Prime Minister of Great Qin

Chapter 145 If there is no information gap, create information gap! (seeking subscription)
"Father, this." Feng Zhen's face changed slightly.

If this is true.

Their Feng family is afraid that they will completely turn against the eldest son.

Feng Dong snorted coldly, and said in a cold voice, "Can't you see the matter now?"

"Fusu has a prejudice against us merchants, and he has never tolerated us. Since he can't tolerate us, why should we try to curry favor?"

"Is patience useful?"

"His sword is almost on our necks."

"He is not benevolent, we are not righteous."

Feng Zhen's face changed, and finally his eyes turned cold.

The reason why their Feng family made such a bad plan was because the eldest son blindly forced them?
Now the eldest son is pressing them every step of the way.

Still not allowing them to resist?
Feng Zhen cupped his hands and said, "Father's words are true."

"It's not too much for us to do this."

"There is a shortage of salt and iron, so the price should have increased, but the government has set a limit, and we should abide by it, so the government's attitude such as closing the store first is also understandable."

"only."

Feng Zhen hesitated for a moment, and asked in confusion, "Is it just my Feng family?"

Feng Dong shook his head.

He tore off a leaf from the tree, crushed it with his hands, and said in a cold voice, "Under the overturned nest, how can there be any eggs?"

"When you order to go out, make more noise."

"Let the other families hear it, they know what to do."

"Isn't the government trying to cut off our contact now? Let's communicate through this first, but it's not a long-term solution. When things get bigger, we can send people to other homes and inform them that we should meet the eldest son together. Go ask the eldest son for advice."

"We discussed going to the government. This can't be said to be a private connection, can it?"

Feng Dong smiled sadly.

heard.

Feng Zhen's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said, "Father, you are absolutely terrific."

Feng Dong sneered, and said: "We couldn't rush before, but now we can't procrastinate. The longer we procrastinate, the higher the chance of accidents on the government's side, so we can only choose to force the government. In addition, we have no way to communicate with each other in private. , the longer it drags on, the more suspicious each other will be, so we must meet up as soon as possible to appease people's hearts."

Feng Zhen nodded.

Feng Dong looked at Feng Zhen, flicked his sleeves and said, "Now go down and make arrangements."

"I'm a little tired."

Feng Zhendao: "I'll go down and make arrangements."

"Father, take care of your health, the family is in turmoil, and you need to take charge of the overall situation."

Feng Dong nodded, "I'm fine."

Feng Zhen took a few glances at Feng Dong and ran away quickly.

Feng Dong looked at Feng Zhen's back and sighed heavily.

It was silent for a long time.

An atmosphere of uneasiness enveloped this vibrant courtyard.

Feng Dong supported the lacquer table with his hands, and sat down slowly.

He had a hunch.

The Feng family has really come to a crossroads.

If this plan does not succeed, I am afraid that there will be no chance again.

He will also be destined to become a blood-and-sweat businessman of the government.

This premonition is extremely strong.

He raised his head, but saw a few peach leaves blown off by the wind.

Feng Dong stared at these flying peach leaves, and finally moved his eyes to the distance.

He arched his back.

A figure gradually appeared in his mind.

He is now very sure that it must be this person who conspired for Fusu.

"Mr. Zhong."

"Why do you want to hold me and wait?"

"Why did my merchant offend you? Want to target you like this?"

"What exactly are you planning?"

A gust of cold wind blew past, Feng Dong shrank back, and the already blurry figure completely dissipated at this moment.

Feng Dong looked around, but found nothing.

When he was meditating just now, he had a faint feeling that something was wrong.

This time things won't end so easily.

Fusu may not have many schemes, but Mr. Zhong, who is in the dark, will never give up easily.

He must have a plan.

And the plot is only big or small.

It's just that Mr. Zhong was plotting exactly what Feng Dong was thinking about for a long time, but he still had no idea, and he didn't even know where to think. Whenever he makes a move, it is destined to cause wailing.

He was already a little scared.

But he really had no choice.

He is old.

Most people in the clan are mediocre.

Half of his body has been buried in the ground, if he doesn't fight for the clan more, I'm afraid that after his death, the Feng family won't be able to fight at all.

It's just that he never expected that he would meet the last Mr. Zhong.

Feng Dong sighed again.

He looked up at the peach leaves dancing with the wind.

The only thing left is loneliness.

There is a reopening day, and no one is young.

West City.

The scent of fish exuding mountain pepper spreads all around.

Fusu is also a great taste bud.

Ji Heng filled a bowl of rice for Fusu, and the two sat around the fire and had lunch.

Fusu picked up a piece of fish, thoughtfully, and asked, "Do you intend to keep me, sir?"

Ji Heng looked at the jug behind him, and said calmly: "It doesn't count. After collecting the wine, I naturally have to do something. As I said earlier, it's not worth the price of two jugs."

Fusu glanced at Ji Heng, pondered for a moment, and suddenly said: "Sir, do you mean that something will happen to the outside world?"

Ji Heng smiled and said nothing.

Fusu looked at Ji Heng a few more times, and finally buried his head in eating the fish.

He believed that Ji Heng would not aim at nothing.

at this time.

A voice came from outside.

Wei Shengdao: "Young Master, Meng Yi Tingwei has spread the news that the salt and iron submerged in the water have spread in the city. Now the people in the city are in panic, and many people are rushing to the major salt and iron shops to buy."

