Suizhou, Liangyuan.

After receiving support from the silver from the rear, the three alliances' subsequent offensive became more and more fierce.

They exchanged silver for copper coins, even if it was one or two taels for five hundred coins, and then used copper coins to buy a large amount of grain from the Shenjia Grain Store. In just a few days, they bought more than 200,000 shi of grain, which forced several grain shops in the city to temporarily close their doors and did not want to sell their grain again.

Fan Changyue and the others were naturally extremely satisfied with such a result. Although this made them spend more than 100,000 taels of silver in just a short time, in their opinion, this was just a temporary investment, and it would not take long to make all the money back with capital and interest!

At this time, they realized that they could see the dawn of victory, so they asked people to prepare to raise prices and sell grain step by step, and placed a banquet in the garden and invited many merchants from inside and outside Suizhou to say hello. They wanted to officially increase the grain prices in a few days, forcing the people in the city to buy grain at high prices as they wished until they paid out the land.

At this time, Hu Guanjue was raising his glass to look at dozens of merchants of all sizes in the hall, with a complacent smile on his face: "Everyone, we will be able to completely control the grain prices in Suizhou soon, and make a big deal for us to take over Suizhou's real estate!"

As he finished speaking, the others agreed, raised their glasses and then all showed the bottom of the cup. Especially those small merchants with limited financial resources and did not have much food in their hands, they flattered and flattered: "This time, thanks to the bosses who are willing to help and support me, I will make a small profit with me. I am really grateful to the small merchants."

"Yes, yes, if Boss Fan, Boss Hu and Boss Cai, you guys, I'd probably have been defeated by the Shen family's means. The little guys, like me, have no choice but to thank him with this glass of wine. If you have some fate in the future, we will be on call."

Faced with such flattery, Fan Changyue and others only smiled and then drank and praised him well, but they didn't take it too seriously. Because they knew that these were just scene words, and the businessman's gratitude and loyalty would be forgotten when he turned around.

But there are some things that still have to be said. Cai Zhili filled himself with a cup and said, "Everyone, please come today. One is to celebrate the upcoming victory in advance; the other is to allow everyone to work together and set the price of grain completely, so that there will be less disputes."

"What you are considering is, I wonder how much do you want to bid?"

"Fifty coins per dou!" Cai Zhili smiled and said the numbers that moved everyone and was stunned. After a long time, someone realized: "How much more? Fifty coins per dou? Boss Cai, is this a bit too high?" Not to mention those ordinary people, even those who have some wealth in their families still felt a little tight when they heard the price of grain.

"Is it too much?" Cai Zhiyi smiled slightly, "If it were normal, the price of such grain would naturally be extremely high. But now, after all, it is different from the past. After the disaster, the fields have been in recent years without grain collection, so the price of grain will naturally be expensive. If they think it is expensive, they just don't eat it."

"But..." Someone still subconsciously wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Hu Guanjue's words: "And we spent a lot of money to raise the price of grain. Otherwise, how can we make money back? We are running around, not to make money, don't you think so?"

"Yes... yes." After hearing what they said, everyone didn't dare to question it anymore. Originally, the higher the food price, the more benefits everyone could get, so they were naturally happy. But after responding, some people still said: "It's just that, I'm not afraid of those disaster victims causing trouble, and the government..."

"You can rest assured that the government has already handed us a secret. As long as we pay enough money, grain and taxes for this year, they will be absolutely right. As for those victims, or the troublemakers in the future, they will be even less worried. They will have their own government office to deal with them." Fan Changyue said with a smile, looking confident.

As early as when they wanted to raise the grain prices in Suizhou, they had already spent a lot of money to bribe local officials. In addition, the pressure from the superiors made local officials turn a blind eye to all their actions.

With this guarantee, the merchants were completely relieved. Thinking that they were about to make a fortune, they were all excited and raised their glasses toast again. For a moment, the atmosphere at the banquet reached the highest point, and the cups and cups were really lively.

As one of the three families, Fan Changyue was naturally the focus of everyone's flattery and pleasing. At the banquet, dozens of people were toasted in turn, which made him almost drunk. Then he was supported by the servants and stumbled to the outside room for convenience.

