Volume 40 Chapter 31

The elders of Huaiyuantang discussed with the patriarch, and after confirming Tongtianjiao's conspiracy in Taixia, all that was left was to discuss Huaiyuantang's countermeasures.

When it comes to countermeasures, Huaiyuantang has to thank Tundang. At the beginning, the main force of Huaiyuantang family moved from the Weiyi subcontinent to Taixia Youzhou, precisely because Huaiyuantang had such a big Tundang in Taixia. The enemy, Huaiyuantang, whose foothold is not stable, is cautious everywhere, for fear of being swallowed up by the party. After coming to Taixia, the food seeds that Huaiyuantang planted in the dry world reclaimed in Yanghe County all came from Huaiyuantang in the Weiyi subcontinent. reserves.

So, today, if there is any family in Taixia who dares to say that their family's grains can be assured that they have not been polluted by demonized grains, Huaiyuantang must be counted as one.

At the beginning, Huaiyuantang was very cautious in dealing with the Tun Party, but at this moment, it became the capital of Huaiyuantang to face the Taixia crisis. The world is impermanent, which really makes people sigh.

"I read the ancient books of Taixia in the past, and saw in "Wuyue Spring and Autumn", in the thirteenth year of Goujian, the State of Yue lied about the disaster and borrowed thousands of stones from the State of Wu. In Wu, King Wu was overjoyed when he saw the fine millet, and distributed it to the common people to plant, but there was no harvest. When the state of Wu suffered a great famine, the elders of the family and clan returned to Taixia, in order to prevent Huaiyuan hall from being reborn. Followed the same mistakes of Wu State, and was tampered with by the swallowing party. They all suggested to bring the grain seeds from the Weiyi subcontinent, so as not to be controlled by others because of the grain problem after getting Youzhou. I did not expect a seemingly inconspicuous choice made by the elders at the beginning. , Today, it actually has a great effect, and it has saved my Huaiyuantang a glimmer of life in the troubled times!" Zhang Taixuan sighed, and then stood up, "That day Taixuan fought in the Diyuan Realm, and the family affairs, thanks to everyone's death. Planning and making arrangements, all the elders are extremely wise and careful, and you should be worshiped by me!"

"This is my responsibility. As a descendant of Huaiyuantang, I should consider it for Huaiyuantang. I dare not accept such a big gift from the patriarch!" The elders also quickly stood up to return the gift. sit down.

"For today's plan, after the spring of this year, Yanghe County will wantonly open up wasteland and sow seeds, expand the area of ​​cultivated land, plant more grain, and be prepared. In troubled times, if you have grain in your hands, don't panic. As long as there is a harvest, Our Huaiyuantang is not afraid to sit and eat, and we can have more confidence in dealing with the crisis! As for the scarce population of land reclamation, I think Huaiyuantang can recruit from the Chaosang subcontinent or receive refugees trafficked to Youzhou from other subcontinents. The savings of the family It is the right time to use the funds in these places, as long as the funds and personnel are in place, it will not be a problem to reclaim millions of acres of wasteland in Yanghe County within a year." Elder Mu En suggested.

"Elder Mu En's words are true, but there are too many outsiders, and I'm afraid it will not be easy to govern!" Elder Mu Yu added.

"The original Hurricane Legion, after coming to Taixia, was subject to the laws of Taixia. The Hurricane Legion has been disbanded, but the strength of the disbanded Hurricane Legion is still there. It has only been converted into the guards of the various business groups of the family clan and reassembled. It's also easy. I think the Hurricane Legion can be called up again. It is still regarded as a merchant guard in name, but in fact it can be regarded as a garrison army. higher!"

"Yes, this method is good!"

"This matter will be the top priority of the family clan in the future. We must select competent people to take care of the settlement and land reclamation matters! And every quarter, we must report the situation to the patriarch and the elders."

"Following the bloody disaster, grain prices in Taixia states have risen somewhat, higher than last year. Huaiyuantang should now expand its granaries in each city and step up purchases of grain reserves from other places.

When it is really critical, someone will do the thing of exchanging a gold coin for a steamed bun! "

"Elder Mu Yu is right. This matter should not be delayed. The Changfeng Merchant Group and the Huaiyuantang Merchant Group must act as soon as possible. The problems we can analyze here today, the other families of Taixia The wealthy families may not think of it, it’s just that sooner or later, all the wealthy families in Taixia are collecting grain now, but the movement is still relatively slow, and there is no sense of urgency. If everyone reacts and starts collecting grain, the price of grain in Taixia will be higher. At least several times more than it is now, at this time, in the cities of Huaiyuan County, you can buy as much food as you can store!"

"In my opinion, except for those in the city, there is no need to rush to build facilities such as granaries outside the city. Outside the cities of Yanghe County, the best way is to set up new battle forts and set up new war fortresses. The speed of the fort is the fastest. On the one hand, each new battle fort can help each city to do a good job of defense, deal with possible crises in all aspects, and stabilize the hearts of the people in Yanghe County. On the other hand, among these battle forts, We can learn from our experience in the Weiyi subcontinent, let these battle forts act as temporary granaries, and store some of the newly purchased grain in the war forts, that will kill two birds with one stone!"

