Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 286

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, heavy snow fell on the sky of Luoyang. The snowflake danced in various postures in the air, or flew, or hovered, or fell straight and fast, and fell on the ground.

Sikong House.

Since the current Taifu Mushan took charge of the government, the power of the Sikong Mansion has been greatly reduced, and the front door is also a little cold, but as the head of the three princes of the current dynasty, the Sikong Mansion is still the Sikong Mansion, majestic and serious.

In the wing room, Yuan Feng was lying on the bed, his eyes seemed to be closed.

he is sick.

Several dynasties veteran, his age is coming, his body is still not as good as when he was in his prime, the weather suddenly turned cold, he didn't pay attention to cold protection and warmth, and he was still a little sick after freezing, but it was not a serious illness, just a small one. It's just the wind and cold.

"I'm old, my body is not as good as before, and I can't bear the cold anymore!"

In the evening, Yuan Feng woke up and said with a sigh after taking the medicine.

When people reach old age, they sigh at the end of the day. This is the mentality of the elderly.

"Brother, don't say these things. The imperial physician has already said that you are not in any serious health condition, but it's just a cold attack. As long as you recuperate well these days, you will be cured in three to five days. The affairs of the court will be left to you. Brother!"

Yuan Kui sat beside him and said softly.

Since that fire, he had been burned in many places all over his body. After recuperation, he recovered a lot physically, but in the end he was disfigured and lost the foundation of the court.

These days, scholars pay attention to appearance, so he has no chance of coming back.

These days, he has been hiding in the mansion, advising Yuan Feng. Although he was burnt, he is a veteran of the court after all, with a keen sense of politics and quick handling of affairs. He can handle the affairs of the Yuan mansion properly , and can also advise Yuan Feng after his death.

"Ciyang!"

Yuan Feng was lying on the sickbed, his face was very pale, maybe he had taken some medicine, he looked drowsy, but he was worried, his spirit was always tense, and he couldn't sleep, so he had to arrange some things: "These days There are some gossips, do you know?"

Although he was suffering from the wind and cold, his mind was still very clear. When he heard a conversation with some of Wang Yun and Lu Zhi's colleagues yesterday when he went to court, there was a gloomy look in his eyes.

"Gossip?"

Yuan Kui heard the words, and asked if he had something to say: "Is what the elder brother is referring to about the Empress Dowager and Mushan?"

These are rumors from the palace. Some people say that Mushan stayed overnight in the North Palace, and some people said that they saw Mushan entering and exiting the Queen Mother's palace in the early morning...

"Ok!"

Yuan Feng's eyes were gloomy, and he said: "The emptiness does not come, whether it is true or not, you can find out if you check it, my Han Dynasty pays attention to etiquette, justice, integrity and shame, and above the current dynasty, such a thing will never be allowed to happen!"

"Understood!"

Yuan Kai nodded solemnly.

"At this time, the road should return to Runan!" Yuan Feng said a few words, but his spirit improved a lot, and he thought of something in his heart, and asked suddenly.

"He returned to Runan last month and took away thousands of tigers under his command. In addition to the current Runan army, as long as he is given some time to rectify, with my Yuan family's financial resources, I should be able to recruit a strong soldier Come out!" Yuan Kui replied.

Ever since Mu Shan moved into Luoyang under the name of Grand Tutor and held the power of the imperial court, Yuan's power has not only plummeted, but it is not as good as it used to be. Based on Luoyang, he could only leave Luoyang with his tail between his legs.

Of course, with Yuan's ability, he was still able to obtain the position of a post-general for him. Although it was a vacant post, the post-general also had the power to open the house and think twice, and he could gain a foothold in the land of Runan.

The Yuan family is the name of the four generations and three princes. It is known as the number one family in the world. It has no shortage of fame, connections, wealth, power, etc., but what is lacking now is the support of the army.

In the prosperous age, even if there is no army, Yuan can kill a general with military power by virtue of his power.

But today's big man has faintly entered a chaotic world where the rules have collapsed.

