The bankruptcy of Yuelai Palace is quite involved, at least it caused a great shock in the entire Guzang County.

Guzang County Magistrate Wang Wei'an has already dispatched some police forces to take over Guo Yuelai's house in advance, counting the remaining property of their house, and also shouldering the mission of protecting Guo's house from impact.

When a group of people with financial disputes with Guo Yuelai came to make trouble, the police also blocked them from the mansion.

But the problem cannot be solved.

The money that Guo Yuelai has to be owed must be delivered, and those who have paid the labor and materials cannot suffer losses themselves.

They also want to have a meal.

If they are unable to eat, they will be unable to swallow their breath and may easily cause public anger.

"Guo Yuelai is too irresponsible. Thinking about ending everything after death, will other people die with him? If we don't care and let those people ask for debts, Guo Yuelai's family will probably be unable to escape death.

I saw that those people were holding short sticks and other things in their hands. It was obvious that the visitors were not good, and they would definitely take action if they didn’t get the money. Guo Yue came and left the orphan and widowed mother and a big son. What is the opponent? I didn’t dare to withdraw the police force.”

Wang Wei'an reported to Lu Qian in this way.

After listening to Wang Wei'an's report, Lu Qian shook his head and sighed: "Have you finished counting the remaining gold, silver and fine details in Guo Yuelai's house?"

"The statistics are completed, the quantity is limited. Even if all the valuable things are included, let alone the court loans, the wages and materials he owed are not enough to repay. According to his family's instructions, Guo Yuelai took out all the money to build a new residence, and thought about making a lot of money, but the result is..."

Wang Weian shook his head in great distress.

After writing a document, Lu Qian put down his pen, stood up and walked a few steps.

"As a result, he never expected that the Anxi Kingdom was defeated and the Anxi caravan would not come! Who would stay in those stores? If no one stayed in the hotel, no one would give money. If he could not make ends meet, he would be finished! Now, he died and left the mess to the living!"

Lu Qian was furious and pounded his desk hard.

"Empress, the current situation is now everyone in the city is talking about it and panic. There are more and more shops that have voluntarily stopped operating in the past few days. What should we do?"

"There is no choice but to face it head-on. We must not be distracted. When you go out, you must dress neatly and calmly, and not be in the slightest panic. Do you understand?"

Lu Qian was not only telling Wang Wei'an, but also explaining the methods of doing things to a group of officials around him.

"clear."

Everyone agreed.

"Well, the officials who are waiting for us must be calm. Even if they are just pretending, as long as we are calm, the people will not be in chaos."

Lu Qian nodded and said, "As for Guo Yue's coming...forget it, I'll pay them to solve the problem. First confiscate their property, and then the government will pay the money he owes to those people and send them away."

"The government pays it?"

Wang Wei'an was a little surprised: "Eunuch, is it a bit inappropriate for the government to pay? There has never been such an example."

"What else? Do you really let those who ask for debt bully their orphans and widows?"

Lu Qian looked unbearable: "The fault cannot be blamed on Guo Yuelai alone. No one wants to see such a thing happening. If the government ignores this and allows others to bully the orphan and widowed mother, it will not only be useless, but it will inevitably make people feel heartbroken."

"The envoy is still kind. Once such a thing becomes a routine, everyone will use death to coerce the government. Wouldn't it be a mess?"

"Don't worry, there will be certain rules and regulations. Not everyone dares to use death to coerce the government. Who would die unless it is absolutely necessary?"

Lu Qian just shook his head and said, "In the crisis, the last reliance is the government. If the government does not act, the people will only become more chaotic. If it continues, Liangzhou will be destroyed in ten years of construction. Will officials like you and me have a good end?

The high-ranking officials in the court wished that Liangzhou would collapse. They could capture all of us and turn Liangzhou into what they were like. They made profits, we lost all our money, and we couldn't even do an official. Is this what we would like to see?"

Wang Wei'an figured out the joints inside and stomped his feet hard.

"Those sour and corrupt officials are hateful. Guo Yuelai is also cunning and cunning. He can make so much money by doing business. In the end, he actually used his own death to exchange for the protection of his family by the envoy. These businessmen really refused to suffer losses if they died!"

Lu Qian was stunned and smiled bitterly.

"Why are you willing to suffer losses if you die? Why are you just a businessman? Are anyone happy to suffer losses? Is it you or me? Or the other officials and farmers? Business is a low-key business, and businessmen may not be bitches, bitches, nor may they be businessmen."

Wang Wei'an was stunned for a moment, trying to refute but didn't know how to refute it. After a moment of silence, he felt nothing to say.

Anyway, he doesn't want to suffer any loss.

so……

He is also a bitch?

absurd.

Lu Qian just shook his head and sighed.

