Chapter 1018 Advance

The empress is silent.

Dou Dexuan clutched his forehead, feeling dizzy, "Your Majesty! Forty percent... something wrong!"

Shen Qiu said: "Mr. Zhao Guo said that he will be outside."

The emperor laughed angrily, "He will still be out, can I just sit and watch him squander all the cloth in the household department?"

Wu Mei's eyes were dim, "Your Majesty, just watch."

The emperor glanced at her, "Look?"

The queen nodded, "Ping An is not such a foolish person."

Dou Dexuan raised his eyes, "Your Majesty."

You can't be blown away by the pillow wind!

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty?"

...

"Forty percent over there!"

Wang Shun's face darkened, "Are you trying to compete with us?"

Cui Jian shook his head, "There is a mountain of money and food in the household department, we can't fight it."

Lu Shunzai said gloomyly: "But it's the money from the Ministry of Household Affairs. If it loses more than half of it, no one can stop His Majesty from messing with Jia Ping'an."

Wang Shun squinted his eyes and said in a firm voice, "Since we have started, we can't retreat. The Ministry of Households can lose... How long has the Ministry of Households of the Tang Dynasty been? How many years have I waited for the nobles? In terms of background, Li Tang is not enough!"

He raised his head, as if there were flames burning in his eyes, "Forty and a half percent. Jia Pingan, do you dare to follow to fifty percent?"

Lu Shunzai's voice was like howling, "Dou Dexuan can strangle him to death!"

...

The entire East and West Market is overcrowded at the moment.

"Don't squeeze!"

The city magistrate led people to stop those people desperately, but it was useless.

"Quick! Jin Wuwei is invited, hurry up."

The city magistrate looked at the crowd in front of him and said in panic, "Don't let anything happen!"

"The Jinwu Guard is here."

Before the market warns, you are the one from Jinwuwei.

"queue!"

The sergeants were beating those disobedient with sticks.

A woman screamed, "Someone stabbed me!"

Two sergeants of the Jinwu Guard rushed up, and later brought a flushed man out, and beat him severely.

"Send it to the cell that likes men!"

"Everyone is lined up, let's talk about you! A man has the nerve to squeeze behind a woman, why squeeze?"

"Stand still!"

It has to be said that the army is the most effective at critical moments.

Thank you so much.

"If you hadn't arrived in time, someone would have died today."

Once someone is killed, his official title will not be guaranteed, and if he fails, he will be exiled.

The general leading the team said: "Duke Zhao has already made arrangements."

City Order: "..."

...

"Zhao Guogong, 45% over there."

Even Bao Dong's complexion changed.

Forty-and-a-half percent, almost cut in half.

The scale of this loss is unprecedented.

Everyone is looking at Jia Pingan.

Jia Pingan put down the book and asked, "Throw out all the cloth from the Jia family!"

Xu Xiaoyu went out without hesitation.

Jia Pingan looked at the crowd and said, "The node is here."

what node?

An official of the household department mourned: "Every year, the household department receives a huge amount of cloth. These are the taxes paid by the people. Now that the price has been cut in half, it means that the huge amount of taxes has been cut in half. It's over!"

Some people even glared at Jia Pingan.

"There will be problems with this year's salary!"

"If there is a war this year, the DPRK and China will not be able to send out even a large army."

Money and food are the basic market of a country. If the basic market is maintained, stability will be maintained. Once the basic market collapses, the country will also collapse.

"I know better than you what those cloths mean to Datang."

Jia Pingan said: "The value of the cloth is cut in half, and the tax is cut in half."

The official said in grief and indignation: "I thought it would be better for those high-class people to eat, at least they don't have to be so vicious. But they chose a method that hurts both sides. The aristocratic family has a deep foundation, even if the cloth in the family is cut in half, they grit their teeth. But that is home, and we are the world!"

Jia Pingan said softly: "Meat eaters always think of home, not country."

Whenever the dynasty ends,

Those meat eaters will be extra crazy. At the end of the period, they are more greedy lying on the body of the dynasty and sucking the flesh, even if they see the internal organs, they don't care... They will grab the internal organs of the dynasty and chew them.

"It is the most foolish thing to count on humanity!"

Jia Pingan said: "Tell them, 50%!"

Only then did everyone realize what Xu Xiaoyu was doing earlier.

——At 50%, the Jia family began to sell their own cloth!

Jia Pingan raised his eyes, "There is always a group of people in this world who like to go fishing, and there is always a group of people who want to be above the world. They are like gods standing in the clouds, eating human flesh, and pretending to be gentlemen at the same time." , the more such people there are, the faster this dynasty will fall."

