In Chinese cultural thought, there has always been a saying that people are the people, and the rulers of all dynasties, whether they are sincere or false, have always been on their lips to put the people first! Now that the price of salt has dropped sharply, it is naturally beneficial to ordinary people, so this scholar felt that he had the upper hand, so he sat down proudly!

But one of the men on the other side stood up with a folding fan in his hand and said, "This brother is a little biased! You must know that there are so many people related to the salt industry in the world, and it is estimated that there are hundreds of thousands of people! If you count the people who sell illicit salt, I'm afraid there are more than a million people! Brother Tai said that being able to eat salt is a good thing for the people, but the low price of salt is not a good thing for those who are engaged in the salt industry! Those who make a living by selling salt have already hoarded a large amount of salt, and have to pay the taxes of the imperial court, and also have to pay all kinds of manual transportation costs, and now the price of salt has suddenly dropped, but you can consider the way of life of these people! And according to this brother's statement, those who eat salt are the people, and those who sell silver are not the people? Isn't it against the way of the saints that they went bankrupt because of the sharp drop in the price of salt, and had to sell their houses and land, and even sell their sons and daughters? Moreover, these tens of millions of people have lost their livelihoods, if they are bewitched by evil people again, how much chaos will they have to make? Therefore, Wu Ninghou should not come up with a new method of salt production, which is equivalent to cutting off the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people!"

When the scholars around him heard this, they applauded, and they all crusaded against Liu Haojia and came up with some miraculous skills, Yin Qiao, who only cared about their own profits, regardless of the lives of the people! There is no order to do things, completely ignoring the actual situation of the imperial court!

When this scholar said this, it resonated among many scholars! In their minds, how could this be the material for governing the country? Let them meddle in the government affairs, and they will definitely make a mess of the court!

At this time, Lu Tianhua got up again and said, "Now the cause of the matter is the new salt-making method used by Wu Ninghou! He relied on this method to make huge profits! Although this kind of miraculous skill Yin Qiao is beneficial to him personally, it is really not good for the imperial court! As the brother just said, he used this new method to greatly increase the production of salt, but what about the people who used to be engaged in salt production and trafficking? Do they deserve to die? If you can't figure this out, let's give another example! Suppose someone invented a loom that weaves cloth quickly and well, and someone makes a large number of such looms to make a profit, what about the women who work at home in the world? Is there another means of livelihood missing to fill the family's needs?"

At this time, these scholars had already been dizzy from debating with each other, so they were involuntarily guided by Lu Tianhua. And in ancient times, it has always been advocated that men plough and women weave, so weaving is basically the minimum craft for every woman!

To put it bluntly, as far as the people at the bottom are concerned, the reason why they can survive under their meager income is because they rely on a completely small-scale peasant economy! That is, they are self-sufficient in their own small area. So they are seriously incapable of resisting external shocks!

The scholars imagined that the women in every family had been impacted and could not make money, especially many families in the south of the Yangtze River who completely relied on weaving cloth for a living.

The words they associate with are all words such as mourning all over the wilderness, eating with easy children, rising from the pole, exposing white bones in the wild, and no rooster crowing for thousands of miles!

Just when the scholars were letting their imaginations fly, Lu Tianhua stood up and said loudly, "Everyone, have you found that Wu Ninghou's hand and many female businessmen are a routine? They produce a lot of goods, and then hit the whole market at very low prices, even at a loss! After they defeat all their competitors, he will be the only one in the market! When the time comes, he can sell as much as he wants to sell the goods in his hands, so that the money they lost in the early stage can be made up in the later stage! Now Wuning is waiting to hit the market with low-priced salt, and all businesses that sell salt will go out of business because of the high cost! At that time, the salt price of the entire Ming Dynasty will be determined by him alone! Not to mention a pound of salt, even a pound of salt can be sold for a pound of salt!"

When everyone heard this, they were in an uproar, and they all started talking with the people around them! As a result, the two sides communicated and found that there were indeed many such examples on the market, which made them even more worried about the price of salt

Rather wait for the consequences of control!

So under the gradual guidance of Lu Tianhua and others, the topic slowly turned into accusations against Liu Haojia, and even the rhetoric became more and more intense, and slowly rose to the level of personal attacks! And as the atmosphere in the teahouse became more and more enthusiastic, some people kept throwing out Liu Haojia's "black material", and even these young people were even more indignant, and they couldn't wait to point at Liu Haojia's nose and scold them immediately!

Just when the atmosphere was at its climax, someone suddenly raised his arms and shouted, "Go to Wu Ninghou and let him abolish the new salt-making law for the sake of the people of the world!" We can't let this kind of miraculous skill affect the imperial court's governance of the world!"

These scholars are already young, and it is the time of enthusiasm, and they only want to offer advice to the court, govern the world well, and vow to fight the evil forces to the end! At the same time, the scholars of the Ming Dynasty still have the habit of discussing government affairs, and they gather at every turn to coerce Shangguan and the like!

So they even dare to impact serious civil officials, not to mention that a fortunate Wu Ninghou naturally doesn't care! At this time, these scholars had already been fluctuating because of the debate, and now someone raised their arms and shouted, naturally followed the loud answer, and decided to go to Wu Ninghou together, so that he could know what the truth of governing the country was!

Everyone was already on the top at this time, and there were still people in the crowd who were secretly poking and prodding, so immediately a group of scholars walked out quickly and righteously!

And I don't know when there are already many scholars gathered there to talk around the Difu Building. If someone inquires in detail, they will find that many scholars have been invited here by friends! As a result, when the people had just gathered and were polite, they saw a large number of scholars pouring out of the building, and they naturally wanted to surround them to find out!

As a result, some of the people who came made their purpose clear in a few words, saying that they were going to Wu Ninghou to ask for an explanation, and they couldn't let him manipulate the price of salt and cause trouble in the world! This was immediately approved by many scholars, and even joined the team directly in enthusiasm, shouting slogans and going straight to Gu Ning Houfu! All the people in Jingshi know that Wu Ninghou did not live in the Wuning Hou Mansion when he returned to the Beijing Division, but lived in his father's Gu Ning Hou Mansion!
