In the dyeing house of Xinghua Lane.
Usually, this place was just an inconspicuous cloth dyeing shop. However, tonight, it was already midnight, but in the backyard of this cloth dyeing shop, a candle flame was so conspicuous in the night.
And in this small house.
It was actually crowded with people. Some of them were dressed in servant clothes, some were dressed in servant clothes, and some were even dressed in gorgeous clothes. There was an old man who was sitting at the highest point of the house, and a few people who were about 20 years old standing at the door.
At this time, they were looking at the old man in the lead respectfully.
The old man didn't seem to want to talk. He sat steadily at the head of the table, sipping tea from time to time.
"Have you all found out about this matter? What do you think about this matter? "
Everyone heard this.
He hurriedly replied, "Your Excellency, we've already dealt with it cleanly. We've already greeted all the merchants who are related to us, and we've settled everything on the trade route. As long as we give the order, all the materials piled up in Chang 'an will cause the entire city to fall into chaos!"
"And these businessmen have promised that they will create public opinion at the critical moment …"
"Okay, okay!"
The old man waved his hand impatiently.
"I just want to know if you've dealt with it. I only want the result!"
"Yes!"
"I've also dealt with it here!"
"We're just waiting for the Sir's order!"
"…"
After everyone gave their assurances, the old man put down the teacup and said with a smile, "Good! In that case, let's get started! This time, Li Shimin was still kept in the dark. This is worthy of praise. When I go back, I'll definitely report this to the higher-ups! I will also truthfully report your contributions to the higher-ups! "
"Thank you very much, Sir!"
After saying this, the old man turned an emerald ring in his hand and said coldly, "You want to go against my Guanlong Group? Li Shimin, I'm afraid you've forgotten how the Sui Dynasty fell. You've probably forgotten how your Li family climbed up, haven't you? "
"Everyone, get ready tonight. Tomorrow, I only want to hear the news of chaos in Chang 'an City!"
"Yes!"
"…"
Night fell.
It was a restless night.
But the night would eventually pass.
The night would eventually pass. When the sun shone on Chang 'an City again, a strange atmosphere suddenly spread in Chang' an City.
A rumor suddenly appeared on the streets of Xinghua Square in Chang 'an.
"Have you heard? These merchants were going to suffer a huge loss this time! I heard that the big countries in the Western Regions have forbidden our merchants from entering! "
"What?!"
"Then what about my goods? I've already put in all my savings! "
"Who isn't? The batch of goods I'm importing from Zhenla is finished. Those are saltwater fish! If we don't deal with this quickly, then … "
"What should we do?"
"What else can we do? Isn't this the real thing that the government wants us to buy? Now that they don't want it anymore, we have to go to the authorities! If they can lend us the money, it means that they can definitely handle this matter! "
Someone in the crowd roared. In an instant, all the merchants flocked to the temporary government office of the Ministry of Works, as if they had found their backbone.
And this matter was still fermenting, as if there was a hand stirring the muddy water.
Everyone rushed to the direction of the Chang 'an City Treasury like crazy.
There were even some people who were pulling their goods and shouting in the city. They were howling about how the officials were not giving them a good life, and what not.
And at this time.
At this time, urgent reports were also placed on Li Shimin's desk.
"Urgent document from Longyou Circuit! All the Guanlong Trading Company in Longyou Circuit issued a notice at the same time. From today onwards, all the trading routes will be suspended, and the five families and seven major clans will jointly impose economic sanctions on Chang 'an! "
"Urgent report from Shannan Circuit!"
"Li Family of Longxi, one of the five families and seven major clans, today suspends the sale of food to Chang 'an. All the branches are banned from trading with Chang' an!"
"Jiannan Circuit …"
"Hebei Circuit …"
"Henan Circuit …"
"Jiangnan Circuit …"
The urgent reports made Li Shimin's face completely gloomy.
"Guanlong Trading Company, are you in such a hurry to suppress me?"
"Do you really think I'm not prepared for your suppression?"
Li Shimin was angry.
If it weren't for Zhang Feng's guidance, he might not have realized the seriousness of this matter until now. But now, he was prepared, so he was not in such a hurry to deal with it.
With a wave of his hand, Li Shimin shouted, "What's the situation in Chang 'an today?"
Hearing this, a small yellow door outside the imperial study hurried in, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, there are a lot of rumors in the room. The officials are dealing with the angry people."
"Now, all the people are at the gate of the Chang 'an City Treasury. Lord Fang and Lord Zhangsun have sent people to deal with this matter in person …"
"Good, good, good!"
A strong killing intent burst out of Li Shimin's eyes.
He waved his hand and shouted, "Send my order. Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin, and the others immediately enter the palace and send a message to the Chang 'an City Garrison. Immediately gather 50,000 soldiers and wait for orders!"
"Yes!"
