    Late at night - Zhen family - the meeting hall is brightly lit, as bright as day. Hundreds of family dead men, wearing armor and holding sharp knives, are guarding in all directions. No one is allowed to approach. Even on the roof of the lobby, there are people squatting secretly.  And in the meeting hall, an important meeting of life and death is underway!

    Sitting at the main seat in the lobby is a white-shirted scribe in his thirties, with regular features, elegant temperament, and a bookish look on his face. He is Zhen Yu, the eldest son of the Zhen family, and Zhen Mi's biological eldest brother.  Their uncle Zhen An is the number one chaebol in the world!

    The head of the family, Zhen An, is old and indifferent to fame and fortune. In recent years, he has lived in seclusion in a small courtyard and has no more involvement in world affairs. He himself has no heirs in his life, so he focuses on training his nephew Zhen Yu and taking charge of all family affairs!

    This Young Master Zhen has a gentle personality, is well-educated, a very kind and good person, and is also a person of little use. Therefore, he has always been the "Fifth Young Master" - Zhen Mi shows up and controls the operation of the business empire!

    However, after Zhen Mi got married, she has been living in Wuchou Hou Mansion, staying at home, caring for her husband and raising children, and her control over Yecheng has gradually declined. Otherwise, with the character of the "Fifth Young Master", she would never allow it.  The family is speculating and driving up food prices!

    "The Liang family came here with bad intentions. They donated food and grass and sold food at low prices. If they continue like this, we may lose all our money. Please come up with a countermeasure, sir!"

    "The Yuan family has fallen, and the Zhen family is the most powerful. How can we, a powerful family in Jizhou, let outsiders bully us? We must use thunderous means to show them some color!"

    There are more than twenty people sitting on the right side of the lobby, all of them are wealthy family heads and powerful businessmen in Jizhoueach of them is extremely wealthy and powerful, and they are also the masterminds behind this 'rice tide'!

    They originally planned to hoard food, drive up prices, and make a fortune from the national crisis, and then annex land, raise slaves, and expand the power of the Jizhou gentry!

    And then use this as a bargaining chip to gain more political benefits. At that time, they will enter the imperial court, collude with the Central Plains nobles, and control the military and political power of the imperial court!

    This is: the military expedition to the north, the political expedition to the south, the emperor is just a sign, just worship it high, the real people in charge of the country are the gentry and clan groups!

    No one thought that just when victory was in sight, the Jixian-Liang family suddenly took action and stabilized the price of food in one fell swoop. This made them very angry and scared!

    The gentry in Hebei are not monolithic. They are divided into two parts: one is the gentry in Hebei and Qingzhou. They occupy a prosperous land and have a long family history. They belong to the old gentry, and the Zhen family is one of the representatives!

    The second is the gentry from You and Bing states. They are remote and have a relatively shallow foundation. They are rising stars and are often looked down upon. And their leader is the Liang family!

    The two major gentry groups have been fighting openly and secretly for a long time. They have always been incompatible with each other. When the Yuan family was hegemonic, the government was located in Yecheng. It relied more on the Ji and Qing gentry and tried its best to suppress the You and Bing gentry.  Group has also deepened the contradiction between the two!

    Cao Jun¡¯s Northern Expedition, Hebei Province changed hands, the Liang family was jumping up and down, trying their best to please. Could it be that they colluded with Cao Ying to reverse the situation in one fell swoop? Then something bad would happen!

    "The Liang family has made a lot of money by selling livestock and brewing spirits. At best, they are just rich people. How can they compare with our Zhen family?"

    "Da Sima Xiao Yi is the husband of Fifth Sister and the son-in-law of our Zhen family. You can't turn your elbows outward and help outsiders deal with relatives, right?"

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    There are also dozens of people sitting on the left side of the hall, all descendants of the Zhen family. They all look arrogant. They were born into wealth and grew up in comfort. They are like birds in a cage. They have all the bad habits of the descendants of the aristocratic family.  , but not a drop of the ancestors¡¯ intelligence and wisdom remains!

    The direct descendants of the Zhen family have withered away, Zhen An is old, Zhen Yu is weak and incompetent, and Zhen Mi, who is really in charge, is a female and is not qualified to be the head of the family!

    Therefore, these descendants of the collateral line have become restless and have always wanted to seek more rights and even replace the position of the direct lineage. This time, they are the ones instigating the hoarding of food and driving up prices!

    I did not expect to be clumsy, and almost accompanied the blood, so I jumped up and down. I wanted to walk back the back door and support the relationship, and reverse the situation in front of me!

    "Prime Minister Cao is a wise man with great talent and great strategy. Since the Northern Expedition, he has conquered cities and territories with invincibility. He also has strict military discipline and has done nothing to harm the people. The people of Hebei have returned!"

