Taxes have increased, and some small workshops that have taken advantage of the Zhang family's consortium have also started up, making a lot of money, but this has undoubtedly emptied the pockets of the people.
The poorer the people get, the more they want to cheat others to get their money back. They are always chasing to be the best, but they don't know that they get deeper and deeper, and finally reach the point where they can't extricate themselves.
The Four Dynasties began to provide correct guidance three months ago, and began to gradually use the spiritual stones in their hands to develop industries, encourage opening of shops, and encourage people to farm.
But all of this has had little effect. More and more people are preaching about getting something for nothing. These spam messages have fatigued the people and made people gradually accept this statement.
Many people made huge profits as a result, but even more people lost everything, and the entire court was about to be completely paralyzed.
Faced with this situation, the emperor was really at a loss what to do. In the end, the Prime Minister of Northern Yan proposed to fire the big business. This kind of organization that developed offline had to catch one and kill each one.
Gentle methods can no longer govern such a court where everyone is crazy. Special measures must be taken in special times. Only when these organizations are no longer legalized can the world be restored to peace and everything can get back on track.
The Northern Yan Emperor cut off his strong man's wrist and began to rectify these organizations. He sent officers and soldiers from various places to arrest people, took away all the goods and spiritual stones, and sent them directly to the guillotine.
This matter has been popular for too long. There are countless such organizations among the people. A small town can arrest dozens of small bosses a day, and they are all lined up on the guillotine.
Suddenly, the bloody suppression caused the entire Beiyan to flow with blood. Countless people were silent and stunned. Suddenly, what they had done before was illegal?
You are not allowed to sell anything you buy in the future? Wouldn’t that mean you have to lose too much?
But in the face of the emperor's iron-blooded tactics, even if he was not convinced, he did not dare to say anything, so he targeted those who had made money and reported them as participants in the organization.
After receiving the iron-blooded order, the officials thought that they would rather kill by mistake than let go. Anyone who was reported and made money because of the turmoil would be arrested and killed.
With some precedents of successful whistleblowing, people became more active. Many people held the idea that they did not want others to be well off even if they lost money. Reporting became common in Beiyan for a while.
Most of those who made money were local powerful people. They knew that sooner or later it would be their turn, so most of them packed up and ran away.
There are more than 200 cities in Beiyan, and each city has many people who ran away. After these people ran away, they stayed away from the government. Although they would not be caught, their personal safety was not guaranteed.
Many people are red-eyed because of the loss. Naturally, when they see someone who has made money, they think that they have earned their money. They are extremely psychologically unbalanced. When they meet these people, they naturally have murderous intentions.
For a time, the burning, killing and looting were not stopped, and they even had a lot of goods in their hands that could not be sold, so they directly started to attack the government in the local area. They watched helplessly as the officials made so much money and enjoyed the hot food. Of course they were angry.
but.
Beiyan was in complete chaos and people's hearts were scattered. It would be extremely difficult to remedy the situation.
Only then did Emperor Beiyan realize that the ban was too late. Perhaps he should not have allowed the Zhang Consortium to sell kitchen knives in the first place!
There is no luck in this kind of thing. A moment of indulgence will inevitably cause a spark that can start a prairie fire, and it will be even harder to control it.
He now wants to tear everyone in Zhang's consortium into pieces. These people are just worms!
He ordered Ling Chi, the person in charge of the Zhang family, but the Minister of Punishment below reported back: "Your Majesty, the Zhang family had already evacuated for three days when we arrested the person, and all the Zhang family members in the entire dynasty were gone."
"Run away?" The beads on Emperor Beiyan's head were shaking in shock. Only at this moment did he realize that this might not be an accident, but man-made.
Someone wants to trick Bei Yan, or in other words, wants to trick the four great dynasties.
"Check, go and find out where these people are from!" he said angrily.
"Your Majesty, we have already gone to investigate, but we have no clues yet." The Minister of Punishment felt a little guilty as he spoke, because he has not found any clues yet, and there is a high probability that he will not be able to find any.
Seeing that Beiyan had fallen to this point, the other three dynasties realized that blindly strong suppression would not work, so they used a slightly softer approach.
First, the emperor issued an edict declaring that all activities related to offline development were no longer legal, and ordered everyone to give up voluntarily, otherwise they would be arrested.
These officials thought that this would prevent rebellion, but they did not expect that when the people saw that the punishment was not painful, they would directly change from light to dark, selling quietly and buying quietly. In short, it was impossible to do business properly.
The second step in the governance of these dynasties is to start arresting people, whip them in public, beat them for three days and then lock them up, which can be regarded as a wake-up call.
But in the face of huge interests, this punishment is really not severe, so a situation has arisen that is repeatedly banned.
The three major dynasties were also very worried about this, but they could only try to increase the punishment and try to improve the situation little by little. They did not expect that a kitchen knife storm that had been popular for only a year and a half would take ten years to come.
It will take twenty years or even more to recover.
If we had known the seriousness of the problem early, if we had banned it from the beginning, I think these things would not have happened.
In this way, the national strength will decline for at least twenty years, which is really harmful.
Although this gentle governance method was a bit slow, it did not lead to large-scale rebellions like those in Beiyan.
It can be said that Beiyan was the court that suffered the earliest and worst impact. The Emperor of Beiyan now only feels that he is being roasted on the fire, neither advancing nor retreating.
"Don't let me catch who is behind all this, I will cut her into pieces!" Emperor Beiyan roared in the Beiyan Palace.
"A sneeze."
Mu Qianyu sneezed well. She was inspecting the summer resort. She was actually looking at the weapons being forged underground.
The blacksmiths and weapon refiners she recruited underground were all powerful figures in the army. These people had worked hard to make a lot of inferior kitchen knives, but now the highlight was the forging of army weapons.
She divided the ore in her hand into ten batches and ordered Qin Chuan to build armor and weapons in ten more secret places. Her soldiers must have the strongest armor and better weapons.
Firstly, such soldiers can be invincible on the battlefield, and secondly, they will be much safer. In the end of a war, we should try to avoid as few casualties as possible.
"Who scolded me?" Mu Qianyu rubbed his nose and said, "Did I dig up his family's ancestral grave? Such a big resentment."
"Your Majesty may be weak. I will make ginseng tea for Your Majesty when I get back." Liu Xiner said from the side.
"Fat man, you have enough work over there, so just leave me alone. It's not surprising if someone scolds me at this time." Mu Qianyu was still self-aware.
