Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

"Yes, I have lived in Fangfu for a while."

"Fang Yuan, can I walk around the mansion with Wu Shun?"

Miao Jianglan looked at Fang Yuan, seeking Fang Yuan's opinion.

"Just treat it as your own home."

Fang Yuan has no opinion.

It just so happened that Miao Jianglan called Wushun away, so as not to quarrel with her.

"Ok."

Miao Jianglan smiled back.

Pulling Wu Shun out of the hall of Fang Mansion, he disappeared from Fang Yuan's sight.

the other side.

Wu Ruyi finds Lu Xia to report.

"The situation is urgent and there is no need for delay. We will act immediately."

Lu Xia knew that Wu Ruyi was recommended by Fang Yuan, and believed that she was qualified for this job.

"Miss Lu, although the method I mentioned can divert the conflict, it will still make many aristocratic families dissatisfied, especially the small Chinese aristocratic families."

"So when you face them, you can be polite, and you can give them a little benefit if necessary."

Wu Ruyi reminded.

Prohibiting the price increase of commodities is to prevent the aristocratic family from making a fortune.

Although it is not as terrible as breaking people's money, it is actually somewhat related.

Fortunately, the big family, their family has a big business, and they will not have any objections through supporting their foreign trade.

But small and medium-sized families are different. They do not have the ability to trade abroad, and they only focus on the domestic market.

Even if it is to support their foreign trade, they will be cautious, and they must be more polite when implementing the plan so as not to cause new conflicts.

"Miss Wu, we represent Huaxia Bank, and behind Huaxia Bank are His Majesty and Fang Shangshu."

"We can give them some benefits, but we can't be too polite to them, otherwise His Majesty and Fang Shangshu will lose face."

Lu Xia shook her head and said.

Waiting for others is not to implement the plan for yourself.

But for the emperor, Fang Yuan and the people of the world, the attitude must not be polite.

"That too."

Wu Ruyi thought for a while and couldn't help but nodded.

"Here's the list I made last night."

"Today we will act together first, and tomorrow we will act separately."

Lu Xia took out several lists and gave one to Wu Ruyi and others.

This belongs to the rich family in Chang'an City. Today, Lu Xia and others are going to visit them in the name of Huaxia Bank.

Many people on this list have deep contacts with Huaxia Bank, and many people have borrowed money from Huaxia Bank.

The Hongnong Yang family, the Dugu family, the Langya Wang family, and the Chenjun Xie family. On this day, Lu Xia and the others visited several great families.

After the five surnames and Qiwang moved away, these aristocratic families became the top aristocratic families in Chang'an City, dominating every aspect of Chang'an City.

The first day's discussion between Lu Xia and others was good. Although these big families were somewhat dissatisfied, they chose to agree to lower prices in the face of support and pressure from the emperor and Fang Yuan.

However, the situation was not so optimistic after the second day. Small and medium-sized families had their own ideas and were unwilling to cooperate with Huaxia Bank to regulate prices, saying that they did not make money.

Because Lu Xia and the others did not represent themselves, so during the negotiation, Lu Xia and the others appeared aggressive, and the small and medium-sized families who were unwilling to cooperate finally agreed to lower the price aggrievedly.

Several days passed, Lu Xia's team visited the representatives of the family on the list.

Except for very few families who are unwilling to cooperate, other families are also willing to cooperate, saying that they will continue to reduce prices.

However, after more than ten days, the promised families did not really lower their prices, and the prices in Chang'an City and its surrounding areas were still slowly rising.

On this day, more people complained about rising prices.

"What's the matter, why have the prices of everything increased recently?"

"That's right. You could buy it for a penny before, but now it costs two pennies."

"If this continues, our survival will be a problem. Who can decide for us?"

The people talked a lot, and there was a lot of resentment.

It's annoying when prices go up for no apparent reason.

None of them knew that the real reason was that the imperial court printed too much money.

At this time, some aristocratic families who control prices held an interim meeting.

The Yang family of Hongnong, the Dugu family, the Wang family of Langya, and the Xie family of Chenjun all participated in it.

"As far as I can see, prices still need to come down. The imperial court and Fang Shangshu are not something we should offend."

The representative of the Dugu family spoke first.

His words were supported by the Hongnong Yang family and other aristocratic families, and those who supported were all big aristocratic families.

"You have a big family and a big business, and the imperial court supports your foreign trade."

"But as for our small and medium-sized family, we simply don't have the ability to trade with foreign countries. If the internal price is reduced, how can we survive?"

Individual small and medium-sized families objected.

