Zheng Qian's guess was right, the battle of Zhao Zheng was indeed the young Zhao Yu who was planning the overall situation, because his father, the Marquis of Luyang, thought that he could not do better than his son after listening to his son's plan.

But then again, planning for this 'war' is indeed a relatively boring and time-consuming thing, after all, how could the dignified Ruyang Zheng clan be defeated in a short period of time?

So, Zhao Yu, who took Zhao's rice shop on Ruyang West Street as the 'general base', renovated the second floor of the rice shop and put beds, tables and chairs.

At this time, Zhao Yu lay down on the couch, while flipping through the account books of his family's shops in Ruyang City for several days, while enjoying the service of Jing Nu pinching his shoulders and legs, and from time to time, he would pick up a dried plum from the bowl on the small stool next to him, or stuff it into his mouth, or stuff it into Jing Nu's mouth, and the small day was very comfortable.

"Wow."

With a sound of footsteps, Zhang Ji walked up with the latest account book, seeing this scene, he was also interested, put the account book on the table, and immediately exited the room, not to disturb the little two.

I don't know how long it took, Zhao Yu, who was still smiling and enjoying Jingnu's service at first, suddenly frowned, and the whole person sat upright next to the bed at once, and instructed Jingnu: "Jingnu, call Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng up." ”

"Yes."

Jingnu didn't understand what she meant, but she did it anyway.

After a while, Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng came to the second floor and asked puzzledly, "What does the second son command?" ”

I saw Zhao Yu spread the account book flat on his legs, beckoned to Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng and said, "This is the account book that Zhang Ji just brought up, do you see the problem?" ”

Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng looked at each other, not understanding what Zhao Yu meant.

Having trouble with the books?

Who will do what little action?

Seeing that the two of them looked confused, Zhao Yu said angrily: "Didn't I say that someone made false accounts, I asked you to see the amount of grain purchased by the locals, do you see the problem?" Every one or two times, someone buys three or five stones in one go......"

Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng were suddenly surprised, and then Ma Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said: "Now a hundred yuan is a stone of rice, and five stones are only five hundred yuan, in exchange for the past, you can only buy more than two stones, such a low price, I want to come to Ruyang to take out the money at the bottom of the box, right?" ”

Zhao Yu shook his head and said: "Let's not talk about the rest of the counties, our rice shop was opened in late February, and now it is March 17th, and the Zheng family on the opposite side has been fighting for nearly 20 days. Moreover, even from a psychological point of view, civilians will not throw all the money they have left, because they feel that in a few days there may be cheaper rice...... People are always like that. ”

Zhang Ji seemed to understand a little, squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice: "What does the second prince mean is that these people who buy rice for a few stones and a few stones are sent by the Zheng family on the other side?" ”

"That's not going to happen." Zhao Yu casually handed the account book to Ma Cheng, touched a dried plum from the bowl on the small stool next to him, and said while sucking: "The Zheng family wants to save face like that, how can they take the risk of doing this?" In case one of us catches one, let's give him a big hype, and his Zheng family won't want to look up and see people in Ruyang in the future. What's more, how many meters has their family lost so far? 5,000 stone was killed. The dignified Ruyang Zheng family, because of the loss of these 5,000 stone meters, they are going to make a dangerous move? I don't believe it. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Ji said in confusion: "The second son means ......"

"It was the merchants of Ruyang and other families who did it."

Touching a dried plum and stuffing it into the mouth of the shy Jingnu, Zhao Yu said, "Haven't you thought about it? Although Ruyang is the dominant Zheng family, there are actually other businessmen and family forces in Ruyang, they first watched the struggle between my Zhao family and the Zheng family, but now for some reason, they have begun to take advantage of it......"

Saying this, Zhao Yu walked to the window and looked at the street below from the window.

At this time, I saw that on his side of Zhao's rice shop, from time to time someone left with a car full of grain, but on the other hand, there was almost no such situation at Zheng's rice shop.

"It's quite cunning, Zheng Qian." He chuckled.

"Second son." Zhang Ji stepped forward and said in a low voice, "Do you want to ask people to make a big splash?" ”

"Preach what?" Zhao Yu said casually: "Do you think the Zheng family will be stupid enough to admit it in person, ah, these people are what I ordered?" They will not admit it, and neither will the local merchants and family forces who have been instructed by them, on the contrary, they will in turn humiliate us, thinking that we are weak-hearted. ”

"But ......," Zhang Ji hesitated.

"Heh, two big fish are biting each other, and they are gnawed to death by a group of small fish from the side, that's funny." Snorting lightly, Zhao Yu said with a little unhappiness: "But don't worry, I have considered this 'third party' before, but they have not moved before, I still think they are quite acquainted, consider whether to be gentle in the future, and this is the current situation...... Hmph, go back and send someone to check to see who in the city has hoarded a large amount of food, and I will focus on taking care of it in the future. ”

"I'm afraid it's hard to check."

Ma Cheng stepped forward and said in embarrassment: "We don't have enough manpower, just running a few shops in the city is stretched, and we really can't send many manpower......

Hearing this, before Zhao Yu could speak, Zhang Ji offered advice on the side: "Why don't we spend some money to hire locals to investigate?" It doesn't hurt if you can't find it, the news is released, at least it can make those businessmen and families restrain a little, if they don't want to be taught a lesson by us in the future. ”

"That's a good idea. …… I can't see it, Zhang Ji, he has both courage and strategy! ”

Zhao Yu raised his hand and pointed at Zhang Ji, and did not hesitate to praise Zhang Ji.

"The second son has an overreputation, and he is ashamed." Zhang Ji said embarrassedly.

There was a burst of laughter in the room.