"Okay, go and do business. We still have a lot of troubles that we haven't dealt with. Don't panic and be calm."

"yes."

Wang Wei'an received the order and withdrew.

Subsequently, Lu Qian ordered the government to count that among the merchants who were forced to close shops and stopped operating and who were carrying more loans, those with good character, good reputation, and never evade taxes, they would select some people to help, rather than rescue them all.

To save, you must also save with rules and regulations. If you cannot save everything, you cannot save it, and you cannot save it without it. Then the reputation of the government will be ruined.

Paying taxes honestly and without tax evasion is also a great virtue. Only such merchants are worthy of saving.

As for the others, it depends on whether the government still has money.

Of course there is nothing.

Paying taxes honestly is just a cunning and cunning unruly person. It is not worth saving at all. Let’s go to fend for yourself!

Of course, Lu Qian would not embezzle. Although the money Guo Jin gave him was taken out of his teeth, the [little bits] that were taken out of his teeth called the Central Treasury was also a huge sum of money.

Proper use should be able to preserve the vitality of the northwest commerce, wait for the peace of the Anxi Kingdom to restore peace, and then come to Wei Kingdom to do business.

In fact, what Lu Qian wants to do more than properly respond to this crisis is to help the Sabre Kingdom restore peace.

He was very eager to restore peace to the Kingdom of Rest immediately and then start trade with the Empire of Wei immediately. In this way, everyone will be saved.

Instead of facing the panic among the people like this, you have to distinguish who is worth saving and who is not worth saving...

Of course, he also knew that in the current situation in the Abnormal Kingdom, unless a man from heaven appeared, it was basically impossible to solve the problem in the short term.

The princes were fighting in chaos, and the world was in chaos. The situation was similar to the end of the Han Dynasty. They were all chaotic scenes. Everyone was trying to make a fool of themselves and had no intention of trading at all.

The depression of Northwest commerce will continue for a while, and it is hard to say how long it will last.

What Lu Qian wants to know, of course Guo Jin wants to know, Guo Peng wants to know, Zhuge Liang wants to know, and Cao Ang wants to know.

However, even the diplomatic departments set up by the Wei Empire in the Silence Empire could not make accurate predictions.

The Wei Empire set up diplomatic departments in the capitals of the Kushan Empire and the Silent Empire, sent diplomatic envoys to protect the commercial interests of the Wei Empire, and informed the internal political situation and stability of these countries at any time.

Correspondingly, the Silence Empire and the Kushan Empire also arranged diplomatic departments in Luoyang, the capital of the Wei Empire, to send envoys. The two sides communicated with each other, in a sense, an alliance relationship was a certain extent.

When the news of this war between Rest and Rome reached the Wei Empire, the battle was almost over.

Far water cannot quench near thirst. Neither Anxi nor Rome wanted the Wei Empire to intervene. They also knew that this was something that the Wei Empire could not intervene.

The Rest Messenger of course criticized the Roman Messenger in front of Guo Jin, saying that the Romans were cruel and unkind and righteous, and were all wild animals.

The Roman envoy also retorted, saying that the Absus man was greedy and cunning, and that he deserved a beating.

Scolding around, that is, the pain is not enough, both sides are doing political performances.

Originally, this matter had nothing to do with the Wei Empire, and the Wei Empire didn't care, but the war had profoundly affected the interests of the Wei Empire, so it was impossible for the Wei Empire to ignore this matter.

Guo Jin knew that the debate between Ambassador Anxi and Ambassador Rome was meaningless, and the report from Linzi Camp was really meaningful.

In the name of a merchant, Guo Peng and he arranged more than 100 Linzi camp spies to the Aidu Empire. They were engaged in various commercial activities in the Aidu Empire in various identities, and in fact they were all good at collecting intelligence.

According to the current information, the domestic situation in Anxiu is still very turbulent. Troubled times have come. It is really hard to say who can end the troubled times and bring Anxiu back to rule the world.

Of course, collecting intelligence cannot change anything, and collecting intelligence cannot change the direction of the situation.

The military power of the Wei Empire has not been projected to important areas around the Ayami Empire for the time being. Since military power cannot enter, political influence will naturally no longer exist.

For one country, if you want to exert political influence on another country, you must put your military power into it.

At least you must have this ability and let the other party know.

Let the other party know that they have the ability to release military power and strike them in a certain sense heavily.

Only with military deterrence will they be scared, only if they are afraid will be obedient, and only if they are obedient will they have political influence.

Guo Peng's expansion policy was limited to the Western Protectorate. After closing the western gate of the empire, Guo Peng reached his own imperial extreme wall plan and had no idea of ​​further expansion.

Guo Peng fixed the hard boundaries of the empire, and he had no energy to do the rest.

If Guo Jin has an idea, then Guo Jin must do it himself.
