Unlike Ouyang, who is entangled in all kinds of trivial matters every day and can't rest,
The people of Liyue Port can be said to be filled with indignation these days.
The thing is this,
After Maocai Gong was arrested, a notice was posted on the second bulletin board.
At first, all the people were just talking about it. Although they paid attention to it, like other things, they didn’t feel strongly about it.
The common people generally think that those big men who can live in Yujingtai are from different worlds, so they don't pay much attention except to ridicule them.
But then things changed.
On the second day after the announcement that Mr. Maocai was arrested, a new sign was hung on the notice board in front of the General Affairs Department. Different from the previous sign of "Outstanding Businessman of Liyue Port", this time
, is a list of "Liyue Port's dishonest businessmen".
They are all the names of foreign businessmen, and each name is followed by a detailed explanation of what the other party has done and why it was listed on the list. Everything is written very clearly.
Careful people can already see from this list that almost all the foreign businessmen on the list have in common that they privately sell the ore received at a low price from the General Affairs Department to Maocai Company.
Therefore, even the common people finally knew that Maocai Gong was arrested because of this incident.
When things got here, the people of Liyue Port still didn't take it seriously.
People's focus is still on gossips such as some scandals involving the eldest man of Yujingtai.
As a commercial capital, the people of Liyue Port have seen a lot of this kind of buying and selling activities, and they can treat it with a normal mind.
The reason for the heated discussion this time is because Maocai Gong lives in Yujingtai.
There is no other way. It is the simple pursuit of the common people to transcend social classes and live a better life.
As for the ability to live in Yujingtai, a powerful person who basically belongs to the top class of Liyue, the common people are usually curious.
Just like five years ago, when your family caused some troubles one after another, the common people in Huyan would discuss it for days.
Or maybe because Ouyang rarely appears, Guiping and Gui'an are respectfully called "Master" by many people in Liyue Port.
These are all reasons why common people have a desire and curiosity for this class in their hearts.
I thought that would be the case, but I don’t know when or who asked such a question.
"Do you know why prices haven't risen yet?"
Soon, the seal of the Layer Rock Abyss, the lack of ore, the purchase restrictions of the General Affairs Department, and the current "Liyue Port Dishonest Merchant" brand, all were connected by someone who didn't know.
“When something happened in the Bedrock Juyuan, the General Affairs Department and Huishan Department immediately collected all the ore on the market, stabilized the price, and also introduced a purchase restriction policy.
This is not only because the production of ore will decrease, which will cause the price of ore to rise sharply, but also because if the price of ore skyrockets disorderly, the price of all other materials will also rise.
Ladies and gentlemen, when you go to the wet market to buy vegetables, the prices of meat and vegetables have not increased yet. This is all the work of the General Affairs Department and the foresight of Seven Stars.
But what is Mao Cai Gong doing?
He actually secretly purchased the ore sold to foreign businessmen at high prices, hoping to wait until the price increased before selling it.
What kind of behavior is this?
He is digging up our roots in Liyue!
In order to make money from Mora, he did not even care about the life and death of us common people!
Therefore, this kind of person really deserves to be arrested!"
The above passage was divided into several versions and spread throughout Liyue Port in just a few hours.
It was only then that the people were shocked to realize what kind of disaster Maocai Gong's actions would bring to themselves.
And when things are related to their own interests, the anger that the people burst out is amazing!
"It turns out that Mr. Mao Cai is actually so ambitious?!"
"Let me tell you, many vegetables have increased by one molar today. Is this because Maocai Gong is hoarding ore?"
"That's not necessarily the case. It's hard to say that it really is like this!"
"Hey, there are only a few people who can live in Yujingtai. Which one can be a good person?"
"Bah, it's okay for you to scold Mr. Maocai. He's not the only one living on Yujing Terrace! Your family is pretty good. I heard that the price of daily necessities didn't increase this time, thanks to Mr. Ouyang's foresight.
!”
In addition to your family's affairs, other similar topics are going on in the streets and alleys of Liyue Port.
In teahouses and restaurants, whenever you see two or more people chatting together, they are definitely talking about Mao Cai Gong.
I usually look at it from a distance. Everyone is of different social classes, so I don’t have a strong sense of it. It’s okay to be a conversation starter.
But now it is directly affecting the Mora in their pockets, and of course the people are not happy!
We can’t blame the people for reacting violently.
Before the incident in the Layer Rock Abyss, the merchants in Liyue Port had already begun to seek death.
Many working civilians can already feel the pressure.
Now, although they don't understand why the pressure has disappeared, it has only been a few days before something like Mao Caigong happened again.
"How come there are always so many big bosses doing disgusting things even though they are making a lot of money?"
"Okay, okay, I didn't let people like Mao Caigong succeed this time, thanks to the blessing of Prince Yan!"
"Yeah yeah!"
At the same time, in the military tent where Ouyang was.
"What did you say? Ningguang agreed to Mao Caigong's bail?"
"Yes, just this morning, Mr. Mao Cai submitted a bail application, and it was just approved by Ningguang."
Snapped--
Ouyang slammed the table angrily and said in a serious tone.
"What about playing? How could you agree to such a request now? Are you ignoring the public's complaints?"
Of course, he doesn't care whether Mao Caigong wants to be released on bail. Anyway, the law is there. If the bail is within the scope and the bail can be paid in full, he doesn't care who he loves.
But what happens now?
Even he, who never leaves the military camp, has heard what the people outside are talking about. Does Ningguanghui know how much trouble the Maocai Guild will cause now that it agrees to bail it out?
Seeing Gan Yu standing there as if he still had something to say, Ouyang calmed down and asked.
"Anything else?"
"Well, Ningguang said, if Mao Cai Gong comes out, it will definitely arouse public anger. I would like to ask Ouyang if you have any ideas..."
As Gan Yu spoke, his voice lowered, as if he knew that this request was a bit too much.
But as a secretary, she still had to convey what should be conveyed, so after finishing speaking, Gan Yu stood there and smiled apologetically to Ouyang.
"Well, this is what Ningguang wants me to convey, not what I mean."
"OK, Got it."
Ouyang stretched out his hand to cover his forehead with some irritation. At the same time, he roughly understood what Ningguang meant.
The reason why he agreed to release Mao Cai Gong at such a critical juncture at such a huge risk was probably because he wanted to teach Mao Cai Gong a lesson and at the same time set him as a model, a model that would allow other businessmen to be hesitant before doing anything.
!
Tell them that not every business can be done!
Therefore, for the sake of effectiveness, Maocai Gong will definitely be besieged by the people after he comes out, and the result should not be too good, otherwise the purpose of warning other businessmen will not be achieved.
In fact, Ouyang now has reason to suspect that Ningguang sent people to do the things that fanned the flames!
As an ordinary young man who grew up under the red flag, although he has lived in this world for many years and his personality has changed a lot, his basic three views have not changed much.
It's okay to talk loudly or shout to kill someone. It's just a talk. Obeying the law is still a basic morality.
He Maocai's crime was extremely heinous, but there was the law of Liyue to punish him.
Now according to Liyue's laws, Mao Caigong has paid a huge bail amount and is about to be released, so Ouyang has nothing to say.
Even if he takes a step back, Ouyang won't be sad even if he really dies. He hoards things in an attempt to dig out Liyue's roots. If he really wants to deal with it seriously, beheading is justified.
Now Ningguang wants to use this method to "make the best use of everything", which is a bit excessive.
