"Hahaha, the effect of the strike is even better than I imagined!"

In the Dali Temple, Huang Zicheng was in a very good mood.

Qi Tai has just come and brought news from the market.

At present, not only the merchants of Jinling City, Yangzhou, Suzhou and other places are also eager to try, planning to boycott the market and force the imperial court to stop raising commercial taxes.

"Although this son has a talent for poetry, how can a child like him simply deal with governing the country?"

Qi Tai smiled: "On the contrary, mundane affairs are the most difficult to handle, I think he is still good at writing poems, or he can use this to pass on through the ages." ”

Huang Zicheng also nodded slightly.

He has no objection to Zhu Yunxi's poetic talent.

After all, it is very rare for a seven-year-old child to be able to write "talented people from all generations of the country, each leading the way for hundreds of years".

Not to mention that there are quatrains such as "the most can't stay in the world, Zhu Yan remarks the mirror and the tree", and there are also shocking impromptu words of "rolling the Yangtze River East passing away".

Even Fang Xiaoru could only bow down, and of course he Huang Zicheng didn't dare to question it.

Cao Zijian made a poem in seven steps, and recited it for thousands of years.

Zhu Yunxi is also not bad at all, he writes with a pen, improvises into poetry, and has long been famous all over the world.

But the name of the poem belongs to the name of the poem, and the governance of the country belongs to the governance of the country.

Huang Zicheng doesn't believe that a seven-year-old baby can manage political affairs well.

You see, just after taking office, a merchant strikes the market, so he can't step down.

"Your Majesty miscalculated this time. If he doesn't take charge of Ying Tianfu, we really don't have any good ideas, but if he comes to take charge of Ying Tianfu, we will have a way. ”

Huang Zicheng said with a smile: "He proposed to increase the commercial tax, and those nobles were extremely dissatisfied. ”

"The matter of this strike can go so smoothly, and it is indispensable for the cooperation of those nobles."

Zitai nodded.

Merchants are just "minions" charging ahead.

Without the support of the nobles, and borrowing a hundred dares from those merchants, they would not dare to strike the market collectively.

Now that the general trend has been achieved, it is difficult for Zhu Yunxi to ride a tiger.

If he ordered no more commercial taxes to be levied at this time, it would prove that he had made a mistake in his previous letter to increase the commercial tax.

Then he is not qualified, he will be the prince and become the successor of the Ming Dynasty.

On the contrary, if he does not regress now, the merchants in Jinling will not resume the market, and the merchants in Suzhou and Yangzhou will follow up and strike the market

The entire Daming Jiangnan is going to be a mess.

Is he up to the task?

"I'll add another fire and write about the situation of the court."

Qi Tai nodded and said, "Don't worry, this matter is already being done." According to the information from the Department of General Affairs, 271 officials have already submitted letters in one day today. ”

Huang Zicheng was overjoyed, clapped his hands and said, "Okay! ”

As soon as the words fell, someone outside hurriedly walked in.

"Two adults, it's not good, the merchants of Jinling City have resumed the market."

"What?"

Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng were both shocked.

"How is that possible?"

Both were incredulous.

How could a strike on such a scale suddenly stop and reopen?

"It's true, and the market has indeed resumed."

The man took out a piece of paper from which the notice had been copied.

"There was a notice from Tianfu, and it was posted by someone from Jinyiwei."

He presented the paper.

Huang Zicheng snatched the paper, swept his gaze, and his pupils suddenly dilated.

His hands slowly softened, and his body collapsed into the chair, his spirit already languishing.

Seeing this, Qi Tai took the paper and quickly glanced at it, and his expression changed.

"Tall! He came up with such a strategy to draw salaries, no wonder those merchants would resume the market. ”

"We worked hard to plan a game, but it was empty after all."

……

The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.

Zhao Mian, the secretary of the household department, and Yang Jing, the secretary of the criminal department, stood respectfully below.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the top, his face was very ugly.

On the table, there is a mountain of music.

"Okay, these profiteers, they dare to strike the market?"

When Lao Zhu spoke, he was already murderous.

He was born from a grass people, and with a bowl, he laid down the entire Ming Dynasty.

What storms haven't you seen?

What is the point of a mere businessman's strike?

What really made Lao Zhu feel like he was that he just wanted Zhu Yunxi to do something and accumulate a little meritorious service, so that he could be made his grandson.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Zhu Yunxi was put in charge of Ying Tianfu, there was a collective strike.

