In this situation, it is already a fact that the non-cooperation between merchants in the government is a fact. If the coercive force is not used, it will be difficult to break the deadlock.

But once the coercive force is used, even if there is no weapon, someone will inevitably be injured. When the Ministry of Justice investigates it, it will be difficult for Sima Yi to explain.

Sima Yi is at the end of his term as a magistrate, and he is about to be transferred. Whether to be promoted, demoted or transferred at the same level has a great impact.

On the other hand, the Ministry of Justice has no economic responsibility. No matter how serious the economic crisis is, no matter how many shops are closed, the officials of the Ministry of Justice will eat and drink as they please.

They may really do something like putting in trouble at that time.

After finishing the bad things that must be done, then question the people who do bad things, this is the source of their political achievements.

Sima Yi was stunned.

If you do something, you will be punished. Who is willing to do such a thing?

These bastards are also extremely selfish and have become bad at heart.

When they encounter something, they sit on the wall to watch, hide in the gate of the official office and never go out. When the crisis is over, they will wash themselves as if they are white lotus flowers to uphold justice.

During every political storm during the Yande period, the Ministry of Justice did this.

Under the leadership of Guo Yi, the Minister of Justice, they sat on the wall and watched together. When the matter was over, they came out to "uphold justice" in accordance with the emperor's orders and gained benefits and political interests.

Many people are so angry at the Ministry of Justice that they hate the Ministry of Justice, but it is useless. Who makes the leader come to the royal family?

Now it seems that the thief style of the Ministry of Justice in the central government has obviously continued to the local area. In this case, the thief is about to die, and the typical upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked.

When it comes to that, Sima Yi may not necessarily have good results, and Ren Yong obviously won’t speak for Sima Yi.

So Ren Yong felt that it would be meaningful for Sima Yi to maintain this level of vigilance and foresight in this matter, otherwise he would still help people count the money if he was sold.

Of course, Sima Yi, an old man who has been in the officialdom for more than ten years, would not be a naughty person.

So Ren Yong could only think about it carefully.

In this matter, he and Sima Yi are already grasshoppers on the same rope, prospering and losing.

If Sima Yi is unable to do something well, he is also dereliction of duty. Sima Yi has no good fruit to eat? He has no good fruit to eat either.

So in this matter, he must stand with Sima Yi and work together? If the two of them quarrel, they will surely have no good results together.

Thinking about it like this? Ren Yong felt that he needed to work with Sima Yi to put some pressure on the people of the Ministry of Justice, so as not to injure them.

It is best to take people from the Ministry of Justice together when doing business, and everyone will commit crimes together? Let’s see how you hold me accountable later.

"What Sima Protector said? It is indeed reasonable. After thinking about it carefully, I feel it is necessary to report to the Ministry of Justice in advance."

Hearing Ren Yong's relief? Sima Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

He smiled and said, "Since that's the case? So it's better not to be late? Let's go to the Ministry of Justice as soon as possible?"

Ren Yong nodded helplessly.

So the two decided to set off immediately? Jointly visit Gong Yun, the local head of the Ministry of Justice.

Walking on the road? Sima Yi was thinking about further getting closer to Ren Yong? So he asked Ren Yong what role the court played in this matter.

"Isn't it just to turn off those small and not yet established shops, to keep those famous shops with large scale, and to ask us to do such a thing, just to offend us?"

Sima Yi looked bitter.

Speaking of this matter? Ren Yong was also very dissatisfied.

"I also heard that the court was quarreling about this matter? But closing the shops that could not stand being dragged was decided at the beginning? The problem is... It is said that the emperor originally wanted to allocate a sum of money to the local finance department, so that the finance department would waive the loans of those small merchants and relieve them of their worries."

"If that's the case? It's a kind approach. Why do we have to encounter such great resistance?"

Sima Yi frowned and asked, "Who opposes?"

