Ji Lingxuan was full of remorse about the gambling contract, but Lin Feng didn't open any pot and mentioned which pot, deliberately adding fuel to the fire.

When you are depressed, you can't make any resistance.

At this moment, Zhang Yu took seven merchant tycoons and bowed down into the palace.

These seven giants have a lot of prestige in Mocheng and even Nanyan, and they are calling for wind and rain in the business world, and small and medium-sized businessmen dare not disrespect.

Today, Zhang Yu led the guards and personally went to the mansions of the giants to read the emperor's edict, which flattered the seven giants.

A giant dared to ask Zhang Yu for the reason, and learned that the emperor summoned seven people to the palace and was entrusted with an important task.

In an instant, the seven giants were ecstatic.

The seven people in the business community of Mocheng called for wind and rain, and responded to every call, how could they be businessmen after all.

After sitting on the gold and silver mountains, they tried to change their identities, hoping that their heirs could enter the court as officials and glorify the lintel.

At the beginning, Cai Guo was annexed by Yan State, which made the seven people invest in the imperial court.

When the Ji family made a comeback, they didn't believe in the Ji family, and secretly switched to the Three Kingdoms of Wu, Yue and Chu, hoping to change the family situation.

How could the heavens not fulfill people's wishes, the Ji family did not last long, and the Yan army once again led the male army to sweep through Cai State and occupy Southern Yan.

Unlike the Three Kingdoms of Wu, Yue and Chu, the Yan State had already swept through the north and seized the southern territory with ease.

They had not yet had a chance to get in touch with Emperor Yan, but Emperor Yan sent his cronies and generals to come and took the initiative to invite seven people into the palace.

This made the seven people ecstatic, if they could have a good relationship with Emperor Yan, the family would be just around the corner.

On the way to the palace in a hurry, an elderly giant said to the middle-aged businessman with fat head and big ears next to him: "Boss Zhu, the emperor invited me to enter the palace, this is a once-in-a-lifetime good thing, Boss Zhu entered the palace, you should pay attention to your words and deeds, and don't rush into the emperor, so as not to destroy my good deeds."

"Boss Han rest assured, which is more important, my Zhu is like a mirror!" Zhu Fugui bowed and said. Don't dare to refute.

Although the history of the seven businessmen is not clean, compared to the other six, when he Zhu Fugui rose, the methods he adopted were even more despicable, and in ordinary times, the other six businessmen looked down on Zhu Fugui at all and did not stay with him.

Today, going to the palace and meeting the saint is related to the rise and fall of the family, even if on weekdays, Zhu Fugui does what he wants and does not put anyone in his eyes, this time he goes to the palace, he does not dare to be presumptuous, so as not to cause the emperor to be unhappy and invite death.

What's more, there was news in the palace that Emperor Yan ordered the generals under his tent to mobilize a large amount of grain from Northern Yan to come to Mocheng, wanting to provide relief to the displaced people.

Emperor Yan summoned everyone to the palace, and they all felt that they might be reused by Emperor Yan.

Zhang Yu led the way and arrived in the imperial study.

Walking into the imperial study, the seven giants couldn't help but gasp when they saw the emperor sitting on the dragon chair and correcting the folds. Secretly worried.

It is rumored that Emperor Yan is decisive in killing, unkind, and not a gentle and kind king, when he sees it today, he is cold and solemn, and the rumors are true.

Moving to the center of the imperial study, the seven giants hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "The grass people knock to see the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Hearing this, Lin Feng didn't let the seven giant businessmen get up, but slapped his palms on the bookcase, and said coldly: "Can you be convicted?"

Can you be convicted?

The Son of Heaven is angry?

Things turned out to be the exact opposite. The seven giants bowed their heads in contemplation, secretly surprised, and knelt on the ground to guess the holy will.

The emperor ordered his cronies and generals to invite everyone into the palace, and did not hand over the grain transported from Yan to them for sale, and there must be other things.

