Chapter 165
I have to say that Wen Lianggong’s plan is very beautiful. Unfortunately, no matter how good the plan is, it is just a plan after all.
Zheng Mingxuan, who had already moved out of Lin'an City, came back, but Wen Lianggong did not expect it; Jia Sidao actually knew Zheng Mingxuan, he also did not expect it; Jia Sidao could convince Zheng Mingxuan to help, and Zheng Mingxuan was so hard, he did not expect it.
He also did not expect that the merchants who were secretly hiding and helping Jia Sidao raise food and colluding with Zheng Mingxuan. Such accidents made his plan on the verge of miscarriage.
Wen Lianggong couldn't figure out who gave them so much courage and actually dared to go against him. But the facts were already in front of him. Now the nobleman in the court seemed to have used up all the means, and now he seemed to have to settle for the second best choice to temporarily retreat to reduce his losses.
It was already this time, and Wen Shannan was still fanning the flames in it. How could Wen Lianggong not be angry?
"Brother Yixuan, it's not that Suichang is unwilling to tell you brothers, but that noble man doesn't want to show up. If Brother Yixuan must know, then I can't say it. But after saying it, if that noble man makes him angry with you..."
Wen Lianggong didn't finish his words afterwards, but everyone knew what the words left meant.
Qiu Shuyu, Shan Yudong and Shan Deyan all changed their faces, and then they looked at Wen Shannan who was still drinking slowly.
Seeing this scene, Wen Lianggong's face became even more gloomy.
I originally wanted to take this opportunity to firmly control all the six families and form an alliance led by the Wen family. Now it seems that not only is it a waste of money, but Wen Shannan has a chance. It is obvious that Qiu Shuyu, Shan Yudong and Shan Deyan are the only ones who are the leader of Wen Shannan.
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a little bit wide. Qian Hengduo looked at Wen Shannan, who was not panicked in surprise, then looked at Wen Lianggong, who was as heavy as water, lowered his head and seemed to focus on the wine table in front of him, but no one saw the strong sarcasm in Qian Hengduo's eyes when he lowered his eyebrows.
How could Qian Hengduo be a mediocre person who can only stand tall today?
"Haha, I wonder what kind of noble man should do about the grain stored in our warehouse now?"
Fortunately, Wen Shannan didn't seem to really want to break up with Wen Lianggong, and smiled slightly at Wen Lianggong.
"I wonder how much grain is stored in your warehouse?" Wen Shannan finally made Wen Lianggong's face clear without pursuing the truth. However, after saying that, Wen Lianggong saw that the faces of the people in the hall changed. He immediately realized that he had committed a taboo. These things were everyone's business secrets. He hurriedly said: "I have no other intentions, but that noble man needs to know that we can store grain in the warehouse to make arrangements. I will throw bricks and attract jade here first. I have 1.3 million stones of grain in my grain silo."
As soon as Wen Lianggong said, all the five people present changed their faces, but the meaning of the change of their faces was different.
Qian Hengduo and Qiu Shuyu were surprised, while Wen Shannan smiled without saying a word.
I didn't think it was before, but I just didn't know why. Today, Wen Lianggong was smiling at Wen Shannan's unexplained smile, and he felt uncomfortable no matter how he looked at it, and he felt weird no matter how he looked at it.
Perhaps, it is in line with the old saying that there are ghosts in your heart and everyone will have ghosts.
"Ahem, there are 700,000 stones in my Wen family warehouse." Wen Shannan glanced at Wen Lianggong and said to himself.
Qiu Shuyu, Shan Yudong and Shan Deyan were all fine, but Wen Lianggong and Qian Hengduo were both shocked when they heard Wen Shannan's words.
"Brother Yixuan has opened a warehouse to sell grain?" Wen Lianggong looked at Wen Shannan and said sinisterly.
Although Qian Hengduo, who was sitting in the change, did not speak, his unpleasant expression showed that he obviously had the same idea as Wen Lianggong.
The three families have been stockpiling grain since the New Year. In addition, the grain they stocked up for winemaking before, although each family did not explain how much grain they had, Wen Lianggong and Qian Hengduo thought that Qian Wenwen must have one million stone of grain each, but it just depends on which one is the most.
"Haha, Brother Suichang said it well. Not long ago, Liu Ji once asked me to buy 300,000 stones of grain."
Wen Shannan seemed to have no concern at all about Wen Lianggong's dissatisfaction, unexpectedly without any concealment, and said bluntly.
"Liu Ji? Liu Ji from Hele Tower?" Qian Hengduo said in confusion.
"It's this person." Wen Shannan was not surprised that Qian Hengduo knew Liu Ji at all. After all, Qian Hengduo was a regular visitor to all major ****s.
"Then Liu Ji is doing a gold and silver business, and he is running a ****. Why does he need so much food? Did Brother Suichang ask that Liu Ji?" Wen Lianggong frowned and said unhappily.
Wen Lianggong knew Liu Ji's background. He had a close relationship with Yuan Fu. It is said that when Yuan Fu was still alive, he had to rely on Liu Ji's support to achieve his current journey, so Yuan Fu took great care of Liu Ji.
