Volume 40 Chapter 29 Darkness Arrives (3)

"All the elders sitting here are the elders of Huaiyuantang. If the patriarch has something to say, please speak up. As long as it is for Huaiyuantang, no matter what the patriarch says, all the elders will understand!" Elder Murray said in a deep voice .

After Elder Murray finished speaking, Zhang Tie and the other elders nodded.

"Today, everyone is discussing matters in the ancestral hall of the family. Everything is naturally based on the interests of Huaiyuantang. We are all descendants of Huaiyuantang first, and then a member of the Taixia Chinese clan. Please rest assured the patriarch!" Elder Mu Yuan Also spoke.

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 palm echoed in the empty ancestral hall, two family deacons came out from the shadow of the ancestral hall and came to the round table with the elders. One of the deacons held a There was something on a plate, which seemed to be a piece of information, and another family deacon distributed the information to the elders sitting here.

Zhang Tie also got a piece of information, and read it. With the strong spiritual power of the Earth Knight, Zhang Tie looks at these documents now as if a camera is taking pictures. He can read a page at a glance, and he can Remember, there are only two pages in the entire document, and Zhang Tie finished it in the blink of an eye.

With Zhang Tie's composure, after reading those two pages of information, his whole body was shocked, and he looked at Zhang Taixuan with astonished eyes.

In the light of the fire in the main hall of the Huaiyuantang Ancestral Hall, Zhang Taixuan's face was as deep as water, and he couldn't tell what was going on in his heart. , but it is also ten lines at a glance, and it can be read in the blink of an eye. Zhang Tie noticed that after Elder Mu Yu and Elder Murray finished reading it, the hands holding the thin document trembled uncontrollably. After a while, it seemed that those two pages of information weighed a thousand catties.

After a few breaths, all the elders of the family clan finished reading the things in their hands, and looked at Zhang Taixuan with shocked eyes.

"Excuse me, patriarch... How did the patriarch get this thing?" Elder Mu Yu's voice trembled.

"One week after the Wangri Incident, the Youzhou Governor's Office received a notification from the Northeast Governor's Office. It contained a list of the Tongtian Sect clans in various states who participated in the Blood Sea God's Pool. The Governor's Office asked Youzhou to help seal it up. The industries of these families in Youzhou and the heads of these families are wanted. After I got the list of the families of the Tongtian Sect in each state, I gave the list to the Changfeng Merchant Group, and let the Changfeng Merchants No matter what price the group pays, they must find out and report the family business run by these Tongtianjiao family members in the shortest possible time. After nearly two months of hard work by the Changfeng Business Group, these Tongtianjiao family members The businesses run by clans and influential business groups have all been found out, and after screening and analysis, this first-hand information and intelligence is now available!"

Zhang Taixuan looked solemnly at the elders sitting there, and his cold voice echoed in the hall of the ancestral hall, "The business group of Wen's family in Pingsha Valley of Zhongzhou was engaged in the trade of grain and grain seeds. After the revolution, it was revealed that among the seventy-eight Tongtianjiao families and forces in the Taixia states, there were as many as sixty-one families that also engaged in grain and grain trade. Among these sixty-one families, Because of the support and care of Dasinong Han Zhengfang, three of the families, the Gao family of Guweitang in Liangzhou, the Ke family of Pingshutang in Gyeongju, and the Zhang family of Huayuntang in Ezhou, who belong to the same Zhang family as us The business groups are all among the top ten agricultural merchants in Taixia. In the past few decades, these families have sold various grain seeds, purchased distributed grain, and reclaimed farms, all over the states of Taixia. ,

Even Youzhou has their business, and the grain seeds and grain business of the other fifty-eight family forces also have a large market share in at least one state or several states! Is it a coincidence that so many Tongtianjiao family members are involved in agriculture and grain business at the same time? "

"Every elder should know that Taixia's grain and grain seed trade is not a monopoly business. Anyone can do it, and the profit is very thin. Only after that can we make money, so our Changfeng Merchant Group arrived at the beginning of Taixia and was not involved in this business. However, during the decades when Han Zhengfang was the chief minister, these Tongtianjiao clans have been involved in agriculture and In the field of grain trade, are they doing it to make money? If they make money, with Han Zhengfang's rights as a farmer, there are definitely better ways to make money for these families to get involved in, but these families The whole family chooses to do it in an industry that does not make money, why is that?"

At this time, the air in the main hall of the ancestral hall seemed to be condensed, with an inexplicable chill, which could not be dispelled even by the burning fires in several main halls.

All the elders stopped talking, including Zhang Tie, because everyone thought of the same possibility.

