"What's so strange about no money, which businessman did you see putting money at home?" Wan Ling'er pinched Zhao Yuan.

"Yes...... It seems that I miscalculated, and your business model is like a snowball, and it doesn't need much cash to stay afloat. It's not the same now, with social unrest, more and more people needing a lot of cash. It seems that it won't last long, and Wanjia will go bankrupt. ”

"Ah...... Go belly up...... No, we have a lot of money. Wan Ling'er looked panicked.

"This is a very complicated issue, and it can't be said to be bankruptcy, it is a collapse, if you think about it, if Wanjia can't maintain the current situation, it will definitely cause riots and panic, and those who are relieved will spread their anger to Wanjia...... No, I have to go see your mother. ”

"See my mother?"

"Yes, go now. ”

"At this time, my mother should be asleep......"

"If I were your mother, I wouldn't be able to sleep. ”

"Are you feeling better?"

"It's better. ”

"Alright, let's go. ”

Wan Ling'er didn't say a word, got out of bed, lifted the long sword beside the bed, dragged Zhao Yuan up, and flew with the sword without stepping on it, and flew all the way to the West Courtyard.

The main hall of the West Courtyard was indeed lit up.

"Knock knock...... Wan Ling'er didn't think about it, pressed the flying sword, and knocked on the door when it landed.

"Who?"

"It's ...... me"

Wan Ling'er glanced at Zhao Yuan, only to see Zhao Yuan looking at her with a stupid face, and suddenly understood.

"What to do, what to do...... I was in too much of a hurry just now, so I brought you over, I'm dead, I'm dead, if my mother sees this three watches and I'm with you in the middle of the night, I'll die...... It's all you, it's all you...... You don't remind me either...... Okay, okay, we're all done, we're all doomed, we're going to die together......" Wan Ling'er was as anxious as ants on a hot pot.

"Grandma, you are too fast, I was dragged up by you, I was so painful that I couldn't speak, and I arrived at this door in a blink of an eye. Zhao Yuan looked down at his bare feet and said with a sad face.

From the East Courtyard to the West Courtyard, it was only a few hundred meters, and Wan Ling'er's Ice Divine Sword was much faster than the ink-colored small sword, almost in the blink of an eye, Zhao Yuan didn't have time to react at all.

"What can I do about this......

"Ga ......" Just when Wan Ling'er was crazy, the door was opened.

"Ling'er, this midnight three watches, you come...... Why are you going to be together?" Chen saw Zhao Yuan, his face changed dramatically, and he said sharply.

"Ah...... I...... I...... I heard that my mother had a problem, and I caught this guy from the bed overnight to solve my mother's problems, and you see, he didn't even have time to put on his shoes!"

Wan Ling'er stammered, suddenly became anxious, waved the long sword in his hand, and said with a righteous face.

"Really?" Chen glanced at Zhao Yuan's bare feet with a suspicious expression.

Fortunately, Zhao Yuan also reacted immediately, pretending to be afraid and trembling. Of course, Zhao Yuan himself has not fully recovered, and with his bare feet, he is really not exactly pretending.

"Get in!" Wan Ling'er walked around Zhao Yuan's back and kicked Zhao Yuan's ass.

"Ling'er, be polite. ”

"Hmph, you can't be polite to this kind of subordinate. The long sword in Wan Ling'er's hand pulled out a formidable sword aura in the air, and said with a murderous aura.

"Xiao Zhao, sit down, there is a charcoal stove here. Ling'er, go and help Xiao Zhao get a pair of shoes. ”

"Uh-huh. Zhao Yuan, if you don't come up with a way for my mother, don't think about taking half a step out of our family!" Wan Ling'er turned her back to her mother, and after squeezing her eyebrows at Zhao Yuan, she carried a long sword and went inside to get her shoes.

"Zhao Yuan, do you have a way?"

"Nope. Zhao Yuan's feet were shivering from the cold, and he secretly sighed that he was not afraid of the cold when he wore straw sandals, but now he is shivering from the cold when he doesn't wear shoes for a while. This person is really used to it.

"Then what are you doing here?" Chen snorted coldly.

"The young lady forced me with a sword. ”

"Really?"

"Yes, ma'am. Looking at Chen's perceptive eyes, Zhao Yuan's heart was shocked, obviously, Chen didn't believe in Ling'er's fooling.

"Anyway, you have to think of a way first. Chen didn't seem to want to get to the bottom of it, and after taking a deep look at Zhao Yuan, he said lightly.

