Power and Empire Chapter 3166: Anger

Dijing West Road, the last afterglow of the August sunset before the horizon is shining on the petals that are scattered on both sides of the road, which is different from the sudden temperature drop in the northern grassland. It is located in the hinterland of Zhongbia. In the road area, the hot weather in August still gives birth to beautiful scenery like a cluster of flowers. It is one of the ten scenic spots of the Imperial Capital that is as famous as the Imperial Capital in March. One of them is the Yanghua Man Road on the West Road. The Yanghua is full of flowers, a large patch of pink color, dotted the entire land into a huge pink flowerbed, and it is gradually entering its best time

It’s late into the night, and the merchant ships near the pier have gathered together. It’s very lively, the noise of boatmen and sailors, and the coming and going of boatmen. Sometimes the cabins are touched together, causing a burst of chaos and verbal abuse. The bells from the Silent Temple When it came from afar, the ancient cities in the rear had already lit up a large number of densely packed lights like stars. It has been more than half a year since the empire entered the Dijing West Road, and a large number of Zhongbian people from the Imperial Capital and the side of the Dahe Road have been flooded. After entering, the population of Dijing West Road has almost expansively soared to more than 6 million, which is quite close to the population of 8 million in its heyday

The empire adopted a nearly developmental commercial policy on Dijing West Road, using a large number of commercial activities from north to south to drive the vitality of the entire region, and in terms of stability, it supported the original religious leader Jiji Temple. In Luzhou, where the fighting was fierce in the south, hundreds of thousands of Aden troops landed and raged. Dijing West Road was calm and stable. Politically, the empire completely abolished the pedigree system of the original China and Biya, leaving the poor people of China and Biya that have been suppressed for a long time. A huge power erupted within a period of time, and many Chinese and Bahia literati from unfamiliar backgrounds enthusiastically became regional officials appointed by the empire, so that the hearts of the Chinese and Bianya people in the west road area of ​​Emperor Jing gradually returned to the empire

The most sudden outbreak of Dijing West Road is the massive investment of funds from the southern Liuchenggang area. More than tens of millions of funds are smashed on Dijing West Road. It is difficult to think about it.

Liucheng Port is the largest trading port group in the southern part of Central and Biya, and nearly half of the tax revenue of the Central and Biadian court is the source of taxes. I don’t know how much of the taxation has fallen into the hands of these families, and finally left the previous one. Tens of millions of funds have made these rich and powerful nobles and aristocrats rich in their hands. They were worried that they would be suppressed by the empire. After all, in the propaganda of the Zhongbia court, the imperial-controlled West Road of Emperor Jing is a piece of land. Ruins, bandits, and imperial rulers chop off the heads of a few nobles in China and Bahia to demonstrate at intervals. They came to the West Road of Emperor Jing with a trembling heart, but it was not the case at all.

Compared with the decadence in the south and the overflowing people over the city, Dijing West Road shows a stunning and prosperous scene

The temperature in autumn has not yet fully fallen. The rice in the field has already been harvested, and the trees are losing their last leaves. It is in such a calm and enchanting scenery, but the roads crisscross the terraces and the carriages shuttle like On the river, the merchant fleet is like a crucian carp crossing the river, the magnificent coat in autumn, the big river is turbulent, the roads by the river, the villages are smoky, the city is crowded with people, and there are many shops, if you don’t see the top of the city. It is the eagle flag of the empire, and the tall imperial soldiers stand at the gate of the city. The scene in front of you is simply the scenery in the heyday of the Biya Empire.

The Liuchenggang family who came with a large amount of funds, after a while of panic, discovered that this is the real paradise, the water on the river is clear, the paintings are still the same, the boats drive the sound of the oars, and the light among the weeping willows is self-supporting. Passing, the wind rolled up the fallen leaves nearby, and then swirled down on the water, drifting far away with the waves. Reading at zero point

Pedestrians, carriages, and wooden bridges across urban roads cross over a narrower river. Where the water flow is slightly slower, you can still see women sizing laundry on the stone steps, chatting and laughing, far away There is no sign of confusion at all in the teahouse, banquets, and wine. There is no sign of confusion at all. Don’t say you see the robbers raging along the way, that is, every distance on the commercial road is a wide flat for hoarding goods, and a large number of goods are piled open. There, there are only two or three guards next to them, and they are not afraid of these goods being taken away.

