When the morning glow dots the sky.

The sleeping Chang'an City gradually woke up from the darkness.

In the courtyard of the house in Jingzhao Mansion.

Xu Yi relaxed his body and mind and slowly practiced the eight vajra gongs.

Behind him, Zhao Shou, Old Man Wang, and the two brothers of the Wang family silently followed Xu Yi and slowly made a series of movements.

Smoke rose from the kitchen not far away.

Wang Qiujin held a wooden shovel in his hand and slowly turned the dishes in the pot.

Every now and then, a fresh scent will spill from the kitchen.

For a time, the courtyard of the entire Jingzhao Mansion was filled with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

In the quiet and peaceful, there is a trace of fireworks in the world.

Since the day before yesterday after the lamb in the basin.

Unconsciously, the relationship between the Wang family and Xu Yi was inexplicably closer.

And Xu Yi is naturally happy to enjoy this rare quiet and peaceful.

It didn't take a while. Error-free updates @

Wang Qiujin walked out of the kitchen with a breakfast that was not too rich.

"It's time for dinner." Wang Qiujin looked at the people in the courtyard and chuckled.

Xu Yi nodded slightly, and slowly put out the closing ceremony.

When I turned my head, I saw that there was a little guy behind me.

At this time, the little guy imitated the appearance of an adult, and made a closing ceremony with a serious face.

"Big brother, how am I doing? Right? Seeing Xu Yi, the little guy quickly broke through and looked at Xu Yi with an expectant face.

There is no timidity in the slightest.

Xu Yi looked at the little guy with a childlike face and nodded with a chuckle.

The little one was recognized, and instantly cheered.

Old Man Wang smiled and said, "Okay, Qiu'an, don't jump, it's time to eat." ”

As he spoke, he bowed slightly apologetically to Xu Yi.

Xu Yi looked at Wang Qiuan, who was six or seven years old, smiled and waved his hand, and said casually: "It's okay, it's good to be lively." ”

Compared with the panic when the Wang family was suddenly hit by a catastrophe a few days ago, Wang Qiuan at this time finally recovered a little bit of childish temperament.

When there is darkness in the heart, people always yearn for "light" in their hearts.

Xu Yi is naturally no exception.

......

After breakfast.

There is still some time left before the end of winter.

Xu Yi walked to the study.

Behind him, Zhao Shou and Wang Wenqing, the son of the royal family, followed silently.

Near the door of the study.

Zhao Shou turned around and pressed one hand on the hilt of the knife, as if he was a door god.

Xu Yi and Wang Wenqing walked into the study.

Inside the study.

Xu Yi sat upright on the Taishi chair, stretched out his finger and pointed to the front and said calmly, "Sit." ”

Wang Wenqing agreed, and then took a seat.

As soon as Fang sat down, he took out more than ten pieces of rice paper from his arms.

handed it to Xu Yi respectfully.

He said, "My lord, this is the approximate number of unsalable goods from various trading houses in the West Market. ”

Xu Yi took the rice paper, nodded slightly, and then slowly flipped through it.

Two days have passed since the second decree was received.

In the past two days, Xu Yi has been making preparations unhurriedly.

On the first day, the third class carried out a final purge of more than 20 commercial banks.

The grain, gold and silver were innumerable.

Yesterday, the first class of the third class was completely broken up by Xu Yi.

Since Xuanpingmen sent out of Chang'an City, its purpose is naturally to check the distribution of large and small forces in Beicheng in advance.

Xuanpingmen Li Er and others did not make trouble, which does not mean that Beicheng also can't make trouble.

This move is to prevent trouble before it happens, and secondly, Xu Yi is eyeing the families of those large and small forces.

After all, who is disgusted with more money?

What's more, there are too many places to spend money on this disaster relief.

In addition, Xu Yi even sent Wang Wenqing, Wang Wenlian and other people with good performance to Xishi.

Gather all the firms and stores to hold a large-scale ***.

Say yes.

In fact, it's just Xu Yihua.

Money buys things.

Of course, for the various commercial houses and stores in the West Market, this is tantamount to a win-win situation.

A moment later.

Xu Yi slowly put away the rice paper in his hand and said calmly: "The place is all arranged?" ”

Wang Wenqing nodded and replied, "Lord Hui, everything is arranged, at the Xishi Wharf." ”

Xu Yi nodded, and picked up a pen to write an official document.

