slapped his face with facts, and easily rebelled against Xu Kuang, so Shen Zhezi knew Zhu Gong's plan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

To deal with a Zhu Gong, in fact, there is no need to go through such a lot of trouble. But in line with the idea of making the best use of things, Shen Zhezi wanted to squeeze out the Zhu family's wealth to raise enough food for his family to survive the winter, so he had to make a false promise.

In the era of material abundance in later generations, it is difficult to understand how terrible the lack of food was in ancient times. Not to mention that there are still military disasters this year, even if it is just a few large families who want to hoard and pretend to be rumors, it can cause great panic in one place and make prices fluctuate.

In ancient times, China had a vast land and abundant resources, and even if there was a famine, it often only occurred in one place, and if it could not be quickly relieved, Russia would become a disaster. However, it takes time to mobilize the flow of food, and with the current transportation conditions, a large number of people can starve to death in a few days. Especially now that winter is approaching, it is more difficult to transport grain.

Later generations discussed the food shortage, and most of them were based on the theory of why not eat minced meat. The huge population controlled by the Shen family is not only a strong capital, but also a heavy burden. If we can't raise enough food in the last 10 days, when the temperature drops and winter comes, the water transportation will not be smooth, and we will almost be trapped and waiting for death.

It is precisely because the situation is so grim that some people will watch the fire from across the shore and fall into the ground. As soon as the cold winter comes, Wu Xingzuo is close to anyone who has surplus grain in his family, he can slaughter the Shen family here and sit on the ground and raise the price. Even if you miss this wave of feasts, there will be food shortages in various places after the beginning of spring, and there will be no loss of grain in hand.

If Zhu Gong wants to coerce the Shen family, first, he must have a large amount of rice grain in hand, and second, he must store the rice and grain in Wuxing for easy access. For Shen Zhezi, this guy is not only a big piece of fat, but also a part-time transportation captain, so he is naturally reluctant to solve it as soon as possible.

Therefore, in the past few days, some small households in Wuxing have been disturbed by Zhu Gong and want to sell the surplus grain to the Shen family, but Shen Zhezi has ignored them.

At present, in Wuxing, there are only two families that have an urgent need for food, the first is naturally the Shen family, and the second is Zhu Gong. In addition to slaughtering the Shen family, Zhu Gong also had a handle held by the Shen family, and if he wanted to have peace of mind, he could only raise more food for self-protection. If he can't take this opportunity to hit the Shen family hard, as soon as the Shen family recovers, he will be finished.

After Xu Kuang was rebelled, in order to show his loyalty, he not only listed the details of Zhu Gong's grain raising, but also listed the major households in Wuxing who had contact with Zhu Gong. With Zhu Gong, he naturally does not have the influence to respond to every call, but all families have common interests, so naturally there is a premise for unity.

The Shen family is a Wuxing tyrant, and even if there is a shortage of food in previous years, it will not be so embarrassed and critical. This year can be said to be a typical example of not dying, but all the old families who are closer to them are implicated, and they still have to rely on the Shen family for help. The remaining households with food either have no contact with each other, or there is still a feud, and it is also the right thing to unite to isolate the Shen family.

After getting such detailed information, Shen Zhezi was even more sure, led Xu Kuang back to the hall, and said a few more words for Xu Kuang in front of Xu Cheng, who was still angry and guilty, and then sent Xu Kuang back to Zhu Gong's side. He also relied on Xu Kuang to instigate Zhu Gong to increase grain collection, and his previous bad deeds could not be taken into account for the time being.

With Shen Zhezi's guidance, Xu Kuang returned to the manor where Zhu Gong was hiding in Wukang County. Since the clan uncle tied him up to the Shen family, his end has been doomed to tragedy, no matter what the situation of the Shen family is this winter, it is more than enough to pinch him to death. The difference in thought is so bad, and now I will make more efforts, only to ask the Shen family to remember his work and let his wife and children go.

The temperature was already quite wet and cold, but the room was still warm as spring, and Zhu Gong's mood was as hot as a charcoal basin in the corner. He sat there with his chest bare, fiddling with the case and calculating the plan, and when he was interested, he took a wine glass and drank it all, occasionally playing with the beauty next to him, which can be described as extremely enjoyable.

Seeing Xu Kuang walking in with a depressed expression, Zhu Gong laughed and asked Xu Kuang to sit down under him: "Why is Xu Jun unhappy?" ”

"Alas, the Ming Mansion doesn't know, my uncle knew that I was coming to Wukang and summoned me to reprimand me severely." Xu Kuang is in such a state of mind, but there is no need to disguise, the real expression is full of sorrow.

Hearing this, Zhu Gong was shocked, although he had a little connection in the Wukang realm, he didn't dare to jump too much under the nose of the Shen family, and Xu Kuang had to rely on Xu Kuang to come forward to collect grain, so he was naturally worried that Xu Kuang would abandon him and not use it.

"What is it that makes Xu Jun frown, I see. Speaking of which, Xu Jun is not the only one who has this trouble, and I also feel the same way! The old and incompetent family does not sit and sit on the council, where will we know the hard work of those of us who work inside and outside. These old decays should only be worshiped in a high bed, if everything is listened to their pedantic opinions, how can the family business not decay! ”

Zhu Gong sighed with deep feelings: "Elder Ling, do you know that you are running for me to raise food?" Xu Jun, please rest assured, you also know that the Shen family has run out of food and is on the verge of collapse. As long as I hold on for a while longer, and when the big thing is accomplished, I will not enjoy the return alone, and I want to share a piece of the pie with Xu Jun. It is inevitable that the Zunfu will fluctuate this time, Xu Jun can be alone, and it is not impossible to return home to the main sacrifice in the future! ”

Hearing Zhu Gong's blind and confident words, Xu Kuang's heart was even more bitter. He personally saw that the Shen family's grain reserves were abundant, even if there were some gaps, they were by no means as vulnerable as Zhu Gong said, so he no longer trusted Zhu Gong's words.

