Ji Heng and the others did not stay in the lobby for long.

After all the merchants left, they went directly to the back hall.

Fusu returned to his main seat.

Ji Heng was the last.

However, no one in the audience dared to despise Ji Heng.

Zhang Cang took a sip of hot soup, only to feel light and tasteless, and put it on the case with disgust in his eyes, he looked at Ji Heng and said curiously: "Mr. Zhong, I have some questions in my heart, I want to ask Mr. Zhong to solve my doubts?" ”

Ji Heng said calmly: "But it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

Zhang Cang sat precariously and wondered: "I barely know what happened, but I'm curious, why did Mr. dare to make such a bold move?" Once something goes wrong, it will endanger the entire imperial court, isn't Mr. worried that it will backfire? ”

Fusu and Meng Yi also looked over.

Ji Heng lightly raised the soup bowl, took a sip, and said lightly: "It's man-made." ”

"Things are done by people, and if you don't dare to do it for fear of failure, won't you be even more cowardly and incompetent?"

"Again."

"Thirty-six strategies, attacking the heart first."

"Whether it is a businessman or an official, everyone is a human being, and if you are a human being, you have selfish intentions."

"Like Zhang Yushi, you like sweets."

"Merchants and officials also have preferences, they are greedy for money, but they cherish their lives, so a little targeting, once they endanger their lives, they will be panicked, panicked, and a little guidance, they will naturally be able to smoothly lead to the results they want."

"But not everybody gets fooled."

"People are different from people, so some people can stay calm, but this kind of people are destined to be a minority, when following the public, they are often coerced by the public, and in the end it is difficult to make a sound, and in such a strict place as the prison office, but also in the face of high-ranking officials in the court, even if they are aware, they do not dare to really say it."

"In the end, we can only watch it happen."

"I don't know."

"It's helpless."

"It's not just one person, it's the affected group."

"As long as someone is affected, the trade-off that represents the outcome has been shifted."

"Those who follow the trend win the world."

"However, the world is eventually forced by the contrarians."

"But how many people in the world can become contrarians?"

"Most of them are mediocre people who are used to following the crowd, and it is really difficult for some strong people to let these people think about the pros and cons on their own, and to weigh the pros and cons of the hidden worries."

"The one who calculates is a thousand people and a thousand faces."

"Hearts are different."

Hear the words.

Zhang Cang bowed slightly.

He vaguely understood Ji Heng's approach.

Ji Heng's starting point is always aimed at businessmen.

It's this group.

Not an isolated individual.

Coupled with the deliberate severance of contact, panic eventually occupied the majority, and when the prison officials put pressure again, they finally completely controlled the scene, and then reached the 'legislation' that Ji Heng wanted.

However, the law is set by the government.

Why do you have to do all this?

Zhang Cang asked: "The legislation is a decision of the imperial court, why do you have to tell the merchants?" ”

Ji Heng glanced at Zhang Cang a few times and said with a smile: "You big head, you are also confused by the authorities." ”

"Indeed, the law is made by the court."

"There is no need for a reason."

"However, the advent of relevant commercial laws and industrial laws will definitely cause an uproar in the local area, and it will also cause dissatisfaction among craftsmen and merchants."

"They are right to have emotions, but the court needs to provide a cathartic point."

"If the imperial court takes care of everything and takes care of everything in one hand, it will undoubtedly attract the resentment of all craftsmen and merchants, which is not a good thing for the Great Qin court.

"How can we drive all the craftsmen and merchants who have craftsmanship and money delivery channels to the opposite side?"

"Isn't this the fulfillment of the remnants of the Six Kingdoms?"

Zhang Cang smiled bitterly, arched his hand, and said, "It's Zhang Cang who is short." ”

Fusu said with a smile: "Mr. Zhong has always been comprehensive, and his thoughts are far-sighted, and I also admire this. ”

Meng Yi echoed.

Du He helped his beard, pondered for a moment, showed a sly look in his eyes, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid it's more than this." ”

"Most of the shipwrecks were deliberately done by businessmen, so Mr. Zhong, you pretended."

"On the grounds that the eldest son is generous and loves the people, he proposed to carry out strict and meticulous management of the merchants, in addition to finding an excuse for the establishment of a new law and letting the salt merchants and iron merchants bear the grievances of the world, and also wanted these merchants to have to completely fall to the imperial court.

Ji Heng glanced at Du He and nodded frankly.

Duch could see that he was not surprised.

The three princes and nine kings of Daqin, except for Meng Tian and Feng Zheng, can be regarded as having the convenience of the family, and when Lang Guan's term of office is over, he will directly ascend to the sky in one step, and most of the other officials have climbed up step by step, these people have been in the officialdom for many years, have deep experience, and have a vicious eye for things.

It's no surprise that there is this awareness.

It's just that these people are well versed in the way of being officials, and they won't show it easily.

Ji Heng smiled and said, "What Du Shaofu said is extremely true. ”

"At present, there is no turning back for the salt merchants and iron merchants in Guanzhong."

