Chapter 2155: Those who seek others will also seek others.
In many cases, people are always used to imagining good things and then ignoring their mistakes, and often suffer some setbacks. However, when some people encounter setbacks, they will first reflect on themselves, while some people will look for some mistakes in others. An excuse to relieve yourself.
It's everyone's fault...
If so and so hadn't done this, then this wouldn't have happened...
Since there is such a problem, then why didn’t someone point it out before and only now...
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 break up because of interests.
When they found that things did not change as they expected, and even began 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. Haha, once there are no leeks, it will naturally look sad and gloomy.
In the courtyard, various voices were intertwined. It seemed that everyone wanted to express their attitude and show their thoughts, but they were unwilling to listen to others' words, so it was somewhat confusing.
Among the gentry, there has always been a trend of pursuing luxury and nobility. Of course, these gentry children among the three assistants in Guanzhong are not exempt from the custom. Especially these local big families, who cannot compare with Wei Duan and others in terms of power, naturally have to pursue luxury above all else. Balance, so everything used in the hall costs a lot of money.
But now, no one has the time to spend on these expensive utensils, which can usually be used to compare and show off. Nowadays, no one will take a second look. Everyone is eager to express their thoughts, often Before this person could finish speaking, the next person interrupted him.
Your own interests are the most important, and you need to protect your own interests no matter what. The problems of others are nothing, and you must not suffer!
But sitting in the hall, there were noisy voices on both sides. Even though he had been talking about calming down and stabilizing his aura all day long, at the moment, all kinds of thoughts were rolling around in his mind, and he couldn't maintain a wave at all. In a calm state, although he was drinking tea with a tea bowl in his hand, his mind was not on the tea at all. He had even drank all the tea bowl and still drank it while holding it in the air.
In the hall, the people involved in this matter have been discussing it for almost an hour, but not even a single thing has been decided...
Mainly because these people are not core figures, and core figures will not appear in situations with so many people.
Some people didn't believe it at first, so they sent people to investigate again, and found that Wang's rice shop in Taiyuan began to sell "fair price", that is, when selling grain at a price slightly lower than the average price of grain they pushed up, These people immediately became furious and said in unison that the Taiyuan Wang family was a traitor! They were the scum of the Shanxi gentry! They were the lapdogs following the hussars!
They have worked hard to push up food prices. If the Wang family is allowed to do this, wouldn't they be making someone else's wedding dress?
Then after indignant denunciation of the Taiyuan Wang family, it fell into chaos.
Some people think that now that the situation outside has changed, we should not continue to push up grain prices and just stop when they are good. Although they don't make much, they still make some money. Don't look at the current grain and grass prices, which seem to be quite high.
, but the profits earned by these people are not actually very large, because in order to control the price of grain and grass, some scattered sources of goods must be purchased, and in this process, increased purchase prices are indispensable, plus transportation and
Warehousing expenses also require a certain cost, so if you sell all the grain and grass at the current price, you can only make a small profit.
And once a large amount of grain is sold, it means that the price of grain and grass will fall quickly, so it is actually good to maintain a balance in the end.
Others disagree. Since they are still doing it, giving up halfway means wasting all their efforts. If certain conditions cannot be reached this time and Fei Qian makes certain compromises, then when the market recovers, Fei Qian will turn around.
When we were cleaning up, we had no money and no food and grass. Even if we wanted to fight, we had no leverage.
"Now that you have made a move, you must fight to the end! You have already faced each other, and then you pulled back halfway. If others see it, it is really a joke! What's more, even if you stop now, others will not hold grudges? On the contrary, it will make people more angry.
Once you see our true and falsehoods, you will become even more unscrupulous when it comes to dealing with us!"
"Didn't you think that the food and grass were insufficient before? Now who knows, they are coming from Hedong to adjust the food! This move will cost ten thousand stones! If there is more of this later, what will we do? Eat them all? Where can we get so much money?"
"Everyone, everyone, don't be afraid. Haven't we already figured this out? This hussar's food and grass are just enough for now. What's more, a batch will be sent to the surrounding areas soon. There must be a shortage of food. I can't tell.
