Chapter 415 This wave is the rich leeks
System: [First, let’s talk about the old emperor of Chu. After this guy came to power, he has been eyeing Daxia. When King Xiping established this free trade zone, the old emperor of Chu sent many merchants to act as pegs. At that time, half of the first batch of merchants came from Chu.]
The King of Linjiang and the King of Hengshan were nervous: !!!
They also have a share in this free trade zone! Is it so complicated? !
Yuanruan was also shocked: [Ah? So many people holding us back?]
System: [Hmm... this isn't a hindrance, is it? To be honest, if it weren't for this group of spies, the free trade zone of King Xiping would have been completed at least three years later. And it's not King Xiping's fault that they didn't find out. The caravans in this world travel all over the world, visiting several countries, and it's hard to check. King Xiping is already very cautious, otherwise he would have been designed by the old emperor of Chu. ]
Crowd: …
Yuan Ruan was silent for a while, and disagreed: [Tong'er, the Second Prince's men can still deceive the powerful. And these are just the Second Prince's men! ]
System: [How can he compare with the Second Prince! ]
Yuanruan: [……]
Those who have heard about the second prince's deeds can't help but agree.
Those who had not heard of the Second Prince's glorious deeds were confused: If the Second Prince was so awesome, why was he driven away?
The system said: [A Ruan, let me continue. Originally, the old emperor of Chu State made such a big move just to gather intelligence, but after the second prince came out of nowhere, he was too aggressive in blackmailing and extortion, and those powerful people were scared, so they passively slacked off in their work of gathering intelligence. The old emperor of Chu State thought this place was useless, and it happened that the fourth prince of Chu State had made a contribution, so he gave this place to the fourth prince of Chu State since he had nothing to reward him with.]
The system continued: [After investigation, the fourth prince of Chu discovered that the merchants and powerful people of Chu had deep roots in the fiefdom of King Xiping. If they were to cause trouble and bring in a wave of people, it would cause great trouble to King Xiping. Then he began to act.]
Yuanruan: [How to operate? ]
System: [For example, he used the wealthy merchants in the fiefdom of King Xiping to continuously raise the holiday near the duty-free zone, tempting King Xiping and his subordinates to borrow money to speculate in real estate, and then let the wealthy merchants withdraw their investment, causing the housing prices to plummet, and let the rich people in King Xiping's territory chase each other for debts and hate each other... Anyway, when King Xiping's stall is in tatters, the Fourth Prince of Chu will contact King Xiping and pull him into the game.]
The system also detailed the highest and lowest prices of the real estate speculation group, as well as the wealthy businessmen who ran away.
Now, not only the Minister of Revenue took out his little notebook, but Prime Minister Li, Prime Minister Wang, the Minister of Personnel, and the Minister of Justice were all writing down the names of those merchants and the powerful families behind them.
Yuan Ruan listened and couldn't help but ask: [He is trying to crash the real estate market here, isn't he worried that my brother will take action?]
System: [He is not worried. Well, I think even if your brother knew, he would not save the real estate market.]
When Yuan Ruan heard this, she was about to say, "How is that possible! That's the real estate market!" But she suddenly came to her senses. This is Daxia... The national conditions are different.
She also took a sip of juice: [Hiss, I think I think so too. ]
The civil officials agreed with this, but the military generals did not understand.
In their view, the State of Chu has come to cause trouble! Since the State of Chu wants to crash the real estate market, they must save it no matter what, and cannot let their conspiracy succeed.
Several military officers were sitting on pins and needles, but Prime Minister Wang beside them couldn't bear to see these men dancing on their buttocks.
Prime Minister Wang whispered, "That's because the housing prices near the free trade zone are so high. They are sold to merchants with small assets, and ordinary people can't afford them. In other words, it's the merchants of the lower nine classes who are being unkind and rich, and they deserve it. Secondly, Daxia's fiscal revenue mainly comes from land tax and head tax. Daxia doesn't make money by selling land, and the real estate market can't affect Daxia's treasury revenue..."
Prime Minister Wang said a few more points, and the general was stunned for a moment, and finally he understood.
The system chuckled: [Hehe, Ah Ruan and I have similar views. Especially since this place is still in the fiefdom of the princes, it will be convenient for your brother to send troops to take it back if it collapses. With so many factors, the fourth prince of Chu judged that even if your brother knew that the real estate market had collapsed, he would probably not do something that would be thankless.]
Yuan Ruan couldn't help but touch his chin: [As expected of the son of destiny, he has something. So he is cutting the rich this time, oh no, the leeks of those wealthy people who support the King of Xiping?! ]
