but they can't bear it after a long time.

Exchange gold for Yongxing treasure coins, but the exchange ratio is very outrageous. One gold is only equal to one thousand Yongxing treasure coins. The price of rice paper after exchange is comparable to gold, and even silk has doubled. Want to wear silk, this is not wearing clothes, but wearing gold.

As the children of the gentry, they were originally privileged figures, and now they are not even satisfied with the most basic necessities of life, wouldn't they make trouble?It wasn't until later that some scholars joined together and denounced the shops in the cities that things gradually became serious. The merchants also had reasons. There are many checkpoints along the commercial roads of your Jin Dynasty. Every time you pass a county, you have to collect taxes more than a dozen times. When the paper is transported to the south of the Yangtze River, it is exploited hundreds of times.

Merchants tell the reason for the price increase, which is actually half-truth and half-false. Jin Dynasty officials set up checkpoints privately, but they also know the harm of killing chickens and taking eggs, and they will not force merchants to death. Although the benefits are less, they are still there. enough for them to earn.But Qingliu scholars don't touch Yangchunshui with their hands, and they don't understand the Taoism inside, but they have indeed seen the phenomenon of merchants being exploited by the government.

What is Qingliu, in fact, is the Lord who stands and talks without back pain.For example, the thing about Hong Kong people's autonomy.In this way, the object of their condemnation was aimed at the government, and the government was aimed at the imperial court.The voice of denunciation became louder and louder, and he almost pointed at Sima Dan and scolded his mother.Don't underestimate the shamelessness of the gentry and their ability to turn right and wrong and turn a deer into a horse.

It's not that all the gentry children didn't understand, some of them knew that it was Ran Ming's fault, so what if they knew?You can never rob.Ran Ming is the king of Wei. How much they earn from these necessities will not affect Ran Ming at all. At worst, Ran Ming will not do their business.

Don't those princes who have no business in the Jin Dynasty still live well?
Offending Ran Ming is not worth the loss for them.If they offend Ran Ming, it will even affect their reputation.As a Qingliu, you must have your own strength of character. How can you reflect your strength of character?The best and most direct way is to not be afraid of power.Just like the Ming Dynasty, opposing the emperor's decision would be considered as having integrity.As a result, the officials of the Ming Dynasty were not of one mind with the emperor.In this way, the emperor had to trust the eunuchs and resist courtiers with eunuchs.

The imagination of Qingliu celebrities is amazing. "Hey, do you know why this merchant wants to raise the price?"

"I know about this. It wasn't those lowly merchants who went to Wei State for their own self-interest and future. Now we don't even have an official craftsman in the Jin Dynasty. We can't even build a copper turbidity platform. gone?"

"Then do you know why the craftsmen of the Jin Dynasty left the Jin Dynasty?" The wise scholar pretended to be mysterious, and said loudly: "It is well known that Ran Ming only loves mature women. Is there any woman in the world who is more familiar than Chu Suanzi?" ?”

"Be careful, this is a crime of disrespect!"

"understood!"

There is a saying that good things do not go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.Especially in ancient times when there were no entertainment activities, gossip news like this kind of lace attracted people's attention even more.

Why did Ran Ming hate him because of love, and failed to court him, so he used the resources in his hands to punish the Queen Mother.However, their ability to make up stories is very strong, at least this incident allowed them to make up their noses and eyes.

In this way, incidents of sons of the gentry going to the government to petition have been discovered one after another in various places, and this kind of incident has intensified.

The local magistrates were also dumbfounded. If ordinary people make trouble like this, they don't mind killing chickens and monkeys to suppress Xiao Xiao.But these sons of the gentry are different, they are all people of status, not to mention killing, even if they offend one, their officials will be exhausted.

They couldn't be appeased, they couldn't be appeased, and they didn't dare to arrest them. These magistrates had no choice but to report the matter directly.

Chu Suanzi understood Ran Ming's true intentions when he got the news of the fire below.Chu Suanzi said: "Everyone, the world is in turmoil and prices are soaring. What are the countermeasures?"

All the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty knew how this happened, and it was Ran Ming who made it up.So what?After careful calculation, it is also Chu Suanzi's fault, why are you provoking others?Now that people have come out with means of revenge, can you take it?
Ever since Jinnu and Tienu were ambushed by the fire in Jiankang City, Chu Suanzi had been worried about Ran Ming's means of revenge. She was very distressed and restless. She originally thought that Wei State was most likely to use the threat of war.

To be honest, if it was just the war, Chu Suanzi wasn't too worried.Because the Wei State in her eyes is not as powerful as people imagined.

It's a pity that Ren Chu Suanzi wanted to break her head, but she never thought that Ran Ming would be so vicious.This is not only a slap in the face, but also shakes the foundation of the Jin Dynasty.

At this time, Chu Suanzi was in chaos, and all the civil and military officials in the court were also panicked.Although the shadow of Chu Suanzi suffered heavy losses, it did not blind her eyes and ears. At least she knew very clearly that these scholars were starting to pass this matter and protested against her.Chu Suanzi was very resentful.

There was no sound in the hall, and suddenly she saw the little officials behind them, looking at her, without the awe they had before.On the contrary, it's a little fun!
"Rumor!" Chu Suanzi thought of the rumor that made her gnash her teeth, which made her and Ran Ming confused.Chu Suanzi thought for a while, and finally realized how powerful Ran Ming was.

However, she is a proud woman, so naturally she will not bow to Ran Ming.Chu Suanzi understood that this rumor should have been written by Ran Ming, and the purpose was to block the way for Chu Suanzi to plead with Ran Ming.

Chu Suanzi felt bitter in her heart, many scheming old foxes had been defeated by her, but it was a pity that she was doomed to fail this time.In desperation, Chu Suanzi thought of the best strategy.So Chu Suanzi was sick and bedridden, unable to take care of the government.

The only one who is in charge of the house is Sima Dan.

Although Sima Dan is young, there are still people in the court who understand.Shang Shu ordered Wang Shu to tell Sima Dan: "Your Majesty, there is a saying that the person who needs to tie the bell is needed to untie the bell. This matter was planned and implemented by Wang Sheng of Jiaodong. To solve this matter, he must come forward!"

Sima Dan said: "Wang Linggong means that I should ask my master?"

Sima Dan, as the son of Chu Suanzi, who listens to the government behind the curtain, has already learned a lot of political means through hearing and seeing.Although he was young, he also understood why his mother was sick at this time.

Politics, in fact, dress is a process of compromise and being compromised.

Now to resolve the turmoil in the Jin Dynasty, we must compromise with Ran Ming.But Chu Suanzi will never compromise with Ran Ming, if she compromises, her prestige will be completely lost.I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public in the future.Although no matter how young the emperor is, he is still the Ninth Five-Year Supreme and has his own dignity.But besides the emperor, Sima Dan has another identity, that is Ran Ming's disciple.

In ancient times, it was more important to respect the teacher, and the teacher respected the father.

It is a matter of course that a son seeks his father, and an apprentice seeks a teacher, and it is not shameful to say it.