"Many people oppose it. Not to mention the people of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of War, the Cabinet and the Ministry of Finance, there are many people who oppose it. They are still the same old saying that emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce is the foundation of the country, so that the northwest should not be allowed to engage in business. The northwest farmers do not work in their own business and engage in cheap business.

It would be fine if there was nothing wrong before. Now something happened. If you don’t quickly dismiss the Northwest’s low-income industry once and for all, should you still allocate funds to the Northwest and take money from the treasury to subsidize the low-income industry? Isn’t this absurd? There are so many people who have such opinions, and if they try hard to submit memorials, the emperor will be helpless."

Ren Yong shook his head repeatedly.

Sima Yi hesitated for a moment and shook his head.

"This...is too much."

"There is no way. Farming is the foundation of the country, and business is a low-key business. The Supreme Emperor has never opposed it. How can I oppose it today?"

"What then?"

"Then? Of course, the emperor was unwilling to be dismissed from the northwest business. It has finally developed to this day and is dismissed? Isn't this the same as the former Han court that he wanted to give up Liangzhou?

So the emperor was furious and dismissed the three most fiercely-called officials in court, severely scolded the Zaobutang of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and then forcibly passed the current resolution."

"There is still such a thing?"

Sima Yi was a little unimaginable.

Ren Yong sighed and said, "Even if the emperor is furious, if the emperor ignored it, with the qualifications of Zaobu Hall, the northwest business would have been over. Zaobu Hall was an old minister in Yuan, who followed the Supreme Emperor for more than 20 years. In the former Han Dynasty, he would be a figure with disciples and old officials all over the world."

Sima Yi nodded slightly.

"Zaobutang has always paid attention to military farming and farming. It is said that when the Emperor Taishang Emperor was the magistrate of Shanggu County in Shanggu County, he assisted the Emperor Taishang Emperor in Shanggu County to handle military farming affairs. Among many old ministers, Zaobutang has made great contributions."

"That's natural, otherwise why would those old officials regard Zaobutang as the leader?"

Ren Yong whispered: "Zaobutang has a deep experience and great contributions. She has always been strong. Wangbutang has a low experience and has not made enough contributions. She can't raise her head in front of Zaobutang and can't fight at all. If the emperor had not demanded to keep the Northwest Business in this way, the situation would be really hard to say."

Sima Yi nodded slowly, then frowned again.

"Zaobutang has always been a confidant of the Emperor, and it is also the Emperor's policy to run a business in the northwest. How could Zaobutang oppose the Emperor's policy so much? I can't figure it out."

Ren Yong smiled helplessly.

"It's interesting to say that. Since Zaobutang became the Supreme Emperor, she has been in charge of military farming affairs. She has been in charge of military farming for decades and has made achievements all over the world. All military farms in the world have the hard work of Zaobutang. Zaobutang attaches great importance to this matter.

It is said that Zaobutang is very dissatisfied with the large number of farmers in the northwest doing business and not focusing on farming. He believes that this is a move to waste the money and end, which will make farmers lazy, cunning, selfish, and devote themselves to making money and goods, thereby affecting the atmosphere of the entire Wei State."

Sima Yi was stunned for a moment, and the reason for accidentally discovering Zao Zhi was quite reasonable.

In recent years, there have been endless commercial cases of intrigue among merchants in the Annan Protectorate's Office. Some things are so bizarre that Sima Yi's nature is very shocked and people feel sinister.

This was unimaginable in the past.

"What Zaobutang said... may not be unreasonable."

Sima Yi looked at Ren Yong.

Ren Yong hesitated for a moment.

"Actually, I think so, but what I said on the other hand makes sense. The northwest climate is bitter and cold. No matter how hard I work, the food I get in the fields is not as much as the Central Plains. If I don't do business, I can't support so many people. People have to eat."

Sima Yi weighed the pros and cons of the two sides, and felt it was indeed very difficult to make a decision.

The current situation was still fought for by the emperor, which shows that the emperor was not willing to give up the Northwest Business and chose to stand on their side, but the conditions were relatively harsh.
