Chapter 171: Heartache, Heartache, Heartache.
"Fifty thousand stone of grain."
In front of Wancheng's official warehouse, Chen Sheng, Jia Xu, Liao Hua, Zhou Cang, and some personal guards, looking at the big cars coming in and out, everyone's faces showed joy and satisfaction.
With such a batch of grain, let alone conquering Runan, even if you fail to capture the twenty or thirty cities in Runan, you can survive for a long time.
For Chen Sheng, the meaning is particularly different, this is the food that was forcibly taken from the hands of that damn Cai Mao.
"General, this is 50,000 stones, which is life-saving food for Cao Ying. For Cai Mao, it is also a very important asset, and now it has fallen into our official position. I don't know what kind of terrible face Cao Ying, Cai Mao will have after learning the news? ”
Liao Hua was also very excited, and the look on his face was full of satisfaction with a good harvest.
"Huh." Chen Sheng couldn't make any other expressions except for laughing.
Chen Sheng just smiled and watched, and it wasn't until a long time later that Chen Sheng put away his particularly satisfied look, turned his head to Zhou Cang, Liao Hua, and Jia Xu and said, "With the grain, the next thing is Runan." This time, those in charge of the offensive must exert all their strength, and those in charge of defense must not slacken. Up and down, go all out. ”
"No."
The crowd agreed.
After such an episode, for the Wancheng forces led by Chen Sheng, it greatly boosted their morale.
However, this is not good for Cai Mao's forces, not only bad, but very, very bad.
In Xiangyang City, Cai Mao's mansion has always been famous for its huge area and beautiful repairs, in addition, there is also a very wealthy phenomenon. That is, you can see the carriage in front of Cai Mao's mansion every day. The carriage may be lined up for many blocks, and it is really busy.
And today there is this phenomenon, and this phenomenon is even more popular. I saw that in front of Cai's house, there were thirty or forty carriages, and each carriage was very delicate and magnificent.
Obviously, the owners of each of these carriages are either rich or noble.
If there was such a big scene in the past, the guards in front of the door, the house slaves would have already smiled and straightened their chests, and they would have as much arrogance as they wanted. But today, the guards and house slaves in front of the door were all covered in cold sweat, and even their faces were pale.
You know, it's just before the autumn harvest, and the temperature is already very low. It can be seen that this is not a normal hot sweat, but a cold sweat.
Not only in front of the mansion, but in the entire Cai Mansion, whether it is the walking maid or the subordinate who is in charge of chores, they are all cautious and cautious.
Because they all know that their own masters are in a very bad mood today, just like a volcano, it can erupt at any time. And his own master, Cai Mao, is an important minister in Jingzhou. Even one sneeze will make the entire Jingzhou shake three times. Not to mention, these people whose lives are cheaper than paper. If you anger the master, you really don't know how the dead word is written.
Everyone knows that they must not anger their lord today. But the people don't know that their lord is also angry today, and he has to suffer this anger.
I saw that in the hall of Cai's mansion, there were many people kneeling, these people were both white-haired old men and young people, but without exception, they were all dignified men with dignified temperament.
As explained above, there are very, very many big families in Jingzhou. And Cai Mao is only the largest of them, that is, the representative of the leader, and these big clans have allied with each other and made friends, forming a huge force that even Jingzhou Mu Liu Biao can't help it.
And this time the grain trade, everyone has contributed, otherwise even with the wealth of Jingzhou, these families will not be able to make up a full 50,000 stone of grain. Correspondingly, these grains are also most of the food stored by the family. The big guys are counting on this transaction to be made and take their family's fortune to the next level.
And what's going on now? The news of the grain being intercepted came from the north, and the principals of these big clans naturally couldn't sit still, and they came to Cai Mao's mansion to question them.
"Cai Deqi, Cai Deqi. The old man had said before that this grain transaction had nothing to do with Cao Ying, but it had a lot to do with entering Chen Sheng's Wancheng. That Chen Sheng is a hungry wolf, and you made a proposal to the lord to halve the food for Chen Sheng's aid, and when he saw the 50,000 stone of grain coming to the door, he didn't open his mouth to bite it? ”
A gray-haired old man unceremoniously reprimanded Cai Mao.
This person is a person from the Pang family in Jingzhou, named Pang Fei, and he is a very old person. This Pang is also Pang Degong, Pang Tong's Pang Zi, Pang Zi is a very large family, and there are cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods. And this Pang Fei dared to partner with Cai Mao and did the business to Cao Ying's side.
"You said that, but didn't you agree to it in the end?" Facing Pang Fei's questioning, Cai Mao couldn't help but say something in her heart. But in the face of this old qualified big man, Cai Mao didn't dare to say this, not only didn't dare, but also had to accompany the smiling face, and said: "Mr. Pang, I didn't expect that after such a careful plan, Chen Sheng would actually be able to get the news." ”
"What are you talking about, as the saying goes, no matter how perfect a house is, there will always be loopholes. You should have thought of this since you made this deal, and now it's smashed. You have to take full responsibility. Pang Fei blushed when he heard this, and his neck was rough.
"Yes, Cai Mao, you have to take full responsibility."
In the past, all of them were very decent and good talkers, but now in the face of such a big loss, they are all like red-eyed wolves, biting and biting.
To be honest, Cai Mao wanted to repay the debt, but looking at these blood-red eyes, even if Cai Mao's power was as great as a cow, he didn't dare to repay the debt.
No matter how strong the Cai clan is, it can't withstand the siege of the wolves. For such a big loss, these well-dressed beasts did everything. Cai Mao believes in this.
So, Cai Mao had to swallow it in her stomach with her teeth, gritted her teeth and said, "Don't worry, this loss." I'm paying seventy percent. ”
This is Cai Mao's final bottom line.
"Seventy percent?" After listening to Cai Mao's words, after pondering for a while, the representatives of these big clans immediately felt satisfied, and they returned to their well-dressed appearance.
said to Cai Mao pretendly, where is it, this time you have spent a lot of money.
Soon after, the delegates left satisfied. Only Cai Mao was left in a daze, and seventy percent of the 50,000 stone grains were left. The thought of this number made Cai Mao dizzy.
"Chen Sheng, you can't die well." Finally, Cai Mao scolded. The sound soared to the sky, and it could be heard all over the house.
