As soon as the news that Tang Xiu wanted watermelon allies came out, overnight, all the powerful family forces in Taiyuan City were boiling.

How good is the prospect of watermelon, even a fool can see it now, originally intimidated by the pressure of Cheng Chuliang, the metropolitan governor, although there are many tempting people in Taiyuan City, but there is no one who really dares to reach out to the Tang family.

Cheng Chuliang lit up to protect the Tang Mansion, and even the city defense army was pulled out, such a murderous and domineering style, even Taiyuan Mansion Yin also had to give him some face, who can afford to provoke these indigenous families in Taiyuan City?

Therefore, during this time, these families can only watch the watermelons in the Tang Mansion become more and more violent, not to mention that they want to get involved, even if they want to eat watermelons, they don't have the privileges of the past, they have to send people to line up at the city gate, if the people sent are not strong, they even have to spend a high price to buy from some second-class dealers.

After a long time, these people will inevitably have a little resentment in their hearts, and some people have even begun to discuss whether to join forces to suppress the sales of watermelons.

Although Cheng Chuliang is the governor of the capital, he has the power of soldiers in his hands, and they can't afford to provoke him, but he can't force others to buy their things, right?

The Tang family has planted a hundred acres of watermelons, and it is impossible to pull such a cart or two carts out every day to sell them separately, right?

If they control the sales market and export channels of watermelons, and mobilize their shops to join forces to boycott, it will not take too long, only ten days and half a month, it is estimated that most of the Tang family's watermelons will rot in the ground.

This kind of suppression is not new, and it is not the first time that these big families in Taiyuan City have done this kind of thing. This time, if it weren't for Cheng Chuliang's Liwei who took the lead in standing up, and then the watermelons in the Tang Mansion rose violently at a speed they didn't expect, otherwise they wouldn't have thought of joining forces to resist until now.

But now, with Tang Xiu's willingness to use the watermelon cultivation method to openly solicit several allies to grow watermelons together, the short-lived alliance of these families began to collapse in an instant.

"This Tang Xiu, it's really time to come back! Threatening to give up the watermelon planting method so easily, wouldn't he already know about our gathering here today? ”

In the most luxurious box in the 'Tianxiang Teahouse' in Taiyuan City, Liu Chaiming, the latest head of the Liu family who topped the position of the Pei family among the four major families, heard the news that the servant had just handed him in, and his face was somewhat strange.

Well, as soon as they got together, and before they even said a few words, Tang Xiu's side had a countermeasure, and dismantled all their follow-up means in one fell swoop.

The popularity of watermelons in Taiyuan is obvious to all, and if the Tang Mansion continues to expand the cultivation range, the status of their four major families will obviously be threatened by the strong rise of a Tang Mansion, otherwise they would not be sitting here now.

From this, you can imagine how tempting the method of planting watermelons is, so Tang Xiu's current proposal, who among the few people present can refuse?

At least he Liu Chai Ming was moved at this moment.

Cui Dexian, the head of the Cui family, pouted lightly: "Their Tang family used to open a medical hall, and they are not serious businessmen, and they won't understand these ways in the mall." And Tang Xiu, his reputation as a loser can be regarded as a household name in Taiyuan, just a little gentleman, he can say this, it's not that someone understands that someone gave him a trick, it's just a coincidence. ”

"However, since Tang Xiu has opened his mouth and wants to openly recruit any allies, this time Cheng Zhiliang Cheng Dadu should have no reason to stop us from cooperating with the Tang family, right?" Liu Chai Ming bit the word cooperation very hard, obviously, he didn't think that Tang Xiu could beat them in the shopping mall, and the so-called cooperation was just Tang Xiu making wedding clothes for them.

Li Weihe, the acting head of the Li family, and Wang Jing, the head of the Wang family, did not say anything, but it was not difficult to see from these two flashing eyes that these two guys were also moved.

Therefore, they originally gathered together to discuss how to suppress the four major families of the Tang family, but now none of them spoke to suppress the Tang family, and the four of them were all thinking about what price to spend to gain Tang Xiu's trust, to become Tang Xiu's 'ally', and then to get the watermelon cultivation method from Tang Xiu.

"The allies of the Tang family, it's enough to have the four of us," Wang Jingli took a sip of hot tea, raised his head and glanced at the other three, and said lightly: "As for the other small fish and shrimp, they are not qualified to participate, so the old man proposed, the four of us jointly signed and spread the news, the warning that should be warned, the beating that should be beaten, don't let these people jump out and stir up the situation." ”

"That's as it should be!" Li Weihe nodded in agreement.

Cui Dexian and Liu Chai Ming glanced at each other, and soon understood the potential meaning of Wang Jingli, this is to get the Tang family's planting method, but also do not want to spend too much price, this is quite in line with their own interests, they are also happy to see it, but is the Tang family's advantage really so easy to take advantage of?

"That's good." Seeing that no one objected, Wang Jingli said calmly: "I will ask you to do what you need to do tonight, and let's go to the Tang Mansion early tomorrow morning to see what kind of character this Tang Da loser who has been famous in Taiyuan City for a long time is!" ”

After speaking, Wang Jingli bowed his hand to the other three people, and took the lead in getting up and leaving the box.

This gathering of the patriarchs of the four major families ended without a problem because of Tang Xiu's words, and the original position and purpose were all reversed by Tang Xiu's words.

At the same time, Wang Zhaoxuan, the commander of the city defense army, also received the piece of heart that Tang Xiu said.

A whole thousand yuan of cash, just like this, was sent to Wang Zhaoxuan's door by Tang Panshi at night, Wang Zhaoxuan was naturally overjoyed, I didn't expect this Tang Xiu to be so sensible after having the blessing of Governor Cheng Dadu, and he could also put his little commander in his eyes, it was really good!

After sending Tang Panshi away, thinking of the three carts of watermelons promised by Tang Xiu tomorrow, Wang Zhaoxuan's face became a flower of joy, and he began to think about how to use these three carts of watermelons to bring him the greatest benefit.

and Yan Laoer, the gatekeeper of the East City Gate, did not fall.

Tang Panshi also rushed to thank him and apologize in person overnight, and personally presented forty yuan of cash and twenty watermelons as a thank you gift, which was regarded as a little heart for the twenty sergeants who were guarding the city at the East City Gate in the past few days.

Two yuan per person, one watermelon per person, twenty soldiers defending the city are all happy, watermelon is a rare thing, not to mention, the family has long looked at it, but the price of watermelon is too expensive and extremely difficult to buy, and I have not been able to eat a bite. Now it's okay, everyone has sent it to the door, and it is designated that it is better to have face when you take it home!

There are also these two pieces of money, which may not be anything to those big people, but in the eyes of these little soldiers, they are worth half a year's money, and it is definitely not a small amount of money.

Generous, generous, this Tang big loser really deserves his reputation, he is really a good person!

The moment they got something, all the soldiers defending the city were amazed in their hearts, and their good impression of Tang Xiu, a loser, doubled.

Because of Tang Xiu's special instructions, after Yan Lao Er got the previous benefits, Tang Panshi secretly gave ten yuan as a special thank you gift, this time, Yan Lao Er not only disappeared the resentment in his heart, but even raised Tang Xiu's image to the same height as the God of Wealth.

Young Master Tang is a good person, if you encounter such a thing in the future, you don't say it, the affairs of the Tang family must be taken care of!
