The biggest impact of Dan Tai Haoran's death on the merchants was to let them know that it would not seem like a difficult thing if someone wanted to take their lives. So that night, these merchants were so scared that they dared not go back to their homes, for fear that they would be like Dan Tai Haoran halfway, and they didn't even know how they died.

But they knew one thing, that was, the person who killed him was definitely not an ordinary person. After a brief discussion, they immediately knew the identity of this person. As soon as this identity came out, the businessmen were even scared to death, like ants on a hot pan and headless flies, and they had no idea what to do.

However, some of them calmed down first and immediately arranged people to search the entire yard. Except for a piece of paper found on the beam at the entrance of the lobby, there was no other special thing. After the merchants gathered around, the content on them made their hearts beat hard, because there were three words written on it: Those who disturbed the peace of the city! Kill! Kill! Kill!

The three blood-red killing words, but they couldn't help but feel chill in their hearts, and everyone was in danger.

So, this night was the longest night for these merchants.

The next morning, just as the merchants were relieved, some servants rushed over and said, "Dear masters, it's not good, there are many officers and soldiers coming from outside the door!"

The merchants were suddenly panicked and anxious, and some even proposed the idea of ​​escaping, but some people reminded you where to escape? Do you ignore your family's life and death? Those merchants who were about to escape were immediately as if they were beaten with eggplant by frost and suddenly became sad.

After careful thinking, these people decided to go out and take a look. After going out, they saw a team of wolf teeth standing outside, and the young general who was known as the God of Death. These businessmen, whose hearts had been calm for the time being, were immediately raised to their throats and looked at the person with trembling courage.

The person who came was Yang Kaiwu. When he saw that the merchants he was looking for were here, he was immediately happy. This saved a lot of trouble. So he grinned and said, "Everyone is here, that would be great. I can save you all of you looking for them one by one. Let's go, the city lord is welcome!"

However, Yang Kaiwu's smile turned into a sneer in the eyes of the merchants, and the words that were so rude that they looked for it became a death talisman, so the faces of the merchants changed again.

After a while, a businessman asked carefully: "General, I wonder when the city lord asked me to wait?"

Yang Kaiwu looked at the merchants coldly and said, "I don't know this, but there must be important things, otherwise you can ask you to go there? If you want to know something, don't you be careful to ask the city lord himself, don't you know it!

The businessman who asked the question couldn't even cry: I just gave me ten courage, so I didn't rush to ask!

Ignoring the changing expression on the merchant's face, Yang Kaiwu said coldly: "Everyone, please! If you ask the city lord to wait for a long time, he will be unhappy!"

After saying that, he said on the side of his mouth, "Please!"

The wolf teeth behind him took two steps back from the middle and gave way to a passage.

The merchant looked at me, and I looked at you, and they all saw a hint of fear and helplessness from the other party: the situation in front of him was not a request, but a escort was more appropriate. But he had to go. The people in front of him were famously cold-blooded. Maybe they were impatient, and their heads fell to the ground with their hands. After all, last night, Dan Tai Haoran lost his life in front of him.

On the way to the city lord's mansion, they saw many grain transport teams transporting the grain everywhere. This reminded them of their actions some time ago, and they suddenly became uneasy.

When they arrived at the City Lord's Mansion, they realized that it was not just them who came here today, but also some other businessmen. They felt a little more at ease. Under Yang Kaiwu's arrangement, they found a table to sit down.

And I saw the main businessmen who were making fun of this time upstairs, and knew it was time for me to come out, so I walked downstairs. Some of them rushed over with me overnight yesterday and they would form a new price, the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. At the same time, there was the "Price Law" they compiled, which was also the main purpose of my convening these businessmen today.

The Price Law is the first law I intend to promulgate. This sudden rise in grain prices made me realize the urgency of this matter. At the same time, I intend to use it as a basis to punish those merchants who hoard food, of course, forcibly implemented. I don’t care about human rights and no human rights, nor will I be ruthless. The reason why the law is not an airdrop check is because anyone who violates the law will be severely punished. Those people undoubtedly gave me a chance, and at the same time let those merchants who are still lucky see if this is a blank paper without any effect.