In this way, Lao Zhu's arrangement was completely disrupted.

Lao Zhu believes that with Zhu Yunxi's ability, he will be able to make some political achievements sooner or later.

But the prince's affairs cannot be delayed for a long time.

If it is delayed, it is equivalent to forcing brothers to fight each other for the position of prince, and flesh and blood kill each other.

This is what makes Lao Zhu feel the most uncomfortable.

"Your Majesty, for now, it is better to postpone the increase in business taxes."

Yang Jingjin said: "The imperial court still has some savings, and there is no need to rush the matter of increasing commercial taxes. ”

He used to be the secretary of the household department, but now although he has been transferred to the criminal department, he also knows that the household department is very difficult to do.

The people's homes are always worried about a few taels of silver.

In fact, why is this not the case with the imperial court?

It's just magnified countless times.

But at present, the merchants in Jinling City are on strike, and they can only postpone the matter of increasing the commercial tax.

"It can't be delayed any longer." Zhao Mian spoke out against it.

He is now in charge of the household department, and all the expenses of the court must be paid from the household department, but the income is not much, and he is facing the dilemma that it is difficult for his daughter-in-law to cook without rice.

"Those merchants dare to strike the market, and the imperial court should deal with them severely, and they must not be tolerated and nurtured."

Zhao Mian said: "Lord Yang, if you are in charge of the Criminal Department, you should send someone to arrest a group of merchants who take the lead in boycotting the market, beheading those who should behead, and raiding homes that should be raided, I see who dares to boycott the market." ”

Yang Jing hurriedly glanced at him.

If this is really done, the problem of the merchant boycott will be solved, but how should His Royal Highness Zhu Yunxi, the initiator of this matter, deal with it?

Not to mention anything else, at least the matter of making him the prince is considered yellow.

His Majesty was originally in order to smoothly and smoothly transfer power, so he named him the king of the south and let him take charge of Yingtianfu.

broke the arrangement of His Majesty to establish a prince, that is the real national event.

Besides, if you really want to arrest people, Zhu Yunxi is now in charge of Ying Tianfu, and he can directly order the arrest of people, where do you need the Criminal Department to intervene again.

Above, Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "I have already sent Jiang Zhen to Yingtianfu, let Xi'er just let go and do it, and Jinyi Wei will assist from the side." ”

Yang Jing was shocked in his heart, is Your Majesty going to raise the butcher knife?

That's right, too.

The merchant's strike is a challenge to His Majesty's majesty, who is Your Majesty? How can you allow others to provoke?

Moreover, as long as you are not a fool, you know that behind these businessmen, there are nobles and civil officials who support them.

They are declaring war on the imperial power!

How can Your Majesty endure it?

It's just that in this way, the matter of establishing the prince will be troublesome......

Just thinking about it, I heard Zhu Yuanzhang sigh.

"I hope Xi'er can come up with a solution for both, it's hard for me!"

For a moment, he seemed to be ten years old.

If these merchants are coming for him, then it is easy to do, just kill them all.

Kill people's heads and kill rivers of blood!

His butcher's knife was never blunt.

I won't hesitate to kill too many people.

But this matter involves Xi'er and the position of the prince......

is as strong as Zhu Yuanzhang, and he has to think carefully and throw a mouse bogey.

As a grandfather, he has to take care of his grandchildren.

As an emperor, he has to worry about the smooth inheritance of the country.

For a while, several people in the hall fell silent.

At this moment, a eunuch stooped over and hurried in.

"Your Majesty, the merchants of Jinling City have resumed the market."

"What?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback.

Will the market reopen so soon?

It shouldn't be!

Even if you arrest people and kill people, force them to resume the market, and calculate the time, you will only have time to catch a few leaders.

These merchants may be silent, but they will not give in so easily.

"His Royal Highness the King of the South has posted a notice, and all the merchants will resume the market."

Zhao Mian, Yang Jing, and even Zhu Yuanzhang were all shocked.

The eunuch hurriedly handed over the paper with the contents of the notice written on it.

Zhu Yuanzhang took it and looked at it, and immediately looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful! With a fluttering move, it was effortless to let these merchants obediently resume the market, and Xi'er really lived up to our high expectations. ”

……

PS: Don't worry, everyone, the explosion will start tomorrow, and the big climax is coming!
