Chapter 156: Auction Shop
But before this plan could be put into action, the Governor's Palace was aware of it!
Immediately, the 'Red Turban Army' wantonly arrested people, and overnight, more than 20 large families with heads and faces in Puhua became prisoners. More than a dozen rebel commanders who had escaped from Mahamat were captured.
Even many interested rich families have also been implicated.
The arrest was so fast that he didn't even react. The men who had been ambushed before were also taken into prison.
At this time, Pu Hua no longer had any strength to dare to compete with the Governor's Palace.
As the mastermind, Arp still has a bit of luck. That is, the governor's palace headed by Li Chengji, which would hinder the existence of the Western Karakhanid and would not dare to do anything against it. After all these days, there has been no additional action on the Governor's Palace. He was even more sure that Li Chengji would not dare to disadvantage himself.
Then I put my mind at ease, eat what I should eat, drink what I should drink, and play what I should play.
But where to know! It's not that retribution has not arrived, but that the time has not come.
Today, the 'Red Turban Army' came to the door with great momentum, and finally a catastrophe is coming.
Like a drowning man, desperately grasping at the last straw, shouting: "I am the governor of the Khan, I want to see Li Chengji!" I want to see Lee Seung-ji! ”。
Rabi Lasi immediately snorted coldly! The subordinate next to him immediately slapped Alp without saying anything. Caught off guard, Alp staggered a few steps before he could stand on his feet. He covered the right half of his face and exclaimed, "You dare to hit me?!" ”。
He grew up in the emperor's house since he was a child! Although he is not favored, others are not respectful to him. Even the important officials of the court who controlled the authority of the Khanate did not dare to attack him. But today, a reckless man who jumped out of nowhere. But he didn't know how thick the sky was, and slapped him.
This experience made him feel like he was in a dream. If it weren't for the burning pain on his face, he really didn't believe it.
Because he has been in a high position for a long time, the momentum of this superior person also burst out with full of anger. It made the red turban army who did it a little timidly and froze.
Rabi Lasi looked at it and stepped forward to slap him again. The crisp crackling sound simply resounded in Alp's heart. The momentum that was originally inspired by anger disappeared immediately. Rabi Lasi did not stop, but spat at Arp and said disdainfully: "You are an ant for us!" Today, I'm afraid I didn't expect it to fall into the hands of our ants, right? ”。
There was still a hint of hatred in his tone. The surrounding Red Turban Army listened, and they were all unceremoniously. One after another, they slapped, punched, and kicked a few times, venting the anger in their hearts.
It is also in these years that Puhua City's harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes have simply overwhelmed people. The days of the rising and fighting of the small people have also become more and more bitter. As a result, many people have to sell themselves into slavery.
As one of the initiators, this Alp was naturally hated by the common people. Although the taxes were levied, it was the Burhan family, headed by Sadr Jahan. But in the name of the Western Qarakhanid.
As the governor of the Western Qarakhanid State to Puhua, Arp naturally had nothing to do with it.
Seeing that it was almost over, Rabi Lasi hurried to tell them to stop. lest Arp be punished in vain without being beaten.
So under the 'care' of everyone, Alp, who had a blue nose and swollen face and was full of embarrassment, was taken out of the governor's palace.
This scene soon reached the ears of those who had a heart. One by one, they were flustered and didn't know how to deal with themselves.
A few days later, the Puhua Governor's Mansion was seized by the 'Red Turban Army'. All those close to him were imprisoned, and all his subordinates were dismissed. All valuable items in it were confiscated.
The Puhua Governor's Palace, which was once in full swing, has become history.
However, this incident did not cause much repercussions in Puhua!
Perhaps it is because in recent times, there have been too many seizures of homes in Puhua City. so that a pair of hands cannot be counted. The ordinary people who have always liked to watch the excitement have gradually become accustomed to it.
However, Puhua's few remaining rich families became even more flustered. Because during this time, the unlucky ones are all rich and powerful families like them. So they were afraid, and one day the Governor's Mansion took a fancy to their property. So as to find a reason to steal money at will.
Immediately, there were people who were highly conscious, and they took the initiative to burn the deeds of sale of the domestic slaves, report the missing land, and pay all kinds of taxes that were in arrears in the past. Along with this momentum, other wealthy families followed suit.
This makes the Governor's Palace an extra amount of money.
But what made Li Chengji even happier was that the slavery matter, which originally cost a lot of money to complete, became extremely smooth. The division of the land has also become smooth sailing because of their cooperation.
The treasury of the governor's palace was filled with gold and silver and other valuables. So that in the end, the grain depots were vacated.
As a token of appreciation, Lee Seung-ji personally held a banquet at the Sadr Palace to entertain various prominent figures in Puhua City. Since entering the Sadr Palace, this is the first time that Lee Seungji has held a banquet. The meaning is self-evident.
So all the guests who were invited came. And one by one with congratulatory gifts, with a smile on their faces.
Lee Seung-ji observed from the heights of the Sadr Palace, and his face was very satisfied. His purpose this time is twofold: one is to get closer to each other and give them a reassurance. The second is to use their relationship to resume business contacts between all parties as soon as possible, so that Puhua City can be restored to the pre-war level.
In the end, he is an outsider, and he can't compare to these locals who have been rooted in Puhua for many years. Even at the moment, he has the ability to eradicate these people. But for Pu Hua, this is tantamount to killing chickens and taking eggs.
Because businessmen are the most profit-seeking and avoiding disadvantage!
If he had done so, the merchants passing by would have tried their best to avoid it. In this time, for example, the only shop that Puhua still opened was confiscated from Sadr Jahan.
All kinds of daily necessities are also decreasing.
If it can't be obtained from the outside world, then Pu Hua will be in trouble.
After all, the necessities of life are the foundation of people's survival. If they can't be satisfied, they can't be blamed for resisting.
Therefore, in order to make Puhua stable for a long time, we must rely on them at present.
At the banquet, the shops in some prosperous areas in Puhua City were put up for auction. This is also to give them a little sweetness, so that they can work harder for themselves.
However, this novel way of selling made the atmosphere at the banquet extremely hot.
I saw a group of guests, one after another, raising signs to bid prices.
"Ten thousand dinars!"
"One million dinars!"
"Fifteen thousand dinars!"
"19,000 dinars!" ,
After a wealthy Sogdian merchant shouted 19,000 dinars, the outcry on the field was overwhelming. Rose, who was in charge of the auction, immediately smiled and said, "Good! The shopkeeper of the Ujirab Bank paid 19,000 dinars! Is there still a price increase? ”。.