He picked up the book, "But I'll tell them I'm here!"

He lowered his head and continued to read.

The scholar in the book has arrived in Chang'an and is doing the writing.

He traveled to the prime minister's house, and saw singing and dancing as soon as he entered... It's all about wealth and honor!

What do you do for an official?

Get rich!

Be a master!

I should let those masters know that greed is the greatest original sin, no one can punish you in the past, today I will come!

I come!

There seemed to be flames burning in Jia Ping'an's eyes.

...

"Fifty done!"

Lu Shunzai lamented, "How dare he!"

"That lunatic!" Cui Chen turned pale, "He is not afraid that His Majesty will kill him!"

Wang Shun covered his forehead for the first time.

and!

Still don't follow!

Don't waste all your efforts.

Followed... cut in half!

For the first time he hesitated!

...

Jia's.

"Ma'am, fifty percent."

Du He said in pain: "Those cloths!"

Wei Wushuang said: "My husband said, if you don't bring money with you when you die, it's not a good thing to leave too much money for the children."

...

"Your Majesty, 50 percent!"

Dou Dexuan wants to die!

Li Zhi's face was livid.

Wu Mei sighed.

"Your Majesty, Shen Qiu is here."

Shen Qiu came in.

"Your Majesty, Jia's cloth is sold out at 50%."

This is a home that no expense was spared!

Li Zhi took a deep breath.

Shen Qiu continued: "Someone from Jia's family said it. Zhao Guogong said that the fate of the country is the fate of the family. If the country has no luck, the family will be displaced; if the country has luck, the family will be peaceful."

The emperor's body shook.

Wu Mei said: "Your Majesty, what is going on now is not a price reduction, but a fight between those people and Datang, a fight without blood!"

Li Zhi took a deep breath.

The Queen is watching him.

Dou Dexuan was looking at him.

Even Shen Qiu was looking at him boldly.

This is a fight without gunpowder.

The emperor said: "They want to tell me that if they can, they can make Tang Dynasty into chaos at any time, just like the former Sui Dynasty. This is a warning!"

There was more sarcasm in his eyes, "Wang Zhongliang."

"The servant is here!"

Wang Zhongliang only felt his blood boiling, so he couldn't help raising his voice.

The servant's sharp voice echoed in the hall.

"Transport all the cloth in the palace to Dongxi Market and tell Duke Zhao..."

...

"...Now it has reached 50%. People in the entire Chang'an City are rushing to the East and West Markets. The Jinwu Guards have dispatched an army to maintain order. Those merchants are even snapping up cloth nearby, saying they are going to make a fortune."

What Qian Er said was frothy.

Xiao Ling took a step back in disgust, "Princess, your husband is fighting with those people!"

Gao Yang was silent.

Under the cloudy sky, the yard seemed less alive.

"Auntie!"

Li Shuo hurried over, "Mother, they said that Ah Ye was fighting with those people!"

Even the people outside felt the murderous intent.

Gao Yang nodded.

Li Shuo said, "Aniang, is it possible for Aye to win?"

Gao Yang said: "We can definitely win."

She raised her eyes, "Qian Er."

"exist!"

Qian Er felt as if he was on the battlefield, with enemies in front of him.

Gao Yang said: "Send all the cloth in the house to Dongxi Market and let Xiao Jia dispose of it."

Qian Er said without hesitation: "Take orders!"

Xiao Ling leaned over, "Princess, at least keep some."

Gao Yang glanced at Li Shuo who was playing with Erchi in the yard, "I don't know why, I just know that if the Tang Dynasty is stable, my life will be easier. If the Tang Dynasty is stable, Xiao Jia's life will be easier. If so, who If you want to mess up Tang Dynasty, that is my enemy."

...

Xincheng is checking the cloth at home.

"Take them all to Dongxi Market and give them to Xiao Jia."

"Princess!" Zhang Tingxiang looked excited, "This is a once-in-a-century battle! It is said that Zhao Guogong is in Dongshi, and those people also found a restaurant in Dongshi. You come and go on both sides, killing people everywhere."

Huang Shu said: "If it fails, Zhao Guogong will be the chief culprit. Thousands of people will blame him...but he still doesn't retreat half a step!"

Xincheng stroked the cloth lightly, "He seems kind, but think carefully about his behavior since he entered Chang'an City. From the beginning to now, has he ever taken half a step back?!"