These grains from Hedong were originally intended to be sent to Youzhou, pretending to be rich to scare us!"
As the host of the meeting, Queyi really couldn't stand listening anymore. He felt that if the discussion continued like this, when would the final result be reached, so he couldn't help but asked loudly: "Brother Yang! Brother Yang! I don't know about this, but..."
Any advice?!』
The crowd was so noisy that everyone had ideas and ideas, but Yang Shuo was still sitting among them, closing his eyes and concentrating, as if he was completely unaware. At this time, he heard Que Yi's questioning voice,
Then he slowly opened his eyes and smiled, "I am just an outsider, what about this..."
"Huh? How can Brother Yang say something like that? That's too outrageous!"
"We all follow Brother Yang's instructions and be quiet! Everyone, please be quiet! Please give me some advice from Yang Xiong!"
"Yes, yes! Brother Yang, please give me some advice!"
When several wealthy people sitting at the top heard this, they immediately became unhappy and spoke repeatedly with an eager attitude.
But most people who do bad things have a common subconscious, that is, they like to drag people into trouble. From shocking corruption cases to petty thefts, this seems to be the case.
Although the Yang family is no longer glorious in the past, it still has an air of dignity, so Yang Shuo has naturally become the favorite of these people. How could Yang Shuo easily sever ties and get rid of this place of right and wrong?
Yang Shuo smiled and said: "There are countermeasures... There are some, but if you really want to do it... I'm afraid you won't be able to look back..."
"Now that the cavalry army is outside, there is room for change..." Although Yang Shuo's tone was calm, the words he spat out were earth-shattering, "Now that the number of refugees in Jingzhou, Guanzhong is getting heavier, there will naturally be a lot of food and grass. If there is a little noise, , it’s a big disaster...』
"Brother Yang!" But he took a breath, "Brother Yang means..."
Yang Shuo shook his head, "I didn't say anything... I was just worried about these refugees..."
Everyone in the hall suddenly fell silent. Then you looked at me, I looked at you, and your breath gradually became heavier...
In fact, most of these big households in Chang'an Sanfu were harvested from various places during the Western Han Dynasty. Although they have now taken root again in the land of Chang'an Sanfu, how many of them are Those who are grateful to the big man may have ten fingers full of dissatisfaction.
During the Western Qiang Rebellion during the period of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty, although most of the battles were fought in Youfufeng and Longxi, the troops passing through the border did not have any impact on Zuo Fengyi and other places. Among them, the ups and downs of family fortunes were that the first movers were in ruins, and the latecomers were on top. , this is also a common thing.
Nowadays, although all families regard Guanlong as the foundation of their family business and have many connections with each other, they cannot be said to be harmonious or close. They may be like family members, but there are also feuds, and even people in the same family Within a family, there are differences in closeness and distance due to distance, and there are even those who have never interacted with each other until old age and death.
Therefore, the current wealthy and powerful families in Guanzhong Sanfu and other places are different from the gentry system in Yuzhou, Jizhou, and even Jingzhou and Xuzhou. The gentry system in Guanzhong Sanfu is even more chaotic. There are upstarts who are inclined to Feiqian, such as Li There are also people like Yuan Yuan and others who were assimilated by Shandong like Que Yi and others, and there are also people like Wei Duan who are weak and fall in that direction...
Some of the big names in Longyou during the Old Qin Dynasty still had the idea of ranking first in military merit. However, big families such as Que Yi and others who had been seriously assimilated by the Shandong gentry felt that land was everything they needed to live and settle down. Therefore, in Feiqian After the Jue Tian system was implemented, some people, especially Longyou Lao Qin, basically had no objections. In addition, some people who had won military honors in several battles also supported it, so Que Yi and others did not have much weight to speak. , I can only hold my nose and endure it for the time being.
Then as D-day came closer and closer, these people finally couldn't sit still. It was quite rare that they abandoned some of the gaps between the families and gathered together to plan countermeasures. This was the reason for this food fluctuation.
