More than half of the time.

The Liu family in Hejian took the lead in announcing that the price of grain would be increased from 726 yuan to one stone.

Adjusted to three taels of silver and one stone.

To the moment of unitary time.

The Sun family, the Liu family and other families of Zhuojun attached themselves to the eleventh family of Liaodi.

The price of grain will be adjusted to 25 cents.

This cliff-like decline, which frightened all foreign families and businessmen, was finally alleviated.

After the news spread at a rapid pace.

For a while, countless families and businessmen echoed each other.

When the last rays of light in the sky are completely gone.

This cliff-like decline that made all foreign families and businessmen tremble has finally come to an end.

Not much.

As the night darkens, the lights come on.

Horse-drawn carriages that are extravagant, antique, or unremarkable.

Constantly galloping through the streets and alleys of Fuyang City.

The first half of the night.

There are all the restaurants and teahouses in Fuyang City that can be named.

All of them were full.

Looking at it, the children of the family who were in high spirits in the past, the businessmen, the proprietors, and the shopkeepers.

All of them were filled with a deep sadness.

There is no longer the slightest bit of the spirit of the past.

And in the second half of the night.

In Fuyang City, there are all the green buildings and painting boats that can be ranked.

Naturally, it has become a place for the children of a number of families, businessmen, proprietors, and shopkeepers to vent their depression.

Throughout the second half of the night, all the Qinglou painting boats in Fuyang City that could be ranked up screamed again and again.

And where there are people, there are naturally rivers and lakes.

Not to mention a group of children of unhappy families, businessmen, proprietors, and shopkeepers gathered together?

In order to minimize the impact of the situation.

Under the order of the county guard Sun Daohua.

Under the co-ordination of Juncheng Lu Yansheng.

The officials in the county government really broke their legs that night.

And the situation outside the southern gate of Fuyang City.

It is the opposite of the slightly chaotic situation in Fuyang City.

When the news of the precipitous drop in food prices in the city reached the south gate of Fuyang City.

Throughout the first half of the night.

The thirty long dragons outside the southern gate of Fuyang City instantly cheered.

What's more, they found dry firewood and other things.

After lighting the bonfire, they sang and danced outside the South City Gate.

Throughout the first half of the night.

Thirty long dragons outside the south gate of Fuyang City, countless people inside and outside Fuyang City.

It's really in a sea of joy all the time.

Meanwhile.

In the long dragon, a group of people of insight talked loudly.

The county guard Sun Daohua has naturally become a rare Qingtian lord in everyone's mouth.

And when the time passed silently into the second half of the night.

After the carnival, the people inside and outside the city of Fuyang were all silently sitting or lying in the long dragon.

Quietly waiting for the dawn of the next day to tear through the darkness.

For nearly nine adults in the long line.

The price of grain dropped from 726 to 225 cents.

This is certainly a great thing to congratulate.

But it's a pity.

The price of two or five dollars and one stone is still a sky-high price that they can not reach.

......

......

It's past midnight.

Two watchmen, one holding a gong and the other holding a bamboo stick, walked in the streets and alleys of Fuyang City.

"Bang~!"

"Bang Bang~!"

The watchman holding the bamboo stick slowly raised the bamboo stick in his hand.

One long and two short, striking weakly

Bamboo in hand.

"It's all right."

After a few breaths, a faint voice came from the mouth of the watchman holding the bamboo stick.

"Ugh."

"The way of this straight thief."

The man holding the bamboo pole lowered his hands weakly.

With a longing face, he looked at the brightly lit Red Moon Tower not far away.

Don't look at it as just a watchman who lives at the bottom.

can save up for three or four months with his meager income.

You can still enter the Red Moon Tower, so you can live happily.

Although the Anhong girl is old and yellow, she has a different taste.

If it is not a person holding a bamboo stick, he does not like to be young and beautiful.

It's really that the wealth around his waist is not allowed.

However.

Since the price of food in Fuyang City has skyrocketed.

Don't say that people are old.

If it weren't for the yamen, one meal a day would be included.

He may have starved to death on the streets.

"Alright."

"Don't look at it, let's go."

"There are still two streets, and the old place will lie down after fighting."

The watchman holding the gong beside him swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, and then hurriedly opened his mouth to urge.

"Ugh."

"What a world."

"The price of grain has risen, and the price of coarse hemp has risen."

"Why did the straight thief's Anhong also increase the price."

The watchman holding the bamboo stick let out a long sigh, and then spoke indignantly.

"Alright!"

"Let's go, I'm dying of hunger!"

"Besides, now food prices are starting to come down."

"In a few days, your old friend will definitely reduce the price."

The watchman holding the gong tightened his belt tightly, and then spoke again to urge.

"That's right."

"I just don't know what price will drop when the time comes."

"If only it could be reduced to eight or nine hundred."

"When the time comes, Lao Tzu would rather not eat or drink, and I have to let An Hong call Lao Tzu Brother Qing!"