After stamping the seal, he handed it to Wang Wenqing, and said calmly: "Today's order is canceled, and I will rush to the West Market immediately with the officials and officials." ”

Wang Wenqing got up and took the official document, bowed his hand and said, "Obey the order!" ”

After Wang Wenqing leaves.

Xu Yi leaned back on the Taishi chair, closed his eyes, and kept sorting out his thoughts in his mind.

First of all, the victims of the disaster in Beicheng must be moved!

This is not only because of Emperor Zhengde's holy decree, but also because the transfer of the victims was in Xu Yi's plan.

In the original plan, Xu Yi's idea was to use Xuanpingmen as a pilot first.

Small porridge sheds were built and a large number of thatched huts were built.

Divide the victims into districts.

After the initial results are achieved, the other victims in front of the city gate will be slowly moved outside the Xuanping Gate.

Now, it is nothing more than speeding up the process.

Whether it is the transfer of the victims or the resettlement, Xu Yi has already had a detailed plan in his mind.

Therefore, for Xu Yi, the transfer of the victims in Beicheng only needs to be done step by step.

This is also the fundamental reason why Xu Yi knows the deep meaning of Emperor Zhengde, but he prefers to act according to the surface meaning of Emperor Zhengde.

None of them.

There is no conflict between the two.

......

The bustling West Market Wharf in the past has been completely deserted due to the outbreak of drought.

The trading houses in the city could not get out.

The merchant lines outside the city could not enter.

Countless coolies have thus lost their breadwinners.

Even the West Market Commercial Bank has been greatly affected.

In the past year, countless people have closed the door, but few have opened the door.

Even some small Fengyue places have been greatly affected.

None of them.

Ordinary benefactors have no money......

Even if they have money, they will hoard food and other things that can survive.

Instead of spending a lot of time on wine or buying some useless goods.

The West Market Wharf, which has been deserted for half a year, is gradually becoming lively today for some reason.

It's just that this excitement is not the other's excitement.

Countless proprietors and shopkeepers came to the West Market Wharf before dawn.

In the past, the proprietors and shopkeepers who always smiled and greeted each other after meeting each other are now more sad than the other.

After acquaintances meet, they inevitably look at each other and smile, but it is just a bitter smile.

Just as the atmosphere at the West Market Wharf was gradually turning towards misery.

Wang Wenqing walked over with an official document in his hand and a large number of officials and officials.

In an instant, the entire West Market Wharf came to life in an instant.

"Wang Juren, what you said yesterday is true? Is Lord Kyung Zhao Yin really willing to buy our goods in large quantities? A businessman in the same neighborhood as Wang Wenqing rushed forward and asked loudly.

Pity.

Before he could get closer, he was blocked by two officials.

Wang Wenqing looked at the businessmen who showed off their might in the past.

There was an indescribable feeling in my heart for a while.

Seeing that most of the eyes are focused on themselves.

Wang Wen cleared his throat and said loudly: "Everyone, please be calm for a while, the adults will come over soon!" Is it true or not, and we'll see it soon when the adults arrive? ”

"Everyone, please follow the officials to enter the venue in an orderly manner!"

"After entering! Please be quiet, too! Otherwise, if I am expelled from the venue by official mission, don't blame me for not having a visual reminder! ”

The words fell.

Wang Wenqing turned around and walked towards the open space not far from the dock.

The vacant land that was originally used for temporary storage of goods was built at some point.

Below the platform, there are thousands of benches.

。

After the officials entered, the officials slowly guided countless business owners and shopkeepers into the venue.

No matter what time it is, seniority is always unavoidable. jj.br>

The same is true at the moment.

Large firms are at the front, medium-sized firms are in the middle, and small firms are at the back.

As for the scattered shops, they can only stand at the back.

It didn't take a while.

More than 3,000 people had gathered around the entire open space.

And there are countless scattered shops coming from all over Chang'an City.

On the occasion of the three poles of the day.

More than 5,000 people have gathered in the entire open space!

It can be seen that the business of Chang'an City is very developed.

Although there were more than 5,000 people, the strange thing was that the entire open space was unusually quiet.

Everyone was silently abiding by the rules set by Jingzhao Mansion.

Even if everyone had been in the room for an hour, no one dared to complain.

None of them.

Now the Jingzhao Mansion is in control of their lifeblood.

