"Everyone says that Jingzhou is prosperous. This is true, but Nanyang County must be regarded as under the rule of Jingzhou..." A twelve-year-old child, walking on the streets of Wancheng with several of his friends from the clan, couldn't help but sigh.
.
"Youchang, why do you think our Ma family moved to Zunyi County?" Ma Yin, the younger brother of the clan, asked in confusion.
"Jingzhou is going to be in chaos, and the aristocratic family is going to be in trouble. Now in Jingzhou, anyone who understands economics knows that Jingzhou is sitting on a huge powder keg. If we don't leave, are we still waiting to be killed?"
Ma Su looked at this clan brother with disdain.
"Tch, wasn't it just Ji Chang who talked to you about the concepts of economics for a few days when he came home? I'll see how bad you are!" Ma Yin said disdainfully.
"Thanks to my brother for telling me, otherwise our Ma family wouldn't even know how they died." Ma Su couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.
"Since you are so powerful, why don't you tell me why there is a problem in Jingzhou!" Ma Yin asked curiously.
"It's actually very simple. Let's not talk about anything else. Are the shops and workshops in Jingzhou today jointly built by local aristocratic families in Jingzhou and foreign businessmen? And are the shops sold by them all shipped from other places?
Now, due to the issue of heir creation, these goods have been suspended for more than a month. In just over a month, prices in various places in Jingzhou have increased fivefold, and about 30 to 40% of the residents can't buy rice even if they have money.
If this situation continues for another three or four months, what do you think will happen to Jingzhou? If nothing else, at least the people of Jingzhou will not starve to death, or will they have to emigrate like us?" Ma Di was still young after all, and was
I just made a casual compliment and started explaining directly.
"If you don't tell me, I haven't noticed that most of the shops in Jingzhou now are imported from other places. Especially those daily necessities. If one day they stop importing, the people will really not be able to survive." Ma Yin also said.
Feeling emotional.
"Then there is the issue of social morality. When the concept of profit first was introduced to Jingzhou, have you felt that the world has declined and morality has declined in recent years?" Ma Di asked.
“It’s true that there have been a lot more crimes of all kinds… But speaking of people’s hearts failing, the tofu seller Zhang San seemed to have helped an old man some time ago, but the old man actually said that he hit him and asked him to pay compensation.
! What’s ridiculous is that everyone around him actually came forward to testify for Zhang San..." Ma Yin also immediately thought of the new things that happened not long ago.
"People are interested in profit, and as long as they can make money, they have begun to do whatever they can. The goods imported from Nanjun are fine, but the local goods in Jingzhou are adulterated in order to reduce costs and increase profits.
You can do it. The price is cheap, but are those things edible and usable?!" Ma Yin's younger brother Ma Yin complained.
"That means you are stupid. You dare to eat a sesame pancake for a penny. The flour used to make the pancakes is made from stale noodles that have been stale for many years. I heard that the oil for the pancakes is extracted in Shaoshui.
!" Ma Yin immediately laughed.
"Stop talking, I really started to feel nauseous again..." Ma Yin said painfully.
"Okay, the place is here..." Ma Su suddenly called out.
At this moment, the three of them have arrived in front of the governor's mansion. The reason why they came here is because they learned from the adults that Ma Liang was working there.
"Ma Liang, a disciple of Huaxia Academy? I'll go check it out!" After receiving a tip of 500 yuan, the concierge also ran around a little.
Not long after, Ma Liang came out.
"Hey, why are you all here?" Ma Liang looked at the brothers and sisters in front of him, feeling confused.
"What else can we do? Our family has moved to Zunyi. From now on, brother, it will be much more convenient for you to go to school." Ma Di stepped forward and said with a smile.
"Have they all moved here?" Ma Liang was stunned for a moment.
"No, a few of us know you are here, and we came here to ask you to act as a guide and take us to have a good night in Nanyang County for a few days!" Ma Su said with a smile.
"It's an unlucky time for you to come here. I'm watching the evolution of a grand event with Master and my classmates. Until this matter is settled, I'm afraid we really can't live without it!" Ma Liang smiled bitterly.
Speaking of.
"Well, if you are free now, it's rare that we are all here, why don't you find a place to treat us to a casual meal?" Ma Su didn't force it, he just said casually.
"That's no problem. It's lunch break now. Let's go and take you to the Huaxia Building for a meal!" Ma Liang breathed a sigh of relief and said to everyone with a smile.
"Huaxia Building? How does the name match Huaxia Academy..." Ma Di asked with great interest.
"Of course this is the business of the Xie family. You must know that in this land of China, the word 'Huaxia' has become the brand of Huaxia Academy. Except for the Xie family, no one is qualified to use these two words to name the store.
Already.
