Chapter 561: Dont make merchants miserable(2/2)
It cannot be said that this matter cannot be stopped, because everyone hopes to continue to rely on this open-center system and make money from generation to generation.
Zhu Fan said loudly: "How did I hear that under the Kaizhong system, the merchants of Shanxi Road made a lot of money? Changsun Fantai, is this true?"
As he spoke, Zhu Fan had already turned his head and looked at Changsun Gong inquiringly.
Changsun Gongtai had an unnatural smile on his face: "It should... be like this."
The King of Jin has ruled Taiyuan since the eleventh year of Hongwu. It has been almost twenty years. Even if he does not know everything about Shanxi Road, he can always hear the rumors.
"oh?"
Zhu Yunxi looked curious and said unexpectedly: "Originally, the imperial court thought that under the open-China system, merchants transporting grain and grass to the border would have to lose money. Even if they didn't lose money, they could only make some hard-earned money.
The imperial court also knew that it was not easy for everyone, even if they made a little money, they would make a profit, so they couldn't ask people to work on errands without giving everyone enough to eat.
What? From what I heard from Third Uncle and Fan Tai, there are other things that the court doesn’t know about?"
Zhou Yunkun saw that Chang Sun Gong seemed to have difficulty answering, so he spoke from the side: "Your Highness must also know that businessmen have been pursuing profits since ancient times. These people dare not do anything in front of the court, nor do they dare to disobey the king's law. But they can't stand these people.
They increase their own profits from other sources, such as deducting wages and food from hired workers, or suppressing small businessmen by big businessmen. Generally speaking, these people make a lot of money."
Anyway, it is still unknown what the Shanxi Road will look like after tonight.
After everyone left the main hall and went outside, just waiting for the fireworks to light up and turn into sparks all over the night sky, it was time for the incident to start.
Zhou Yunkun felt that even if he told the truth at this time, it would not hinder what happened next.
As long as he can hold Zhu Yunxi back and prevent him from leaving in anger, that's all.
"It's not an exaggeration to say that he didn't deceive the court or bully the people." Zhu Yunxi shook his head, lowered his head and pinched the wine bottle.
"Drink! Drink!"
Zhu Yunxi slapped the table and invited everyone to drink together.
After drinking for three rounds, Shi, the head of the Jin Palace, walked up behind Zhu Fan and whispered a few times.
Zhu Fan raised his head and looked at everyone with a smile on his face.
"Everything is ready. After watching the fireworks, we are going to watch the show. Brother Hei, will you all go over and watch together?"
Zhu Yunxi shouted: "Okay!"
After finishing speaking, he put his hands on the table and slowly stood up. It seemed that he had really drunk too much, so that he was a little staggered.

However, Zhu Yunxi waved his hand, and with drunken eyes, he staggered to the middle of Changsun Gong and Zhou Yunkun.
He spread his arms and put them on their shoulders with a snap.
Then, smelling of alcohol, he smiled and turned around to look at the two of them: "Gu Bu Ceng has drunk too much, let's go out to watch a show together!"
Changsun Gong and Zhou Yunkun were stiff and did not dare to make any big moves. They saw Zhu Fan looking at them, as if to tell them not to panic.
In this way, the two of them supported Zhu Yunxi and walked out of the palace.
Outside the palace, there is the huge Jin Prince's Mansion with many palaces.
Far away from the palace hall where Prince Jin's birthday banquet was held today, there were countless people serving the banquet.
A small courtyard is temporarily used to store goods today.
There was silence at the moment.
Three groups of people obviously dressed differently gathered together.
"The Taibao has already told us that when the fireworks are lit and the fireworks soar into the sky, it will be time for us to take action. At that time, we will act according to the plan, create chaos, and arrest Zhu Yunxi, Zhu Fan and others."
The person opposite immediately spoke in a low voice: "My master said, everything has been arranged in advance. When the time comes, Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Fan will go to the theater to watch the fireworks, and the theater troupe will create chaos. You will form a siege and we will wait.
The outside will cover you and move people away from Prince Jin's Mansion."
"Can you kill someone?"
A somewhat slurred Chinese language came from the mouth of a bearded man.
The two people in front were stunned and looked at this barbarian and reckless man from outside the pass.
"Except Zhu Yunxi and Zhu Fan, everyone else can be killed!"
"That's good."
