Chapter Eighty-Five: Calculation
Liu Wei deeply understands that there is no enemy in this world for no reason, this time the reason why Wang Yang gathered a group of people to attack the queen mother and others seemed to rob the people's daughters on the surface, but in fact, how could it be so simple?
If the families entrenched in Huai County are all such short-sighted people, then Liu Biao really wants to high-five and rejoice, but in fact, Liu Bian dares to guarantee that his fundamental purpose is not himself, but Wang Kuang.
The enemies on the surface are not terrible, these families seem to be powerful, but as long as they have the heart, they can always have a way to fight, and the most important thing is the forces in the dark.
Just like there are no enemies for no reason in this world, so there are no friends for no reason, and the sudden rescue of the five swordsmen after He really made Liu Wei panic.
What is their real purpose of falling to the ground? Liu Weijian frowned slightly, first of all, these people are definitely not Wang Kuang's people, otherwise Wang Kuang has no need to hide it from him, and it is even more impossible that they are related to these families, the dead body with the stump and broken arm in the previous scene has explained everything.
Liu Bian's heart moved, thinking of the last Lei Shu assassination, could it be the same group of people as the last time? But this thought was just a flash, and he left it behind, one was to kill himself, the other was to save himself, it should not be the same group of people.
That's it, Liu Wei shook his head improvishly, he didn't know how many secret forces there were in this world that he didn't know, but since these people came to the rescue, they would definitely appear again, thinking of this, Liu Wei no longer speculated about these things.
turned his head, but saw that the hall was full of people who had already retreated, and only Wang Kuang was still kneeling on the seat and closed his eyes to recuperate, so he walked over and sat opposite Wang Kuang.
"Your Highness has smoothed out your train of thought?" Wang Kuang opened his eyes and said softly: "The last general sees that His Highness closes his eyes and ponders, and it is inconvenient to disturb, so he waits here." ”
"I have a heart for the public festival." Liu Wei smiled slightly, leaned forward, and then stared at Wang Kuang with a solemn face: "For today's matter, I want to come to Gongjie and know it in my heart, I don't talk nonsense, I just want to ask Gongjie a word." ”
Wang Kuang clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "The last general will listen to you." ”
"For the attitude of the Wang, Zhao, Xu and other families, the Gongjie must be to get rid of it as soon as possible, and this lonely is consistent with the goal of the Gongjie. Therefore, Lonely Desire joined forces with Gongjie, and Gongjie thought that he could get rid of these people? Liu Wei asked slowly.
When Wang Kuang heard this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Highness, it's not that the last general is unwilling, it's just that the last general has attacked them before, but Wang, Zhao, Xu and many small families are united, they control the prices of grain markets and cloth markets in the surrounding counties of Huai County, and their power is quite large. ”
"Oh?" Liu Wei's eyes lit up and asked, "Does Gongjie mean that they are using the manipulation of market prices as a bargaining chip?" ”
If it's a political bargaining chip, you really have no chance of winning, but if it's an economic war, you can come from the later generations when the network is extremely developed, and your understanding of economic warfare is comparable to that of people in this world?
Just say that if you exchange food, cloth and other items from the system, you can crush this group of turtles alive.
Wang Kuang looked at His Royal Highness in front of him, his eyes lit up, and he knew what His Highness was thinking, so he shook his head and said: "Your Highness, the Wang family and the Zhao family are the largest grain merchants and cloth merchants in Huai County and even the surrounding counties. The Xu family was born as a horse trader, although it cannot directly affect people's livelihood, but it can't stand its family assets. ”
"In addition, there are many small families who control the market in various fields, and these people are united, although they can't be said to control all the markets, but in fact they are about the same."
