Chapter 433 Thunder Means (3)
After all, he was still a little greedy, and the Fu family sighed. He always felt that Zhao Jingyun was not scaring everyone, but in the face of huge benefits, he was reluctant to give up. Since the last time the military ration was found to be involved in the Fu family, the huge Fu family had already lost money.
Land is the foundation, not just about growing food. Thinking of the interests, he finally endured this tone. No matter what, they pretended to have taken out the grain and some of the goods. As long as everyone insisted, they were afraid that the Cao Gang would not be able to go out to buy goods, even King Jingyue would not be able to deal with him. Besides, it was not that their Fu family was disgusted with the opening of land.
To put it even worse, Zhao Jingyun is just a prince, and there is an emperor on it. Zhao Jingyun can't go beyond the emperor, their Fu family is loyal to the emperor!
Thinking of this, his attitude finally became firm.
On that day, the people of Pingyang City were all happy, and the large grain-selling households were praised by the people. Many merchants had sold out all the goods that were originally accumulated. This good thing that both gained fame and profit made the merchants overjoyed, which was a happy thing.
Many people watched Zhao Jingyun, but after one day, the government and the royal palace did not send anyone to trouble the owner of the shop. Some people thought that King Jingyue was just saying harsh words because he was angry.
"Dad, you are right, and you won't lose money. Although you won't make more money this time, you will gain fame and profit, and it will only benefit our shop in the future. I wish those aristocratic families would continue to close the shops. We can't compete with them in normal times. They can also give us a breath." The owner of a shop took stock of the goods at night, and his son couldn't help but praise his father.
"What do you know? There is only money in your eyes. If you fall into money, you don't know how to use your brain more." My father glared at him with a grudge.
"Don't we businessmen just want to make more money?"
"Making money is important, but family life is even more important." The old man breathed a sigh of relief, "I stay at home honestly at night, look at it, the sky in Pingyang City is about to change."
"ah?!"
.........
Zhao Jingyun never fired a gun. On that night, the sleeping people heard noise outside, followed by horse hooves and weapons fighting, and even people shouted and scolded. The bold man got up, took the ladder and looked out secretly from the wall. He saw fires rising in many places in the city, and the official riding horse ran one after another.
"The government arrests the unscrupulous businessmen who encircle the bandits, so that ordinary people should not go out to avoid being injured by accident." The yamen runner shouted loudly as he knocked on the gong.
The people who heard the sound were even more afraid to move. There were timid families who even found something to stand behind the door, fearing that the bandits would break into the yard.
The young child was awakened and was so scared that he wanted to cry, and was also coaxed by his family.
"Master, it's not good. The granary in the north of the city was found by the government and all the disciples in the clan who were in charge of the granary were suppressed." A disciple of the Xue family stumbled into the yard and cried.
When Xue Han heard the sound, he casually put on his clothes and pulled his cotton shoes and came out.
When he heard that Zhao Jingyun was found in the north, and that the children guarding the granary in the clan were killed, he immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Xue Han's two sons came after hearing the news. Seeing this, they hurried over to support him.
"father."
"Dad, you have to hold on."
"Zhao Jingyun, you are so cruel." Xue Han's eyes ejaculated with anger.
"Dad, don't worry about the granary in the north for now. I'm worried about the granary in the clan. If it doesn't work, I have to go over and take a look." The eldest son of the Xue family was trained as the next heir, and he cared about the affairs in the clan more than anyone else.
"Stop." Xue Han bit the tip of his tongue before trying to calm himself down, "Let others go."
He had a premonition that the situation in the clan might not be very good.
"Dad, I'm not at ease when others come over. I have to go over and see it myself before I can calm down. In the clan..."
Xue Han raised his hand and the eldest son stopped talking immediately.
At this point, they have already had some soldiers, and I wonder if Zhao Jingyun has installed people in the mansion.
The Xue family smelled the news from the beginning of the New Year. Zhao Jingyun tried to encourage farmers to open up land. There was no constitution at that time. The yamen did not pay attention to it. It was not easy to issue an order until it was truly implemented.
Country farmers have always followed the crowd. Without seeing the interests with their own eyes, many people will not be willing to take the initiative to do it. All the noble families have seen inappropriate things in the notices, and they have always paid attention to the movements of the people.
Later they found that the government only encouraged farmers to open up land, and there was no rules. Many aristocratic families were a little relieved. The Xue family was a big family and thought further than others. King Jingyue and the princess went to the capital. No one could tell what happened after they came back. At this moment, he received a secret letter from King Chen Qing, asking him to stockpile a large amount of grain for spare.
The Xue family alone could not achieve their goal. Xue Han and the clan leader were so worried that their hair almost turned white. They could not make a big fuss to collect grain. It was not easy to buy grain in winter, so everyone hoped that the little food in their hands would survive the winter and survive the spring.
Fortunately, after King Chen Qing gave them an order, he did not ignore anything. He pointed out the way for the Xue family, which was to join forces with the Cao Gang.
