The life of the family is not easy, it is very difficult.

From the beginning of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of Sui began to change his attitude in a gentle way, and after Emperor Yang of Sui, he directly dealt with this matter with a tough attitude.

That time, the family won, and the end was that the Sui Dynasty fell and Li Tang rose.

Li Yuan is an emperor who understands righteousness and knows how his Li Tang Jiangshan came from, so he still doesn't dare to be too much of the family, and only dares to make some stumbling blocks in the dark.

It seems that the two sides have formed a tacit understanding that the family will allow the emperor to come to them for minor troubles, but the emperor will not escalate the problem just because of this.

In this way, the emperor got face, gave an explanation to the people below, and the family did not lose any benefits, killing two birds with one stone.

During this period, the strength of the family was also rapidly recovering, although it was not as good as the Sui Dynasty, but it was not much different.

In the Li Shimin period, there was a honeymoon period before, but it was very short.

The family also agreed to support Li Shimin and not to disturb his country, but in dealing with Li Yuanji, the interests of the family must be used.

At this point, Li Shimin's attitude towards the family also began to change, from the beginning of the discussion, to the later toughness.

Now that Li Yuanji has been replaced, the life of the family is even more difficult.

A streamlining of personnel action, the foundation of the family to smash to pieces, Li Yuanji's foundation lies in Zhenzhou, very helpless, in just two or three years, the original barren Zhenzhou, has become an iron plate, no matter how hard the family is, it is difficult to break in.

Although it was the central court that streamlined the personnel, the local yamen was not greatly affected.

But after the overwhelming smashing of policies to benefit the people, what role can the only forces in the hands of the family play?

Yang Feng Yin violation?

Do you really think that the garrisons that have been scattered around the country are there to enjoy the light? While maintaining local law and order, they are also monitoring whether the local yamen has violated the will of the imperial court.

At first, some people just didn't believe in evil, but in less than a month, one Zhizhong, one assassin, five county orders, and seven counties were withdrawn one after another, and the whole city was immediately quiet, and they no longer dared to resist.

Grasping the hearts of the people and mastering the military power, the military reform is said to be for the benefit of the people, but in fact it is to strengthen the centralization of power, and further strengthen the emperor's control over the army in the system of the government and military system.

Zheng Shanqi pouted, he had a lot of contact with Li Yuanji, and he was also cheated many times openly and secretly.

Although some of the pits were seen and had to be jumped, I was really unhappy.

At this time, his own family was so pitted by Li Yuanji, and what he lost was not only thousands of profits, but tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of profits.

"Big brother, if we do this, some people are afraid that they will laugh off their big teeth!" Zheng Shanqi said unhappily.

Although it is now known that the family has lost its limbs, when Li Yuanji has preliminarily completed the condensation of the people's hearts and minds, the strength of the family has been weakened a lot.

At this time, jumping out against it will not bring any benefit to yourself, it can only be destruction.

But the dignified family, hundreds of years of accumulation, prestige, wealth, status, with this silence and no resistance, will bring a huge blow to the Zheng family, and may even directly let the Zheng family fall.

"Want to save face? Or do you want to die? Zheng Shanguo stared at Zheng Shanqi directly, and asked in a firm tone.

Perhaps in the eyes of the family, face is the most important thing, as long as there is face, it is not unacceptable to lose some benefits.

But in Zheng Shanguo's view, only life is the most important.

The status of the Zheng family is indeed much worse than before, but it is not to the worst extent.

Although Li Yuanji pressed forward step by step, he finally gave them a way out, and he didn't force them to die.

"Big brother......" Zheng Shanqi looked at Zheng Shanguo in astonishment, and couldn't believe that these words could come out of his mouth.

"We're just changing our identities, and at this moment, only people who can't see the situation clearly will die to save face." Zheng Shanguo sighed and said helplessly.

……

"Father, the Zheng family has reduced the price, and it is the same as Chang Ping! And there is no limit to the number of purchases. Wang Liang ran a little anxiously to talk about the latest situation outside.

Recently, the life of the Wang family has also been difficult, although Wang Qi is still serving in the imperial court, and his position has not changed, he is still an acting servant, and he is also a member of the cabinet.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Jue feels that things are more difficult to do.

After thinking about it, he could only persuade the family elders, and then ordered the Wang family's grain shop to be the same as the regular closing price, and there was no limit to the quantity.

"This Zheng Shanguo is an understanding person!" Hearing that the Zheng family's decision was the same as his own, he couldn't help but secretly admire.

Although Zheng Shanguo is old, it seems that his mind is not mediocre now.

"Then Zheng Sanye is making a fuss at home, but it doesn't seem to have made any waves." Wang Liang continued.