"Lieutenant Meng Yi Ting asked the young master to go back quickly to take care of the big things."

Fusu looked at Ji Heng, frowned and said, "Is this what Master wants to wait for?"

Ji Heng shook his head.

Fu Su frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said loudly: "Go back and tell Lieutenant Meng Ting and Du Shaofu, I already know about the affairs in the city, so there is no need to distract yourself for the time being."

"promise."

Hearing the sound of footsteps going away, Fu Su chuckled lightly and said, "Sir, I'm like a fish in this cauldron, caught on fire, and I don't know how many people are staring at it."

Ji Heng smiled and said, "The fish is really delicious."

talking.

I picked up a big piece and ate it with enjoyment.

Fusu shook his head.

He was actually very curious, what exactly did Ji Heng want to do?He believed that what Ji Heng did had a deep meaning, but he couldn't see through it for a while.

Ji Heng didn't explain much.

He should have explained it long ago.

Just waiting for the result now.

He believes the outcome will be good.

Soon.

Wei Sheng, who had not been away for a long time, left and returned.

He said anxiously: "My lord, Meng Tingwei sent another letter just now, the major merchants in Xianyang have notified their own salt shops and iron shops to close and no longer sell them to outsiders, and they also claimed to wait for the government to notify."

"Right now, there is an uproar in the city. If the imperial court doesn't come forward, the situation may be out of control."

"My son, please return to court quickly."

heard.

Fusu's face tightened slightly.

He looked at Ji Heng, Ji Heng was still calm.

Fusu showed hesitation, hesitated for a while, and still chose to trust Ji Heng.

He said to the outside: "It's not yet time."

"Continue to investigate."

Fusu obviously lost the composure he had before, and became a little more absent-minded.

It's just that he can bear his temper.

Ji Heng glanced at Fusu and said calmly, "Are you flustered?"

Fu Su nodded and said, "A little bit."

Ji Heng smiled lightly and said, "Do you think the matter of salt and iron will be exposed in the end?"

Fu Su hesitated and said, "It should."

"It's not supposed to be, it will be." Ji Heng affirmed.

"Why is this?"

Ji Heng said indifferently: "You can actually think about the time. From the time you knew about the shipwreck in Huai County to the time I asked Liao Ke to notify you, you can then think about it on behalf of merchants."

Fusu frowned.

He frowned and pondered for a moment, but didn't notice anything unusual.

He wondered: "Is there a problem?"

Ji Heng said with deep eyes: "Yes, but it can also be said that there is no, or that there was no original, but now there is."

"Have you ever heard of being a thief with a guilty conscience?"

Fusu nodded.

Ji Heng picked up a song leaf from the cauldron and said with a smile, "Now the merchant is the thief. I have calculated the distance from Huai County to Xianyang. When I asked Liao Ke to deliver the letter, this matter should be done to no one but the government. know."

"The merchants are well-informed."

"They have their own news channels."

"However, the government postmen take the straight official road, and the merchants can only take the ordinary road. Now it is February, after a cold winter, many roads have become muddy and potholes, and the footsteps will be much slower. "

"Therefore, merchants have to delay at least several hours to get the news."

Fusu thought about it.

agree with this statement.

Ji Heng said again: "When Liao Ke spread the news, merchants are usually unaware of it, so if you don't know it was Liao Ke who spread the news, who do you think spread the news?"

Fu Su frowned.

He hesitated for a moment, unsure: "Government?"

"But will the officials tell this to the bottom?" Ji Heng asked again.

Fusu shook his head.

Ji Heng said with a smile: "They won't tell the lower level, because it won't do any good, but it's possible to tell the merchants, if someone has an affair with the merchants secretly, the merchants are likely to know about it."

"And what I said earlier."

"A guilty conscience to be a thief."

"What you have done before has already made the merchants feel uneasy, and when they start monitoring them, they will be even more panicked, so if you put in the merchant's perspective, you will feel that Fusu seems to be a little mad, it is already There are some broken pots."

"In order to avoid being targeted, people subconsciously shift their attention."

"And at this time."

"Liao Ke spread the word."

heard.

Fusu pondered for a while, then suddenly woke up.

He wondered: "But the merchants should not have known about it at the time, but the news spread. Who spread it? In the eyes of the officials, it was the merchants, but the merchants would think it was other merchants."

"And because there are people watching outside."

"They have no way to ask the real situation."

"There's a loophole here."

"So it doesn't matter whether you know it was Liao Ke who spread the news, what matters is that the officials and businessmen who know the news can spread it now."

"Plus."

"The merchant's reaction is too fast."

"This actually shows that the merchants are aware."

"Officials with information will have distrust of these businessmen."

"If we cut off the connection between these officials and merchants."

"We'll only be more suspicious of each other."

"That in turn forces them to expose more vulnerabilities."

"I get it all!"

Fusu showed an excited look on his face.

At the beginning, Ji Heng let himself focus on merchants, but it was actually just a cover. He really aimed at those officials at both ends of the head. After two changes in government orders, he forcibly created an information gap, and then calculated those officials. Going in caused suspicion between them and merchants.

It was precisely through this layer of information gap that Ji Heng calculated all the officials, merchants and businessmen, and forcibly tore a hole in their originally tight relationship.

Then the situation was reversed in one fell swoop.

Such calculations.

Fusu is breathtaking.

Even can't help but feel a little creepy.
