The next day.

The eastern canopy was a little white when the fish belly was white.

The undercurrent was surging for almost a whole night, and the city of Frustrated Sun finally gradually returned to its former tranquility.

However, whether it is the family in the Yan Land or the family merchants outside the Yan Land.

None of them felt the slightest relief from the fact that the sun was still rising.

On the contrary, he felt more and more uneasy and irritable.

South of the city of Fuyang.

In front of the study room of Qingyun Courtyard, the ancestral residence of the Zhu family.

Mrs. Meng, dressed in a plain dress, knocked softly on the door.

"Knock knock."

"Master, it's dawn."

Mrs. Meng called softly with distress on her face.

Since the beginning of April.

Zhu Guangli is visibly busy day by day.

In recent days, in addition to going out late at night.

I rarely stepped out of the study.

Meanwhile.

Zhu Guangli's complexion is also visibly haggard day by day.

Twenty or thirty years later.

With a soft creak.

Zhu Guangli, who was full of haggardness, gently opened the door.

"Didn't sleep last night?"

Seeing that Zhu Guangli had two dark circles under his eyes, his complexion was much haggard compared to yesterday.

A deep sense of distress instantly appeared on Mrs. Meng's face.

"Wait until you're done."

"You and I will go out of the city for a few days."

Zhu Guangli chuckled and moved out of the way, and did not answer Mrs. Meng's question directly.

"Ugh."

"I cooked you chicken soup."

"Drink it while it's hot."

"In a little while, the butlers and shopkeepers should come."

Mrs. Meng sighed softly, and took the food box in the hand of the maid next to her.

Immediately followed Zhu Guangli to the study.

"Madame's cooking skills are still so good."

Zhu Guangli chuckled and slowly sat down on the Taishi chair.

"Okay with you."

"Before you opened the food box, you smelled it?"

Mrs. Meng opened the food box without hesitation, and placed the contents of the food one by one on the bookcase.

In his busy schedule, he still took a blank look at Zhu Guangli.

"How can a small food box cover Madame's divine chef?"

Zhu Guangli chuckled and picked up the wooden chopsticks, picked up a chopstick of vinegar celery, and put it in his mouth with a face full of enjoyment.

"You, you, eat quickly."

"I'll have to go to Ting'er when you're done."

"Yurong is almost due to give birth this month."

Mrs. Meng glanced at Zhu Guangli again, and then walked to the windowsill without hurrying.

Gently push open the closed windowsill and let in fresh air from the window.

"Just go."

"After eating, I'll call someone to clean up."

Zhu Guangli took out a few pieces of wild ginseng, and then took a small sip of chicken soup and drank it.

"Pick it out and do it."

"Eat them all."

Mrs. Meng turned around and saw that Zhu Guangli had carefully prepared more than two hundred years of wild ginseng singled out.

I couldn't help but speed up my pace.

"Stunned."

"Eat them all together?"

Zhu Guangli was already full of bitterness before he ate.

"Eat them all."

Mrs. Meng nodded earnestly with a serious face.

"Good...... Okay......."

Hearing this, Zhu Guangli picked up a piece of wild ginseng with a bitter face, and put it in his mouth very slowly.

As far as the Zhu family is concerned, he is the head of the family.

As far as the small family of Qingyun Yuan is concerned, he is still the head of the family.

It's just that the head of the family can never be the head of the meal.

"This is the 500-year-old wild

Mountain ginseng, or the two for three or four hundred years?"

"How is it so bitter?"

Zhu Guangli took a small bite, and then was silent with a bitter face.

After more than 100 breaths, Zhu Guangli suddenly raised his head and asked.

"Neither."

Mrs. Meng shook her head slightly, and then replied.

"Oh?"

Zhu Guangli sent the ginseng to the mouth again, and while Mrs. Meng was not paying attention, the wild ginseng in his mouth quietly spit into the sleeve.

"More than five hundred years ago, the old man asked me to give it to Princess Yan."

"Of the two for three or four hundred years, one should be kept for the old man."

"The other one, half of it is for Yurong, and half for Wanning to keep."

"You're eating those piles that are more than 200 years old."

"If you want to eat three or four hundred years, when you're done with this, I'll go back to my mother's house."

"My brother should still have two or three three-hundred-year-old Korean ginseng."

Mrs. Meng sat upright on the guest seat, and said slowly.

"Forget it."

"Those Korean ginseng are very precious to Brother Meng."

"Let's not take love away from us."

Zhu Guangli repeated his old tricks and once again hid a piece of wild ginseng in his sleeve.

"That's right."

"Is there any movement over there?"

Zhu Guangli picked up a piece of wild ginseng again, and then asked slowly.

"Not yet."

"Did you say that you would take Wanning to Yunquan Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha for a while?"

Mrs. Meng shook her head helplessly when she heard this, and then asked.

In the blink of an eye, Zhu Guangli hid a few pieces of wild ginseng again.

"There's no need for that trouble."