"This is a matter of concern." Liu Wei smiled slightly: "But it needs to cooperate with the public festival.... Moreover, tomorrow, it is presumable that the representatives of the wealthy families of the entire Hanoi County will basically come to Huai County, and they will have their own countermeasures when the time comes. ”
。。。。。。
If it is said that in the bad county, who has the greatest rights, the people of Huai County are really easy to say, but if it is said that whose mansion in Huai County is the most magnificent, then nine times out of ten someone will tell you that it must be the most magnificent mansion of the Wang family.
Huaixian Wang family, an ancient family, it is said that the ancestor is a descendant of the famous general Wang Jian of the Qin State, of course, this is just a saying, in fact, all families in this era will find themselves a famous ancestor.
Even Cao Cao, the controller of the famous Cao Wei group in history, is not a descendant of Cao Shen, the self-proclaimed prime minister? Therefore, for the ancestors of the wealthy families of this era who have not been traced for more than eight generations, they basically cannot be trusted.
But since people dare to say it, of course, they are not afraid of people checking, anyway, people bite to death, you can't do anything, and the wealthy families of this era, how can you say that you can check it?
The contemporary head of Huai County, Wang Xian, a legendary figure, was originally just a broken small family, but with his own intelligence and ruthlessness, he became the largest grain merchant in Huai County and even the surrounding counties in one fell swoop, basically all the grain in the vicinity had to pass through his hands.
At this time, Wang Xian knelt in the study, quietly holding a book and reading.
He is about forty years old, slightly fat, and has no beard on a white face, which is also Wang Xian's current heart disease, for people in this era, only eunuchs are beardless, but Wang Xian is obviously not a eunuch, so some people behind him say that this is his bad thing, God's punishment for him.
It was quiet in the study, Wang Xian was holding a scroll of bamboo slips, but his eyes were glazed, and his attention was obviously not on the book.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Wang family is under one person in Huaixian County, above 10,000 people, and its family is thriving.
But who knows the anxieties of his heart? Since Wang Kuang took office, he has repeatedly done something to the Wang family, although he has returned every time, but the feeling of being remembered all day long is really uncomfortable.
Moreover, what worries Wang Xian the most is the arrival of Liu Wei, one is the abolished emperor Hongnong King, and the other is the city Taishou, if it is taken out alone, it may not be too much of a threat to him, if the two people are united, the power it produces is by no means as simple as one plus one equals two.
However, Wang Yang's temptation just now is enough to explain the attitude of the two.
"The old slave has seen the master of the house." An old man who came to the old dragon bell pushed the door in.
"Uncle Chang is here." Wang Xian got up and said softly: "Xian has said many times, Chang Bo is the benefactor of the Wang family, how can he claim to be self-proclaimed?" ”
Chang Lin, the longest-lived person in the Wang family, is said to have passed the life of Wang Xian's father when he was young, and was regarded as a life-saving benefactor by the entire Wang family.
"Don't waste your courtesy!" Chang Lin shook his head, and then said, "The old slave has already inquired about what the head of the family ordered. His Royal Highness King Hongnong is indeed ready to unite with Wang Kuang and prepare to make a move against my Wang family. ”
"Sure enough!" Wang Xian narrowed his eyes slightly, and said coldly: "It seems that it is still too benevolent, the price of rice has been low for too long, and Wang Kuang, who has been in Huaixian for a long time, forgot who let the people of Huaixian County have rice to eat, and it is time to increase the price." ”
Chang Lin was unmoved, and still said slowly: "Calculate the time, as soon as the morning dawns, the families of all counties and counties can arrive in Huaixian County." ”
"Okay." Wang Xian took the case, and then apologized: "Uncle Chang has worked hard, but I still have to bother Uncle Chang to inform his subordinates to prepare a banquet, and there must be no mistakes." At the same time, they are informing Zhao, Xu and other families that from tomorrow onwards, all the things in their hands will increase in price by 30%. ”
"The old slave knows." Chang Lin nodded, arched his hand and said, "If the master of the family has nothing important, the old slave will retire first." ”
"Uncle Chang walks slowly!"
