"The people sitting here are all the elders of Huaiyuantang. If you have anything to say, please speak directly. As long as it is for Huaiyuantang, no matter what the patriarch says, all the elders will understand!" Elder Murray said solemnly.
After Elder Murray finished speaking, Zhang Tie and the other elders nodded.
"Today we are discussing matters in the family ancestral hall, and everything will naturally focus on the interests of Huaiyuantang. We are all descendants of Huaiyuantang first, and then members of the Taixia Chinese clan. Please rest assured, clan leader!" Elder Mu Yuan also said. .
Seeing that all the elders had expressed their opinions, Zhang Taixuan nodded, and then clapped his palms twice.
As the sound of Zhang Taixuan's palms echoed in the empty ancestral hall, two family deacons walked out of the shadows of the ancestral hall and came to the round table where the elders were gathered. One of the deacons was holding a plate in his hand. There were some things inside, which seemed to be pieces of information, and another family deacon distributed the information to the various elders sitting there.
Zhang Tie also got a piece of information and began to read it. With the powerful mental power of the Earth Knight, Zhang Tie now looked at these information as if a camera were taking pictures. He could read one page at a glance, and he could Remember, the entire information is only two pages long, Zhang Tie can read it in the blink of an eye.
With Zhang Tie's calmness, after reading the two pages of information, he was shocked and looked at Zhang Taixuan with surprised eyes.
In the firelight in the Huaiyuantang Ancestral Hall, Zhang Taixuan's face was as dark as water, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking. He had an unfathomable feeling. Although the other elders did not look as fast as Zhang Tie, they The same is true for one eye and ten lines. He finished reading it in the blink of an eye, Zhang Tie noticed. After Elder Mu Yu and Elder Murray read it, their hands holding the thin piece of information could not help but tremble. It was as if those two pages of information weighed a thousand pounds.
In a few breaths, all the family elders had finished looking at what they had in their hands, and each of them looked at Zhang Taixuan with shocked eyes.
"Excuse me, Patriarch... how did Patriarch get this... this thing?" There was a tremor in Elder Mu Yu's voice.
"One week after the Wangri Incident, Youzhou Governor's Office received a situation report from the Northeast Governor's Office. It contained a list of Tongtian Sect families from various states who participated in the Blood Sea Divine Pond. The Governor's Office asked Youzhou to help seize these families. After getting the list of Tongtian Sect families in Youzhou and the wanted persons of these families, I gave the list to the Changfeng Merchant Group, so that the Changfeng Merchant Group must pay no matter what the price. The family businesses run by these Tongtianjiao families were found out and reported in the shortest possible time. After nearly two months of efforts by the Changfeng Business Group, the businesses run by these Tongtianjiao families and powerful business groups were all figured out. , after screening and analysis, we have this first-hand information and intelligence!"
Zhang Taixuan glanced solemnly at the elders sitting there, and his cold voice echoed in the ancestral hall, "Back then, the Wen family's business group in Pingsha Valley, Zhongzhou, was engaged in grain and grain seed trade. After the Wangri Incident, It was revealed that among the seventy-eight Tongtian Sect families and forces in Taixia Prefecture, there were actually sixty-one families that also engaged in grain and grain seed trade. Among these sixty-one families, because of the great minister Nong Han Zhengfang With support and care, three of them, the Gao family of Liangzhou Guweitang, the Ke family of Qingzhou Pingshutang, and the business group of the Zhang family of Ezhou Huayundang, who are of the same Zhang family as us, are all ranked in Taixia. Among the top ten agricultural merchants. In the past few decades, these families have sold various grain seeds, purchased grain for circulation, and cultivated farms. They are all over Taixia Prefecture, and even Youzhou has their business. The grain seeds and grain business of the other fifty-eight families also have a large market share in at least one or several states! Is it a coincidence that so many Tongtianjiao families are involved in agriculture and grain seeds business at the same time? "
"Every elder should know that the grain and grain seed trade in Taixia is not a monopoly business. Anyone can do it, and the profit is very thin. Precisely because the grain seed and grain seed business has very thin profit, only when it reaches a large scale can you make money. Earn money, so when our Changfeng Merchant Group first arrived in Taixia, we were not involved in this business. However, during the decades that Han Zhengfang served as the chief agricultural officer, these Tongtianjiao families have been involved in the fields of agriculture and grain trade. Could it be that Are they trying to make money? If they are making money, with Han Zhengfang's power as a big farmer, there are definitely better ways for these families to get involved, but these families have chosen unprofitable industries to do it. Why is this? "
The air in the ancestral hall seemed to be condensing at this time, carrying an inexplicable chill that even the burning fires in several halls could not dispel.
All the elders stopped talking, including Zhang Tie, because everyone thought of the same possibility.
The most shocked person was Zhang Tie. Sun Jiagu, whom he had just met during the day, was worried by what Sun Jiagu said. Unexpectedly, in the ancestral hall, the news brought by Zhang Taixuan was worse than what Sun Jiagu said. Ten thousand times more serious.
