"There's going to be a war!"

"Have you heard, the Runan thieves are going south, and we are the first to bear the brunt of Wuyin County!"

"What then?"

"Hurry up and prepare the food and softness, ready to run for your life at any time!"

"Yes, you must prepare enough food to escape!"

"But don't we have thousands of county soldiers in our county?"

"I heard that the thieves in Runan are tall and hundreds of thousands of thieves, how can we stop them with our county soldiers!"

"It's better to get ready!"

“……”

There was a thunder on the ground, and the news of the coming war broke out without warning, and it broke out in the county, and everyone was discussing it in the streets and alleys, teahouses and restaurants, and it was all at once.

"Zhengfang, what's going on?" In the backyard of the county government, in a study, Cai Tu's face was blue.

Runan Yellow Turbans, gathered Gepo, revolted and rebelled, in just over a month, they have occupied, most of the land of Runan, he knows the news, but he has not heard that Runan Yellow Turbans have plans to go south to Nanyang.

"Report to your lord, my subordinates sent someone to check!" Li Yan's eyes flashed with a sharp light: "It seems that someone can spread the news about this matter!" ”

"Why?"

"I don't know!"

Li Yan said: "I just know that the people who spread the news are some ruffians and hooligans in this county!" ”

"Could it really be that the Yellow Turban Thief is preparing to go south?"

"Probably not!"

Li Yan shook his head: "As far as I know, although the Yellow Turban Thieves have occupied most of Runan, the Runan Taishou has not given up resistance, gathered tens of thousands of troops, and is ready to fight, unless they are defeated and flee for their lives, otherwise they should not go south at this time!" ”

"Runan?" When Cai Tu heard this, he squinted slightly: "That is the territory of the Yuan family, when the Yellow Turban Army was at its strongest, they didn't dare to make a big show in Runan, but at this time, they got up, and they were somewhat suspicious!" ”

"Lord Xianzun suspects that the Yuan clan and the others connived at them?"

"It's possible!"

Cai Tu said calmly: "The Yuan family is the fourth and third princes, the first gate valve in the world, not to mention that the Yuan family is now the pillar of the imperial court, even if the Yuan family has a deep foundation in Runan, controls most of the population, grain, cloth, iron ore, and can pull out hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses at any time, so if you want to say that the Yellow Turban Thief can gain a foothold in Runan, the Yuan family must be merciful!" ”

"Why?" After all, Li Yan was born in a poor family, and he was not as accurate as Cai Tu about the affairs of the wealthy family, so he was very puzzled.

"The way the world is like this!"

Cai Tu said calmly: "The court is hopeless, the Son of Heaven is dim, trusting the ten permanent eunuchs, and handing over the world's military power to He Jin so much, the state affairs are difficult, the world is restless, everyone is just looking for a way, just like our Cai family master knows that Mushan is a thief, but he has always connived at the thieves to run rampant, it is nothing more than to end a thought of military power, if the world is chaotic in the future, the generation who can hand over the soldiers is the right way, the family is wealthy, interests first, how to return the idea of sages, sad also!" ”

"The county lord is noble, and his subordinates admire him!"

Li Yan's eyes flashed, he looked at Cai Tu's expression changed, this looks a little pedantic and the villain's county is not useless, he is definitely a good hand at governing the county, and he has been quite effective after seizing power, in addition, he only understands the current situation and the wealthy family, and it is not comparable to a person from a poor family like himself now.

This is the innate gap between the children of the family and the children of the poor family.

The children of the family, among the families, there are many eunuchs, and under the influence of the ears and eyes, the vision has already been enlarged, and they have a draft of the current situation in the world.

And the children of the poor family, struggling between food and clothing, reading is also difficult, they can only absorb from books, but they have no experience.

Cai Tu sighed, waved his hand, and expelled these distracting thoughts from his brain, now these are not something that he can deal with with a small county order, it is better for him to take care of the affairs of his Wuyin County Ya, he asked: "This county still wants to know, why did this news come out?" ”

"My subordinates have a guess!" Li Yandao.

"Say!" Cai Tu looked at Li Yan and drank lowly.

"This may be related to some recent price fluctuations in Wuyin City!"

"Is it the civil strife of the merchants under the instigation of those scholars?" Cai Tu frowned.

"That's right!"

