Chapter 444 Interrupting Magic
"Who are the people who are making trouble in the two places?" Lv Songli asked Ji Wuyin.
The people behind the scenes, it's fine if they don't show up during the previous layout period, but when it comes to the harvest period, both places need heavyweights to be in charge, and the harvest period is very short, it's impossible not to show up.
"Madam Qin Liu, guess."
Lv Desheng was thoughtful, and Xue Xu's eyes showed understanding.
"Xie Zhan." Lv Songli raised a hint of ambiguous smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Why do you guess it's him?" Ji Wuyin was quite curious.
Lv Songli said, "Apart from your obvious attitude. I guess so for the following reasons."
"First, from the perspective of the place chosen by the planner, Yizhou Shu County and Gusu seem to have deliberately avoided places with Liaodong Chamber of Commerce." Otherwise, she wouldn't have received the news so late.
"And if the four famous brocades must be selected as the target, the other three brocades, Zhuang brocade, are not mentioned." Compared with the other three brocades, Zhuang brocade is still a little bit worse, and the place of origin is not rich, so it was eliminated by Xie Zhan.
"Between Yunjin and Sujin, Yunjin is obviously more likely to become a tribute brocade than Sujin. But the game maker did not choose Yunjin, but Sujin. Obviously, choosing Sujin is in his favor. And Gusu is adjacent to the South, which makes it convenient for him to lay out without anyone noticing."
What Lu Songli did not say is that Xie Zhan is definitely not in the South at the moment. Even Chen Jinlong did not notice that Xie Zhan had left the South, so it seems that the confidentiality work was done very well.
Ji Wuyin quickly understood that indeed, if the other party chose Yunjin, Yunjin was produced in Jiankang, and it might be detected when eating in the early stage.
Xue Xu also said at this time, "The layout of this game is very familiar."
Ji Wuyin was one of the manipulators of the entire situation in Nanyang at that time, and he felt it more deeply.
Lu Songli did not speak. It can be seen from this game that some of the methods were derived from the methods she used in Nanyang.
"Finally, this game cannot be without official cooperation. The person who laid out the plan has a deep background." As she said just now, what if the rumors are not just rumors? The bureaucratic cooperation played an indispensable role in the quick completion of this scheme.
Considering the past, it is no wonder that Song Mo gave Xie Zhan the position of governor so readily. It is not difficult to guess that the two sides should have reached some kind of cooperation.
She used to think that Song Mo gave him the position of governor as compensation for Xie Zhan, and she also felt that Song Mo's behavior was a bit inconsistent, as if his conscience had returned. Now it seems that Xie Zhan should have promised that after getting the position of governor, he would harvest the rich through the scheme and share the wealth with Song Mo.
Lv Desheng listened all the way and understood that Xie Zhan, who was a shrewd student, was also learning from his daughter! In order to avoid being seen by his daughter, he deliberately avoided places where their Liaodong Chamber of Commerce was active.
"He is self-aware." Lv Desheng snorted.
"Xie Zhan should have joined forces with Bingzhou timber merchant Qiao Xitong, Xin'an porcelain merchant Hu Jiangyi, and raw silk merchant Liao Xuewang." Ji Wuyin revealed the mystery.
Lu Songli raised her eyebrows. She knew that Xie Zhan had been visiting celebrities and famous people last year. These people were the result of his efforts for two or three months at the end of last year?
"Xie Zhan is really well versed in the way of plunder." Xue Xu sighed.
Lu Songli said, "Xie Zhan knows very well that the fastest way to make money is not wealth creation, but wealth transfer."
Ji Wuyin agreed, "This method is a bit cruel." If the game is done, in just two or three months, all the wealth of the entire Shu County and Gusu will be harvested into his pocket.
At this time, Xue Xu and Xue Wuyin looked at each other. They really felt that the development direction of Pingzhou and Lingnan was very different.
"Then what should we do?" Ji Wuyin was a little worried. He had a bank in Shu County, but he had lent out a lot of money. If he couldn't get it back, the bank would be ruined. This is also the reason why he was anxious to come to the governor's mansion.
"The big cakes made by Xie Zhan and his friends are naturally for everyone to see and take a piece." Lu Songli smiled meaningfully.
Since the Shu brocade merchants are destined to be harvested, let them have a share.
"Uncle Ji, do you believe me? This year's tribute brocade must still be Shu brocade." If you set up a scheme, you have to eat two or three fish, suck the bones and knock the marrow, before you can stop.
Now the Shu merchants are only suffering losses, and most of the family property they have accumulated in the past is still there. How could Xie Zhan stop? Moreover, if the Shu brocade, cocoons, and raw silk purchased at a low price are transported to other places, the cost will increase. How can it be cheaper and more cost-effective to sell them directly back to local merchants in Shu County?
"How to do it?" Ji Wuyin asked.
"It's too late for Gusu. The other party has already started to close the net. Obviously, we can't share the big head. Now let's see if we can drink a mouthful of soup in Shu County."
"You..." Lu Songli told him directly.
Ji Wuyin nodded as he listened, and he finally said, "I understand."
"Then you should hurry up and make arrangements. Time is tight. How much profit you can grab depends on how fast you are."
Ji Wuyin stood up immediately, "Then I will make arrangements first."
"Go ahead."
After Ji Wuyin left, Lu Desheng wondered, "After Xie Zhan became the governor of Lingnan, why did he join hands with others to stir up trouble instead of managing the South?"
"He should be planning for the next action."
Xie Zhan became the governor of Lingnan and governed three counties. As an ambitious person, he would definitely think about expanding his territory, just like she often thought about their neighbor in Pingzhou, Youzhou.
Lu Songli speculated that Xie Zhan should have seen from the battle between the northern soldiers and Wuhuan that the Xianbei would definitely move southward. That's why he joined forces with others to continuously reap wealth from other places and gain profits, thereby strengthening the South.
In addition, she heard from Xiao Kun that recently someone has been spying on them at the Longcheng Pharmacy.
Lu Songli guessed that Xie Zhan must have realized the trick behind the one hundred hectares of land he had compensated them for.
"Xie Zhan and his group are so disgusting and despicable. Are we just going to let them bully people like this?" Lu Desheng couldn't stand Xie Zhan using the method his daughter had used to make money.
Lu Songli said, "Of course we can't let them do whatever they want."
She had said before that those who are like me will live, and those who are like me will die. She has her own way to deal with Xie Zhan's behavior. But it takes time to lay out something now. And during this period, it is unknown where Xie Zhan will lead people to cause trouble.
The only thing that can interrupt magic is magic. She might as well cut off the firewood from under the cauldron.
First, it interrupts the other party's rhythm; second, it is only about three months away from the autumn harvest, and she will find something for Xie Zhan to do so that he won't be too idle and cause trouble for her.
She had thought wrong before, always thinking about developing Pingzhou, and didn't want to distract herself to provoke Xie Zhan before she was fully prepared.
She now knew that there would never be a perfect preparation.
"Should we do something?" Lu Desheng was eager to try.
Xue Xu's eyes were also full of fighting spirit.
"Isn't Xie Zhan cooperating happily with the emperor? How about we try to alienate him from the emperor?"
Lu Desheng said quickly, "Okay, leave it to me, I'll do it!" He is good at framing people. He likes this job.
