The June sky, like a child's temperament, becomes very fast, sometimes the sun is high, sometimes it is cloudy, and in the morning you feel that the sun is shining, but after noon it is already pouring rain.

On this afternoon, the sky was gray, and the rain was dripping, constantly beating on the windowsill, making a pleasant sound.

In the Book Pavilion.

Mu Jing sat cross-legged, stretched out his right hand, and put it on the desk.

Zhang Ning wore a white robe, knelt beside him, and concentrated on checking his pulse.

After half a ring, Zhang Ning suddenly raised his head, his beautiful eyes had a touch of anger, looked at Mu Jing, and gritted his teeth and said: "Liar, you lied to me again!" ”

She was worried about Mu Jing's body, so she didn't stop and rushed back overnight, but after diagnosing the pulse, she felt that Mu Jing's body had recovered very well, and her cultivation had been consolidated, and she didn't feel like she was hurting herself by practicing martial arts at all.

"I don't lie to you, can you come back?" Mu Jing withdrew his right hand, the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he smiled shallowly, looking at Zhang Ning's nervous appearance just now, he was very happy, so he smiled very happily.

"Humph!"

When Zhang Ning heard this, his pretty face turned red, he snorted coldly, packed up the medicine box, and was about to turn around and leave.

"Don't go!" Mu Jing grabbed Zhang Ning's small hand between his backhands and said in a low voice.

"You let go!"

Zhang Ningqiao had a touch of anger on her face, and the strength in her body was faintly about to explode, if it weren't for her scruples about hurting Mu Jing, she would have punched her a long time ago.

"Don't let it go, let it go, you're gone!" Mujing Road.

"You can't catch me!"

Zhang Ning said faintly.

"You just have to say one word, I can give up this marriage contract!"

Mu Jing held her hand tightly and said in a deep voice: "Big deal, let's go back to Nanyang!" ”

"Mu Longtu, you can't do it!" Zhang Ning raised his head, his eyes had a touch of tenderness, condensed on Mu Jing's pupils, and said faintly: "Mu family, too many people's hopes are pinned on you, you are the young master of the Mu family, even if you want to give up, who will allow it!" ”

When Mu Jing heard this, his firm confidence collapsed suddenly, and the hand he used to grasp Jian Ning slowly let go.

A trace of helplessness floated in his heart.

"This path was chosen by you and me at the beginning, so we can only move forward bravely!"

Zhang Ning put down the medical box, slowly approached, stretched out Qianqianyu's hand, gently stroked his face, the ethereal and persistent voice echoed in his ears: "I don't blame you, really, I blame only that we were born in troubled times, I can't compare to the Cai girl's background, I can't give you the status you want, so you want to marry her, I have nothing to do, in the troubled times, we have too many bodies that can't help ourselves, you have your way, I will also have my way, it is our luck to come together, and it is our fate to not go together!" ”

"Even if it's fate, I won't obey it!" The shepherd's cry of exhaustion.

"I won't leave, I've always been by your side, and I'll watch you go down, but from tonight, there is no Taiping Saint in the world, I, Zhang Ning, the commander of the Taiping Divine Guard, led the Taiping Divine Guard to meet the prince, and I am willing to listen to the order of the prince in the future, and saddle the horse for the prince!"

After speaking, Zhang Ning drifted away.

"Commander of the Taiping Guard?"

Mu Jing was stunned, and after a long time, he showed a helpless face that didn't know whether to cry or laugh: "The world is changing, and we are also changing, if this can make you stay, I am also willing!" ”

**************************

With the collapse of the grain market in Chang'an City, a grain storm on the land of Guanzhong was completely detonated.

This is a storm of grain.

There is plenty of food in Guanzhong.

Although in recent years, the imperial capital of Luoyang has been in turmoil, and there have been wars repeatedly, first the Xiyuan conscription, then He Jin's gathering of soldiers and horses to rebel, and then the Xiliang army and Nanyang soldiers and horses entering Beijing, causing a food shortage around them.

However, last year's grain harvest in Guanzhong was not bad, and it was able to maintain the grain market in Guanzhong and maintain Guanzhong's grain superiority.

But who would have thought that someone would hoard food on a large scale.

If someone starts the way, it will cause unease in the hearts of grain merchants of all sizes.

These grain merchants also began to stock up on grain.

When grain merchants start to stock up on grain, then the price of grain will continue to rise, and the less grain there is on the market, the higher the price of grain will naturally be.

……

Jingzhao.

"Why is the price of grain getting higher and higher this year, now it's 800 yuan a stone!"

"Eight hundred yuan, eight hundred and fifty yuan a stone has arrived today, and the price is high, and it may not be possible to buy food, since a few days ago, the grain shops have closed, and now even the grain has begun to be restricted!"

"It's only June now, and there is still some time before the autumn, if the food is cut off, how should we people in Guanzhong live!"

