Chapter 286: Battle in the Mansion (8)
"It's just that what should I do in this forest?"
Liu Ximing was a little apprehensive when he talked about the scene in the academy just now.
Xie Chengzhou didn't expect Lu Zhenghao to arrange it so carefully, but he didn't feel strange when he thought of the methods of the big families in the city.
"Aren't you all talented", Xie Chengzhou looked at Du Liangji, Xie Wenle and the others.
"Shilin should argue about it or fight, not only a few of you, but all other related people should be mobilized, don't let them take away all the public opinion, as long as your side can stabilize the market, these pressures can be resisted first."
"I'm afraid that you won't be able to withstand their methods", a trace of worry appeared on Xie Chengzhou's face.
"Uncle Shi rest assured, the little nephew will arrange it, I didn't know how powerful it was before, but now that Shi Bo has mentioned it, the little nephew estimates that there is still room for redemption in this matter."
As soon as Liu Ximing heard Xie Chengzhou's words, he immediately understood the key, isn't it a sweater war, although the industrial system of Liujia Village has just taken shape, it is not a problem to deal with such a small scene in Fucheng.
Xie Chengzhou stopped Liu Ximing with some sarcasm, "Don't worry, do you know how to fight this battle?" ”
With Xie Chengzhou's point, Liu Ximing had already figured out the problem at this time, Lu Zhenghao's gang was just counting on forming a huge pressure on themselves by kidnapping the whole city, and the key to this was of course all kinds of necessary materials for life.
"First of all, grain, as the so-called lack of food is unstable, there are about 70,000 people in the city at present, and the daily consumption of grain is nearly 500 stones. The second is the cloth ......"
Liu Ximing came out his analysis one by one, and he was a little surprised when he said this, unconsciously Liujia Village was about to reach one-third of the size of Fucheng.
Of course, the main reason is that this year was mainly agriculture, and the urban population was not large, and Chengdu Fucheng, which was several times larger than Shunqing Fucheng, was only about 300,000 people.
The city of Beijing is nearly four times larger than Chengdu, and its population is only one million, which is indeed very different from the millions of people in a prefecture-level city in later generations.
Xie Chengzhou's face was a little surprised, five hundred stones a day is not a small amount.
Liu Ximing saw his question, and immediately smiled: "Thanks to the family's ability to do things, they just collected more than 50,000 stone of grain this year, and if they want to fight it, they will just fight it, and there will be another season to harvest in a few months, and now the little nephew is afraid that they will not dare to fight again if they know about it." ”
Xie Chengzhou's heart swelled with turbulent waves, more than 50,000 stones of grain, that must have more than 20,000 acres of land, this Liu family's development is too fast.
"Then you can hurry up and arrange it, and be careful of their other means."
When Liu Ximing and the others left, Xie Cheng twisted Xie Wenle's ears on Monday, "Call you a rabbit cub to report back the news of the Liu family in time, why don't you talk about such a big thing?" ”
Xie Wenle grinned with his teeth twisted, "Dad, it hurts, it hurts, I didn't forget." ”
Xie Chengzhou was a little angry, and scolded Xie Wenle for a while before he became angry.
After doing this, Xie Chengzhou looked at Xie Chunxi, who was gloating on the side, with a smile, "Xi'er, what do you think of the incident I mentioned to you last time?" ”
Xie Chunxi's pink and white little face flushed, and he made a slight blessing to Xie Chengzhou, with a shy expression on his face, "It's all up to Daddy." ”
After saying that, he turned around and ran out of the room.
Xie Chengzhou kicked at Xie Wenle, who was constantly rubbing his ears on the side, "Go back and explore the wind first." ”
Seeing Xie Wenle humming and chirping, Xie Chengzhou's face turned serious and said: "It's a lifelong matter for Xi'er, you can be careful, otherwise be careful with your skin." ”
"Hehe", Xie Wenle sneered, "Father, don't worry, I can save it." ”

"Someone, send someone back quickly, let the merchant house raise the goods, and transport them to Fucheng as soon as possible."
As soon as Liu Ximing took Dou Yuquan and the others back to the house, he pulled Li Dafu, Li Biao and others over to make arrangements.
After speaking, he thought about it, and then admonished, "Let the Longxiang Battalion send someone to escort it, and ...... another."
"Inform the partners of Fuhua and Longyi, and let them also find a way to help us raise goods, and be sure to transport them to Fucheng in the next few days."
