Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2154 Those who seek others also seek

  In many cases, people are always used to imagining the good, and then ignore the mistakes, and often suffer some setbacks because of this. It's just that when some people encounter setbacks, they will first reflect on themselves, while some people will find some excuses from others to relieve themselves.

  It's all so-and-so's fault...

  If it weren't for whoever did it, then this thing wouldn't happen...

  Since there is such a problem, why didn't someone point it out before, and now I'm talking about it...

   and so on.

  But now among the three assistants in Guanzhong, Que Yi and others are like this.

   Groups that form alliances because of interests will eventually split because of interests.

  When they found that things were not changing as they expected, and even started to move towards an uncontrollable area, these people each had their own thoughts. Profit is the glue. As long as there are fresh leeks to cut, everyone will laugh. Once the leeks are gone, they will naturally look sad.

  In the courtyard, the voices of all kinds of tongues are intertwined. It seems that everyone wants to express their attitude and show their ideas, but they are unwilling to listen to the words of others, which is somewhat chaotic.

   Among the gentry, there has always been an atmosphere of pursuing luxury and nobility. Of course, these gentry children among the three assistants in Guanzhong are not exempt. In particular, these local big families are inferior to Wei Duan and others in terms of power, so they naturally want to pursue a balance of luxury, so in the hall, the things used are all expensive.

But now, no one has the time to spend on these expensive utensils, which can be used to compare and show off on weekdays. Nowadays, no one will take a second look. Everyone is eager to express their thoughts, often Before this person finished speaking, the next person interrupted him.

  Your own interests are the most important, and you need to guarantee your own interests no matter what. The problems of others are nothing, and you must not suffer!

Sitting in the living room, Queyi was surrounded by noisy voices, even if he was talking about calming down and stabilizing his aura all day long, but all kinds of thoughts were rolling in his mind at the moment, and there was no way to maintain a turmoil In a calm state, although he was drinking tea with a teacup in his hand, his thoughts were not on the tea at all, and he had even drank the teacup to nothing, and he was still holding it up and drinking it empty-handed.

  In the hall, the people involved in this matter have been discussing for almost an hour, but not even a fart can be settled...

  The main reason is that these people are not the core characters, and the core characters will not appear in occasions with so many people.

Some people didn’t believe it at first, so they sent people to investigate again, and found that Taiyuan Wang’s rice shop started to sell “parity price”, that is, when selling grain at a price slightly lower than the average grain price they pushed up, These people immediately became angry, and said in unison that the Taiyuan Wang family is a traitor! He is the scum of the Shanxi gentry! It's the pug following the hussars!

  They have worked so hard to push up the price of food. If Ren Wang did this, wouldn't it be a wedding dress for someone?

   Then after indignantly denouncing Taiyuan Wang, they fell into chaos.

  Some people think that now that the external situation has changed, they should not continue to push up food prices, and just accept as soon as they are good. Although they don’t make much money, they still make some money. Don't look at the current price of grain and grass seems to be quite high, but if you say that the profits these people earn are actually not a lot, because you need to control the price of grain and grass, you have to buy some scattered sources of goods, and in the process, increase the price to buy It is indispensable, and the transportation and storage expenses also require a certain cost, so if the grain and grass are sold at the current price, it can only be regarded as a small profit.

  And once a large amount of grain is sold, it means that the price of grain and grass will drop rapidly, so it is actually not bad to be able to maintain a balance in the end.

Some other people disagree. Since they still do it, giving up halfway means giving up all previous efforts. If certain conditions cannot be met this time, making Feiqian make a certain compromise, then when the market recovers, Feiqian will turn around. When cleaning up, there was no money, no food, and even if you wanted to fight, you had no bargaining chips.

