"I come first, I come first!"
Some peddlers who resell grain quarreled over the profits, and even fought violently, and they would not hesitate to get their heads broken.
At the same time, within the Li family's ancestral house, the threshold stones were almost broken, and the heads of one family after another came.The purpose of everyone coming here is extremely consistent, all because the food price battle has completely failed.
"Patriarch Li, tell me what to do now!"
"That's right, Brother Li, now the money I've accumulated for generations is really lost."
"Brother Li, you have to be responsible for us. You are the one who came up with the idea of buying food. Now that it has become like this, you must be responsible for us."
"Responsible?" Li Fen stared wide-eyed, looking at the aggressive family heads in front of him, without any kindness on his face.
"What are you doing in our Li family! Get out, get out!" Li Ping looked at the arrogant family heads in front of him, and opened his mouth to curse directly, not caring so much.
"Young Master Li Ping, it's not right for you to do this. We listened to your father and son and put all our wealth and lives on it. Now you are talking like this. Are you planning to cross the river and tear down the bridge?"
While talking, Tian Guang strode in from outside, his face was extremely gloomy, and he was begged for mercy by these aristocratic families.
"Brother Tian, if we continue to purchase like this, we may really not be able to support it, why don't we release food!"
"Release food?" Li Fen stood up, speaking in a hurry.
"It doesn't make any sense to buy again. According to the situation in the past few days, at least 20 shi of grain and grass have been added to the market, and we have no spare energy to swallow it. If we don't stop now, I'm afraid we will die in the end. of."
Li Fen shook his head helplessly and said, "It's too late, do you know where these grains come from?"
"Didn't those traders bring it from Yangzhou?"
Li Fen shook his head, his face full of despair.
"We have all been deceived. The Yangtze River waterway is all blocked. Where can there be any merchants who can transport grain and grass to Xuzhou. The grain and grass are transported from Yangzhou by Cao Anmin himself, and then while calming the grain price in Xuzhou, he keeps earning money from us. The price difference. If we lose, we will lose completely."
Tian Guang's body went limp, and he collapsed on the chair with a plop.
"How is it possible, how is this possible!"
Over the past few days, they have purchased a total of more than 200 million stones of grain and grass. According to the value, it is worth more than 40 gold.
Now that all the money has fallen into Cao Anmin's hands, no matter how much food and grass he has in his hands, what is the use of it?
"Brother Li, something is wrong with Brother Li." Xu Jing ran in in a panic, his hair had all come loose at some point, looking extremely embarrassed.
"what happened?"
"Just now the State Shepherd's Mansion suddenly issued a message that starting today, the price of selling grain and rice is only [-] yuan per stone."
"What, five hundred dollars? Is Cao Anmin crazy?" Li Ping stood up abruptly, looking at Xu Jing in front of him, his expression changed drastically.
"In my opinion, it's not that he's crazy, but that Cao Anmin is already planning to break the can and break the face with us." No matter how confused Li Fen was, he now understood what Cao Anmin meant.
Not to mention that many families in Xuzhou were seriously injured by such a disturbance, and it was also because of a large number of burning, killing and looting in the process of collecting food, grass and land.These things are enough for Cao Anmin to use them as a basis to crusade against them.
"The matter has come to this, we have to make a choice. If we don't resist, we can only wait for Cao Anmin's butcher's knife to be put on our heads. Instead of sitting and waiting to die, it is better to unite and declare war on Cao Anmin, and fight against him. Fight." Since Li Ping dared to instigate his father to fight against Cao Anmin, he naturally had the guts to fight Cao Anmin to the end.
"Crazy, that's Cao Anmin, God of War. That's a character that even Sun Ce, Liu Biao, Zhang Xiu, and Lu Bu can't defeat. Are we going to fight against his tens of thousands of troops with our own servants?"
"Cao Anmin doesn't have the guts to completely slaughter our family members. As long as we work together, we will definitely be able to gain a chance. Li Tian and his family are both grasshoppers on the same rope. Do you still want to run away?"
Tian Guang's eyes changed drastically, and he was filled with regret.If I hadn't united with Li Fen back then, even though I was relying on others like the Chen family, it would be better than the catastrophe that is imminent now.
People's hearts are already in turmoil, no matter how strong the aristocratic family is, it is useless if they cannot be twisted together.
Chapter 179
In the study, Mi Zhu was reading a book when Mi Fang walked in quickly.
"Brother, something is wrong." Mi Fang has always been unsteady in doing things, and because of this, Mi Zhu has been hesitating whether to hand over all the family affairs to him.
"Zifang! I have taught you so many times for my brother, why are you always so frizzy?"
Mi Fang didn't care about that much, looked at the brother in front of her and shouted: "It's terrible, it's really terrible, those guys, those guys actually plan to join forces to fight Cao Anmin."
The bamboo slips in Mi Zhu's hand fell to the table with a clatter, and he looked at his younger brother with an unbelievable look.
After worshiping the ancestors, he and his sister were not in a hurry to go back.One reason is that the entire border was sealed off by Cao Anmin, and they would never be able to leave without a document stamped by Cao Anmin himself.Second, it was also because he regretted his choice at the beginning, and staying in Xuzhou was to find another way out.
But he didn't expect that such a situation would happen now.
The battle between the aristocratic family and the princes, since the beginning of the troubled times, I am afraid this is the first time.
"Brother, Li Fen asked us to help, what do you think?"
As the strongest family in Xuzhou right now, if the Mi family did not participate, the odds of winning for Li Xutian's family would be much smaller.
"Crazy, these people are really crazy. Confronting Cao Anmin is like hitting a stone with an egg. Zifang, go and tell them that our Mi family will never get involved."
Mi Fang nodded and was about to leave.
"Wait, wait, let me think about it!"
Mi Zhu said, pacing back and forth in the room, looking at the moon outside from time to time.After pondering for a while, he finally made a decision.
"The opportunity you and my brother have been waiting for has finally come, Zifang, immediately report the news to Cao Anmin."
Although Mi Fang is stupid, she just reacts a little slower.As soon as his brother said this, he immediately reacted.
"Brother, do you want to..."
Mi Zhu was originally born as a businessman, and of course a businessman is only interested in profit.
Small businessmen value money, medium businessmen value intelligence, and giant businessmen value society.
Mi Zhu has always regarded Lu Buwei as his own example, learning from him in everything, and because of this, he married his sister to Liu Bei in exchange for a future.
It's a pity that there is only one younger sister. If she wants to achieve success now, she can only start from scratch and find another place.
After much deliberation, the best candidate is Cao Anmin.
"That's right, it's not just that, Zifang, you gather all the rest of our family and tenants, and I want to help Cao Anmin and accomplish great things."
Outside the city of Changli, there are crowds of people.Outside the city, 36 aristocratic families in Xuzhou gathered here, with a total of nearly 8 tenant farmers.
Changli City was originally Li's lair, and before the county magistrate could react, the entire city had already been lost.
Li Fen personally took the command, and the head of the 36 families was the commander. He was caught off guard and took Chengxian and Yinping in one go. If Bao Zheng hadn't discovered it when he attacked Lanling, it would have been difficult to hold even Lanling Xiangben.
Even so, the loss of half of Donghai County was not a small blow to Cao Anmin.
