"Your Majesty must not!"

Zeng Bu stopped him in shock.

Zhao Xu looked at Zeng Bu and saw what Zeng Bu said.

Zeng Bu said in pain: "Your Majesty, the world has been suffering from the market and the law has changed for a long time..."

As soon as he said this, Zhao Xu's face suddenly became dark.

Zeng Bu's heart skipped a beat, but then he felt a little confused: "...City Yisi exploited merchants, causing the economy to suffer a heavy blow, and now there is such a situation of sorrow all over the world..."

Zhao Xu's face looked even more ugly.

The law of the market has always been his proud work, and the treasury was once filled with it, making all the ministers and workers praise it as the rule of Xining, and they say that he was a rare wise ruler.

Even later he felt that Zeng Bu was inappropriate to make some corrections, in his opinion, it was just a fine adjustment. It was generally beneficial to the country and it was a great benefit. This is what he felt most proud of, how could Zeng Bu be slandered?

But Zeng Bu had already planned to ignore it. He knew that Zhao Xu was increasingly trusting Cai Jing, but Zeng Bu gradually felt marginalized. If he did not resist, he might also withdraw from the political stage.

"...Your Majesty, although the law of the city is a good law, the person who enforces it may not be a good person. I have received a lot of reports. In the process of management, the city departments in various places colluded with some profiteers to embezzle the assets of the merchants who were properly operated, and even forced the wife to separate. Such tragedies on earth are happening everywhere!

Your Majesty, now that the country is in danger, it is time to unite all people to fight against the enemy in the north, instead of doing these actions inside, which has made many people who do not follow the right path, but has made more people go bankrupt. Please think twice!”

Cai Jing sneered: "Zeng Xianggong has said this. The essence of the market change law is not aimed at small businessmen, but at large businessmen who control the market.

These big profiteers manipulate prices and market hoarding, and sometimes make money from the national crisis. What are the things that these profiteers have to sympathize with?

Moreover, our Majesty did not take ruthless measures. He just managed them and did not even take their shares in vain. He would also help them develop the market. This is just a benefit.

On the contrary, Zeng Hunter, it is said that your relatives also control a lot of industries. Haha, the people from the Municipal Yishu reported to me and asked me whether I should control these industries. I also said at that time that Zeng Hunter was devoted to the country, and I am afraid that we would not have to do anything. Zeng Hunter would quickly hand over these assets to the court for management.

Unexpectedly, after so long, Zeng Xungong not only did not do this, but was still talking to the prodigal merchants. Hehe, could it be that those prodigal merchants entrusted their assets to Zeng Xungong?"

Zeng Bu stared at Cai Jing closely. Cai Jing was really too insidious. He was waiting for him here. The court minister had no industry. Zeng Bu just took over relatively more industries in the past few years. What's so great about this? The greater the ability, the heavier the responsibility. He once had extraordinary ability. How about controlling more industries? Isn't that paying taxes for the court?

Zeng Bu was about to speak, but he heard Zhao Xu say, "Okay, there is no need to say more. All officials and ministers have come to Jiangnan. If you are not familiar with the place, you should have some industries to maintain your family plan, so you don't have to worry too much about these.

However, Zeng Xianggong said that the market law is a good law, and the person who executes it is also my favorite. Even if there are some mistakes in the process, it will be a flaw but not a concealment of the merits.

Now that the country is in a crisis, someone does need to take responsibility. It is normal for the people to have some understanding of the law of the market, but the court should add more comfort and implement it with a gentle but firm manner.

The City Yi Law was implemented in Bianjing City before, and later it was promoted to major cities such as Lin'an and Yangzhou. The results were very good. Since this is the case, it is of course appropriate to promote it to prefectures and counties, Cai Xianggong..."

Cai Jing suppressed the ecstasy in his heart: "I am here!"

Zhao Xu said lightly: "The city-changing laws should be promoted to prefectures and counties. Each state should have a city-changing department, and every county should have a city-changing department. Such a good law should benefit the people of the world. How can we make the important towns enjoy exclusively?"

Cai Jingxi said: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful!"

Zeng Bu lowered his head and sighed deeply.

At this moment, he remembered Ouyang Bian.

Ouyang Bian's mood back then may have been heavier than he is now.

The market law was raging again, and Zeng Bu's authority was lost again. Zhao Xu seemed to be afraid of him and did not trust him much. He divided some of the things he was responsible for, some gave to Cai Jing, some gave to Cai Que, and some other people.

Zeng Bu suddenly became idle. He went around to see him, wearing regular clothes to see what Lin'an is like now.

To be honest, Lin'an is very prosperous at this time, and there is no sign of any end-of-day scene.

There were many people in Lin'an. During the Chongning period, Hangzhou had a population of 200,000 households, making it the most populous prefecture and county in Jiangnan.

The previous local officials in Hangzhou attached great importance to the rectification of West Lake.

The scenery in Lin'an is very pleasant.

According to previous statistics, Lin'an has 440 business lines, and various transactions are very prosperous. Everything gathers.

Foreign trade is quite developed, with more than 50 countries and regions including Japan, Goryeo, Persia, and Dashi having exchanges and trade relations with them. The imperial court set up a "Maritime Bureau" to take charge of the matter.

After renovation, the West Lake Scenic Area is even more charming and attractive, attracting many Chinese and foreign tourists;

Service industries and night markets such as wine shops, art shops, and inns are also very prosperous.

In fact, even at this time, the streets were still very lively, but compared to the benefits of bulk goods, these were just some pediatrics.

Zeng Bu couldn't help but sigh. Under the prosperous scene, there was a crisis of destruction. Now, Cai Jing and Zhao Xu seem to worry about the country and the people, but in fact, what did they really do?

Tired of leaving, Zeng Bu entered a restaurant. The waiter took Zeng Bu to the private room and passed by a room outside. Suddenly, a voice came out.

"... Now the Song Dynasty, I don't know when the flag will be changed. Have you heard that the Western Xia destroyed the 300,000 troops of the Liao Kingdom and recovered the Yanyun land. This is something that the Zhao family has not done for several generations. So, in my opinion, the world will change its masters!"

Zeng Bu couldn't help but feel angry. Who is talking about confusing the public?

Zeng Bu walked a few steps faster and looked inside through the window, but saw a few scholars talking while drinking.

Zeng Bu's anger disappeared immediately. It is normal for scholars to discuss state affairs, and scholars are very rude. Now, it is normal for such a situation to complain.