After Liu Ximing finished speaking, he looked at Li Dafu, "How much grain do we have in the city now?" ”
"It's only about 700 stones", Li Dafu, the assistant manager of commercial housing, is competent.
Liu Ximing gritted his teeth and thought about it, and finally made up his mind, "Hang a sign and go out, the price of grain will remain the same, it is still one or two or three dollars of silver and one stone, but it will only sell three hundred stones a day, and the shop will be closed after it is sold." ”
"In addition, send people out to spread rumors, saying that the big families in the city closed their stores in order to raise the price of grain again, just to cause panic among everyone, in short, how to say it."
"Didn't you say that it was going to be sold openly?" , Xu Wei couldn't understand Liu Ximing's tricks.
"Hmph, Lu Zhenghao's gang wants the whole city to panic, so as to squeeze us out of the city, let's push the boat down the river and make the people in the city panic for two days first."
"In two days, our family's grain should also arrive, and then we will sell it with all our might, and the people in the city will naturally be able to distinguish who is a profiteer and who is a good person. As for the walk rumors, hehe. ”
Liu Ximing looked at Xu Wei and Dou Yuquan with a smile, "What is the best way to do it when others are orchestrating our rumors and we can't calm them down?" ”
Without waiting for them to answer, Liu Ximing said to himself: "Then we can only muddy the waters first and release more and more outrageous rumors, and then not many people will believe the rumors about us." ”
Dou Yuquan, Du Liangji and others were dazzled, Liu Ximing's approach was simple, but he couldn't learn it from books, and it was really a strange trick.
"How did Sun and those people close?" , Liu Ximing looked at Li Biao.
A few days ago, as soon as he cleaned up Feng Le, he realized that it was necessary to gain a foothold in the city and need intelligence, such as the Qingshan Gang, these gangs were too powerful, and it was probably impossible for the Liu family to surrender in a hurry.
On the contrary, it is a small commodity like the Black Tiger Gang, although Li Biao heard that it is these people who are attached to Lu Zhenghao, a fellow acquaintance, and they also have a lot of holidays with the Liu family.
But with the Qingshan Gang Feng Le being thrown away as an outcast by Lu Zhenghao and others, Sun He and the gang were not worried and suspicious in their hearts, and there was a great possibility of recruiting them at this time.
Li Biao smiled and said: "Second brother guessed right, Sun and this dog day were about to escape overnight, how do you know that I brought someone to block it, he expressed his attitude, as long as we can protect him, even if we take refuge, it's no problem, do you want to meet?" ”
Liu Ximing smiled and waved his hand, "Don't see you first, you arrange this matter for him, and give him another hundred taels of silver." Tell him that if he does a good job, he will follow me to eat and drink spicy food in the future, and if he doesn't do it well, then get out of the house as soon as possible. ”
Li Biao and the others laughed.
On Konger Street, in front of Liu's rice shop.
The people who came to buy rice had already formed a long line, and there were Liu family's family members on the left to maintain order, and no matter who they were, they had to stand in a row one by one according to their requirements.
The people in Shunqing Mansion have never seen such a battle, and some people who rely on their strength or some small forces want to cut in line.
Unexpectedly, several young men in cyan suits rushed over, and without saying a word, they put their arms up and threw them directly into the street.
A few people who were not convinced still wanted to make trouble, but the Liu family actually sent a few sergeants in armor, and when the waist knife was lit, they scared these people back and lined up obediently.
There are those who don't believe in evil and go to the yamen to report to the official, who knows that the official who came over went up and shook it around, and finally scolded the person who reported to the official for a bloody head.
"Everyone is an officer and soldier of the guard, what's wrong with a knife, besides, people don't beat people, they just drive people away, even the yamen can't control it."
At this moment, these people in the city completely stopped, and one by two obediently lined up to buy rice according to the requirements of the Liu family.
Yuan Feng was one of the people in the queue, and the other rice shops in Fucheng were not open for three consecutive days, and this strange action made everyone feel worried.
Even if there was surplus food at home, Yuan Feng wanted to prepare more just in case, not to mention that the rice of the Liu family was much cheaper than that of others.
Although it is now said that his family's sale of rice is shoddy, but in the current situation, who cares so much.
Yuan Feng didn't come early, and when it was his turn, it was already afternoon.
Seeing that the previous one was himself, Yuan Feng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and finally arrived.