"Die."

"Either completely fall to the government."

"Even if the government leaves them a way to live, other businessmen can't tolerate them."

"The meaning of commercial law is not in the law itself."

"Rather, it is to officially include the merchants from a nomadic group in the past into the management of the government."

"No matter how big it is, the government can take the opportunity to knock it."

"In the past, businessmen relied on all kinds of back-the-land means, wantonly borrowed money, wantonly bought fields, relied on creating all kinds of turmoil, and sold low to make a windfall, and because of their lowly status, they were not valued by the world, which can be said to be a windfall for hundreds of years."

"But with the law, everything is different."

"In the past, it was possible to do it without prohibiting it."

"Now it's forbidden without authorization by law."

"Once you go back and forth, there is too little room for businessmen to make money."

"Salt merchants can only sell salt."

"Participating in lending money, buying and selling land, buying and selling people, etc., will be regarded as illegal."

"This is a sword hanging over the head of the merchant."

"A decapitating sword!"

"As soon as the law came out, the impact on the merchants was too great."

"The salt merchants and iron merchants in Guanzhong are also destined to be hated by the merchants of the world."

"For businessmen, taking people's money is like harming people's parents, and the introduction of government laws and regulations is caused by salt and iron merchants, and their fate can be imagined?"

Hear the words.

Fusu was thoughtful.

Du He nodded and said approvingly, "Mr. Zhong is thoughtful. ”

"Just put those businessmen back, just let them calm down, let them realize their current situation, in order to save their lives, they can only fall to the court, and if they want the court to shelter, there is no doubt to provide something that the court can see."

"And this thing is salt and iron!"

Duch withdrew his gaze.

He was also full of emotion in his heart.

This Mr. Zhong completely ate the businessman.

Eat to death.

It is clear that he forced Shang Jia to a dead end, but now he has become a big savior for Shang Jia?

Shang Jia clearly hated to death in his heart, but he could only force a smile on his face to thank him, this calculation of playing people between applause really made people feel palpitations.

Turn your hands into clouds, and turn your hands into rain.

That's it.

Fusu's face was slightly different, and after these words, he also understood.

It's just that this feeling is familiar.

He remembered that Ji Heng had said an example last time, sending someone to break the beggar's leg, and then going down to give the beggar a bowl, and the beggar was still grateful for this, and these two times, Ji Heng broke both of the Shangjia's legs, but this time he gave a pair of crutches.

The essence is the same twice.

Fusu glanced at Ji Heng deeply.

At first, he thought that this method was not applicable, but after seeing that Ji Heng had used it twice in succession, and the effect was surprisingly good, he was completely concerned about it, and secretly wrote down some details, and even Fusu himself didn't know why he was so concerned about this practice.

Ji Heng smiled and nodded.

That's exactly what he intended.

Shang Jia will not hand over the salt and iron without accident.

There are no conditions.

So create the conditions.

Offending Qin Ting is just a one-shot deal.

But offending all the businessmen of the world is the jealousy of generations.

He believed that the merchant could count them.

So far.

Everyone else understood.

are also clear about Ji Heng's overall plan.

From the very beginning, Ji Heng never thought that Shang Jia would take the initiative to hand over the salt and iron, nor did he think about letting Shang Jia hand it over through the trial.

Even if it is really judged in the future.

It's too late.

The imperial court can wait, but the local government can't wait.

You can only go to find another way.

Therefore, Ji Heng's eyes have always been on Shang Jia from beginning to end, but he deliberately hid it at the beginning, and the previous leaks and officials near Huai County were just deliberately creating smoke to confuse the public, in order to make Shang Jia feel uneasy, and then make Shang Jia start to panic.

His purpose was finally achieved.

Shang Jia was worried that the officials would leak it, and the government began to arrest people, which made Shang Jia more and more unable to sit still, and the more panicked he became, and finally fell into the designed trap step by step.

At the moment, Shang Jia is not even aware of this.

Zhang Cang took a deep breath.

He thought back to all the steps.

In the end, he shook his head helplessly, he thought that he would not be much better in the face of this situation.

Attack the heart, attack the heart.

Unless there is no weakness in the heart, it is destined to be trapped.

Even if you are aware of it, but under the deep panic of others, things will not change anything, and the more you are sober, the more painful you will feel, because you are powerless and helpless, you can only watch yourself fall into the abyss, and the feeling of powerlessness and helplessness is really depressing and suffocating.

Zhang Cang raised his head and looked at the masked man in front of him, his heart full of vigilance and vigilance.

It's a conspiracy for everyone.

Its vision is so wide and its gaze is so lofty that it makes people feel creepy.

Be with such a person for a lifetime.

I don't know if it's sad or if it's a blessing.

Lucky.

They are now in the same camp.

It's not an opposition.

Otherwise, it is really frightening to face such an opponent.

Ji Heng's eyes swept through the field calmly, and he could feel the change in the atmosphere in the field.

He just smiled faintly.
