"If Jikong is defeated, then who will erode his power? His people are not united and he will definitely be bribed by other forces, and the most powerful forces among them may be those big chambers of commerce."
Ji Youlan thought deeply and nodded: "Keep talking."
"Well." Ye Wudao said: "Behind Jikong, there is also the support of one or two large chambers of commerce. If there are two chambers of commerce, they must be at odds. In the future, when Jikong ascends to the throne of God, which chamber of commerce will benefit the most?
"
"If there is only one chamber of commerce, do other chambers of commerce like it? Don't they want to get a share of the pie?"
What Ye Wudao meant was that the supporters behind Jikong were actually the Chamber of Commerce, but because they held the Punishment Department and had too much power, other chambers of commerce also wanted to infiltrate or even control the Punishment Department's power.
As long as the Huilong Chamber of Commerce is willing to do its best and negotiate with other chambers of commerce, they will eventually reach some kind of cooperation, reach an agreement to defeat Jikong, and cannibalize the Punishment Department.
Naturally, this kind of trick is not beneficial to Shenxia, nor is it beneficial to the Ji family royal family.
Ji Youlan also frowned and said suspiciously: "Ye Wudao, are you the person sent to me by Huilong Chamber of Commerce?"
Ye Wudao couldn't laugh or cry: "Your Highness, it would be great if I were one of theirs. I know you think that letting those chambers of commerce take action will eventually disintegrate Shenxia's power and cause Shenxia to become a puppet."
"But now, if you don't do this, Ji Kong and Ji Qingwu will do it in the future. When the Ministry of Finance is in deficit, they will need help from the Chamber of Commerce. Even if those chambers of commerce have bad intentions and are chronic poison, it is better than all of a sudden.
It's better than ever."
Ji Youlan sighed: "Yes, no matter who it is at that time, the last resort is to ask the chamber of commerce to help. Letting them help is not that easy. If they can become a large chamber of commerce, how can they do a loss-making business."
Ye Wudao nodded: "It is precisely because they do not engage in loss-making business, so we must give them profits. We must do everything one step at a time. Once Ji Kong is dealt with, we will deal with Ji Qingwu."
"Finally, suppress these chambers of commerce."
Ji Youlan nodded lightly: "Okay, I'll ask Bi Yunjie to come see me, and then I'll talk to people from several other large chambers of commerce."
"No need, just find Bi Yunjie." Ye Wudao advised.
"Does Bi Yunjie... have that much energy?"
Ye Wudao smiled bitterly: "Your Highness, our contact with those chambers of commerce is far less than that of Bi Yunjie. Negotiations with other chambers of commerce are left to Bi Yunjie. Anyway, we and Bi Yunjie take the majority.
Yes, he will definitely try his best."
Although Ji Youlan had some doubts, she still chose Ye Wudao's idea and invited Bi Yunjie to come. Bi Yunjie was also as fast as lightning and hurried here not long after.
"I've met His Highness, I've met Ye Shangshu." Bi Yunjie looked extremely polite.
Ye Wudao said politely: "Master Bi, you are polite. I called you here today mainly to discuss one thing and deepen our cooperation. In addition, I will leave some important matters in Zhendu Mansion to your capable people."
Someone will handle it.”
Bi Yunjie pretended to be surprised: "How dare we, the Huilong Chamber of Commerce, interfere with the rights of the town capital."
"Just recommend some people to help." Ye Wudao said calmly: "Today, we don't have to pretend to be crazy, just get straight to the point. We have to start dealing with the Punishment Department. The Holy Spirit will give you full assistance, and will issue a decree to contract out some of the Punishment Department's rights.
To the town capital."
Bi Yunjie's heart moved, his face became solemn, and he said: "I understand, you want help from Huilong Chamber of Commerce, but the relationship is too big, I want to ask my father for instructions."
"Then please do it." Ye Wudao looked unhappy.
Seeing this, Bi Yunjie said again: "I can agree to you certain conditions, but the prerequisite is that the conditions are reciprocal."
"There are no equal conditions." Ye Wudao said directly: "Our conditions are definitely beneficial to us, but the long-term benefits are very high."
