() Everyone in the aristocratic family knows all that Ma Yue said, but they have never thought of the matter so seriously, and even linked it to such a serious crime as collaborating with the enemy.But when you think about it carefully, it is not unreasonable. After all, those Qiang people are foreigners, and most of those items are really forbidden to be bought or sold by the imperial court.It is only because Xiliang is located in the border area, and the imperial court's deterrence is not up to date, that the whole family doesn't take it seriously.But if the matter is really exposed, the problem will be a bit serious.

The faces of the seven aristocratic children suddenly sank when they thought of this, they were sensitively aware that the handle of their family had fallen into Ma Yue's hands.The hateful thing is that this is the result of their own indifference. If they had some concerns when doing these things and cleaned up their hands a little bit, Ma Yue might not have such detailed information in his hands.

But it's too late to regret the previous carelessness, the most urgent thing is to think about how to deal with this situation.Could it be that he really wanted to bow his head to this poor boy who was underestimated by himself and others, and then hemorrhagely took out a lot of food?This is what they, as the children of the aristocratic family, do not want to accept from their hearts.

Ma Yue saw that everyone's faces were cloudy and uncertain, and he was obviously frightened by his own words, so he stopped scaring them with words, but picked up a few dishes with chopsticks, and slowly enjoyed them.And Ma Chao saw that his brother suppressed the arrogance of all the children of the family with a few words, and felt very happy. He picked up the wine glass and got involved with Ma Yueyao.

"Hmph, what you said is nothing more than scaremongering, don't try to use this to force me to submit!" After a long while, Zhang Yuan suddenly spoke, which broke the somewhat dull scene.

Ma Yue looked at this handsome young man with a smile, he didn't show any anxious expression because of his words, he just waited for the other party to speak.In this way, he will not be at a disadvantage in terms of momentum.

"If these things were really so serious, I'm afraid that our family would have been brought down by the court for questioning. But in fact, we have been doing business with the Qiang people with great fanfare, and some items were even purchased from the Central Plains. What's the matter. So the court will definitely not pursue this matter, even if it is really pursued, will you just sit idly by as the Austrian aid of our seven families in the court?" Zhang Yuan said coldly: "So what you said just now is not enough It's a threatening statement, and it can't be true at all!"

After Ma Yue heard the words, he was not in a hurry and became happy: "Mr. Zhang seems to be quite confident in his family's support in the imperial court. He thinks that even such a serious crime can hardly hurt you? This is really underestimating me. the law.

"In the past until now, the seven of you have been able to trade with the Qiang people in violation of the law, just because no one has reported you. Once someone really reports on you, and there is sufficient evidence, the court can't ignore it. After all, it is a major event related to the face and reality of my court.

"Of course, with the connections of the seven of you in the court, there will be someone who will speak for you at that time. If you are waiting, this matter can be turned into a small matter. It is true that the small matter is turned into a small matter. However, there is one thing I want to point out , that is now is definitely not an ordinary time. The Qiang people used to be just a foreign race, they were a threat to me, Xiliang, but they were not an enemy to my Hantianxia. But today is different, and now they have coveted me The land of Xiliang, once Xiliang is really in its hands, will be a serious threat to the imperial court. At that time, what do you think the imperial court will think of them?

"Enemy! The imperial court will definitely treat the Qiang people as deadly enemies, and the nature of your seven families' communication with the imperial court's enemies is much more serious than before. At that time, do you think those officials in the imperial court are facing What choice will they make in this matter? I think most people will only choose to be wise and protect their lives, and ignore it? Otherwise, I’m afraid they will be hard to protect themselves, let alone other things!”

When Ma Yue finished his long speech and looked at Zhang Yuan again, he found that his face was already pale, and he obviously agreed with his statement in his heart.As for the other people, all of them lost their previous composure and looked at each other, but none of them could say anything to refute at this time.

This handle has been completely controlled by Ma Yue, which means that he has seized the lifeblood of the seven families, which is the fear in their hearts.At this moment, the eyes they looked at Ma Yue were no longer domineering, but even flattering and pleading.

Ma Yue saw that they had lost their confidence like a deflated ball, and knew that there was no need to say another set of rhetoric he had prepared before.But in order to completely subdue them and make them willing to bleed profusely, he still said another set of rhetoric that he had prepared: "And do you think that only the imperial court will be unfavorable to you? Once the Qiang people really capture our west After a while, even if the imperial court does not pursue this matter, it is impossible for you to trade with the Qiang people."