Li Yan looked at Cai Tu's disdainful look, and also knew that he was prejudiced against Shang Jia Tiansheng, but he still said carefully: "Don't underestimate these businessmen, adults, they may not be able to mess up the county, but the people behind them can make the county into chaos!" ”

"In this way, the contest between the warriors of Wuyin and Mushan continues on the battlefield of Shangjia!" Li Yan was somewhat enlightened.

"Indeed!"

Li Yan said: "The Wuyin clan has a deep foundation, Mushan holds the military power, and they are incompatible with each other, but they dare not turn their faces, so they can only rely on this way to compete, but the people are wrong, this is a contest between the Wuyin clan and the Mulong Tu!" ”

"It's this kid again, he's very capable!"

"Who says it isn't!" Li Yan said with a smile: "He made a Jingping trading house, and he intended to agree with the power of the merchants, and he didn't want the battlefield to be bloody, so he wanted the feminine knife to scrape the influence of the corporal clan!" ”

"Just these merchants?"

"Adults, don't underestimate them, now that the adults are in the middle position, they dare not be biased, the scholars cannot use the power of the government to suppress them, and even the county seat Meng Wu has to be a man with his tail between his legs at this moment, how dare he offend the county lieutenant who holds a heavy army, so since then, the scholars have cut off their own arms!"

Li Yan said calmly: "And there is Mulong Tu intervening in this, things may not be as they wish!" ”

He paused and said: "Actually, we don't need to care about this matter, in the county, after all, there will be chaos, as long as the adults are upright, whether it is the scholar clan or Mushan, I am afraid they will not dare to be rude to the county government!" ”

"That's right!"

Cai Tu thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "Now it is more important to find out whether the Yellow Turban Thief has any intention of going south, and also, Mu Shan can make a decision about the expedition, if he insists on disobeying the order, I am afraid that Wuyin will fall into the disaster of the sword soldiers!" ”

"Please rest assured, I will convince Makiyama!"

"Hopefully!"

Cai Tu raised his head, looked at the sky, it was cloudless, the corners of his mouth slightly outlined a bitter smile, and then said firmly: "When I was studying, I had an ambition, if I was an official, I would ensure the peace of the party, this Wuyin City will live and die with me, I will never allow anyone to start a war in Wuyin!" ”

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

With the outbreak of rumors, the county fell into a wave of rush to buy, mainly food, and prices began to soar.

"Two stone chestnut rice!"

"Seven hundred dollars a stone!"

"Why is it so expensive?"

"It's at this price now, love to buy it or not!"

"Buy!"

“……”

A day later.

"Shopkeeper, five stone chestnut rice, this is money!"

"Not enough!"

"Why?"

"Look at the sign on it!"

"Eight hundred dollars a stone? Wasn't it only seven hundred yesterday? ”

"I'm sorry, you raised the price today!"

"Buy!"

“……”

Another day passed.

"Conscience millet, nine hundred dollars and one stone, there is only this bit of inventory left, fast hands, slow hands!"

"Here's a stone!"

"Give me two stones!"

"Just give me a bucket!"

“……”

However, in just three or four days, the county seat was shrouded in the atmosphere of war, and the two families were rising steadily, and the price had nearly doubled on weekdays, making the entire county town bright.

……

Jingping Commercial Bank.

Mu Jing was dressed in white like snow, holding a roll of bamboo slips, and the sound of Lang reading aloud echoed in the bamboo forest, no one would have imagined that there would be such a scene in this mundane place where money was piled up.

"Big shopkeeper!" Zhang Heng walked into the bamboo forest and saluted slightly.

"Say!"

Mu Jing put down the book.

"They should be out of stock!" Zhang Heng said: "Continuously raising the price, one stone of rice makes the usual three stone of rice, they can't help but want to make money, so they keep shipping, and they don't care about the small inventory in their hands!" ”

"What will happen to them when they run out of stock?"

"I won't sit still, I'm naturally borrowing!"

"Borrow from whom?"

"It can only be the Shi clan, and now in the entire Wuyin, only the Shi clan has food!"

"Then let them borrow it!"

"Is the price going to go up?"

"Pulling up a little higher!" Mu Jing said calmly: "We have to let them see the benefits before letting them fall into the trap, we just don't know how much power these scholars have to support, the more they come, the better, eat them, in order to make these scholars heartbroken!" ”

"Understood!"

Zhang Heng nodded and left.