At this moment, the emperor had not yet expressed his thoughts, on the contrary, he was extremely angry, and the seven giants were terrified, thinking for a moment, and could not guess the holy will.

Trembling and bowing to the ground, not daring to act rashly.

In silence, Zhu Fugui lowered his head and reported: "Your Majesty, we are all businessmen, and the grass people are stupid, what crimes have been committed, and the emperor is blunt."

Zhu Fugui believed that the emperor would not dare to kill innocents indiscriminately, especially the seven people were quite influential in Mocheng.

"Huh?"

Lin Feng snorted lightly, picked up the roster in the dragon case, and swept his cold eyes and said sharply; "Zhu Fugui, the owner of the Fugui Chamber of Commerce? Dealing in grain, business all over the south of the Yangtze River.

Secretly reselling salt, transporting and selling weapons, during the war, hoarding grain, raising the price of grain, when the people of Nanyan were poor and hungry, you had thousands of money, and you were rich! Nice, nice!"

Hearing this, Zhu Fugui heard the meaning of Lin Feng's words, and the beads of sweat fell coldly from his forehead to the marble floor, and he didn't dare to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead rashly, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the grass people don't dare to resell salt and smuggle weapons, and I hope that the emperor will see clearly and return the grass people to innocence."

"Okay, you Zhu Fugui, dare to bully the king!" Lin Feng slapped his palm on the desk and threw the roster in front of Zhu Fugui.

Zhu Fugui saw in the roster that he clearly recorded what he had done, and there were all kinds of things, and they were listed clearly one by one.

Call!

Zhu Fugui secretly gasped!

The emperor investigates himself?

Is this worth it?

In a panic, Cao Aman waved his hand to signal to the guards outside the imperial study, and the guards carried in a box full of refined salt from outside, and also carried bundles of weapons. Put it in front of Zhu Fugui.

The evidence is ironclad, Zhu Fugui does not dare to quibble.

The fat body was as cold as frost, and the whole body couldn't help but tremble slightly, and beads of sweat kept rolling down from the forehead.

Cao Aman looked at each other angrily and shouted: "Zhu Fugui, the evidence is conclusive, you still dare to quibble, believe it or not, I will split you alive?"

"Will... The general spares his life!"

Cao Aman's body is huge, and he is the most deterrent, and when he is angry, his whole body is full of majestic murderous energy.

Zhu Fugui felt the threat of death and hurriedly begged for mercy.

For fear of hesitation, he was killed on the spot by the fierce generals in front of him.

Inside the dragon chair, Lin Feng's expression was cold, and his eyes swept back and forth between the kneeling giants.

When he was young, he said sharply: "Zhu Fugui, no business, no treachery, for the rich is not benevolent, that is a robber to plunder wealth and fool the public, what you do, according to the law of Yan, it is not an exaggeration to die."

Witnessing the situation of the people outside the city, Lin Feng realized that the merchants of Nanyan must have someone to commit a traitor.

Sent Rhoda to investigate in detail, and there was indeed a cat in it.

It's no wonder that he had the idea of robbing his family, robbing the rich and helping the poor.

The wealth accumulated by businessmen like Zhu Fugui, who are not rich or benevolent, should be taken from the people and used for the people.

It is by no means a capital that he squandered and enjoyed.

At this moment, the ironclad evidence was like a mountain, Zhu Fugui did not dare to quibble, and kowtowed again and again: "The emperor, the emperor spares his life, the grass people should not be consumed by interests, and they are blinded by money.!"

Lin Feng ignored Zhu Fugui, swept the merchant kneeling on the ground with cold eyes, and said loudly: "Confess leniently, resist strictly, you are not clean businessmen, according to my previous character, you have already fallen to the ground?" According to Yan Law, you should also fall to the ground."

Zhu Fugui tried to deceive the king, how could the emperor investigate them thoroughly, and the giants who knelt on the ground trembled.

