"Strange moves? What's the trick? Zhou Tingshi also figured out the meaning of Cui County's move at this time, and the anger in his heart quickly calmed down, raised his head to look at the other party, and asked calmly.

"Hehe, in fact, this strange trick is nothing to put it bluntly, but such a bold idea, but very few people dare to think of it, and even if they think of it, I'm afraid few people dare to do it, but His Royal Highness King Qi dares to think and dare to do it." Cui Xianling saw Zhou Tingshi and guessed his intentions, but he sold Guanzi instead.

After regaining his composure, Zhou Tingshi saw that Cui Xian Ling was selling Guanzi, but he didn't ask, but picked up the teacup and took a sip, staring at the other party motionlessly.

Cui Xian Ling didn't ask about Zhou Thorn History, and he was a little bored, but he still said: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi is going to implement a futures transaction in several hemp producing fields, the so-called futures are a bit complicated to explain, but you can make an analogy, for example, if a farmer grows an acre of cotton, an average of 100 catties of cotton per mu can be harvested, if this 100 catties of cotton can be sold for a consistent price, then the Qi Wangfu will come forward and negotiate a slightly lower price than the farmer, and buy the cotton of this mu in advance, no matter whether the mu is overcharged or underharvested in the future, It's all owned by the Qi Palace! ”

Hearing Cui County's words, not only Zhou Tingshi was stunned, but several other county orders were also amazed, because this so-called futures is actually to buy the crops on a piece of land in advance, and the risks that the crops may encounter in the growth process are borne by the buyers, of course, because of this, the price of the crops sold will be lower than normal.

"It's ruthless. If this method is popularized in hemp-producing fields, then the farmers who originally planted hemp. Definitely going to switch to cotton, so that's it. The production of linen cloth will be completely cut off from the source, even if some scattered hemp can be collected from other places, it is difficult to meet the requirements of the Lu family's industry, and it is indeed worthy of His Royal Highness the King of Qi! Zhou Tingshi muttered to himself angrily and helplessly.

Several other county commanders glanced at each other a few times, and they all lowered their heads together, this kind of thing involved the battle between the Lu clan and the king of Qi. With their identity, it is naturally impossible to get started, so it is better to honestly go back to the county to educate the people.

After listening to Cui County's words, Zhou Jianshi immediately dispersed the meeting. Then let the mansion prepare the car, and hurried to the Lu family's mansion, and told everything he heard today, hoping that the Lu clan could come up with a set of ways to deal with it as soon as possible.

Chang'an City Qi Wangfu, the small lake in the front yard garden, a small painting boat flooded the lake, the three of them sat on the bow of the painting boat, holding a fishing rod is fishing, the person in the middle of the hair is gray, a face of elegance. It is Fu Wang An, the king of the Qi Palace, and on the right is a long-bodied young man, handsome and handsome, naturally our His Royal Highness the King of Qi. As for the one on the left, his appearance is more handsome than Li Su, but he is less masculine and heroic, and it is Cui Mengxue's own brother Cui Yu.

Cui Yu is also a disciple of Wang An, so he and Li Yu are not only friends, but also have a friendship with the same family. may even become Li Su's eldest brother in the future. As a disciple, since he came to Chang'an, he naturally wouldn't forget to meet his teacher, so although Cui Yu was a little embarrassed to see Li Su, he still came today. It's just that what he didn't expect was that as soon as the teacher saw him, he immediately pulled him and Li Su to go fishing.

Today's weather is good, the sun is shining on people's bodies, and autumn has just passed, and the lake has not yet frozen, which is a good day for fishing. It's just that fishing is not only a technical job, but also requires great patience, but unfortunately no matter which one, Li Su does not have, so after fishing for a long time, he only caught a few small fish one finger long. Cui Yu is a little stronger than him, but the biggest fish he catches is only the size of a palm. However, Wang An seems to know this well, and the results are very amazing, and he has already caught several big fish weighing seven or eight catties. …,

"Haha, another one!" At this moment, Wang An suddenly stood up and laughed loudly, and then saw the water splashing on the lake, and a hooked big fish was led by the fishing line and began to struggle violently on the water.

Seeing this situation, Li Su and Cui Yu invariably dropped the fishing rod in their hands and rushed up to help Wang An pull the fishing rod, but when they finally pulled the fish onto the boat, even Wang An couldn't help but be overjoyed, because what he caught was a black fish of about ten catties. The so-called black fish is actually a ferocious carnivorous fish that preys on other fish. The black fish has great strength in the water, no wonder it was so laborious when pulling just now, but the meat of this fish is very delicious, and it can grow to ten pounds of black fish, which is relatively rare.

"Liulang, it seems that we have a good mouth today, let the cook clean up this fish in a while, and the three of us have a few drinks!" With this big harvest, Wang An was also very excited, and he didn't even catch the fish, rowed the boat to the shore, and let people send the fish to the kitchen.

