Three Kingdoms Super God of War System

"Father, this Cao Anmin has made it clear that he will not give our family a way out. If things go on like this, we will be swallowed up by him sooner or later. If so, why don't we take the risk and fight him."

"Fight? How to fight, we are the people! It has been said since ancient times that the people don't fight with the officials. Although my Li family has some background, but fighting with Cao Anmin with real swords and guns is not like hitting a stone with an egg. That Marquis Wen is so strong, even He was easily wiped out, let alone you and me."

Li Ping shook his head: "If we want to deal with Cao Anmin, if it is done with real swords and guns, we have no chance of winning. But we can outsmart him!"

"Outsmart?"

Li Ping is different from Li Fen. He has read poetry and books since he was a child, and his mind is indeed different from ordinary people.Especially in terms of strategy, it can be said to be the No.1 of the Li family for hundreds of years.

"Cao Anmin killed Gao Heng just to win the hearts of the people and let him secure Xuzhou Mu's throne. We just don't let him do what he wants."

Li Fen asked in a low voice: "What's your plan?"

"It's time for the autumn harvest soon. Cao Anmin has already made a promise to reduce taxes in order to support the people. However, Cao's army has a large number of people, so it will require a lot of expenses! Therefore, my child estimates that Cao Anmin will definitely buy food and grass from the hands of the people. To enrich ourselves with this. We will do the opposite, and we will not let Cao Anmin succeed. Before the Cao army collected grain, we tried to find a way to buy all the grain and raise the price. Cao Anmin wanted to buy grain , can only come to us, and then, I want to see what else he can do to check and balance us."

Li Fen's eyes lit up, and then he nodded slightly and said: "This kind of thing may be difficult for our family, so why not contact the Mi family, Natian family, Xu family, we are really not afraid of Cao Anmin by working together. "

The plan was determined, and Li Ping quickly went to prepare.

Chapter 174

Early in the morning, the gate of the Lijia grain station was surrounded by farmers who came to sell grain.

Since Cao Anmin took charge of Xuzhou, lowering taxes is probably a rare and rare event for the common people in thousands of years.The autumn harvest had just ended, and the grain store in the second county of Langya Donghai began to purchase grain on a large scale.

In just a few days, the purchase price has increased by a full [-]%.Seeing this, the common people sold the surplus grain in their hands to the grain store one after another in exchange for gold and silver.

At three quarters of Yin time, the grain store opens on time.

The waiter let out a sigh of relief and took out the house number.

"150 yuan, [-] yuan higher than yesterday!" A few literate farmers among the farmers suddenly cried out in surprise.

Xuzhou is a major grain-producing province, except in times of famine.The normal food price is basically stable between [-] and [-] yuan per stone.

Before the autumn harvest, the price of grain was only 850 yuan a stone.But with the harvest of new grain, the price of grain increased sharply every day, and it has risen to a full three hundred yuan today.

"My master said, as much as you want to buy today, after lighting the lights, everyone line up and come here one by one." The waiter of Li's Grain Store shouted at the top of his voice.Many people lined up spontaneously, waiting to sell the grain.

The sharp rise in food prices in Xuzhou naturally did not escape Cao Anmin's attention.It's just that he is also very strange. According to common sense, the food price in Xuzhou cannot rise so fast.If this ratio is followed, they may have to spend a lot of money collecting food and grass.

While thinking, Yao Guangxiao and Xu Guangqi walked in quickly.Looking at their faces, the two of them were full of anxiety.

"My lord, the situation is getting more and more wrong." Xu Guangqi handed the documents he had sorted out to Cao Anmin's desk, his face covered with sweat.I don't know if it's the sweat from walking too fast, or the cold sweat from the inside because of being too anxious.

"Pengcheng's grain price has risen for the third time in a row today, and it has reached 230 five yuan a stone. In the whole of Xuzhou, the place with the highest grain price is Langya County. According to our statistics in the morning, the grain price has risen to [-] yuan. A hundred bucks a stone."

Cao Anmin gasped suddenly.

Thirteen hundred dollars!This is still the purchase price. If it is sold, the price may be increased by [-]% to this level.

In just a few days, food prices have increased by nearly [-]%, and according to this trend, I am afraid it will continue to rise.

"How about our purchase of grain and grass?"

Yao Guangxiao shook his head helplessly, although the common people were grateful to Cao Anmin.But the government bid 910 yuan a stone, which is too far from the market price. Even if the common people love Cao Anmin, they have to sell the grain to the grain store for profit.

"As of today, the total amount of grain and grass purchased in the six counties of Xuzhou is less than [-] shi, and [-] shi of which are sold by Yuanlong."

Cao Anmin's eyes widened. These days, the major grain stores in Xuzhou have bought at least hundreds of thousands of shi of grain and grass. As a state shepherd and the biggest local tyrant in Xuzhou, he can only buy three thousand shi. There are also two thousand stones of friendship food.

"My lord, if things go on like this, I'm afraid the situation will be very unfavorable to us! All the food will be purchased by them. Once there is any disaster, the government will not be able to provide food for disaster relief. At that time, rumors will spread, which will be extremely detrimental to the lord's rule." Xu Guangqi spoke sincerely, and Cao Anmin nodded slightly, pacing back and forth in the room, thinking about countermeasures.