He Fang Yuan and Zuo Jian community have already emptied their family fortune.

Now they are going to take the initiative to lower the price, and they simply don't have that much money to support them.

Once the capital chain is broken, what awaits them may be bankruptcy, industrial annexation and so on.

Therefore, even in the face of Fang Yuan and Li Shimin, these aristocratic families did not retreat, and their attitudes were firm.

"Foreign trade is indeed a bit dangerous for you, but is it not an opportunity?"

"If you can seize this opportunity, it is very likely that among you you will become a big family, and even become the new Five Surnames and Seven Wangs."

The representatives of the Dugu Family were authorized by Dugu Bo to actively cooperate with Huaxia Bank.

"It is indeed possible to become a big family if it succeeds, but what if it fails?"

"I would rather let my children and grandchildren inherit this small family business than let it decay in my hands."

"As long as I don't lose my family, my family will never lose."

Many small and medium-sized families are ready to move.

But there are others who are determined not to take the risk.

Steady development is very important to many aristocratic families.

And while taking risks can bring unimaginable profits, it can also lead to the collapse of the family.

"If you really don't want to cooperate, then I, Hongnong Yang, will lower the price myself. Is it okay?"

The representative of Hongnong Yang said.

He is also authorized to support price cuts.

"Our aristocratic family makes money together, does the Hongnong Yang family really want to do this?"

The representatives of the small and medium aristocratic families were immediately dissatisfied.

Although their strength is not as good as that of the big family, but their number is much larger.

For a while, most of the small and medium-sized families accused Hongnong Yang, as if Hongnong Yang was their enemy.

"Then what do you think?"

The Hongnong Yang family and the Dugu family were a little impatient.

The big family wants to reduce the price, but the small and medium family does not want to reduce the price. Is there no way to negotiate a good way?

"Until a result is negotiated, everything remains the same."

"If any family takes the initiative to lower the price, my Luo family will remember the other party."

A representative of a small family stood up and said excitedly.

"It's the same with my Zhao family!"

"The same is true of my grandson's family!"

"The same goes for my Fei family!"

Small and medium-sized families disagreed with the price reduction.

The meeting went on late into the night without any results, and finally broke up unhappy, and the price did not drop.

Lu Xia, who doesn't know the situation, can only make people keep urging those aristocratic families.

But it angered some extreme families.

"Urge, urge, urge to die?"

"Go, teach them a lesson!"

That night, Luxia and Wu Ruyi came out of Huaxia Bank.

Because they are too busy, the few of them have been busy until late at get off work these days.

Although it was quite late, both Lu Xia and Wu Ruyi were protected by guards, so there was no danger.

On this day, neither of them sat in a sedan chair, but walked side by side on the quiet Chang'an City Avenue.

"Those aristocratic families are really cunning. They clearly promised us to reduce the price verbally, but they haven't started to reduce the price yet."

Wu Ruyi sighed and said.

She looked a little tired and weak between her brows.

She proposed the plan to Fang Yuan, but it seems that it has not worked so far.

Is it because I am too naive?
"Noble families are like this, just get used to it."

"What I worry about is that the people's resentment is getting bigger and bigger, and it will turn into unrest."

Lu Xia said with a sigh.

The resistance ability of the people at the bottom is very low, and they have no savings.

When the savings on their bodies are not used up, they may just complain.

But when it is impossible to survive, all kinds of excessive things may be done.

One or two, over time, no one can guarantee what kind of consequences it will evolve into.

"Shall we visit again in person tomorrow?"

Wu Ruyi sighed and said in a deep voice.

"it is good."

"Take a good rest tonight and see you tomorrow."

Lu Xia really has this intention.

The two stopped at an intersection.

Their homes are separated here, not on the same road.

"See you tomorrow."

Wu Ruyi nodded and said.

Walk towards Hongnong Yang's mansion.

And Lu Xia walked in the direction of Fangfu.

Just, suddenly.

More than a dozen men in black appeared in the darkness, surrounding Lu Xia, Wu Ruyi and others.

"who?"

"We are from Huaxia Bank, and we are working on behalf of His Majesty and Fang Shangshu!"

There were four guards in total, and they immediately pulled Lu Xia and Wu Ruyi closer, protecting the four of them in the middle.

"I'm looking for someone from Huaxia Bank!"

"Listen well, we are members of a family in Chang'an City, I advise you to be less urging, otherwise this will be the end!"

The man in black said coldly.

After speaking, he went to kill the guards.

Both Wu Ruyi's guard and Wu Ruyi's guard belonged to Huaxia Bank.

