On the first day, the project was in full swing with 600 people, and the number of laborers earning 1,500 people, and it was still increasing, and the number of homeless and idle people who got the news was finally increasing, and the obstruction of the great families could only work on their tenants, and when most people knew about it, their obstruction would seem ridiculous.

The premise that they dare to show off their might to the common people is a certain number, and they are also very good at disguising themselves, at least they also know how to flaunt their benevolence, once the unfilial descendants of the family provoke the anger of the public, the end is usually miserable, of course, the bitter master will disappear into the crowd after a period of time.

Each class has its own bottom line, and the bottom line of the common people is very simple, it is good to be able to live, so the families finally gave up the block, not only did not block it, but instead mobilized their own tenants and slaves, as if they were really kind.

But is it really kind? Apparently not so.

In the Drunken Immortal Building, several family heads gathered together again.

The head of the Lu family looked at the people who were still rushing outside the city one after another and said with a smile: "You said that so many people have passed, how long can that Chen Mo's grain stock last?" ”

The Zheng family master laughed disdainfully: "No matter how long it can last, there will always be a day when the food is finished, as long as we send someone to monitor outside, sooner or later we will catch clues, and then we will know who is against us, no matter what, the Cui family master's plan is still good, since he wants someone, then give it to others, but if he can't hold it, then it's no wonder that others." ”

The representative of the Qinghe Cui clan looked at the silent head of the Wang family on the side and said, "Why hasn't the head of the Wang family been talking? Could it be that there is something on his mind that cannot be done? ”

"Oh, the family is not a good thing, you also know that this kind of thing has always been very troublesome, you don't have to worry about me, it's not too early to feel unwell, it's like leaving!"

After the head of the Wang family finished speaking, he left in a hurry, and the representative of the Li family also found an excuse to leave after the head of the Wang family left, and the people of the remaining three families looked at each other.

"The Li family is not credible, after all, Li Shimin is the emperor, and there is nothing wrong with them getting close to the royal family, but this Wang family, I'm afraid they have to take good precautions." The head of the Zheng family frowned and said after drinking a cup of Sanle pulp.

"It's not appropriate to fight now, everyone just guard against it, the most important thing at the moment is to suppress this Chen Mo, if he gets a firm foothold, it will be bad."

In the eyes of the family, Chen Mo is simply a knife that Li Shimin came to test them, once they can't stop or show weakness and cowardice, then Li Shimin's butcher's knife will be ushered in immediately, on the contrary, it is natural to gain great prestige again, and then the dynasty will have to rely on them.

After leaving the Drunken Immortal Building, the head of the Wang family did not return to his home, but came to a shop and asked, "Can someone come to the store to buy rice grain?" ”

As a shopkeeper of the Wang family, he naturally knew the head of the family, and when he saw that the head of the house asked, he immediately said: "They are all purchased by retail investors, and the total is no more than a hundred stones, and I don't think it will be a person from the cross slope outside the city, but the small ones will act cautiously." ”

After hearing this, the head of the Wang family thought for a moment and said: "You send someone to probe the people on the cross slope outside the city, and ask them if they want rice and grain, don't say whose family, just say that you want to do business, and see how they react." ”

The shopkeeper who received the order immediately sent the most astute man in the store to inquire, but the answer was: "No, they said that they have food at home." ”

After listening to this, the head of the Wang family, who was drinking tea, nodded and said: "In the future, if there are people from the cross slope who come to buy food, don't stop it, of course, you still say that you won't sell it to the outside world, understand?" ”

After the head of the Wang family finished speaking, the shopkeeper nodded clearly, the things belong to the owner, and the owner will do whatever he wants, yes.

The news I heard made the head of the Wang family very heavy, so far the population of the cross slope has exceeded 3,000, of which more than 2,000 have been contracted, and there is no need to supply food for the cross slope that has not signed the contract, but the contract, once signed, there will be a bag of rice grain for the An family, which is divided according to the number of people, which is regarded as the salary of the advance.

This alone is huge enough, it is equivalent to dividing the rice and grain of thousands of households, if the imperial court comes to do it, it is inconspicuous, but it is only one person who can do this, Chen Mo, this mysterious guy.

"Could it be that you really have immortal arts? It is up to man to plan things, and things are up to heaven to make things happen. The head of the Wang family looked up to the sky and sighed, he felt that the future was bleak this time, it was time to plan a way back for himself, it was certain to show goodwill, and send people to test, which was both a temptation and a show of goodwill.

"Teacher, it has been ascertained, the person who asked is indeed the grain merchant in the city, and the person behind him is the person of the Wang family, a few hours ago, Cui Lu, Zheng Wang Li, and the five families all let out the words, and the slaves who are willing to go to the cross slope will not be stopped and will also issue a deed of sale to return their free bodies, teacher, they are afraid that they have a plan, they must be careful."

Mo Zaiti said with some worry, he was sent by Wang Peter to see who sent the person to ask if he wanted rice grain, but he didn't expect this check to let him find out a lot of things, Mo Zaiti patiently straightened things out and then came to his teacher in a hurry, for fear that he would be late and the teacher would be unprepared.

"Hehe, you want to use crowd tactics to eat Lao Tzu? Just let you have no return, don't worry, I don't have much else, but this food is enough, tell the people in front as long as they are willing to take refuge in the comer will not refuse! Let's see if I will be strutted or you will be starved! ”

Chen Mo was angry, and the people below were also ecstatic, the cross slope was lively, there were crowds of people everywhere, and even with Chen Mo's permission, the sheds were built, which was the place where the workers who had signed the contract lived.

If such a building is basically a black-hearted developer in modern times, the title of a black-hearted developer will not be able to escape, but in the Tang Dynasty, it will be a standard good person, especially when it comes to dinner at night.

"It's... Rice, hard rice?? Zhang Erniu was already excited and tearful when he saw this, how long has it been since he eaten hard rice? The man who drank gruel and beat him every day was about to collapse, and when he suddenly saw hard rice, he really thought he was dreaming.

"What? I don't like it, but I also heard that northerners don't like to eat rice, so our dean knows that everyone's habits are different in different regions, so he specially prepared a lot of food, there are noodles, that is, soup cakes, and noodles like steamed buns, and there are rice, and the side dishes also have meat and pickles, all of which are good beef, although everyone eats, but must not waste food, if you are greedy but can't eat it all, then don't blame me! ”