Zhang Tingxiang said: "It is said that Zhao Guogong is carrying the coffin into battle! Once defeated, His Majesty does not need to do anything, he will kill himself, good man!"

Xincheng glanced at him, "Go!"

Zhang Tingxiang agreed, and personally escorted the cart with people.

As soon as he went out, he saw a carriage, and the servant woman in front of the carriage shouted: "Butler Zhang is going out!"

The car curtain was lifted immediately, revealing Sun Zhen's fair and tender face. There was still some powder on his face, and he smiled slightly, feeling very tempted.

"Steward Zhang, is the princess free?"

Zhang Tingxiang shook his head, "The princess is not free."

He rode out with the convoy.

Someone asked: "Housekeeper, today you are a little indifferent to Sun Langjun."

Zhang Tingxiang said: "In the past, I thought this person had a good family background, and his handsomeness made even men fall in love with him, so I became more amiable. But after learning what Zhao Guogong did today, in my eyes, those handsome men are no different from the limestone on the wall. "

The entourage praised: "Yes! One is the pillar of the country, willing to carry the coffin into battle. The other is a rich and noble son, how can you compare?"

Outside the gate of the Princess Mansion, Sun Zhen said resentfully: "Zhang Tingxiang is becoming more and more domineering."

The servant girl said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's been more than a year, and the princess doesn't seem to care that much about you."

Annoyance appeared in Sun Zhen's eyes, and he lowered his voice and said, "It's just a widow. If it wasn't for wealth, why would I seek her?"

The servant woman sighed, "Princess, I'm afraid her heart is at rest."

"If she can come into contact with me face to face, my speech and behavior will naturally revive her."

Sun Zhen smiled slightly, the powder on his face rustled down, some fell on his chest, and some floated all the way to his feet.

He stepped forward and stomped the powder into the ground.

...

In the room of the restaurant, Cui Chen lowered his head slightly, unable to speak, "How... 50%... scary."

Lu Shunzai's face turned livid, "Five percent, hasn't Dou Dexuan strangled him yet? Why didn't the emperor move? This is digging his roots! The emperor should win Jia Ping'an, and then restore the price. Twenty percent, we and the emperor should be able to reach an agreement." There is a tacit agreement that all the loss of such cloth will be taken over by the common people, and we and the royal family will lose some, but it is not a big problem."

He looked at Wang Shun who was in deep thought, "My lord, please send a message."

Wang Shun shook his head, squinted at the window, and looked disappointed, "This is a change that hasn't happened in hundreds of years. Now...it's hard to retreat, but it's time to close the market soon, let's go!"

There seemed to be wildfire burning in his eyes, "Smash! Smash everything."

There is a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The door opens.

The entourage came in and said, "Princess Gaoyang and the convoy from the home of Princess Xincheng have arrived, bringing a lot of cloth."

"In addition." The attendant said: "The Jia family's cloth has just been sold at a low price of 50%."

Cui Chen said: "Jia Ping'an is so brave! Princess Gaoyang's side...the two have such a relationship, so they will naturally support it. But Xincheng's side unexpectedly joined."

Lu Shunzai said: "Princess Xincheng has a close relationship with Jia Ping'an."

Wang Shun said indifferently: "Their little cloth is nothing but a drop in the bucket."

"It's nothing to worry about!" Cui Chen nodded.

A follower appeared outside the door.

"A convoy is coming from the palace."

Wang Shun's face turned cold, "How big is the convoy?"

"I can't see the end at a glance..."

...

"Don't squeeze!"

The sergeants of the Jinwu Guard were yelling loudly.

The scene was like an army of hundreds of thousands of people fighting in chaos, so noisy that people wanted to explode in place.

Suddenly the sound became quieter, and then the sound became smaller and smaller...

silence!

It's just five breaths, which can be heard in the whole East City when a needle is dropped.

A servant came on horseback.

Behind him, carts followed slowly, on the carts...

"It's all silk and satin cloth!"

There are no boxes, and all the cloth is stacked on the cart, which is clear at a glance.

"It's cloth from the palace!"

Someone screamed.

"That's Wang Zhongliang, someone close to His Majesty."

The emperor has made a move!

When Wang Shun heard the sound, he rushed to the window, almost rudely pulled Lu Shunzai away, and leaned over to look.

Cui Chen asked, "What is it?"

Lu Shunzai didn't speak, his face was dull.

Wang Shun saw the convoy.

I also saw Wang Zhongliang.

"The emperor responded."

Wang Shun tightly grasped the window lattice with both hands.

Cui Chen asked, "Advance or retreat?"