"Yes, ma'am. ”

There was silence in the hall.

After a while, Wan Ling'er took a pair of socks and carried a pair of cotton shoes in front of Zhao Yuan.

Chen saw that the shoes Wan Linger was holding were actually a new pair of shoes, and vaguely remembered that these shoes were made for Wan Ziyu, because they were small, they had been left there.

Obviously, Wan Linger knew the size of Zhao Yuan's feet, otherwise, she would never deliberately give Zhao Yuan a pair of new shoes in small size.

"Dead girl!"

Chen scolded secretly, but he remained silent, looking at Wan Ling'er coldly, watching Wan Ling'er's movements, he actually wanted to help Zhao Yuan put on shoes.

"Put on the shoes quickly, hurry up and find a way for my mother!" Wan Ling'er, who was going to put shoes on Zhao Yuan, suddenly woke up, stopped her body stiffly, and sat honestly on the side without making a sound, obviously, she also noticed that her mother's expression was not good.

"Yes, yes, the villain is trying to figure it out. ”

Zhao Yuan hurriedly put on his shoes and socks, and suddenly felt much warmer, without that feeling of torment.

The villain doesn't know what kind of difficulties Mrs. Lu Dao has encountered, and Mrs. must tell the villain the source of the matter, so that the villain can come up with a way according to local conditions. ”

"Hmm. Chen cleared his throat, "At present, there is a problem with Wanjia's liquidity, of course, this is not a key problem, the problem is that several other large families in Xujiaqiao are falling into the well of Wanjiaqiao, they are working together to suppress the market price of ordinary goods, and then hoard grain and raise the price of grain." Now, Wanjia's action to purchase grain has met with great resistance...... In fact, not only food, but also the prices of winter clothes, bedding, coal and other materials are soaring, and these things are some wintering necessities, although Wanjia has some inventory, but it is impossible to hold on to ......"

"Excuse me, how long can the food of thousands of families be eaten?"

"Around March, however, if the number of victims continues to increase, things will be in trouble. ”

"Enough food, ma'am. ”

"Is that enough?" Chen was stunned.

"Yes, that's enough, 10,000 families' food is enough to support only one month. ”

"And what about the remaining months?"

"When the time comes, it will be natural that someone will share the responsibility for Wanjia. ”

"To be clear. Chen frowned.

"Madam, I don't know if there is a leader in hoarding food and raising food prices this time?"

"Yes, the Ma family is the leader, it is said that the Xiao family provides funds for the Ma family, while some other big families are sitting on the ground, hoping that the ten thousand families will go bankrupt and they will get a piece of the pie. ”

"Then, it's very simple, let the Ma family fall. ”

"Let the Ma family fall!" Chen smiled lightly: "Our Wan family and the Ma family have always been at odds, everyone wants to bring down the other party, the last time they snapped up the salt, the mastermind behind the scenes was the Ma family." However, in the past few decades, everyone has been helpless against the other party, and the old body really can't think of any way for you to make the Ma family fall suddenly. ”

"Now there are only a few days before the Chinese New Year, the weather is getting colder and colder, and the number of victims in Xujiaqiao has also soared in the past few days, which shows that the days outside have become more and more difficult. The villain guessed that in the next few days, a large number of mobs will definitely gather to make trouble, and in the trouble, there will naturally be officers and soldiers to suppress it, and the suppression will inevitably make some mobs run ......around."

"And then?" Chen stared at Zhao Yuan quietly.

"If a group of mobs suddenly flow to Xujiaqiao, what does Madam think will happen?"

"Xiao Zhao, I don't have the ability to let a group of mobs listen to Wan Jia. ”

"Madam, since the Ma family is unkind and unjust, then the Wan family should not be a gentleman. When the time comes, as long as the villain is allowed to blend in with the victims and say a few times that the Ma family has food, the hungry mob will naturally go to the Ma family, and there is no need for the lady to worry about it. ”

"But......" Chen's face showed hesitation.

"Madam, if the Ma family was behind the last rush to buy salt, then it is enough to show that the Ma family is short-sighted and mercenary, and must not be merciful to this kind of family. ”

"What if those mobs don't go to Ma's house and attack Wanjia instead?"

"Madam, you have forgotten, we have thousands of victims, as long as we put our eyes and ears along the way, once the mob comes, we will prepare for defense in advance, and we can inform the villagers of Xujiaqiao. ”

"Yes, but when the mob comes to Xujiaqiao, it will inevitably be ruined......