For these people, who both want to fight for their own interests but are afraid of completely falling out with Fei Qian, the best thing is for both parties to take a step back and finally reach a result acceptable to both parties.
The law does not punish everyone, right?
What's more, the Hussars are currently outside, and the intensity of Guanzhong's control is naturally relaxed. If you don't act now, you have to wait for the next opportunity, and you don't know that it is the Year of the Horse and the Monkey...
However, hoarding and raising food prices are still within the scope of commerce. Even if they go too far, the problem is not too big. Just like when they competed with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for the salt and iron business, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did not see any generals.
All the big salt and iron merchants in the world have been killed. Once things don't work out, just spend some blood and lose some money and it will be fine.
But now Yang Shuo's suggestion is completely different...
Inciting the refugees to cause rebellion would be a recipe for loss of brains, so most of the people present hesitated.
Yang Shuo glanced around, sneered and said: "Everyone, please don't forget... with the current price of food and grass, this refugee chaos... I'm afraid it will only happen sooner or later..."
"ah……"
"this……"
After hearing what Yang Shuo said, everyone couldn't help but have a headache. Because what Yang Shuo said is indeed a possibility of future evolution, there is still a high chance...
The price of food and grass is soaring, the market is out of stock, and there are more and more refugees in Jingzhou. Is there either a slight disturbance or a riot? Everyone looked at each other, feeling somewhat panicked for a while.
Yang Shuo sat there, seemingly confident, but in fact he was also worried.
The last time Yang Shuo was involved, he thought he was just giving an idea and then he could get away. Unexpectedly, after reporting Yang Xiu, Yang Xiu asked Yang Shuo to return to Chang'an and report everything to Pang Tong. Then Yang Shuo took it from Pang Tong.
Bian received a new order, that of "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 and normal.
But there was a lot of panic in my heart...
Leaving Yang Shuo and others aside for the time being, at this moment, Yang Xiu, who was in Luoyang, also rushed to Hongnong Huayin and paid homage to Yang Biao.
Since Yang Biao failed in the struggle for supremacy, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Yang Biao pretended to be a hermit and "hidden in the city", leaving the main matters to Yang Xiu to handle, while he retreated to the second line.
In the Han Dynasty, hermits were born with a layer of protection. No matter who it was, killing hermits and sages without permission was always disgraceful. Even if Chong'er was determined to kill Jie Zitui to silence him, he would still need to use the pretext of mountain fire. After all, according to Jin Wengong's
Naturally, a talented person cannot act like an idiot and think that a person who has to carry his mother on his back can run faster than a wildfire, otherwise the animals that are buried in the sea of fire will have no face...
So when Yang Biao retreated, it was somewhat like washing his hands in the golden basin. Now that he had washed his hands in the golden basin, he had some protective clothing that he could forget his fault and become a Buddha. In history, it was precisely because of this that although Cao Cao killed Yang Xiu, he still had
Yang Biao still maintained some courtesy. However, washing hands in a golden basin does not mean that he is truly an expert in the world and does not care about mortal things. He still has to eat, drink, poop and fart. When Yang Xiu found
When Yang Biao comes, Yang Biao will definitely not disappear.
"What Xiu'er is worried about..." Yang Biao slightly stroked his beard, "It makes sense...it just needs some heat."
Yang Xiu also nodded and said: "The child also knows it, but the incident happened suddenly, and there is no way to be safe..."
Yang Biao hummed.
For the Yang family, the relationship with these big families in Guanzhong Sanfu is not that good. And from a certain perspective, the Yang family should have represented the Shanxi gentry to compete with Shandong, but in many cases the Yang family actually did the opposite.
The interests of Shanxi were sold in exchange for the Yang family's own benefits. Yang Biao's wife was born in the Yuan family. She was the great-granddaughter of Situ Yuan An and the elder of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu. Therefore, the Yang family was completely Shandongized and there was basically no problem.
.
Everything has advantages and disadvantages. When Yang Biao married the Yuan family, there were naturally many advantages, but now it has become a disadvantage. The Yuan family in Runan fell, and only the Yang family was left in the Four Generations and Three Gongs. But now Shanxi
The leader of the noble clan is no longer Yang, but Fei Qian in his prime...
Because of Cai Yong's incident, even if the Yang family donates family property and materials to help Fei Qian succeed, he may not be able to get much reward. On the contrary, it may even be because the Yang family is a wealthy farmer in Hong Kong. Once Fei Qian feels that the Yang family is very powerful,
They continued to increase their demands for money, which made it even more difficult for them to resist.
Therefore, before Yang's power was not strong enough, Yang Xiu could only choose not to provoke Fei Qian as much as possible. It was inevitable that Yang Shuo would turn from a participant to an informer.
It's just that things don't end here...
"Father..." Yang Xiu said, "I came here this time to ask my father for advice. Can I..."
Yang Biao pondered for a moment, then raised his head slightly and motioned Yang Xiu to look upward.
In the main hall of Yang Biao's so-called "thatched cottage" where he lived in seclusion, there is a plaque "Four Knowledges" hanging.
Yang Xiu glanced at it, then rolled his eyes and his expression changed, "What father means...could it be that here..."
Yang Biao shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily the case here, but there must be Qiaoqi spies in Luoyang... In addition, Xu County... probably also has... Therefore, this matter... needs to be cautious..."
Yang Xiu took a breath, then stopped talking.
The stronger Fei Qian is, the greater the threat to the Yang family will be, and the Yang family is sandwiched between the East and the West. If the power comparison between Fei Qian and Cao Cao is more similar, it means that the Yang family will have more opportunities to develop.
, the more you can have both sides. Didn’t the Yang family of Hongnong make a fortune in those days because it served as a bridge between Sanfu in Guanzhong and the counties in Shandong? Now if we go on such a road again, we may not necessarily be familiar with it, but at least we have some experience.
Already.
Therefore, after the Zuo Fengyi hoarding incident occurred, Yang Xiu immediately decided to betray the people of the Third Assistant in Guanzhong. On the one hand, he would distance himself from the relationship. On the other hand, if Fei Qian did not handle it well, it would lead to a large-scale massacre in the Third Assistant in Guanzhong.
Civil unrest, or gentry defection, or defection, etc., are all beneficial to the Yang family.
Yang Xiu even thought that he could secretly sell this matter to Cao Cao, but he felt a little unsure, so he came to Yang Biao for advice...
"Xiu'er..." Yang Biao sighed, "The tree that hugs each other is born from the smallest millimeter; the nine-story platform starts from the tired soil; the journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. Now the Yang family must gather dust and hide its power and bide its time."
Don't be too impatient and let others take control of you... Moreover, if you don't make up your mind before you say it, you won't be tired if you make up your mind beforehand, you won't feel guilty if you make up your mind before going, and you won't be exhausted if you make up your mind beforehand... This matter is sudden, if it is done rashly
There must be flaws in everything you do..."
"What's more... those who plot others will also plot others," Yang Biao looked at Yang Xiu and said seriously, "under the four knowledges, there is still the word prudence... You are planning here, how can you know that Pang Tong, Pang Shiyuan and others
How much calculation can people make?"
Yang Xiu frowned and was silent for a while, then finally sighed and said, "I can only sit back and watch..."
Young people always feel that they can control the wind and rain, make a country prosperous with a word, and defeat a country with a single move. For example, they always feel that they are the luckiest kid. Even if there is no blessing from the grandpa of the system, adding a lever can be enough to see the momentum.
If it's not right, you can just escape, but in fact, if you are not careful, you will fall straight into the abyss and you will not be able to escape at all...
Yang Biao looked at his leeks, um, Yang Xiu, touched his beard, and then said: "The Hussar certainly has spies everywhere... Could it be that there is no one under General Cao in Guanzhong? Don't forget, this time the Hussar
Going south to Jingxiang, there are many refugees from Jingzhou..."
Yang Xiu raised his eyebrows, "My father meant this..."
Yang Biao smiled and said, "Let's see."
"Only." Yang Xiu answered.
The father and son looked at each other and smiled, as if they were ready to watch a good show...
