Hou Xun's complexion has changed.

To be honest, he didn't even think about this layer when he came, he only thought about the struggle level, how to obtain greater and more favorable benefits.

But I didn't expect that this inconspicuous little master in front of me could see the problem so thoroughly!

This is a talent!

"Brother Liang, Yi, in your opinion, how should the old man deal with himself at this time?"

Hou Sui no longer dared to hold on to his big position at this time, and respectfully saluted Master Liang, as if he had regarded Master Liang as a generation.

Master Liang was a little flattered, and his face was a little flushed, but he had not met for many years, and he finally seized this opportunity at this time, and he would definitely not let it go easily, and the due etiquette was temporarily left behind.

Busy and respectfully arched his hand and said: "Dong Weng, if the student's guess is right, everything today is all arranged by Xu Changqing." I'm afraid that tonight's banquet is the time when Xu Changqing is trying to see the dagger! From what the students have seen, I am afraid that Kaifeng City has been built by Xu Changqing like an iron plate. Dong Weng, for today's plan, we must first understand the specific state of Kaifeng City, so that we can prescribe the right medicine. ”

Hou Sui suddenly smiled bitterly: "You are right. Everything today is Xu Changqing's game. Moreover, they are all Xu Changqing's conspiracy. When he came to the carriage, he had already told me the details of Kaifeng City. The grain and grass in Kaifeng City, I'm afraid, can't support it for a month and a half. Xu Changqing himself was willing to donate 3,000 stone of military rations to help Kaifeng City tide over the difficulties. ”

"What?"

Master Liang's complexion changed greatly!

Cold sweat can't stop pouring out.

He had already guessed the difficulty of the situation, but how could he have imagined that Xu Changqing would be so bold and directly use this way to force Hou Sui, one of the leaders of the Donglin Party, into this state......

"Brother Liang, like this, do you still have a clever plan to help the old man break the situation?"

Hou Sui smiled bitterly.

He underestimated the heroes of the world!

Xu Changqing was able to come to this point, he crawled out of the pile of dead people in the sea of corpses and blood, and he was able to pull back the already rotten Songjin situation against the wrong decision of Hong Chengchou and the imperial court, how could he be an ordinary person?

This Master Liang is also extraordinary.

He was so desperate for the opportunity that he quickly forced himself to calm down.

He had done a lot of abdominal cases before, and although he didn't expect the situation at this time, he had a slightly similar deduction.

After thinking for a while, Master Liang arched his hand and said: "Dong Weng, at this time, people are swordsmen, and I am fish and meat, it seems that we are extremely passive, but we may not have the opportunity to survive in death." Since Xu Changqing told the matter in advance and gave you a warning, it shows that he does not regard you as an enemy. In addition, he and the rewards of Kaifeng after the people, but also rely on Dong Weng, with Xu Changqing's shrewdness, he will definitely not kill himself. After all, Dong Weng, he's trying to pull you, and all of us, onto his boat. ”

Hou Sui nodded, and motioned for Master Liang to continue with his eyes.

A strange flush suddenly appeared on Master Liang's face, and he smiled a little sharply: "Dong Weng, this matter, it's easy to think about it the other way around!" We just need to calculate it! ”

……

In the evening, Zhu Gongfang, the king of Zhou, held a grand dinner in the palace.

Flying in the sky, crawling on the ground, swimming in the water, almost everything, unusually abundant.

At this time, the main force of the Wandering Army retreated, and transportation began to recover, and Kaifeng City had begun to buy a lot of supplies in the surrounding area these days.

Especially in the direction of the eastern front, Guidefu, Bozhou, Shandong, including the central capital Fengyang, have come to a lot of supplies.

Of course, the good things in it, in addition to the royal mansion, the wealthy family, are profiteers, ordinary people must not be able to enjoy it, and other ordinary materials, that is, will be able to pull down the price of Kaifeng City a little bit.

A lot of people came tonight.

Not only were the powerful factions in all parts of the army invited, but also many wealthy families, gentry, and landlords in the city.

Moreover, except for the main table tonight, the others are all in a Western-style self-service mode, just to facilitate everyone's communication.

At this point, Xu Changqing is not afraid to let things go.

No one is stupid.

Each family sweeps the snow in front of the door, and everyone knows it.

At this time, no one knows the situation in the Central Plains better than these Kaifeng snakes.

Even if someone comes out with a moth, Xu Changqing is not afraid, and even wishes that some people would jump out by themselves.

Taizu has a strategy that is definitely far-sighted, going deep into the masses, and mobilizing the masses!

Kaifeng City is not Xu Changqing's native city, the mudter the water, the better it is for Xu Changqing to fish.

"Wait until you go in and walk around by yourself. Remember, watch more, listen more, talk as little as possible, and try not to get into conflict with people. ”

When Xu Changqing came, it had already passed seven or eight minutes of the opening time, and there was no one around the door, but Xu Changqing didn't come, even Zhu Gongqi obviously didn't dare to start, and everyone in the venue was gathering together in twos and threes to chat.

On the one hand, I was a little surprised by this novel dinner party mode, and on the other hand, they were also quietly exploring the latest news they wanted.

Outside the door, Xu Changqing, who was dressed in a bright red robe, patted the shoulder of a jade-faced boy and walked into the arena with a smile.

"Uncle, it's uncle, uncle has arrived!"

"Yo, uncle, you're really in good spirits today."

"Go and inform the adults at the main table that Uncle has arrived."

"Uncle has arrived—"

The originally stable venue was suddenly noisy, and everyone hurriedly welcomed Xu Changqing in like stars holding the moon.