This is a proof that Yuan Fu is pure and kind, so it is no secret in the court and the country. Even though Liu Ji still runs the business of the yard, Yuan Fu has never shy away from his relationship with Liu Ji.
"Then Liu Ji had a close relationship with Mr. Yuan in the court, and Mr. Yuan and Mr. Li were the same as Mr. Li, so Yixuan was naturally not easy to refuse." Wen Shannan said for a long time, but only expressed one meaning, that is, everyone was in the same group, and I had to look at Buddha's faces if I didn't look at monks, right? So I didn't ask anything and sold the food to him.
"..." Wen Lianggong was stuck in a stagnation by Wen Shannan, and there were Qiu Shuyu, Shan Yudong and Shan Deyan next to him. He couldn't tell what he said, so he had to snort coldly and stop talking.
"My Qian Mansion has 1.1 million stones of grain." Qian Hengduo said in a muffled voice.
"Qiu's warehouse has more than 200,000 stones of grain."
"There are 300,000 stones of grain in Shan's warehouse."
"There are 300,000 stones of grain in a warehouse in Shan."
Qian Hengduo finished speaking, Qiu Shuyu, Shan Yudong and Shan Deyan followed closely behind.
If Jia Sidao heard the conversation of the six of them here at this time, he would have wanted to tear up these six old people. He worked hard to raise grain and could not get food everywhere. The six of them had controlled nearly four million stones in their hands. Seeing more than one million victims outside the city eating bran and bran, they took all the grains into their hands to seek profit. No big thief in the country would be like this.
"In this way, our six families have nearly four million stones of grain in their hands. The noble man in the court said that Sichuan, Xiangyang, Lin'an and Huizhou are now short of food everywhere. He can persuade His Majesty to buy the three million stones of grain in our hands with 60% of the market price, but now it is empty in the Chinese treasury..."
"Without silver, my Wen family will definitely not sell food."
Wen Shannan interrupted Wen Lianggong's words and said slowly.
"Brother Yixuan..."
"Isn't my brother-in-law not helping you? That noble man obviously treats me like a monkey. If he doesn't have silver, he wants the food in his hands. Isn't that a fuss? We can understand that there is no silver in the court, but our silver is not blown by the strong wind. Our silver is also saved up by one copper comb and one copper comb. Brother Yixuan this time I think what I said is right. If there is no silver, even if the noble man is the emperor, if he doesn't give the silver, I will not sell a grain of food."
"Mr. Wen, it's not that we deliberately made things difficult for Mr. Wen. It's really because our family is small and our business is small. Our family and life are all on these hundreds of thousands of stones of grain. I would rather earn less money."
Qiu Shuyu and the other two quickly intervened.
Are you mistaken? These foods may be a drop in the bucket for you three families, but for us pawns, our lives are really under pressure. If you say that if you need food in the court, you want to take all our lives and think that others are fools? After all, isn’t that noble person who wants to use our money to please the emperor?
He glared at Wen Shannan fiercely, and Wen Liang smiled respectfully and said, "Brothers, don't worry, don't worry, can you hear me finish your words?"
At this moment, Wen Lianggong was already anxious about Wen Shannan. When did he need to be so humble to others, and when did he ask you to help?
"Brother Suichang said slowly, let's listen." Wenshannan said slowly.
Looking at Wen Shannan who was not in a hurry at all and was sitting firmly on Diaoyutai, Wen Lianggong felt aroused in his heart. He felt that he seemed to have grasped something.
Wen Shannan was too calm, and what was calm was that everyone could feel abnormal. It was already at this time, and the food in his hand was almost impossible to sell, so it was millions of taels of silver. Even for the Wen family, millions of taels of silver were not something they could take out.
But that's it, Wen Shannan can do this, so the only explanation seems to be that he is confident or confident in selling all the food in his hands.
"Three million stones of grain, if all brothers are willing to ask for a son, the court will pay the money in full at the current market price..."
"This matter is even worse..."
"Brother Yixuan, someone has bought the grain in your warehouse? Of course, you are not in a hurry, but what should you do if you have the rest of your brothers do? That is the lives of your brothers."
"Brother Suichang, where do you start with this? Why can't I understand? The 700,000 stones of grain are in the warehouse, and Brother Suichang can check it at any time." Wen Shannan blinked, spreading his hands and looked innocent.
"Hmph!" The more he did this, Wen Lianggong was more sure that Wen Shannan had sold the grain, at least he had found a buyer. Now, the Song Dynasty was able to eat so much grain in one bite and was willing to buy so much grain, so there were only a few people or one or two people.
But how could Wen Shannan do such a thing? Did he think that the food in his hands could not be sold? After this incident, Qian Wen and five other families joined forces to squeeze his Wen family. How dare he?
Wen Lianggong didn't know what benefits he had received to make Wen Shannan, who had always been cautious and careful in calculating, turned against him at this time. Wen Lianggong didn't know, but he knew that the other party had already started to move. If he didn't handle the food matter, the consequences would be even more unimaginable.