"Not to mention that our Lantian City is short of food, even Chang'an City has no grain to buy and sell!"

"Actually, we are not short of grain in Guanzhong, it seems that some grain merchants are stockpiling grain!"

"Damn businessman, damn it!"

……

Hongnong.

"Our Huayin City has rarely been short of food, what's wrong this year!"

"Damn, how can there be a foreign businessman who dares to enter my Yiyang to buy grain and sweep away the grain in our market, this is the Yiyang grain merchant who forced us, it's too hateful!"

"Brother Han, it's not that I don't want to reinforce your Chang'an Grain Market, it's that we Hongnong can't squeeze out so much grain!"

……

Hedong.

"What's the matter, I haven't encountered such a big caravan in the previous two or three months, but today I met three on that day, and I sold two thousand stone of grain, damn it, I was busy shipping, and I forgot that the inventory was insufficient!"

"Can anyone tell me what's going on, our Anjia Grain Shop is the No. 1 grain merchant in Fanyin, and the stock is less than three hundred stones!"

……

Hanoi.

"Some people are hoarding grain in our Chaoge County, and they are completely anti-buying grain, and they can't let foreign grain merchants succeed!"

"Huai County's grain has always been stable, once the grain is hoarded by others, this is not good, pass the order down, we will also hoard!"

"From now on, our Fan's grain shop will be closed, and we will start to buy grain from the market, and then contact the local squires behind us, hoping that they can provide new grain!"

……

The storm of grain swept the land of Guanzhong, which was no longer just a matter of the grain merchants in Guanzhong, and the scholars in Guanzhong began to pay attention to it.

Luoyang City.

Yang House.

The owner of the Yang Mansion is above the current imperial court, and the status is on a par with Jiuqing's ruling Jinwu Yang Biao, the head of the Hongnong Yang family, and the Hongnong Yang family is the head of the Guanzhong family, and has always been the vane of the Guanzhong family.

"Big brother, you have to pay attention to this matter, some things that have appeared in Guanzhong recently may be related to our entire situation in Guanzhong!"

Huan Ye is Yang Biao's cousin, and for Yang Biao's handling of Guanzhong affairs, he handed Yang Biao a few reports sent from Chang'an Hongnong.

"Someone is hoarding grain?"

Yang Biao focused on the major affairs of the imperial court, put his mind on Zhijinwu, and had been busy recruiting Cao Cao and seizing the military power in Cao Cao's hands, and he didn't care too much about the affairs of Guanzhong, but with the foundation of Hongnong Yang's in Guanzhong, general things are shaking the foundation of the Yang family.

But food is a big problem.

Once there is a problem with food, Guanzhong will even cause civil unrest, and when the people are in chaos, the first thing to bear the brunt of is the gate valves of various families.

"Find out who is stockpiling food?"

"Although it is only Jingping Commercial Bank, they are menacing, not only Jingzhou grain merchants are making trouble from it, but also businessmen from the East China Sea are fishing in troubled waters, and when there is less and less grain in the market, many grain merchants have begun to follow suit, and they are constantly stockpiling grain, so that now the price of grain has soared by a thousand dollars and a stone!" Huan Ye said in a deep voice: "I guess they should aim at the Guanzhong Grain Market, but I still can't figure out what their purpose is!" ”

The Yang family's roots in Guanzhong are too deep, and if they want to check it, they will be able to find out the news soon.

However, the purpose of Jingping Commercial Bank for the Guanzhong grain market is whether it wants to completely dominate the Guanzhong grain market, or only wants to make a profit from the Guanzhong grain market.

Huan Ye hasn't figured this out yet.

"Jingping Commercial Bank, is the Jingping Commercial Bank that caused the collapse of the Luoyang Salt Market?"

A touch of evil flashed in Yang Biao's eyes: "They are the minions of Mulong Tu!" ”

"I know, that's why I'm worried that the daughter of the Cai family who our shepherd son is about to marry, and the spring breeze is proud, and she is acting arrogantly, and now she still wants to do something to our grain market in Guanzhong!" Huan Ye said in a low voice: "I just don't know what his purpose is, and he won't think that he can control our grain in Guanzhong just by being a businessman, right?" ”

"Don't underestimate him, although this fang is young, his mind is more gloomy than that of Mushan, Mushan is open and closed, but he has made a lot of tricks, making us suffer a lot, as for the grain market in Guanzhong, he is very good!"

Yang Biao sneered: "The pastoral party has no foundation in Guanzhong, and the more than 100,000 soldiers and horses of the pastoral party can have the power they have now, but the soldiers and horses under their command need a large amount of food supply, and now the imperial court can still supply them, they are naturally fearless, but now the Quartet has great disrespect for the imperial court's orders, and the taxes collected by the imperial court last year are not even half of the year before. Then they can only split another road, so Mu Longtu aimed at the grain market in Guanzhong! ”