    "The way of a gentleman is peace. You are from a well-known family and have a wealthy family. Why bother to offend the Prime Minister and make a grudge for a little profit?"As for the elders in Hebei, if you don't sell food at low prices and provide relief to the people, you can also gain a good reputation"

    The eldest son-in-law, Zhen Yu, does not like money or greed for power. He has always been aloof from the world. At this time, he is trying to persuade everyone not to offend the traitor in troubled times just for a small gain!

    I have to admit that there are five direct sons in the Zhen family, and the other four are all dead. Only the eldest son, Zhen Yu, is still alive. This has a lot to do with his weak character. Oogway is timid, cowardly, quiet, and restless.  When danger comes, it shrinks its head. It looks very hopeless, but it lives longer than other animals!

    "My eldest son, what you said is wrong. The struggle for power is life and death. If we take a step back, the other side will take a step forward. Isn't it necessary to give up the power in our hands?"

    The Zhen family is the number one plutocrat in the world and must not lose to the Liang family. If the eldest son is not talented enough, why not abdicate in favor of someone more talented? The Zhen family has many talented and enterprising heroes!  "

    As soon as Zhen Yu¡¯s words came out, they aroused strong opposition, especially from a group of sideline disciples, waving their fists and shouting loudly, in a completely ¡®forcing the palace¡¯ attitude!

    If they weren¡¯t afraid of the prestige of the family leader, Zhen An, and the shrewdness of the fifth son, Zhen Mi, they would have really usurped power. Of course, the person they feared the most was the ghost-faced Xiao Lang!

    Zhen Fei, a famous talent in the family, was ruined and miserable just because she offended Xiao Yi. Now she is still receiving customers in a brothel. She submits to men every night. Thinking about it makes her skin crawl. Who is not afraid?  Woolen cloth?

    "If you have something to say, let's talk. We are all brothers of the same race. Why are we so hard on each other? If something unexpected happens, who will clean up the mess?"

    Zhen Yu was originally a useless person, but under the coercion of everyone, he had to reluctantly agree. After everyone discussed, they made three countermeasures:

    First, if we are not close to each other, we immediately write to Zhen Mi, telling her about the difficulties faced by the Zhen family, and asking her to blow her pillow. For the sake of her closest relatives, she will not sit idly by and ignore it!

    Zhen Yu once again, as his uncle, went to negotiate with Xiao Yi, luring him with benefits and motivating him with affection, so that he could use his power to secretly support the Zhen family and raise the price of food in Yecheng again. It was best to alienate him.  The Liang family, as well as the You and Bing gentry groups!

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Second, by changing the situation, each family spends all their money and sends people disguised as ordinary people to secretly buy the Liang family's food. It is best not to leave a grain of rice!

    At that time, all the food in Yecheng fell into the hands of the Ji and Qing clans again. You can set whatever price you want, so you can get back the previous losses!

    You can also use food as a bargaining chip to threaten the Cao Ying Group in exchange for some official positions with real power. Due to the war, there are a lot of official positions in the three states of Hebei, Qing, and Bing being vacant!

    Third, the grain in the hands of the Liang family was mostly purchased from the southern states. Those places were relatively peaceful, and a bucket of rice only cost three or four hundred yuan. It was still profitable to transport it to Yecheng and sell it for a thousand yuan!

    The Zhen family also sent a caravan to purchase in Jingzhou, Jiangdong, and Yizhou. As long as the price was set a little higher, the grain could be snatched away. The Liang family couldn't get the grain, so they couldn't make waves. They took advantage of this opportunity.  , also visit the southern princes!

    After more than ten years of melee, the princes gradually disappeared, and the world gradually returned to unity. Now among the remaining princes, Cao Cao is the only one who dominates the Central Plains. Sun Quan, Liu Biao, and Liu Zhang are connected end to end and separated in the Yangtze River Basin. Who will fall in the end?  Is it really hard to say?

    In history, there are many cases where the weak defeated the strong and the small swallowed up the big. Liu Bang and Xiang Yu are the best examples!

    As the saying goes: There are three cunning rabbits in the cave. The Zhen family¡¯s plan is to ostensibly join the Cao family and strive to be a founding hero. They also maintain good relations with Jiangdong, Jingzhou and Yizhou in private. If there is a shocking reversal, there is room for retreat, right?

    ?¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The matter was decided upon, and action began the next day. The major families sent people with real money and silver to secretly purchase the Liang family¡¯s grain, thereby monopolizing the grain market in Hebei!

    The matter of purchasing in the south was left to dozens of descendants of the Zhen family. This was a good job. Not only did they falsely report prices and take advantage of the opportunity to commit corruption, but they also got a taste of the beauties from the south of the Yangtze River, Wu Chu Jiao'e, the beauties from Shu  But it is famous far and wide!

    At the same time, under the pressure of everyone, Zhen Yu reluctantly went to visit the Grand Sima Xiao Yi. He had long heard that this brother-in-law was very domineering!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)ww.hlnovel.com