"Your Majesty, the grass people are obsessed with money, so they did things that hurt the heavens and reason, and I hope the emperor will be gracious." Some giant businessmen were afraid of angering Tianwei, so they shouted: "The grass people are willing to pay money to reward the three armies and solve problems for the emperor."

"Your Majesty, the grass people are willing to donate money and food, and ask the emperor to forgive the grass people!" Some giants are afraid that Lin Feng will raise the butcher's knife and take the initiative to give up the money.

Unexpectedly, Lin Feng asked coldly: "Did I say that I want to kill you, did I say that I want to plunder your wealth?"

Hearing this, the seven giants couldn't guess the secret relief, but they couldn't guess what the emperor meant.

When he was puzzled, he listened to the holy words: "After years of war, the people of Nanyan are not living, the city is seriously damaged, I am ready to build cities in various parts of Nanyan, and the people everywhere especially want to be requisitioned, and they need countless money and food.

I believe that you will share my worries and take the initiative to bear the money and food consumed, whether you plan to build houses and provide food and lodging for the people everywhere, or take the initiative to build the city wall, you think carefully."

The seven giants breathed a long sigh of relief, the emperor had a request, and they naturally didn't dare to push.

For them, it is not a problem that can be solved with money and food, but building a city is an unusual thing.

Spend countless money and food, if you undertake to build Mocheng, you will inevitably go bankrupt.

However, the emperor's intention is obvious, if they don't agree, they will set people's heads to the ground.

After being silent for a long time, Jujia surnamed Han explained: "It is the honor of the grass people to share their worries and solve problems for the emperor, how can the grass people have weak financial resources, and it may be difficult to build the city with the seven grass people's family resources, the grass people proposed, the imperial court issued an edict, and the grass people were willing to take the lead and convene the merchants of Nanyan to jointly fund the construction of the city."

If you are bankrupt because of the construction of the city, even if you are lucky enough to save your life, the gains outweigh the losses, why not share the money and grain, and the merchants from all over the country will jointly complete it.

Lin Feng's tone was slightly angry, and he shouted: "What do you do, I don't care, if you succeed in appeasing the displaced people from all over the world, and build a strong city by the way, I promise benefits, if someone cheats and cheats, cut corners, be careful and bury me in the city wall."

"The emperor is aware that the grass people dare not cut corners." Seven people said in unison.

At this time, Lin Feng's attention shifted to Luo Da, and he ordered: "Zhang Yu, draft the holy decree and call on merchants from all over the world to jointly build the city."

"Yes!" Zhang Yu bowed and said.

Immediately, Lin Feng ordered again: "Luo Da, select five hundred elite blades and use them to inspect the construction of cities in various places, if there are merchants who cut corners, or deduct the people's food and wages, they will be beheaded all over the house."

"Yes!" Rhoda holds his fist.

was knocked out by Lin Feng on the spot, and the businessmen present had words of suffering.

How can they not resist the identity of the Son of Heaven at all, and if they are a little careless, their lives will be in danger.

In desperation, the only way to save one's life is to destroy the wealth and eliminate the disaster.

Fortunately, the emperor promised to promise benefits, and the king did his best to complete the emperor's explanation, maybe the times will run.

The seven giants did not stay in the imperial study for a long time, and did not dare to stay for a long time, so they got the emperor's order and left in a hurry.

At this time, Ji Lingxuan looked at Lin Feng and said unhappily: "Your Majesty, it seems that Zhu Fugui is a rich and unkind businessman, and he should be killed without mercy, and he doesn't need his subordinates to appreciate it."

"The war is conquest, there are countless dead, and in the court, I don't want to raise the butcher's knife and take killing methods!" Lin Feng said coldly: "What's more, if I achieve my goal, the imperial court doesn't have to spend money and food, they appease the displaced people and build a city for me, so why should they shed a river of blood and cause panic in Mocheng and even Nanyan?"
