Chapter 697 Fighting the Economic War
"A group of soldiers surrounded them directly, while the little eunuchs and maids hid in the distance. Of course, there was also a little eunuch holding a mobile phone, but the picture on this mobile phone was a little different.
Originally, His Majesty the King wanted to record it, then make final adjustments and post it on Douyin.
But this little eunuch, in order to show the majesty of His Majesty the King, broadcast live directly!
At this time, this live broadcast room already had more than one million people, and it was even continuing to climb.
"Hahaha, what kind of country is this? It's so funny? Can't even suppress your own country?"
"It's kind of funny, look at that king, he was still high-spirited, but now he just sat on the ground!"
"Hey, a small country is a small country, no matter whether it's the king or the ministers, they can't get on the stage!"
In the live broadcast room, bullet screens appeared one after another, and everyone was laughing at the king. After all, this guy, as a king, is the highest person in this country. Now facing this situation, he is so cowardly, it is indeed a bit rubbish.
According to their understanding, in a powerful country, whether it is military power or other rights, it should be in the hands of one person, but this king is lucky, his military power is in the hands of others, it is a bit shameful to die!
"I hope the auditor will arrive soon, otherwise this country may be gone!"
"You are really wrong in saying that. It doesn't matter if there is such a king."
"Yeah, he is a wiser person, and he may do better than him!"
"Well, I checked just now. This country is called Goguryeo, and they are a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty!"
"Wucao, Datang is so awesome, yet there are vassal countries?"
"Then what do you think, there are many more. I heard that Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty was called Tian Khan by these people, which means the highest person!"
"hiss!!"
Datang, Li Shimin looked at the screen on the phone and frowned slightly. Although he liked the compliments from these people, the king's performance was indeed a bit unbearable.
Of course, he knew that the military power of the kings of these countries was separated, because this would have a check and balance effect, but what he didn't expect was that this guy would dare to fight these people when he didn't have all the military power in his hands. The minister's family is against you, isn't this courting death?
"Hey, what a shame!"
After a while, Li Shimin sighed, not knowing whether to be happy or helpless.
At the very least, his own reputation has started again, but in the same way, Goguryeo is his own country after all, and the king has such a virtue. Doesn't this mean that he has no knowledge of people?
But what he can still accept is that at least the king didn't kneel on the ground and beg for mercy. This is already the best result.
"Your Majesty, now that the entire Tang Dynasty has stabilized, even some discordant voices from the people have been suppressed, but..."
At this time, Xiao Dezi came in and reported, but his face was a little hesitant.
"what else?"
Li Shimin looked up at him and frowned. He was very pleased with the result. Looking at his own country, he suppressed those rebels directly, but he was looking at other countries.
This is the gap!
He was even thinking about whether he should also start a live broadcast to broadcast Datang to suppress those rebels.
"However. Although some aristocratic families did not have riots, their prices are too high. That is to say, they used to cost one penny for a big cake, but now it has reached five pennies, and it is even increasing. If this continues, I am afraid something will happen. !"
"As for the price of salt, that is ridiculously high!"
Xiao Dezi looked worried. He knew that these things have been necessary for all the people in Guangxi for many years, but now, all the prices have been increased. If it is a little bit, it is fine, but if it increases so much, something will happen!
Because, in this era, productivity is not high, so these things are commendable!
"What?"
Hearing this, Li Shimin was shocked. If it was just the aristocratic family and the gentry rebelling, he would not be afraid at all, because he has military power, and any force would be fearless, but economic warfare would be a bit troublesome!
Don't think that a court will have a lot of money, because a court manages the entire Tang Dynasty, and every place needs money, so there is not much money in the court's treasury!
On the contrary, those aristocratic families have more money!
For example, the so-called Five Surnames and Seven Hopes!
These families have been born since ancient times, and even now they are even stronger. To put it bluntly, there are many people in the world who honor the daughter of the Qiwang family with five surnames !
From here, we can see how powerful this family with five surnames and seven Wangs is.
After all, no one said that it is an honor to marry a princess!
It is no exaggeration to be as rich as an enemy! Li Shimin didn't expect that those damned people would start economically. Although he doesn't know what an economic war looks like, it doesn't mean he doesn't know how serious the consequences will be if everything starts to increase in price!
"Call all the ministers and discuss it!"
After pondering for a moment, Li Shimin said with a livid face.
At this time, although there were no riots in the entire Tang Dynasty, the gap was actually not too big.
Because all prices have started to rise, this has caused many people to worry.
Every commoner began to rush to tell each other, people were panicked, and even various songs appeared in the streets and alleys.
The people who sang these songs are all children, and the soldiers have no way to arrest them, because they are just ignorant children, do you care about them?
But if you don't care about it, those children's songs are the most frightening things!
"Let's hurry up and buy something, everything is starting to go up in price now!"
"Yes, the price of salt used to be 300 Wen per catty, but now it's 700 Wen per catty. If it continues, we may not be able to afford it anymore!"
"Although there is Taobao in the Three Realms, there is nothing to say about the things on it, the high-quality goods are high-quality goods, but also, those things are too expensive, and it is no problem to use them for a short time, but if they are used for a long time, we can't bear them at all. ah!"
Many people started to buy things, and the result is self-evident!
As a result, another price increase!
At this moment, everyone panicked, what the hell, is it possible to increase the price without limit?
