"It's true that you won't force you to stay, but the person who doesn't agree is afraid that the ship will be sunk on Poyang Lake in a few days. Wu Rui, who was next, sneered in his heart.

Wu Rui, the eldest son of the Wu family, but this "son" is a little older, his father is now in his eighties, but he still adheres to the tradition of the family and refuses to pass it on to him.

The Wu family moved to Yuzhang in recent decades, and was originally a wealthy family in Shandong, but the family was in the middle of the road and could not keep the family business, so they could only go away to a foreign land and seek other development.

The purpose of this gathering Wu Rui is very clear, and Wu Rui also knows the reason for the chaotic battles in Yuzhang City in recent days. This time, Wang Yuan summoned them to come for a reason, which was naturally a matter of standing in line.

Wang Yuan secretly took refuge in Yuzhang Taishou Wang Xian, and Wu Rui didn't know about this until today, and looking at the expressions of the other people present, it was obvious that they had already known about this matter.

For this reason, Wu Rui was naturally unhappy in his heart. Of course, for the sake of the family's interests, it is nothing to be unhappy, but Wang Yuan's actions made him feel chilled for a while, and he had a feeling of being a pawn, and he would inevitably have more worries about the situation after standing in line.

"Brother Wu, what do you think?" Wang Yuan's eyes were very keen, and although the doubts between Wu Rui's eyebrows were fleeting, they could not escape his sight.

For a while, everyone on the field turned their eyes to Wu Rui's face, and Wang Shuo, who was standing quietly beside Wang Yuan, also looked at him calmly.

Wu Rui's heart tightened, but there was no slightest abnormality on his face, and he replied with a smile: "My Wu family is a wealthy family in Shandong, but my family has just left for a long time, and my father and I are always thinking about restoring the former glory of the Fù family, how can we miss such a good opportunity?"

After Wang Yuan listened, the smile on his face was much softer, and he said: "Brother Wu, don't worry, this time it is the joint action of the seven sects, five surnames and seven families, plus Lord Taishou has also contacted the wealthy families of other counties, but we only need to deal with the Wan family with all our might, for this reason, there is no possibility of failure this time!"

Wu Rui nodded with satisfaction when he heard this.

A silent storm is gone, at least on the surface.

Subsequently, the consensus began to discuss specific steps, including how much land each company should vacate, when and at what price to put it on the market, and at which price to sell more professional topics, using nothing more than self-buying and self-selling speculation.

This qiē step was naturally designed by Lu Zongbao a long time ago, and everyone present only needed to implement it step by step.

There was more than one such gathering, and not long after Wang Xian began to contact the forces gathered in his hands, the heat of the land trade in Yuzhang County began to heat up dramatically.

The most obvious change is that the price of land in the major square cities in Yuzhang City has increased several times in just two days, and has caught up with the price of Yangzhou on the same day.

In the face of such a market, from all over the country rushed to Yuzhang to invest in the outsiders one by one excited, these people in these days more or less in their hands have bought some land, now the price of land skyrocketed, the wealth invested immediately increased in value, naturally excited.

As a result, those foreign investors who only tasted a few days ago and did not go all out to make a move no longer hold their hands at this step, shrewd people have begun to notice the abnormality, and their intuition tells them that this round of price increases should be the end of the battle for land in Yuzhang, if they do not firmly seize this opportunity, there will be no possibility of making money after that.

Therefore, no matter how great the risk is, these speculators rarely withdraw, and there are very few people who can control their desires in the face of low-hanging wealth.

The crazy entry of this group of speculators once again made the land market in Yuzhang City hot.

The price of cultivated land outside the city has also risen hugely, and the scattered peasant households who have taken the risk of selling their farmland have been transformed into rich and noble families with thousands of dollars in their pockets overnight, causing an impetuous atmosphere to waft everywhere in the calm countryside, and those villagers who were stopped by the village chief a few days ago and did not sell their cultivated land have also begun to sit still, and the village chiefs are facing increasing pressure.