You don’t know that the chefs in Huaxia House have been specially trained, and they still play the same style as the institute, and the environment is also very good. In several branches in Nanyang County, business is very good." Ma Liang said.
Said without hesitation.
"Then we really have to go and experience it!" Ma Di immediately smiled.
Not long after, a group of people entered the second floor of Ruyi Building and opened a box reserved by the boss. Such boxes usually only receive important guests. Because Ma Liang had the certificate of being a disciple, he was qualified to come in and dine.
Enjoy 20% off.
The food here is indeed very good. Many spices that are still used as medicinal materials have been developed and the seasoning is much better than that of other hotels. Therefore, Ma Su and others who came here to eat for the first time felt as if they had been hungry for more than ten days.
, my mouth is full of oil.
"It tastes good, no wonder the business is so good." Ma Yin happily touched her belly.
"Speaking of which, something big has happened in Jingzhou recently. Brother, do you know?" Ma Di suddenly asked.
"Oh, what's the big deal? It's actually happening that our Ma family has to move!" Ma Liang pretended not to know and asked a little surprised.
Ma Di told what happened, and then asked: "Brother, what do you think?"
"There is chaos in Jingzhou!" Ma Liang only answered with four words.
Seeing the expressions of his brothers change, he immediately said with a smile: "First chaos, then cure! First chaos, then cure!"
"As expected of you, brother, you think the same as me. If what I think is right, the power to govern this great government is no longer in Liu Jingzhou's hands?" Ma Di said confidently.
"You are so easy to be proud. It's okay that you are young now. When you grow up, you are still so self-righteous. Be careful of problems!" Ma Liang shook his head and said.
"Brother Ji Chang, can you tell us?" Ma Yin asked anxiously about the chaos in Jingzhou.
"There's nothing surprising, because behind the scenes of the whole thing, people are manipulating it. These people have been planning it for seven years. It would be strange if they still can't promote the change of power in Jingzhou!" Ma Liang knew that the sound insulation effect here is good.
Moreover, the character of my brothers can be trusted, so I spoke out.
"Ah!" Hearing that the whole thing was considered manipulation, even Ma Su obviously didn't expect it.
With his intelligence, he could at most guess that someone was behind it, but he could never imagine that today's chaos was actually an overall plan that had been laid out for seven years.
Suddenly, he thought of a possibility.
"Brother, it seemed like you were participating in a grand event..." Ma Di looked at Ma Liang nervously.
"Before the matter is settled, please sew my mouth shut, and so do you, do you understand? Don't directly harm our Ma family just because of your quick words!" Ma Liang was speechless, as the brother's head in front of him turned too fast.
"Then what will happen next?" Ma Di asked seriously.
"The next step...the profit-seeking faction in Jingzhou now accounts for the majority, and the rest are conservatives and fence-sitters. However, there are still a few hawks such as Huo Jun and Wenpin.
Indeed, they can't influence anything, but once they actually take action, their suggestions may be adopted, and the possibility of executing the plan so perfectly will decrease. Therefore, their existence is too redundant!" Ma Liang picked up the tea leisurely.
Take a sip.
"To make Jingzhou completely unable to get hard?" Ma Su understood immediately.
"For us, a regime that pursues profit at all costs, a regime that can give up moral integrity for a little profit, is the cutest thing. The existence of those hawks is like the little thorn on the stem of a rose.
If we remove it, the roses will be easier for us to pick." Ma Liang looked at the tea stem in the tea cup, as if the tea stem was so interesting.
"If the hawks are removed, then it will be the day when Nanyang County raises troops?" Ma Di asked with a smile.
"Well, I can't say... but if it's just for a trivial matter, it would be too cheap to use knives and guns. However, many of Xie Bian's troops have not fought properly for a long time. In order to avoid forgetting in idleness,
In order to fight, it seems that we are planning to hold a joint military exercise..." Ma Liang was still looking at the tea, and every word seemed to be talking to himself.
"And he said it wasn't a war..." Ma Yin pouted.
"No, this is different! The drill is just a means of deterrence, not a real killer!" Ma Di reacted immediately.
Ma Liang, who was looking at the tea, raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
"Then how to take over Jingzhou? Is it possible to send someone over and shout twice, and Jingzhou will change its flag?" Ma Yin really couldn't figure it out.
"Yelling a few words seems to be good. Yelling a few words will help vent the dissatisfaction and resentment in your heart, right?" Ma Liang said with a smile.
"Who made this plan? Doesn't it harm Tianhe?" Ma Di said a little scared.
"Sorry, you and I were among the people who made this plan!" Ma Liang looked at Ma Su with a smile.
For a moment, Ma Su felt that the elder brother in front of him had become a little strange and a little scary.
