Reborn pretty princess

Chapter 88 Dilemma
After the grain merchants left, Feng Wei and the generals of the Feng family went back to the study to discuss matters.

It stands to reason that a stranger like Feng Wei, who has never seen one before, wears a veiled hat, and never shows any traces, so frequent in and out of Feng Mansion, accompanied by the personal guards of Feng Mansion, should attract special attention. Your attention and guess are right.

However, now that the battle in Qiyang has started, the number of manpower coming and going from various prefectures has increased, not to mention the Feng family, so no one pays much attention to her.

But even so, Feng Wei still took precautions, and the disguise on her face never got rid of it.

Along the way, Zhou Hai's rough old face smiled like a chrysanthemum, and he walked out of the camp with a cheerful smile, which shocked many people's eyes.

He was still smiling until he sat down in the study.

Finally, Yang Zizheng, who was sitting across from him, couldn't bear it any longer, "I said, have you laughed enough? My chicken skin is almost gone! Can you save it?"

Zhou Hai stared bull-eyed: "I like to laugh! I want you to take care of it!"

As he spoke, ignoring Yang Zizheng, who was about to lose his temper, he smacked his lips and said, "Your Highness is really good at talking, hey, thinking about Zhou Yichang's fat head and big brain The guy, trembling with anger and unable to speak, I can't help it! It can be regarded as venting! Grandma's!"

Feng Wei happened to be seated, and smiled slightly when she heard these words, and said, "Do you want to learn from me, Uncle Zhou? So that you don't have to do it if you can't say it?"

Zhou Hai coughed loudly twice, looked left and right at the crowd, and waved his hands in a rough voice: "Your Highness, let's talk about business! Talk about business! Hey! Why are you all staring at me? My face Are there flowers?! Talk about business!"

The generals couldn't help laughing, even Wu Lun, who was always calm and serious, couldn't help but bend his lips, causing Zhou Hai to stare wide-eyed, "Wu Lun! Even you laugh at me?"

Feng Wei watched them arguing with a slight smile, and for some reason, a figure of a person suddenly appeared in her mind—that person with his hands behind his back, a handsome face with almost no expression, but it was so cold A person, as long as he stands there, as long as he looks at him, he will make people feel warm and safe from the bottom of his heart.

I don't know how he is now.

As soon as these words came out of her heart, the image in Fengwei's mind burst with a "bah".

For a moment, her breathing was stagnant, and she only felt that her chest was swollen and uncomfortable.

Taking a deep breath, Feng Wei closed her eyes, suppressed the disturbing thoughts in her heart, and said, "That Zhou Yichang, there is a problem."

All the generals had already stopped laughing, and sat up straight one by one.

"Zhou Yichang has been inciting grain merchants and refusing to sell grain to us. Behind what he did, it was not really what he said. He was talking about business, just for profit. What he said was intentional. Tell him, what you asked him to say is to disturb Huang's party today!" Feng Wei analyzed calmly.

Wu Lun nodded: "Indeed, what he said today was too deliberate and aimed at us on purpose. Lao Zhou was so provoked that he almost lost his mind and took action."

Feng Wei said coldly: "Uncle Zhou's temper has always been hot, which is a good breakthrough point. As long as the incident becomes serious and all the grain merchants are united in the same hatred, the Feng family will not be able to get any more grain! Robbing, you can But in this way, the Feng family will lose the support of the people. Don’t underestimate the merchants. They have a low status and a high reputation. If you want to resist foreign enemies, you may not be able to control them. Once a mutiny is provoked, the gain will outweigh the loss. Even if you survive the siege safely, it is not appropriate to deal with the aftermath. If there is another attack from the court..."

Feng Wei didn't continue talking, but all the generals present understood.

Those who use tricks just want to stir up conflicts between the Feng family's army and the grain merchants!In this way, no matter which side benefits, no matter what the outcome of the siege is, both sides will be hostile!
It's really deliberate to deal with the Feng family!Even things after the siege are counted.

Zhou Hai's face was solemn, thinking that he almost fell into someone else's trick again, and felt a burst of resentment in his heart.

After a while of silence, someone asked: "Then what should we do? Zhou Yichang still has prestige among the grain merchants. His remarks are both true and false, and some people will win their trust!"

"Yes, those grain merchants may believe him and insist on not letting go. Even if they are dubious, the army is short of food, and it is difficult for them to figure it out! What will the soldiers do about this delay?"

Wu Lun said slowly: "After noon today, the army will run out of food! The Feng family's food storage has been taken out, and there is really no more. Today's breakfast, the soldiers all drink porridge. I think that at nightfall, the enemy will attack again."

"Your Highness, what shall we do next?"

After asking this sentence, all the generals looked at Feng Wei in unison.