A kind of madness like Yangzhou City is spreading in Yuzhang County......

"Day and night, I finally couldn't prevent it!" Huang Xian sighed in a spacious hall.

There are nearly ten middle-aged men sitting in two rows in the hall, the first one sitting is Wan Dezhao, the head of the Wan family, Huang Xian is sitting on Wan Dezhao's left hand seat at this moment, and he is sitting opposite Luo Zheng, the head of the Luo family.

Behind these two rows of people, there is still a young man standing quietly behind each of them at this moment, including Huang Kai and Luo Xing, it seems that they should be the juniors of each family, and they are also the kind of juniors who will take over the position of the head of the family.

After Huang Xian sighed, everyone present was silent, at the beginning they tried their best to strictly guard against death, in order to prevent the people of the seven sects and five surnames, so that they could not trade through the land and cause trouble to the entire Yuzhang, but now, Yuzhang County is filled with a crazy atmosphere like Yangzhou City, like a pot of boiling oil, as long as a little spark can ignite the entire Yuzhang.

"I just said that we shouldn't have put the land in the hands of the villagers themselves! If we still have enough land in our hands now......" Luo Zhengxin said straightforwardly, and immediately expressed his thoughts in his heart.

Before he could finish speaking, Huang Xian, who was sitting opposite him, angrily reprimanded: "Luo Zheng, what are you talking about!"

After speaking, he glanced at Wan Dezhao on the main seat with the corner of his eye, Luo Zheng saw this, immediately came to his senses, closed his mouth, and secretly glanced at Wan Dezhao, seeing that he was still quietly bowing his head and contemplating, then he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Uncle Luo, it's useless!" It was not Wan Dezhao who spoke, but Wan Shijun, the second son of the Wan family beside him.

The young people present were very surprised that Wan Shijun spoke out rashly on such a formal occasion without his father's consent, Wan Shijun is not such a person who does not know the importance of it!

It's just that the reactions of the heads of the families present were even more unexpected than they expected, and the heads of the families, including Wan Dezhao himself, did not show any annoyed or unhappy look at Wan Shijun's sudden voice, and did not even have a surprised expression, as if it was a matter of course for Wan Shijun to have an equal dialogue with them on such an occasion.

Seeing this, the young people in the audience had some guesses in their hearts.

"Oh?" Luo Zheng looked at Wan Shijun with a puzzled face.

Wan Shijun bowed slightly, and said again: "This time, the seven sects and five surnames are coming with all their might, plus there is the example of Yangzhou City in the front, which has attracted so many outsiders to Yuzhang City, and these people are all coming with money. As long as the price is high, where are you afraid that someone will not sell the land?"

"However, as long as we hold most of the land in our hands, even if they have more money and no matter how high the price is, we don't sell it, is it possible that they can still rob it?" Luo Zheng was not easy to fool, and immediately asked rhetorically.

"Hehe, is it possible?" Wan Shijun didn't say anything, just asked lightly.

When Luo Zheng heard this, he was speechless for a while, and after thinking of some things, he fell silent, and what he said just now was just a complaint that he couldn't bear for a while, and the matter had come to this point, so what was the use of forcing the past? Moreover, they chose to divide the land of Yuzhang County among the villages and households, and to restrain the scale of the land annexation of each family, for the sake of a long-term goal, which is a method that has been proven for hundreds or even thousands of years, and is the most suitable method for them, which is obviously much more important than the current crisis.

"The matter has come to this point, it is useless to talk more, let's think about how to solve it!" Huang Xian said to bring the topic back on track.

Wan Shijun looked at his father, Wan Dezhao didn't react, so he talked to everyone present: "The other party is using a yang strategy, and for today's plan, he can only accept it in a dignified manner!"

"How?" asked Huang Xian.

"If they enter the market, we will enter the market!" Wan Shijun replied.

"Isn't it too late now?" asked Huang Xian.

