Chapter 695 Acceptance
Ding Feng, who was kneeling on the ground, heard Tie Si's words, and his face turned pale, and he looked up at Shangguan Qiuyu, whose expression was a little flickering.
Hurriedly said:
"Major General... My Ding family has food, my Ding family has food, as long as the major general is willing to rescue my father, my Ding family is willing to supply the army with food and grass. ”
"Press?" Just when Shangguan Qiuyu decided to get up and leave.
Hearing Ding Feng's mouth calling out that Ding's family had food, Shangguan Qiuyu stared at Ding Feng in front of him with dead eyes.
"You say it again," Shangguan Qiuyu said coldly.
You must know that just an ordinary level of two million troops, the food and grass needed for a day are piled up, let alone two million elite soldiers.
Outside the city of Yu. The elite soldiers of the four major legions all have the cultivation of the body refining realm.
Even in the face of a well-trained elite army, the soldiers of the four major legions of Yucheng, they can all defeat one against ten.
In the face of ordinary local armies, they can even defeat a hundred.
However, while the combat strength of the four major legions is unparalleled, the food and grass required are naturally several times or even ten times that of other elite armies.
Now that the Shangguan family relies on the Banzhou fiefdom, it is only enough to feed millions of elite soldiers, and no matter how much it is, it is powerless.
The main reason why Shangguan Qiuyu wantonly collected money and cooperated with the Mercy Moon Pavilion was nothing more than to accumulate money in order to support more troops.
Therefore, when he heard Ding Feng say that the Ding family had grain, he couldn't help but want to see how much grain and grass the other party had in his hands.
Is it worth it for the sake of a small Ding family, so as to make a bad deal with the Dongfang family.
Facing Shangguan Qiuyu's suddenly stern eyes, Ding Feng's heart couldn't help but suddenly, and after swallowing his saliva, he said:
"Because the villain's father wanted to get involved in the food industry, he invested most of the Ding family's wealth in food.
In the past five years, my Ding family has purchased and hoarded grain in various states and counties in the Central Plains, although I do not know the exact amount.
However, except for the border prefectures and counties of Dayu, the grain stores of the entire Central Plains states and counties, my Ding family controls more than 20% of the grain supply. ”
As if he was afraid that what he said would not be intuitive enough, Ding Feng continued:
"Although I don't know how many troops the old general Zhenguo sent this time.
However, even if all the four major legions outside Yucheng go out to fight, our Ding family can ensure that it has an endless supply of grain and grass for three years. ”
"Boom" Ding Feng's words surprised Shangguan Qiuyu Qiuyu.
He didn't expect Father Ding to have such courage in order to be able to occupy a place in the grain industry.
He was willing to use most of the family assets accumulated by the Ding family for several generations to purchase grain from various states and counties in the Central Plains to compete with the Dongfang family.
What is most important in troubled times? It is nothing more than people and food.
The entire Dayu Dynasty, the most essential part is located in the Central Plains more than a dozen states and counties.
The Central Plains is located in Dayu, not disturbed by foreign people, although there is a disaster of the sect, but this is only for the imperial court.
Thousands of years of comfort have led to dense population and abundant products in the Central Plains, and frequent wars in the border states and counties, which need the support of the Central Plains states and counties whenever needed.
And the Ding family, relying on the family assets accumulated by their ancestors for several generations, won 20% of the grain business in more than a dozen prefectures and counties in the Central Plains in one fell swoop.
The Ding family's move is tantamount to pulling teeth out of the tiger's mouth, so Shangguan Qiuyu finally understands why the Dongfang family will take action against the Ding family.
Twenty percent is not much, but in fact, it has been able to shake the monopoly position of the Oriental family in the grain industry.
In this way, if the Dongfang family does not pinch the Ding family to death, the Ding family will be supported by the imperial court to balance the Dongfang family, and the Dongfang family will be completely passive at that time.
Although this is very unlikely, it has to be guarded against.
Of course, in the end, it is a pity that the Ding family has no financial resources, but there is not much voice in the official, which has caused the current tragedy of the Ding family.
As long as businessmen are profitable, they become unscrupulous.
The reason why businessmen repeatedly pay attention to the word integrity is not to say that they are really honest in their hearts.
Their integrity is based on their own income, interest can be earned, and they will pay attention to integrity.
If there is no profit, you will see if there will be businessmen willing to lose their gains for the sake of integrity.
The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.
Obviously, the royal family did not want to let the Dongfang family be separated from it because of the Ding family.
It's like the Eight Great Princes Family, why have they been able to control the power of the upper echelons of the Dayu Dynasty for thousands of years.
The reason for this is nothing more than that the interests of the royal family and the eight major families are aligned.
Therefore, even if the power of the eight major families is tilted towards the opposition, the royal family will still trust the eight major families as always.
The four major business families have always supported the Yu Dynasty for thousands of years, and the rise and fall of the Yu Dynasty have been shared to have today's financial access to the world.
And the Ding family's move is completely opportunistic, so if they want to wrestle with it, they obviously don't even have the qualifications.
Therefore, it will be cleaned up by a Yucheng order whose official rank is no more than the county guard.
After weighing the pros and cons, Shangguan Qiuyu stared at Ding Feng, who was kneeling on the ground with a pleading face, and asked in a cold voice:
"Can you be the master of the Ding family?"
"Press?"
Seeing Shangguan Qiuyu's expression, Ding Feng was stunned for a moment, and then as if he had thought of something, he gritted his teeth and nodded:
"Yes, the villain is willing to dedicate all the Ding family to the young general, and I hope the young general will take it in. ”
Now that the Ding family has hated the Dongfang family, if there is no one to protect them, even if Shangguan Qiuyu rescues Ding's father, the Ding family is still in a catastrophe.
Therefore, Ding Feng's idea is very simple, that is, to lose everything owned by the Ding family and take refuge in the Shangguan family.
If there is a Shangguan family as a backer, then the Dongfang family will have some concerns, so as to avoid the Ding family's ruin.
"Hehe" Hearing Ding Feng's answer, Shangguan Qiuyu couldn't help laughing.
In these years, the emphasis is on the son inheriting the father's business, even if the heir is unbearable, the family business will be inherited by the heir after all.
Isn't even Wu Guogong the same? No matter how unbearable his son is, when he makes a heinous mistake, he doesn't also give up his old face and put his son's life first.
Ding Feng is the only son of the Ding family, as long as he has his promise, the entire Ding family can be owned by the Shangguan family.
As for the other party's father Ding, who was still in prison, Shangguan Qiuyu was not worried about the other party's repentance at all.
Just kidding, dare to repay the debt, unless the Ding family is idle and the official family's knife is not sharp enough.
In this way, the Shangguan family will be able to produce countless more grains for nothing, and at the same time, with the line of the Ding family, he does not need to spend a lot of effort to establish the Shangguan family's commercial bank.
Directly merge the Ding family firm, so that a lot of time can be saved.
Thinking of this, Shangguan Qiuyu did not hesitate, and bluntly assured him:
"In that case, go back first, and I'll find a way to get your father out of prison. ”
"Major General Xie, Major General Xie..."
After receiving Shangguan Qiuyu's assurance, Ding Feng couldn't help but be grateful.
During this period of worry, he had already had enough, although the money accumulated by the Ding family for several generations was gone, but at least his fate was saved.
As long as the life is saved, everything else is secondary.
What's more, his father can also be saved, and with the backing of the Shangguan family in the future, it is not hopeless for the Ding family to revive the family business.
