Chapter 263 Standardize prices, enter the powerful(1/2)
It's time!
Official lists are posted everywhere in Xianyang.
The soaring prices in various counties and counties as well as Xianyang City are the result of wealthy and unkind merchants.
What they did violated the laws of the empire, and they are the merchants who are driving up prices at tomorrow's vegetable market!
As soon as this list came out.
Immediately, the other merchants who were keeping their duties were shocked and felt sad and happy at the same time.
Fortunately, they did not raise prices, otherwise they would be the ones being punished.
The common people also understood the whole story after being explained by the government officials.
They all yelled at the businessmen for being unkind and morally corrupt!
In turn, he praised the Eighth Young Master for serving the country and the people, and punished the profiteers.
The next day.
Xianyang City.
Caishikou.
One by one, the merchants were loaded into prison cars and escorted over.
On the execution platform.
A dozen executioners were holding large knives and their faces were full of flesh.
Under the execution platform.
Countless Li people gathered here to watch.
Everyone looked excited, raised their hands in the air, and shouted: "Kill these businessmen who are greedy for wealth!"
"Your Excellency is wise!"
"The Eighth Young Master is wise!"
On the chopping block.
Xiao He sat upright, holding the token, and shouted lightly: "You are businessmen, but you have speculated, raised prices, and made a lot of money for the country."
"Harm the interests of the people."
"If you violate the laws of the Qin Empire, you will be killed!"
Hearing the verdict, the people became even more excited.
"Kill, kill these profiteers."
"Bah, it's unkind to be rich."
"You deserve it, even death by a thousand cuts is not an exaggeration!"
Bang!
The officers and soldiers opened the prison car and lifted out the merchants one by one like chickens.
"No, sir, please!"
"We really didn't know anything about it, and we didn't know that it would violate the laws of the empire."
"Spare us, my lord, please!"
The merchants struggled and were unwilling to take steps.
However, he was forcibly held down by the officers and soldiers, and he knelt down on the execution platform.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
After being put on the execution platform, each merchant cried loudly and became incontinent.
Xiao He threw the token and shouted: "Behead!"
Bang!
The token lands.
The executioner spit out a mouthful of wine and landed on the long knife.
Poof!
There was a muffled sound.
The long knife cuts through the void.
The merchant's head was chopped off, and blood spurted out.
After a whole day of killing, Caishikou was filled with heads, dripping with blood, and rivers of blood.
The blood is soaring!
The news that the unscrupulous businessman was beheaded spread throughout Xianyang City in an instant.
The eldest son’s mansion!
Young Master Fusu looked gloomy, with a hint of fear, and said in a deep voice: "Eighth brother, I never thought you could be so iron-blooded."
Zhang Liang and Chun Yuyue also felt a little numb.
There were so many merchants, hundreds or even thousands of them, and they were killed at will!
"The Eighth Young Master is so iron-blooded, we should have expected that this method would be useless to him."
Zhang Liang frowned, and Chun Yuyue sighed deeply.
As time went by, this incident spread to the entire world.
"What?!"
"The Eighth Young Master is so ruthless!"
"There are hundreds or even thousands of merchants!"
"It seems that if you go against the Eighth Young Master, you will risk your life..."
All merchants in the world were shocked by this. They did not expect that Ying Ziye would be so fierce. They were frightened and terrified.
They all put away their little thoughts, not daring to go against the rules at this time, or hoard goods for a while, etc.
It would be bad if you accidentally become the next one to be beheaded.
Xianyang City.
Eighth Young Master's Mansion!
Ying Ziye summoned Xiao He and Zhang Han.
"Master!"
"Eighth Young Master!"
The two bowed their hands and sat down.
"You two, the merchants who are driving up prices and disrupting the market have been killed."
Ying Ziye looked at the two of them with a solemn expression and said, "The market prices should be stabilized now."
"As for how to stabilize the market, I have a charter here. You just need to follow this."
As he spoke, he took out a charter filled with regulations from the bookshelf on the side and handed it to the two of them.
"promise!"
Xiao He and Zhang Han bowed their hands.
At dusk.
Zhang Han bid farewell to Ying Ziye and left the Eighth Young Master's Mansion.
It's time!
In Zhangtai Palace.
"His Majesty!"
Zhang Han's figure appeared and he bowed his hands.
"Um!"
The First Emperor Ying Zheng glanced at Zhang Han and responded calmly: "What's wrong?"
"Reporting to your majesty, this is the Eighth Young Master's plan!"
Zhang Han presented the articles of association.
"oh?!"
The First Emperor Ying Zheng smiled with interest, took the memorial into his hand, and said in a leisurely voice: "I want to see if Midnight has any good ideas."
After unfolding the memorial, we can see that the above content was set in order to stabilize market prices.
