Yes. Both, Thorn Mansion. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu Bi suddenly came back with a group of remnants of the defeated generals as if it was a signal, Fanxian, Tuojiang, Jiangyuan, Shifang, and even Guangdu and Xindu, there were a large number of chaotic people, and for a while, it seemed that the entire Shu army was chaotic people.
"It shouldn't be!" In the state pastor's mansion, Liu Zhang rubbed his temples and frowned: "Even if there are chaotic people, they should appear from farther away first, this Shu army is the center of my Shu, why did it go out first?" ”
"Lord, this bandit is a backlog of grievances, the price of food is inflated, and the grievances are quite heavy, and other counties are not as good as in my eyes in Shuzhong, maybe there are, but since there are people everywhere in Shu County, maybe the news is blocked on the road and cannot be conveyed." Zhao Lei sighed, bowed down and said: "Lord, the people's grievances have already erupted, if we don't stabilize the price of grain, I'm afraid that my Shu will become a disaster for the people, and at that time, even the army will not be able to suppress it!" ”
"This ......" Liu Zhang couldn't help frowning when he heard this, stabilizing the price of grain, which means that the grain he received at a high price will be sold at the market price, and this trip is equivalent to blood compensation!
Knowing this, he should have taken advantage of the high price of grain to sell some to Qin Yong, and he could also stop the loss, but now to stabilize the price of grain, it is equivalent to cutting meat in his heart.
"What do you think?" Liu Zhang failed to make a decision in the end, but looked at the wealthy families present, it is easy to raise the price of grain, but to calm down, it is not his own decision, even if he is willing, if these wealthy families under his command do not let go, it will be difficult to stabilize the price of grain.
"My lord." Huang Quan sighed, bowed down and said, "I'm afraid that we have been calculated by villains." ”
"What's the explanation?" Liu Zhang was stunned, what does these two things have to do with each other?
"Have you ever wondered why these rioters will appear?" Huang Quan did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically.
"Probably...... Is it because of inflated food prices? Liu Zhang said with some uncertainty, it was precisely because of the rising price of grain that the major families began to hoard Juqi.
"Why is the price of food inflated?" Huang Quan narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered.
"Qin Yong? That's not because ......," Wu Yi on the side frowned.
"The court fights?" Huang Quan looked at everyone: "Do you have any definite news?" Why did the imperial court fight, and where did the soldiers and horses gather? And ......"
His gaze slowly swept over everyone: "Dare to ask the princes, have you seen that Qin Yong's figure recently?" So Qin Yong has visited you again in recent days to buy food? ”
"It's strange to say, I haven't seen Qin Yong make any moves for a few days." Wu Yi shook his head, it stands to reason that Qin Yong wants to raise grain and grass for the imperial court, even if the price of grain is high, he should think of other ways at this moment.
In fact, recently, many families have no bottom in their hearts, after all, the price of this grain is too high, and the imperial court is not a fool, so they can't buy it here, and they won't buy it elsewhere? So I have been waiting for Qin Yong to discuss, as long as Qin Yong is willing, even if he makes some profits, they are willing to sell, but at this moment, they found that no one has seen Qin Yong's figure recently.
"If my expectations are correct, at this moment, in the Qin Mansion, I am afraid it will be difficult to find Qin Yong." Huang Quan sighed: "This matter, from the very beginning, it was Qin Yong's desire to cholera my Shuzhong, we always thought that the Shu brocade was a way to obstruct the eyes, and the food was Qin Yong's purpose, but now it seems that the food is probably also a way to obstruct the eyes, Qin Yong's original purpose is to hope to concentrate all the grain in Shu into the hands of the major families, so that the people have no food to eat, and the people in Shu are in turmoil, and their hearts can be punished!" ”
"Someone!" Liu Zhang's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he hurriedly yelled at the door.
"Lord!" A general came in and bowed.
"Quickly take someone to the Qin Mansion and arrest that Qin Yong for me, if you can't catch Qin Yong, you will arrest the entire Qin Mansion for me!" Thinking that he might have been tricked, Liu Zhang's face was a little hideous, but in his heart, he still held on to the last glimmer of hope.
"Whoa!" The general said yes and left in a hurry.
Huang Quan said in a deep voice: "Lord, Qin Yong's matter is not concerned for the time being, for the sake of today's plan, one should quickly send troops to recapture Mianzhu Pass, this place is the gateway of my Shu County, there is no room for loss, and the other should stabilize the price of grain as soon as possible. Inside the capital, there will be chaos, the three, the news from General Zhang Ren before, the army in the area of Jiameng Pass is probably not Zhang Lu's department, but the imperial court's soldiers and horses, the real planner of this matter, I am afraid that it is not Qin Yong, but the imperial court is planning behind the scenes. ”
"Towards ...... Court...... Your Majesty? Liu Zhang's eyes widened in shock, and he looked at Huang Quan incredulously.
"Yes, two years ago, when the imperial court came to ask for the guilt, I am afraid that I already had the heart to enter Yizhou, but at that time, it was just when Yuan Shu was in turmoil, so I had to change it to appease, and instigated the lord to reuse that Zhang Song and the like, so that I was divided within Yizhou, and then that Qin Yong, although he was not an official of the imperial court, but the relationship between Qin Yong and the imperial court, I am afraid that there is no need to say more, you can also see some." Huang Quan sneered.
