Chapter 60 The Second Invitation to the Xunzhou Family

Just as Zhang Hu was about to leave, Zhang Yuan suddenly remembered something and called Zhang Hu to death.

"Zhang Hu, there is no abnormal movement among the people I asked you to stare at, right?"

As early as when Tang Shuyu died in battle, Zhang Yuan felt something was wrong, so there was no need for Mo Zizai to remind him that he had sent someone to secretly monitor the actions of the generals.

"I'm not yet, and I'm doing it very normally."

"Yeah, keep a close eye."

Zhang Yuan looked a little serious and said, "After we kill these aristocratic families, the food and salary should be solved, and they will definitely take action at that time."

"It shouldn't be that?"

Zhang Hu hesitated a little, "After all, if we lose, the Great Zhou may be in danger of overturning. They shouldn't be so unwise, right?"

"If those of them cared about the Great Zhou, they would not have attacked Tang Shuyu at the beginning."

Zhang Yuan snorted coldly, full of disdain for those aristocratic families, "Now, that kid Mo Zizai is taking action in the capital. Although he doesn't know what he has to rely on, the aristocratic family will definitely not watch him make trouble."

"At that time, the aristocratic family will either attack him or attack us, and they will definitely choose a breakthrough."

"But that kid has no taboos in the capital, and there is also the old guy Qiu Wuping who is secretly protecting him, so no matter how you look at it, it's easy for us to bully."

"This...I understand."

Zhang Hu nodded fiercely and decided in his heart that after he returned, he would increase the monitoring level of these generals by several levels so as not to have any accidents.

...

The place where Zhang Yuan invited everyone this time was replaced with a very spacious villa. Those families and people from the chamber of commerce rushed over one after another, and soon filled the villa.

President Zhu kept turning two iron gills in his hand. Seeing that Zhang Yuan had not arrived yet, he moved the stool slightly, approached Feng You before he could point it and then asked, "Duke Feng, Zhang Yuan said that the court paid 4 million taels of silver. Is this true?"

"President Zhu is in business. Isn't the news more sensitive than old man?"

Feng Youcai was obviously in a bad mood. He replied directly to President Zhu's temptation: "I'm afraid President Zhu knows how the four million taels came about."

Listening to Feng Youcai's not very friendly tone, President Zhu didn't mind. After all, Feng Youcai has always been the way of the Ministry of Revenue. Feng Youcai, the minister who died in the Ministry of Revenue this time, should have something to do with him, and it is also necessary to be in a bad mood.

To put it bluntly, there may be many of the four million taels of miles that were contributed by Feng Youcai, so it would be strange if he could be in a good mood.

"Mr. Feng, it's not that Zhu intended to test it. It's really a bit too much to hear about this."

President Zhu's eyes, whose fat flesh was squeezed by only a little left, shone with shimmering light, and he said carefully: "I have never heard of such an excessive thing since the opening of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"That child Mo Zizai, who is self-reliant and does not take the laws of the court seriously at all is a major disaster for the court."

"The empress did nothing. She saw that the child was beyond the rules of cholera but was not punished at all. Sooner or later, such a great Zhou would be in their hands!"

"Um?"

Feng Youcai, who had not taken President Zhu's words to heart, heard this, and suddenly moved his heart slightly. He secretly looked up and observed the fat man in front of him who looked like a nouveau riche, and said quietly: "What do you want to say when President Zhu slander the court so much?"

President Zhu carefully observed the surroundings, and saw that no one was paying attention to this place. Then he moved the stool closer to Feng Youcai's place, and then said in an extremely subtle voice: "I wonder, has Mr. Feng sent someone to contact the people there?"

"there?"

Feng Youcai was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized that what President Zhu said was supposed to be a member of the Three Kingdoms Alliance. He glanced at President Zhu slightly, his heart full of contempt.

The reason for contempt is not because President Zhu wants to treason and surrender to the enemy, but because President Zhu's situation is not clear, it is not very wise. No wonder he can only be the president of a chamber of commerce.

People from aristocratic families like them will never take action easily until the last moment. Although they get less rewards, their victory lies in stability and low risks. This is the way for aristocratic families to survive for a long time.

However, Feng You thought for a moment, and felt that the conditions of the Three Kingdoms coalition were good, so he lowered his voice and asked, "What do you say over there?"

Seeing that Feng Youcai did not directly refuse, the head of the Zhu family knew that there was great potential for this matter, so he whispered: "As Duke Feng, if Duke Feng has the intention, he can leave a position as the governor of Feng."

"Mr. Magistrate?"

Feng Youcai nodded slightly. The sincerity of the Three Kingdoms coalition forces is quite good. In addition to the county magistrate, the highest status of the county magistrate and the county magistrate. Among them, the county magistrate is in charge of government affairs and the county magistrate is in charge of military affairs. They can be regarded as the second-in-commander of the county.

So Feng Youcai was a little moved by this position, but he did not show it, but said lightly: "Thank you, President Zhu, I understand."

"Mr. Feng, don't be polite, just join the group to keep warm."

When President Zhu heard that Feng You did not explicitly refuse, he immediately knew that the matter was stable. He immediately stopped talking, but asked about Zhang Yuan’s purpose of asking them for this time.

"Mr. Feng, the marquis is not short of money anymore. I am asking me to come here this time, because I want to ask me for some food and grass. What do you think about this?"

President Zhu's words were not covered. After hearing this, the people in the yard stopped talking and turned their attention to Feng Youcai.

As the largest aristocratic family head in Xunyang City, his attitude can largely determine how these people should deal with this matter.

"This matter is really powerless."

Feng Youcai glanced at the person who was watching him and said slowly: "Last time when the Marquis came to ask, I said that there was no surplus grain at home. Did President Zhu think I was lying?"

"Just this morning, I received a message from the capital that the country is in trouble and we should help us all, but if we are in trouble, we must do our best."

Hearing the four words "doing within one's ability", everyone instantly understood what Feng Youcai meant.

Zhang Yuan didn’t know what Feng Youcai’s family background is, so it’s nonsense that they are, and they don’t have any surplus food. If you do what you can, it’s nonsense.

It was clearly because some people in the court didn't want Zhang Yuan to be happy, or wanted to give the unruly King Yi to a look, so that he could not buy food and grass sometimes even if he had money.

However, everyone had no intention of objecting to this matter, because according to the provisions of stabilizing grain prices during the war, even if Zhang Yuan bought grain and grass, he would not pay too high prices.

And now that the grain prices are so high, if they buy the food and grass in their hands at a fair price, they will definitely not be happy.

In addition, Feng Youcai has said that someone in the capital has spoken. In this case, they will naturally join forces to resist Zhang Yuan.