Looking at Wang An's excited appearance, Li Su smiled, the bigger the black fish, the better it is, the annual black fish is the most delicious, and the one Wang An fished must be more than a year. Speaking of the black fish that can grow so big in the small lake at home, it is all thanks to Wen Xin, because she likes to raise fish, and naturally she doesn't like to see others eat fish, so the fish in the lake are just let them grow, and over time, there will naturally be many big fish.

A few dishes were prepared and sent to the boat, and the three of them sat on the boat while eating and talking, and after chatting a few words of gossip, I saw Wang An drink a sip of black fish soup and praise a few words of the cook's skills, and then turned to Cui Yu and said: "Yu'er, do you have anything to say about the last time you were in Chengfu?" ”。

Hearing the teacher mention the incident of that day, Cui Yu's face turned red, and he glanced at Li Yu with some shame and said: "Teacher Qiyu, the disciple was so greedy for profit at that time that he wanted to use his sister as an exchange condition in exchange for Liulang's support for me, which is really despicable. ”

Hearing Cui Yu's words, Wang An and Li Su looked at each other and smiled. I saw him wave his hand and smiled: "Yu'er, what I want to hear is not this, and your approach is not wrong, if you want to regain the position of the patriarch of the Qinghe Cui clan, only with the support of Liulang in this world can you achieve what you want, as for the means, although it is a bit inferior in the eyes of others, if you want to be a patriarch, you should not be bound by this family affection, but neither Liulang nor I will approve of this matter!" ”

Hearing the teacher's words, and then looking at Li Su, who was smiling and silent, Cui Yu was a little puzzled, and couldn't help asking: "Teacher, if I get the position of patriarch, I will definitely reform the clan to make it conform to the development of the general trend, so that not only will there be one less resistance to industry and commerce, but even the development of industry and commerce will be lost, why won't you and Liulang agree?" ”

When he was in Chengfu, although Cui Yu gave up trying to win Li Su's support because of shame, in fact, in his heart, he didn't understand the deep meaning. The reason why Wang An dragged him to fish and drink was actually to explain this matter clearly, so as not to cause any estrangement between him and Li Su.

"Brother Cui, it's up to me to explain this matter, but I have to apologize to you in advance, because when I was in the Cheng Mansion that day, I didn't tell all the reasons for rejecting you!" Li Yu said, stood up and saluted Cui Yu, which was regarded as expressing his apology, and then told the main reason why he was not good to interfere in the internal struggle of their family.

Cui Yu was also full of doubts at first, and after listening to Li Yu's explanation, he suddenly felt enlightened, but soon he thought of another question, and immediately asked: "Liulang, although you have an advantage now, the strength of the major families is still there, if the development of labor and commerce like you is approaching step by step, aren't you afraid that after the other party adapts, you will think of a way to deal with it?" ”。 …,

Hearing Cui Yu's question, he saw Wang An's face turned pale, and said a lesson: "Yu'er, have you forgotten what I said before, the development of industry and commerce has become a general trend, and under this general trend, no matter what the other party thinks of to deal with it, in the end it is just a death struggle, and it can't change the overall situation at all!" ”

"Teacher Xie's lesson, the disciple was confused for a while, and he didn't expect this!" Hearing Wang An's lesson, Cui Yu finally remembered the general trend of the world analyzed by the teacher, and immediately stood up and said with a ashamed face.

"Wang Fu, you can't say it so absolutely, in fact, with the strength of the major families, if you are willing to give up one thing, then you can still become a decisive force in the future!" At this time, I saw Li Su suddenly said with a smile. Although he and Cui Yu are both Wang An's students, because of their identity and knowledge, the relationship between Li Su and Wang An can only be said to be both teachers and friends, and even some conceptual problems, Wang An has to ask Li Su for advice.

After this period of getting along, Wang An already has a deeper understanding of Li Su, plus he himself is resourceful, so after hearing Li Su's words, he immediately understood what he was referring to, but after he pondered for a while, he frowned and said: "Liulang, with the nature of these families with five surnames and seven looks, they shouldn't be able to give up such an important thing, right?" Quite a few words"

"Why can't you give up?" Li Su smiled and picked up a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth to taste, and then said, "It is the instinct of everything to seek profit and avoid evil, as small as a person, as big as a family, can not escape the influence of this instinct, the five surnames and seven hopes, these big families, in the face of life and death, if they don't want to be crushed into powder by the general trend, they can only seek change in the trap!" If it is really calculated, Brother Cui is a good example! ”

Hearing Li Su's words, Wang An also reacted, and the two of them glanced up at Cui Yu at the same time, and then they both laughed. It's just that Cui Yu, who is the party concerned, is full of doubts, and he really can't figure out what example the two of them can use themselves? As for the things they mentioned that let the five surnames and seven wangs give up, they are even more confused? (To be continued) ......,