"Whatever he wants!" Wang Jue shook his head and looked at his son, although several sons were very worry-free, but it was just a scene he saw, the previous incident, the case that led to the Wang family being kicked out is still vivid, although it was reconciled, but Wang Jue never dared to be careless, and continued to advise: "Tell me to go down, let the family be honest in recent times, if anyone causes trouble, it is not only you who are unlucky." ”

"Father, don't worry, we don't care if others want to die or live, but our Wang family, the child will personally stare at it, and there will never be a mistake." Wang Liang nodded.

To be honest, I didn't have any ideas before, there were too many excellent children in the family, and I didn't have an advantage in the succession, so if I was lucky, I would share some family property, and if I was unlucky, I would work for a lifetime.

But this transformation of the family has given him too many opportunities, and through hard work, he has gradually shown himself in front of everyone.

Just like before, my father would never be alone with him for so long, and he would explain some things so seriously.

The two older brothers above him are the key training objects of his father.

Wang Jue sighed a little helplessly, people move to live, trees move to death, this is not false at all.

The concubine who used to be inconspicuous and leaky, but now he is so appreciative, although there are elements of performance, but he still sees something worth appreciating.

Knowing his son is like his father, although Wang Jue and Wang Liang don't have a lot of contact, at least not as good as those two sons-in-law, but they also know him very well.

"There are some things that are not suitable for you to do, let your eldest brother and second brother do this matter!" Wang Jue sighed secretly in his heart, although he also felt a little unfair, but this is the rule, this is the truth, but after all, he is his own son, and he is also a little unbearable in his heart, and continues to encourage: "You concentrate on being responsible for the contact with the royal family to see if you can cooperate at a deeper level." ”

"Yes, Father! The child knows! Wang Liang snorted, but he took it back as soon as he was halfway there, and honestly agreed.

Wang Liang received it quickly, but it was still not as fast as Wang Qi's eyes, and his actions were clearly seen by Wang Qi.

There must be grievances, and it is impossible for anyone not to feel wronged, unless it is Wang Tuo's loser, as long as you have money, you just drive him out and don't let him come back, what kind of power or the like, it has nothing to do with him, he only recognizes money in his eyes.

The power of the family is definitely not Wang Liang's matter, but Wang Jue also knows very well that this matter must not go on like this, and whether or not it can balance the mentality of a family is the basic criterion for judging a patriarch.

"There are some things, even if you don't say it, the father will see it in his eyes, do it well, don't have any complaints in your heart, and the father will not treat your mother and you badly."

"Rest assured, the child will do it well." Wang Liang nodded heavily.

An empty promise, but in Wang Liang's view, it is crucial.

As the head of a clan, he would never break his promise in this kind of matter, whether it was promised in front of everyone or not.

Moreover, he is his son after all, and even if he is disposed of according to the regular treatment, he will allocate at least one shop to himself to operate as a source of income in the future.

Now that Wang Qi has said so, it means that he has the opportunity to fight for more property.

……

With the price reduction of the Wang and Zheng families, the price of grain in the entire Datang began to gradually decline.

No one can resist the impact of Chang Ping, Wang, Zheng, and the three major grain farmers jointly reducing prices.

Even a few other families still can't sit firmly on the Diaoyutai.

The reason why Wang Qi persuaded the family elders was very simple, as a servant, he could easily learn more about the inside story.

What is the headache on Ma Zhou's side, Wang Qi is also very clear, plus the news from Zhenzhou, the two are completely consistent.

Therefore, today's grain prices will only fall, not rise, and how much they will fall depends entirely on whether the emperor will let the family and those grain merchants live.

Fortunately, the emperor gave a price of 200 yuan a shake, although he didn't make much, but he didn't lose money.

It's just that Wang Jue knows very well that 200 yuan, I'm afraid that in recent years, the price of grain will be the highest, and after the summer harvest, I am afraid that the price of grain will continue to decrease.

With the continuous inflow of grain from Zhenzhou, coupled with the harvest of granaries in Guanzhong and the Central Plains, it can basically be guaranteed that there is enough grain in the Changping warehouse at any time to regulate the market price.

The act of making a fortune on food is now very unreliable.

Like the Zheng family, the Wang family also took the initiative to reduce the amount of food in the family business, but put more energy into other aspects.

With the price reduction of grain so smoothly, with more and more grain merchants who have reduced prices, the news is spreading more and more widely, and now the long queue can no longer be seen at the door of Changping or other grain stores, and most people are just shaking to buy, maybe the next time they buy, the price will be lower.

I have to say that Chang Ping has indeed played a miraculous effect, and it has also stabilized the hearts of the people even more, but it has only suffered those small grain merchants.
