Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2596 Economic Control
After Zhu Xi was taken away, Zhu Changshou became a little worried. He felt that if he wanted to save his son now, he had to unite with other families and put pressure on the county government.

Of course, if they could succeed without pressure before, but now that the new county magistrate doesn't know how good they are, then they can only put pressure and let the new magistrate know how good he is.

After having this idea, Zhu Changshou didn't hesitate or stay in the slightest, and quickly sent someone to invite people from the four major families.

The four major families are the Zhu family, the Wang family, the Han family and the Yu family.

After receiving Zhu Changshou's invitation, the members of the other three families hurried over. The interests of the four major families were bound together, and they were related to each other, so sometimes they were extremely united.

After these people came, they were very curious.

"Brother Zhu, why did you call us here in such a hurry?"

"Yeah, after we heard your invitation, we all came here in a hurry. What's the matter with you?"

When everyone asked, Zhu Changshou's face was very ugly, and he said: "The thing is like this, Quanzi fell in love with a singing girl, so he got him to the mansion. Who would have thought that someone would go to the county government to file a complaint, and Quanzi was arrested at the mansion. People from the county government were taken away."

Hearing this, everyone was taken aback. How dare the county government take care of the affairs of their four major families?
To be honest, more or less members of their four major families did this kind of thing, but they never thought it was a serious matter.

But Zhu Xi was arrested, and he was arrested in Zhu's residence, which is a bit strange.

"Is the county government so bold now that it dares to fight against our four big families?"

"That's right, that's right, they really ate their hearts, but don't worry, Brother Zhu, we'll go to the county government to ask for someone. If they hand over the person, it's okay, but if they don't, we want them to go to the county government." nice."

If the people from the county government dared to attack the Zhu family this time, they might dare to attack the Wang family or the Yu family next time, so if necessary, they would naturally unite.

Hearing these people's words, Zhu Changshou was somewhat relieved. As long as these people were with him, there would basically be no problem forcing the county government to release his son.

But just when they wanted to go to the county government, Wang Ren hurried over from the county government.

"Father, I have met several uncles."

Wang Ren can only be regarded as a junior in front of these patriarchs, and his father Wang Deli is also here, so he is naturally very respectful.

Wang Deli nodded: "You came at a good time, we are going to the county government to ask someone to be able, is Zhu Xi okay now?"

Wang Ren worked in the county government office, and he was actually the spokesperson of their four major families. When questioned at this time, Wang Ren's expression turned ugly.

He still hesitated to speak.

When Zhu Changshou saw this, he felt a little uncertain, and quickly asked, "Nephew, what happened?"

"Tell me when the time comes, there are no outsiders here, are you going to kill us in a hurry?"

At this time, Wang Rencai finally spoke, "Zhu Xi...was...killed."

When they heard that they had been killed, the crowd was stunned for a moment, but Zhu Changshou suddenly called out my son, then spit out a mouthful of blood, and passed out with a plop.

"Brother Zhu..."

Everyone ran over in a hurry to help Zhu Changshou up. After using many methods, they finally woke up Zhu Changshou.

"My son is really dead?"

Everyone kept silent, Wang Ren would not lie to them, since Wang Ren said that Zhu Xi was dead, then Zhu Xi must be dead.

"Qin Huanxi... You killed my son, I will never forgive you, I will never forgive you..."

Zhu Changshou cursed and hated him.

After he had been scolding like this for a long time, he finally calmed down slowly. After he calmed down, he looked at the other three families and said, "Now that my son has been killed, we don't need to go to this county office, but But we have to avenge this revenge, and we also have to give the county government some color, otherwise, they will dominate our four big families in the future, don’t you think?”

Everyone looked at each other and then nodded. They naturally felt that what Zhu Changshou said was very reasonable. If they didn't fight back this time, the county government would no longer be afraid of them. cease to exist.

In order to maintain their privilege, they must do something.

"Brother Zhu is right, so what does Brother Zhu think we should do?"

"We'll just listen to Brother Zhu on this matter."

Zhu Changshou nodded and said: "What we have to do is also simple. Stop all the shops. The four of us have a lot of shops and a lot of goods. If we stop the sale of goods, the prices of many goods will rise, and these Things are related to people's food, clothing, housing and transportation, and Donghai County will definitely be in chaos, and the county government will be in a hurry at that time."

If something like this happened in the place under his jurisdiction, it would be unreasonable not to worry.

And as long as they are in a hurry and there is no way to solve it, they can only compromise with their four major families.

After hearing what Zhu Changshou said, some other people nodded quickly: "That makes sense, we'll do this, and I'll order someone when we get back. Our shops are all closed."

"Extremely, extremely, I will go back and send someone to close my shop as well."

After the shop is closed, they will definitely lose some money or something. However, for the future interests and status of their four major families, even if they lose some money, there is nothing wrong with it.

After they agreed in this way, they went home and closed their shops.

Their four major families can be said to be deeply entrenched in Donghai County, and they can be said to be involved in all aspects of the industry, and they are almost monopolized by them in terms of food.

So, after they shut down the store, within a day or two, all walks of life in Donghai County were affected.

The price of food has risen, and the price of food and clothing has begun to rise. After the price of goods has risen, how can many poor people afford it?
Soon, the entire Donghai County became somewhat panicked, and many places also began to become chaotic.

These situations quickly spread to the county government.

"Lord County Magistrate, Lord County Prime Minister, the four major families have all closed down their shops. Now that the price of goods in Donghai County is soaring, the people's life may soon be unbearable. This... what should I do? , this... this is the revenge of the four major families."

The situation was very bad, Qian Hai glanced at Qin Wuyou, and said, "Prince Qin, what should we do now?"