The most shocked one was Zhang Tie. Sun Jiagu, who he only met during the day, was worried by what Sun Jiagu said. Unexpectedly, in this ancestral hall, the news brought by Zhang Taixuan was worse than what Sun Jiagu said. Ten thousand times more serious.

Agriculture is the foundation of stability in the world, and it is also the basis for the survival of the Chinese people. If there is no 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 vitality. It is the foundation of state power and social stability. There will be nothing left, and all kinds of contradictions will explode violently. Han Zhengfang has been in the position of Dasinong for so many years, and so many Tongtianjiao clans have been involved in it. Its influence and scope are so wide that it is difficult to estimate. During the war, it was enough to shake Taixia's country.

The most serious crisis experienced by the Chinese before the catastrophe, which almost led to the complete extinction of the entire Chinese, was that the traitor forces within the Chinese and the corrupt and traitorous bureaucratic groups cooperated with the Three-Eyed Society to usurp the food sovereignty of the Chinese. , after controlling the agricultural production and grain supply chain of the Chinese people, it is precisely because of the extremely tragic lessons that until today, among the Grade A cities in Taixia, the grain is listed as the most in the six storehouses. important item.

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 heavy, and the armrest of the chair that Elder Mu Yuan was sitting on slapped, but it was smashed to pieces by Elder Mu Yuan's hand.

Even Zhang Tie, when he heard such news suddenly, felt that his mind went blank for a short period of time. After a short period of blankness, only one sentence came to Zhang Tie's mind - the strongest fortress always starts from The interior is breached!

Zhang Tie closed his eyes in pain...

"The Great Sinong Han Zhengfang is the leader of the Tongtian Sect, and the Tongtian Sect has colluded with the demons. A group of Tongtianjiao clans and forces have painstakingly planned and operated in Taixia's agriculture and grain fields. They definitely have evil intentions, and the demons will never let them go." Such an opportunity, so I have enough reasons to suspect that the biggest purpose of Han Zhengfang's sitting on the position of the chief farmer is to shake and destroy the foundation of the existence of Taixia and the Hua people from the foundation, and to shake up Taixia's agriculture. Hands and feet, the grains managed by the Tongtianjiao family, especially the grains, may have been demonized. Judging from the growth status of the blood people in the blood sea god pool that broke out in various states, the demons have conspired in the agricultural field of Taixia. The result of this may be fully erupted within these two years!"

"Han Zhengfang has been the chief farmer for many years, and the grain and grain trade of various Tongtianjiao clans have already spread all over Taixia. After so many years, no one can tell how the agricultural field of Taixia has been infiltrated. , for the survival of Huaiyuantang, Huaiyuantang must make timely countermeasures, which is why I summoned all the elders to come here to participate in this family meeting!" Zhang Taixuan looked around everyone again, "Although I hope my These speculations are all false, but in this situation, Huaiyuantang has no choice but to make the worst plan in order to survive the desperate situation, and I invite all the elders to speak freely, and everyone brainstorms to survive this catastrophe!"

All the elders were silent for a while, and then everyone focused their attention on Zhang Tie's face. Zhang Tie had a special status, and Ma Shan was the first Supreme Elder of Huaiyuan Hall. When speaking, Zhang Tie was naturally the first to say it, which is respect and rules.

Under everyone's gaze, Zhang Tie's closed eyes slowly opened, he sighed first, his voice was low and his eyes were heavy, "The patriarch's words just now are not guesswork, and everyone should stop taking any chances, Tongtian The grains traded by various business groups have indeed been demonized!"

The elders looked at each other in blank dismay. No one expected that Zhang Tie would be so sure of Zhang Taixuan's guess and judgment as soon as he opened his mouth. Just after Zhang Taixuan finished speaking, there was indeed a hint of luck in the hearts of the elders.

In the silence of several elders, Elder Mu En asked a question that everyone cared about on behalf of all the elders, "I don't know how Elder Mu Shen can be so sure!"

"I came to Baohu City early today, and I walked around Baohu City by myself. Unexpectedly, I met someone unexpectedly..." Zhang Tie told the story of his encounter with Sun Jiagu in a calm tone. Repeatedly, "In the Tongtian Sect, even family members like Chengjia have been quietly poisoning the people of Taixia with demonized Chinese medicinal materials, destroying Taixia's recovery ability and ability in the Holy War without a trace. The ability to manufacture low-level medicines on a large scale, how can other grains managed by the Tongtianjiao family be an exception? At this moment, Taixia, I am afraid that poisonous seeds are already everywhere. This is definitely a fait accompli fact. You guys will see it right away!"

At this moment, Zhang Tie was shocked and sad. After violent mental activities such as blankness and confusion, the whole person's thinking has returned to that kind of empty state, and there is an indescribable calmness and wisdom in the whole person's voice...
