Chapter 120: The Whole City Is Cut Out of Food

"What do you say? And the impeachment was not successful? ”

In the inner house of the Li Mansion, after hearing the report from the housekeeper, Li Lishan was so angry that he almost turned his back on it.

This time, the evidence is conclusive, and Lu Fugui and others went to the field to see it in person.

Could it be that the emperor deliberately shielded him?

"According to Lu Yushi, that kid claimed to do this to benefit the people and share the emperor's worries, and asked the emperor for two months, and he will confirm it when the time comes!"

"This kid is clearly stalling for time!"

Li Lishan glared at him angrily and scolded angrily.

"The villain has already asked the other officials in the court, and they said that looking at the appearance of the horse, it doesn't seem to be lying......!"

Steward Li shook his head helplessly, and then seemed to think of something, and said with a depressed face: "There is one more thing, our fasting plan for that kid doesn't seem to work!" ”

"What? How is this possible? Did the boy be transported from a foreign land? The grain is back? ”

"Not really!"

Steward Li continued to shake his head and said: "This kid has thought of a new trick, saying that he can exchange grain for wine, as long as he uses a pound of grain, he can buy the wine of their winery at half price, and now all the restaurants and Qinglou in the city are competing to buy the wine of their winery!" ”

"Then cut off the grain from those restaurants and green buildings!"

"Master, it's useless, they can go to other grain stores in the city to buy it, or go to the farmer's house outside the city to collect it, so the price is lower than buying it in the city!"

"It's not okay to do this, I have to think of another way, otherwise, our winery will have to close sooner or later!"

"The villain has a way, but I don't know if the master dares to do it?"

"What's the solution?"

"Join forces with the Seven Great Families to stop all the food in the entire Chang'an City!"

"That's a solution, but it needs the consent of the other six......!"

"If this method can be implemented, it can suppress the Zhenguan Wine Workshop, and it can also increase the pressure on the emperor......! However, this may make the emperor angry! ”

......

"I don't know what Li just proposed to cut off the grain plan, what do you think?"

In Li Fuzhong, Li Lishan explained the grain cut off plan and asked with a serious face.

"Now we will increase the price of salt, grain, and wine by fifty percent, which has already displeased the emperor, if we stop the food in the whole city this time, I'm afraid it will not end well, right?"

The other patriarch said with a worried look on his face, frowning.

Once they collectively run out of food, then the people of Chang'an City will inevitably complain, and that is to be an open enemy of the emperor!

Although their seven major families are powerful, they are all powerless civilians, and if the emperor is determined to eradicate them, I am afraid they will not be able to take advantage of it!

"Yes, what we want to bring down is Zhao Yin, it has nothing to do with the emperor, if we really do this, it will inevitably tear up with the emperor, for Zhao Yin, it doesn't hurt at all!"

The patriarch of the Wang clan nodded admiringly.

"The emperor and the concubine are wearing a pair of pants at all, if it weren't for the emperor's protection, this kid would have died hundreds of times!"

"That's right, it is because the emperor is deliberately biased that we will repeatedly fail to impeach!"

"I'm starting to wonder now, are these things discussed by the emperor and that kid, waiting for us to be selected? Otherwise, how can it be so coincidental, every time you are impeached, you will be bitten back by that kid, if you lose the bet again this time, our officials in the court will all be kicked out! ”

mentioned Zhao Yin, and the other family patriarchs also spoke indignantly.

Although they did not agree to cut off food, the meaning of the words was already very obvious!

"I don't know where this kid came from? Since he appeared, he has been our enemy, and if we don't get rid of him for a day, our seven great families will not be able to live in peace for a day! ”

Thinking of this, the Li clan patriarch sighed deeply.

Since the incident of Chunmanlou, the Seven Great Families have been disgraced.

Later, they repeatedly stumbled Zhao Yin, but they were unsuccessful.

Not only did he lose his troops, but he also lost face.

If they don't succeed this time, then the remaining strength in their court will also be wiped out.

"That's right, we must find a way to get rid of this kid, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!"

The patriarch of the Zheng clan also nodded appreciatively.

As long as they hear this kid's name, they will think of the shame of Chun Manlou, if they don't get rid of him, then how can they mix in this Chang'an City?

"If the grain in Chang'an City is cut off, not only can the Zhenguan Wine Shop be closed, but it can also put pressure on the emperor ......!"

After Li Lishan glanced at everyone, he continued: "As for offending the emperor, it doesn't matter anymore, the emperor has long wanted to get rid of us, if we don't resist again, I'm afraid that we will be annihilated in one fell swoop." ”

"I think we should be careful about this!"

One of the patriarchs said with some concern.

"Chang'an is under the emperor's nose, if you tear your face here, I'm afraid no one will be able to take advantage, but if you can use this as an excuse to force the emperor to get rid of the horse, it is still possible!"

The patriarch of the Zheng clan also opened his mouth worriedly.

"We can find a high-sounding reason to come out, and even if the emperor asks, we will have a good reason to prevaricate!"

After thinking for a while, the patriarch of the Lu clan suddenly brightened up and thought of a compromise solution.

"Well, it works!"

"That's right, we have to think of a good reason, we can't be caught by the emperor with pigtails!"

After hearing this suggestion, several patriarchs chimed in.

As long as there is a good reason, then even if the emperor is angry, there is nothing he can do about them!

If he really wants to forcibly send troops, he will have to think about it.

Most of the scholars in the world come from their seven families, and as long as they launch a slight public opinion offensive, the emperor has to take care of his reputation.

"It just so happens that there is a drought in Henan this year, so why don't we stop supplying grain to Chang'an on the grounds of supporting Henan?"

"Well, that's a good idea, but what if we still have a lot of stock in our store?"

"This is easy to do, we can sell it for another ten days and a half months, and when the inventory in the store is sold out, we will close the store collectively!"

"Well, that's it!"

In the end, several people reached an agreement and decided to ban food collectively after a few days.

Li Lishan was very satisfied with this result, no matter what, as long as he could cut off the grain of Zhenguan Distillery.

The food in Chang'an City is all in the hands of their seven great families, as long as they collectively run out of food, he wants to see how so many people in Chang'an City live?

When the time comes, the people are complaining, doesn't the emperor have to bow his head and beg them?

As long as the emperor is willing to bow his head, they can ask the emperor to severely punish Zhao Yin, otherwise they will never resume the grain supply.