"The prince is a person who cares about the Buddha."

"Just let it be."

Zhu Guangli shook his head slightly when he heard this.

The reason for this question.

It was nothing more than an attempt to divert Mrs. Meng's attention.

Now that the goal has been achieved, I will not say much about the question of Prince Yan's heir.

"That's right."

When Mrs. Meng heard this, the matter of the Buddha's bone relics instantly appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but nodded.

"It's not too early."

"Madame, it's time to go to Ting'er to see Yurong."

Zhu Guangli chuckled and took the initiative to clean up the dishes.

"Oh."

Mrs. Meng has not completely recovered from the Buddha's bone relics.

When it comes back to its senses.

The person had already left the study under Zhu Guangli's half-push and half-send.

"Did you really eat all the wild ginseng?"

Mrs. Meng stood in front of the door of the study and couldn't help asking.

"Eat, eat, eat."

"It's getting late, ma'am."

In the study, Zhu Guangli took out several pieces of wild ginseng from the hem of his sleeve and quickly buried them under an extremely lush green plant.

"Oh."

Although Mrs. Meng was full of suspicion, she saw that the hour was really not early, so she had no choice but to leave with the maid first.

Zhu Guangli waited quietly for a moment.

I saw that there was no movement outside the closed study door for a long time.

I can't help but feel completely relieved.

Zhu Guangli calmed down for a moment, and then took out a brand new account book from the left side of the bookcase.

I read it with a very serious expression.

Not much.

Several housekeepers and shopkeepers of the Zhu Mansion jointly asked to see him.

Zhu Guangli, who had almost stayed awake all night, once again plunged into the intense busyness.

.......

.......

It's almost time.

On the occasion of the three poles of the sun.

A servant of Qingyun Courtyard suddenly hurried straight to Qingyun Courtyard from outside.

As soon as Fang was admitted to the hospital, he ran straight towards the study.

"Knock knock."

"Sir."

The servant of Qingyun Courtyard walked to the door of the study breathlessly, and then knocked lightly on the door.

Inside the study room of Seiun-in.

Zhu Guangli couldn't help but pause when he heard this.

Immediately, several butlers and shopkeepers facing down waved their hands slightly and said, "Go back and wait for orders."

"Yes." Hearing this, several housekeepers and shopkeepers stood up and saluted respectfully.

Wait for the figure of the digital housekeeper and the big shopkeeper to completely disappear behind the study.

Zhu Guangli waved his hand slightly towards the servant standing on the side of the door, signaling him to enter.

It's not that the servant doesn't know the etiquette.

It's that it comes first.

This is the saying, "The price of food in the city is more important than everything else, and everything that concerns the price of food in the city must be reported as soon as possible."

"Yes."

Outside the study, the servant who had always been paying attention to Zhu Guangli's movements from the corner of his eye hurriedly saluted respectfully when he saw this.

"Master Qiqi."

"The Chen family of Pingshu City of Daijun and the Huang family of Daoren City have announced price reductions one after another."

"The price of grain has been reduced from 225 cents and 1 stone to 223 cents and 1 stone."

The servants of Qingyun Courtyard walked quickly to Zhu Guangli three steps away, and then saluted respectfully again.

"Daijun Pingshu City Chen Family, Daoren City Royal."

"The price of grain has dropped from 225 cents a stone to 223 cents a stone."

Zhu Guangli's eyelids drooped slightly when he heard this, and he muttered in a low voice.

If it was as planned.

Today before nightfall.

The Zhu and Fan families will draw salaries at the same time.

Bring the price of grain down to one tael or four pennies a stone.

As for whether this move will cause public anger like the Liu family in Hejian.

The answer, of course, is yes.

However.

With the strength of the Zhu and Fan families in Shanggu County.

How can they care about the anger or non-anger of a group of foreign families and merchants?

Even if a group of foreign families are angry about this matter.

He also did not dare to touch a single hair of the Zhu and Fan families in Yandi.

As for future business outside the country?

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.

As long as there is enough interest, the enemy can also become "close" friends.

Not to mention most of this anger, he was sucked by the county guard Sun Daohua early.

Inside the study room of Seiun-in.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Guangli slowly raised his eyelids and looked at the servant in front of him.

"Tell me to go on, it's business as usual."

Zhu Guangli calmed down for a moment, and then commanded in a deep voice.

"Yes."

Hearing this, the servants of Qingyun Courtyard hurriedly bowed again, and then quickly exited the study.

After the figure of the servant of Qingyun Courtyard completely disappeared in the study.

Zhu Guangli got up from the Taishi chair and walked to the wide-open windowsill without hurrying.

"Daijun Pingshu City Chen Family."

"Dai Jun Daoren City Huang Family."

Zhu Guangli stood beside the wide-open windowsill, quietly looking at the scenery in the distance.

In his mind, he was constantly pondering the Chen family in Pingshu City and the Huang family in Daoren City.

Last night, when the Xianju Pavilion was in the courtyard.

