In the Zhong family's mansion, in the inner courtyard, more than a dozen shopkeepers under the Zhong family gathered again after an interval of several hours.
"The head of the family, now there are several grain shops in the city as if they have said it, and at the same time the price of grain has been reduced to sixty yuan, which is lower than the official grain price given by His Majesty, which is almost half of the usual price, if we also sell at this price, my Zhong family's grain shop in Chang'an will not only not make money this time, but also lose a lot, you see" A shopkeeper looked at Zhong Xuan with a bitter face.
In this operation, the Zhong family took the lead, and naturally wanted to give up some of the benefits to these grain merchants who joined in a sweetness, so the Zhong family's grain price was set at 750 yuan in the past, which could be regarded as taking care of their business in disguise.
Unexpectedly, these people made enough money on their own, and when they saw that the situation was not right, they immediately turned their faces, which made the faces of several shopkeepers not look good.
"Okay" Zhong Miao slowly raised his head, a touch of loss flashed in his eyes, and then he applauded and laughed: "Haha good" "Master, you are" Several shopkeepers looked at each other and looked at Zhong Xuan in puzzlement.
"Hide from the sky and the sea, bluff, deliberately expose flaws for the minister to notice, and let the minister think he sees through."
Zhong Xuan shook his head and sighed a little: "I'm afraid that Your Majesty didn't want to hide it from me at all, what he wants is just this situation." ” "This" A shopkeeper looked at Zhong Xuan carefully: "Dare to ask the head of the family, what is the power" "Potential" Zhong Xuan looked at several shopkeepers: "As you can see, even if we don't change the price, but those traders can't sit still, even if they have already received our benefits, it's the same, seeing that the situation is not right, they will not hesitate to give up their commitment to us, businessmen are profit-seeking, Your Majesty is to see this clearly, even if we can understand that Your Majesty is just bluffing, but he just needs to make those little people feel that the general trend has gone, it is enough, whether we see through it or not, it doesn't matter at all, this is a plan, good" "Then are those vendors" A shopkeeper looked at Zhong Xuan with some unwillingness, if it weren't for these vendors who defected, they wouldn't have lost so badly, and Liu Xie broke the situation without having a chance to fight back.
"Your Majesty disdains to oppress people with power, how can we break the rules of the family" Zhong Xuan shook his head and said proudly: "Wait, there is no need to raise the price of food, this time we will lose not only money, but also people's hearts, how much can be saved, how much can be saved." ” Hoarding Juqi, the average big family rarely does this kind of thing for the sake of their own reputation, and this time it is also for the sake of the imperial power, so they do such things, but the final result is to fulfill Liu Xie's reputation.
The Zhong family is a prestigious family, and the industry is all over the world, and Chang'an, as one of the two major capitals of the Han Dynasty, has irreplaceable value in other places in terms of political significance and economic significance.
"There is no need to mention this matter."
Zhong Xuan waved his hand and motioned for everyone to stand back.
After the shopkeepers saluted respectfully, they all withdrew.
The news kept coming, Liu Xie did not return to the palace, just sat in a grain store, looking at the information coming from everywhere, almost in an hour, the grain shops in the entire Chang'an City have pressed the grain price to the lowest, and the food crisis in Chang'an and even Guanzhong has finally come to a successful end.
"Your Majesty, most of the people prefer to go to other shops to buy grain, but no one buys our grain."
Zhen Yao came to Liu Xie's side and bowed.
"Uncle Huan is really ready to sell all my family money" Liu Xie stretched, looked at Zhen Yao with a smile and said, "How much grain and grass has been sold these days, have you ever calculated it." ” "Back to Your Majesty, there have been results, since three days ago, until now, the 200,000 stone grain and grass provided by Your Majesty have been successively transported into the city in the name of the major families, so far, a total of about 30,000 stone of grain and grass has been sold."
Zhen Yao bowed and said. "30,000 stones, this is still a case of purchase restrictions, but fortunately those people are shaken, otherwise, these 200,000 stones of grain and grass may not be able to survive even a month."
Liu Xie shook his head and said: "Fengxiao's trick of discord is really very good."
In addition to the general framework of this strategy at the beginning, Liu Xie proposed it, how to operate after that, how to put psychological pressure on the other party, almost all of them were planned by Guo Jia, and Liu Xie's task was to stabilize the situation in Chang'an.
Zhen Yao didn't speak, at present, he is still a captive, and it was also in Chang'an that Zhen Yao pinched his sweat a little, and during the time he spent with Lu Bu, he really didn't feel very comfortable, especially every time Lu Bu saw their faces sink instantly, it was a blow to his heart.
"Uncle Huan, Chang'an was able to survive the catastrophe this time, and the Zhen family also calculated its strength, I don't know if there is a plan next" Liu Xie looked at the situation outside the building and asked seemingly casually.
Here it comes From the day he arrived in Chang'an, Zhen Yao knew that there would be such a day, he never doubted the attraction of the Zhen family, a wealthy family and a wealthy family of hundreds of millions of dollars, to all the princes and even the Son of Heaven, especially now that the Zhen family is up and down, except for the second brother Zhen Yan, almost the whole family was packed and sent to Chang'an by Lu Bu, and now if you want to return to Jizhou, it is really difficult.