Agriculture is the foundation for the stability of the world and the basis for the survival of the Chinese nation. Without food or there is a problem with the food supply in Taixia, people will starve to death, legions will not be able to fight, and cities will lose their vitality. This is the basis of national power and social stability. It will disappear, and all kinds of contradictions will violently erupt. Han Zhengfang has been in the position of Chief Agriculture Officer for so many years, and with so many Tongtian Sect families involved in it, its influence and scope are so wide that it is simply inestimable. Once any problems arise in the agricultural field of Taixia, in the midst of the Holy War, , which is enough to shake the foundation of Taixia.
The most serious crisis that the Chinese experienced before the catastrophe, which almost led to the complete destruction of the entire Chinese nation, was that the traitor forces and corrupt and traitorous bureaucratic groups within the Chinese nation cooperated with the Three Eyes Association to usurp the Chinese nation’s food sovereignty and control It was caused by the Chinese agricultural production and grain supply chain. It is precisely because of the extremely tragic lessons that today, in the Class A city of Taixia, grain seeds are listed as the most important among the six warehouse reserves. project.
Unexpectedly, more than 900 years after the catastrophe, the same scene might happen again in Taixia...
Around the round table, Elder Murray's breath suddenly became thicker, and the armrest of the chair where Elder Mu Yuan was sitting cracked and was crushed to pieces by Elder Mu Yuan's hand.
Even Zhang Tie, when he suddenly heard such news, felt that his brain went blank for a short period of time. After a brief blank period, Zhang Tie only thought of one sentence in his head - the strongest fortress always starts from the inside. Breached!
Zhang Tie closed his eyes in pain...
"Grand Secretary Nong Han Zhengfang is the leader of the Tongtian Sect, and the Tongtian Sect colludes with the Demon Clan. The Tongtian Sect families and forces are working hard to operate in the agricultural and grain fields of Taixia. They definitely have evil intentions, and the Demon Clan will never let this go. opportunity, so I have enough reason to suspect that Han Zhengfang’s biggest purpose in taking the position of Chief Agriculture Officer is to fundamentally shake and destroy the foundation of the existence of Taixia and the Chinese nation, and to tamper with Taixia’s agriculture. The grains, especially the grains, managed by the Tongtian Sect family may have been demonized. Judging from the growth status of the bloody people in the Blood Sea Divine Pond that broke out in various states, the results of the demon clan's conspiracy in the agricultural field of Taixia are: It may explode within the next two years!"
"Han Zhengfang has been serving as chief agricultural officer for many years. The grain and grain trade of various Tongtian Sect families has long spread across Taixia. After so many years, no one can tell what kind of situation Taixia's agricultural field has been penetrated into. In order to For the survival of Huaiyuantang, Huaiyuantang must make timely countermeasures. This is why I called all the elders here to attend this family meeting!" Zhang Taixuan looked around at everyone again, "Although I hope these guesses of mine are all false. , but under this situation, Huaiyuantang has no choice but to make the worst plan in order to survive the desperate situation. I also ask all the elders to speak freely and let us pool our wisdom to survive this catastrophe!"
All the elders were silent for a moment, and then everyone focused their attention on Zhang Tie's face. Zhang Tie had a special status. Ma Shan was the first Supreme Elder of Huaiyuantang. At this time, it was natural for him to speak. Zhang Tie was the first to say that this is respect and rules.
Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Tie slowly opened his closed eyes, and sighed first, with a low voice and heavy eyes, "What the patriarch just said was not a guess. Don't take any chances, Tongtian." The grains traded by various business groups have indeed been demonized!"
Several elders looked at each other in confusion. No one expected that Zhang Tie would confirm Zhang Taixuan's guess and judgment as soon as he opened his mouth. Just after Zhang Taixuan finished speaking, several elders did have a trace of luck in their hearts.
In the silence of several elders, Elder Mu En spoke on behalf of all the elders and asked a question that everyone was concerned about, "I don't know how Elder Mu can be so sure!"
"I came to Baohu City relatively early today, so I walked around Baohu City alone. Unexpectedly, I met someone unexpectedly..." Zhang Tie told the story of how he met Sun Jiagu in a calm tone. Again, "In the Tongtian Sect, even families like Chengjia have been quietly poisoning the people of Taixia with demonized Chinese medicinal materials, destroying Taixia's ability to recover during the Holy War without leaving a trace, and manufacturing low-level pharmaceuticals on a large scale. With the ability, how can the other grains managed by the Tongtian Sect family be an exception? At this moment, Taixia is probably already covered with poisonous seeds. This is definitely an established fact, and the elders will see it soon!"
At this moment, Zhang Tie was shocked and sad. After intense mental activities such as blankness and confusion, the whole person's thinking returned to that empty state, and there was an indescribable calmness and wisdom in the whole person's voice...
