Chapter 386 Amazing Energy (Please Subscribe)
What happened to Prince Zhongshun and the brothers Jia Lian and Jia Cong was not an isolated case.
The rest of the clan bosses, as well as the foreign procurement of noble forces, have all encountered such troubles to a greater or lesser extent.
Not only that, the transportation of purchased materials also encountered some troubles and interference.
I don’t know why, but there are suddenly more disturbances in the place.
The result is naturally that the transportation efficiency and speed of purchased materials are affected.
This situation naturally makes the bosses quite unhappy.
In fact, by this time, everyone knew what was going on, but no one seemed to be worried about something because of how big a fuss this matter made.
Jia Huan, who was in the period of observing filial piety, naturally got the news immediately.
I was so surprised in my heart, I didn't expect those guys to be so courageous.
It’s just blatantly causing trouble!
I just don’t know, is there any instruction from the current emperor behind it?
He actually felt that it was unlikely that the current emperor would get involved.
After all, the current emperor also has territory outside the sea.
If you go too far, who knows what kind of revenge you will encounter in the future?
I really thought that the royal family bosses were all soft persimmons. This was probably the first time they had encountered such a thing.
No one can guarantee whether they will join forces to cause trouble for the current emperor after they react, or whether they will cause trouble for the current emperor's overseas territories.
Jia Huan squinted his eyes and was not anxious at all. He planned to wait and see like the big guys.
It's a pity that he can sit firmly on Diaoyutai, but Xue Pan does not have such confidence.
On this day, Xue Pan came to visit quietly, talking about this matter.
The Xue Family Trading Company's collection of supplies was also disrupted and hindered, mainly due to the sudden increase in prices, which made him quite confused and embarrassed.
Originally, I thought I had been tricked by those partners, and I was filled with anger.
After all, they are all old friends who have worked together for many years. It is difficult to accept that they are here suddenly.
However, the newlywed wife Yingchun felt that there might be something wrong, and suggested that he should come to Jia Huan to inquire about the situation, so as not to act blindly and ruin Jia Huan's plan.
Xue Pan listened very much, and Baba ran over.
"By the way, the Xue family owns a lot of fields and workshops, right?"
After letting Xue Pan sit down and serve tea, Jia Huan asked slowly: "The Xue family can provide most of the large resources needed by the Xue family business, right?"
What does it mean to be a wealthy businessman? The Xue family is an out-and-out typical representative.
The family owns an astonishing number of fields, as well as numerous workshops of various types.
In short, they are self-sufficient in all aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation, which is quite an exaggeration.
"Despite this, we still need to purchase a small amount of supplies to complete the mission!"
Xue Pan argued: "There are a lot of these materials. Once the price increases, the cost will rise a lot, and there won't be much profit. You can't do it in vain, right?"
"Then you haven't thought about whether other companies can provide the materials that need to be purchased from outside?"
Jia Huan smiled and said: "Are we going to find a way to tap the potential internally? As long as the four major families can solve the trouble, there is no need to make too much noise. Don't fall into the scheme of some guys!"
"Brother Huan, when you say this, I feel confident!"
Xue Pan clapped his hands and said with a smile: "The other three companies can really provide all the materials that the Xue family business needs to purchase from outside, but they have never done so before!"
"Then let's take this opportunity to integrate the resources of our four major families!"
Jia Huan chuckled and said: "No matter what force wants to make trouble, let's just not have contact with them!"
"As for the obstacles that may be encountered on the road, try to take the water route as well as the newly opened sea route!"
Xue Pan nodded repeatedly to express his understanding, with a cold and fierce light in his eyes: "Brother Huan, although we can handle the trouble internally, we can't make those guys feel better!"
"I am very sure of that!"
Jia Huan laughed and said leisurely: "Some guys really think they can do whatever they want without resorting to some drastic measures. Go ahead and dream!"
As soon as the price increase came up, he was not idle.
"Awesome, how does this kid Jia Huan have such a brain?"
In the large study room of Prince Zhongshun's mansion, Prince Zhongshun's face was full of surprise and his voice was full of shock.
The palace encountered a price increase scandal, so he naturally wanted to find out more information.
As a result, the news he found shocked him. Not only Prince Zhongshun's Palace, but all the other clan leaders also encountered this kind of thing, as did Ning Rong's Second Palace.
Basically, all the forces with territories in the outer sea have encountered price increases.
At the same time, some of the situations he discovered made Prince Zhongshun angry, and he couldn't help but feel chilled in his heart.
He really didn't expect why the civil service group, including the cabinet, would suddenly take action?
Is this their own behavior, or was it inspired by the current emperor?
That's right, only the civil service group has such strength and confidence to spread its influence throughout Daqian to target clan bosses and noble forces, and is not afraid of settling the scores later.