These generals are absolutely good at commanding troops, attacking and assisting the encirclement of the enemy, everything is easy, but in terms of managing the city and responding to the crisis of the conspiracy, they are much worse, and it can even be said to be incompetent.

Feng Ling and Feng Junzhuo had usually made decisions on some important and confidential matters, but now the former is unconscious and the latter is trapped somewhere, and they alone are really powerless.

From yesterday's order in the study to today's handling in the camp, Fengwei's response was reasonable and methodical, which was obvious to all.

So, subconsciously, they all set their eyes on her.

In just one day, Fengwei's ability has already won their approval.

But faced with the dilemma of not being able to rob by force, and lacking food in the retreat, what should be done so as not to be as good as the people behind the scenes?

The generals had no idea, looked at Feng Wei with a little lack of energy in anticipation,

The latter groaned and did not speak. In the eyes of the generals, she naturally had nothing to do about this kind of silence.

In disappointment, everyone looked at Feng Wei who had changed her appearance. She still had a delicate and handsome face with a slightly youthful face, and a slightly thin figure. They all thought to themselves: Your Highness is still too young after all, and has been The queen commander's wings have been maintained, and his understanding of these conspiracies is still limited.

No matter how bad we are at these things, we have been immersed for many years more than her, and we are always influenced by the outsiders. We have nothing to do, and His Highness has nothing to do, and it should be.

Thinking about it, Wu Lun sighed, and was about to say something, but Feng Wei spoke at this moment.

"Severe illness needs strong medicine! This strategy is not without flaws. In the final analysis, the attitude of the grain merchants is the most critical. The designer used Zhou Yichang as the leading pawn because Changji is also a grain merchant. It is easier to agree with the interests and positions of the grain merchants!"

Tapping a few times with her fingers, Feng Wei smiled, "Since that's the case, we can use the same method to break it!"

All the generals were confused, especially Zhou Hai, who was even more confused, but Wu Lun was thoughtful and seemed to understand.

"Your Highness, are you saying that you have a solution?" Zhou Hai asked impatiently.

Feng Wei nodded, "Yes. But I still need the help of your uncles."

Yang Zizheng pondered for a while, then tentatively asked: "Use the same method to break it? Could it be that His Highness meant to agree to Zhou Yichang's request to buy his family's food with cash, allow him to benefit, and let him speak for us instead?" ?”

"What?!" Zhou Hai suddenly jumped up and yelled, "Aren't you going to bow your head to that bastard?! That's not acceptable! He has humiliated our Feng family army in front of so many people, and we still have to give him Shunmao?! Yang Zizheng, what are you talking about?!"

He said angrily and turned to Feng Wei, "Your Highness! If this is the case, I might as well snatch it by force! The reputation of Feng's army has been lost! Let alone! What if Zhou Yichang has eaten the sweetness and still won't let go? We were humiliated and tricked by him for nothing!"

Feng Wei turned her head to look at him, and said with a slight smile: "Uncle Zhou is very right, he is very eloquent." She reached into her bosom, took out a stack of plain paper, and put it on the desk in front of her , "This is something that I asked Uncle Ling to help investigate. Because of the limited time, not many were found, but what was found all vaguely pointed to Chang Ji."

"Zhou Yichang is probably a pawn that those people arranged in the open to deal with our Feng family! Therefore, he will not change his words. He will only take our money and then publicize it!"

Things have come to a dead end again, it is not feasible to bribe Zhou Yichang, where should we start?Changji has been operating in Qiyang for many years, and is known as the No. [-] grain store in the eastern capital. Other grain merchants do not have his influence and have little effect.

"What does your Highness mean?"

Feng Wei lowered her eyes and said slowly: "Businessmen are after profit, but there is a saying in the world, "It is better to give up a thousand taels of gold than to give up half a cent of your life." I don't know if this is a choice between gain and sacrifice, profit and life. When it comes to the present, how will those grain merchants choose?"

Zhou Hai opened his eyes wide, and asked in a daze: "Life? Is His Highness going to tie up all those grain merchants and threaten them with their lives? But in this case, isn't it still the same as robbery?"

It's better than grabbing it by force!he thought.But vaguely, he felt that what he said was not quite right. Even a rough man like him could understand the things in it, so there is no reason for His Highness not to understand?

Feng Wei smiled faintly, put her hands on the table back into her sleeves, and said: "Of course not! I want them to volunteer food to the Feng family!" At this point, she changed the subject and looked at the bewildered All the generals said with a smile, "This matter requires the help of your uncles!"

After finishing speaking, she explained her arrangement in a low voice, and the generals nodded after hearing this. Zhou Hai couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, and kept saying, "Hey! I must be here! You all don't want to compete with me!" Ah! Whoever robs me is in a hurry!"