The elders talked one by one, and in just over half an hour, a series of suggestions and decisions were made during the discussions of the elders.

Huaiyuantang's measures to deal with this crisis, in addition to expanding the area of ​​pits in Yanghe County in the next few years, are also continuously buying land, importing border residents, stationing troops and farming, and controlling the grain sources of Huaiyuantang A series of countermeasures, such as increasing food reserves, stepping up the training of family troops, stepping up targeted foreign intelligence and information work, and how to coordinate and improve relations with other wealthy families in Youzhou, have all been proposed. Come out, continue to improve, and become Huaiyuantang's family strategy in the next year or even a few years.

In terms of combat power, the elders of Huaiyuan Hall may not be Zhang Tie's opponent at the moment, but when it comes to how to deal with such crises, all the elders of Huaiyuan Hall are among them. Masters, all of them are scheming and vicious, none of them will be under Zhang Tie,

During this process, Zhang Tie did not speak, but just listened. The elders of Huaiyuan Hall had already said everything they could say, which benefited Zhang Tie. There are more means and different coping strategies, but now, what these elders said is the best plan that Huaiyuantang can do now, and it is completely impeccable and criticizing.

"Elder Mushen, do you have anything to say?" After the elders finished speaking, Zhang Taixuan turned his gaze to Zhang Tie, who had never spoken, and asked politely.

"The patriarch and all the elders are mature and prudent, and their wisdom is exhaustive. With such a concerted effort, I didn't think about it. I didn't expect all the elders to think about it. I have nothing to say. It is really a blessing for Huaiyuan Hall to have all the elders and patriarchs here!" Zhang Tie said modestly and politely.

Hearing Zhang Tie's praise, Zhang Taixuan smiled, and all the elders stroked their beards with restraint. Zhang Tie's praise was very useful to everyone.

There is one sentence that all the elders did not say, and everyone felt that Huaiyuantang actually had Zhang Tie, a humble and young Supreme Elder who was neither greedy for power, nor was it a blessing for Huaiyuantang. Among the other wealthy families, there are definitely no Supreme Elders who become the Supreme Elder and become domineering, fight for power with the patriarch, suppress and exclude other elders, and make a house full of smog. of. Young and powerful like Zhang Tie, who possesses countless secret methods, can make the princess of the palace obedient, not greedy for power in the family, and treats people politely. In the past few days, all the elders of the family and clan did not go to Jinwu City to disturb Zhang Tie, but the princess of the Guangnan Prince's Mansion has directly changed the news in the Zhang Mansion to call Zhang Tie's parents. Where have you heard of it?

In the eyes of all the elders, the marriage between Huaiyuantang and Guangnan Wangfu is also a certainty. And once he became the son-in-law of Taixia Guangnan Palace, the position of Zhang Tie, the Supreme Elder, in Huaiyuan Hall would be even more honorable and special.

In the same way, if Zhang Tie said that before, the elders would just take it for granted, because Zhang Tie is the youngest even if he is the elder of the family clan, but now Zhang Tie said that, the satisfaction that the elders get is very unusual.

"Since that's the case, then, the matter discussed in the ancestral hall today is settled like this!"

Zhang Taixuan made a decision, and all the elders nodded. At this time, the meeting of the elders of the family clan in Huaiyuan Hall officially ended with the sound of Zhang Taixuan's words.

"Elder Mushen, do you have time to visit Baohu Mountain with me?" Zhang Taixuan asked Zhang Tie.

When all the elders heard this, they all knew that Zhang Taixuan had something to discuss with Zhang Tie, so they didn't say much, and after saying goodbye to Zhang Taixuan and Zhang Tie, they left the ancestral hall one after another.

"Okay!" Zhang Tie also said simply.

Then the two of them walked out of the main hall of the ancestral hall behind the elders, and walked directly to the top of the mountain along the stone steps behind the main hall of the ancestral hall.

It gets dark early in winter, and it wasn't dark outside when Zhang Tie arrived at Baohu Mountain, but as soon as the family's elders' meeting was over and he went outside, it was already dark outside.

The green fluorite lamps illuminated the stone steps on the mountain. There was no snow on the stone steps, but there was still some water vapor. From the back of the ancestral hall, Zhang Tie and Zhang Taixuan arrived at the top of the mountain in a short time. In a pavilion with the best location nearby.

From this position in the pavilion, you can just see the brilliant and warm lights in Baohu City, and the vast sea outside Baohu Harbor in the distance.

"I don't know if Baohu City will still look like it is today after this Holy Chalk War!" Looking at Baohu City at the foot of the mountain, Zhang Taixuan suddenly said something with emotion.

Just as Zhang Tie was guessing what Zhang Taixuan was going to say to him, Zhang Taixuan turned his head and looked at Zhang Tie and asked a question, "Does Elder Mu Shen know about the relationship between Huaiyuantang and Taiyi Xuanmen? "...
