Chapter 36: The Contest Between the Rich Lords
"Madam, the Wan family is thinking about the people of Xujiaqiao, but the people of Xujiaqiao do not understand the good intentions of the Wan family, but take the opportunity to raise the price of food, so that they should learn a little lesson, so as not to encounter any disasters in the future, and the Wan family is fighting alone. ”
"......," Chen was silent for a while.
"I know that Mrs. Lu Dao has a good heart, but there are some things that are difficult to tell whether right or wrong, good or evil. In fact, if the Wanjia family had not come forward to provide disaster relief and take in the victims, thousands of victims in Xujiaqiao would have become a mob long ago, and it is likely that Xujiaqiao would have been a river of blood and a scorched earth. It was Wanjia's dedication that prevented all this from happening, and those who sat back and enjoyed it, not only did not get through the difficulties with Wanjia, but fell into the well. What's more, Wanjia can't survive this famine, which means that hundreds of thousands of people in Xujiaqiao can't survive it, and in other words, it's also for the good of the people in Xujiaqiao. If Mrs. doesn't act decisively, when the time comes, a catastrophe will come, and it will be too late to regret it. ”
"For the people of Xujiaqiao......"
"Yes, when the mob flows over, the Wanjia family can take the opportunity to organize the residents of Xujiaqiao to twist the scattered Xujiaqiao into a rope. ”
"If those people who have cleared the land are unwilling to protect Wanjia, isn't that counterproductive?" a hint of worry flashed across Chen's face.
"Madame has been thinking a lot, those disaster victims, who have tasted the warmth and coldness of the world, and now they finally find a place to eat and clothe, so they naturally cherish it and don't want to be destroyed. When the time comes, as long as you tell them that it is to protect the food they eat, and then put a heavy reward, are you afraid that they will not work for the Wanjia?"
"Well, you go back to sleep first, I'll think about it first. Chen pondered for a while and said lightly.
"Yes, ma'am. ”
"Ling'er, you send Xiao Zhao back. ”
"Uh-huh. ”
Wan Ling'er hurriedly got up, took Zhao Yuan's hand and walked out, opened the door, and flew out of the west courtyard with Zhao Yuan.
"It's really a big girl!" Seeing Wan Ling'er and Zhao Yuan disappear outside the door hand in hand, Chen's face showed a trace of anger.
"Hehe, didn't she just hold her hand? Don't be so nervous, okay? Behind the screen in the hall, Wan Ziyu walked out.
"The third watch of my daughter is still outside in the middle of the night, and you don't care if you are a father, and you still protect it!" Chen glared at Wan Ziyu angrily.
"She's so old, how can she care? Is she locked up at home all day!"
"Too lazy to talk to you. By the way, you also heard Xiao Zhao's words, what do you think?" asked Chen.
"The method is feasible, but it is too vicious, and once the mob gets out of control, Xu Jiaqiao ...... Hey......" Wan Ziyu shook his head and sighed.
"There is no choice now. Chen's brows furrowed.
"Hehe, every time you don't have a choice, Xiao Zhao has found a choice for you. ”
"Hmph, no matter how strong I am, I'm just a woman, thinking about this small family all day long, where are you men far-sighted. Besides, it's not like you can't think of a way!"
"Okay, okay, do we still have to fight in the nest and we can't succeed! This Zhao Yuan is really ruthless, bold and reckless, and does things by unscrupulous means. However, this method is indeed good, not only to tide over the difficulties for the Wan family, but also to hit the Ma family's big trouble by the way. ”
"Then it's decided. Chen gritted his teeth and said.
"Our Ma family has done its duty, so be it. This matter can't leak out, or I'll do it myself. Wan Ziyu nodded helplessly.
"Well, be careful. ”
"Hehe, just inciting a mob. ”
"Yes, the husband is a cultivator, and he is just dealing with a group of foolish people. Chen smiled.
"Without further ado, I'll go now. ”
"Change your clothes, you are like this, who will treat you as a disaster victim. ”
"Hmm. ”
"By the way, where did Ling'er's long sword come from?"