"No, there is definitely a problem"

A leader of the clan really couldn’t help, and he found a guard to ask. The guard was just looking at the look of a bunny. After looking at the leader of the clan, he sneered and said, "You are from the south, right? These talents from the south will ask such silly questions. This is an area controlled by the empire. The place where the empire’s army is stationed, even the grasslands near the capital, dare not come to presumptuously, let alone garrison for defense, as long as there are goods. Loot, the garrison will rush out like a tiger out of the cage, which bandit dare to come here to find death!"

Ashamed, this is a shame! The leader of the clan who inquired looked embarrassed, how could he forget that the empire is a country stronger than the prairie people. There are 100,000 troops stationed on Dijing West Road, and they are all elites. The bandits are looking for death on Dijing West Road! Moreover, I heard that the empire’s policy is completely equal. Except for military personnel with certain privileges, both the family and the high-ranking people are the same as the civilians, and those with large amounts of funds are the real invisible privileged class here. There is nothing else in the clan, that is, they have money. Here, they can buy the best restaurants, eat the best food, buy all kinds of luxury goods from the whole continent, and see all kinds of customs. Beautiful women, if they are really in Central and Bahia, they still need to take into account their family status. Here, whoever cares about this, the rich is the uncle,

The local tyrants in Liuchenggang are rich and stupid, but they make the merchants on Dijing West Road all happy. These guys can’t do anything else. They are absolutely generous in buying things. They don’t ask the price for anything, just one word. buy! buy! buy! So that when I say that I am a native of Liuchenggang on Dijing West Road, I can immediately feel the envy of other people’s eyes,

"My lord, I've invited someone from the An family" a servant of the Lu family walked in with a famous post

"Put it there!"

Lu Yangyu put down a document in his hand and said casually to the servant, a flash of anger flashed in his eyes, these guys are becoming more and more reckless now, these businessmen are becoming more and more unscrupulous, really think they rely on the business alliance Support, just want it, the idea hits the head of the Lu family, if it weren't for Princess Mingyue who didn't want to offend the Commercial Alliance, I must let these guys know that the Commercial Alliance is nothing in front of the Imperial Bank!

"Where is your house?" the servant asked cautiously

"If you don't go, just say I'm sick!"

Lu Yangyu's face was cold, and his nose snorted heavily. An Jia’s banquet was a Hongmen Banquet. An Jia was a powerful businessman in Liucheng Port. Although he was wealthy, he was not at the same level as the Lu Family. , An Jia absolutely dare not directly send invitations to the Lu family in this way, but since entering Dijing West Road, these big businessmen from Liuchenggang have joined the business alliance and got rid of the restrictions on their status. The support of the behemoth suddenly became domineering. These businessmen took a fancy to the shortcomings of the clan that possessed a lot of financial resources, but were not good at business, and they proposed to jointly operate with the clan. In fact, most of these thoughtful businessmen who have played with the clan are financial investment. When I entered, I was completely tossed in a few strokes. Several families have already fallen into it, and even killed them. Lu Yangyu, annoyed, asked the families not to cooperate with businessmen.

Unexpectedly, these businessmen would openly provoke the Lu family by launching a settlement to fight the Lu family.

Lu Yangyu knows that the reason why these merchants from the original Liuchenggang dared to be so arrogant was because behind these merchants stood the behemoth of the Imperial Business Alliance, forcing the original nobles to transform into merchants in the occupied areas, which was itself the state policy of the empire, not to mention In the Central and Biya region, the Imperial Bank, which has just been established for half a year, is far from being able to suppress the business alliance that has been developing for several years. In just one month, it has been turned upside down, and if you want to control it, it is already powerless.

All kinds of hard and soft from the business alliance, various methods in the dark, when the family who escaped from the Liuchenggang side wakes up, most of them are trapped at once, not to mention the other people, it is his Lu family There are also many children who stand on the side of these businessmen, clamoring that a new era should be changed, that changes must not be made. The Lu family wants to continue. The only way is to change from a clan to a merchant. The situation is out of control, and Lu Yangyu has nothing to do with it. Being able to bear it, he knew that what the imperial emperor valued was the influence of the family Lu family, and that the Lu family had its current status. If the Lu family became a businessman, the Lu family would really be over. There was no value in the Lu family, and What qualifications to enter the eyes of the Emperor, that is the future of the Lu Family!

