Chapter 215: How dare they
If something happened in Yunzhou, not only the merchants were damaged, but more importantly, the face of the imperial court could not be hung up.
Xiao Jiuqi just didn't want to bother with these things, but that didn't mean he didn't understand anything.
When he returned home after being scolded from the palace again, after reading Fu Yuanling's letter to him, he came directly to this side.
He rode a horse, naturally faster than Fu Yuanling's car, and he arrived before she finished speaking.
"What you say is true?" Xiao Jiuqi's face was stinky, as if someone owed him overnight silver.
Fu Yuanling is currently in a big deal, of course, he doesn't care about more important things than his attitude, if Xiao Jiuqi can maneuver around and get the support of the imperial court, then they will be able to stabilize in Yunzhou.
Moreover, with their news transmitted to the imperial court, it can be contained when the situation is not serious, and the imperial court can also recover a lot of losses.
"As soon as the harbor opened, the local merchants in Yunzhou established a business alliance, which drove out non-Yunzhou merchants internally and wanted to monopolize all merchant ships externally. According to the current news from the Fu family, there should be court officials who collude with them to act in cahoots, so that they can be concealed and bullied. The people and merchants of Yunzhou only thought that it was the decree of the imperial court, but they did not know that the officials were sent to collude with the local merchants. ”
Xiao Jiuqi was about to explode, his face was dark, and his chest was beating violently.
He was a gentleman, but he also knew the suffering of the people. Usually he has a bad temperament, and he has never been angry with the people.
Qiao Anyi's face was also quite ugly, and he said sharply, "The strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, they are relying on their deep roots and leafy leaves, and they want to be dominant." This appetite is too big, and I'm not afraid of dying? ”
Fu Yuanling sneered, "What is this, there is anything more powerful than this." ”
The news of the Fu family was the fastest, and Qiao Anyi and Xiao Jiuqi looked at her when they heard the news.
Fu Yuanling didn't know the inside story of this shipping in her dream, after all, after returning to Daobo's Mansion, she didn't have the idea of expanding the Fu family's business, and she didn't participate in this shipping, so she only knew that there were a lot of things going on this time, but she didn't know how.
It's just that she didn't expect things to be much more serious than she thought.
"According to the reliable information I have received, one tael of gold for ten taels of silver in Fusang, one tael of gold for twelve taels of silver in the Hongmaoyi people, and one tael of gold for six taels of silver in our Daqian."
Xiao Jiuqi is not a businessman at all, he couldn't understand it for a while, but looking at Qiao Anyi's face was extremely ugly, he knew that it was not a good thing, so he looked at Fu Yuanling.
Fu Yuanling explained to him carefully, "There are not many silver mines in Daqian, so silver is very valuable, and one tael of gold can replace six taels of silver." However, whether it is Fusang, it is still a Hongmaoyi people, or other overseas countries have a high silver production. If silver from other countries is brought in in to exchange for our gold, and a large amount of silver goes into the Great Dry Dry River, although the suffering of the shortage of silver in the Great Dry will be relieved, this abnormal arbitrage will cause a sharp increase in silver in a short period of time, and then the price of the Great Dry will inflate extremely badly. At the same time, gold will also be taken away in large quantities, is that clear? ”
Xiao Jiuqi punched the table, and the thick mahogany table instantly split into several pieces and collapsed to the ground, "How dare they?" ”
What is this for?
Want to hollow out the imperial court?
"There is nothing to dare to, businessmen chase profit, officials chase power, once money and power are integrated, the consequences are difficult to predict." Fu Yuanling frowned and remembered the things in the dream, and that uncomfortable feeling came back again.
In order to compete for the throne, the third prince did use her Fu family's connections to connect with several large merchants.
It's a pity that she was trapped in the back house at that time, and these things were only known about later near death.