Including him, everyone thought that if there was no accident, the price of grain in Fuyang City would remain at 225 yuan and 1 stone in the next few days.

However, no one expected that before they could make a move, some people would already be impatient.

"That's fine."

"That would save you a lot of trouble."

Zhu Guangli pondered for a moment, then suddenly grinned and chuckled.

As for the Chen family in Pingshu City and the Huang family in Daoren City?

These two are obviously the scapegoats that have been withdrawn.

As for the people behind the scenes, why Xu Ren is also.

What is the purpose of this move?

With his back to the Yanwang Mansion, Zhu Guangli, who was sitting firmly on the top of the mountain, didn't care.

It also has the strength to not care.

Zhu Guangli calmed down for a moment, and then walked behind the bookcase again without delay, and sat down firmly on the Taishi chair.

However, the other side sat firmly.

And one of his servants came from the outside.

"Sir."

"Master Meng will meet you outside the hospital."

The servant walked briskly to the door of the wide open study, and then saluted respectfully.

"Please let him in."

Zhu Guangli paused slightly when he heard this, and then opened his mouth to command.

"Yes."

The servant saluted again, and then walked away quickly.

A moment later.

Meng Zeming walked quickly to the front of the study under the guidance of the servants of Qingyun Academy.

"Brother Meng."

Zhu Guangli couldn't help but get up to greet him.

"Brother Zhu."

Meng Zeming paused and returned the salute.

"Please come inside."

After seeing the ceremony, Zhu Guangli stretched out his hand to invite, and then led the way.

The servant who had previously led the way silently withdrew from the place where the study was located.

Dozens of breaths later.

Zhu Guangli and Meng Zeming sat down in the host and guest seats one after the other.

"What do you think about the fact that the Chen family in Pingshu City and the Huang family in Daoren City have reduced their prices at the same time?"

As soon as Meng Ze Mingfang took his seat, he couldn't wait to ask.

"What do you think?"

"Naturally, I'll sit and watch."

Zhu Guangli chuckled when he heard this, and poured two cups of tea.

As soon as this statement came out.

Meng Zeming's tense heart instantly relaxed a little.

"I heard that last night, the Sun and Liu families formed an alliance with the families of Liaodong and Liaoxi."

Meng Zeming calmed down for a moment, and then spoke again.

"Oh."

Hearing this, Zhu Guangli picked up the teacup and nodded lightly.

"Aren't you afraid that they will join forces to buy all the grain in the hands of the Chen family in Pingshu City and the Huang family in Daoren City?"

Meng Zeming's brows couldn't help but lock instantly when he heard this.

What Zhu Guangli and others are planning, naturally they don't know.

But after this period of contact, with its intelligence, one or two clues can naturally be detected.

It is precisely because of this that Meng Zeming will instantly lock his brows.

"If they would take it, they will take it."

"They have a lot of money, and I'm lucky to be waiting for them."

Zhu Guangli put down the teacup in his hand, and then looked at Meng Zeming with a chuckle.

Hear this.

Meng Zeming couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

The eyelids also drooped at this time.

"What do you mean.......

After a while, Meng Zeming raised his eyelids sharply and looked at Zhu Guangli with a burning gaze.

"For the next few hours."

"There will be some families and businessmen who will continue to risk the disapproval of the family."

"Bring down the price of grain to two taels of silver."

"Whether it's the Sun, Liu, and Liaodi Alliances, or the other advance and retreat alliances."

"If you want to take it, go and take it."

"Before nightfall, the Zhu family and the Fan family will announce at the same time."

"Lower the price of food to one tael or four cents a stone."

Zhu Guangli's face gradually became serious.

As early as the beginning of Xu Yi's overall plan.

He has secretly ordered the Zhu, Fan, Dong and other families to secretly control, or support, or set up some small-scale families and commercial houses.

And now, as the situation moves towards the end.

Those who hold thousands of stones of grain for more than a few and more than a thousand stones for grain.

It's time to play to its rightful value.

Its scale is solid

It's not big, but the tigers are also afraid of wolves.

And what the Zhu, Fan, Dong and other families need to do.

It is to make a final blow at the last moment of the situation, or to kill with one blow.

and the comprehensive closing of the net since then, "anti-customer-oriented".

Inside the study room of Seiun-in.

Meng Zeming's eyes were instantly dull when he heard this.

Its original intention was to ask the Zhu and Fan families to hold the Zhuojun Sun and Liu families.

But he never expected that the Zhu and Fan families would play so big this time.

"One ...... One, two, four...... One two or four coins and one stone....... One Stone Grain ......"

"This ...... Is this ...... Isn't it too ...... It's so ruthless......."

After a full half a quarter of an hour, Meng Zeming came back to his senses and asked with palpitations.

"Is it big?"

"This is just the beginning."

When Zhu Guangli heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"This ...... That's ....... That's just it....... Just the beginning?!"

When Meng Zeming heard this, it was difficult to control the shock in his heart, and he screamed directly.