Hearing this, the watchman holding the bamboo pole instantly came to his senses.

"Come on."

"Let's go."

"It's just two streets, and then the ink and ink should be five watches!"

The face of the watchman holding the gong gradually showed impatience.

"I'll be paid in two days."

"What about you? What are you going to do with the monthly money?"

The watchman holding the bamboo pole took a vicious look at the brightly lit Red Moon Tower.

Then he looked at his colleagues with a smile on his face.

"Don't pay attention to Lao Tzu's monthly money."

"Lao Tzu is different from you, one person feeds and the whole family is not hungry."

"Lao Tzu still has a family waiting for Lao Tzu to raise."

"When the monthly money is paid, Lao Tzu will buy all the food as soon as possible."

The man holding the gong glanced viciously at his colleague beside him.

"Two taels and five dollars and one stone, you also buy it?!"

The watchman holding the bamboo pole looked at his colleagues in disbelief.

"It's going to come down in a few days."

"I'm sure I'll buy all the food then."

"You don't have to beat me up for food."

"I'm old and young, and I'm always hungry!"

"Alright, stop, let's go."

The watchman holding the gong shook his head slightly, and then urged again.

"Alright, alright."

Seeing that it was hopeless to borrow money, the watchman holding the bamboo pole raised the bamboo pole in his hand again with a happy face.

"Bang."

"Bang Bang."

"It's all right."

"Bang.

」

"Bang Bang."

"It's all right."

Half an hour passed.

The figures of the two watchmen disappeared from the corner of the street.

After the figures of the two watchmen completely disappeared from the street corner.

A black figure suddenly stepped out of the darkness not far from where the two had been standing.

Yang Xianan never expected it.

It's just a way to go.

I happened to meet two watchmen blocking the road ahead and stopped.

And if you choose to take a detour.

It will undoubtedly greatly increase the distance.

In desperation, Yang Xian'an had to stand in the dark and quietly wait for the departure of the two watchmen.

If it weren't for the beating man holding the gong, he urged again and again.

It was really difficult for Yang Xian'an to guarantee that he would not order the two to be knocked unconscious.

If you really stun the two.

Of course, you can get to your destination quickly.

However, it also increases the risk of being detected by those who are interested.

Fortunately, after a short time, the two watchmen left completely.

"Is it right that the old pearl girl of the Red Moon Mansion is yellow?"

At the dark corner, Yang Xian'an took a deep look at the Red Moon Building, which was still brightly lit not far away.

The corners of his mouth under the black scarf suddenly rose slightly, outlining a smile that was difficult to understand.

After counting the interest.

Yang Xian'an waved his hand slightly behind him.

Then he clinged to the darkness and walked quickly into the distance.

Meanwhile.

South of the city of Fuyang.

Drunken Immortal Residence in the first-class courtyard.

Fan Yuanyu was led by a servant of the Pan family.

walked slowly to the front of the study in the other courtyard.

"Knock knock."

"Sir."

"Master Fan has arrived."

The Pan servant walked a few quick steps, and then gently knocked on the closed study door.

More than ten years later.

There was a soft "creak" sound.

Pan Yongliang, whose face was slightly red, opened the door from the inside.

"Master Fan, please."

Pan Yongliang leaned slightly sideways and stretched out his hand to ask.

"Master Pan, please."

Fan Yuanyu bowed his hand and said hello.

Not much.

Pan Yongliang and Fan Yuanyu exchanged a few words of greeting.

Then he sat down one after the other on the two Taishi chairs on both sides of the bookcase.

And the servant of the Pan family who led the way left with a very good eye.

"Drinking?"

"It seems that the head of the Pan family has gained a lot from this trip."

Fan Yuanyu sniffed twice after sitting down, and then said with a chuckle.

In Fuyang City tonight, almost all the foreign families and businessmen are busy meeting to discuss the plan.

Although Pan Yongliang and Fan Yuanyu have already made decisions, the superficial work that should be done still needs to be done.

"Okay, okay."

Pan Yongliang chuckled and poured two cups of tea.

"Liaodong, Liaoxi, and Zhuojun, these three counties have really formed an alliance?"

Fan Yuanyu couldn't help but ask when he heard this.

"The three counties must have formed an alliance."

"It's just that the Meng family, who is the first family of Zhuo County, didn't show up tonight."

Pan Yongliang nodded slightly, and then gently pushed one of the teas to Fan Yuanyu.

"The Meng family didn't show up?"

"If I'm not mistaken."

"Among the families and merchants in Zhuo County, the Meng family transports the most grain."

Fan Yuanyu's brows furrowed slightly when he heard this.

"What the Fan family master said is correct."

"The Meng family is indeed the family that transports the most grain in Zhuo County."

"But according to the Sun family master and the Liu family master."

"After Meng Zeming transported grain to Fuyang City."

"I have been staying in the ancestral house of the Zhu family and rarely go out."

