The king behind the empress

Chapter 60 Second Invitation to the Xunzhou Family
When Zhang Hu was about to leave, Zhang Yuan suddenly remembered something and called Zhang Hu to a stop.

"Zhang Hu, those people I told you to watch, nothing happened, right?"

As early as when Tang Shuyu died in battle, Zhang Yuan felt that something was wrong, so there was no need for Mo Zizi to remind him, he had already sent someone to secretly monitor the every move of those generals.

"Return to Uncle, not yet, they are all acting normal."

"Well, keep an eye on it."

Zhang Yuan looked a little serious, and said: "After we kill these aristocratic families, the food and wages should be solved, and they will definitely do it by then."

"Should, it shouldn't?"

Zhang Hu hesitated, "After all, if we lose, Da Zhou may be in danger of overthrowing. They shouldn't be so unwise, right?"

"If those people cared about Da Zhou, they wouldn't have attacked Tang Shuyu in the first place."

Zhang Yuan snorted coldly, full of disdain for those aristocratic families, "Now, that kid Mo Zizai is working in the capital. Although I don't know what he has to rely on, the aristocratic family will definitely not watch him torment."

"At that time, the aristocratic family will either attack him or our side, and will definitely choose a point to break through."

"But that kid has no taboos in the capital, and there is that old Qiu Wuping who is secretly protecting him, so no matter how you look at it, we are easy to bully."

"This...I know."

Zhang Hu nodded fiercely, and secretly decided in his heart that when he returned, he would increase the monitoring level of these generals by a few levels, so as to avoid any accidents when he got there.

……

The place where Zhang Yuan entertained everyone was replaced by a very spacious other courtyard. People from the aristocratic families and chambers of commerce came one after another, and soon the other courtyard was full.

Chairman Zhu kept turning the two iron gallbladders in his hands. Seeing that Zhang Yuan hadn't arrived yet, he moved the stool a little, moved a little closer to Feng Youcai, and asked, "Mr. Feng, Zhang Yuan said that the court issued 400 million taels Xingyin, is this true?"

"President Zhu is in business, isn't the news more sensitive than the old man?"

Feng Youcai was obviously in a bad mood, and he replied directly to President Zhu's temptation, "I'm afraid President Zhu is also very clear about how the 400 million taels came from."

Hearing Feng Youcai's unfriendly tone, President Zhu didn't mind. After all, Feng Youcai had always followed the path of the Ministry of Accounting. Feng Youcai should have something to do with the servant who died this time, and he should be in a bad mood. .

To put it bluntly, many of the 400 million taels may have been contributed by Feng Youcai, so it would be strange if he was in a good mood.

"Mr. Feng, it's not that Zhu intended to probe, it's just that this matter is too shocking."

President Zhu's face was squeezed by the fat, his eyes gleamed, and he said cautiously: "Beheading a third-rank official in court, Zhu has never heard of such an excessive thing since the beginning of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"That little boy Mo Zizai, relying on his status and completely ignoring the court's laws and regulations, is really a great disaster for the court."

"The empress is even more useless. Seeing that child's cholera is beyond the standard, she doesn't punish her at all. Such a big week will be destroyed by their hands sooner or later!"

"Ok?"

Feng You, who didn't take President Zhu's words to heart at first, heard this, and suddenly felt a slight movement in his heart. He secretly raised his head and observed the fat man who looked like an upstart in front of him, and said calmly: "President Zhu slanders you so much. The imperial court, what do you want to say?"

President Zhu carefully looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to this side, so he moved the stool closer to Feng Youcai, and then said in a very soft voice: "I don't know, did Mr. Feng send someone to contact the people over there?" people?"

"there?"

Feng Youcai was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized that President Zhu was talking about people from the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces. He gave President Zhu a slight look, and his heart was full of contempt.

The reason for the contempt is not because President Zhu wants to treason the country and surrender to the enemy, but because it is unwise for President Zhu to contact the enemy country before the situation is clear. No wonder he can only be the president of a chamber of commerce.

People from aristocratic families like them will never make a move until the last moment. Although the rewards are small, the victory lies in stability and low risk. This is the way of life for the aristocratic family to survive for a long time.

However, Feng Youcai pondered for a while, and felt that it would be good to hear about the conditions of the Three Kingdoms Allied Forces, so he also lowered his voice and asked, "What do you say over there?"

Seeing that Feng Youcai didn't directly refuse, the head of the Zhu family knew that this matter had great potential, so he said in a low voice: "As Duke Feng, if Duke Feng has the heart, he can reserve the position of governor for Duke Feng."

"The governor?"

Feng Youcai nodded slightly. The sincerity of the Allied Forces of the Three Kingdoms is not bad. In addition to the sheriff, the highest status in a county is the county magistrate and the county lieutenant. The second in command.

That's why Feng Youcai was a little tempted by this position, but he didn't show it, but said lightly: "Thank you, President Zhu, I understand."

"Feng Gong, you're welcome, just report to the group to keep warm."

Hearing that Feng Youcai did not explicitly refuse, President Zhu instantly knew that the matter was settled, and immediately stopped talking, but asked about Zhang Yuan's reason for inviting them this time.

"Feng Gong, Lord Hou is not short of money. This time, he invited me here to buy some food and grass. What do you think?"

President Zhu didn't hide his words. After hearing this, the people in the courtyard stopped talking and turned their attention to Feng Youcai.

As the head of the largest family in Xunyang City, his attitude can largely determine how they should deal with this matter.

"This old man is really powerless."

Feng Youcai glanced at the person who was staring at him, and said slowly: "The last time Lord Hou came to ask, the old man said that there is no food left at home. Does President Zhu think the old man is lying?"

"Just this morning, the old man also received a message from the capital, saying that the country is in trouble, and we should do our best to help, but if it is difficult, we must do what we can."

Hearing the words "do according to our ability", everyone instantly understood what Feng Youcai meant.

Feng Youcai's family background, Zhang Yuan doesn't know if they locals can still know, what kind of shit has no food left, and it's all nonsense to do what we can.

It was clear that someone in the court didn't want to make Zhang Yuan happy, or wanted to show the unruly King Zizai a little color, and let him know that sometimes even if he has money, he can't buy food and grass.

However, everyone has no intention of objecting to this matter, because according to the provisions of stabilizing grain prices during wartime, even if Zhang Yuan buys grain and grass, he will not pay too high a price.

And now that the food price has risen so high, if they buy the food and grass in their hands at a fair price, they will definitely not be happy.

In addition, now that Feng Youcai said that someone in the capital has spoken, in this case, they will naturally form a group to resist Zhang Yuan.
