The Al Kingdom has been developing for several years. For a while, some short-term spiritual medicines will enter the harvest period, but the sudden failure to sell spiritual medicines in the market has caught most of the small and medium-sized nobles off guard. These people were originally short of funds, but now they cannot recover their funds because of their production and sales. Now they are not only unable to afford the pills, but are facing the crisis of bankruptcy!

It is not that there are merchants who try to deprecate the elixirs to the Kingdom of Berwick, but the production of elixirs in Berwick is also increasing. The elixirs that Harric recovered from the north are enough for the three major families to use for their own use. Millum has long stopped purchasing elixirs from Berwick, and the price of elixirs in Berwick has also dropped. However, they can still adapt to it themselves. However, if the merchants in the Kingdom collect elixirs and then depreciate them, there will be no profit besides expenses and freight costs.

The price of spiritual medicines in the Three Kingdoms of the North has always been stable, but Harric promised that Zhang Ziqiang would not buy spiritual medicines in China to avoid attracting the attention of other major families. Besides, he would not do anything to get the trouble of the Sendran family, so he would rather pay more than buy them back from the north, and it would be impossible for him to transport medicines from China to the north.

In recent years, the output of grain and vegetables has increased explosively, and agricultural and sideline products have become increasingly abundant. However, civilians have money but save money, and small and medium-sized aristocrats have no money in their bags. Of course, the great nobles and aristocrats have not yet been short of survival supplies, but these people are not large, so how much can they consume?

Originally, a lot of grain was used to feed livestock to produce meat. After competition, the number of farmers retained is very large, because Zhang Ziqiang's subsidies for the first and second years, and Rosyding County's largest breeder in the kingdom is the largest and the most meat produced.

However, with the popularity of meat, the amount of oil and water has become sufficient, and the daily grain required by civilians has decreased sharply. From the business of the liquor house, it can be seen that the food consumed by brewing is also decreasing, and the prices of grain and vegetables are declining. The income of small nobles and rich peasants who rely on planting is significantly reduced. In order to reduce costs, these owners have to lay off workers.

When development was booming, human resources were short of people, and development is now at a standstill. The number of slaves has increased, and civilian workers have been unemployed and cannot find jobs.

In addition to Rosydingshire's unique position, this economic crisis caused by insufficient money supply and increased material production has swept across the entire Kingdom of Al.

The royal family and the Yanhuang family were slightly affected but not much. The two dukes of Harric and Millum of the Aidra family often lamented that business is not easy to do now and life is hard, so they still eat, drink and have fun. The Sendland family, the Stanlo family, and the Randy family, whose main business is to plant spiritual medicine and spiritual wood, have suffered heavy damage and are difficult to do! A large number of small and medium-sized aristocrats and rich peasants went bankrupt, shops in various counties closed, and most of the civilian workers were unemployed and had nothing to do.

The Kingdom of Al is facing such a crisis. How can Carus not be in a hurry to get angry?

...

Zhang Ziqiang leisurely spent time with the girls in the main courtyard of Yanhuang Mansion. A group of Jindan maids sat or stood in the garden of the main building of the home, laughed and played, or thought hard, and what a picturesque scenery!

Suddenly, the servants came to report that His Majesty Carus held a grand court meeting and invited all the princesses, five dukes and more than 160 marquis to discuss politics in order to resolve the current crisis in the kingdom. The visitor also reported that His Majesty Carus personally sent his mount to welcome Princess Cariolu and Zhang Ziqiang into the palace together.

Carrilu was just an excuse, but in fact, Carrus saw Rosidin as if he was not affected by the crisis at all. He and his ministers were puzzled. If he wanted to make money, his royal family made a lot of money. Why was there a crisis in the royal family's residence? The purpose of Carrus sent the royal car to praise Zhang Ziqiang and give him some pressure so that he could come up with a method.

Carus has a little selfish intention in this move. He is using the king's identity to raise Kalilu's status in the Yanhuang family. Thinking about Amilia, as the mistress, cannot enjoy the pick-up and drop-off of the king car, but Kalilu, as a concubine, can invisibly attack Amilia's prestige in the Yanhuang family.

Zhang Ziqiang may not have imagined such a secret trick, but he subconsciously believed that since Kalilu was going to enter the palace, he rarely accompanied Amilia and others to visit the capital, so it would be better to take the girls in the backyard to visit the capital again.

"Amilia, today His Majesty summoned me and Kalilu into the palace. You can arrange it. Let's go to the capital together and stay in Zhangzhuang tonight." His instructions made Amilia, a sensitive person, calm and happily responded.

Zhang Ziqiang led Amilia, Kalilu, Xiaocui, Xiaomei, Ananda, and a group of guards to enter the capital. After the capital, the troops were divided into two groups. Zhang Ziqiang held Qian Huanhu and Kalilu into the palace with his hands. Amilia took the other girls shopping and made an appointment to meet in Zhangzhuang tonight.