She said she found it in Xiaoyang Mountain. ”
"It's strange, she has been wandering around Xiaoyang Mountain for a few years, why was he suddenly found ......"
......
"Ling'er, your mother won't believe you. Back in the room, Zhao Yuan immediately said.
"Ah...... That ...... What can I do then?" Wan Ling'er suddenly panicked.
"What are you worried about?" Zhao Yuan frowned and looked at Wan Ling'er.
"In the middle of the night, one of my daughters' family was with a man, and my mother would definitely not let me go. Wan Ling'er said with a sad face.
"This is also ......"
"No, I need to go to sleep. Wan Linger panicked and didn't have the heart to say more.
"Hmmm......"
Watching Wan Ling'er leave in a hurry, Zhao Yuan felt a trace of amazement inexplicably rise in his heart.
The next day, Xujiaqiao was calm, but in secret, it was turbulent and full of dangers.
The Ma family has colluded with some large grain growers in Xujiaqiao, and colluded with the Xiao family to buy grain on a large scale and hoard it. In fact, the Ma family is not only to attack Wanjia, but also to take the opportunity to make a fortune.
Now that the famine is spreading in the Great Qin Empire, the price of grain in some large cities has skyrocketed, and as long as the purchased grain is transported to the big cities, it will be several times or even dozens of times the profit.
A great man once said that if there is 100% profit, the capitalists will take risks, if there is 200% profit, the capitalists will defy the law, and if there is 300% profit, then the capitalists will trample on everything in the world.
Under the temptation of huge profits, the Ma family has embarked on a road of no return.
Just when the Ma family was racking their brains and thinking about how to transport the grain out of the city, Wan Ziyu had already flown to a nearby town, Majia Lane, which was much smaller than Xujiaqiao, with a permanent population of less than 30,000.
Thousands of mobs ransacked Majia Lane.
Wan Ziyu searched for hundreds of kilometers and found several mobs with more than 10,000 people, because there were too many people to control, Wan Ziyu gave up after the most reluctance.
After searching for a day, Wan Ziyu found this moderately sized mob in Majia Lane, with a number of about 4,000.
When Wan Ziyu arrived at Majia Lane, the ransack of Majia Lane was nearing the end, and the unscrupulous mob burned, killed, plundered, and drank happily in Majia Lane.
Wan Ziyu joined the mob and began to spread rumors that the officers and soldiers were chasing and intercepting in three directions, and the only way out was in the direction of Xujiaqiao......
......
That night, Zhao Yuan, who was tired all day, slept on the bed, but he couldn't sleep over and over again.
Zhao Yuan did not close the door.
It's only been a few days, and he actually has a vague hint of anticipation, looking forward to the moment when Wan Ling'er appears.
However, he knew that Wan Ling'er would not come today, because he would not have diarrhea today.
Little by little, time passed.
It's only nine o'clock in the evening, and there are still five hours before two o'clock in the morning, and although Zhao Yuan knows that Wan Ling'er will not come back, he still habitually waits for this time to come.
The bored Zhao Yuan sat cross-legged on the bed, and inexplicably, he thought of the first cultivation in "Ten Thousand Enemies".
The first type of "Brute Force Realm" in "Ten Thousand Enemies" has such a cultivation posture to exercise the toughness of muscles.
Zhao Yuan had long memorized the secret of cultivating the truth of "Ten Thousand Enemies", but he had been hesitant to cultivate or not, after all, this secret had been widely circulated, and if it worked, it would have been a sensation a long time ago.
Actually, whether it has any effect Zhao Yuan is not very worried, he is completely a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and the most important thing is that he is afraid of being unsafe.
Legend has it that there are many cases of disability and death due to cultivation.
Now, Zhao Yuan couldn't resist the temptation to start trying to cultivate. He firmly believed that if the cultivation secret was useless, the cultivator named Yun Ke would never be so careful to keep the secret secret in a wooden box.