"It's not too late! we didn't make a move in the early stage, but we have plenty of cash on hand, plus the land in our hands, it's easy to enter the market and do something, but it just depends on who has better control ability. Wan Shijun said this with a little bit of pride.

After everyone listened, they habitually turned their searching eyes on Wan Dezhao.

Sensing that everyone was watching him, Wan Dezhao slowly raised his head, calmly glanced at everyone present, and then said: "According to Wan An's report, the cultivated land in the villages and towns of Yuzhang County has been abandoned in this spring ploughing season. ”

As soon as Wan Dezhao said it, it had nothing to do with the topic just now, but everyone present felt a strong crisis in this matter.

At this moment, Wan Dezhao's flat voice sounded again: "You should understand what this means!"

Huang Xian nodded heavily, and replied heavily: "Now the peasants of Yuzhang County are fluctuated by this skyrocketing land, and they are all fantasizing about selling their arable land and becoming rich overnight, how can they still have the heart to work in the fields?"

Another rather old middle-aged man beside Huang Xian also said loudly: "Not only the peasants outside the city, but also the people in the city have no intention of producing now, and the workshops in various parts of the city have now shown signs of stopping production, and all kinds of signs indicate that the general turmoil in Yangzhou City last month will also be staged in Yuzhang City, and once the turmoil appears, we will be hit hard like the gang of families in Yangzhou." ”

"Moreover, there are seven clans and five surnames beside us!" Wan Dezhao said the last sentence in a heavy tone.

The atmosphere in the venue was a little tense for a while, and the young people didn't dare to take a breath.

Wan Dezhao didn't waste much time, and then said: "Yuzhang's matter can be said according to what Shijun just said!"

"And I, I want to go to Chang'an in person! To solve the bell, you must tie the bell, since a qiē starts from Chang'an, then if you want to end this qiē, you can only go to Chang'an!"

When Huang Xian heard this, he immediately asked, "What is Brother Wan going to do?"

Wan Dezhao smiled, but he was a little cold, and said indifferently: "This group of people who came to Yuzhang are more or less from some backgrounds, and most of them have family relatives in the court, if there is a sudden big political tide in Chang'an City, do you think they will stay in Yuzhang to make money with peace of mind?"

Huang Xian didn't ask any more, just nodded quietly, since Wan Dezhao had already said so, then a political tide in Chang'an City was inevitable.

"In addition, there is also news, each of the seven sects and five surnames has a master of the Grandmaster Realm this time, a total of seven! Now it has crossed the Yangtze River and entered the territory of Yuzhang County!" Wan Dezhao then broke an important news again.

It's just that the heads of the families seemed a little calm after hearing the news, and Huang Xian answered again: "Brother Wan, don't worry! Let Wan An accompany you, these seven old immortals, we will drag them down!"

Everyone present nodded silently.

Wan An went with me, and the old people in the family were a little insufficient, and the number of the two families was still a little worse. Wan Dezhao said.

"It's okay! Isn't it just a few old horsemen! Although we have fewer equal people, but Yuzhang is our home field, and we have a lot of people, so we are not afraid that we can't crush them!" Luo Zheng replied domineeringly.

"Okay!" Wan Dezhao bowed slightly, and then said: "There is also the matter of Shijun, Shijun is only nineteen this year, and he should have been crowned next year, but now that this matter has happened, the old man has decided to follow the old rules, and let Shijun perform the crown ceremony this year, fortunately, Shijun, this child, can also pick up this burden." ”

"Brother Wan, just go!, Shi Junxian's nephew, there are still our old guys here!" Huang Xian said with a solemn expression.

Huang Xian's words are more like a guarantee, a guarantee for Wan Dezhao's "orphan" move!

The seven sects and five surnames came with all their might, and now the ten thousand families have to break the cauldron and sink the boat, the seven masters of the Grandmaster Realm have arrived in Yuzhang, Wan An and Wan Dezhao want to break through their blockade and go calmly, where is it so easy? Not to mention the huge risks that they will face if they want to achieve their goals after entering Beijing, it can really be described as a crisis step by step, and Wan Dezhao has this excuse to be just in case.

