Chapter 142: Economic Warfare and 'Popular Winds'? Hold Back the Daewoo Emperor!
Originally, they discussed how to deal with the Daewoo Emperor Dynasty, but Wei Xiaobao inexplicably pulled this matter to the Daewoo Emperor and the Empress's love for 'Spring and Autumn Brushes' and 'Pottery Crafts', which suddenly made Mu Qianyou puzzled, and asked puzzledly: "But what does this have to do with dragging the Daewoo Emperor Dynasty?" Also, are you really sure that the kings and ministers of this Dahuang Dynasty will listen to you?"
"Heh, I can achieve the Great Wilderness, so I can naturally manipulate it? As for dragging the Daewoo Emperor Dynasty, just look at it. Wei Xiaobao's eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze was profound, as if it was much more vast than the boundless starry sky, in the following days, Wei Xiaobao cultivated his strength in the Taishi Mansion of the Great Wilderness Dynasty, and constantly refined the remaining ancestral essence blood, five months passed in a blink of an eye, and finally after three more drops of ancestral essence blood were refined, Wei Xiaobao's whole body meridians were transformed, and the bones and internal organs were the same, the tendons and veins also emitted golden light, and his physical body was improved again!
The martial arts strength of the whole person, on the basis of the original Great Perfection comparable to Xuan Xian, has been strengthened again, reaching a point comparable to the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, that is, corresponding to the late stage of martial arts!
And during this period of time, his spiritual power of the sea of consciousness also skyrocketed.
In the past five months, there has been no response from the Great Wilderness King, thinking that he is not dying, but Wei Xiaobao has begun to act against the Dayu Emperor Dynasty.
In this short period of five months, the Daewoo Emperor Dynasty is still raising troops to attack, and the countries are difficult to resist, almost running out of oil, and even hearing that the Dayu Emperor has been injured by the masters sent by the Daewoo Emperor, and has not healed so far. The countries had sad faces, but no one knew that an undercurrent was quietly spreading in the Daewoo Dynasty, and the calm Daewoo seemed to be about to make waves
I don't know from which day it started, in the capital of the Daewoo Emperor, among the people, about the Empress of the Daewoo Dynasty and the Emperor Ouyang Zhengde's love for 'Spring and Autumn Pens' and 'Pottery Crafts' spread, originally it was nothing, the Empress and the Emperor liked these two things, what can I do?
However, as more and more people know about this matter, at the beginning, a small number of businessmen and wealthy families bought a large number of them, and even asked craftsmen to customize the best "Spring and Autumn Brush" and "pottery handicrafts", many of them did not use the two things, but used them to show off and collect!
"The emperor and the queen both like the 'Spring and Autumn Pen' and 'Pottery Crafts' these two treasures, my family's collection is naturally not comparable to the Emperor and the Queen, but it is many times stronger than the collection of your rich Li family in the east of the city, hahahaha, so my Liu family is the richest man in this city, not only the richest man, the collection of 'Spring and Autumn Pen' and 'pottery crafts', how elegant my family is, how cultured, much stronger than your nouveau riche. Such rhetoric began to appear.
"What's so great about your family's collection, I specially customize a better one!" This matter spread with the spread of the major merchants of the Daewoo Emperor Dynasty, as if it had become popular for a while, originally this was just a comparison between businessmen to show off their wealth, nothing?
Just kidding, now that the Daewoo Emperor's attention is focused on conquering the nations, how can anyone care about such a trivial matter? But later, when some merchants gave gifts, they gave them to the officials, and bought 'Spring and Autumn pens' and 'pottery handicrafts' with a lot of money, and the officials naturally accepted them one after another.
As a result, the trend of spreading and spreading this matter became more and more uncontrollable, and finally in just three months, the Daewoo Emperor followed suit from the top officials and nobles to the common people. Therefore, the price of the two things is not expensive, and the people can also buy it, although they don't use it, they can also collect it to show off.
For a time, in the Daewoo Emperor Dynasty, no matter whether rich or poor, everyone was proud to have these two 'treasures', and these two treasures seemed to have suddenly become a popular trend!
