378 - royalists
"What did you hear? Why is it strange for you two to talk? Wang Xiaolai asked puzzled.
The little parrot just wanted to say, but Li Shuangyu glared at him: "You kid talk a lot, don't you!" β
The little parrot instantly lowered its head.
"Okay Shuangyu, don't train the little parrot first, what's going on?" Wang Xiaolai asked directly.
Li Shuangyu sighed: "Come on, if you really want to know, my lord, when we go back, I will tell you slowly." β
Wang Xiaolai pondered for a moment, and nodded.
Hurried back to the backyard of the Foxconn store before sitting down, before the tea came up, Wang Xiaolai couldn't wait to ask Li Shuangyu what was going on.
Li Shuangyu didn't answer positively at first, but asked Wang Xiaolai: "My lord, take a closer look today, what's wrong with this shop?" β
Wang Xiaolai looked left and right, but he didn't see anything, but the red incense next to him hammered his palm: "There seem to be a lot fewer people than usual." β
Li Shuangyu nodded: "It's still Sister Hongxiang's eyes." β
Wang Xiaolai frowned: "Shuangyu, what's the matter?" Hasn't business always been good in the shop, what's going on today? β
"My lord, it's not just that business is bad today, it's been like this since more than ten days ago." Li Shuangyu said.
Hearing Li Shuangyu say this, Wang Xiaolai stood up directly, with excitement in his expression.
But anything that has to do with silver, this guy can't keep calm.
"What the hell is going on?" Wang Xiaolai asked.
The hammer that started to eat as soon as he came was rarely clever, and he asked stupidly: "Is it related to the group of people we saw on the street just now?" β
As the so-called old dragon is lying on the beach, a word wakes up the dreamer.
Listening to the hammer's words, Wang Xiaolai turned his head recklessly and stared at Li Shuangyu closely.
Then, I saw the latter nodding helplessly: "Yes, not only our shops, but all the shops in Daxing City, whether they are opening inns, restaurants, selling silk cloth and grain, oil and vinegar jewelry, and so on, the business has become bleak." β
"It's all because of the gang we just saw on the street?" Wang Xiaolai asked with some uncertainty.
Li Shuangyu nodded: "Yes, that's right." β
At this moment, it was Wang Xiaolai's turn to be surprised: "What the hell is going on?" What is the origin of that group of people, dare to make such a fuss in Daxing City? Aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will slaughter them? β
Li Shuangyu waved his hand: "My lord, don't say it, those people are calling His Majesty's name, tell me, how can Your Majesty move a single hair of their hair?" β
"Shuangyu, you have made everything clear to me."
As soon as he heard Li Shuangyu say this, Wang Xiaolai's heart rose at that time, and he couldn't wait to ask.
Li Shuangyu sighed: "My lord, do you know what those people are about? β
Wang Xiaolai really didn't know, he could only shake his head honestly.
Li Shuangyu took a deep breath and slowly spit out a name.
"They are royalists."
Wang Xiaolai: "??? β
"What, what? Royalists? And what kind of party is this? Wang Xiaolai couldn't figure it out, he had the impression that when he just left Daxing City, there was no existence of this royalist.
Li Shuangyu sighed: "My lord, let me tell you the truth, this so-called royalist party is an organization that suddenly appeared the day after the coup d'Γ©tat in Daxingcheng. β
Iron Hammer suddenly slapped his head: "Eh, last time, when the adults didn't go to Echo Valley, the group of people who often came here to talk to us about the big reason were not royalists?" β
Wang Xiaolai looked back at the hammer, and then at Li Shuangyu: "What's the matter?" β
Li Shuangyu hurriedly explained: "Isn't that just after the coup d'Γ©tat?" You were in the palace all day, and then one day at noon, a group of young people who looked like scholars came to our shop, preaching what the Son of Heaven is respected, as the people of Suiyang, you should regard the king as a father and mother, and what kind of unconditional support for the Son of Heaven and so on. β
"That's all?" Wang Xiaolai asked.
Li Shuangyu nodded: "At that time, we all thought that those people were sick, and we didn't pay attention to them, so we drove them away." β
Wang Xiaolai asked again: "What about later?" β
"Later, didn't you leave Daxing City by order?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
"After you left Daxing City, within a day or two, on the battlefield of the Eastern Front, there was a rout of General Sun Polu, and then His Majesty named General Zhou Jinglian to take command, at that time, Daxing City first had an epidemic, and the people were panicked."
