Houmen Fenghua: Meet the best evil mother-in-law

Chapter 706
All of this was within Emperor Mingguang's expectations.

He knew that these aristocratic families that had been arrogant for hundreds of years were not so easy to deal with.

Look, he even asked the king of Chengjun to show his "sword". Official salt shops have been built in all major states and counties, and a large amount of snow salt is placed there so clearly, just to tell you that the imperial court has salt, and you can't wait for it. I can't get up.

However, it is a pity that those people are "blind and blind" and don't see it at all.

He even suspected that he had "ulterior motives".

Emperor Mingguang snorted coldly: "Hmph! I gave them a chance, since they don't know how to cherish it, then don't blame me for being cruel."

An imperial decree was issued directly, in order to stabilize the Daming salt market, businessmen all over the world were not allowed to hoard salt, and those who disobeyed the order would be beheaded.

At the same time, increasing the stock of snow salt in various places, he wants to see how much background these families have and how much salt they can buy.If they dare to evacuate the local salt storage, hehe...

Following the imperial decree of "don't hoard salt", not only the salt merchants smelled unusual, but also other merchants who didn't pay attention to this area also noticed the abnormality.

As one of the largest businessmen in the world, Qian Laifu received invitation letters from various businessmen to ask him about the inside story.

Qian Laifu, who had received the news a long time ago, directly hinted to everyone, what to do, don't meddle in the salt merchant's affairs, especially at this time.No matter how powerful their merchants are, can they compare to these families?Can it be tougher than the court?

"It's okay if the two don't interfere, and if the two don't help each other, once you intervene, it's okay if the side you help wins, but if you lose..." Qian Laifu said, "Then I don't know what will happen. The relationship between the aristocratic family and the court It is not something that small businessmen like us with shallow foundations can intervene in."

Many businessmen complained in their hearts: Come on!We are "small businessmen", but you Qian Laifu is a "big businessman in the world", even you dare not intervene, who else would dare to intervene?

However, they are also worried, what should they do if the aristocratic family and the court want them, small businessmen, to stand in line?

Fortunately, the imperial court said that as long as they don't follow behind the aristocratic family, there is a high probability that they won't do anything to them, but these aristocratic families...

"Master Qian, if we refuse, what if we are settled by the aristocratic family afterwards?" A businessman surnamed Sun said cautiously, "We are all in small businesses, but we can't stand the trouble of these aristocratic families."

Qian Laifu turned the white jade finger in his hand, slightly puzzled: "Then if you help the aristocratic family, what are you going to do if the imperial court troubles you afterwards?"

"Uh..." Master Sun froze.

If the court wins, needless to say, it will definitely clean up the family and its vassal families.

But... the law does not blame the public. Compared with the smaller families, in order to stabilize the situation, the imperial court should only "catch the big and let go of the small", and won't care about small businessmen like them?
"Besides, where do you think that the court suddenly became hardened without any preparation? Since the court dared to do it, it must have thought about the consequences and prepared for it. Since this is a game that cannot be lost, " Qian Laifu looked at Master Sun and said, "How can you be sure that the imperial court won't overturn the table if you miss one hit?"

Master Sun and all the people present gave a "click" in their hearts.

No way, the imperial court actually has such a big determination? !

If you miss one hit, you will turn over the table? !

"Why not? Who gave you the illusion that that person can tolerate someone stepping on his head? If you really can bear it, you don't do it when you are young. Why do you do it at this age?" Qian Laifu was almost at this age. It implies that Emperor Mingguang is not young anymore. It stands to reason that the emperors of all dynasties would not make much movement at this age, and just want to "spend their old age in peace."

Then leave everything to the next emperor.

But Emperor Mingguang didn't do it. He hadn't moved much in the past few years. This year, he suddenly attacked the family with the salt mine in his hand. Is this normal?
Not normal.

Since it's not normal, then keep quiet, and don't get involved if you can.

Who knows if Emperor Mingguang will turn the tables?

If he really turned the tables, not afraid of civil uprisings, and used force to suppress the aristocratic family and businessmen like them who dared to go against the court, what would they do with the court?
What these businessmen gambled was that the imperial court "did not dare".

Master Sun and the others: "..."

Isn't it time to turn the tables? !
The court, really can't take it anymore?

But, are they betting on it?

Certainly not.

If the imperial court wants to clean up those aristocratic families, if those aristocratic families want to resist, they will inevitably put their wealth and lives on it, but is it necessary for them, businessmen who have nothing to do with it, to be involved?

Of course not.

They even prayed to the imperial court to quickly suppress those aristocratic families, so that the world would not be in chaos, otherwise...

Otherwise, the world will be in chaos and the people will be miserable. Not only the common people in the world will be unlucky, but also businessmen like them, who can only stand up in a "peaceful and prosperous age".

Master Sun swallowed his saliva: "Then... what Master Qian means...we just watch helplessly and don't care? But what if... if there is too much pressure on the court and there is a civil uprising... we will also be implicated what."

If the two don't help each other, it's okay if the aristocratic family loses, but if the court loses.

Damn, these merchants will also be pulled off the boat.

Master Qian is joking with them, right?
How can this matter be solved without their help?

It seems that the aristocratic family and the imperial court are fighting, they sit on the mountain and watch the tiger, but in fact they are just fish in the pond who will be harmed if they are not careful, okay?
Qian Laifu remained expressionless, and asked, "Then Master Sun means..."

"What I mean is very simple, that is, we have no other choice but to force the court to win." If we don't help the family, if the family wins later, we must settle accounts with them.

It would be better to help the court from the beginning, not only to get rewards, but also to prevent the court from overturning the table, detonating civil uprisings, and bringing them small businessmen into trouble.

Qian Laifu saw Master Sun expressing his thoughts, and smiled slightly: "Master Sun is indeed a smart man, no wonder this business is getting more and more popular. It's not like some people who don't know themselves and always think that they are big businessmen. I hope that the world will be in chaos, so that I can earn some refugee wealth... But how do they know that the refugee wealth will not be able to earn money from peaceful events? The world is really going to be chaotic, and if you are not careful, you will die if you lose; Safe and secure, if you lose, it’s just a loss of money, and you can find a way to earn it back. There is only one life, and only a fool would want to risk his life to gamble, don’t you think?”

Among the businessmen here, which one has no family background?
Staying in the nest of wealth, at most, they want to make more money and make their nest richer, but no one wants to make fun of their own lives.

In the past, everyone didn't think about it. They just thought that these merchants were people on the same boat. If the imperial court wanted to deal with anyone, they had to hug each other to keep warm. Disaster."

But following Qian Laifu got a lot more mixed up, and gradually they also grasped the lifeline of the court—you are honest, if you don’t fight against the court, the court will not bother to talk to you, you earn your money, the court will do the court thing.But if you are dishonest, or if what you do makes the court feel threatened, it will be strange if the court doesn't deal with you.
