Chapter 2463: When the whole body moved, slandering the city, Lin'an was shocked
"ah?"
After hearing Shen Mo's words, Yang Yanbin, Ouyang Mingzhou and even Zhang Yiru were all stunned at this time! "I didn't expect these people to fight back so quickly, and they were so busy in action!"
In an instant, Miss Zhang Yiru thought to herself: Being able to do such a big thing, even let the tea merchants in Lin'an act together, is not something that a loose tea merchant in various places can do! This shows that some people in the court have begun to fight back against Tongzhou! When she thought of this, Zhang Yiru's heart suddenly sank.
The girl had already thought of the consequences of this tea merchant group's fierce attack after colluding with internal and external forces! Sure enough, the teacher immediately said in a deep voice: "According to the news from Lin'an, after the tea merchants in Lin'an stopped selling, it has caused a boiling public in Lin'an, and this momentum is developing towards the surrounding prefectures and counties, with an increasing trend."
… “Seven things to open since ancient times: firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea…” Shen Mo said slowly at this time: “When new tea is on the market, people with a little savings will usually pick up this time and sell all the teas they use for a year.”
"At this time, there is no tea to sell on the market, which will immediately cause dissatisfaction among residents and even cause turmoil in the hearts!"
"Not only that, there are now people in the Lin'an market that have begun to spread rumors that Tongzhou merchants went to various places to disrupt the market and instigated tea farmers to fight against tea merchants and government officials, which has caused normal tea trading to fail.
Therefore, Lin'an has no supply of tea."
"There are many people who listen to the wind and rain, and they will definitely believe this news."
When Shen Mo said this, the expression on his face was neither worried nor angry, but rather dull, just like an outsider talking about this.
"At the same time," Shen Mo continued: "There is a newspaper in Lin'an City run by the literary Qingliu and aristocratic families, called "Scholars", and has also begun to publish tea trends in various places."
"They spread rumors and slandered them and tried their best to slander the merchants in Tongzhou.
It is said that our people borrowed the status of residents in economic zones that were not punished by the Song Dynasty, bullying men and women in various places and doing nonsense, and even the government did not see it."
"In the past few days, people have started to collude in the court, preparing to write a letter to Fuque.
I beg the emperor to cancel the Tongzhou Economic Zone in various places so that we will not harm the people... This is the situation now."
...After Shen Mo finished speaking, the emotions of the people in the room changed from the joy just now to frowning! Some of them were angry on their faces, while others were thinking hard.
At this time, Ouyang Mingzhou looked at him when he saw the commander-in-law, and saw him gritting his teeth and saying to Shen Mo: "It won't work if this continues!"
"These people are in a different way. We don't let them squeeze local tea farmers and want to break their monopoly.
In the end, they framed us as bullies and scoundrels!”
"If this continues, the people's emotions have been very excited because tea sales have stopped in Lin'an City.
Coupled with their intentional rumor and guidance, it is easy to turn our Tongzhou into a target of public resentment!”
"After this, a large number of people in the court jumped out and strongly opposed us..." "At that time, once the Tongzhou Economic Zone was cancelled by the court, the people we sent to various places to collect tea will lose their legal protection!"
"At that time, in all parts of the Song Dynasty, the current good situation will be in a flash... All our previous efforts will be in vain!"
"Yes, that's what's happening now."
When he heard Ouyang Mingzhou's words, Shen Mo nodded in admiration.
Then he asked Ouyang Mingzhou, "What should we do in your opinion?"
When Ouyang Mingzhou heard Shen Mo's question, he was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at the sky with his eyes and started to think hard.
Seeing this smart young man, Shen Mo couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart.
Now these people he has trained are smart and wise, and everyone has a flexible mind.
What's even more gratifying is that Shen Mo has left the idea of protecting the nation and the people in their hearts.
These young people from Tongzhou have completely gotten rid of the thoughts of the monarch and ministers and have the ability to distinguish right from wrong!... Then, Ouyang Mingzhou in front of him suddenly shook his whole body! His raised face immediately lowered, and at this moment, a light of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes! "Tea!"
Just when Ouyang Mingzhou said these two words, Shen Mo heard behind him, Zhang Yiru and Yang Yanbin, who were standing on the left and right, breathing a sigh of relief at the same time! Obviously, his two personal disciples had long thought of a solution to the problem.
So when Ouyang Mingzhou thought of this, their two disciples were happy for him! At this moment, Ouyang Mingzhou was surprised and said: "As long as we transport the tea we received from various places to Lin'an and other prefectures and counties that have formed a trend, we can immediately break down those rumors!"
"First of all, once our tea is on the market, it can immediately calm the anger in the hearts of those people who have no tea."
"Secondly, when they found out that they bought tea, the price was extremely cheap, even half that of previous years... They immediately understood that this was the benefit Tongzhou had obtained for them!"
"After this, as long as we guide appropriately in the newspaper and publish and reveal the monopoly of tea shops in various places, the residents of Lin'an will immediately understand one thing."
"It turns out that most of the money they spent on tea these years fell into the hands of those monopoly oligarchs.
It is the money they spent over the years that fattened up the lucrative businessmen like the Lu family!”
"At this time, as long as we make a little publicity, the Lin'an people will know that the ministers in the court who made unfair interest in monopoly oligarchs are actually the backers behind the lucrative businessmen like the Lu family."
"Those ministers were fed by the tea merchants with silver, so they jumped out to oppose Tongzhou at this time!"
"So as long as we ship new tea to the market, we will immediately break the rumors and reverse this trend of opposition to us!"
...After hearing Ouyang Mingzhou's words, except for Wei Kaiyang, who only had bombs in his head and knew nothing about the economy, almost everyone else understood Ouyang Mingzhou's plan.
At this time, everyone's mood was also excited, and everyone secretly admired Ouyang Mingzhou.