Immediately, Zhao Yu looked at the street below coldly, and said: "Just follow Zhang Ji's method, warn those merchants and families who are trying to get cheap, and they don't need to spend too much energy, when the time is ripe in the future, the merchants of my Luye Freemasonry will be killed, and at least half of the shops in Runan City will die!" ”

As he spoke, he glanced up at the Zheng family's rice shop in the distance, and continued: "As for the Zheng family...... Zhang Ji, Ma Cheng, you two come over with your ears. ”

"Yes!" Zhang Ji and Ma Cheng leaned over and approached Zhao Yu and listened to Zhao Yu whisper a few words in their ears.

Zhang Ji praised it from the bottom of his heart: "The second son's idea is called wonderful, then Zheng Qian is afraid that he will be angry with the second son." …… Go on this next. ”

"Hmm."

After a while, Zhao's rice shop suspended the sale of grain, causing many onlookers on the street to be puzzled and surprised.

"The Zhao family has stopped selling grain, isn't it unbearable?"

"Hey, what Luyang Zhao, it's not a big deal."

"Alas, I would have grabbed some more rice if I had known, and I was waiting for them to reduce the price again...... Now it's okay, as soon as the Zhao family is defeated, the Zheng family will definitely restore the original price of rice immediately, maybe it will be higher than the original price of rice, alas......"

"What are you anxious about? You forget, just two days ago, another grain ship of the Zhao family docked in Hejin, and in one breath it brought another 5,000 stone of grain, most of which were still piled up in the warehouse in Hejin. …… The Zhao family is at most short of manpower to move grain, not to mention, I will go to Hejina first and wait, the Zhao family is still very generous in hiring people. ”

Just when the onlookers on the street were discussing, Zhang Ji suddenly walked outside the store with a rather large wooden sign and hung it on the other side of the door.

People on the street hurriedly rushed up to look, but saw the wooden sign with the words "five thousand stones" written on it.

What does that mean?

Just when everyone was puzzled, they saw Zhang Ji take a stack of thick account books from the servants in the store.

I saw him holding the account book in his left hand, patting the wooden sign hanging on the right side with his right hand, and shouting loudly: "Do you know what the 'five thousand stones' on this wooden card mean?" That is, so far, my Zhao family has sold 5,000 stone grain and rice in Ruyang......"

"Five thousand stones?"

There was a burst of exclamations in the streets.

"What? Unbelief? Zhang Jituo sneered in the account book in his hand: "This thing can't be faked, except for my account book as proof, I believe you all see it." ”

Speaking of this, he changed his tone and said in a contemptuous tone: "But I don't know how much the other side has sold so far?" A thousand stones? Two thousand stones? Hahahaha......"

After a burst of arrogant smiles, Zhang Ji stretched out his right hand and pointed to the signboard of 'Zhao's Rice Shop', and shouted in a loud and almost roaring voice: "This Ruyang, it is enough to have my Zhao's Rice Shop!" ”

After a loud shout, the streets fell silent.

They originally thought that the Zhao family's stop selling grain was a powerless successor, but they didn't expect that the other party was purely to mock the Zheng family.

At the same time, on the second floor of Zheng's rice shop, Zheng Qian heard Zhang Ji's arrogant words, and angrily smashed the tea bowl in his hand on the wall.

"A thousand stones? Two thousand stones? Ha! Can you say such ridiculous things?'

Angry, Zheng Qian immediately asked Wang Zhidao: "Wang Zhi, how much grain and rice have we sold so far?" ”

"As of an hour ago, the account books sent from the other three shops in the city totaled about 4,100 stones." Wang Zhi replied immediately.

Zheng Qian was stunned when he heard this, frowned and asked, "How come?" Haven't we always sold more than the Zhao family? How could it be overtaken by the Zhao family? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he himself understood: Oh, it was the work of other merchants and families in Ruyang City...... Well, he ordered it.

"Wow."

A servant ran up from the bottom of the building and said to Zheng Qian uninterestingly: "Shizi, due to the provocation of the Zhao family opposite, many good people on the street want us to announce the specific number of grain sold, you see......"

"I'm a fart!"

Zheng Qian's backhand is a slap.

Announcing the results of grain sales?

Although Zheng Qian doesn't think that the number of grain sold so far represents anything, but the ignorant county people outside don't understand, those people take a look, oh, the Zhao family sold 5,000 stones, and the Zheng family sold 4,100 stones, maybe they will subconsciously feel that the Zhao family has won...... But what did the Zhao family win? Is it the end?

But if it is not announced, wouldn't it be even more hypocritical?

Just when Zheng Qian hesitated, he suddenly heard a servant say: "Shizi, why don't we also say that we have sold five thousand stones......

Before the words fell, Wang Zhi, who had been taught by Zheng Qian a few times, immediately interrupted: "Shut up!" In case the Zhao family sends someone to check the accounts, won't my Zheng family lose face?! ”

These words made Zheng Qian's heart stunned.

It's not that he thinks Wang Zhi said something wrong, on the contrary, Wang Zhi is right, but the question is, why did the Zhao family suddenly make such a move, not provoking sooner or later, but at this moment?

Zheng Qian frowned and looked at the several carts parked in front of Zhao's rice shop to buy grain, and then looked at himself in front of Zheng's rice shop, with a little surprise on his face.

"Oh, I see......

Enduring the grievances in his heart, Zheng Qian gritted his teeth and said, "Wang Zhi, send someone to call Zhu Gui's gang and call them...... Come to us to buy food. ”

After that, he ignored Wang Zhi's stunned look and stared at the window on the second floor of Zhao's rice shop.

"No wonder Zhao Gongyu has never shown up in my Ruyang......"

He muttered to himself.

He finally confirmed that his opponent this time was an eleven-year-old child.

And this kid is so clever that he can't talk about it.
