Chapter 684 Ying Yu's Counterattack
This was Ying Yu's last resort, but there was room for turning things around at this moment, and Ying Yu didn't intend to do so right away.
At this moment, Ying Yu's idea is to embarrass these law-breaking businesses in the name of the countries of the Western Regions.
Because they have been acting lazily recently, using the resources in their hands to force some other merchants who are not willing to join them to do the same thing.
It directly led to serious problems in Daqin's commercial trade today.
Originally, the countries in the Western Regions just thought that there might be something wrong with this matter.
They have an unimaginable heart and tolerance for Daqin, and they can wait for Daqin to handle this problem well.
Therefore, no envoys were sent to question or urge.
But as the emperor of Great Qin, Ying Yu could indeed use this as an excuse to embarrass the businessmen in the world.
Ying Yu could even make the matter more serious, and then use this matter as a reason to directly target the interests of the businessmen.
What to do when the time comes, they will naturally figure it out by themselves.
After Ying Yu told the ministers what he thought, the ministers present started discussing the matter.
The final conclusion is that this is feasible, which is really wonderful.
Therefore, Ying Yu informed the businessmen all over the world, because the recent events in the business world have seriously affected foreign trade.
In this regard, the envoys sent by the countries in the Western Regions asked Da Qin to give an explanation.
In order to maintain trade, Daqin could only take some last resort measures.
As soon as the news came out, the merchants in Daqin felt cold. They naturally knew that this was definitely not what the countries in the Western Regions said.
Because when they took action, they had already paid close attention to the movements of the countries in the Western Regions.
Furthermore, before carrying out this operation, they already knew how much patience and tolerance the countries in the Western Regions had for Great Qin.
And even if they were given 1 courage, they would definitely not dare to send envoys to Daqin to question their crimes.
Now that the emperor issued such an edict, they naturally understood that this must be an excuse for the emperor to punish them.
The purpose is to make them compromise, but since they dare to do this, it is not so easy to compromise.
So they ignored the news and wanted to see what Ying Yu could do.
For so many years, Daqin has always insisted on governing the country according to strict laws.
As for this group of businessmen, what they are doing now does not violate the laws of Daqin.
They don't have any evil intentions, that is to say, they are now protected by the laws of Daqin.
Even if the emperor wants to accuse them of crimes, he needs to have a reason.
Keeping this kind of thinking, what should the businessmen do or do, they didn't take Ying Yu's words seriously at all.
It's just that they ignored who gave them this status.
Ying Yu was not surprised by the reaction of the merchants. The edict issued earlier was just a warning, and the next one was the real thing.
In this regard, Ying Yu once again issued an edict: Because the problems reported by the envoys of the Western Regions are too serious, in order to give an explanation to the Western Regions, and to prevent the interests of our Great Qin merchants from being infringed, it is temporarily decided, Close all foreign trade in goods. Starting today, Daqin will stop all foreign commercial activities.
After Ying Yu's order was issued, it had not yet reached the ears of the businessman.
The ministers in the court were already shocked and shocked.
In the eyes of the ministers, this kind of order is no different from cutting off an arm.
You must know that Daqin's trade is extremely developed now, and commerce has created a huge tax revenue.
Commercial taxes are much higher than those of agriculture, especially via the Silk Road.
According to the original agreement, the goods on the Silk Road would have required more taxes than other goods.
So at this moment, the taxation of foreign trade accounts for almost [-]% of Daqin's main source of income.
Prohibition of foreign trade, even for just one day, will bring immeasurable economic losses to Daqin.
The ministers knew that this was Ying Yu's measure to deal with the businessmen.
But such measures are a bit too extreme.
After hearing the news, many ministers immediately went to the palace to persuade Ying Yu face to face. This matter must not be done, otherwise it will hurt the economy of Daqin.
Faced with the remonstrance of these ministers at this time, Ying Yu laughed out loud.
After laughing, he asked directly.
"Is my Daqin short of money now?"
Faced with Ying Yu's sudden question, all the ministers were dumbfounded.
Indeed, today's Daqin is indeed not short of money, but no one would think that there is too much money, right?
Of course they also knew what Ying Yu was planning when he asked such a question?
Only now did they realize that they had underestimated Ying Yu before.
How could he have such boldness, Ying Yu at this moment is the emperor of Great Qin, and he is responsible for the lives of thousands of people on the streets.
How could he have the courage to make such a decision at such a time?
You must know that such a direct cut off of foreign trade may lead to very serious consequences.
But Ying Yu was not afraid of any consequences at all, and made a decision without even discussing with their important ministers.
For the ministers, this is simply unimaginable.
Living in a different place, if they bear such a great pressure on their shoulders, even if they know that this method must be feasible, they will not have the courage to take this step.
Ying Yu said loudly with a smile on his face, "I want these businessmen to know that in the whole world, no one can influence my will, let alone threaten me."
Hearing Ying Yu's words, the ministers present all showed shock. They knew that Ying Yu was really angry this time.
After Ying Yu's order was issued, all foreign trade checkpoints in Daqin were cut off with one blow.
No matter what the goods are, they can no longer be traded abroad.
When this happened, the merchants all over the world were shocked. It happened so suddenly that they didn't have any time to prepare.
They want to fight against Ying Yu secretly, and they have deliberately slowed down the transportation of goods in recent days, so they have hoarded a large amount of goods in their hands.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Ying Yu directly cut off their business route.
If this is the case, then they have to consider whether they can afford it?Can he bear the anger from His Majesty the Emperor?
The wrath of the emperor, laying down millions of corpses and bleeding for thousands of miles, this is no joke.