As soon as I got off the stairs, the merchants stood up together, then knelt down on the ground, and said, "City Lord!"

I frowned slightly. I was really not used to the etiquette of kneeling down when meeting. In the past, I had no choice but to kneel when facing the emperor, but now others kneel down. I was a little unaccustomed to it, so I immediately called them up.

After they got up, I sat at the top, first had a light sip of tea, then glanced at everyone sitting with my eyes, and then said: "Today I'll call you all, there are two main things! First, I plan to set up a department, the full name of this department is the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, which is responsible for managing and rectifying the market and cracking down on illegal operations. Second, I want to implement a new law in the city, called the "Price Law". As for the content, each of me has prepared a book. Please take a look!"

After saying that, I nodded and came out from behind, holding a stack of books in their hands, and each of them handed a copy.

These merchants were completely confused about the Industrial and Commercial Bureau and the Price Law. At that time, although the imperial court had a special place to not be able to manage these, in the following places, many local tax and commercial management rely entirely on local county officials, and at the same time there was no perfect law to manage these merchants. So when there were years of production cuts, illegal merchants often raised prices, making it even worse for the people who were already under the debt. However, the imperial court had no other good way to deal with it except opening warehouses and relieving grains. If the imperial court was anxious and the emperor gave an imperial edict, he could knock the man out, and there was no law as a criterion. As the basis for beheading, it was nothing more than harming the neighbors, bullying the people, and the evidence was conclusive. Anyway, it was to kill people, so there was no negotiation.

I plan to bring out all the laws of the original society during this period, but that is some of the things that happened later. Now my main purpose is to launch this "Price Law", which is mainly aimed at big merchants, and their effects are very limited for some small shops. The first reason is that their products are single and their strength is relatively weak. Once the price is raised, they may face no one's interest. So unless it is a very famous thing, generally speaking, their prices follow big merchants, and even be cheaper. Secondly, their products are relatively low, so I can't specify how much they must sell for a bun, right? But this does not mean that the "Price Law" does not use them, it is just that some terms are inappropriate.

The big merchants are different. This food crisis shows that big merchants have an important impact on commodity prices. Therefore, in order to restrain these merchants, in addition to using the price method, I also plan to let the chamber of commerce move into the city of heaven. On the one hand, this can expand the industry of the chamber of commerce, and on the other hand, it is like I dealing with those gangs, using merchants to build merchants. Just as in the military, the best way to deal with enemy nuclear submarines is a nuclear submarine that is more advanced than it.

Therefore, for these merchants, this "Price Law" is undoubtedly a sword that lies across their necks. Especially for the subsequent punishment regulations, there are the minor punishments of tens of thousands of taels of silver, the serious punishment of conviction and house search, etc., and they are even more frightened when they look at the merchants.

I guess it's almost time, so I smiled slightly and said, "What do you think of this method!"

"I object!"

A big voice came from the businessman below.

"Oh?" My face couldn't help but feel cold, and I said coldly: "Who is it! Come out!"

The man was not polite, and stood up in an instant and said, "I am the one who is in the lower world, and I will oppose the second method!"

"Very good!" I clapped my hands, then smiled slightly, and said, "I admire your courage very much, but...!"

I immediately sank and said, "The objection is invalid!"

After hearing what I said, Zhen Zizheng was stunned and said, "Why?"

“Not why?”

I shook my head slightly and said coldly: "Because I decided this law, even if someone opposes it, I will implement it without hesitation! If you want to verify whether this law is valid, you don't want to try it, I will give you this opportunity, but after you try it, I will also try whether the above punishment regulations can be implemented."

"Why are you?"

It seemed that he was a little angry and a little speechless.

"I am the city lord!"

Zhen Zizheng felt cold in his heart and couldn't help but stay there. After a while, he sat down and didn't dare to speak.

I looked at the words of these people coldly and said, "This law was formulated two months ago, so we will deal with the behaviors that occur during this period of time in accordance with this law!"

After saying that, I shouted: "Come, arrest those who hoarded grain and raised prices, and punished according to the law."

A few wolf teeth immediately stepped forward and caught the merchants who were raising prices like chickens.
Chapter completed!