Just over a month after leaving Dijing West Road, the fat man already felt something wrong with the Dijing West Road in front of him. Through the curtain of the carriage, he looked at the crowds surging outside, watching the brothels and restaurants lined along the streets, the noisy voices spread. In my ears, my eyebrows can't help but frown. According to the truth, business prosperity is a good thing, but what's the matter with the chariot of the business alliance that ran into it at will? Before the brothel restaurant, what happened to the merchants crowded by the crowd? Even in front of some merchants’ carriages, there were mercenaries with weapons driving the crowds, and the city guards in charge of patrols just took a look. Anyway, if a merchant in Obalo dared to do this, the city guards would unceremoniously arrest him, but this is not the case,

"The situation is indeed out of control!" The fat man lowered the curtain of the car in his hands

"Your Majesty, the Long family is still in Luzhou, but I'm afraid it won't last long." An imperial intelligence officer in casual clothes sat opposite, said

"Don’t worry, I used 10,000 sets of infantry armor to delay the Long Family for five days. According to Long Po’s disposition, I will definitely do it. Five days is enough for us." The fat man took a deep breath with heavy hands. Pressing on the account book on the table, the **** smell in the tone made the imperial intelligence officials on the opposite side feel like sitting on pins and needles

It was the emperor’s move to move the family and merchants of Liuchenggang to Dijing West Road. It was originally to use Liuchenggang’s financial resources to establish the prestige of the Imperial Bank. The investment of tens of millions of funds, according to normal conditions, With the Imperial Bank as the leading factor, tens of millions of funds from Liucheng Port were introduced to Dijing West Road, which impacted the almost out-of-control merchant forces on Dijing West Road, and forced these merchant forces that had been nurtured during the war for several years to be managed by the Imperial Bank. ,

As a result, the situation is not the case. The emperor has read the Imperial Bank’s account book for nearly a month, and tens of millions of funds have almost only flowed away on the Imperial Bank’s books. He was quickly given various reasons. If you take the empty space, you can find the final place of the capital flow without spending too much effort, and directly point to the business alliance controlled by the local luxury merchants

Reports from the Ministry of Supervision also indicate that the situation on West Dijing Road is out of control. Some Chinese and Bianyan businessmen with large amounts of financial resources, who control the market, are being entangled together, clearly resisting the control of the Imperial Bank, and even in some black markets. The blatant appearance of things prohibited by the empire, weapons, slaves, and even the location of some administrative officials in the Western Imperial Road area

If it is in the Obaro area, the business alliance will absolutely not dare to do this. The emperor’s butcher knife has already smashed the backbone of the wealthy merchants, but this is China and Biya, a blood-sucking freak cultivated by years of war. ~IndoMTL.com~The power of the business alliance in the Central and Bahia region is beyond the imagination of most people

In the past few years of chaos in Central and Bahia, the merchants that have been cultivated can be described as uncontrollable. Those wealthy merchants who do business with the prairie tribes, even the prairie departments with heavy arms, are forced to jump. It can even become the main cause of the internal division of the Yelu family, and one can imagine the extent of its powerful influence. Even the grassland Yelu family has the power to face these wealthy businessmen. Yelu Qiyeguang has repeatedly stated that the empire should treat these merchants. Take control,

In Obalo, the imperial bank is controlled by the ruthless Black Rose, and the business alliance does not dare to raise its head. Here, Li Yuehua, the chief of the military, may at any time because of the Aden people’s war in Luzhou. The army marched northward, already pressing the imperial army on the front line of the river, completely unable to take into account the commercial changes on Dijing West Road. Princess Mingyue, who was in charge of the imperial bank in Central and Bahia, was a newcomer in business. Without the danger of this business alliance war, although it is no longer a famous flower in the deep palace, when it comes to cruelty and frightening dissatisfaction with thunder, there is still a considerable distance.

This is my own misconduct. I underestimated these businessmen in Central and Bahia.

The fat man was a little annoyed, and he did not expect that such a large basket would appear on Dijing West Road in just one month. This is also one of the reasons why the imperial army immediately returned to the north of Yanzhou after the Battle of Dongshan. Lu is the most important area of ​​the Empire in Central and Biyah. It must not allow any forces to stir up trouble, let alone the Aden Army storming Luzhou. At any time, after taking Luzhou, they may choose to move northward, and 10,000 sets of infantry will be thrown to the dragon Home, I hope I can drag it out for five days. Li Yuehua’s troops can’t move. If they move, the merchants on Dijing West Road will be alert, so the one who can move is the Emperor of Yanzhou North! rw