......

More than 5,000 people waited until more than half of noon.

Xu Yi walked slowly.

When Xu Yi ascended the high platform, he didn't need to beat the gong, and he had already attracted everyone's attention.

In an instant, the entire venue was quietly heard.

Xu Yi stretched out his hand to take the copper horn handed over by Wang Wenqing, but he was not in a hurry to say anything.

Instead, he slowly turned his gaze and deeply looked at the expressions of the more than 5,000 business house owners and shopkeepers in the audience.

A moment later.

Xu Yi raised the copper horn in his hand and said calmly: "Since the outbreak of the drought, goods outside the city can't come in, and goods inside the city can't get out. ”

"In less than a year, I don't know how many commercial banks and how many owners have fallen into this drought."

"The official is very worried."

The words fell.

There were bursts of suppressed sobbing from the high stage in an instant.

Some goods can be stacked for a long time, while others are time-sensitive. @*~~

In the current environment, it is impossible to get out of Chang'an City, and the people in Chang'an City are not enough to digest those goods.

In this case, what can you do except sell at a loss?

But what if you lose money and still can't sell it?

Then you can only sit back and watch it break down little by little.

In the past year, I don't know how many business owners have been forced to completely collapse, and even more have been forced to directly cut themselves off.

And what about goods that can be stored for a long time?

Chang'an City, as a capital master, how precious is its land?

Not to mention anything else, the cost of storage alone can already drive countless commercial houses crazy!

If you are really desperate, who wants to wait here before dawn in the cold wind?

If it weren't for the fact that he was desperate, who would be completely unable to control himself because of Xu Yi's big truth, hiding his face and crying.

Of course, it is unknown whether there is any drama in this.

"My lord! Please save our Ma family firm! A haggard, gray-haired man knelt down on the platform with tears in his eyes.

The skull constantly touched the ground.

After all, someone can't bear it.

In an instant, except for the front row of big commercial houses, the rest of them, without exception, all knelt down heavily in front of Xu Yi!

"My lord! Please save us! We...... We really can't hold on anymore~! ”

"My lord! My warehouse is full of three warehouses of wood, as long as you want...... To give...... Give a capital protection...... No! As long as you want! It's okay to give more or less! I...... I've already owed the guys three months' wages! Just...... I just want to be able to pay them off......"

"My lord! We are also victims of the disaster, please save our family, I ...... I've staked all my life savings into this shipment, and now I'm ...... Now I can't get out of the city....... Alas! I'm damned! I'm damned! ”

"Yes, sir.

, we really can't live anymore! There are more than 70 people in my family, young and old, all counting on these goods to make a living! ”

"My lord, because of this batch of goods, my family is about to die, please show mercy and save the little one."

The originally quiet venue was shattered in an instant.

Countless business owners and shopkeepers have started the miserable mode.

Everyone knows that Jingzhao Mansion will buy a large number of goods in the near future.

But no one knows how big this amount will be.

Don't forget, there are more than 5,000 trading houses here, if you don't want to stand out yourself at this time.

If it doesn't take your turn, you'll really have to cry at that time.

Xu Yi looked at the wailing business owner and shopkeeper below, except for calm, he was still calm.

If crying can solve the problem, then this catastrophe will be over long ago.

Xu Yi waved his hand slightly, and the two officials behind him quickly rang the gong in their hands.

It didn't take a while.

The venue was once again in order.

It's just that there are still faint sobs.

Xu Yi commanded calmly: "Bring some people to bandage them." ”

As soon as the words fell, even the servants walked towards the proprietors and shopkeepers of the trading houses below with medicine boxes in their hands.

How well prepared?

And this just shows that everything that happened today was expected by Xu Yi.

After the head of the bleeding person has been bandaged by the officials.

Xu Yi raised the copper horn in his hand again.

Loud voice: "This is a natural disaster! It's also a man-made disaster! Cry? Crying won't solve the problem! ”

"This official is not here today to listen to your complaints!"

"Just ask the people at the bottom of the entire Chang'an City! Who doesn't suffer? ”

"Just ask the victims outside Chang'an City! Who is not bitter? ”

As soon as these words came out, all the business owners present looked at each other.

This...... This is not what they expected!

Shouldn't it be to complain, cry a few times, and then Xu Yi pretend to appease a few words, and finally take the money from those houses to buy all the unsalable goods?