On the contrary, the overseas pioneers, including Prince Zhongshun, had to weigh the consequences.
As for the purpose of the civil servant group's action, there is no need to delve too deeply into it. It is actually quite simple.
You definitely want more and greater power!
As a saying goes, power will not disappear, it will only shift!
Seeing that the clan bosses and the founding fathers of the country have joined forces and focused most of their energy on the outer sea and the southwest territories, they are no longer interested in matters in the court.
While the civil servants were envious and jealous, they naturally wanted to take most of the power in the hands of the clan and nobles, just like their counterparts in the previous Ming Dynasty.
If it can be done, then the civil service group will naturally gain huge profits!
As for using economic means to attack the clan and the founding fathers, they are not worried about the other party's retaliation.
If it were a serious economic war, they would naturally welcome it.
But if the clan and noble forces want to use their power to suppress others, then they are even more welcome.
The entire public opinion in Daqian is controlled by the civil servant group. How can I say that they will not be able to arrange it however they want?
Prince Zhongshun is not a fool. On the contrary, he is quite smart. He can naturally see this.
That’s why it felt quite tricky, and I couldn’t be more unhappy!
As for the authority in his hands, he will definitely not give it away!
Even if he really seals a vassal and establishes a country in his overseas territories in the future, and he himself leaves Daqian, the title and authority of the royal palace will still be inherited by one of his sons.
Just kidding, if you lose your authority and voice here in Daqian, how can you continue to harvest wool in the future?
Those civil servants have the guts to give him eye drops now. If they wait until the palace loses power, wouldn't they go even further?
If you refer to the clans of the Ming and Song dynasties, you will know how frustrating it was to live like that.
The original idea was to wait and see first, and wait until the other clans and noble forces couldn't stand it anymore, and then join forces to teach those ungrateful civil servants a profound lesson.
Especially Jia Huan, this kid, always has a lot of clever ideas. When the time comes, he will be invited to come over to discuss the charter.
Who knew, in a blink of an eye, Jia Huan would think of a way to resolve the problem internally.
The four major families in Jinling directly united to coordinate and operate all kinds of materials directly in their hands, and actually collected most of the needed materials.
This means and method are really eye-catching!
"Your Majesty, can we also follow suit?"
Palace Chief Shi chuckled and said: "What the four major families in Jinling can do, the princes of the clan can do better. The resources we have at our disposal are not comparable to those of the four major families in Jinling!"
Just kidding, the area and output of the imperial village controlled by the clan are quite exaggerated.
As for other supplies, do you really think that the Ministry of Internal Affairs is just for food?
As long as the current emperor does not express his position clearly, it is not difficult for the clan princes to unite and mobilize the resources of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and they can even embarrass the current emperor in this way.
But in this case, the only unlucky people are the people at the bottom.
They were originally able to share the benefits brought by their overseas expansion, but now the big bosses plan to integrate internally to solve the problem, so naturally they will not make large purchases outside.
Moreover, the prices of various supplies produced by the civil service group will not fall easily.
In the end, the unlucky ones are the people at the bottom, who have to bear the increased cost of living brought about by rising material prices for no reason.
Otherwise, what a carnivore!
Originally it was just a struggle for power among the powerful, but in the end it was the people at the bottom who were unlucky!
Of course, neither Prince Zhongshun nor the Palace Chief took this matter to heart at all.
That is to say, Jia Huan couldn't bear such a situation. He also wanted to teach some guys a profound lesson based on the rules set by the court.
Then, the civil servant group who was playing small tricks behind the scenes, or directly playing tricks, was surprised to see how the clan bosses and noble bosses dealt with their disgusting tricks.
Directly integrating resources internally can solve most material needs!
The reason why I didn't do this before was mainly due to subconscious precautions.
No matter which clan or powerful family it is, it is impossible for others to easily let others know about the resources and energy in their hands, otherwise they will not know how unlucky they are.
But isn’t there nothing we can do now?
If we don't join together, the extra money we need to pay every year will be at least tens of thousands.
No clan or noble family can withstand such an astonishing consumption!
This does not mean that the offshore territories have been well developed and will not need support from here in the future.
How can it be?
Unless they are satisfied with the current size of their offshore territory, if they want to expand the size of their territory, it is impossible to stop external blood transfusions. It is not known how long it will last.
If we have to pay a lot more every year, who can bear it as time goes by?
The civil service group obviously has good intentions, and it is obviously impossible for them to use crooked ways to make money.
Under such circumstances, if you run your own business honestly, your annual output will be certain.
Who knows, in which year I will no longer be able to hold on and fall behind, and there won’t be much hope of catching up in the future.
They don't know the importance of starting the industrial age, so they won't let go easily at this time.
