The Great Tang: World Martial God

Changan.

Wu Wangfu.

The trees are lush and the pool is secluded.

King Wu, dressed in a splendid single shirt, stood by the pool, blowing in the breeze and sprinkling bait.

The guard squeezed the secret report with a smile on his face, and walked from behind.

When he walked behind Wang Wu, he held up the note with both hands and offered it respectfully.

"His Royal Highness, there is news from Qingzhou."

"The entire great Confucian family, with the encouragement of Mr. Wu, has already united and started to gather."

"At present, the gentry and tycoons are gathering together. I believe that Qingzhou's voice will be known by the court soon."

Wang Wu seemed to have already grasped this behavior and asked casually.

"Tang Hao, what's your move?"

The smile on the guard's face was even worse, telling the truth.

"Tang Hao didn't know what medicine he gave the Yuzhou provincial governor, so he even gave him grain."

"It's just that these grains have already been snapped up by the officials, and very few have fallen into the hands of the people of Qingzhou."

It seems that King Wu was not so excited about this, but he was worried.

Although the grain borrowed did not play a big role, Tang Hao's actions had already declared to the people of Qingzhou that the Tang Dynasty had done something.

This matter is imposing, and there is a vague sense of unfairness.

Hula.

A piece of fish food spilled out.

Several fish churned up in the pool, scrambling to eat the fish, and waves churning up in the pool water.

Wu Wang's faint voice came out.

"Look, only when the waves are up and down will more people be hooked."

"The famine in Qingzhou was just because the people worried that there would be no food to eat in the future."

"Tang Hao's actions did not have much effect, but it can reflect the concern of the court."

"Aristocratic gentry and tycoons with plenty of surplus food are likely to sit idly by and don't want to enter this quagmire. The hungry people in the countryside will also see hope and are unwilling to take a trip to this muddy water."

On the guard's excited face, the smile gradually solidified.

He also understood the meaning of Wang Wu's words.

The great Confucian family is just carrying the people's grievances, and if the people's grievances subsides, the momentum will quickly collapse.

"Then... Then, isn't the great Confucian family standing on the cusp of the storm, and it is very likely that they will be labeled as rebellious and rebellious?"

"His Royal Highness King Wu, we..."

After deleting the last fish food, King Wu slowly stretched out his hand, interrupting the guard's words.

"Not urgent!"

"Since the great Confucian family has been unified, what is needed now is to set fire among the people."

"The order is passed on and some public opinion is generated to link the plague of locusts with the court."

"How to do it? Do you understand?"

The guard behind him frowned slightly, pondered a little, and arched his hands.

"Throughout the ages, the people have faced the loess and obeyed God's will, and the subordinates have already done it in the name of God's will."

...

Wei Wangfu.

In the back garden, the family members were holding bamboo poles in their hands and beating the branches to drive away the noisy Xia Chan.

In the shade of the corridor, Wang Wei lay half on the bamboo mat, squinting his eyes and taking a nap.

The butler stepped cautiously and leaned forward.

"His Royal Highness, there is news from Qingzhou."

Wang Wei, who was still half lying with his eyes closed, waved his hand gently and said.

"speak."

The butler cautiously approached Wei Wang's ear and whispered softly.

"Tang Hao borrowed grain from Yuzhou and sold it in batches at various grain shops in Qingzhou."

Seeing Wei Wang's gradually frowning brows, the butler hurriedly added.

"The grain borrowed was not much, only 2,000 Hu."

"In the past two days, Qifeng has teamed up with Qingzhou guards to buy out food."

Wei Wang's expression was slightly relieved, he thought for a moment, and said.

"Qi Feng did a good job this time."

Finally, Wei Wang added.

"Those merchants must take the opportunity to raise prices and sell their own food."

"I'm afraid that Tang Hao invested two thousand Hu in the countryside, but he could actually sell two thousand and five hundred Hu."

Merchants are profitable by nature, so they take advantage of the opportunity to make money.

Qi Feng's previous grain ban strategy undoubtedly cut off these people's financial path. At this time, the strategy of placing grain and secretly selling it was also unexpected.

The guard thought for a moment and nodded secretly.

"Wang Wei is like a god."

"However, the price of food in Qingzhou has been gradually raised, and the poor people can no longer afford a few buckets."

The figure on the bamboo mat moved its body slightly, slowly opening its eyes.

"Yes, prices continue to rise."

"Taking the opportunity to purchase all the grains on the market, it completely leaves the Qingzhou merchants with no grain to sell."

"It's time to look at this Tang Hao, what other strategies for borrowing grain."

The official beside him bowed and bowed, said.

"I'll inform Qi Feng there."

When he was about to leave, Wang Wei said slowly.

"Wait!"

"What's the action on the Zhang family's side?"

Upon hearing the question, the official turned around and arched his hands.

"The great Confucian scholars of the Zhang family have changed, and the patriarchs of the aristocratic families have already secretly united. There must be a gathering in these few days."

This result seemed to make Wei Wang particularly dissatisfied, and he said with a cold snort.

"These sour scholars can calm down."

"When the notice goes on, the Qingzhou security guards will continue to investigate, and in the name of the military's requisition of food, they will cut off the supply of food to the Zhang family."

Seeing that the butler was about to leave, Wang Wei emphasized.

"Let the order go on, speed up the pace, force Tang Hao out as soon as possible, and let the great Confucian family turn back as soon as possible."

"I've been alone in Chang'an for a long time. If you don't lead the army like Qingzhou, this matter will only get harder and harder."
