The people who discussed the matter immediately shut up. It was not a joke to talk about the court. They weighed the fact that there were so many heads that were not enough to cut them.

This is how the news spread. Some people said that the head of the Xiao family was furious and was almost out of reach. There were even more explosive news that the Xiao family wanted to be enemies of Youzhou.

All kinds of news were spreading, and seeing that the Xiao family's cement workshop had stopped working, all the staff were fired without paying extra wages.

This incident can be proved that Youzhou has put pressure on the Xiao family and is almost unable to withstand the pressure to compensate all the Xiao family's industries.

The situation of the Xiao family is indeed very bad. Winter is the off-season for business. In a few days, many shops were closed. Although they were not nominally owned by the Xiao family, they actually knew it, but it just didn't explain it.

"Sir, your plan has worked. Now the Xiao family is in chaos. The subordinates have verified the news accurately. Even the head of the Xiao family has not left the door of the back house for many days. Zhang Zhongjian has been to the Xiao family several times and is helping to raise money, but they cannot take out the 50,000 yuan."

"Yeah, you've done a good job. Keep watching any news and report it in time."

In a courtyard outside Jiangling, Li Mi told his subordinates that he was doing the work against the Lijia Salt Mine, and the emperor was naturally standing behind him.

The things that the nominal royal spy did were beyond the spy's authority, but my father-in-law arranged for him to do what he did.

After more than a year of hard work, Li Mi has already taken a high position. It can be said that at least one-tenth of the royal spies in the entire Sui Kingdom must obey his arrangements.

The purpose of this plan was to make the salt production process fail, so the second set of plans was successively thought about, and the information deliberately prompted was left by the official officer.

He didn't know that Hua Chen was a secret spy, but he knew that Hua Chen was related to Li De. He had already mastered the information about Cheng'an Inn in Taiyuan Prefecture and specially arranged people at Cheng'an Inn in Chang'an just in case.

Originally, he planned to kill two birds with one stone, but after attacking the Lijia Salt Mine, he deliberately left clues in the restaurant, thinking of using the knife in Youzhou to get rid of the Xiao family.

Judging from the current situation, the Xiao family has no power to compete with it. Why did they choose to get rid of the Xiao family? It is because in their information, it was mentioned that the Xiao family secretly cultivated power. The merchants in the business industry are all Deadpools raised by the Xiao family, with more than 600 people.

If the workers in the cement workshop were added, if the Xiao family turned the tables, they could at least raise no less than 3,000 soldiers. If Zhang Zhongjian was included, it would be no exaggeration to have 20,000 soldiers.

The Zhang family is the richest man in the south, and is even quite rich in the entire Sui country. If there were no Li De or Li family, the Zhang family would definitely be the well-deserved richest man.

If you sell your property and raise a team, you can support at least 50,000 soldiers and horses. You should know that these 50,000 soldiers and horses can reach the darkness of years of battle.

Zhang Zhongjian was also the target they wanted to eliminate, but the Zhang family's forces were very unfavorable to their actions in the south. At least they could not defeat the south with the Youzhou troops.

It’s not that the vanguard is not strong, but that no one will do that.

According to common sense, it is impossible for vanguard soldiers to use troops internally. Once they do that, it is equivalent to touching the emperor's reverse scale, and a civil war is likely to break out.

The lack of strength of the Xiao family is also a hidden danger, and the most important thing is to have the opportunity to take advantage of it.

Li Mi began to calculate for these reasons, and waiting for it is always the loneliest act. The spies sent to verify the situation of both parties. The Xiao family has become a good deal. Now, Li De has already known the situation and has begun to attack the Xiao family.

The information he had was much more reliable than the rumors. The businessmen in Youzhou had already begun to take action to think that economic pressure was targeting the Xiao family.

The Xiao family's purchase channels and workshop products were targeted in a very short time, and the things could not be sold. The workshop's products had no sales channels. This production was consuming financial resources. In the end, the Xiao family closed most of the industries.

The facts are right in front of him, but Li Mi ignored the economic pressure in Youzhou and did not use Youzhou troops to settle accounts. Such pressure seemed far from enough in his opinion.

What he wanted was to send troops to attack Youzhou. Now it seems that the Xiao family is not worthy of being an enemy. Since this is the case, it would be better to help him.

Li Mi’s new plan came up at this moment.

A few days later, the Xiao family made great moves and sold the store to run away.

Li Mi's spies came back to report immediately after they discovered it.

"Xiao Xian, you can't hold back." Li Mi muttered.

Just after the Xiao family's convoy quietly left the city, Li Mi confirmed that Xiao Xian was transferring property. Since this is the case, if he doesn't stand up, he may miss the opportunity.

Li Mi came to Xiao's house and was welcomed into the living room.

"Dear guest wait, I'll tell the head of the family now."

Li Mi's visit was the head of the Li family. The two families were not very anxious, but it was a coincidence that their ancestors really had some connections. At least they had socialized with their ancestors, after all, they were both famous among their families.

"Cough cough cough!" Xiao Xian's improvement was very bad, and he knew he was sick at first glance.

Li Mi kept observing carefully and did not see any abnormalities.

"The head of the Li family doesn't know what the purpose of visiting?" asked the head of the Xiao family.

"Oh, I heard the instructions in my early years that we had a lot of relationships with our families. Now I heard that the Xiao family is in trouble. I happened to visit Jiangling to see if anyone could help me." Li Mi said.

"You are polite to the head of the Li family. I will be determined to bear the debts of the Xiao family, so I will not drag you down. If you borrow money, there is no place for Changhua to get it, I will take it." Xiao Xian said.

It is natural to be rejected. After all, there are a lot of debts. Even a few families may not be able to get so much money when they join forces.

Li Mi's spies have investigated that Youzhou City Lord's Mansion has indeed collected debts from the Xiao family. Five hundred thousand coins are the case that the Xiao family violated Youzhou Cement.

In name, the Xiao family steals cement formula and then makes huge profits. This behavior is much more serious in Youzhou than stealing. Personal formula can be protected in Youzhou.

The current situation is to use Youzhou's government orders to require the Jiangling Xiao family to abide by it. This involves more things, and the conflict between Youzhou and the Sui State arises.

Li Mi appeared to intensify the conflict.

Xiao Xian didn't appreciate it now, which made him feel a little passive.

"Head of Xiao, my Li family may not be as powerful as other families, but I still have some money, and I can still take out a hundred thousand coins."

When Li Mi said this, Xiao Xian's eyes lit up. This was a normal reaction. Anyone would be surprised if they were replaced. It would be absolutely weird to be able to give out 100,000 yuan to help people think about it.

"What you said is true, you can really pay out 100,000 yuan. What are the conditions?"

Xiao Xian’s excitement was not pretending. He was really curious about what the purpose of this Li Mi was.