Looking at Xu Changqing's indifferent figure, Tang Yu, who was dressed as a little white-faced boy, couldn't help biting his red lips a little harder.

At this time, how could she not understand Xu Changqing's thoughts?

Xu Changqing values her very much!

However, Xu Changqing is an upright conspiracy, even if she wants to refuse, it is difficult to refuse in her heart, Xu Changqing has completely opened a new door for her and led her into a new world, she also wants to see and feel for herself, what will happen to these powerful gentry in Kaifeng City at this time.

After hesitating for a moment, Tang Yu gritted his teeth and entered the arena.

She was nervous, thinking that someone would come to interrogate her, and her mind was full of tangled thoughts about how to talk to people when she met them.

After all, even if she is good at hiding, she is even better at hiding in the dark, and this feeling of being directly exposed to the light almost makes her feel like she has been stripped naked in public.

However, she struggled for a while and found that no one cared about her at this time, and everyone's eyes had been attracted by Xu Changqing.

This made Tang Yu breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly disappeared into the crowd.

"Hehe, Lord Wang, Pavilion Elder, adults, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, there was a little delay in military affairs for a while, and Changqing punished himself three cups first."

At the main table, Xu Changqing was very humble and gentle, and when he came up, he punished himself with three cups, which immediately attracted a round of compliments.

Zhu Gongfang, the king of Zhou, hurriedly smiled and said: "Pavilion Elder, my lords, since the uncle has arrived, then, let's start?" ”

"The auspicious time has arrived, and the cocktail party has officially begun!"

With the shouts of several palace eunuchs, the lively drinking party was officially opened.

Compared with the rules at the main table, the buffet reception was much more lively.

Huaguo has been a humane society since ancient times.

Although Kaifeng City is not small, hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people at its peak, but at this time, the continuous war has shuffled the cards over and over again, and those left behind are basically the essence, saying that it is big and big, saying that it is small but very small, basically they are all related to the past, and they can talk about it after a few turns.

"Kang Ye, what do you think of the current situation?"

"Yes, yes, Kang Ye, in this situation, everyone is bottomless. You're our backbone, so you'll have to show us the way. ”

"Kangye ......"

In the middle of the party, a large group of people were surrounding a wise old man with silver hair, who was extremely respectful to him.

This silver-haired old man is the president of the Kaifeng Chamber of Commerce, Kang Yuanshan, nicknamed 'Kang Shanren'.

The reason why Kaifeng City was able to hold the main force of the Liumin Army three times in a row was that he was among them. The contribution is indispensable, it is really because of his tandem, wealth and strength, and people, which is the coordination of many interests on various lines.

Tang Yu was also quietly mixed in the crowd at this time, wanting to hear the high arguments of this famous Kangshan person.

Kang Yuanshan seemed to enjoy this kind of star-studded honor like the moon, and slowly took a sip of the Chinese wine in a glass of fine wine, and said with a smile: "Everyone, everyone, you big guys are in the old man's army." The old man is also a mess now, and he doesn't know what to do. ”

"Kangye, can you just say a few words? Who doesn't know, now you can talk to our loyal uncle. ”

"Yes, Kangye, our chambers of commerce in the Central Plains have been weak for a long time, and now in this state, they are almost going to be wiped out. If you don't show us all the way, our old bones in the Central Plains will really be finished. ”

"I beg Kang Ye to advise."

Looking at the excited crowd, the smile on the face of the old man Kang couldn't be concealed a little, and he said slowly: "Our Central Plains Chamber of Commerce has indeed been in decline for a long time. But it's also something that can't be helped. Now in this situation, the Central Plains is almost destroyed, and it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Hey, old man, I just want to find a stable place to spend my old age in peace, and the future still depends on you young people. ”

"Kangye, don't say that, you are old and strong. We wouldn't be able to play without you, an old boatman, at the helm. ”

"Yes, Kangye......"

In the crowd, Tang Yu listened for a while, and Liu Mei frowned.

Although this Kangshan person is a person with five people and six people, she has already seen that this old dog must have been bought by Xu Changqing.

And looking at this, many of them seem to have come to an agreement.

This made Tang Yu angry but a little powerless at the same time.

Because as they talked, they soon began to talk about many professional economic issues, how to calm food prices, how to restore production, including how to reduce transportation costs, and so on.

In the past, Tang Yu definitely hated this kind of person.

In the education she has received since childhood, it is precisely because of these people that they have been looting the people's fat and ointment, and the people are making a living!

Daming has come to this day, these people definitely have an unshirkable responsibility!

However, hearing their chat and feeling their conversation, Tang Yu felt that it didn't seem to be exactly the case.

They all understand it.

If prices cannot be calmed down, and if the problems of the common people cannot be solved, it will be difficult for them to survive.

But......

What went wrong?

Since these people are not incompetent, how did Kaifeng become like this now?

Tang Yu was a little messy, so he could only prick up his ears, listen more carefully, and desperately try to understand what they said.

At the main table, the wine has passed three rounds, the dishes have also passed the five flavors, and the topic has gradually changed from Fengyue to the main topic.

Hou Sui is an old man, and he may not be good in government affairs, but in terms of people's hearts and scenes, he is an expert.

He smiled and picked up his wine glass and said: "Lord, uncle, my lords, the current Kaifeng City has reached the extreme of life and death!" This is a war without knives and guns! Whether we can survive or not depends on your concerted efforts. ”

Zhu Gongqi hurriedly smiled: "What Elder Ge said is very true. Only by working together and working together can we tide over the difficulties together. By the way, Ge Lao, we have been tired of Kaifeng for a long time, I don't know how much the court can give us now? ”
