Lord Moyu was forced to open

Many shops in Bianjing City were swept away in the past few days. A group of foreigners wearing white robes and even white cloth on their heads appeared in front of the shops, holding bags of gold coins that made an alluring sound like the collision of metal.

The first thing I said when I entered the door was, take your gold coins, load all my goods and take them away!

If they come across high-value goods and do not have enough gold coins to pay for them, they can even take off two top-quality gems from their clothes as money to pay the bill, which often allows the store owner to make a lot of money.

I don’t know about other things, but at least the glassware, tea, sugar, silk and other commodities were almost all cleared out by this group of people in white robes.

Now all the merchants in the entire Bianjing city know about them. When the white-robed men arrive at the door of the store, the shop owners will immediately welcome them in and then close the shop. After these wealthy customers pick out what they don’t want, the rest will be packed up and sent to the Honglu Temple.

On this day, the Minister of Honglu Temple had just arrived for duty when he was visited by his subordinate, the Junior Secretary of Honglu Temple.

"Sir, please take care of those Arabs! If you don't take care of them, our Honglu Temple will soon become a warehouse!"

Zhou Jiwen, the Minister of Honglu Temple, was stunned when he heard this, and subconsciously asked, "What happened?"

The Shaocheng of the Honglu Temple hurriedly took him to the backyard, but at this moment there was almost no place to stand in the backyard, as it was filled with all kinds of silks, glassware, tea, sugar and other things.

Zhou Jiwen was shocked by the scene and asked hurriedly: "What's going on? Why are there so many things placed here?"

The Junior Secretary of the Honglu Temple immediately began to complain.

"Sir, haven't you noticed that these past few days? Every time those Arabs go out, merchants keep sending all kinds of goods to our Honglu Temple.

That's not just a few pieces!
That was delivered in truckloads!
When we asked the merchants, they said that the Arabs bought them and asked them to deliver them.

Now, the entire Honglu Temple, except for the office area, is filled with things bought by these Arabs. Now there is no place to stay!"

Zhou Jiwen couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth when he heard that. Looking at the mountain of things in front of him, he was so speechless that he almost burst into the sky!

Oh my God! Are these Arabs here on a diplomatic mission or to purchase goods?

This is the Honglu Temple, not a warehouse!
"Sir! We really can't let them pile up any further. If they continue to pile up, we won't even have room to work!
You don’t know how crazy they are. They bought 100,000 kilograms of stuff in one day. No matter how big the place is, it won’t be enough for them to store it all!”

Zhou Jiwen gasped when he heard this. Buying 100,000 kilograms a day, are they really treating these things as cabbages?
How rich is that!

But no matter how rich you are, you can't do that to the Honglu Temple!

Zhou Jiwen took a deep breath and said quickly, "Don't worry, I will go to the palace to report this to His Majesty. You should take good care of it and stop letting them pile up!"

The Junior Secretary of the Honglu Temple nodded immediately and placed all his hopes on his master.

Zhou Jiwen did not dare to delay and immediately stood up and went towards the palace.

The journey was smooth and about half an hour later, he finally met Eunuch Wang who was standing beside His Majesty in front of the Funing Palace.

"Eunuch Wang, when can His Majesty see me? I really have something important to report to His Majesty. Can you help me notify him as soon as possible? It's really urgent!"

Seeing his appearance, Wang Huai'en had a guess in his mind, and immediately asked: "Are you here for those Arabs?"

Zhou Jiwen was immediately surprised. He clearly didn't say anything, so how did Eunuch Wang know?
So he asked in surprise: "Eunuch Wang, how did you know that?"

Wang Huai'en shook his head helplessly, then pointed to the Funing Palace and said, "The officials that His Majesty is meeting with are all here for this matter. Since you are here for this matter, you can go in directly."

After saying that, he ignored Zhou Jiwen's surprised look and took him into the Funing Palace. When Zhou Jiwen entered the Funing Palace, he found that the Funing Palace, which was quiet in the past, was now like a vegetable market, with people everywhere.

Officials in various robes were complaining noisily. He could vaguely hear something:
"Your Majesty, please take care of those Arabs! They have bought up all the tea in Bianjing. I don't even have tea to drink these days. All I drink is water!"

What else: "Your Majesty, please tell those people to stop buying. I am old and I like to eat sweet and sour pork. But these Arabs bought up all the sugar! They didn't leave any! Now one ounce of sugar is sold for a hundred ounces in the market!
I can’t afford it! Woo woo woo…”

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

……

Now Zhou Jiwen finally understood that these noisy voices were all complaints about those cannibals!

Friendly forces! They are all friendly forces!

He immediately rushed in with a roar and started complaining loudly!
"Your Majesty! My Honglu Temple is in such a miserable state! Wuuwuwu..."

……

Listening to the noise around him, Zhao Jun felt that the world was very noisy.

I had just finished court and was planning to go fishing to relax, but just as I changed my clothes and asked someone to bring his own fishing gear, before I even left the Funing Palace, I was blocked in the palace by ministers who came to ask for a meeting one after another.

Just when he thought that something big had happened in the Song Dynasty that caused these ministers to seek to see him in such a large number, it turned out that they all came to complain about the Arabs!
And the reason for the complaint left him speechless.

What? The Arabs bought up all the things and they have nothing to buy.

The Arabs bought the restaurant for a week to eat. During this week, the restaurant was closed and was fully used to serve the Arabs. They had no place to eat or have dinner together.

There are also some Arabs who have no moral principles and are spending huge amounts of money to raise the price of mussels. Now the courtesans have become so discerning that they no longer look down on them!

And so on and so forth. In short, these are things that are not illegal but make them very uncomfortable.

Zhao Jun felt that the last one was probably the most uncomfortable for them. After all, everyone condemned price gouging, right?

Before he could solve these problems, the Minister of the Honglu Temple also came and complained that the Arabs bought so many things that the Honglu Temple was almost becoming a warehouse!

This is indeed inappropriate. After all, the Honglu Temple is a government department of the Song Dynasty, and this is too disrespectful.

Immediately, Zhao Jun asked everyone to calm down, promised to help them solve the problem, sent all the ministers back, left Zhou Jiwen behind, and asked Wang Huai'en to summon Aburatir and others into the palace.

By the time Abratir and others who were shopping entered the palace, this group of guys had already looked like nouveau riche.

The various colored jade rings, pendants, bracelets, and layers of silk products on the body are really... uh... too dazzling to take in!
Zhao Jun was immediately stunned and pointed at their incongruous outfit and asked:
"Prince Abratiel, what are you doing...?"