"What do you mean?" Lin Lie couldn't help asking a little strangely.

"You guys have monopolized my trade routes from Xiliang to the Central Plains by relying on your own power over the years. I'm not wrong about that?" After getting their acquiescence, Ma Yue continued: "You just rely on With this in mind, not only did you earn huge profits in the Central Plains, but you also made a lot of money from the Qiang people. You suppressed the cattle and horses and other livestock that the Qiang people wanted to sell at a very low price, and sold the goods in the Central Plains at high prices. It was sold to the Qiang people. Since the Qiang people have no other channels to buy and sell, they can only let you sell high and buy low, and suffer big losses. I have not wronged you for these things?"

The young masters glanced at each other, and finally had no choice but to nod in agreement.The few of them have indeed done a lot of these things. After all, when you monopolize the entry and exit of a certain commodity, how can you not seek to maximize your own interests?And this will inevitably cause some people to suffer greatly, and the Qiang people are the ones who suffer the most.

Ma Yue saw that they nodded, and he was more determined: "Then do you think they will always accept such unequal trade and keep dealing with you? If the situation remains the same, they have no other way, maybe they will continue to do so." Be patient with your exploitation. But once Xiliang is captured by them, you will no longer have the final say on the trade. Even if the Qiang people don't kill you to vent their anger, your monopoly of trading with the Qiang people will no longer exist This is bound to cause great harm to your family, I wonder if what I said is right?"

When he was talking about this, Ma Yue suddenly had a thought in his mind, maybe there was also a reason for this in the subsequent Wuhuluanhua.Those Hu people have been treated by the Han family in such an almost exploitative way, and they must have great indignation in their hearts.And when an opportunity came, their revenge fell on the Han nation.But the hateful thing is that when the Hu people entered the Central Plains, the creators of these conflicts—the aristocratic families—run away quickly by relying on their own power, and it was only ordinary people who suffered.

This thought made Ma Yue seem to have grasped the root of some problems, but he couldn't bear to think about it at this time, and he still had to solve the problems in front of him first.

Ma Yue's reasoning was also very reasonable, making it difficult for the seven people to refute, so they had to acquiesce.At the same time, they have begun to agree with Ma Yue's statement in their hearts, and feel that they really shouldn't watch the Qiang people become powerful and threaten themselves.

After exchanging glances with each other, Lin Lie asked on behalf of everyone: "Then tell me how much food the government wants this time, and see if our family can afford it."

As soon as these words came out, Ma Yue's heart was finally relieved, and they had accepted their request.Ma Yue smiled: "Judging from the size of the imperial army this time, plus the cost of transporting grain and grass to the front line, the grain needed should be around 100 million hu."

"What? 100 million hu?" Everyone was shocked when they heard the number, and they all said, "This is really too much. Even if my seven families emptied out all the granaries, it would be impossible for them to take out There are so many."

"That's right. Actually, I heard that the army to put down the chaos this time is less than [-], and the food consumption can't reach millions. Mr. Ma, this is really too much..."

Ma Yuezao knew that they would think the government's demands were too high, so he deliberately reported a large number.Seeing what they said now, he said: "In this case, let's reduce some of it for everyone, and our government will find a way to solve the rest. 70 yuan, each of you is responsible for [-] yuan, so there will be a lot of trouble. , what do you think?"

"This..." Everyone wanted to ask for less, but they found that Ma Yue's face had darkened: "Why, are you even willing to give up this snack for the court?"

"Okay! My Tong family will accept the [-] hu of grain!" At this time, Tong Xun was the first to nod.Their Tong family is a big grain merchant in Zhangye, but they can still get the [-] hu of grain.And with the first person who nodded, the other six people didn't dare to shirk anymore, and they all bit the bullet and agreed, but they still stated that this was only a temporary agreement, and they had to go home and ask the clan if the matter would work out. Only the elders can decide.

Naturally, Ma Yue would not force them to make a written statement at this time, so he nodded and said: "If you have the heart to do your best for my great Han court, I will definitely tell Dong Gong. And as long as this battle can be won , the efforts of each family will not be in vain, and there will be rewards when the time comes."

Hearing what Ma Yue said, the spirits of the people who were still a bit reluctant were lifted: "What do you mean by reward?"

"As long as each of your families really helps the government, the government will allow each of your families to legally trade with the Qiang people, and it is only for buying and selling. Others are illegal. That is to say, from now on, your families will no longer have any It's a future trouble." Ma Yue smiled and threw out the reason why the last trick could convince them!