  『Since we have already started, we must stand firm to the end! Already matched, and retracted halfway, others saw it, it was really a joke! What's more, even if you stop now, others won't hold grudges? On the contrary, it will make people see our hypocrisy, and when the time comes to deal with us, it will be even more unscrupulous! 』

  『Didn’t you think that the grain and grass were insufficient before, but now who knows that grain is transferred from the east of the river! This shot is Wanshi! If there is more after this, what shall we do? eat them all? Where did so much money come from? 』

"Everyone, everyone, don't be afraid, haven't we all calculated this, the food and grass for the hussars are just enough for now, not to mention that a batch will be sent to the surrounding area soon, there must be a shortage of food, it can't be said These grains from the east of the river were originally intended to be sent to Youzhou, pretending to be abundant to scare us! 』

  As the host of the meeting, Que Yi really couldn't listen any longer. He felt that when the discussion continued like this, when would there be a final result, so he couldn't help but asked loudly: "Brother Yang! Brother Yang! I don't know about this, what can I learn? ! 』

  The crowd was full of quarrels, everyone had ideas, everyone had ideas, but Yang Shuo was still sitting among them, closing his eyes and resting his mind, as if he didn't realize it. Hearing Queyi's questioning voice at this time, he slowly opened his eyes and smiled, "Is this just an outsider, is this matter..."

"Uh? How could brother Yang speak like that? It's so weird! 』

  『We all follow Brother Yang’s order, please be quiet! Everyone be quiet! I also ask Yang Xiong to enlighten me! 』

"Yep! Please enlighten me, Brother Yang! 』

  When the few big households sitting at the top heard this, they were immediately unhappy, and they kept talking, with an earnest attitude.

  But most of those who do bad things have a common subconscious mind, that is, they like to drag people into the water. From shocking corruption cases to petty theft, this seems to be the case.

  Although the Yang family is no longer glorious in the past, it still has a shelf, so Yang Shuo naturally became the favorite of these people. How could it be possible for Yang Shuo to easily separate the relationship and get rid of this place of right and wrong?

  Yang Shuo smiled, and said: "Is there a countermeasure... but if you really want to do it... I'm afraid you won't be able to turn back..."

"Now that the hussars are out, there is room for change..." Although Yang Shuo's tone was calm, the words he uttered were astonishing. It was a catastrophe...'

  『Brother Yang! But Yi took a deep breath, "Brother Yang means..."

  Yang Shuo shook his head, "I didn't say anything...I'm just worried about these refugees..."

  Everyone in the hall suddenly fell silent, and then you looked at me and I looked at you, and the breath gradually became heavy...

In fact, most of these big households in Chang’an Sanfu were leeks harvested from various places in the Western Han Dynasty. Those who are grateful to the big man may be dissatisfied with ten fingers.

  During the Rebellion of Western Qiang Emperor Lingdi of the Han Dynasty, although most of the battles were fought in Youfufeng and Longxi, did Zuofengyi and other places have no influence at all when the army crossed the border? Among them, there are ups and downs in the family business, and it is also common for the first movers to fall and the latecomers to take the lead.

Nowadays, although all families take Guanlong as the foundation of their family business and have many connections with each other, they are far from harmonious and intimate. They may have good family relationships with each other, but there are also feuds, even in the same family. Within the family, there are also those who have different intimacy due to the distance of the relationship, and even do not communicate with each other in old age and death.

Therefore, the rich and powerful families in Guanzhong Sanfu and other places are different from the gentry system in Yuzhou, Jizhou, and even Jingzhou and Xuzhou. Yuan and others, there are also people like Que Yi and others who were assimilated by Shandong, and others like Wei Duan who are strong and fall over there...

  Some of the big surnames in the old Qin period in Longyou still had the idea of ​​being the first in military exploits, but the big families like Queyi and others who had been assimilated by the Shandong gentry felt that the land was everything they needed to survive. Therefore, after Feiqian implemented the Juetian system, some people, especially the old Qin of Longyou, basically had no opinion. In addition, those who had obtained military merits in several battles also supported it, so Que Yi and others had no opinion. What is the weight of talking, I can only hold my nose and bear it for the time being.