However, he still sighed and said: "The elder reprimanded, it was not that I was raising food for the Ming Mansion, but I heard some rumors recently, which were related to the Ming Mansion Gate, so I was reprimanded not to be too intimate with the Ming Mansion." ”

When Zhu Gong heard this, a sense of crisis suddenly surged into his heart. He was most worried that the Shen family would ignore the food danger and publicize the fact that he favored his concubine and killed his wife. Nowadays, the marriage of the family has both practical needs and sacred significance.

If his behavior is made public, it will inevitably be boiling, and there is no need for the Shen family to make a move, just the few brothers in his own family who have long coveted his family business will probably rise up to attack him, clean up the door, and divide his family business by the way!

Therefore, Zhu Gong also realized that he was a little overconfident, and if he blindly isolated the Shen family, if he really forced him, it was inevitable that the dog would jump over the wall and bite him back. For the sake of today's plan, in addition to increasing the intensity of food raising, it is also necessary to deepen contact with the Wuxing family to stabilize the front, and at the same time, we must also find ways to appease the Shen family. Let them see a glimmer of possibility and vitality, so that they will not have any thoughts of breaking the boat.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gongqiang laughed and said, "My house is peaceful, what rumors are spreading outside?" If I don't even know, I guess some people are fabricating rumors to slander me! ”

Seeing that Xu Kuang was still a little suspicious, Zhu Gong cheered up again to comfort him: "Now is the critical moment, Xu Jun should not be stumped by trivial things, so that he misses the opportunity!" What kind of temperament Shen Shiju is, and why he has been promoted to a prominent position, you and I both know. If I can't overwhelm the hope of the Shen family's homeland this time, I still have the protection of my family, how can Xu Jun survive on his own? ”

Hearing Zhu Gong's such blunt and threatening words, Xu Kuang scolded in his heart, and regretted even more that he had planned something big with this untrustworthy person. After a long period of silence, he sighed: "I am of the same heart and mind as the Ming Mansion, and I will never back down for this important matter!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Gongcai smiled, and separated Mei Ji from one person next to him, using the warm fragrance of nephrite jade to soothe Xu Kuang's disordered mood. When he saw that Xu Kuang's expression was no longer hesitant, he spoke again: "Later, I will bother Xu Jun to go to the Shen family, and I only say that I have 80,000 pieces of rice and grain here." In-laws and deceased families, everything can be discussed. ”

"It's just a trivial matter, but, eighty thousand hundred?" Xu Kuang raised the face buried in Mei Ji's crisp breasts, and hesitated in his words.

"It's eighty thousand!"

Zhu Gongyu said decisively that he had nearly 40,000 grains in his home, and recently raised nearly 20,000 grains in Wuxing, which was almost the limit of his financial resources. But in order to make the Shen family more worried, it is better to falsely report some amounts, which is also a bluff to learn from the Shen family's transportation of grain from Beijing.

Xu Kuang's rumors made Zhu Gong not only vigilant, but also saw the weakness of the Shen family. With the strength of his family in the past years, there is no reason for him not to fight back immediately at this humiliation, but so far he has only had sporadic rumors, which shows that the Shen family has no confidence at all. This gave rise to his confidence in hitting the Shen family hard, and he planned to put a heavy bet on it.

"A few days ago, didn't the Chen family on the Great Wall still have thousands of rice grains? Please Xu Jun make an appointment for me, I will buy it all. ”

"But the price of the Chen family's grain is still high, didn't you say that you would ignore it?" Xu Kuang said strangely.

"Whoever wants to do great things, he must give something. If it weren't for the excessive attrition, how could Shen Shiju be promoted? He aspires to be famous, but I only seek local real resources, which is to take what each needs. ”

As soon as the decision was made, Zhu Gong did not hesitate, and said to Xu Kuang: "Except for the Chen family, other families can't miss it." Thirty or fifty Hu is not less, one thousand eight hundred Hu is not too much, and I will buy as much loose grain as there is! This is the so-called strong wall and clear wilderness, I want to let the countryside in Wuxing have no more grain! ”

"However, these families have to pay for both goods and goods......

At present, food is in short supply, and large households are reluctant to sell their warehouses, while small households are willing to deliver goods when they see the money, and do not accept white slips.

Zhu Gong pondered for a moment before he resolutely said: "The matter of wealth and goods, there is no need for Xu Jun to work hard, I will turn over a batch from home, and it will be there in ten days." Xu Jun doesn't have to worry about it, in short, I want as much grain as there is! ”

Hearing Zhu Gong's statement, Xu Kuang sighed in his heart. Zhu Gong is going to give it his all, just like Shen Zhezi predicted before, people's hearts are playing to the extreme, and thinking about it makes people feel palpitations. Therefore, Xu Kuang is more inclined to think that it was Shen Chong who decided to lead Zhu Gong into the game, and if the plot came from a teenager, it would be terrible.

He also didn't understand Zhu Gong in his heart, it was okay to seek a family business, why bother putting himself in such a dangerous situation? Even if it can be successful, being divided by Zhu Gong to the Shen family's more than half of the land is a big injury, and if you want to recuperate and recover, it will take several years to accumulate.

But this is not something he should worry about, he only followed Shen Zhezi's instructions, respectfully accepted the order, and then said: "Ming Mansion, do you remember that I returned from Longxi a few days ago, and said that the Shen family seems to have been arranged in Wukang Mountain?" I have gained something in the past few days, can the Ming Mansion listen to it? ”