And just as he came to the toilet drunk and was about to release the water, a voice sounded from behind: "Fourth Brother, don't be fine."

This familiar voice and title made Fan Changyue stunned slightly, and then turned her head and looked at her. With a drunken eye, she saw Fan Changguang, a brother of his clan, standing at the door and smiling at him. This made him laugh a little: "I'm really drunk, why did I see Lao Jiu appear here..." He should be at Xiangfan's home.

But I heard the other party say, "You read that right. I came from Xiangfan just to see you and convey a decision at home."

"You... are you true?" Fan Changyue muttered, not even bothering to tidy up her scattered clothes, so she reached out to touch the other person. Then Fan Changguang avoided him with disgust, and then slapped his wet right hand away: "Beware, why don't I take you to wash your face?" As she said that, she brought her brother who was still a little dazed to the water tank beside her, scooped a scoop of water and handed it over.

Fan Changyue took it casually, but because of thirst, she didn't wash her face. She poured a big mouth into her mouth. Most of the others fell on her face and body, making his body wet most of it, and also boosted his spirits. She finally woke up a lot: "Lao Jiu, why are you here? Is something wrong at home?"

"It was something happened at home, but I couldn't understand it in one or two words." Fan Changguang looked at him and said solemnly, "The uncle at home asked me to ask you to go back and sell all the food we had to the Shen family."

"What did you say?" Fan Changyue thought she had hallucinations after being drunk, otherwise how could her family send someone to give her such an order? She was going to get a big victory, and only some food was needed to get a large area of ​​fertile land. Why did she suddenly change her mind and stop? Also, what does it mean to sell the grain back to the Shen family? Are they not big opponents in their own business?

Fan Changguang repeated it again, and finally confirmed that what he heard was correct, and it was not an illusion. Fan Changyue screamed in shock: "Are you crazy? Why did you change your mind at this time? I don't believe it. This must be a lie that you jealous of me that I can make up for my family..."

His words were interrupted by a wooden sign slap in his hand. After seeing the words and carvings on it, Fan Changyue was even more shocked, and the drunkenness almost completely dissipated - because he recognized that this wooden sign was the trust of the head of the Fan family, which means that this words were the patriarch's meaning, and it was not something that his son could violate the opposition.

"What's wrong with this? Why... Is this a decision?" Although Fan Changyue woke up and was completely confused, she couldn't figure out how her family would make such a decision.

"Anyway, my words have arrived, just do it. If you still recognize yourself as the Fan family, prepare to go back as soon as possible and sell the food to the Shen family secretly. There has been news there and will cooperate with you." Fan Changguang did not give him too many opportunities to think and continued, "If you still refuse to do it, I will replace you next and ask someone to escort you back. At that time, it is hard to say what you will face."

"You..." Fan Changyue looked at her brother, then at the wooden sign in her hand, and finally had to choose to obey, "I'll do what you said. What about the others?"

"Then we don't have to worry about it, we just need to do it." Seeing that he compromised, Fan Changguang finally breathed a sigh of relief. If he really tore his face apart and if he was really screaming and attracting everyone else, he really didn't know how to deal with the people of the Hu and Cai family. For the Fan family, this time, they must be cautious and hide from these two alliances in order to take the initiative in the future!

Fan Changyue, who had already made the decision, had no intention of going back to drink, so he quickly returned to his yard. After sitting down and thinking for a while, he suddenly understood the problem: "Did it be that our Fan family suddenly changed their minds and decided to join forces with the Shen family? But why? His previous actions were obviously more profitable, why did they give up?" He naturally could not know what happened, but he knew one thing, that is, his actions must be absolutely secretive in the future, and the other two families must not realize that they have stood opposite them.

On the other hand, the banquet continued, and everyone was drunk, and even Fan Changyue didn't come back after she left. And the next day, they couldn't afford to get drunk and handed over everything they should do to their subordinates.

In this way, they didn't know what the Fan family had done or met someone during this day.

In the eyes of other merchants, victory is within reach. I just wait for tomorrow to let the grain shops under my name pay the price, and then I can wait and see the people of Suizhou sell their fields at extremely low prices in panic.

Everything is no longer hindered, just waiting for a smooth land collection.
