Chapter 813: Something Happened to the Thirty-Three Heavens (Second Update)
"My lord, now the business of the Thirty-Three Heavens has been greatly suppressed. In some places, there have even been cases of blatant smashing and looting. Zou Fengchi opened his mouth and said to Li Tai.
Since Li Shimin's ascension to the throne, there has never been any problem with the Thirty-Three Heavens. After all, everyone in the world knows that these thirty-three heavens have Li Shimin's shares.
But now that Li Shimin has dominated Bintian, the new emperor Li Zhi has become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, the shares of Thirty-Three Heavens naturally all returned to Li Tai's hands.
However, what Li Tai didn't expect was that just a few months had passed. There are even people who have a hand on the thirty-three worlds.
"Have you sent someone to investigate, who is behind the scenes?" Li Tai opened his mouth and asked Zou Fengchi.
"After the incident, my subordinates ordered someone to start an investigation. The people who do things are all instigated by the five surnames and seven sects. Zou Fengchi said to Li Tai.
The five surnames and seven sects are secretly doing things, and Li Tai can imagine it. After all, now Li Tai has become their sworn enemy, and it has even reached the point of not dying.
"How big is the loss of the Thirty-Three Heavens now, and have you thought of a strategy to deal with it?" Li Tai opened his mouth and Zou Fengchi asked.
"Back to my lord, the loss of the Thirty-Three Heavens this time is very heavy. Naturally, a lot of countermeasures were thought of, including proposing to the government to detain the troublemakers. ”
"It's just that for some reason, only a small number of places have detained the troublemakers. And most of the places have adopted procrastination. Zou Fengchi said.
Hearing Zou Fengchi say this, Li Tai couldn't think about it without thinking about it. Because the matter is already too obvious, the government can shield those who make trouble.
Behind that is not only the five surnames and seven sects, I am afraid that there is an even more terrifying person behind it. And this person is definitely not just an important minister in the court.
In fact, Li Tai had already thought that the person who could comprehensively attack the Thirty-Three Heavens was probably only one person in Datang. That is the current emperor Li Zhi.
But Li Tai believes that Li Zhi will never do such a thing. So who did this kind of thing in the name of Li Zhi, I'm afraid there is only Wu Ze alone.
"I didn't expect her to be so impatient, it seems that she feels that this king has threatened her position." Li Tai smiled and said to himself.
Hearing Li Tai's words, Liu Renliang opened his mouth and asked Li Tai: "Lord, is the person behind this the emperor?" ”
In fact, at this time, Liu Renliang's heart was also extremely surprised. Even he couldn't believe that Li Zhi would do such a thing.
But from Li Tai's tone, it can be heard that this person is probably the current emperor. Otherwise, Li Tai would not have said that it would threaten his position.
"Liu Xiang, although this matter is not operated by the emperor behind the scenes. But his queen can't say for sure. Li Tai said with a smile.
"Lord, the queen is your sister-in-law, how can she secretly stumble on your lord?" Cheng Tieniu opened his mouth and asked Li Tai.
"The royal family has no affection, don't you know this truth? Now the strength of this king has threatened the current emperor. Even if the emperor believes that the king will not do anything disobedient. ”
"But there are those who do not think so, and they must be planning to weaken the king's power now. And the collapse of the thirty-three heavens is tantamount to cutting off the king's financial route. Li Tai said.
"My lord, if that's what you say. Then I'm afraid this matter will not be easy to handle. Xu Liang opened his mouth and said to Li Tai.
"What's so hard to deal with, Zou Fengchi, immediately order all the thirty-three heavens to cease business. And all the goods that can be transported back will be transported back, and those that cannot be transported back will be destroyed on the spot. All personnel withdrew to Youzhou. Li Tai opened his mouth and said to Zou Fengchi.
"My lord, if we do this, our losses will be immeasurable. Please also think twice before acting. Zou Fengchi opened his mouth and said to Li Tai.
"Since people have already drawn their debut, then we naturally have to have a countermeasure. You can't go down the path that someone else has drawn. Li Tai said.
"My lord, most of the sales of goods today come mainly from the state capitals. If we cease to operate on the 33rd Heaven, I am afraid that there will be a great pressure on our economy. Liu Renliang said to Li Tai.
"Liu Xiang, what you said is certainly very reasonable. But you have overlooked an important factor, and that is that the goods sold by the Thirty-Three Heavens have now become a necessity for the people. ”
"And those luxuries are the favorites of those in the upper class. What do you think they'll do if they suddenly can't get these things? Li Tai asked.
"Even if they need the goods, we've stopped selling them. What can they do, will they come to Youzhou to buy it? Liu Renliang asked puzzled.
"Liu Xiang is right, they will definitely come to Youzhou to buy. Although it is impossible for the people to come from thousands of miles away, the merchants of the state capitals will not give up this business opportunity. Li Tai nodded and said.
"The subordinates of the lord understood that this is the relationship between the retail industry and the wholesale industry that the lord once said. Today our retail industry has been hit, but it can be converted to wholesale. ”
"Although our profits will be lower, we will be able to increase our sales, so in the end, I am afraid that the remuneration will increase instead of decreasing." Zou Fengchi said.
"It is worthy of being the financial secretary of my Yan Kingdom (now Li Tai is understaffed, so business and finance are not separated. This business sense is still very sensitive. Li Tai nodded and said to Zou Fengchi.
"The lord really has a clever plan, not only will it not let us lose anything, but it will also make some people have a grudge against the five surnames and seven sects." Xu Liang said to Li Tai with a smile.
"Actually, we still have a certain loss, after all, those black revenues (profits from casinos and brothels) will also be lost because of this." Zou Fengchi opened his mouth and said to everyone.
"Those industries are not on the right path after all, and it's time to end. After all, in the territory of Yan Kingdom, there are no such black industries. Li Tai said.
As early as a few years ago, Li Tai began to rectify the black industry such as the subject country. Nowadays, no one dares to blatantly do black business anymore.
……
In the state capitals of Datang, there was a notice of the closure of the 33rd Heaven at the same time. This can't help but surprise everyone.
Even when Wu Ze received the news, he couldn't help but be surprised. She never thought that Li Tai would give up these industries anyway. After all, it was Li Tai's cash cow.
And Wu Ze's real purpose is to get the shares of Thirty-Three Heavens. And everything he did was for Lee Tae to see. Without the protection of the emperor, the thirty-three heavens would not be able to withstand the pressure of the five surnames and seven sects at all.
And this Wu Ze's ambition is not ordinary, she is not ready to be like Li Shimin, only get 30% of the profit. is ready to share fifty-five with Li Tai, and even wants to get a higher profit than Li Tai.
However, Li Tai not only did not share the profits of the Thirty-Three Heavens to Li Zhi. On the contrary, it also directly ended the business of Thirty-Three Days. This inevitably made Wu Ze feel a little embarrassed.
