Datang: Only by resisting the decree can we become stronger

But it was beyond Tang Jian's expectation. He shook his head and said, "Xiao Tang, what you said makes sense to me personally."

"It's just that, when it comes to doing business, the two of us combined can't compare to Li Qiu."

"It's like a mountain every other line."

"Since Li Qiu is so determined, you should do this first."

"In this matter, I am still willing to trust him."

Hearing this, Tang Jian couldn't help sighing softly.

"I said Mr. Fang."

"It's been a while since His Majesty returned, right?"

"Why are you so cautious?!"

"Looking at you in this political hall, you don't even dare to speak loudly..."

Chapter 956 Coping

In this world, the person who knows Li Shimin best.

Fang Xuanling, the famous Prime Minister through the ages, can definitely be regarded as the number one among them.

Therefore, when Changsun Wuji was reprimanded.

Fang Xuanling guessed the holy intention immediately.

So since then, his cautious character has been brought to the extreme.

Pay attention to everything you say and do.

Never leave a single flaw.

Even if Li Shimin wanted to find fault, there was nothing he could do about it.

He was also the only high-ranking official who had not been reprimanded by Li Shimin at the time who had emptied the crown prince and went south without telling the [-] Youzhou army.

On the other side, after coming out of Jingzhao Mansion.

Ma Zhou was ordered by Li Qiu to return to Furong Garden quickly to plan and prepare everything.

And when Luo Kexin, Wu Jue and everyone else knew the news.

The huge system of the entire Furong Garden also began to operate efficiently and violently.

……

Three days in a row passed when Li Qiu had his final negotiations with many grain merchants.

This group of grain merchants still maintained their last stubbornness.

Even under the impetus of Li Qiu, the imperial court has already issued the decree that the price of food in the market should not exceed a hundred cash.

But they still go their own way.

Grain stores continue to operate.

But Doumi is still at the level of [-] Wen.

Among them are some cunning big grain merchants like Li Yuanwai.

It is because he is worried about further hostilities with Peiping Wang Li Qiu, so as to cause even more trouble.

So they lowered the price of rice in their shop to six hundred cash.

Leave room for this line of easing.

But Li Qiu's reserve price and the government's government orders are still far behind.

Just after the third day, when the decree personally signed by Li Qiu came into effect.

The shops of many grain merchants are still selling rice at high prices.

What they wanted was to test the court, especially Li Qiu's true attitude.

The result is predictable.

What they finally got was Li Qiu and the imperial court, who were tougher than expected and imagined!

That day, led by Li Qiu.

Jingzhao Mansion, Dali Temple, officials in the household department, and official messengers were dispatched collectively.

According to the decree issued before, all the grain stores in the city were collectively attacked in an instant.

be severely punished.

After seeing such a scene, the group of grain merchants were also furious.

They are usually miserly, looking at the heavy fine in front of them, their hearts are bleeding.

Even Li Yuanwai, the leader of the grain merchants.

At the moment is also quite emotional.

On the surface, he saluted Li Qiu respectfully and said, "Mr. Li."

"Before, the imperial court had issued a decree to prevent the price of rice in Chang'an City and surrounding shops from being higher than a bucket of money."

"It's our own greed that ignores the court's laws."

"Nowadays, we can be regarded as getting all the stolen goods, and there is nothing to quibble about."

"We accept the fine issued by the imperial court."

"However, after paying this fine."

"We won't sell this rice."

"We will close all these grain stores ourselves."

"Doing this will not violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty and the government's government orders, will it?"

Hearing that he challenged him so angryly, Tang Jian at the side wanted to step forward and scold him angrily.

But he was stopped by Li Qiu.

"Master Tang, our Tang Dynasty and even His Majesty are included."

"They all value the court law the most."

"What Li Yuanwai said did not violate the laws of the Tang Dynasty."

"Your own shop, your private property, whatever you want to do with it, you can do whatever you want."

After speaking, Li Qiu took people to other places to check the law enforcement situation.

As the group of grain merchants said before.

Behind them, there are still many shadows and chains of princes and ministers, royal relatives and relatives.

Now that they are suffering, it is natural to invite some prominent figures behind them.

In the early days, this group of people only thought that the Jingzhao government, the household department and other officials were short of money.

Jump out to find trouble and ask for some benefits.

But just when they planned to come out to smooth things over, put oil and water on those officials, and settle the matter.

But they suddenly discovered that this matter itself is completely different from what they thought before!

If they are in front of other officials, they dare to discuss their seniority, to pull out their roots and friendship.

But in front of Shangshu's right servant shooting Li Qiu, they all felt that they were nothing!

If you are Chai Shao, a relative of the emperor at the level of Li Daozong, maybe you are not bad.

But in reality, how can they compare with the well-known and illustrious military concubine Chai Shao and Jiangxia King Li Daozong? !

Following this, the group of people moved in unison, and all shrank their heads back in an instant.

For such a thing, they would never dare to stand out, and go against the King of Peking for no reason.

Think of the King of Peiping who made them all loathe and despise him back then.

Now it has already become an existence that they must look up to and never dare to offend easily.

Ever since, these grain merchants who were caught in the present.

None of them ran away, and they paid heavy fines one after another.

The sum of these fines has reached hundreds of taels of gold.

However, he was heavily fined in the morning.

These grain merchants all had their own anger.

All the grain stores under their own names were closed one after another.

Rice is no longer sold.

This time, they are going to unite to put pressure on the King of Peking.

As long as they are all closed, the people in the city will not be able to buy food.

After things get serious.

In the end, all these pressures belonged to this Li Qiu.

At that time, they will not only have to recover the heavy fine they just paid out.

It is only necessary for the right servant of the Shangshu to shoot Li Qiu, and to be subdued personally!

It's a pity that their stubbornness has long been expected by Li Qiu.

At the same time as they closed their doors, the Furong Restaurant and many tea shops under the control of Furongyuan also opened for business at the same time.

But this time, they no longer sell food, drink and tea.

The store sells only food.

Chapter 957 Fighting

This is the initial sale of food.

In fact, they were all temporarily mobilized from Furong Garden and its surrounding areas.

The total amount is not much.

For looting and people with bad intentions.

This time, Furongyuan also adopted strict purchase restriction measures.

For each household, the record of household registration in Jingzhao Prefecture shall prevail.

Only a maximum of seven days' worth of rations can be procured.

As for the price of food, it is all in the price of a bucket of rice.

Only one-seventh of the current market price.

This kind of great event naturally attracted the scrambling and looting of the people in the entire Chang'an city.

No matter how the people in Furong Garden comforted them, they would not listen.

Seeing that the scene was gradually getting out of control.

Li Qiu had no choice but to apply to Li Shimin, and directly mobilized the forbidden army in the city to maintain order.

This eased the chaotic scene.

in the evening of the day.

This group of grain merchants got together.

Like some small and medium-sized grain merchants among them, they naturally wanted to express their worries about Li Qiu's menacing tyranny.

"Mr. Li, everyone."

"Since ancient times, people have never fought against officials."

"As merchants, we are shamed and cast aside by literati and officials."
