Cao Ang's statement greatly appeased the emotions of the officials.

This quickly brought the panicked officials to their senses.

They are unwilling to take responsibility and be punished.

The worst consequence of taking responsibility will result in losing your official position or even your life, which is an unbearable burden for them.

It is a common phenomenon for officials to be afraid of taking responsibility. Not to mention officials, ordinary people are also afraid of taking responsibility.

I always feel that I can’t let go of my hands and feet. I dare not do it here or there because I am afraid of expanding my responsibilities.

Now they heard that this matter had nothing to do with them. It was because the Sabre people were too useless and the court would not directly hold them accountable, so they were happy.

Soothe your body and mind!

It’s not our fault, it’s the Sabre people that are too naughty and have nothing to do with us, so we won’t be punished.

wonderful!

The tension and anxiety of the official group were instantly relieved.

However, Cao Ang didn't plan to let them go.

He looked serious and his voice was loud at the enlarged meeting.

"This incident was not caused by us, so the court cannot hold us accountable, but if the subsequent aftermath work cannot properly appease the people and lead to civil unrest! That is our unshirkable responsibility!

Once this happens, it is possible to lose one's office and even go to prison with me. We have one count, no one can escape! So at this moment, it is time for me to need to work together, do you understand?"

Cao Ang's shouting was full of power, and instantly made the officials who had just relaxed nervous again.

Indeed, the economic depression is not blamed on them, but once there is a turmoil among the people, it is their responsibility.

If they cause social losses to this end, they will be even more unable to escape. One is counted as the other, and Cao Ang will be punished.

The officials have comforted each other, and the next step is the second step.

We must appease these people who are extremely afraid and think they are going to be punished, so that they know that they will not be punished, and relieve the tension and anxiety of the people.

At the critical moment, Cao Ang showed strong decisiveness and action.

First, he decided to delay the court's debts and let the officials in charge of the Ministry of Finance cooperate actively and report to the central government first.

Here, small merchants are allowed to go bankrupt, let them stop losses, record them, and then let them go home and wait for news.

The debt belongs to the court and the Ministry of Finance. Cao Ang could not make any decisions in this way, and even Guo Peng here could not intervene immediately, and could only wait for the decision of the court.

So I threw the troublesome things to the Ministry of Finance and the emperor. They first stabilized the local emotions and restored normal production and living order.

Cao Ang quickly ordered the entire town to be divided into eight areas, with the eight major officials of the Protectorate Office being in charge of one area, and they will preach and post notices in the area to inform the public of the cause and truth of the matter.

No one will be arrested, no one will be punished, this is the first priority!

The reason for this happening was that the defeat of the Ali Kingdom caused serious damage to the Ali merchants, so they didn't come. In short, it was because the Ali people were too useless, not the fault of our Wei people!

All the mistakes are the ones who are too useless. We have not made any mistakes, so don’t worry!

Spread this statement throughout the city and even the entire Zhenxi Protectorate, let everyone know.

Use the method of diverting contradictions to shift everyone's focus to the Sakura, so as to ease the contradictions and gain time to resolve the problem.

We will give the Central Ministry of Finance and the Protectorate of the West to gain some breathing opportunity, let them coordinate and argue with each other and try to solve the problem.

Do it as soon as you say it.

For their official positions and future, the officials of Zhenxi Protectorate had a strong action, and rushed to the area where they were responsible for, vigorously preached, posted notices everywhere, and beat drums and drums to announce the truth of the matter.

It is the fault of the restorator!

It's not our fault!

All the mistakes are in peace, we are implicated, and we are innocent!

From noon to sunset, I finally initially controlled the situation in the west of Zhenxi City, letting everyone throw the blame on the restoration people and unify the situation.

Those merchants who could not support were also allowed to close their stores and go home to live, waiting for news.

Cao Ang came forward to guarantee them that they would not be questioned and would not be punished. In addition to repaying the loan, there was no additional responsibility to bear!

Because they are not the ones who are wrong!

Because all the mistakes are the fault of the Absolutes, will they be too careless if they fight back the Romans with a little bit of strength?

Bah! A bunch of waste!

So everyone shared the same hatred of the enemy, venting the resentment, fear and worries in their stomachs towards the Kingdom of Anxu thousands of miles away. The city was cursing the waste of the people of Anxu. Zhenxicheng really restored peace and regained harmony.

Of course, the rest merchants who came here to take refuge before were really trembling and hid at home and dared not come out.

I was afraid that someone would know that I was a resting person, and then I was beaten and had no place to make any reason.