In the end, the firm got the money, and Xu Yi got the reputation? All happy?

Just when everyone's hearts are worried.

Xu Yi said loudly again: "This official will reiterate it one last time!" I am not here today to listen to your grievances! ”

"I know that some firms are really difficult! It's so hard that you can't pay your guys' wages! ”

"It's so hard to afford storage!"

"It's so difficult that you can only sell the backlog of goods in your hands at a loss, and what's more, if you can't sell them, you can only watch the goods break!"

"And some commercial houses use various means to hoard all kinds of goods at low prices!"

"After that! Through various means, the goods hoarded at low prices were sold to the government at high prices for disaster relief! ”

As soon as these words came out, at least more than half of the owners of the front row of commercial houses broke out in a cold sweat on their backs.

Xu Yi paused, his gaze coldly swept across the faces of the proprietors of the commercial houses in the front row.

makes people who already have ghosts in their hearts more and more afraid.

Xu Yi looked at the commercial houses in the front row, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and said: "The kind of commercial houses in the back, in the past few days, the official has cleaned up more than 20 of them!" ”

"But, this officer knows! And that's just part of it! There are also countless moths hiding in dark corners, nibbling on human blood steamed buns. ”

said.

Xu Yi slowly moved his gaze away and looked at the countless owners and shopkeepers of small and medium-sized commercial houses behind him.

He said loudly: "Everyone, you say, should this kind of trading house that eats human blood steamed buns be killed?" ”

As soon as the words fell.

The proprietor and shopkeeper of the rear trading house instantly aroused thousands of anger!

"Damn! Those merchants are not rich and unkind, and they should be cut down with a knife! ”

"Yes! They should be killed! If it weren't for them, the trade route would have been opened up a long time ago! ”

"Your Excellency is right! Those firms are moths! It's eating human blood steamed buns! ”

。 _o_m

"I beg your lord to order them to be killed!" To set the record straight! ”

No matter what the proprietors of small and medium-sized commercial houses think.

There is one thing that no one can avoid.

That's it--peers are enemies!

Xu Yi kills a few large commercial banks, and the market share will be vacated!

At this critical juncture, every 10% of the goods sold may be able to save the entire trading house.

Human nature is always selfish!

A thousand words finally converged into one word: "Kill!" ”

The gong sounded again.

Wait for the silence below.

Xu Yi smiled: "Since everyone said that they should be killed!" Then today, I will invite you to watch a "good show"! ”

said.

Xu Yi turned around and ordered, "Bring it up!" ”

"Obey!" A large number of officials shouted loudly.

It didn't take a while.

Dozens of proprietors and shopkeepers of commercial houses were escorted to the high platform by the officials!

Xu Yi looked at more than 20 commercial houses, and there was not the slightest fluctuation in the eyes of dozens of proprietors and shopkeepers.

Arm swing slightly.

Ordered: "Chop! ”

In an instant, dozens of officials raised their waist knives in their hands.

He swung it towards the necks of more than twenty merchants.

However, the waist knife in the hand of the official could not be cut in two.

This beheading lasted for half an hour.

Dozens of proprietors and shopkeepers died completely.

The hastily built platform has turned blood red!

There were also many blood stains, dripping down the gap in the high platform towards the ground below.

"Tick ......"

"Tick ......"

Every sound seemed to drop into the hearts of the proprietors and shopkeepers of the commercial houses present.

Every drop of blood was so clear and audible.

Be quiet.

Deathly quiet.

Whether it's a large comptoir in the front row.

Or small and medium-sized commercial houses located in the middle and rear.

Or there is nowhere to sit and you can only stand on the sidelines of the scattered shops.

They were originally shouting and shouting to kill, but at this moment, they stood in place as if they had been immobilized.

Motionless.

No one thought that Xu Yi would really kill him when he said kill!

The sharpness of doing things is unheard of and unseen by everyone!

Xu Yi waved his hand.

In an instant, dozens of officials picked up the severed head.

Neatly arranged on the edge of the raised platform...... Face down everyone!

Pale complexion, wide-eyed eyes.

Blood dripping slowly from the neck.

The blood-stained high platform, the expressionless Xu Yi!

A servant with a blood-dripping blade!

In an instant, no matter how big or small, there was only one feeling in the hearts of the proprietors and shopkeepers of all the firms.

That is, this place has changed from the world to hell.
