Hearing this, Old Master Wang laughed.
"Of course not. Why would I let everyone oppose the Imperial Court?”
Hearing Old Master Wang's words, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
As long as it was not against the imperial court, it was fine.
"Then what does Master Wang mean?"
"We can't register!"
"If we go and register, then our necks will be stuck in the hands of the Imperial Court."
"When the imperial court asks us to give birth, we'll give birth."
"If the Imperial Court wants us to die, we must die!”
"In this way, what's the point of everyone living?”
Hearing Old Master Wang's words,
Everyone looked at each other.
"But if you disobey the imperial court's decree, you will be beheaded!”
"Who said we're going against the imperial court's decree?”
Old Master Wang's face was filled with a confident smile as he said,
Wasn't this considered disobeying the imperial court's decree?
"We're just delaying the registration for a few days. It's not like we're not going to register. What are you afraid of?”
"Besides, the law doesn't punish the masses!"
Old Master Wang slowly stated his purpose,
Everyone's eyes lit up.
That's right!
It's not that I don't want to register, but I'm just delaying the registration for a few days.
Besides, with so many people around,
Are you going to kill us all?
He immediately calmed down,
He had made up his mind not to go to the tax office to register!
Then, he would continue to open his business!
Soon, these wealthy merchants came to an agreement. None of them would register.
Moreover, he still had to continue operating.
After making the decision,
Everyone no longer felt burdened.
We should eat and drink,
A banquet for the rich began.
The next day, Zhu Yunye received a report from the Jinyiwei.
After learning that there were very few merchants who registered with the tax bureau,
Zhu Yunye did not care.
The ministers had long expected such a situation.
They were all waiting to see Zhu Yunye make a fool of himself.
Zhu Yunye called Yu Huatian over.
"Go to all the shops in Jin Ling City that are not registered."
"Capture them all!"
"Behead him if you need to. Don't be soft-hearted!”
Yu Huatian, who received the order, said,
A bloodthirsty light flashed in his eyes.
"This servant will obey!"
He bowed and left.
Zhu Yunye knew very well,
The reform was not a treat.
We must use heavy punishment,
If he was merciful now,
Then they would only think that they were weak and easy to bully.
When the time comes, it will only get worse.
They would not have the slightest fear for him!
After receiving the order, Yu Huatian brought hundreds of Brocade Guards to the streets of Jinling.
He checked the shops one by one.
They found that those who were not registered but were still operating,
Yu Huatian did not stand on ceremony with them.
He directly captured them.
He pressed it on the street.
After reading Zhu Yunye's decree in public,
And beheaded them,
The passers-by were so frightened that they screamed,
After killing a few merchants in succession,
The remaining merchants were so scared that they quickly closed their shops and did not dare to continue their business.
That night,
This group of people came to Old Master Wang's residence again.
He anxiously asked Old Master Wang for advice.
Master Wang didn't expect Zhu Yunye to be so ruthless.
He wanted to kill someone just because of a disagreement!
He could only comfort these merchants.
"In that case, let's join forces and strike!”
"Strike?"
"Yes, a strike!"
"All of us are not doing business for the time being,"
"Didn't the imperial grandson ask the merchants to register before they could open for business?”
"Then we might as well not register or open for business!”
Hearing Old Master Wang's words,
Everyone said anxiously,
"But what are we going to eat and drink when it's closed?”
Old Master Wang couldn't help but feel anxious.
What a bunch of short-sighted people.
But now, they were still needed.
He could only patiently explain to them,
"It's only temporary."
"As long as we're both closed,"
"The entire Jin Ling city will be paralyzed."
"The commoners have no place to buy things."
"When the time comes, it will cause turmoil."
"The Imperial Court will naturally be anxious."
"Once the Imperial Court is anxious, they will naturally give up on registering us."
"Then, they'll beg us to do business. At that time, the initiative will be in our hands!”
"Everyone, the temporary forbearance is for the sake of better development in the future!”
"You have to look further ahead!"
Hearing Old Master Wang's words,
Everyone was enlightened.
They all praised Old Master Wang's brilliant methods.
Then, he went back in satisfaction.
The next day, all the shops in Jin Ling city were closed.
The things in the hands of the commoners could not be sold.
There was no place to buy the daily necessities that he wanted to buy.
All of a sudden, everyone in Jin Ling City was panicking.
After Zhu Yunye received the news, he said,
He smiled coldly with disdain.
He had long expected this group of people to do this.
"Men!"
Yu Huatian quietly appeared beside Zhu Yunye.
"Your Highness, what are your orders?"
"Go and paste the notice I wrote at the city gate. Then find someone who can read it to the merchants."
"Yes!"
Soon, a notice appeared at the gates of Jinling.
"All registered merchants, as long as they have a clean background and are kind..."
"You can apply to the imperial court to become an imperial merchant!”
What was an imperial merchant? What good would it do to become an imperial merchant?
Everyone was confused.
After some explanation,
Only then did everyone understand.
It turned out that after becoming a royal merchant,
These merchants could have the right to bargain in Jinling and even the entire Ming Dynasty.
However, correspondingly…
After becoming a royal merchant,
Other than the taxes that should have been paid,
And half of the profits would be given to the royal family.
The notice had been sent out.
It caused a huge commotion in Jin Ling city.
Countless merchants flocked to the tax office.
They all wanted to register and become royal merchants.
Although becoming an imperial merchant required one to hand over half of the profits…
However, these merchants were very clear in their hearts.
Royal merchants could do business, no matter how big or small.
The profits were astonishing!
Soon, many merchants in Jin Ling City registered with the tax bureau.
Zhu Yunye also fulfilled his promise.
He arranged for these merchants to be in various industries in Jin Ling city.
They replaced the original merchants.
As for those merchants who had not registered,
They started to panic.
He could no longer care about what Master Wang had said. As long as he stretched out this period of time,
If the imperial court would beg him,
They were all fighting to go to the tax office to register.
In an instant, the entire tax office was filled with people.
Every day, the officials in charge of the ranks,
They were all so busy,
The officials looked at the changes in Jinling.
All of them were so shocked that their jaws dropped.
He didn't expect such a troublesome matter.
Zhu Yunye actually resolved it so easily!
