Chapter 67: The Ye family attacked

Fang County is a sensation!

Paper can't contain the fire, although Liu Yuanshan deliberately concealed it so that his subordinates would not leak it, but on the day of the test ship, too many people saw it, and those subordinates were too excited. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

I don't know why, the fact that the Liu family built a big ship without sails suddenly spread throughout the Fang County area.

A ship that does not use the wind as a driving force is enough to make many people talk about it for a long time in the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, refreshed their worldview.

But not many people instantly understood what the ship meant.

Among them, several major families in Fang County were silent, obviously, they understood that if the legends outside were true, the Liu family really created such a ship that could travel quickly without sails, whether it was good or bad, it was really a sky-breaking feat.

For example, the fact that you can drive against the wind and water is very useful for transportation.

If it is applied to military affairs instead, who can be defeated in naval battles?

Hidden behind all is the strength of the Liu family.

The Liu family, who was originally too small in a small mountain village to be small, how did he grow into a giant in the entire Fang County in just one year, and he is still growing strongly.

Fang County's resources are limited, and the growth of the Liu family will inevitably conflict with other wealthy families, which is a truth that if you don't advance, you will retreat.

Therefore, hatred aside, the growth of the Liu family also worries the Ye family.

Also worried are some old families in Fang County, such as the Chen family, the Wu family, and the Yuan family, but they don't dare to blatantly oppose Liu Yuanshan at present.

So, under the careful organization of some well-intentioned people, several families began to collude and discuss in secret.

One day, a feast was quietly set up in the backyard of the Ye family, and some people with heads, faces and prestige were invited over, especially the injured rice grain shop owners on Houjie.

These people are all familiar with each other, either they are old partners and friends of the Ye family, or they are people who have some grudges against Liu Yuanshan, at least they can guarantee that they will not report to Liu Yuanshan.

The people invited by Ye Xiang are probably like this!

"Sit down, everyone!"

Ye Xiang sat down first.

The scene was a little dull, the candlelight was extinguished, and the table was full of wine, food and fruits, but no one used chopsticks to feast, one by one they stood on the chairs, looking at Ye Xiang, their faces became solemn.

"I think you've all heard of it, the Liu family built a big boat a few days ago, and it is said that it can sail in the big rivers without sails and with the power of the organ alone, and the future is terrifying!"

Ye Xiang exhaled deeply, reached out and picked up the wine cup in front of him, and toasted to the gentry who still hadn't spoken: "Don't be idle, come to my Ye family and behave like this, what are you afraid of, is it possible to be scared by the doll that has not yet been completed!" ”

"Brother Ye, when is this, you are still talking about the ship, let's gather together today to discuss, what should be done about the affairs of Houjie?"

A fat middle-aged man wearing a green cloth hat looked at Ye Xiang and spoke.

"yes!"

Chen Chenglu, who was closest to Ye Xiang, also looked constipated, took a sip of the sake in the wine cup, and said: "Liu Yuanshan is now stocking grain at a high price of two stones, I have estimated that this year's bumper harvest in Fang County will be hundreds of thousands of stones more than in previous years, if they are swallowed into the stomach by the surnamed Liu, we won't even have to drink the soup at that time!" ”

"Brother Ye! Don't you know, today's Liu family, that's really amazing, and the amount of food they eat every day is too much to count! ”

"Brother Ye will gather everyone over, hurry up and make a move!"

……

Everyone talked about it together.

Zhu Qianbin stood up fiercely, looked at Ye Xiang and said, "Brother Ye, according to me, if his surname Liu dares to accept it, I will dare to sell it." Anyway, I don't lose money that way. ”

"Do you have food?" Ye Xiang's face turned black and he glanced at him fiercely.

This betrayal compromised with Liu Yuanshan some time ago, which made Ye Xiang very unhappy.

"I ......"

Zhu Qianbin's family really has no grain in stock, there were two big hoards before, but unfortunately one was burned for Liu Yuanshan, and the rest was also sold to Liu Yuanshan.

"That's it!" Ye Xiang waved his hand to stop the people below from talking to each other, put his hands behind his back and stood up, and said eloquently: "You are all well-known figures in Fang County, don't you feel ashamed to be fiddled with by a milky doll between applause?" ”

"Don't steam steamed buns to fight for breath!" Ye Xiang's voice instantly became sharp: "No matter why his surname Liu insists on one or two silver and two stones of grain, let's try it." In fact, what Qian Bin said may not be a solution, but if it is a bit risky to let any one go, he is afraid of falling into Liu Yuanshan's kid. ”

"Therefore, I summoned everyone here today to share this risk evenly, let's go and break into his big pit together, and see what kind of medicine is sold in his gourd surnamed Liu!"

There was a moment of silence for the people below.

Subsequently, Chen Chenglu asked, "Don't know how to break in?" ”

"Sell him food!" Ye Xiang's eyes lit up, and he said, "Each of our families has a lot of surplus grain in their hands, didn't he buy it for one or two silver and two stones?" Okay, divide the surplus grain in your hands into small shares, secretly mix in the ranks of the common people, and sell them to him. ”

"I sent someone to investigate, and I also observed it carefully. Although the Liu family rose quickly, its foundation was unstable, and the family's savings were not as much as they imagined. According to the old man's estimate, the silver in his house is only 50,000 or 80,000 taels, so why be afraid. ”

"Wonderful, great goodness!" Yuan Sishan clapped his hands and got up from his seat, knelt down at Ye Xiang with a smile and licked: "Brother Ye's trick is really good, in this way, we can not only remove the old grain, but also exchange it for cash and silver, and vacate the warehouse." The most important thing is that after the Liu family was driven out of the market, the grain in the hands of the small people was not to be sold to us obediently in the end. It's a three-bird solution, and it's wonderful! ”

"Well, indeed, not bad!"

"yes, that way, it doesn't seem to be risky!"

"That kid from the Liu family is cunning and treacherous, it's better to be careful!"

There are also people who are not satisfied, and said: "It's a pity, if the grain in my family is saved in a famine year, it can be sold for three taels of silver and one stone, and now one or two silver and two stones are sold to Liu Yuanshan, which is just a market price, and it is a big loss!" ”

"Alright!" Ye Xiang snorted coldly and said to the man: "There is no perfect thing in the world, and the top priority at the moment is to smash the Liu family to death, not to take into account interests." ”

"That's okay, just do what Brother Ye said, let's go back and prepare according to this plan!" Chen Chenglu laughed: "In this way, eating wine and eating will have more taste." ”

"Haha!"

The crowd laughed.
