Emperor Gan Wu was reviewing the memorial in the imperial study. A small eunuch bent, holding a scroll in both hands, holding a high above his head, and ran in quickly.
Emperor Gan Wu slowly raised his head, put down the imperial pen in his hand, and said calmly: "Come on."
Gao Dali nodded, took the scroll from the eunuch's hand with a small step and was about to submit it to him, Emperor Gan Wu said lightly: "I miss it."
"Yes, your Majesty."
Gao Dali opened the scroll and said in a calm tone: "The prefect of Huozhou bowed his head and reported: The salt shops in Huozhou are all salty, and the people are unstable and there are chaos. The Wang family clearly stated that the salt fields are insufficient. It is rumored that the Wang family is searching for the Wang family official. Because of salt, please make a decision soon!"
After hearing the urgent report, Emperor Gan Wu smiled coldly: "What a rumor, the Wang family is clearly fighting against me."
Gao Dali put away the scroll and said carefully: "Your Majesty, there are chaos in the people's hearts. What should we do? Should we release the fine salt now?"
Emperor Gan Wu sneered: "There are chaos in the unstable people's hearts, it's just an exaggeration. Things have not yet developed to that point."
Just then, the voice of a little eunuch came from outside the door.
"Your Majesty, I'm urgently reporting!"
"pass."
The little eunuch walked in quickly, Gao Dali took the initiative to meet him and received the urgent report. Emperor Gan Wu's expression was still calm: "Continue to read."
Gao Dali opened the scroll: "The last general Song Guang bowed his head and reported: There are rumors that he has done nothing recently. The salt of the official in the army is only half a month old. The morale of the army is unstable. I hope Your Majesty can supply the official salt to calm the morale of the army!"
Emperor Gan Wu's expression was still calm: "Okay, you Wang family, even the salt from the army was supplied. Is this a demonstration to me?"
The people's hearts are unstable, and the army can still suppress them.
But if the morale of the army is unstable, it will be a big problem.
However, all this was expected by Emperor Gan Wu, and things were far from developing uncontrollable.
Gao Dali put down his urgent report and said coldly: "The Wang family's heart is punishable!"
Emperor Gan Wu said in a distant tone: "The matter is almost brewing. I'll send Changfeng the dynasty that tomorrow's dynasty will make him attend on time, and summon all the other salt merchants in the capital to Xuanzheng Hall, and the head of the Wang family will also give it to me. Called."
Gao Dali bowed and took the order and went to arrange this matter.
Li Changfeng was not surprised at all when he received the imperial edict. Everything was in his plan and Emperor Gan Wu, and he was a little excited.
"The big official salt is finally going to be monopolized by this prince, haha!"
On the other side.
Wang Jingzhi, the head of the Wang family, had already received the task of Emperor Gan Wu summoning other salt merchants in the capital, and invited all of these salt merchants to the Wang family's meeting hall.
Without any opening remarks, Wang Jingzhi looked arrogant and said straight to the point: "You have all received the order from Emperor Gan Wu?"
A dozen salt merchants nodded quickly: "Yes."
Wang Jingzhi smiled coldly and said, "Do you all know how to do it?"
The salt merchants nodded quickly and said yes.
"Of course I know that the salt well harvest has not been good recently, and there is no way to low yields. When will the output recover, it depends on God!"
"Oh... my family is in trouble. The salt well collapsed directly. When will it resume production depend on luck. Maybe it will never be restored!"
"The salt field has been raining for several days recently, so how can it be dried? I'm also anxious, but the weather is not good, there is really nothing I can do!"
“…”
The Wang family controls more than 95% of the world's Yantian Yanjing and controls the entire Dagan official salt sales channel. These salt merchants rely on his Wang family to live.
With the power of the Wang family, it was just a matter of one sentence to destroy these small salt merchants. The bodies of salt merchants who once disobeyed the Wang family were marinated into bacon.
Seeing that everyone was so tactful, Wang Jingzhi nodded with satisfaction and said calmly: "Just know what to do. When this matter is settled, the price of Guanyan will increase by 10% so that everyone can make enough money."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the salt merchants' eyes lit up.
Although it is only a small 10%, for materials such as Guanyan, which are indispensable to the national economy and people's livelihood, it is simply huge profits!
In this way, not only can we make up for the loss of the suspension of official salt these days, but we can also make a lot of money.
Wang Jingzhi felt no trouble in his heart, and waved his hand impatiently and said, "Okay, let's go back."
He didn't even say anything threatening, which shows his confidence in the deterrence power of the Wang family.
...
Since Li Changfeng burned the Zhao family's property last time, Li Ji said in the hall that Li Changfeng should apologize to the Zhao family. After being slapped by Emperor Gan Wu, he became obedient.
During this period, he did not dare to target Li Changfeng anymore, and was very low-key.
Because he knew that with the always-off style of the eight major families, he would definitely take revenge on Li Changfeng, and he just needed to reap the benefits of the fisherman.
As he expected, the Zhao family and the Wang family united to attack Li Changfeng, and now they even directly fought against Emperor Gan Wu.
Li Ji became excited.
"The Wang family controls Guan Yan's existence. Now that I'm making such a big noise, I see how you end up with your father!"
"Li Changfeng, Li Changfeng, didn't you dance happily? This time, even if your father prefers you, he will attack you in order to appease the Wang family. I see how arrogant you will be in the future!"
"Should you wait for me, and sooner or later you will be stepped on!"
On the other side.
After learning about this, Li Chengye felt a little sorry and sighed repeatedly in the mansion.
"Hey... Brother Nine Emperor, Brother Nine Emperor, you are too arrogant and domineering. Why do you provoke the eight major families?"
"Even if you want to provoke the eight major families, why don't you wait until Li Ji is killed before provoking him? This time you go down, and I will be the only one to get rid of Li Ji's threat in person!"
"And Li Ji, who was so miserable by Li Changfeng, could even swallow this breath and couldn't hide. He was such a waste!"
"Fight, fight hard. If you fight to death, no one will compete with me for the position of prince, haha!"
...
Feng Quji, the leader of all officials, was now frowning and paced back and forth in the living room, his eyes full of worry.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the eight major families are not easy to provoke. How do you break the deadlock this time?"
"Your Highness the Ninth Prince, you have taken this matter from beginning to end. What are you going to do this time? Guan Yan is in the hands of the Wang family, so it's not easy to deal with!"
As he thought about it, Feng Quji's eyes gradually showed a thoughtful look and said uncertainly: "Maybe... His Highness the Ninth Prince had a solution. Is this just a bureau set up by His Majesty and him?"
Even Fengtianhui, who had been hiding in the dark and looking forward to the chaos in the world, was now very worried and restless in the secret stronghold.
Dear readers, I said two days ago that I have been busy with some things in recent times and I don’t have much time. I can only temporarily update two or four thousand words every day. I’m in a hurry to make up for these things later~