"The Meng family's rice and grain shop has always been under the full management of his fifth son, Meng Qingfeng."

"And although Meng Qingfeng has always done his best, he is limited by talent."

"The Meng family's rice and grain are always tepid in their hands."

"In short."

"Meng Qingfeng is not open enough, but he is more than successful."

Pan Yongliang sighed for a few breaths, and then told everything he knew in detail.

Hear this.

Fan Yuanyu's originally slightly frowning brows instantly tightened.

For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong with the Meng family.

"Undeniable."

"The Meng family is indeed a behemoth in Zhuo County that cannot be taken lightly."

"But here and now."

"Don't talk about the Meng family, even if you add his in-laws Shanggu Zhu family."

"It can't make much of a wave."

Seeing this, Pan Yongliang opened his mouth to persuade without hesitation.

Today's Yandi is home to almost half of the families in the surrounding counties.

At this time, the situation is no longer a family name.

"I hope I'm overthinking."

"That's right."

"What is the attitude of the families and businessmen in the three counties of Liaodong, Liaoxi, and Zhuojun at today's banquet?"

Fan Yuanyu muttered in a low voice when he heard this, and then asked.

"Liaodong and Liaoxi suffered a once-in-a-century snowstorm ahead of the year."

"Although its situation is a little better than that of Yandi, the price of grain is basically maintained at two taels and five cents."

"Nowadays, the families and businessmen of Liaodong and Liaoxi counties have been difficult to ride tigers."

"What else can you do other than bite the price of two or five dollars?"

"As for the Zhuojun Sun, Liu and other families."

"The Meng family is transporting grain on a large scale, and it is also transporting grain on a large scale."

"If only the price of food can be maintained at around two or three cents."

"Even though there will be a lot of losses, it is not too fatal in general."

"But once the price of food drops to less than two taels, it's hard to say."

"That's why I think it's here."

"Zhuojun Sun, Liu and other families will form an alliance with the families and merchants of Liaodong and Liaoxi to advance and retreat together."

Pan Yongliang took a sip of tea and said slowly without hesitation.

The words fell.

Fan Yuanyu's brows couldn't help frowning slightly.

At this time, Fan Yuanyu's heart gradually rose to the idea that "the Meng family may be hiding in the dark and secretly arranging".

"That's right."

"What's going on over there?"

Pan Yongliang put down the tea cup in his hand and then asked.

"Over there?"

Fan Yuanyu came back to his senses instantly when he heard this.

"The situation on my side is roughly the same as yours."

"Hejian, Zhongshan and other county families and merchants have a faint tendency to form alliances."

"Other than that, it's the matter of the Liu family in the river."

"The fact that the Liu family in Hejian rashly lowered the price has caused many people to be dissatisfied."

"The people of his family in the Yan Land, I'm afraid it will be extremely difficult to return to the river this time."

Fan Yuanyu calmed down for a moment, and then replied.

As soon as this statement came out.

Pan Yongliang frowned unexpectedly tonight.

Cutting off someone's money is like killing one's parents.

The Liu family in Hejian rashly lowered the price, although it was the cause.

But it is by no means to blame for the precipitous drop in food prices.

It's just that at this time, the families and businessmen were eager to vent the anger in their hearts.

Sun Daohua was a feudal official of the imperial court, so he naturally did not dare to provoke easily.

In this way, the Liu family in Hejian, who took the lead in reducing prices, became the most suitable scapegoat.

"Looks like you and I need to find a scapegoat or two."

Pan

Yongliang sighed for a few breaths, and then said in a deep voice with an extremely solemn face.

Pan and Fan both wanted to do the bottom-up.

Then it is necessary to completely break the plate of food prices first.

And once Pan and Fan took the lead in cutting prices significantly.

Then it will inevitably become a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh of many foreign families like the Liu family in Hejian.

I can't wait to deal with it quickly.

"Before I came, I met the head of the Chen family and the head of the Huang family separately."

Fan Yuanyu said unhurriedly when he heard this.

"But the Pingshu Chen family and the Taoist Huang family?"

Pan Yongliang's brows instantly stretched out when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked.

"Exactly."

Fan Yuanyu nodded slightly.

The Chen family in Naping Shu City and the Huang family in Daoren City are all Daijun families.

It's just that at this time, the two families have completely sunset.

And this time the delivery of grain to Yandi may be their only chance to turn over.

But...... It's a pity.

"What was the result?"

Pan Yongliang calmed down a little when he heard this, and then hurriedly asked.

"After making a promise."

"The Chen and Huang families are extremely happy."

Fan Yuanyu nodded slightly and replied.

"Good! Good! Okay!"

"There is the Chen family in Pingshu City, and the Huang family in Daoren City."

"Everything falls into place!"

Pan Yongliang couldn't help but applaud when he heard this.

True to his words.

There are two scapegoats in the Chen family of Pingshu City and the Huang family in Daoren City.

Everything that follows will seem extraordinarily logical.