  As D-day approached, these people finally couldn't sit still. It was quite rare to abandon some gaps between the original households and gather together to plan countermeasures. Only then did this food fluctuation occur.

  For these people, who want to fight for their own interests, but are afraid of completely turning against Fei Qian, it is best for both parties to take a step back, and finally reach a result acceptable to both parties.

  The law does not blame the public, does it?

   What's more, now that the hussars are outside, the control of Guanzhong will naturally be relaxed. If you don't act now, you will have to wait for the next opportunity, and you don't know that it is the Year of the Horse Moon and Monkey...

However, hoarding and raising food prices are more or less in the scope of business. Even if it is a bit too much, the problem is not too big. All the big salt and iron merchants in the world have been killed, and if the time comes, if things fail, and some blood and money are spent, it will be over.

  And Yang Shuo's suggestion is completely different...

   Encouraging the refugees to rebel will cost their heads, so most of the people present hesitated.

  Yang Shuo glanced left and right, and said with a sneer: "Everyone, don't forget... With the current price of food and grass, this chaos of refugees... I'm afraid it will only happen sooner or later..."

"what…"

"this…"

  Hearing Yang Shuo's words, everyone couldn't help but feel a little headache. Because what Yang Shuo said is indeed a possibility of future evolution, there is still a great chance...

  The price of grain and grass is soaring, the market is out of stock, and there are more and more refugees in Jingzhou. Isn't it a little turbulent, or a riot? Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, somewhat panicked for a while.

  Yang Shuo sat in it, as if he had a plan in mind, but in fact he was also uneasy.

The last time Yang Shuo was involved, he thought he was just giving an idea, and then he could get away. Unexpectedly, after reporting to Yang Xiu, Yang Xiu asked Yang Shuo to return to Chang'an and report everything to Pang Tong. Bian received a new order, which is "Refugees"...

Yang Shuo could more or less guess what Yang Xiu was thinking, but he basically had no clue about Pang Tong's intentions, but now it was impossible to go back and ask Yang Xiu, so he could only pretend to be calm on the outside, But my heart is full of panic...

  Leaving aside Yang Shuo and others for now, at this moment, Yang Xiu who was in Luoyang also rushed to Hongnong Huayin to meet Yang Biao.

  Since Yang Biao failed in the battle for supremacy, in order not to cause unnecessary troubles, Yang Biao pretended to be a hermit, "hiding in the city", and let Yang Xiu handle the main matters, while he retreated to the second line.

  In the Han Dynasty, hermits were born with a layer of protective clothing. No matter who it is, it is always disgusting to kill hermits and sages without permission. Even if Chonger is determined to kill Jie Zitui to silence his mouth, he still needs to use the name of the mountain fire. After all, with Jin Wengong's great talent, it is impossible for him to act like an idiot and think that a person who has to carry his mother on his back will run faster than the mountain fire, otherwise, what would be the face of those animals that were buried in the sea of ​​fire...

  So when Yang Biao stepped back, he somewhat meant to wash his hands in the golden basin. Now that he had washed his hands in the golden basin, he had some protective clothing for letting go of the past and becoming a Buddha immediately. It is precisely because of this in history that although Cao Cao killed Yang Xiu, he still treated Yang Biao with some courtesy. However, washing your hands in the golden basin does not mean that you are really a master of the world, ignore the worldly things, and still have to eat, drink, **** and fart. When Yang Xiu found Yang Biao, Yang Biao also affirmed won't be missing.

  "Xiu'er's concerns..." Yang Biao stroked his beard slightly, "It makes sense...it's just that it's too late. 』

  Yang Xiu also nodded, and said: "The child knows it too, but it happened suddenly, and it couldn't be completely resolved..."

  Yang Biao hummed.

