Secretary Lang Fashan said leisurely:

"Although the import of agricultural supplies such as fertilized flour and livestock is not a forbidden commodity in the Great Song Dynasty, it is jointly operated by several large merchants------ who have shops in the coastal cities, and have completely taken over the operation of agricultural supplies other than grain and agricultural tools exported by the Federal Empire to the Great Song Dynasty.

To put it simply, it is a monopoly on these two operations in the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Crown Prince Zhang Zhansheng raised his eyebrows and said, "How many businessmen have such a force? ”

"Of course not! Their shareholders are several branches of the Huang Zhao family------ this was stipulated by Jia Pingzhang back then! ”

Crown Prince Zhang Zhansheng sneered: "The powerful Huang Zhao family ------ the profit of grain is the largest, why don't they monopolize this, and they can add money at will??" ”

Secretary Lang Fashan smiled calmly and said: "Don't get excited, this is the characteristic of the Great Song Dynasty, this is the powerful group that the king often says------ Jia Pingzhang used these two items in exchange for the compromise that they must not start with grain and farm tools." ”

"Hehe, your elite group still has a bottom line, and will compromise?!"

"Of course. They also know that if they can quietly earn a little money, the Great Song Dynasty will turn a blind eye, and if they dare to manipulate food prices, they will be looking for death! ”

Food has always been the foundation of the national fortune of the Great Song Dynasty government, and if you dare to mess up this, even the emperor's uncle will probably be ruthlessly eliminated.

If the Great Song Dynasty was a big sea ship, the Huang Zhao family was considered a first-class passenger, if some of these passengers chiseled the bottom of the ship for their own benefit------ other passengers did not use the second-class, third-class, fourth-class, and fifth-class people to do it, they would punch and kick such people to death.

The reason is very simple, everyone is on this boat, and every first-class passenger has no way to escape.

All the family is on board.

The Huang Zhao family is a real elite group, not a pseudo-elite group like the Tatar bandit group------ who can run away with gold and silver at any time, but they can't.

Minister of Agriculture Feng Zheng actually knows a little, but he can't do anything about it.

He had mentioned it to his master, but after thinking about it for a long time, he said, "Wait and see, let's not affect our agricultural imports."

Minister of Agriculture Feng Zhengle looked at the anger of Crown Prince Zhang Zhansheng and thought that he might be able to understand what a necessary compromise is.

Crown Prince Zhang Zhansheng calmed down a little and said, "They are moths------ how can they be considered small money if they are four times the price?" Is it also four times as much for livestock?! ”

Secretary Lang Fashan said: "They don't dare, at most half of the price will be raised!" I know that if these costs can be reduced, it will be of great help to the agricultural development of the Great Song Dynasty------ but the Great Song Dynasty is unable to solve it, but you have a way! ”

Secretary Lang Fashan looked at his old classmate with blazing eyes.

"The tree itself can't get rid of the moths on its body------"

Crown Prince Zhang Zhansheng immediately understood that the federal empire could do ------ very simple, find a few more agents or change the agency system!

Ah, he suddenly remembered his father's words, the change of this nation has always depended on external forces!

Next, they got back into the car and began to rush home.

The secretary, Lang Fashan, had to accompany them all the way to Hangzhou.

While passing through a small forest, they were stopped by a flock of sheep.

When several guards jumped out of the four-wheeled carriage to drive the sheep, they suddenly threw several smoke-emitting grenades from the woods, all of which were thrown at the four-wheeled carriage in which the crown prince was riding!

Immediately after that, more than a dozen javelins were thrown, and one guard was shot and fell to the ground.

"Enemy attack!" "Enemy attack!"

"Protect the Crown Prince!" "Protect the Crown Prince!"

The grenade exploded with a bang, and several successive waves of shock waves shook the carriage!

Shrapnel crackled on the carriage!

The coachman was injured and fell under the car screaming.

One of the horses pulling the cart was seriously injured, and the other ran wildly without heeding!

The wheels of the carriage were already crooked, barely running------ crown prince Zhang Zhansheng and secretary Xun Fake in the carriage were staggering and sitting unsteadily!

It's a long story, but it's only a few dozen seconds.

The other guards' eyes were red, and they suddenly pulled out their five-wheeled pistols and shot into the woods!

The small four-wheeled carriage, which had been following the crown prince's carriage, immediately changed, and the side of its carriage near the woods opened with a clatter!

Inside was a three-person hand-cranked Gatling gun crew!

"Tom! Tong! Tong! ”

The gunfire of the hand-cranked Gatling machine gun immediately suppressed the gunfire of the guards' revolver pistols.

No one had a clear goal, but they knew that the attacker must be in the woods.

The branches and leaves of the trees are beaten and scattered!

Foreign Minister Hou Dongfang jumped out of the four-wheeled carriage first, his face turned pale, and he staggered to chase the crown prince's crazy carriage.

He was followed by other ministers.

They didn't care about the attackers, but I hope the crown prince isn't hurt!

They screamed and gave chase, followed by several wagons.

The road conditions in this place are not good, very bumpy, and the horse-drawn carriage may not be as fast as anyone can go.

One of the horses in the crown prince's carriage finally fell to his death due to serious injuries, and the other horse was also pulled by it and fell on its side, and the whole carriage also overturned on its side!

When Foreign Minister Hou Dongfang arrived, the side door on the other side of the carriage was slowly arched open, and Crown Prince Zhang Zhansheng appeared in front of Hou Dongfang with blood on his face.

Oh, my gods, if only you were alive!

Hou Dongfang arrived panting, he hurriedly dragged the faint crown prince Zhang Zhansheng out of the carriage, checked his body, and it was okay, but his head was broken.

Crown Prince Zhang Zhansheng said forcefully: "Quick, let's see how Fashan is?!" ”

The other ministers also arrived, and they looked inside the carriage, where the secretary Lang Fashan was moaning and squirming.

They dragged him out too, and luckily, the guy only sprained his arm.

Hou Dongfang saw that the guards were also following, and he shouted: "Hurry up, you go into the woods to search, don't let the enemy take advantage of the loophole again."

Five or six guards swooped into the woods next to them, and in a moment shouted, "Safety! Safe! ”

Well, well, everyone's hearts slowly returned to calm.

Guo Ziren and Gu Jianshan sat on the ground together, and the two snuggled together back to back.

For more than ten years, they had never run so desperately, but for a few hundred meters, both of them seemed to have no strength.

Maybe it's too nervous.

If something goes wrong with Crown Prince Zhang Zhansheng, my god, I really can't imagine it!

Guo Ziren squinted at Crown Prince Zhang Zhansheng, who was sitting there trying to sober himself up.

Gu Jianshan gasped and said, "Old Guo------ we still have to get up early to run, even the main family insists on long-distance running." ”

"Well, let's go back and talk about it------ give me a cigarette first."

There the two were stupidly smoking cigarettes.

At this time, Yang Youxing limped to walk with a running motion.

He screamed in his mouth: "Crown Prince, is the crown prince okay?!" ”

"Shut up! He's fine! ”

Yang Youxing also sat down on the ground all of a sudden.

Guo Ziren smiled and said, "Look, there are still worse ones than the two of us!" ”

"! I just sprained my foot while jumping out of the car! ”