He was even more afraid of being asked to compensate the merchants in Wei State who were damaged.

Of course, the Zhenxi Protectorate was not without officials who proposed such an idea, confiscating the property of the Anxi merchant to subsidize the losses of the merchants in Wei State. Cao Ang refused this behavior.

We are officials, not robbers. We know that such things have nothing to do with the rest merchants, but we still have to do so, which will damage the reputation of the country.

It is an extreme limit for real men to do what they do and to ease the conflicts and to further damage their property and personal safety, it is unnecessary.

If this happens, it will affect the rest of the country and the rest of the country will not be willing to trade again after it returns to normal, wouldn’t it be a greater loss for the country?

Cao Ang refused such behavior.

But the matter has not ended there.

This is just the first step in the chain reaction.

Hotels and restaurants collapsed, and some people downstream who had commercial partnerships with them also lost their source of business.

The merchants of the Rest were no longer here, and the demand dropped sharply. Some people who made handicrafts, or brewed wine, and provided food and vegetables to the wine shops and hotels in the city were no longer doing business.

The economic model of Zhenxi Protectorate or the entire Wei Empire is still relatively single.

The main thing is agriculture, and some commerce and handicrafts have been developed above agriculture.

There are military farms around the city, carrying the main population and main production tasks. There are some commercial shops distributed in the city, relying on agricultural products to operate businesses. They spend money to order products from farms outside the city to meet their needs.

This is how it was during economic boom.

Farmers outside the city and merchants inside the city form an interest alliance, providing goods while giving money.

When supply is in short supply, farmers will also work hard to expand the scope of farming under the organization and encouragement of the government and reclaim more wasteland to meet the needs of merchants in the city.

As a result, the economic depression came, the merchants fell down, and no one bought the things produced by the farmers, so they could only leave them at home and stared at them.

It is not a problem to keep the grain for a few years. It can always be eaten up, and it cannot be sold if it cannot be sold.

However, fruits and vegetables are not easy to live in, the price is still expensive, and they also squeeze out the land for growing grain. Once they cannot be eaten before they are rotten, they will suffer a loss, and the loss will be no small part.

These days, food is the main food. People who can eat fruits and vegetables are never ordinary people, but rich people, not to mention that the productivity of the Western Regions is far less than that of the Central Plains.

Farmers in the developed agricultural areas of the Central Plains have no problem with food and clothing, and they can still make some meat and fish every now and then. Farmers in the Western Regions can only make some fruits and vegetables during festivals and eat meat. Usually, they still eat grain and salt to fill their stomachs.

They are reluctant to eat fruits and vegetables. They are usually sold to urban merchants to do business with foreign merchants. They use it to make money themselves, and they are almost always with cash crops and cash crops to eat them themselves, which is a waste.

Not to mention that the shelf life is a problem.

So many old farmers went into the city to curse the merchants in the city, saying that they were heartless, useless, and were harmful to the world.

But the merchants' push for six and two five are all the fault of the Sabre, and they have no money now.

The old farmer was helpless and finally he could only curse himself and admit that he was unlucky.

After all, the main thing that is produced is grain, and fruits and vegetables are the minority.

If you eat it, you won’t lose much.

No one bought the excess agricultural products, so they could only eat them and solve them by themselves. There was no problem with the stomach. They could eat enough and not starve to death, but farmers also had no spare money.

Without spare money, there is no way to expand production and promote consumption, which further led to the economic recession in the city and more merchants encountered a crisis of decline in business volume.

The overall economic trend has begun to decline, and a vicious cycle has been formed. The economic development momentum of Zhenxi Protectorate was hit hard until it could not rise again.

Therefore, the capital is relatively strong and the big merchants who will not encounter business crises in the short term will also complain.

It is useless to call yourself greedy and swearing the sabbatical, and it is also secretly saying that the officials who encourage them to handle business are too anxious.

Now that business is not done, the cost must be pointed out constantly, the profit is pitifully small, and even maintaining business is not an easy task.

All in all, it's a lot of resentment.

From the day the rumors were suppressed, Cao Ang realized that the psychological preparation he made for the economic depression at the beginning was far from enough to cope with such a severe impact.

One trouble after another came to the door, one trouble after another chased him behind his butt, kicked his butt and forced him to keep moving forward, making him in a hurry.

Even if the Sakura man used some of the conflicts, the huge pressure still pressed on him, making him breathless.

All kinds of unexpected news and unexpected situations test his ability to adapt.

He couldn't even eat well, or he didn't have the time and thought of having a good meal at all. He was as busy as the ants on the hot pan and couldn't stop at all.
