Chapter 31: Let the Bullets Fly
After hearing Zhang Yun's words, the three family heads looked at Zhang Yun with interest.
Zhang Rulong spoke first and asked, "Oh? Mr. Zhang might as well speak it out and listen to it. ”
Seeing that they had taken the bait, Zhang Yun walked up to the three of them and said with a smile: "Your three families, each of you will give 2,000 stone of grain, and let other rich merchants in the city donate money. ”
When the three major families heard this, they felt that it was profitable, and immediately looked at Zhang Yun with a different look, and then said with a smile: "We are willing to give 5,000 stone of grain." ”
Zhang Yun was also shocked by this big stroke, and he was picking and searching just now, but now one is wider than the other.
Yang Zhen was on the side, looking at Zhang Rulong and the others with a gloomy face. After Zhang Rulong noticed Yang Zhen's gaze, he had no choice but to turn his head with a smile and say to Zhang Yun: "The more you out, the more you earn." ”
Seeing that they agreed so happily, Zhang Yun smiled secretly in his heart: "After that, there will be a time for you to cry." ”
After sending off the people of the three major families, Yang Zhen said with hatred: "These profiteers, who were crying poor just now, now see that they are profitable, and they take out 5,000 stone of grain casually, they are really angry." ”
Then he nodded and praised Zhang Yun's clever plan, which solved the urgent need. Then Yang Zhen asked solemnly: "Do you really want to share with them?" ”
Zhang Yun smiled, did not speak, had already made up his mind in his heart, and said secretly: "This time I will make you lose all your money." ”
The next day, the Dengzhou Mansion, all the people in the city who had heads and faces, came to this banquet.
The people of the three major families and Zhang Yun and Yang Zhen sat on the upper seat, and before the opening, Yang Zhen stood up and shouted: "Squires, I have suffered this disaster in Dengzhou, the Zhang family, the Zhao family and the head of the Wang family, and they have been favored by the emperor. Therefore, they decided to donate 5,000 stone of grain to each family to help me survive the catastrophe. ”
As soon as Yang Zhen's words were spoken, the whole audience exploded, and everyone said anything, some cried poor, and some expressed support, and the whole audience made a mess.
"I'll give 100 stone of grain," I saw a middle-aged man in a red costume shouting, this person also has a few shops in the city, which can be regarded as a small asset.
Zhang Yun heard that someone was the first to come out, and he also raised his wine glass, walked up to him and said with a smile: "Thank you for your generosity, Zhang Mou toasts you with a glass" Then, he drank it all.
As soon as everyone saw that someone had taken the lead, they immediately ordered to shout for a bid.
Another man dressed in black shouted: "I, Zhao, gave 200 stones of grain." Then he said hello and sat down, followed by the sound of shouting, one after another, so lively. These people are all wealthy merchants in the city, and naturally they refuse to lose face in front of others.
The people of the three major families were on the stage, looking at the people who kept shouting prices in the audience, laughing from ear to ear, looking at the people in the audience, just like looking at gold ingots, their eyes lit up.
As the banquet progressed, the number of shouts gradually increased, and the voice gradually became quieter.
Suddenly, a voice appeared, and the entire banquet was boiling.
"I'll give 5,000 stone of grain." Everyone searched for prestige and found that the man was about 50 years old, dressed in a red suit, short in stature, with thinning hair, and constantly playing with two walnuts in his hands. After shouting, he didn't forget to look in the direction of the three major families proudly.
Yang Zhen introduced in Zhang Yun's ear: "His name is Liu Yu, and he is the most powerful family in this city in addition to the three major families, and he has always wanted to keep pace with the three major families. ”
Seeing this, Zhang Yun felt down, walked to Liu Yu's side, pulled him to the main table, raised his glass, and said aloud to everyone: "Liu Weng is so generous, come, let me raise a glass together and toast Liu Weng." ”
That Liu Yu heard that Zhang Yun valued him so much, and he was also proud, and after drinking, he said with a sneer: "Lord Zhang, if you have any orders in the future, I, Liu Yu, will definitely not give up, and I dare not say anything else, in this Dengzhou City, I still have some right to speak." After finishing speaking, he glanced at the people of the three major families, as if to say, you are nothing more than that.
The people of the three major families didn't get angry with him, they just looked at him with the eyes of a fool, Zhang Rulong squinted his eyes and smiled: "That's right, who doesn't know that the head of the Liu family is in this Dengzhou City." Zhao Gang and Wang Fu also echoed later, in fact, their hearts had already blossomed: "Thank you Liu Yu for the 5,000 stone grain." ”
Zhang Yun looked at Liu Yu in front of him, and before he felt pity for him, he was sold and helped others count the money.
Zhang Yun also hurriedly said that he believed in Liu Yu's strength.
After Liu Yu shouted out 5,000 stone of grain, the whole banquet entered a climax, and then there was a burst of staggering, during which there were constantly small servants, walking through it and serving the guests.
Soon the banquet came to an end, the guests were ready to leave in twos and threes, Zhang Yun waved goodbye to them, and finally only Liu Yu and the people of the three major families were left, Liu Yu was already drunk, the road was unstable, his face was red, and he said to Zhang Yun with a mouthful of wine: "Lord Zhang, you, if you have any trouble, you must find me, I can help you solve it." Then he burped.
When Zhang Yun saw him like this, he hurriedly said that he must be sure, and finally, he instructed his servants to send him home. When Liu Yu left, he forcibly said that he was not drunk, which caused everyone to be speechless for a while.
After everyone left, the people from the three major families immediately came to ask Zhang Yun when he would return their grain.
Zhang Yun patted his chest and said, "After I count it, I'll send it to you." ”
The people of the three major families left satisfied.
After leaving, Zhang Yun immediately called Han Cheng and asked him to count how much grain he had collected today.
After Han Cheng ran to finish counting, he ran to Zhang Yun and said excitedly: "My lord, in addition to the grain of the three major families today, we also received 35,000 stone of grain, even if we give them 30,000, we will still have more than 20,000." ”
Zhang Yun also nodded with relief after hearing this, and Yang Zhen on the side heard this number and shouted: "I am saved in Dengzhou." ”
Then he solemnly said to Zhang Yun: "Do you really plan to give them thirty percent of the grain?" ”
Zhang Yun smiled, and then said slowly: "Not only will I not give them a share, even if it is their grain, I will not return it to them." Since he took out the things and sent them back, if he tore his face with us, he would be the enemy of the squires of the whole city. ”
After Yang Zhen heard this, he also felt that what Zhang Yun said made sense, so he looked at Zhang Yun with a smile, and then said: "You kid is really shameless, but the official likes it, hahaha." "This time, the people of the three major families had to suffer a dumb loss.
Han Cheng, who was on the side, immediately followed Zhang Yun's instructions to transport part of the grain to the relief point for the victims first, and the rest to the barracks, so that the people of the three major families could not go to the barracks to rob it.
At night, Qi Jiguang's mansion, after Qi Jiguang heard Zhang Yun's plan, he also applauded, Qi Jiguang said with a smile: "Okay, good, you should treat those profiteers well, if you are bold to do it, I don't believe it, they dare to come to my military camp to rob them." ”
After Zhang Yun got Qi Jiguang's support, he immediately called Han Cheng and instructed Han Cheng: "Go, spread the word, just say that after the dinner, I was infected with the wind and cold, and I can't see people, so I will talk about anything when I get better." ”
After Han Cheng received the order, he immediately retired.
Zhang Yun looked in the direction of the Bohai Sea and muttered, "Next, I have a chance to conquer you." ”