And the price of these two things, is also rising again and again, pottery handicrafts often have to be specially built by craftsmen, but the Spring and Autumn Pen is different, under the urgent need of the market, the price skyrocketed, stimulated by huge profits, countless business travelers changed careers to resell the 'Spring and Autumn Pen', and countless officials also collected these two things. Gradually, some smart people seized the opportunity to no longer farm, but began to plant trees in their own fields, this tree is not ordinary, it grows very fast, it is not too big, it will grow in almost a month, and this tree is the log that makes the 'Spring and Autumn Pen', and some people 'plant trees' and sell them to merchants and make a lot of money. When hundreds of people saw it, their eyes were red.
So, all of a sudden, the entire Daewoo Emperor Dynasty was swept away by a trend of 'planting trees'? The farmland began to be abandoned, and this matter did not attract attention at first, but gradually after the situation expanded, it swept the entire Daewoo Emperor Dynasty, the common people 'planted trees', the merchants and travelers bought and sold 'Spring and Autumn pens' and 'pottery handicrafts', the ministers and nobles, and the rich and talented people collected these two things.
In the hall of the Dayu Emperor's court, Ouyang Zhengde was dressed in an imperial robe on this day, sitting on the top with a majestic face, and the civil and military ministers below stood respectfully, and before the other ministers could speak, the Taishi and the prime minister stood up and said loudly: "Emperor Qiyu, the two ministers have a matter, which has been stuck in the throat recently, although I still can't figure it out, but I always feel that there is something strange, and I said it to Your Majesty today." ”
"Oh, what's the matter, the old lady and Xiangguo can't figure it out?" Ouyang Zhengde's expression moved, looked at the two important ministers, and asked suspiciously, and the ministers also looked over.
"Emperor, please see, what is this?" I saw that Prime Minister Shangguan took out two things in front of everyone's eyes, which were 'Spring and Autumn Brush' and a 'pottery handicraft', and everyone looked at each other.
"Xiangguo, these two things are what the queen and I like, what's wrong? Could it be that Xiangguo and Taishi are actually going to admonish the widow today, hehe. Ouyang Zhengde shook his head and smiled indifferently.
Taishi's face was anxious at this time, but he grabbed the conversation and shouted: "Your Majesty and the Queen have no playthings, but Your Majesty and the Queen Mother love this thing, and it has spread to the people, and the people have followed suit, and the merchants have also collected it, and everyone is proud to have these two things, which is very bad." ”
"What's wrong? Please ask the princess and the prime minister to make it clear?" Ouyang Zhengde saw that the old lady and the prime minister were so anxious, and his face became solemn, his expression froze, and he immediately asked in confusion.
"Your Majesty, now this trend of comparison and showing off has formed a trend in my Dayu Emperor Dynasty, the people do not farm, but 'plant trees', and the merchants buy and sell these two things wantonly, it is true that more and more taxes have been paid recently, and the income of the treasury spirit stone has increased by thirty percent, but Your Majesty, do you know that the grain in the granary has long been exhausted, and the grain and grass in the last two months have been purchased from various countries with a lot of money?" The old lady's face was anxious, and she spoke loudly, with horror in her tone.
"What? Could it be that someone is fueling this matter and secretly conspiring against my Dayu Emperor Dynasty?" Ouyang Zhengde was not stupid, he reacted immediately, his face was ugly, and he was about to deal with it.
But at this moment, a soldier suddenly broke into the report and exclaimed: "The Great Emperor Xiangguo Taishi is not good, the big thing is not good, the Northern Cypriot Ministry, the Great Wilderness Dynasty and other alliances of nations suddenly blocked the trade checkpoint at the same time, prohibiting domestic business travelers from selling goods to my Daewoo Emperor Dynasty, and the other three border countries, although they have not blocked the checkpoints, there are also a large number of merchants hoarding military supplies such as grain, grass, weapons and so on, and they would rather keep the goods in their hands than sell us." ”
"It's really a step late, it's a step late, this is a conspiracy, this is a conspiracy from the Northern Sai Great Wilderness Dynasty Nawei Xiaobao? This is just the beginning, when this news comes out, the other two borders, including the Great Panic Heavenly Dynasty, will react and quickly save you to take the same measures as the Northern Sai countries, this Wei Xiaobao is so insidious that he can't defeat my Dayu Emperor Dynasty, but he wants to drag us down!" The prime minister's face changed wildly, and he suddenly roared, and at this moment, the ministers also understood, and their faces were ugly.
Ouyang Zhengde's expression was gloomy, and he asked, "Now, what do you think of Zhong Aiqing?"