The guards on both sides are relatively powerful, but facing the difference in the number of people, they are powerless after all.

"Come on!"

The guards fought hard, trying to open a way for Lu Xia and Wu Ruyi to survive.

Fortunately, there were not many people in black. After fighting hard, the four guards quickly broke out of the encirclement and pushed Lu Xia and Wu Ruyi out of the encirclement.

The man in black didn't seem to be targeting Lu Xia and Wu Ruyi, he didn't kill Lu Xia and Wu Ruyi specifically, but only shot at the four guards.

"Come on!"

Wu Ruyiyuan made a decisive decision, took Lu Xia's hand and ran away.

She was very surprised by the current situation, and wondered why the men in black didn't chase after them.

But now is not the time to think about that, it is the time to escape.

After a stick of incense.

There were four corpses lying on the ground, they were the four guards protecting Lu Xia and Wu Ruyi.

The men in black didn't hunt down Lu Xia and Wu Ruyi, their purpose was just to scare them.

After confirming that the four guards were dead, the people in black quickly disappeared into the darkness.

"No, don't run away."

In the darkness, Lu Xia panted heavily, and shook off Wu Ruyi's hand.

She was bent over, her hands resting on her knees, out of breath.

"No, don't you run away?"

Wu Ruyi was also out of breath.

She looked around in the darkness in fear, to prevent the man in black from coming out again.

"Don't run away, they didn't intend to kill us, or it was just a warning."

Lu Xia wiped the sweat from her forehead and panted.

She has also experienced a lot in these years, and she is no longer an ignorant and ignorant girl.

The dozen or so men in black obviously saw that they were the top executives of Huaxia Bank.

But they just warned, and then shot at the guards, obviously not intending to kill the two of them.

If you think about this clearly, you don't need to run away.

"hateful!"

"Their family is too arrogant!"

After listening to Lu Xia's explanation, Wu Ruyi said angrily.

Are you happy playing with the two of you like monkeys?

Don't they know that the two of them represent not themselves, but the Huaxia Bank, but the emperor and Fang Yuan?

"It's really too arrogant."

"Go, follow me back to Fang Mansion, find Fang Yuan!"

Lu Xia also snorted coldly and said coldly.

They take themselves too seriously to let it go.

Do you think it's okay to warn the two of you?

They alarmed Fang Yuan!
As Lu Xia said, there is no danger for them going back this way, and they all returned to Fang Mansion soon.

Through the report, Fang Yuan learned about the matter, and appeared with a calm face.

"Lai Yingzhe, why don't you take someone to see what's going on with the guards?"

Fang Yuan immediately arranged for Lai Yingzhe to check the situation.

Then I learned about the situation at that time from Lu Xia and Wu Ruyi.

"Hmph, are the aristocratic families in Chang'an City so arrogant?"

Fang Yuan snorted coldly.

How dare you dare to warn like that.

Not only did they not lower the price, but they also sent people to kill people to warn them, arrogant!

"Fang Yuan, this matter must not let them be safe and sound, otherwise the control cannot be implemented!"

Lu Xia said in a deep voice.

It's one thing for regulation to be unenforceable.

The other thing is that she can't tolerate being intimidated like this without doing anything.

"Don't worry, none of them can escape!"

"You guys have a good rest, I will go to the palace."

Fang Yuan said with a sullen face.

The aristocratic families in Chang'an City are too arrogant, Fang Yuan wants to teach them a big lesson.

But it's better to tell Li Shimin about this, and let him take action to deal a heavy blow to the aristocratic family.

Naturally, Fang Yuan can also make a move, but it will be recorded by most aristocratic families, so it is better to make a move in the name of the emperor.

"be careful on the road."

Lu Xia was worried and authentic.

"Do they still dare to assassinate court ministers?"

Fang Yuan could not help but sneer.

Except for the five surnames and Qiwang, the other aristocratic families did not have the guts to assassinate the court ministers.

Even if there is, Fang Yuan is not afraid, his security is not at the same level as Lu Xia's.

Soon, Lu Xia and Wu Ruyi were arranged to rest.

Fang Yuan did not enter the palace immediately, but waited for Lai Yingzhe's return, and brought back four corpses.

"Really brave!"

"Go call Bo Wu and follow me into the palace."

Fang Yuan looked at the corpse and sneered, and said angrily.

Bold, not ordinary bold, actually murderous and threatening.

Well, if you dare to go too far, then don't blame yourself for giving them a thunderous blow.

Soon, Xue Bowu arrived, accompanied by several gun-armed guards, escorting Fang Yuan into the palace together.
