Throughout the dynasties, the emperor's ascending the throne was the first major event.

As the saying goes, "One emperor and one minister", the new king will hold a grand ceremony and will inevitably hold a luxurious and grand ceremony to show that the world will become the new master of China.

Li Pei's throne ceremony will be held at "Chengtian Gate", which means "Inheriting the Heavenly Destiny and receiving the order from heaven".

As early as a few months ago, someone had already arrived from other places to prepare for the ceremony.

On the day of today's ceremony, it was already crowded before dawn, with millions of people standing shoulder to shoulder.

All kinds of religions and all kinds of people are all in their clothes and dressing in various ways. There are both rich families wearing long gowns and coolies wearing sacks.

The latter are the bottom-class people, and they don’t even recognize each other. It doesn’t matter who becomes the emperor.

I just came here to join in the fun and see the legendary gods and the immortals' "Flying Immortal Boat".

However, these extremely numb people who are oppressed by life have vague expectations for the new imperial court.

After all, that Lu Zhenjun has a really good reputation!

He doesn't like beauty and doesn't have the power and wealth. He just stays at home and practices hard every day. He has only three women around him, and he can't catch up with the ordinary landlord's old fortune.

Under his rule, he was very stable. All kinds of underworld forces disappeared, and everyone had hope. It is said that they would be exempted from taxes...

Just as everyone was imagining, there were suddenly noises from far to near and the sound of heavy footsteps.

Everyone stood on tiptoe and looked up, and someone shouted excitedly: "It's the imperial guards here!"

The army formed by more than a thousand people slowly entered the field. These were carefully selected imperial guards, equivalent to the emperor's private guard.

The 1,000 people on the spacious Chang'an Street were inconspicuous, but the onlookers couldn't help but exclaim and subconsciously retreated.

Because the most elite "mecha warrior" came, his whole body was wrapped in steel without any skin exposed, and he looked like hideous and violent steel monsters, full of oppression.

Fortunately, the bright red cloak cut and made by professionals made them more gorgeous, and it is just right to act as a guard of honor.

The crowd was excited about it:

"I heard that the True Lord gave these armor names - the light armor is [Defying Armor], and the big guy is called [Terminator Mecha]."

"Even the lightest armor must be 200 pounds, right? You can't wear it until the refining realm."

"That's not. Those two and a half meters tall weigh two tons, and only the great martial artists in the blood exchange realm can wear it."

Amid the discussion, some well-informed people showed off:

"The court changed its military system. In the future, the regular army would be responsible for charging and rushing into battle. Those who cannot pierce armor can only be auxiliary soldiers, called the 'mortal auxiliary army'."

As soon as this said, everyone gathered around to inquire.

The man became more and more proud, and said with a slight belly:

"The court wants to lay off most of the troops and leave only elite troops. The original Wuwei Army was converted into the 'Imperial Fist' Legion, and the Beiyang Navy and a small number of Western Expedition Army will also be left behind...

In short, it’s all about Lu Zhenjun. In the future, our Dayi Dynasty will not be afraid of foreigners! We will also take back all concessions and ban unequal treaties..."

All the people present were just ordinary people, and it was the first time they came into contact with these "insider information" and listened with relish.

But after listening for a while, someone's stomach suddenly gushed.

"I heard that Xinchao Ting will stabilize the food price, but I don't know when... my family is about to lose food, I just hope to survive the winter."

"Why did I hear that the south is short of food, and the price of grain will rise again!"

After hearing this news, the crowd was a little turbulent.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

At the same time, many high-ranking officials and powerful martial arts masters gathered on the gate tower of the "Chengtian Gate" to wait for the ceremony to begin.

Among them were hardcore like Fu Fangsheng and Dong Fuxiang; there were also famous sects that supported Lu Yao by Wudang Sect, Fahua Temple, Yushan Sect; and a wealthy family that seemed to surrender.

People from all kinds of backgrounds have them, and they are clearly distinguished according to each other's circles.

Things in the world are not black or white, there are always large pieces of gray.

The most crowded family in the field was the group of wealthy families who seemed to surrender.

Most of these long-standing families are very cognitive and surrender in the face of absolute force, so Lu Yao did not kill them all.

But there are also many people who are unwilling to compete for more voice through other means, and it is these people who are secretly joining forces to raise the prices of grain.

In fact, this is something that wealthy families have been doing for thousands of years. It is nothing more than hoarding goods and spreading rumors.

He took all the grain on the market into his own hands, spread rumors about the shortage of food to create anxiety, and sold it to make a huge profit.

At this time, due to the emergence of the imperial guards, there were cheers like tsunamis outside.

Looking at the steel battle formation like a human-shaped tank, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, with a goatee, said coldly:

"The Tao has faded and demons, and it actually made this big demon a climate!"

This person is the chief comprador of HSBC Bank - Xi Sugui.

He started from the lowest-level street running of HSBC, and became the chief comprador all the way, becoming a figure in the financial industry.

Xi Sugui knew very well that he was able to reach today by relying on the power of foreigners!

So Lu Yao wanted to collect taxes from wealthy families, so he could tolerate it.

But Lu Yao wants to attack foreigners and influence comprador business, so he can't stand it!

This is simply to explore the roots of the Xi family, and the contradictions are completely irreconcilable.

Therefore, Xi Sugui is also the craziest one of the food price hikes this time.

Not only did he call on all his property, he also drew funds from HSBC Bank and hoarded 1 billion jin of grain! That is 500,000 tons!

This time Lu Yao brought back 20 million tons of meters, which was rare for this person to reach 2.5%.

At this moment, several comprador families like him were gathering together and whispering.

"The great masters of Kunlun Sect and Tianshan Sect are unwilling to come out of the mountain."

"These slippery tips will be closed every time the dynasty changes, and the world will come out before peace."

"What's the use of coming out? No one can cure this devil with the surname Lu. My great Taoist devil is gone!"

When I thought about paying taxes like a mud leg, everyone was filled with sorrow.

Xi Sugui shouted softly: "Don't panic! This time we are going to use the food shortage to let the devil surnamed Lu know that governing the country is not about fighting and killing! If the country wants to be stable and peaceful, we must maintain respect for us!"

Immediately someone slapped his thigh and said:

"Brother Xi said this great kindness! He had to use starvation to kill people everywhere, so that the devil could know the truth about "scholars and officials rule the world together"!"

When everyone heard this, they nodded and said yes.

There have been many powerful monarchs from all dynasties. Even if they do not use force, some families and families still have the means to fight for power and profit.

Xi Sugui comforted his heart and said, "If the new court is tactful, we will put food in front of us. It is not good to starve too many people to death."

"Brother Xi is kind, this is going to make a lot of money."

"It should be, it should be."
