"Food?"
Zhou Heng didn't expect Mu Guang to be a businessman, and he couldn't tell it from Mu Guang at all.
Mu Guang nodded in the face of the surrounding doubts, "Our family is in the food business in Chibi City. About a month ago, people from the Tian family found us and said that they would do business with us and make a fortune together."
Mu Guang explained the matter to Zhou Heng.
People from the Tian family found the Mu family and wanted to use the Mu family's business to buy food.
Because the Mu family does a lot of business in the southeast, basically all grain merchants in the southeast have relations with the Mu family.
This is actually not a serious or dangerous thing. As long as you buy food in accordance with the law, you can buy as much food as you want.
The Tian family wanted to monopolize all the food in the southeast, which made the Mu family feel a little disgusted.
?They are in business, and they pay attention to making money with harmony, leaving a way for others, so that they can meet each other in the future.
If the Mu family monopolizes the grain, it is tantamount to offending all the grain merchants, and it is smashing their own brand.
Moreover, the Mu family knew the origin of the Tian family's money, which was the money collected by Tian Nong using his status as the magistrate to collect taxes.
This is ill-gotten wealth. Once the court finds out, the Tian family may not be harmed much. After all, it is one of the six major families, but what about the Mu family?
There is only one ending for the Mu family, and that is to exterminate the nine clans.
The Mu family resolutely rejected the Tian family, unwilling to do business with the Tian family.
The Tian family was rejected by the Mu family, so angrily charged the Mu family with an unwarranted charge, and directly put Mu Guang's father in prison.
The Tian family annexed all of the Mu family's property in less than half a month, and the things inside it actually make people shiver even if they don't talk about it.
This is a matter of extortion.
But apart from resentment and resentment, who can say anything? The background of the Tian family is here.
The Mu family was ruined overnight.
In a fit of rage, Mu Guang assassinated Tian Nong in the street, but he was a magistrate, how could he not have help when he was away from home, Mu Guang was not an opponent and was taken down by Tian Nong.
In order to warn those restless people, Tian Nong tied Mu Guang to the execution ground, and let everyone see what happened to Tian Nong if he offended him.
Later, Pang Zhong and Zhen Feng couldn't see it, so they robbed the court overnight.
Because of this incident, the three of them offended Tian Nong and became the so-called gangsters who did all kinds of crimes.
"I see!"
Zhou Heng didn't expect such a story to exist.
"According to what you said, there is a collusion between the government and businessmen in Chibi City. Tian Nong uses his status as the magistrate to collect taxes, and then buys a large amount of grain and grass with the tax money."
Zhou Heng deduced it.
"That's right!"
Mu Guang nodded.
At this time Zhou Heng finally understood what Guangminglou Xiaoer said. He said that the granaries in Chibi City were already full. The money to buy grain and grass, plus the grain and grass collected, can indeed fill the granary.
"Your Highness, what is the Tian family going to do?"
Pang Zhong asked curiously, what is the purpose of hoarding so much food and grass, gold, silver and jewelry are justified, so forget about the food and grass.
If it is left for a long time, there may be moths and mold, that would be a pity.
"You don't know, this food and grass will soon become more precious than gold, I understand what Tian Nong wants to do!" Zhou Heng narrowed his eyes, he didn't expect that Tian Nong really wanted to make a fortune for the country.
The country is in danger, as a minister, he should not report the country's favor, but he wants to take advantage of the fire to rob, what a Tian family, it seems that Da Zhou is too kind to them.
"What's the meaning?"
Zhen Feng continued to ask, what is more precious than gold.
"Southern Chu, Southern Liang, Southern Tang, the Three Kingdoms Alliance, 300,000 troops are on the border, and the war is imminent. Once there is a war, the grain and grass will become rare, and the price will inevitably rise. The Tian family now buys grain and grass at low prices and hoards them. If you sell it, the price difference is not a small sum of money.¡±
Zhou Heng revealed the Tian family's intentions.
It's really a good way.
"I'll go, the Tian family's move is wonderful." Tian Zhang said admiringly, although the Tian family's approach did not agree, but his idea is really good.
The Tian family got rich, and in the end Zhou Heng was blamed, because all this was due to Zhou Heng's conquest of Xiyi.
"Brother, I'm going to slaughter the Tian family now!"
Li Xingba said.
"No, since the Tian family violated the laws of the Great Zhou, we will deal with them according to the laws." Zhou Heng decided to enforce the law impartially and use lynching, which can only be used when there is no other choice.
"Then where are we going now?"
Mu Guang asked.
"Let's go to the granary in the east of the city to have a look now!" Zhou Heng decided to go to the granary to see if there is really so much grain.
"good."
Zhou Heng left Guangming Building with a few people.
In Chibi City, Mu Guang is the most familiar, and soon everyone came to the east of the city.
"This is the place to hoard food and grass!"
Mu Guang pointed forward, and after a few steps forward, a few people heard the voice "Stop!" A stern voice sounded, and there was a roadblock in front of him.
There are officers and soldiers guarding the roadblock.
"Can't we go there?"
Zhou Heng asked.
"Of course not, this place has been requisitioned by the imperial court!" The officers and soldiers answered Zhou Heng's question seriously.
"Expropriation by the imperial court?" Zhou Heng smiled. This reason cannot be refuted. "Then what is the imperial expropriation here for?" Zhou Heng continued to ask.
"Hoarding food and grass, the war is about to start, we are hoarding food and grass needed for the war." The officers and soldiers replied.
After Zhou Heng listened, he squinted his eyes. He used the name of the court and said the slogan for the court with high-sounding reasons. In the end, all the food and grass went into the pockets of Tian's family.
"I think this is not the imperial court's grain and grass, but the grain and grass hoarded by the Tian family themselves."
Zhou Heng said something indifferently. Hearing Zhou Heng's words, the officers and soldiers in front of him were stunned for a moment. Someone dared to say such things about the Tian family in Chibi City. This simply disgusted him for living too long.
"If you dare to say that about the Tian family, don't you just shoot him to death?"
The officers and soldiers warned Zhou Heng.
"Everyone is afraid of death. Doesn't it mean that everyone can't tell the truth and keep saying that it's for the court? When did the court say to increase the collection of grain and grass?"
Zhou Heng asked back.
It is really abominable to use the excuse of the court to do bad things.
"you?"
The officers and soldiers were rendered speechless by what Zhou Heng said.
"Go, go! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude." Seeing that he couldn't say no to Zhou Heng, he immediately called other people to drive Zhou Heng away.
"Which of you dare?"
Li Xingba gave a loud shout.
Officers and soldiers surrounded him, and Zhou Heng stood motionless with his hands behind his back, as stable as Mount Tai. Li Xingba and others immediately took a step forward, and the five of them protected Zhou Heng in the middle.
The five of Li Xingba were ready to go, and they became vigilant one by one. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