Wang Xiaolai motioned for Li Shuangyu to continue.
Li Shuangyu also nodded, and then said: "When there was an epidemic in Daxing City, His Majesty sent Langzhong in the palace to provide free medical treatment for all the people of Daxing City, and it was at that time that the royalist party gradually emerged. β
Seeing Wang Xiaolai looking at himself with a puzzled face, Li Shuangyu hurriedly explained: "At that time, the royalists claimed to be doing things for Your Majesty, they worked tirelessly, they didn't care about the epidemic, they were busy among the sick every day, and with their help, the epidemic in Daxing City was barely controlled. β
Wang Xiaolai said: "So, these people are still good people?" β
Li Shuangyu snorted: "Good person? Come on, my lord, these people are like this to the people, but they are not so kind to the merchants. β
Wang Xiaolai didn't understand: "What do you say?" β
"At the beginning, the people had a good impression of this royalist, but this was all an illusion, these people took advantage of the opportunity of the epidemic to grow themselves rapidly, and in just a few days, the royalist party rose from a few hundred to tens of thousands, and many people in Daxing City were members of them."
Wang Xiaolai was stunned: "So exaggerated? Why, Your Majesty doesn't care? β
Li Shuangyu only pouted: "Come on, how can Your Majesty be willing to take care of them?" β
Li Shuangyu's words once again made Wang Xiaolai and Zhanger puzzled.
Looking at Wang Xiaolai's puzzled expression, without waiting for Li Shuangyu to speak, the little parrot snatched the conversation: "My lord, let me tell you, these royalists have nothing else to do when they go to the streets every day, just to go door to door to find those merchants to ask for silver." β
Wang Xiaolai: "??? β
"They said that these silvers were all donated to His Majesty, donated to Sui Yang, used to defeat the traitorous party, and used to defeat Zhao Sui." The little parrot said with a dissatisfied face.
"They reached out and asked for it, and they gave it to them?" Wang Xiaolai asked tentatively.
Li Shuangyu snorted: "If you don't give it, if you don't give it, these people will sit at the door and not leave, they can nag you for a long time, and there is really no way to annoy you, so you have to pay for it." β
"How much?"
"There is no clear standard for this, you can give more or less, and they don't force it, as long as you pay for it."
Li Shuangyu said.
Wang Xiaolai suddenly realized, he made trouble for a long time, and his feelings are considered a fundraising organization?
"And what did they use all this money for?" Wang Xiaolai asked.
Li Shuangyu said: "In their words, they were all sent to the household department, and then the household department handed it over and went into the treasury. β
Wang Xiaolai asked again: "Are you sure?" β
Although Li Shuangyu said that his face was a little angry, he still nodded: "Although it is very annoying for these people to ask for silver, but a few days ago, some large chambers of commerce united and went to find their account books, as many as tens of thousands of taels, as little as a copper plate, all of which were sent to the household department without pulling it." β
After Li Shuangyu finished speaking, Wang Xiaolai nodded: "Oh, I understand." β
Li Shuangyu suddenly grabbed Wang Xiaolai's hand: "My lord, this is you, you have to do justice for the big guy, because these so-called royalists, in Daxing City, many shops and businesses cannot be done, and in the long run, they will lose money." β
Wang Xiaolai patted the back of Li Shuangyu's hand: "Don't worry, when I enter the palace to meet Your Majesty, I will definitely reflect this matter, it's true, snatching silver from my Wang Xiaolai's mouth, and turning them back." β
After receiving Wang Xiaolai's assurance, Li Shuangyu nodded with satisfaction.
There was nothing else to say that day, in the evening, after dinner with Li Shuangyu and the Lu family's father and son, Wang Xiaolai rested early, and the next morning the sky was just bright, and the palace was full of people.
When Father-in-law Le stood at the door with a smile and waited, Wang Xiaolai washed his face and came out, and followed Father-in-law Le into the carriage.
Along the way, the two also talked constantly, how to say that they are also old acquaintances, Wang Xiaolai from Father-in-law Le, but also inquired about the detailed news of Daxing City these days, of course, the necessary benefits, or did not forget to give.