"If you can return to your roots, it is naturally good, of course, if Your Majesty has any orders, the Zhen family will not dare to disobey."
Zhen Yao said tentatively.
After all, the roots of the Zhen family are in Jizhou, and if they can return to Jizhou, it is naturally the best choice.
"Go back to Jizhou" Liu Xie shook his head, and his eyes fell on Zhen Yao: "This time to help me stabilize the economy of Chang'an, presumably Yuan Benchu will get the news soon, if you don't go back to Jizhou, Zhen Yan may still be able to keep your Zhen family's hundreds of millions of family businesses, but if you go back, it will give Yuan Benchu an excuse to move you, this, Shu Huan has ever thought that after all, hundreds of millions of family fortunes, even I look at it, and I am greedy." ” Zhen Yao's forehead instantly shed a few drops of sweat, before, he really hadn't thought about this.
"I don't know what Your Majesty means" Zhen Yao was a little panicked, and looked at Liu Xie in disbelief, with Zhen Yao's understanding of Yuan Shao, it was really possible to do this.
"What I mean" Liu Xie stood up and said leisurely: "What I mean is that if the wealth is gone, you can make it again, but if the person is gone, there will be nothing." ” "What grievances do you have with Wenhou, I don't want to ask more, but since you have come to Chang'an, why not think about the future, blessings and misfortunes depend on it, misfortunes and blessings lurk, I have the heart to revitalize commerce, restart the Silk Road, the Zhen family has connections that I don't even have, and can trade with other countries, even if you stay in Jizhou, the Zhen family is just a wealthy businessman, but staying here is not an opportunity for the Zhen family to go further."
Liu Xie looked at Zhen Yao and smiled.
"This" Zhen Yao was in a hurry, and for a while, he didn't know how to choose.
"Don't be in a hurry, I'm patient and have plenty of time."
Liu Xie walked towards the door, and the voice came from afar: "I have figured it out, but I can go to the palace to report to the court captain, and I will meet you, if you can't figure it out, stay in Chang'an and think about it slowly, and wait until the day you figure it out." ” When Zhen Yao heard this, he looked at Liu Xie's back in a daze, and for a while, he didn't react, and it wasn't until Liu Xie's figure had appeared on the street that Zhen Yao reacted.
If you can't figure it out, stay in Chang'an and think slowly, that is to say, there are only two ways left for the Zhen family, the first is to stay in Chang'an to assist Liu Xie; Second, stay in Chang'an, think hard behind closed doors, and figure out to assist Liu Xie.
Zhen Yao really wanted to stop Liu Xie and ask what the difference between the two roads was However, Liu Xie had already left with the guards, and Zhen Yao didn't dare to shout Liu Xie's name in the downtown like this, so he could only sit in his seat with a wry smile, stunned.
Knowing this, he shouldn't have listened to Xu Ziyuan's strategy to provoke Lu Bu for no reason, although Lu Bu is vicious, but at least people can know it, but His Majesty's ferocity is the kind that is silent, and it is impossible to prevent it.
Zhen Yao remembered that his father had said before that a person who looks vicious, no matter how vicious he is, is not really vicious, because you already know that he is vicious, so you will naturally subconsciously avoid him, and a really vicious person cannot be seen from his face.
At this moment, Zhen Yao seemed to understand the meaning of his father's words.
It's just that now that he knows this, what's the use of Xu Ziyuan harming people Walking on the way back to the palace, Liu Xie was in a good mood, solved the problem of food, and could be regarded as removing most of the depression that had been accumulated in his chest for many days, as for the rest, that is, the struggle above the court, although there was some trouble, but Guanzhong's vitality was preserved, and the rest of the things were easy to say.
As for the Zhen family, it is naturally impossible for Liu Xie to let them go, the wealth of the Zhen family is secondary, where the Zhen family really attracts Liu Xie, as Liu Xie said to Zhen Yao before, the connections established by the Zhen family in the grasslands and the Western Regions for generations are what Liu Xie lacks the most, as for the wealth of the Zhen family, hundreds of millions of family fortunes sound a lot, and even enough to support the princes all the way, but for a country, it is really a little less, there are these hidden connections of the Zhen family here, Liu Xie believes, With his insight into the times ahead of business and the resources at the disposal of the imperial court, as well as the connections of the Zhen family, he will definitely be able to accumulate two, three, or even more Zhen family wealth for the Han family in a short period of time as the original capital for the further development of the Han family.
"See Your Majesty."
On the side of the road, from time to time, there are people saluting Liu Xie, Liu Xie's appearance is no longer a secret in Chang'an, and people who have stayed in Chang'an for a period of time can basically recognize it.
When encountering these greetings, Liu Xie will also nod slightly, which is counted as a return gift.
There were many people around who watched from afar, but they didn't dare to get too close, which made Liu Xie sigh that if he wanted to pay a private visit to Weifu in the future, at least in this Chang'an City, it was impossible.
The surrounding crowd was a little crowded, and many people were squeezing in this direction, as if they wanted to see this son of heaven, while walking, Liu Xie's brows suddenly wrinkled slightly, and an uncomfortable feeling rose in his heart, a dangerous breath, he had experienced it countless times in the dream battlefield, and subconsciously shouted: "Escort" t1706231537:
