Farmer of Shu Han
Chapter 722: Demon Girl
After entering April, Shuzhong is ready to start harvesting wheat.
Over the past few years, with the continuous increase of the court's demand for flour, coupled with the promotion of water mills, flour has become more and more popular.
Therefore, the wheat planting area in central Shu is increasing.
Over the years, the imperial court has spared no effort to develop water conservancy and reclaim arable land in Shu.
Although it can't be said that every family is rich, as long as Qianshou Cangtou is not too lazy, at least the children in the family can have a bite to eat, that's okay.
Not to mention those big families with large tracts of arable land. Standing on the ground, one can see the golden yellow wheat waves rolling up at a glance, which really makes people feel at ease.
Ordinarily, everyone should be happy to meet such a good year and a good day.
But there are some people who are not doing well.
Nanxiang Exchange, the VIP room that was originally reserved by the Li family, has not opened for nearly a month.
The sacks and hemp ropes produced by Nanxiang have long been famous.
However, many people still picked and picked, and finally picked the best quality sacks and hemp ropes, and guarded the gate of the exchange every day, keeping a close eye on the people who came in and out.
Just waiting to give the people in the Li family a sap.
The Twelve Lang of the Li family's big house has run away!
With a little... Anyway, he was running away!
The bastard saw that it was the harvest season, so he ran away.
During the Northern Expedition last year, the price of grain almost broke through 500 yuan a stone.
The big house of the Li family relied on the family's great fortune, but they often threw highs and lows in it, making wind and rain, which was very enjoyable.
But who would have thought that a Feng Niehu came down from the sky, and he broke through Longguan first and Zhang He second.
Then Zhuge Kongming, a villager, first ambushed Wei's army in Wudu, and then pacified Longxi with lightning speed.
Originally, many people thought that the Northern Expedition would be a tug of war, but it ended in just a few months.
When the news spread to Nanxiang, many people who stockpiled grain vomited blood.
Unexpectedly, God opened his eyes, the news of the victory of the Northern Expedition had not passed half a month, and he also heard that there was a severe drought in Longyou, and it was necessary to transfer grain from Shu for relief.
As a result, the depressed food prices suddenly rose again.
Who knew that there would be a turning point in the future, it was Feng Wenhe again, this bastard, who made some kind of tall water truck, which greatly eased the drought in Longyou.
When it rained in September in Longyou, the bulls of the Nanxiang Exchange were finally crushed, and the price of grain fell off the cliff again.
Queue up the city wall, go to Qingchi with your body, hang the southeast branch by yourself, there are countless.
No matter how rich the family background of the Li family is, if they follow the market, they will not be able to withstand this wave.
Not to mention the deliberate control of the black hand behind it.
A large number of transaction documents received, a considerable part of which was postponed to this year's summer grain harvest.
However, the big family of the Li family was originally a big farmer. If they still accept food from all parties according to the rules at this time, there is only one end, and that is to be blown up alive.
The Twelfth Lang of the Li family didn't really want to run away, after all, he was a man with a family, a business, and a reputation.
Seeing that the situation was not good, he ran back to his hometown in Guanghan to ask for help.
As the plenipotentiary representative of the big house of the Li family in the Nanxiang Exchange, he disappeared all of a sudden. In this scorching summer, many veterans suddenly became irritable.
People who had written records with the Li family's big house began to gather at the Li family's residence in Nanxiang.
"Losing money! Losing money!"
"The Li family of Guanghan in the middle of Sichuan has been established for hundreds of years, and they don't even want their reputation?
"I know you are inside, you have the ability to make a contract, and you have the ability to open the door!"
...
If it weren't for the good security in Nanxiang, I'm afraid someone would have already started smashing the gate.
"All my net worth is in it. I can't get the money back, and others will force me to die anyway! I'll just die at your doorstep!"
Someone burst into tears and sat on the ground.
What's more, after scolding, he cried and begged again: "Your Li family has a great career, so you can give me some first! I'm a debtor for business..."
After confirming that no one from the Li family has come out to make a guarantee, and at the same time notifying the Li family to go to the exchange to explain to no avail within the time limit.
Li Mu quickly ordered to freeze all transactions of the Li family's big house on the exchange.
The Li family's big house became the first family to stop listing on the exchange.
Even this trend quickly spread to Guanghan County, the foundation of the Li family's big house.
Some well-informed people have already started to collect debts.
"My lord, what should we do now?"
The Twelfth Lang of the Li family, who had just returned from Hanzhong for a few days, asked his lord with a pale face.
As the head of the Li family's generation, Father Li's body was trembling.
"Bah!"
One side of Twelve Lang's face soon swelled up.
"What are you doing running back?" Father Li growled, "If you don't come back, if they make trouble, it will be at Nanxiang!"
"But my lord, I will be beaten to death by them..."
Twelve Lang didn't dare to cover his face, so he knelt down with a "Putong".
"Who dares to kill you? Will the family leave it alone? As long as you can find a way to delay it for a while, the family will naturally find a way for you!"
Father Li's eyes were red, "Now everyone has followed you to Guanghan. Li's reputation for hundreds of years has been ruined."
"My lord, I don't dare!" Twelve Lang raised his head with horror on his face, "That woman, she will send me to the mine in the mountains!"
Of course Li Mu would not send himself to the mine, but he would definitely be locked up in a black kiln.
It's obviously a family matter, why should I be responsible for it alone?
Now people are chasing her home, what can I do? When I was a three year old? Don't try to lie to me!
At this time, a person rushed in from the outside, who was the brother of the Patriarch of the Li family.
Before he could stand still, he hurriedly said: "Brother, the He family said that they don't have any cash on hand, and they have invested all in the wool spinning workshop!"
"How could the He family have no money! Back then we bought a batch of grain from them!"
Veins popped up on Father Li's forehead, and he looked at the person in disbelief, "The He family clearly promised me that they would help us this time."
When the price of grain fell for the first time, it was the news from the eldest son of the He family to the Li family a few days in advance, saying that there was a severe drought in Longyou, which made the Li family grit their teeth and persevere.
Later, exactly as the family said, the food price went up again.
At that time, the He family was still planning to invest in Yuejuan's ranch because of the relationship between the three families in the family, and the money and grain were divided into half, so they had to throw away part of the grain.
Fearing that the sale of the He family would push down the price of the grain, he finally went to the owner of the He family himself, and the grain fell into the hands of the Li family.
Thinking about it now, the Patriarch of the Li family suddenly shuddered.
The third wife of the He family, He Shen and He Wang, the mad dog-like father and son...
Coupled with the sudden change of mind of the patriarch of the He family, the patriarch of the Li family was immediately shocked and angry, and at the same time, a wave of fear finally appeared in his heart.
"Patriarch, why don't we trade the grain for some wool?" the visitor suggested in a low voice, "Li Mu's surname is Li after all."
"If you ask her for credit, it would be even better if you can ask her to help appease those people. With her reputation, I believe those people will definitely listen."
The Patriarch of the Li family smiled miserably, "Take food in exchange? Do you know what the price of food is now?"
Speaking of this, he kicked over and kicked his kneeling son over, "Wheat is fifty yuan a stone! When we harvested the grain in front of us, the price was evenly divided, at least one hundred yuan!"
"Half of it! Besides, who would ask for food to pay off the debt now? Are you crazy?"
The summer harvest is one of the periods of the year when the price of grain is the lowest, and the grain in central Sichuan has been increasing steadily year by year in the past few years. Is a fool willing to take grain?
Besides, even if there were fools, the Li family would lose at least half of it.
The more the Patriarch of the Li family talked, the more he wanted to kill that woman in Nanxiang: If she said she didn't know anything, who would believe it?
You are a woman from our Li family, tell me in advance, can you die? Will you die?
"Our Li family has a witch! A witch!"
But no matter how much he hated Li Mu, the head of the Li family still had to go to Nanxiang himself.
"On credit?"
Li Mu sat peacefully on the main seat, watching the former head of the Li family sitting down with a smile on his face, he felt extremely happy.
When you persecuted me back then, did you ever think about today?
She had a smile on her face, "Uncle, your house still owes a lot of contracts to the exchange, how can you ask me to credit?"
"Ma'am," the Patriarch of the Li family suppressed the breath in his chest, "It's not like you don't know about our Li family, we still have some wealth."
"Now it's just temporarily unable to turn around. After this period of delay, we can collect and sell the grain, and it will be worth it anyway."
"Besides, doesn't our Li family still have a wool spinning workshop? It is said that we can produce wool this year, and we are afraid that we will not come back by then?"
As a big family, if you really want to say that you can't stand this wave, it's just a joke.
Just the side branches at the bottom can make a fortune.
But seeing that the wool spinning workshop in Longyou is about to start, why do you have to prepare a large sum of money on hand, otherwise what would you start working with?
Sign a weaver, rent a handyman, buy wool, buy a loom...
Feng Wen and that animal even charged money for the venue of the workshop!
Or rent not sell!
You missed this year, and you will be left behind by a lot next year. Who dares to relax at this time?
"Besides, we have paid a deposit in the exchange before. Now that the situation is urgent, can we raise it first..."
Before the Patriarch of the Li family finished speaking, Li Mu shook his head, "Uncle, this money can only be regarded as a small amount of money compared to the contract in your hands."
"And we also said at the beginning that if you breach the contract, the money will be deducted."
"It's only a few days before the time to cash in. Uncle, let's think of a way quickly, otherwise, don't let me be rude."
Hearing that Li Mu actually wanted to swallow the money, the Patriarch of the Li family finally couldn't bear it and stood up abruptly: "Li Mu, are you really so heartless?"
The expression on Li Mu's face remained the same, and his smile was even stronger.
She looked at Twelve Lang behind the head of the Li family, "Twelve Lang, did I ever force you to buy food?"
Twelve Lang didn't dare to look at her, his lips moved, but he didn't dare to answer.
Li Mu looked at the Patriarch of the Li family again: "Uncle, I am just a woman. Don't say that I am Feng Li now, even if I am not married, can I still participate in such important clan affairs?"
"This Nanxiang Exchange, but people from the imperial court are watching. If I dare to play favoritism, uncle, do you know what the consequences will be?"
The Patriarch of the Li family didn't believe her and there was nothing he could do. His eyes were red, he stared at her firmly, and said each word: "Don't you forget what your last name was before you got married?"
After he reminded him, Li Mu seemed to have just realized it, and suddenly said: "Yes, I am also from the sixth room of the Li family. If that is the case, how about I help uncle think of a way?"
When the Patriarch of the Li family heard this, he didn't expect that she would say such a sentence. He didn't react for a while, and was taken aback on the spot.
"Actually, it was my uncle who reminded me." Li Mu's eyes were shining brightly, "The workshop in Longyou, not to mention that it can produce wool in the future."
"Even if you don't have anything now, the share alone is worth a lot of money. Since uncle is not rich, why don't you sell the share to solve the urgent problem?"
"Shut up!" Hearing this, the Patriarch of the Li family immediately pointed at Li Mu and shouted, "You vicious woman, what kind of intentions do you have? Do you want to drive our eldest family to a dead end?"
Only then did he shout, and saw two maidservants with knives rushing in from outside the hall: "Madam, what's the matter?"
Both of them drew their swords halfway, watching the Patriarch of the Li family and Li Twelve Lang warily.
Li Mu's face was gloomy, and he waved his hands to let them go down, and then said: "Uncle just said something vicious about a woman, and it's me, Li Mu?"
As she spoke, she stood up and stared at the Patriarch of the Li family, "Even if I am only a concubine of the Feng family, I am still a member of the Feng family. Uncle insulting me like this is no different from insulting the Marquis of the Feng family? Are you really deceiving no one in the Feng family?"
The Patriarch of the Li family gushed old blood into his throat, and almost spat it out, but he forcibly swallowed it back.
Fuck your grandma's Feng Lishi! Are all the concubines of the Feng family so arrogant?
He was trembling all over, and asked hoarsely, "Why did you do this?"
Li Mu sneered, "Uncle really wants to know?"
The Patriarch of the Li family stared at her with fire in his eyes.
I saw Li Mu yelling to the outside: "Please Li Langjun come here."
The head of the Li family is a little unclear, so who is this Li Langjun?
After a while, a young man came in, and first saluted Li Mu, who was in the main seat: "I have seen Madam."
The Patriarch of the Li family saw this person and felt that he looked familiar, but he just thought about it for a long time, but he didn't remember where he had seen this person.
On the contrary, when Li Twelve Lang saw this person, his eyes widened suddenly, and his face was full of disbelief.
I saw this person bowed to the Patriarch of the Li family again: "Longxi Didao Li Jian has met my uncle."
When the Patriarch of the Li family heard this, he suddenly understood, "You are from the Li family in Longxi? You have been to Guanghan a few years ago."
"Uncle Shi has a good memory."
Li Jian replied politely.
Back then, when the Li family in Longxi wanted to import a batch of raw materials from Nanxiang, they first wanted to connect with the big house of the Li family in central Sichuan.
"Uncle, to be honest, the Li family in Longxi has long wanted to participate in the wool spinning workshop, but it's just that they don't have any connections."
"Now that Dafang is in trouble, why don't we sell Dafang's share of our Li family's wool spinning workshop to the Li family in Longxi."
Li Mu said with a smile, "At that time, the Longxi Li family can help take over the contract from my uncle. In this way, Dafang can preserve his reputation, and the Longxi lineage can fulfill his wish. Anyway, they are all surnamed Li, and there will be no outsiders who are cheap. "
When the matter came to this point, the head of the Li family finally understood that Dafang was not only framed by outsiders, but even by the Li family's own ghosts in the current situation!
Thinking of other families, they were unwilling to help at the most critical moment, didn't they just want to carve up the share of the workshop in their hands? They were all waiting to drink blood and eat meat!
The head of the Li family figured this out, and the mouthful of blood from his throat finally spurted out!
Even Li Jian's face was sprinkled with some stars.
"grown ups!"
Li Twelve Lang hurriedly supported his adult.
The Patriarch of the Li family laughed nervously, "The Li family is unlucky, unlucky! There are such vicious women!"
The Patriarch of the Li family struggled to look at Li Jian again, "The Li family in Longxi and the Li family in Central Sichuan are originally of the same lineage, why are they fighting each other so much?"
Li Jian lowered her head and replied softly: "Uncle Shi, the sixth house of the Li family and the Li family of Longxi are also from the same lineage."
"The Li family in Longxi wants to help the side branch seize the clan house!"
Hearing this, the Patriarch of the Li family stared wide-eyed, and said a few hoots unwillingly, couldn't stand it any longer, and fainted all of a sudden.
A few days later, the news quickly spread that the owner of the house of the Li Family Zong was worried that the transaction contract would be too much, and he suffered a stroke and was half paralyzed on the couch.
In order to appease all parties, Mu Niangzi, who is in charge of the exchange, brought together the Li family in Longxi to take over the contract of the Li family's big house in central Shu.
With Mrs. Mu coming forward, the leeks...ah, no, those retail investors who are waiting for the Li family to fulfill their promises can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, the turmoil of the big house of the Li family's breach of contract finally came to an end.
The reputation of Mrs. Mu of Nanxiang has risen to a higher level.
The Li family in Longxi has built up a wave of prestige, and it is certain that they are anxious and righteous, especially for those who are in the same vein, there is really nothing to say.
After this incident, the big house of the Li family in Sichuan began to fall silent.
The collapse of the Li family's big house marks the official entry of the conservative aristocratic family in central Shu into an era of disintegration.
The He family, another surname in central Shu, took a part of the wool spinning workshop and traded it with Xinghanhui to obtain a ticket to become a shareholder of Yuejuan Ranch.
It is the kind of ticket that has bargaining power and the right to speak in management, not the kind that only pays dividends.
At the same time, through the exchange of shares, Xinghan Club will get the admission ticket to formally enter the wool spinning workshop.
Push a book: It is impossible for Daming to be so rich. Is it okay to write... yes yes yes, PY transaction. Those who are interested can go and have a look.
