"Hahaha! Wonderful! Wonderful! Boss An's plan is very clever! Now all the major grain stores in Taiyuan City have no grain to sell, and the people are panicked. I think it won't be long before the people in Taiyuan City will be Rebellion! Let’s see if the governor Wang dares to continue to seal the city gate!”
In the underground secret room of Kang Qu's mansion in Jining Fang, west of Taiyuan City, Kang Qu, Kang Songping, An Shunshan and others were still sitting around the round table. At this time, Kang Songping, who had just received the news from outside, couldn't help but Fu Zhang laughed.
"Yes, that's right! Boss An's move wiped out the firepower and caused chaos in Taiyuan City instantly. It can be regarded as venting bad anger for Brother Chang'an!"
"Boss An is still well-informed and resourceful. Now I see how arrogant the Taiyuan government is!"
After Kang Songping finished speaking, several people immediately sent compliments to Anshun Mountain.
The atmosphere in the secret room was peaceful. The dark clouds that had previously shrouded everyone's heads seemed to have disappeared at this moment, and the weather had completely cleared up!
However, Anshunshan himself did not show any joy because his strategy worked. His face was expressionless, as if he was thinking about something.
Kang Qu was as attentive as a hair and the best at observing words and expressions. When he saw what was happening, he couldn't help but ask: "Brother An, the Taiyuan Governor's Office is in chaos right now. We have vented our anger for Brother Chang An who died in vain, but why do you look so different?" Not very happy?"
After listening to Kang Qu's words, everyone suddenly became quiet and turned their attention to Anshun Mountain.
Hearing the sound, Anshunshan came back from his deep thoughts and said calmly:
"An advises you not to be too optimistic. In any case, Taiyuan City is the largest city in the north of the Tang Dynasty. Even if we mobilize people to evacuate all the food from the major grain stores in the city, we still want to overthrow the governor of Taiyuan with this. The government is a bit wishful thinking! Don’t forget, there is an official warehouse in Taiyuan City! As far as An knows, the grain stored in the Taiyuan official warehouse is no less than ten thousand stones! The government has so much food, it is fully capable of collecting it in a short time Stabilize the people’s hearts!”
Listening to what this guy meant, all the major grain stores in the city today are out of food, and it was actually them who sent people to do it. You must know that there are dozens of grain stores in Taiyuan City, and all the grain in these grain stores combined There are tens of thousands of stones at least. These people can send people to purchase all the food from the grain stores in the city in just over half an hour, and also take away all the food and hide it. Their financial resources and power are really extraordinary. !
It is said that the only thing people with the nine surnames of Zhaowu are not short of is money, and it seems true!
Anshun Shan's words were like a basin of cold water, causing everyone in the room to calm down in an instant. Kang Songping said anxiously: "By the way! There is also an official warehouse in Taiyuan City! Then what if the governor Wang will use the grain in the official warehouse to If we take it out and sell it to the people, what should we do? We can't buy all the grain released from the government warehouses, right?"
Before Anshunshan could speak, Kang Qu replied: "Of course not! Brother An asked us to send people to the major grain stores in the city to purchase grain and hide it in order to minimize our own risks and avoid If we are discovered by the government, if we send people to buy the grain released from the government warehouse, it will definitely attract the attention of the government! It is not appropriate for us to have a head-on conflict with the government at the moment!"
An Shunshan nodded and agreed: "What brother Kang Qu said is true. We want to ask the Taiyuan government for an explanation on behalf of brother Chang An, but we can't involve ourselves rashly! You know, in the Tang Dynasty It is a serious crime to drive up food prices and hoard them! Although we did not drive up food prices, we did hoard them. We must not reveal any clues to let the government realize that all this was caused by us!"
Anshunshan's words can be said to have touched everyone's heart. Although people with the nine surnames of Zhaowu are extremely good at doing business, and as they have accumulated wealth over the years, they each have a certain "social status", but in the end, they are still businessmen, and they are still timid and fearful at heart. Not many people have the guts to openly confront and conflict with the Taiyuan government!
"In Boss Yi'an's opinion, if the government opens warehouses to release grain, how should we respond? Is it possible to just let it go?"
Kang Songping asked reluctantly.
Hearing this, everyone looked at Anshun Mountain with indignation.
It is true that they were a little afraid of the power of the Taiyuan government, but in the case of Kang Changan, the Taiyuan government's "covering up" and "inaction" really made them so angry that they had to think of ways to protest and go. Save face!
This is a very contradictory mentality, but it is closely related to the current "political status" of the Nine Surnames in the Tang Dynasty, because although they are rich and have made friends with many gentry and gentry, they are still just businessmen. The "political status" has not been fundamentally changed!
Anshunshan looked calm, but he did not answer immediately when everyone asked questions.
At this moment, a steward-looking man walked in, came directly to Kang Qu, and bowed:
"Sir, the governor's office has just mobilized 10,000 shi of grain from Taiyuan's official warehouse and distributed it to major grain stores in the city so that it can be sold to the people in the city at a fair price!"
The old housekeeper did not say this to Kang Qu alone. The rest of the people in the secret room also heard it clearly. When everyone heard the words, they couldn't help but cast an admiring look at Anshun Mountain, thinking that the Taiyuan government was indeed out of control. Got it!
"Yes! I know! You go down!"
Kang Qu waved his hand and said to the old housekeeper.
"yes!"
The old butler walked away.
In the secret room, without waiting for anyone to ask questions, Anshunshan took the initiative and said: "The Taiyuan government not only took action with ten thousand shi of grain, but also responded with ease, because no one knows how many ten thousand shi of grain are left in the official warehouse in Taiyuan." food!"
Kang Qu said with a worried look on his face: "In this case, wouldn't all our previous efforts have been in vain?"
In fact, this guy is a bit ready to back down at this time. In his opinion, he has done his best on the Kang Changan matter. He doesn't want to go all the way and fight with the Taiyuan government to the end!
And he believes that there are not a few people here who think like him!
"Hmph! Of course it's not in vain!"
Anshunshan sneered and said: "If we can pull the trigger once, we can naturally pull the trigger on the Taiyuan government again! This time, as long as we cut off the biggest support of the governor's office, most of the food in the city will belong to us! By then, that will Governor Wang will either come to our door to beg us, or he will open the city gate and send people outside to purchase food... "