After Kalilu entered the palace, she went to the harem to chat with the queen, and Zhang Ziqiang entered the Political Affairs Hall.

The previous few times Zhang Ziqiang came to the Political Affairs Hall, but there were not many people in the hall, but today they were full of people. More than 160 marquises and nearly 100 officials stood in a row. The five dukes and His Majesty Carus have not arrived yet. Because the theme of today's court meeting is government affairs, Marshal Baru and other military tycoons did not attend.

As soon as Zhang Ziqiang entered the Hall of Political Affairs, officials and marquises from all over the government, together with the other thirteen first-class marquis, bowed and greeted him, but there seemed to be some anxiety between everyone's eyebrows.

"Mr. Zhang, the fief of the noble family, Luosiding County is booming, but what are the secrets? Please give me advice to solve the urgent needs of our county." This is an old county magistrate approaching him.

"Mr. Zhang, the Yanhuang tribe is treated so highly, so please take care of us poor people." This is a pair of Zhang Ziqiang's Yanhuang family who is rising rapidly, and the Marquis feels that he can't eat grapes and says that the grapes are sour.

Zhang Ziqiang replied to everyone with a smile that a small lively circle was formed in the Political Affairs Hall. He also noticed that in the Political Affairs Hall, there were three chairs on the front left and two chairs on the front right. Today, there were three chairs on the left and right sides. With the attitude of everyone in the hall, this chair seemed to be prepared for him.

However, Zhang Ziqiang was not idiotically so before His Majesty Carus had arrived, he took the newly added position directly in front of the powerful ministers and nobles of the Kingdom of Al before His Majesty Carus had arrived.

While greeting the ministers and marquis in the hall, he stayed at the seat where the marquis was, chatting and spanking with the people next to him.

Maybe it was because the king returned to the palace and someone reported to His Majesty Carus. Carus knew that Zhang Ziqiang had arrived. After a while, Carus and the five dukes entered the Political Affairs Hall. It turned out that the heads of the six major families had already discussed together for a long time.

When Zhang Ziqiang saw Millum enter the hall, he winked at him, and he also gave him a knowing smile. After the grand ceremony, the two brothers would gather together again. Now there is a lot of people talking, so there is no need to be so conspicuous.

Peng Lin still looked smiling, but even those like Zhang Ziqiang who had little contact with him could see that the smile on his face was quite far-fetched; Lis was anxious and expressed in words, Randy was expressionless, not knowing what he was thinking, making people unable to feel his depth, while Harric and Millum also showed sadness, but the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

His Majesty Carus and the five great dukes each sat down, and the county magistrates and marquis in the hall also returned to their positions, standing seriously on both sides of the hall.

"Today, I invite all nobles and county magistrates to come and hold a rare dynasty meeting once a decade. In order to solve the current difficulties encountered in the country, my dear ministers are all pillars of the kingdom. Today, I would like to express my views and speak freely. Be sure to come up with a solution, otherwise the kingdom will be in danger! Before that, please ask the Prime Minister Belfast to introduce to you the current situation of the county magistrate in the kingdom so that you can use it as a reference."

Belfast is the prime minister of the kingdom after Jindan Prime Minister Elenda. He is in his early nineties this year and has been in this position for twenty-eight years. He was born into a distant family of the Sendland family, and his stable governance methods and endless small schemes, which were highly appreciated by His Majesty Carus. He has been in the position of prime minister for twenty-eight years but has not found anyone he has offended. Whether it is a big family, aristocrat, or a wealthy businessman or a commoner, he can find common topics and fight in a short while.

"Your Majesty, dear Dukes, Marquis, and county magistrates, since June last year, the business of Danfang, which is spread across the kingdom counties, has been in trouble. The sales of elixirs are gradually declining, which has caused the sales of its raw materials, spiritual medicines to stagnate. Following closely, the hot mountain development in the past few years has also stopped one after another."

"I have asked many families engaged in development for inquiries, and the answers are similar. Their production cannot be sold, their gold coins cannot be collected, and the wages of employees cannot be paid. Therefore, they are unable to develop again. To this day, even food, vegetables, clothing and other essential materials for survival are piled up in piles and cannot be sold in the place of production."

"On the one hand, the living standards of ordinary civilians have declined seriously, and some unemployed employees are still unable to eat, while on the other hand, the supplies cannot be sold. This situation has never happened in the kingdom before!"

After introducing this, Belfast finally put away his heartbroken tone, and said in a very glad attitude: "Of course, not all counties are like this. The living standards of civilians and employees in the central district of the Kingdom are thriving, especially Rositing County. However, in recent days, Rositing County has been as always, but the surrounding counties are not as good as before. This is the current situation of the Kingdom. Please think about why this situation occurs? How to relieve the current dilemma of the Kingdom?"

After he finished speaking, his eyes looked around the hall for a while, and finally his eyes were on Zhang Ziqiang, showing anxiety on his face, as if Zhang Ziqiang would stand up at the next moment.
