Three days later

A detailed joint information report was placed on Tang Luo's desk, which was the result of the Chengxi Security Department and the Tang Wind Media Department.

Combined with the two reports, this case of poisoning and slander also let Tang Luo understand the ins and outs.

Lou Hongzhi, a native of Xiling. Since childhood, he has studied medicine but it is not easy to save people, and he is very fond of opposing poisons and evil weeds. At the age of fifteen, he built a foundation and became a fan at the age of twenty-eight, with a strange martial arts style, cultivating many defensive martial arts but not using fists and feet, and being good at using poison, so most of his opponents died tragically from poison rather than martial arts. He is intelligent and sensitive, and his heart is arrogant.

Zeng Dao: "The world is a royal road rather than a domineering one, and Xiling Tianjiao is the only son of Shen Ke to become the king." ”

In other words, this guy is Gongzi Shen's brainless fan, and he wants to join Gongzi's Mansion and make a big move.

But the general level of cultivation is limited, and there are five hundred people in the Gongzi Mansion, and such a poisonous guy will definitely not be able to be reused, so he has not been recommended to the Gongzi Mansion if he is unwilling to be subordinate.

After Jiang Lin's battle, the name of Gongzi Shenwei was greatly damaged, and the disciples of Gongzi's Mansion dispersed three hundred times a day, and even the mortal warriors left no less than a hundred.

Mi Shen became the laughing stock of Xiling overnight, of course, there was the result of the Tang Clan's operation, but the most important thing was that there were too many people watching the battle, and they all felt that Mi Shen was too cowardly.

Warriors advocate bravery, and the battle of forgetting life and death is the spirit of glory, and Mishen's retreat means that there is no spirit of bravery, which makes those warriors who took refuge in the name of Gongzi Shen Tianjiao very disappointed, so they have resigned.

But this made Lou Hongzhi see the opportunity for him to be reused, Zhang Xinghe died, Mishen's first retainer was vacant, and the prestige of Gongzi's Mansion plummeted.

As long as he can ruthlessly lose Tang Luo's face and show his means, then Mishen will definitely look at him differently.

This conspiracy is based on this simple wish.

If this riot really can't be stopped, hundreds or thousands of people may die, and the reason for these thousands of lives is just a stepping stone for Lou Hongzhi to enter Gongzi's mansion.

"There's such a twisted bastard everywhere. Tang Luo put down the file and rubbed his head.

I thought it was Mishen's handiwork, used to take revenge on himself. So in the past three days, he had prepared a lot of plans, ready to play with them, but reading the file only made him feel nauseous.

After a few deep breaths, I suddenly felt tasteless. Throw another file into the brazier along with this one.

May 15

The Tang Clan's grain collection plan has been going on for a whole month, and in the past month, the sect masters of the Tang Clan's sect have begun to carry out a crazy grain purchase plan under Tang Ming's organization.

The so-called grain harvest is the harvest of rice.

Rice is generally divided into new grains, old grains and aged grains.

Rice that is harvested in the current year is called new grain, and what has been stored for more than a year is old grain. When the aged grain is severely aged, the color, taste, and smell will deteriorate, and these are called aged grains.

The clans only ate new grain, while the common people mostly ate old grain, and in places like Shantang, Kuyao, and Beggar's House, they could only eat the grain that was mixed with old grain.

Since Tang Zhi made a great wish to the sect, Tang Ming began to plan to receive a large amount of new grain, but compared to Tang Zhi's request, it was just a drop in the bucket.

Xiling rice is ripened three times a year, with spring in March, summer in June, and autumn in September. The new rice in March, everything that could be bought in the market, was bought out by Tang's.

Even if Tang Ming did it secretly, the whereabouts of these new grains were so impossible to hide, when the big and small clans in Xiling found out about the Tang clan's grain collection plan, they all removed the new grain from their rice rows and replaced it with old grain, which made Tang Ming hate and anger.

Xiling cultivated land is more than 2 million mu, but most of it is in the hands of clans, such as the 800,000 mu of cultivated land north of Xiling, all owned by the Tang clan. The 750,000 acres of fertile land south of Xiling are all private property.

Excluding this 1.55 million mu of fertile land, the cultivated land controlled by the Xiling people is only 450,000 mu.

And how can 450,000 acres of cultivated land feed 3 million people?

An ordinary person has to eat half a catty of food a day, not to mention those martial artists who eat a lot.

Three million ordinary people eat at least 547.5 million catties of grain a year, equivalent to about 270,000 tons. And the amount of food eaten by a warrior is about five times that of an ordinary person.

With hundreds of years of peace in Xiling, this has become the best soil for cultivating martial artists, and even children born from ordinary families will send one or two of them to the martial arts hall to practice martial arts.

As long as one child is successful in martial arts, he can come back to help the whole family to help build the foundation, so there are now three million people in Xiling, and there are very few who have not cultivated, most of them are still children of civilian families and orphans living on the streets.

This makes the people of Xiling eat more than one million tons of grain a year.

If you want to collect enough rations for the Xiling people for a year within two months, you must also have new food, Tang Ming only feels that Tang Zhi is difficult to be a strong man.

Because the Tang Mi Er clan kept the price of grain extremely low, six or seven gold coins could harvest a thousand catties of old grain, even the new rice sold in the world was only two or three gold dollars.

Under the authority of the two clans' near-low-price monopoly, most of the 450,000 mu of cultivated land in the hands of the other clans did not grow grain, but planted some melons, fruits and vegetables, and even more did not grow grain but directly purchased grain from the Tang and Mi clans.

Therefore, the new grain flowing in the Xiling world is all released by the Tang family and the Mi family, and Tang Ming's grain collection plan is to start from three aspects.

The first is to organize caravans to go to other big cities to collect grain on a large scale.

The second is to purchase all the new grain released by Mi's.

The third is to send a fleet of ships to release the news of grain collection on the waterway of the Lingjiang River, hoping that a large ship will come to transport grain.

Among the three strategies, the most important is undoubtedly to collect Mi's new grain, but this most important plan, after a full month of acquisition, has fallen into a great bottleneck.

In the Mi grain store, the price of all new grain skyrocketed to 30 gold per thousand catties in one day, which was obviously aimed at the Tang family's grain collection.

"Representative Ming, will we still accept this grain? Tang Qi was the leader in charge of organizing the purchase of new grain from the grain bank, and when he saw this situation, he reluctantly ran to Tang Ming to ask.

If they collected new grain at the price of 30 gold per 1,000 catties of grain, one ton would be 60 gold, and their goal was to collect more than 700,000 tons of new grain from Mi, which meant that more than 40 million gold coins in cash would be spent.

Some of the sub-sects claim to be worth tens of millions, but among them, the shop spirit beasts account for most of them, and the gold that is really flowing in hand, it is very remarkable to have a million, and in the face of the expenditure of more than 40 million gold at this time, Tang Qi can't help but be stunned, how dare he take the idea selfishly.

But Tang Ming thought of Tang Zhi's promise, calculated the value of the land in the north of the city, gritted his teeth and said: "Collect! Go and tell those sect masters that if someone refuses to pay, then not an inch of the land in the north of the city will be allowed in the future." ”
