Chapter 50: A Shocking Conspiracy
The concubine's mother's family, this way is definitely hard enough, but it was pried the day before the order was lowered.
This Lord Zhu, how big is his background?
And who's behind it?
Zhao Qing frowned.
"These are all things that the slaves have heard, and I don't know if it's true or not, the third grandmother just listens to it, don't tell outsiders about it." Seeing that she listened carefully, she really pondered it, and Chifeng hurriedly said.
"Who did you listen to?" Zhao Qing smiled and asked casually.
"This ......" Chi Feng blushed, "Lord Yuan had a secret conversation with the third master when he stepped down, and the slave was guarding the door at that time, the eldest daughter of Lord Yuan's brother married the second son of Uncle Chengyi, the two families are sons and daughters, this relationship is absolutely reliable, it seems that the imperial concubine Niangniang has reached a compromise with the queen mother for some reason, and the foreign family has made three official vacancies, one of which is the political envoy of Tanxi Province. "Sigh," ...... It's all the third master's bad luck. ”
The experience of the two lives, as soon as the gallop began, Zhao Qing understood, and immediately lost the interest in continuing to explore.
The high temple and the concubine and the queen are too far away, for her, the woman in the inner house who can't even get out of the second door, it is a god-like ethereal existence, even if she knows, she is powerless to change, just sighing.
"Then how did the third master completely fall out with the Yang family?" She asked instead.
The iron-clad Yamen flowing officials, the unpredictable sea, a big man, today he is promoted to the top, and he may be dismissed tomorrow and become a prisoner, since ancient times, smart businessmen will carefully keep a distance from them, they can go to drink flower wine together, play flower cards, and use money as paper as brothers, but they will not kowtow seriously, Lord Yuan is gone, Zhu Enzhang is here, and the smart Shen Huaiyu will be nostalgic. But he will never make enemies of Zhu Enzhang because of this, and he will definitely find a way to have a good relationship with Zhu Enzhang.
After all, he was carrying the entire Shen family!
"I heard that Zhu Enzhang was a student of Liang Weizhi, the secretary of the household department, so Lord Yuan entrusted one of his own who had a friendship with him to help the third master introduce him in the same year. But Zhu Enzhang has always been lukewarm, if he is about to leave, people can't guess, this side has not been figured out, and there are ruffians on the other side who come to the door to find trouble......" Chi Feng sighed, "The Shen family is still shallow in the end." The third master later learned that it turned out that this Zhu Enzhang was a first-class tanhua in the thirteenth year of Yongping, and Yang Jiantong, who was the political envoy of Changsu Bu at the time, was the same year, and worked together in the Hanlin Academy, and had a personal relationship, Zhu Enzhang's transfer to the prefect of Sui Yun was promoted by Yang Jiantong, and Yang Jiantong was also taken care of during his tenure, and this Yang Jiantong is the cousin of the old lady of the Yang family in Zhongzhou! ”
I see.
Zhao Qing sighed secretly.
This Shen Huaiyu is really unlucky.
With Zhu Enzhang's support, Mrs. Yang's waist immediately hardened. Not only did he worry about the price increase, but he also began to rob the Shen family's silk business, and went directly to Nanzhou to enter the brocade cloth agreed with the Shen family, because of the low price, he seized all the markets that the third master had worked so hard to develop in Zhongzhou Mansion overnight! Speaking of these, Chi Feng gritted his teeth, "They are geniuses who are afraid of the third master, and they have made up their minds to strangle the third master in the bud and force the Shen family to death, and the third master was furious." I plan to teach the Yang family a lesson. "Looking at Zhao Qing," the third master said, the Yang family has Zhu Enzhang's support, and he can't get around it. Only with this kind of pure business means will Zhu Enzhang see the Yang family fall and be unable to intervene! ”
That's why such a turbulent wave was set off in the Zhongzhou grain market!
Hehe, as Shen Huaiyu wished, the grain price in Tanxi is really like a wild horse that has escaped, and Zhu Enzhang and Zhu Bu's political envoys can't intervene even if they have three heads and six arms.
Zhao Qing immediately remembered Su Dao's letter, subconsciously. She had believed Su Dao's words...... Could it be that the rumors outside that caused the food prices to grow wildly were all manipulated by Shen Huaiyu before his death?
However, Fu Wannian is also the supreme military commander of a province, his words ......
He and Shen Huaiyu were brothers in life and death!
The thought flashed, and Zhao Qing's heart jumped suddenly.
Could it be that Fu Wannian was also involved?
If so, what an earth-shattering conspiracy will be behind this!
"It's not a struggle for hegemony, after this turmoil, how does the third master plan to deal with the Yang family?" The voice was faint and a little careless, but Zhao Qing's five fingers holding the teacup trembled slightly.
It's horrible.
Even important figures such as Su Dao and Fu Wannian participated.
What kind of conspiracy is this?
"How could the third master tell the minions of this kind of secret?" Galloping Wind shook his head.
If the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, and if the minister is not secret, he will **, this kind of secret Shen Huaijin will indeed not tell anyone.
Zhao Qing was disappointed.
There was silence in the flower hall.
“…… Spend a lot of money to compete with others for hegemony, and if you are not careful, your family will be ruined, is the third master really so sure that he can always control the overall situation? Muttering to himself, Zhao Qing suddenly raised his head, "After all, this is a life-and-death battle, has the third master ever thought that maybe he is not careful, this game planned by him will get out of control and become a real battle for hegemony, if so, with the financial resources of the Shen family and the Yang family, who will?" ”
Thinking of the crazy out-of-control food prices in the market, Chifeng's face turned pale.
"Once Mr. Su also asked the same thing, the third master said, in terms of financial resources, the Shen family is not as good as the Yang family, but the victory is to start early, when the Yang family was led to the hook, the price of grain has risen several times, and the opportunity has been lost, this difference between the positive and negative prices is enough to make up for the gap between the two funds, if the price of food is really out of control, no one can win without relying on external forces to fight for silver, everyone will lose both!"
"No, it won't!" Chunlan, who had been bowing her head and recording, couldn't help it anymore and questioned, "If you can't get the right to supply food to the Western Expedition Army, you may lose your family and go bankrupt, but as long as you get it, you can make money, and one of the Shen Yang families will definitely be able to get the right to supply food to the Western Expedition Army, which means that one of them will definitely win!" "You can't lose both!
Xia Zhu also nodded, glaring at Chi Feng.
The sound of galloping wind also became high.
"Everyone only thinks about snatching the right to supply grain to the army of the Western Expedition, but have you ever thought that the government will also use the competition between the two to reduce prices, and even if you get the right to supply grain, there will be no expected profits!"
"This ......"
They really hadn't thought about it!
Xia Zhu Chunlan was stunned at the same time.
"You may say that even if the price is lowered, it is a big deal to lose money in the first year, and this battle will be fought for seven or eight years, and you can earn back as much as you lose. But ......," Zhao Qing changed the topic, "what if this war is over after only a year and a half?" ”
His eyes suddenly lit up, and Chi Feng glanced at Zhao Qing in surprise.
Xia Zhu Chunlan's body was shocked.
For the first time, the two little girls realized how dangerous it was for everyone to give the monthly profits to the grandmother to help stock up on food! (To be continued.) )