The knuckles of the hands grasping the window lattice turned white, "Come in!"

Wang Shun turned around, his eyes became more serious, "He chose to support Jia Ping'an!"

...

"Your Majesty asked us to tell you."

Wang Zhongliang looked at Jia Pingan, "Let them hurt!"

Jia Pingan saw the long convoy.

Wang Zhongliang said in a low voice: "This is just the beginning. When you need it, you will know how determined His Majesty is. Just do what you can. When the sale here is over, the palace will send it over."

He said seriously: "We think this is a fight."

Jia Pingan nodded, "Yes."

"The market is closing!"

Someone is yelling.

Wang Zhongliang had a calm expression on his face, "Do you have something you want us to bring into the palace?"

Jia Pingan said: "Tell Your Majesty, they will be heartbroken."

"Quick, it's time to beat the drums!"

"Hurry up and get out!"

The Jinwu Guards began to drive those people away.

The people who bought the cheap goods were overjoyed, while those who didn't bought them looked sad.

Wang Zhongliang rode slowly, seeing the mess along the way, he couldn't help clicking his tongue, "It turned out to be so tragic."

Several men came out of the restaurant on the left.

"Wang Zhongguan." The accompanying Qianniuwei whispered, "Those three are the principals of the family in Chang'an."

Wang Zhongliang glanced at the three of them.

It just so happened that Wang Shun and the three of them looked over.

"It's Wang Zhongliang!"

Wang Shun smiled, but his smile was cold.

"It's just a dog!"

Lu Shunzai said softly, "It's not worth mentioning!"

Thinking of today's battle, Wang Zhongliang's blood surged for some reason, and he said sharply, "A group of villains!"

Wang Shun said coldly: "What does Wang Zhongguan mean by this?"

Even the emperor dare not say that, a servant is so bold!

As soon as Wang Zhongliang said that, he regretted it: How dare we offend the gentry.

He looked back and saw Jia Pingan who was walking.

In front of Zhao Guogong, we can't lose our momentum.

Wang Zhongliang sternly said: "Even the maids in the palace know to take care of the overall situation, but you are disregarding the overall situation. We are a servant, but we also know shame. Let me ask you, do you know shame?"

Swish!

The followers behind Wang Shun blushed.

But Wang Shun and the others did not respond, and were even more indifferent.

Jia Pingan came over, "In their eyes, there is only the family, and there is no world. Old Wang, you said so much, but it is a waste of time."

Fortunately, Zhao Guogong came to rescue, otherwise we would have to continue to fight hard for the sake of face.

Wang Zhongliang smiled and said, "So that's the case."

Wang Shun looked calm.

The gentry and the Guanlongmen faction have one thing in common, that is, they only have their own family and no country.

"It's good to do it for yourself."

Lu Shunzai nodded, and immediately got on his horse and left.

Bao Dong sighed, and Lei Hong asked, "What are you thinking?"

Bao Dong said: "The ancestor of the Lu family, Lu Zhi, is known as the last loyal minister of the Han Dynasty. I didn't expect his descendants to be like this. It shouldn't be!"

Lei Hong thought the same way, "When those scholars mention Fan Yang's Lu family, they will definitely mention Lu Zhi, saying that he is a virtuous minister."

Jia Pingan said: "There are no people who remain unchanged in the world, let alone a family. The achievements of the predecessors become the reliance of future generations, and then the family becomes larger and more powerful... What kindness?"

Lei Hong asked: "Did the Lu family take advantage of Lu Zhi's virtuous name?"

Realize it!

"When you go out, there is a sign of Lu Zhi's descendants. Everyone will take a high look, and then get mixed up with officials and half-jobs, and then join forces to find allies... Everyone praises each other and helps each other, and gradually it becomes what it is today. giant."

Jia Ping'an discovered that it has the same effect as traffic change.

"The gentry!"

The emperor in the palace looked at the secret report in his hand and said with a sneer, "They want the people to take over their own cloth."

Wu Mei became more enlightened, "They don't want the common people to study because they want to monopolize power and money, and secondly...the common people are ignorant so they can be deceived."

Wang Zhongliang is back.

"Your Majesty, those people are really shameless."

Li Zhi said indifferently: "If you have the face, you can stand for hundreds of years? If you have the face, you can earn such a huge family business? If you have the face, you can even rob people's money?"

Wu Mei said: "Ping'an once said that the emperor should stand on the cloud with a stick and watch, but when meat-eaters even want to grab the people's coffin money, they should be beaten to death."

Li Zhi said calmly: "I'm thinking about it!"