"That'...... Is the coming-of-age ceremony of Shi Junxian's nephew a big ceremony or a small ceremony?" Luo Zheng asked thoughtfully.

As soon as this question came out, everyone in the audience looked at Wan Dezhao expectantly.

Wan Dezhao smiled and said softly: "The old man said, this time the danger is too big, open the ceremony!"

When everyone heard this, they were immediately overjoyed, and the expressions on their faces immediately relaxed a lot, and they all breathed a long sigh of relief.

After a while, everyone cleaned up their feelings, all stood up, bowed deeply to Wan Dezhao who was in the first place, looked solemn, and said in a low voice: "Brother Lao, Brother Wan, this trip, a qiē cherish!"

Wan Dezhao calmly accepted everyone's gifts.

The sudden scene in the field shocked the young people present, only Wan Shijun looked at his father expressionlessly, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes.

At the same time, in a small town in the northeast of Yuzhang County, which is located on the main traffic route, in an inconspicuous small courtyard, seven old men in different costumes are sitting or standing quietly in the courtyard at the moment.

The seven old men did not look much different from the usual old men, except that a few of them were wearing expensive clothes, which made people see their extraordinary origins at a glance, while the other old men in cloth shirts looked like ordinary old peasants, except for the occasional dazzling light in their eyes that made people perceive their extraordinary.

At this moment, the only two old men among the seven old men who were sitting in front of a stone table were quietly tasting the fragrant tea in their hands with the tea cup in their hands, and the other five did not have the slightest impatience when they saw this.

If the younger generations of their family saw this scene, they would definitely be amazed, how could their usually high-ranking ancestors have such a quiet waiting moment?

"Yes, although this Yuzhang's tea is a little lighter, it is just the same as the taste of us old fellows!" said one of the old men, who had been making it at the stone table.

The old man's face was thin, his ten fingers were slender, and his body was not as strong as the one opposite, and he looked weak, but with his decoration, it also showed the taste of fairy wind bones.

The sturdy old man on the opposite side has thick limbs, gray stubble scattered on his chin, and there is a shallow scar between his eyebrows, the wound looks very shallow, but it has obviously gone through the invasion of the years, but I don't know why such a small wound is still clearly left in the deep wrinkles on his forehead with the old man's net worth and profound cultivation.

The sturdy old man drank all the tea in the teacup in one go, and then opened his big mouth and chewed the tea leaves together and swallowed them.

While chewing, he complained: "What a broken tea! Fade out of the bird! However, this tea still has a fresh fragrance when chewed." ”

"Where did this tea come from? After drinking tea for so many years, I really haven't tasted where this tea is produced?" asked the sturdy old man after chewing the tea leaves.

The old man on the other side didn't have any words or expressions for his behavior of chewing peonies, but replied calmly: "I heard that the seller said that this tea is called 'West Lake Longjing', tea from Hangzhou. ”

"I haven't heard of it!" The sturdy old man tilted his head and thought about it when he heard this, and then waved his hand: "No matter! Go back and find someone to drag a few hundred catties back!"

This time, the old man with the fairy wind bones finally reacted, glanced at the other party lightly, and said, "This tea is one or two gold and one or two tea leaves!"

"So expensive?" the sturdy old man exclaimed with a pair of bull's eyes, and then sighed as if he had given up: "Forget it!

The old man of the fairy wind didn't pay attention to this naughty words, put down the tea cup in his hand, looked up at a few people in the courtyard, and said seriously: "The purpose of coming to Yuzhang this time must be clear to everyone!

"Since we are here with the idea of destroying the family and destroying the clan, then don't think about being lucky, the strength of those old guys in the Wan family is not weak, and under the desperate death, it is inevitable that a few of our people here will be killed and injured, but I put my words here, I will go up to the most difficult one, as for you...... If you avoid a fight and don't fight, don't blame me for turning my face and denying people afterwards!"