For the Yang family, the relationship with these big households in Guanzhong Sanfu is not very good, and from a certain point of view, the Yang family was originally supposed to represent the Shanxi gentry and Shandong to contend, but in many cases, the Yang family actually did it instead. Selling Shanxi's interests in exchange for Yang's own interests. Yang Biao's wife was born in the Yuan family. She is the great-granddaughter of Situ Yuan'an and the elder of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Therefore, it is said that the Yang family is completely Shandongized, and there is basically no problem.

  Everything has pros and cons. When Yang Biao married Yuan Shi, there were naturally many benefits, but now it has become a disadvantage. The Yuan family in Runan has fallen, and only the Yang family is left as the signboard of the fourth generation and the third lord. However, the leader of the Shanxi gentry is no longer the Yang family, but the young and prosperous Fei Qian...

Because of Cai Yong's matter, even if the Yang family donated the loser's property and materials to help Fei Qian succeed, he might not be able to get anything in return. Money, continue to increase the pressure on them, and it will be even more difficult for them to resist.

  So, before Yang's power is not strong enough, Yang Xiu can only choose not to provoke Fei Qian as much as possible. Yang Shuo turned from a participant to an informer, which is a kind of necessity.

   It's just that the matter is not over here...

  『Father... 』Yang Xiu said, 『I came here this time to ask my lord for advice, can you...』

  Yang Biao pondered for a moment, then raised his head slightly, signaling Yang Xiu to look up.

  In the main hall of Yang Biao's so-called "grass cottage" where he lived in seclusion, there is a plaque of "four knowledges" hanging.

  Yang Xiu glanced at it, and then turned his eyes, his expression changed, "My lord father means... Could it be that here..."

  Yang Biao shook his head and said, "Not necessarily here, but in Luoyang, there must be hussar eyeliner... Besides, Xu County... probably also has... so this matter...you need to be careful..."

  Yang Xiu took a breath, then stopped talking.

The stronger Fei Qian is, the greater the threat to the Yang family, and the Yang family who is sandwiched between things, if the power comparison between Fei Qian and Cao Cao is more similar, then it means that the Yang family has more opportunities to develop , the more you can have both sides. Didn't the Hongnong Yang family get rich because they served as a bridge between Guanzhong Sanfu and Shandong counties? Walking this road again now, although you may not be familiar with it, at least you have some experience.

So after Zuo Fengyi's hoarding incident happened, Yang Xiu immediately decided to sell out those Guanzhong Sanfu people. Civil unrest, or the defection of the gentry, or defection, etc., are all beneficial to the Yang family.

  Yang Xiu even felt that this matter could be secretly sold to Cao Cao, but he felt a little uncertain, so he came to ask Yang Biao for advice...

  『Xiu’er...』 Yang Biao sighed, 『The tree that embraces you is born at the end of a hair; Now that the Yang family is accumulating dust and keeping a low profile, he must not be too impatient to let others handle him... What's more Poor... This matter is sudden, if you act rashly, there must be a loophole...』

"What's more...those who plan people, people also plan them," Yang Biao looked at Yang Xiu, and said earnestly, "Under the four knowledges, there is still the word of caution...you plan here, how do you know that Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan and others have How calculated? 』

  Yang Xiu frowned, remained silent for a while, finally sighed, and said: "In this case, we can only sit and watch..."

Young people always think that they can shake the wind and rain, that they can rejuvenate the country with one word, and defeat the country with one action. For example, they always feel that they are the luckiest cub. No, it’s just a matter of getting out, but in fact, if you are not careful, you will fall straight into the abyss, and you can’t escape at all...

  Yang Biao looked at his own chives, um, Yang Xiu, stroked his beard, and said, "The Hussars certainly have eyeliners everywhere... Could it be that General Cao has no one in Guanzhong?" Don't forget, this time the hussars went south to Jingxiang, but there are many refugees from Jingzhou...』

  Yang Xiu raised his eyebrows, "My lord father meant this..."

  Yang Biao smiled and said, "Let's watch it." 』

  『Only. 』Yang Xiu clicked to answer.

  The father and son looked at each other and smiled, as if preparing to watch a good show...