"Yes, if this is not the case, why is the so-called distribution power of the imperial court in the hands of Qin Yong, in terms of family background, status, and connections, which one of the princes present is not ten times stronger than that Qin Yong, but the imperial court turns a blind eye?" Wu Yi reacted and nodded fiercely.
When Liu Zhang heard this, his face became gloomy, Zhang Song had already left, his eyes swept to Zhao Lei and Wang Fu at this moment, these people were the weapons that Liu Ye recommended for him to balance the family, and now it seems that I am afraid that the imperial uncle was not at ease at the beginning.
"Lord!" Zhao Lei and Wang Fu knelt on the ground and said bitterly: "We are all thinking about the lord, and we have never had contact with the imperial court. ”
"Get up." Liu Zhang waved his hand in disgust, although he said so, but Huang Quan's words were definitely a fatal blow to Zhao Lei, the newly promoted poor family or the children of the family who were not taken seriously, and it was foreseeable that with today's events, it would be difficult for Liu Zhang to trust these people in the future.
"Lord, the last general led the troops to the Qin Mansion, but found that in the Qin Mansion, Qin Yong and his Zhuangzhong guests were long gone, leaving only a few old servants to take care of the manor! The family's belongings have long been emptied. The general came back and bowed to Liu Zhang.
"Smack~" Liu Zhang couldn't help but be furious when he heard this, and slapped the table and scolded angrily: "Good thief, he really harbors evil intentions!" ”
Huang Quan thought for a while, turned his head to look at the partial general, and said, "Bring those people up!" ”
"Whoa!" The general looked at Liu Zhang, saw Liu Zhang nodding, immediately bowed, exited the hall, and after a while, entered the hall with a few trembling old servants.
"See the envoy!" When several old servants saw Liu Zhang, they hurriedly bowed down.
"Let me ask you, do you know where Qin Yong hid his belongings at home?" Liu Zhang snorted angrily.
"This ......" Several old servants looked at each other and said with a wry smile: "I just waited for the Qin family master to be invited to take care of the manor recently, when we came, the Qin Mansion was already that look, and I hadn't even seen the face of the Qin family's master, how could we know where the property was hidden?" ”
"Are you saying that when you wait for the Qin Mansion, you have already disappeared Qin Yong?" Huang Quan glanced at Liu Zhang speechlessly, turned his head to look at several old servants, and asked in a deep voice.
"Not bad."
"When was Na Er and the others recruited into the Qin Mansion, and who was recruited? Where is this person now? Huang Quan asked several questions in a row.
"It was about a month ago, the housekeeper of the Qin family summoned me and others, and after arranging things, I haven't seen him again, as if he had already left that night." Several old servants struggled to remember.
At this time, everything has been revealed, a month ago, it was the time when the price of grain was raised to the highest, and it was also the time when the major families were in Qin Yong's eagerness to buy it, and they wantonly collected grain, at that time, Qin Yong had already left!
"Puff~"
Liu Zhang sat down on the chair in a daze, looking at the few people in front of him blankly, although all kinds of evidence had pointed to Qin Yong before, but there was still a trace of luck in his heart, at this moment, all the luck was completely dissipated with the words of the old servant, and at this moment, in addition to feeling sorry for those money, there was more anger and hatred.
"Qin Yong~"
These two words almost popped out from between Liu Zhang's teeth, Qin Yong's departure directly caused nearly half of his family wealth to be scattered, for Liu Zhang, who regarded wealth as his life, this was more painful than directly cutting out his heart.
"The lord is angry, for the sake of today's plan, he should first calm the rebellion in Shuzhong, and then do what he thinks." Pang Yi, who had not spoken much, said in a deep voice.
"Quell the chaos!" Liu Zhang rubbed his head fiercely: "Liu Zhang! ”
"The last general!" Liu Xuan stepped forward and bowed.
"Give another 4,000 elites, Heer's soldiers, a total of 5,000 people, no matter what you use and method, recapture Mianzhu as soon as possible!" Liu Zhang said hatefully.
"Whoa!" Liu Xuan bowed.
"Yang Huai."
"The last general!"
"Point 8,000 men and horses to go on the expedition and pacify the rebellious people of Shu County as soon as possible!"
"The last general commands!" Yang Huai agreed and took the order to retire.
"As for stabilizing grain prices...... Liu Zhang turned his head to look at the scholars present, frowned and said: "Since there is a thief army in the area of Jiameng Pass, in order to prevent a big war, the grain and grass in the treasury will not move for the time being, and support the army at any time to stabilize the grain price, so I will bother the lord to make the decision." ”
The next war will also require food, and there may be a lot, so let's leave the matter of stabilizing food prices to the family.
"This ......" A group of people from the family looked at each other and made trouble for a long time, and the feelings were to ask us to pay? The state capital doesn't care at all?
"Lord, this matter ......" Wu Yi frowned and looked at Liu Zhang, and said a little unhappily: "This matter has been in a uproar now, and it should be up to the lord to come forward, first, to convince the people, and second, to let the people experience the benevolence of the lord." ”
When Liu Zhang heard this, he immediately exploded, and wanted to let himself give food, but there was no way!
After thinking about it, he immediately said: "Since this is the case, then Gu will issue a decree and entrust this matter to Ziyuan." ”
Without waiting for Wu Yi, who was stunned, to refute, Liu Zhang had already stood up: "This matter is settled, I am tired, and I will go back." ”
