In the hall, the Zhen family gathered together.

Mrs. Zhen sat on the main seat, and there were two distinct rows of people standing beside her.

The one who spoke was a fat man in his forties, who was Zhen Ji, the number two person in the Zhen family.

This time, he came to have a showdown with Mrs. Zhen.

"Selection!"

Mrs. Zhen frowned and said, "The family's major affairs, it is inconvenient for me, a woman, to say anything. But one thing is clear to me. The plague in Yunzhou has been reliably controlled, and Yan'er also said that it will not be long before it will be completely cured. As long as the plague is gone, Yunzhou's business will naturally be on the right track. Isn't it short-sighted for you to leave at this time? Let's talk ...... again."

She paused, and said: "Yunzhou Mu Guo Jia is the son-in-law of our Zhen family, and our Zhen family can have today, and it is also stained with the light of Guo Jia." Now that Yunzhou is at a critical juncture, how can we fall into the ground? ”

You can say that again!

Another old man stood up, his name was Zhen Jian, and he was also Zhen Yi's cousin, but unlike Zhen Ji, he supported Mrs. Zhen.

"Falling leaves return to the roots, the roots of our Zhen family are in Wuji County, no matter how it becomes here, it is our home. The gold and silver houses are not as good as their own thatched houses. No matter how good other people's homes are, they are not ours. How can there be a reason to drag your family and leave yourself to go to someone else's house? I, Zhen Jian, support my wife and stay in Zhongshan. ”

After Zhen Jian finished speaking, many people stood up one after another.

"We are willing to stay in the Zhen family and stay in Wuji County."

"Wuji County is our home, we won't go anywhere!"

"The plague has been controlled, and it won't be long before Yunzhou will be able to return to its former prosperity."

There are still many people who want to stay.

Ha ha!

Zhen Ji suddenly laughed a few times.

"There's something you don't know yet."

The smile on his face grew cold.

"The plague in Yunzhou has lasted for so long and has not been controlled. The merchants have been scared away. Without merchants, there would be no goods flowing into Yunzhou. Over time, the entire Yunzhou will become a dead city. Nothing else, this much-needed medicine and food has been out for a long time. May I ask you, how long has it been since you saw food coming in? ”

Hearing Zhen Ji say this, everyone's faces also changed a little.

It is true that they have not seen food for some days.

is worthy of being a businessman, his vision is very poisonous, and he can see the crisis facing Yunzhou at a glance.

Thanks to the development of border trade, the traditional format of Yunzhou's farming industry has changed.

Many merchants do not sell raw materials immediately after they are shipped, but simply process them into finished or semi-finished products and then sell them.

They want to maximize their interests.

In this case, a lot of labor and space will be required.

The money earned by working for one month is enough for ordinary farmers to work hard for more than half a year, and many farmers have been attracted by the high wages to abandon farming to work.

Working so much money, who still goes to farm?

Over time, the farmers around Zhongshan became handicraftsmen.

As a result, Yunzhou, which was originally scarce in grain production, was even worse.

Fortunately, Yunzhou is a border trade center, and a large amount of grain from the surrounding areas is transported in, which eliminates their worries.

But this time the outbreak of the plague scared off the merchants of Yunzhou.

If there is no demand, there will be no market, and naturally no one will send food in.

"Everyone!"

Zhen Ji sneered and said, "How many mouths there are in Yunzhou, you know better than me." Once the food is gone, what kind of things will they do? Do you think the Zhen family can hold on? ”

The crowd fell silent again.

Once the food is cut off, the poor people will riot, and the rich people in the city will be the first victims.

The Zhen family naturally could not escape, and it was another Yellow Turban Rebellion.

From this point of view, it is also somewhat prescient for Zhen Ji to ask for the transfer to Zhuo County.

A lot of people are starting to move.

"Don't listen to his alarmism."

Zhen Yan couldn't help it, and he strode into the hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a large amount of grain in Zhongshan Treasury, and there is no crisis at all."

After Zhen Yi died, Zhen Yan succeeded him as the head of the Zhen family.

But this person's temperament is a little weak, and he can't suppress so many ambitious uncles and brothers, and he is gradually being hollowed out by these people.

"Oh, the virtuous nephew is back?"

Zhen Jipi smiled and said: "The virtuous nephew came just in time, you are an official in Yunzhou, so you naturally have to be clearer about the affairs of Yunzhou." Let me ask you, has the plague in Wuji County been controlled? ”

He didn't have much respect for the young head of the house.

Naturally, it was controlled!

Zhen Yan snorted.

Is it?

The smile on Zhen Ji's face suddenly froze.

"Then how did the old man hear that you sent someone to buy herbs below overnight? If the disease is under control, what do you want herbs for? Besides, Yunzhou is so big and has so much inventory, why would you let you raise it with a small county order? ”

This......

Zhen Yanden was speechless.

He was originally a wooden person, and he was not very good at arguing, so he was squeezed by Zhen Ji for a while.

Alas!

Madame Zhen let out a long sigh.

This son is good at everything, that is, he is a little peaceful, peace is a virtue, but as the head of the family, it is a little insufficient.

It is difficult for Zhen Yan's temperament to suppress these uncles who are ready to move.

Zhen Ji was speechless when he saw this nephew, and he was even more arrogant at the moment.

"Virtuous nephew, you are the county commander, and it is understandable to speak to Guo Jia, but you can't tell lies with a stuffy conscience. We're your family. Do you have to put the Zhen family in a dead end? ”

He suddenly said loudly: "Tell me, isn't this the reason? ”

Hearing Zhen Ji say this, some of the people who transferred this time spoke one after another.

"What the second master said is that everyone is gone, wouldn't it be a loss for our Zhen family not to leave? I support the second master. ”

"When Guo Jia first came to Zhongshan, our Zhen family also made a big effort, but now Yunzhou is no longer good, and we can't sit and wait with him. I support the second master! ”

"Well said, we are in business, so naturally where do we have interests? Can't hang yourself from a tree? ”

Everyone has supported the transfer of the industry.

You guys......

Zhen Yan was a little annoyed and angry again, but he couldn't say anything for a while.

Although Mrs. Zhen wants to say it, she is a woman, and she doesn't know where to start.

Orphans and widows were squeezed out of their mouths.

Just then, a woman's voice rang out.

"The reason why the Zhen family has been able to become one of the best in Yunzhou over the years is because of the unique vision of the ancestor and the treasure on Guo Jia's body. After Guo Jia took office, he did not treat our Zhen family badly. When it's time to make money, you don't leave. Now that Yunzhou is in trouble, you want to slip away, how to face the fathers of Yunzhou in that case? Besides, it has only been a few years since my father died, and you have begun to act and start to oppress his widow, do you still have any shame? ”