Xue Han wanted to carry forward the family, but he looked down on the Cao Gang. No matter how powerful the Cao Gang is, it is still a bandit. As a noble family, he didn't want to join forces with the Cao Gang at all.
But the situation was pressing, and he and the clan leader were worried that Pingyang City would change after King Jingyue returned from the capital. After repeated measurements, Xue Han finally made up his mind and prepared to do a big shot.
The so-called big-time vote is not to fight against Zhao Jingyun with swords, but to force the people to resent Zhao Jingyun by disturbing the market. The public resentment has accumulated to a certain extent, and those who are superior may not feel good.
Therefore, even if there is no order to open up the land, the Xue family will cause trouble.
Later, the Cao Gang sent people to contact Xue Han, and Xue Han and Cao Gang decided to divide the labor. The Xue family was responsible for contacting the nobles and merchants in Pingyang City to hoard goods together, while the Cao Gang stepped up efforts to intercept merchant ships on the water. Although the Cao Gang was a bandit, the Cao Gang actually did business. They knew almost everyone in the waterway who worked in this business. Therefore, the Cao Gang really did the food that the Xue family wanted for them.
Of course, the Xue family also invested a lot of money and paid a lot of money.
In addition to grain, the Xue family also stocked up a lot of other goods.
After getting the food, Xue Han and the clan leader were worried that the amount was too large and it would easily attract attention. After discussing it, they simply divided the food into three parts to hide it. One part was hidden in the north of the city, and it had been found by Zhao Jingyun. One part was in the six villages west of the city, and the third part was the largest, and it was left in the Xue family's clan.
The granary in the north of the city was found by Zhao Jingyun's people, and several children from the tribe died. What about the remaining two granaries?
As if to verify his doubts, a servant came in, and said, "No, Master, the granary of the six villages was found by the King of Jingyue, and all the men guarding the warehouse were killed."
"What did you say?" Xue Han stared at him, and suddenly his eyes turned black and he fainted immediately.
The two young men of the Xue family rushed forward and pinched his people. Only then did Xue Han slowly come back to life. "Prepare the horse."
"father."
"Go to the clan immediately." Xue Han shouted.
The two young men immediately wanted to follow, but Xue Han glared at them with a vicious look, "You pack up immediately, take your wife and children away, and the two brothers left separately."
"Dad." The two young men couldn't help crying.
"Don't be too slow, you can't leave any longer. Without opening the city gate, find a place outside to hide. Go out of the city immediately at dawn."
"Dad, the city gate is not open, and you can't get out." The second young master reminded him.
Xue Han's hurried steps stopped suddenly. Suddenly, he turned around and stared at the servant who reported the news, "How did you enter the city?"
"Yes, the prince will let the young man come back to report the message." The servants were trembling.
After hearing this, Xue Han fell to the ground and the two young masters of the Xue family were also in a daze. At this moment, noise came from outside the courtyard wall.
"Master, no, there are many officers and soldiers outside." The concierge ran over to report the news in panic.
"father."
"Put it out and take the child out. Remember, one person can escape is one." Xue Han sneered and ordered, with a very sad and angry manner, but he calmed down instead.
"Dad, hoarding food, disrupting the market, and being guilty of death. It's better than us..." The second young master wanted to persuade him.
Xue Han shook his head in despair, "It's too late, everything is too late. From the road to Longzhigong, either you die or I live. Since Zhao Jingyun will kill anyone and not keep a single word of living, he must be sure to do this. I am a sinner of the Xue family, and I am too greedy to do this."
The two young men of the Xue family have turned pale. What's the use of blaming others at this time? Both brothers have grown up. In the past two years, Xue Han has raised two sons, so many things have not been hidden from them. Both brothers know that if Zhao Jingyun takes a ruthless move, the Xue family will definitely not be able to escape.
"Dad, fight hard." The second young master closed his eyes and opened them again, and he had already made up his mind.
In fact, they guessed nothing wrong.
At this time, the ancestral home of the Xue family was surrounded by Xie Zhen and others. This guy just arrived in Pingyang City last night and led people to search the ancestral home of the Xue family overnight.
"What's wrong with the Xue family? I'm alarming the prince to come to the door in person?" The patriarch gritted his teeth, and no junior of the Xue family appeared behind him.
Zhao Jingyun was too lazy to pay attention to him.
The Xue family was neglected and suddenly turned red. The Xue family was one of the four major families in Pingyang City. The Xue family has always been proud of it. Not to mention the leader of the Xue family, even if the Xue family juniors went out to make a name for themselves, most of the people in Pingyang City had to give the Xue family face. In the past, Zhao Jingyun was quite polite to them, and the patriarch always thought that the Xue family also occupied an important position in the mind of King Jingyue. At least, if Zhao Jingyun wanted to touch the Xue family, he had to think about it in his heart.
He never expected that Zhao Jingyun didn't even have the interest to pay attention to him, and a sense of humiliation suddenly surged into his heart.
