The Inspectorate is responsible for correcting and impeaching hundreds of officials, identifying wrongdoings, supervising various departments, and serving as the emperor's eyes and ears. Although the imperial censor of the Inspectorate is not of high rank, he has great power and has the power to make reports based on rumors.
In other words, the censor can impeach relevant officials based on what he has heard, without the need for evidence. Moreover, no matter who the censor impeaches, he is not guilty. On the contrary, he who knows good but does not promote it and knows evil is guilty.
.
When all the officials saw it, they all stopped and were about to leave.
"It's accurate." Lao Zhu's tone was calm, and he didn't express any dissatisfaction because of the censor's sudden performance.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," the censor thanked Lao Zhu first, and then continued: "Your Majesty, I have recently heard that merchants selling coal and charcoal in the capital are lowering their prices and fighting with each other endlessly. I sincerely request your Majesty to issue an edict to ban these merchants.
The two merchants were arrested and prosecuted."
This censor is naturally the person behind Yu Shaodong, and he is standing up to speak for him.
And Lao Zhu also knew very well who was selling coal.
After a moment of silence, Lao Zhu said in a deep voice: "This is Fengtian Palace, which is above the imperial court, not a vegetable market. Although the censor has heard about things happening, not everything can be reported to Fengtian Palace."
After Lao Zhu's words fell, the censor trembled all over, lowered his head and dripped with cold sweat, "I am guilty."
Lao Zhu glanced at the censor and asked: "Let me ask you, are those two merchants harmful to the people?"
"Back to the emperor, no, no. On the contrary, because they are scrambling to lower the price, the people buying carbolic charcoal are much cheaper than before."
"Since there is no harm to the people, just think that they are giving generously to help the people and retreat from the court!" Lao Zhu agreed, stood up and left.
All the officials immediately bowed down and said, "Send me off to your Majesty."
Zhu Biao stood there, thought for a moment, and did not leave directly. Instead, he turned to the back and chased his father.
When Lao Zhu saw the prince following him, he stopped and waited for him. When the prince arrived, he ordered: "Go tell Han Du and ask him to resolve the matter as soon as possible. If something goes wrong and arouses heated disputes, we will ask questions for him.
"
"My son, I obey your orders."
...
When Han Du received the message from the people sent by Zhu Biao, he naturally did not dare to neglect it. Han Du might not believe what others said, or he might not listen. But Han Du knew very well that he had to obey Lao Zhu's words.
Listen carefully and listen attentively.
So the next day, Han Du came to the shop early in the morning, and Eunuch Lu warmly welcomed Han Du in.
The waiters at the door still lined up the long cases and hawked the goods enthusiastically, but the effect was obviously not good. In the past few days, the people have obviously adapted to the various attention-grabbing shows on both sides. From the initial curiosity to the present, they are accustomed to it.
As a result, no matter how hard the waiter yells, there are not even one or two people watching the fun, let alone anyone entering the store.
On the contrary, the shop of Fuqi Trading Co., Ltd. opposite is exactly the opposite of Han Du's. The hawkers who were originally competing with Han Du have stopped one by one. Without saying a word, they raised their heads and walked towards Han Du across the street.
Du looked at him coldly.
The charcoal shop of Fuqi Trading Company is also the same as Handu's, one in the sky and one on the ground, with an endless stream of customers inside and outside.
After all, when faced with the same price of charcoal and pebbles, people will almost always choose charcoal.
Compared with charcoal, pebbles have obvious disadvantages, that is, they are not easy to ignite and are not as convenient to use as charcoal.
The charcoal business is very good, and there are no customers at the charcoal seller's side, so Fuqi's waiters naturally don't have to bother shouting. Moreover, their boss has not sold a single amount of charcoal, and they are all in crazy debt. Therefore,
As long as the Coal Coal Shop is suppressed on the scene, there is no need for them to shout.
Han Du sat down in response to Eunuch Lu's instructions. The two drank some tea and chatted for a while before Eunuch Lu got down to business: "Master Han is here today, can we close the net?
"
Since Han Du bought the workshop, he has been making briquettes and coal stoves in the workshop. Later, he even transferred the charcoal that should have been transported to the shop directly. The briquettes and briquettes produced by the workshop were
Coal stoves were also continuously transported to the shop secretly.
So far, the shop has stocked a large amount of briquettes and coal stoves.
Eunuch Lu knew about this, and Han Du also explained to him the functions of briquettes and coal stoves, so he asked this question.
Han Du smiled and took a sip of tea before nodding under Eunuch Lu's anxious eyes.
Eunuch Lu was overjoyed when he saw it, and asked as if he couldn't believe it: "Really? It turns out it wasn't preparation..."
It turned out that Han Du was planning to wait for Fuqi Trading Company to drop money into this giant pit, and then give it a fatal blow. But now that it was Lao Zhu who spoke, Han Du had no choice but to obey. And in this way
Come, it can be regarded as giving Zhu Biao an explanation.
"Forget it." Han Du put down the tea cup and shook his head. "Leave a little bit of a sec in your life so that we can meet each other easily in the future. After this time, Fuqi Trading Company will be severely damaged even if it doesn't die. We don't need to kill them all."
Han Du does not have this kindness. What he has always believed in is, 'Treat your friends as warm as the spring breeze, and treat your enemies as cruel as the cold winter.'
The main reason is that Zhu Biao did not agree to force the other party to death from the beginning.
A hint of intimacy flashed in Eunuch Lu's eyes. After all, a kind-hearted person can easily win the favor of others. Because no matter who he is, he hopes that the person he makes friends with is an upright and kind-hearted person, not the kind of person who is kind-hearted.
A cunning, despicable and shameless person.
"Then, are we going to make arrangements now?"
Han Du nodded and said casually: "Eunuch Lu, if you please." After all, Eunuch Lu is still in charge of this shop, and only he can direct the workers below at will.
Eunuch Lu went out and whispered a few words in the ear of the boy who was shouting hard.
The guy who shouted the loudest among them suddenly lit up his eyes. As if he was not tired even after shouting for so long, he quickly ran into the shop and took out the briquettes and coal stove.
Bang bang bang!
He slapped the desk so loudly that even his hands were red from the slaps, but he didn't notice it at all.
"Come here, ladies and gentlemen, take a look at the new things in our shop. Take a look..."
The common people had never seen briquettes and coal stoves before, so when the waiter yelled at them, they immediately surrounded them.
"Boy, what on earth are you this black guy?" The common people had never seen briquettes before, pointing at it and asked curiously. After saying that, they looked at the coal stove and continued to ask: "And you, you look weird.
