Chapter 343 Committing a crime against the odds
Early the next morning, amid the sound of gongs and drums, Huang Dafa and his group of business friends who had obtained industrial and commercial business licenses opened their doors for business at the same time, letting the originally nervous people breathe a big sigh of relief.
Of course, it also made those chambers of commerce and aristocratic clans who followed the instructions of the Donglin Party members and are still on strike and have not applied for industrial and commercial business licenses grit their teeth with hatred and wanted to kill Huang Dafa.
However, they are not fools. Seeing that Huang Dafa is accompanied by four royal guards, it is a bit difficult to deal with him. The key is that the emperor's attitude has been made clear. To deal with Huang Dafa is to slap the emperor in the face.
The consequences of touching the emperor's reverse scale are very serious, ranging from having his head chopped off to having his family confiscated and exterminated. In the current delicate situation, it is best not to touch Huang Dafa, a loser.
If you want to test the emperor's bottom line, there are many ways to do it. If you can't do something big, then do it small. Let's wait and see how the emperor reacts first. This is called planning and then acting.
Zhu Youjian knew in his heart that businessmen were driven by profits. With businessmen across the city closed and on strike, prices were soaring. With his full support, those businessmen who reopened their businesses might desperately increase their prices, making ordinary people's living burdens heavier.
Therefore, he had to intervene administratively and only allowed a 10% increase. If you have any objections, you don't have to sell, but if you touch the red line, you will be severely punished. If you don't believe it, you can try my butcher's knife.
Zhu Youjian also knew that this imperial edict would turn all the powerful families and landlords in the world into enemies, and might even trigger rebellion. But at this point, he wanted to boil the frog in warm water, and the method of weakening the strength of the family members bit by bit did not work. .
In troubled times, he had no choice but to take tough measures. The army was ready, and it was up to him to see which unlucky guy would jump out and die.
Huang Dafa understood the emperor's intention and was very knowledgeable. Privately, he communicated with all the businessmen who had obtained industrial and commercial business licenses, and the price only increased by 2%.
I helped the emperor a lot this time, and the rewards in the future will be immeasurable, hehe.
Zhang Shirong is a good friend of Huang Dafa and one of the first small businessmen to apply for a business license and open his business today.
He is said to be a small businessman because Zhang Shirong only has two shops, selling rice, noodles, groceries and other daily necessities.
As soon as the store opened, many people came to buy rice, noodles and miscellaneous goods. Seeing the long queue of people, Zhang Shirong smiled so much that he couldn't close his mouth.
He wished that those big businessmen and aristocratic clans would close their doors forever. His business would be booming every day and he would make a lot of money, hehe.
"Hey, what are you doing? Can you please be reasonable? I've been waiting in line since early in the morning, and you jumped in line as soon as you came..."
There was a sudden noise in the shopping queue. Zhang Shirong squeezed through the crowd and walked over to take a look. It turned out that someone was cutting in line.
He glanced at the people who jumped in line, frowned slightly, and felt a sense of security in his heart. He immediately waved to a store clerk, whispered a few words, and then retreated into the store. If anything happened, he would be the first to do so. Time slips out the back door.
When Zhang Shirong was young, he traveled all over the country to work for people. He saved a little money by living frugally, and then relied on this small amount of money to start some small businesses, selling things from village to village, and slowly began to make a fortune, and then he became what he is today. achievements.
He has experienced many storms, his brain is more flexible than ordinary people, and his vision of people is sharper than ordinary people.
Although the three people who jumped in line were dressed plainly, they were all young and strong, with a bit of a gangster smell about them. At first glance, they were not honest ordinary people.
At yesterday's party, my best friend Huang Dafa and Vice President Huang repeatedly reminded him to be careful of certain people causing trouble. Once discovered, he would report it to Jin Yiwei immediately.
In order to support these small businessmen, Zhu Youjian strictly ordered Tian Boguang, the commander of Jinyiwei, to send more manpower, strengthen patrols, and secretly monitor the merchants who were open for business. Once someone was found to be causing trouble, no matter what his identity, he would first be arrested and sent to Jinyiwei Prison. If you dare Those who resist arrest and resist will be killed without mercy.
Among the first batch of more than a hundred businessmen who applied for industrial and commercial business licenses, there must be some informants from the chamber of commerce, aristocratic clans, and the Donglin Party. Naturally, they knew that the Jin Yiwei had secret orders to protect these businessmen.
They still dared to commit crimes in order to test Zhu Youjian's bottom line.