Just when everyone fell silent, Shi Qian walked in quickly outside the gate of the mansion.He bowed to Yao and Xu, clasped his fists and said, "Brother's guess is correct, it is indeed the trick of Li Xutian and other aristocratic families, and I overheard that they also discussed that they planned to let the lord take the initiative to subdue, unless Donghai County was handed over to them to take care of themselves." , otherwise the price will never be lowered.”

Shi Qian contributed a lot to the battle of Xuzhou.It's a pity that he is incapable of writing and martial arts, and it is not suitable for him to be a general.After thinking about it, Cao Anmin asked Shi Qian to gather all the thieves and beggars in the entire Xuzhou territory and form another department, which was specially responsible for inquiring some secret information.

Sure enough, the food price battle had just started, and the mastermind and conspiracy behind the scenes had already been found out.

"My lord, these aristocratic families are deeply entrenched. If we clear them all at once, I'm afraid it will cause big trouble."

"My lord, since we already know who is behind the scenes, why don't we follow the vine and uproot these aristocratic families?" Yao Guangxiao's face was gloomy, and the sinister schemes came at random.

Drive up food prices, leading to social unrest.Xu Guangqi's meaning is very simple, that is, to appease the best, to persuade these aristocratic and powerful families to lower food prices on their own and stabilize the hearts of the people.And what Yao Guangxiao meant was to cut through the mess with a sharp knife, and clean up all these aristocratic families in one go.

"No!" If it was before, Cao Anmin might really agree with Yao Guangxiao's approach.Part of it was bloodbathed, part of it was shocked, but at this moment, he suddenly had a better plan.

"Order the prefects of the counties, starting from today, to spend one month's grain and grass, and sell all the rest of the grain to these grain stores."

"What!" Xu Guangqi was shocked.

They did have some food in storage, but it was only 60 million shi. If expenses were excluded, it would be 20 shi at most.If all the 20 shi of grain and grass are sold, once a crisis is encountered, the people will need government relief, and the lack of food in their hands will only cause turmoil.

"My lord, although we can benefit a lot in this way, what about after one month?" Yao Guangxiao didn't understand Cao Anmin's intentions for a moment, and there was concern in his eyes.

Right now, Xuzhou is like a baby just out of its infancy. Its foundation is not stable and the people's hearts are not attached. If such a strong medicine is used, if it is not careful, Xuzhou will be doomed forever.

"Don't worry, gentlemen, you will understand when I explain the whole plan." After speaking, he asked the two to sit down, and the three of them stabilized their minds before Cao Anmin slowly revealed his plan.

In fact, it is very simple. They sold all the grain and grass in their hands to the aristocratic family, and then used the money to cross the Yangtze River to buy grain and grass in Jiangdong and Jingzhou.As long as the price of the grain and grass obtained is lower than Xuzhou, they will be sold back to hit the Xuzhou market, and all the money in the hands of the aristocratic family will be taken back, flipped back and forth, and all the money and grain will be in the hands of Cao Anmin. In the end, we will see who can hold on to the price war.

A business war is like a battlefield, and what is fought is a battle between exchange rates and reserves.Cao Anmin asked himself that the money and food in his hands were definitely not less than these aristocratic families. If these aristocratic families wanted to compare their wealth with him, they were courting death.

Yao Guangxiao was originally a shrewd person, when Cao Anmin said it slightly, he understood the reason, suddenly realized it, and praised him again and again.

Xu Guangqi also had an honor on his face. This strategy seemed ordinary, but in fact it was planned with a business strategy. Such an ability is really admirable.

"My lord, in order not to startle the enemy, why don't you ask Mr. Yang to meet these Patriarchs, and beg them on the surface to lower the price of grain, but in fact, they will be paralyzed and let them not know what we are doing."

Cao Anmin nodded. Yang Hong is a guy who only receives food every day and does nothing. He really needs him to go out and do some activities at this moment.The three of them made a plan and then moved. The navy warship went to Jiangdong to buy grain. Cao Anmin and Xu Guangqi planned secretly to ensure that everything was safe.

Chapter 175

Four days have passed, and now, there are only two things that the people of Xuzhou have passed on by word of mouth.

One is when the price of food will rise more, and the other is how to sell it so early.

In just a few days, the price of food gradually increased, and finally rose to a price of [-] yuan per stone.

Under the joint efforts of all the aristocratic families, they basically bought all the food in Xuzhou City.Some greedy farmers even sold part of their rations for money.

These aristocratic families in Xuzhou were not easy-going. In just a few days, they completely overthrew Cao Anmin's rule.

Why did a feudal dynasty, especially a huge empire that had ruled for hundreds of years, perish?Is it because of stupidity, because of exorbitant taxes, in fact, it is neither.

In fact, the biggest reason is because of land mergers.Powerful families continued to annex land.And the people continue to sell their apprentices, become tenant farmers, and become poor.There is really no way out, so they can only take risks and rebel.

At this moment, inside the ancestral house of the Li family in Changli, Li Fen, the head of the Li family, Tian Guang, the head of the Tian family, and Xu Jing, the head of the Xu family, were sitting in the small living room of Zhuangzi.