Ever since the battle of Xiyangting, Yuan Feng, who is the current Sikong, has already felt urgently that his position needs the support of an army, otherwise even the Yuan family, who has four generations and three princes, will decline.

So he let Yuan Shu, who had no foothold in Luoyang, return to Runan, and with the help of Runan, trained a team of troops that could support his power in the capital.

"Ahem...you send a letter to let him keep an eye on Nanyang!" Yuan Feng coughed, and then said quietly: "Nanyang is Mushan's old nest, maybe we will turn against Mushan anytime soon!"

"it is good!"

Yuan Kui nodded, thought for a while, and said, "Brother, the price of salt in the Luoyang market has gone up and down recently, you know about this!"

"I've heard about it!" Yuan Feng said, "But I seldom pay attention to the affairs of merchants. Yan Yinzhang is under the government office of the Shaofu, and Liang and the others will not make any trouble!"

Knowledge determines vision.

Vision determines the pattern.

It's not that Yuan Feng is ignorant, nor is he without vision, it's just that the knowledge he has passed down and the experience he has seen, merchants will never be able to get on the table, so he never pays attention to it.

"But Mulongtu is involved here!"

Yuan Kui was in the mansion every day, and trivial matters were passed back to the mansion. He had a look at them at the first time, so he has been paying attention to this matter: "Mulongtu is instigating behind the Jingping firm in Nanyang, and they want to eat Luoyang's In Yanshi, some salt merchants are worried about Mushan's power, so they asked for it from many aristocratic families!"

"Mu Longtu survived by luck, but he still doesn't know how to restrain himself. Sooner or later he will stumble!"

Yuan Feng sneered, his resentment towards Mu Jing was deeper than that of his younger brother Yuan Kai sometimes.

"What should we do now?" Yuan Kai asked.

"If they use their relationships to suppress the local merchants, I can't let their atmosphere go, but if they use merchants' means to compete, we can't intervene!" Although Yuan Feng was a little dizzy, he was still very calm: "Mushan has Cai Bojie's support has become a general trend, and it is not suitable to be an enemy now, and I still don't want to collide with him when it is not necessary!"

"it is good!"

Yuan Kai nodded: "I'm going back to them now!"

……

……

December passed quickly, and there were still three days until the end of the year.

These days, Mujing has been watching the situation in Yanshi.

The shopping mall is like a battlefield, and the information on the battlefield is ever-changing. Now Jingping Trading Company has invested a lot of gold. Whether it can dominate the Luoyang Salt Market and completely stand firm in the Luoyang Market depends on this battle. .

"Boss shopkeeper, the salt shop under Liu's name will be sold out after five days of purchase restriction!" Zhang Heng reported, "As of this morning, all their salt shops have been closed. With the current situation, even if they want to It takes 20 days to a month to ship the goods!"

"So Mrs. Liu has been kicked out!"

Mu Jing sat cross-legged, flipping through the messages in his hand, taking a quick look at them, and then listening to Zhang Heng's personal report: "The Fang family, the Yan family, and the Yao family didn't make a move?"

"no!"

Zhang Heng shook his head and said, "I heard that Liu Geng, the head of the Liu family, went to the Fang family to borrow salt, but the Fang family refused!"

"At this time, fellow daoist who is dead and never dies!"

Mu Jing sneered: "That's great. If they are united, I really can't do anything. Since it's a mess, it's doomed that the business in this salt market belongs to our Jingping Trading Company!"

"Then next..."

"Next, take it easy!" Mu Jing said, "Shoot the snake and hit seven inches, catch the thief and the head of the thief, and then we will deal with the Fang family and the Yan family!"

"Together!"

"We can't give them time to react, let's kill them together!" Mu Jing's eyes sparkled with wisdom: "Fang Shao is not a simple merchant, he has a strong reaction ability, and this battle cannot be lost, so we can't give him time to react , if he fully reacts and joins Luoyang and the entire Yanshi City to fight against us, we will lose more than we gain!"

"I'm going to prepare here!"

Zhang Heng nodded and said.

"This year, it seems that Luoyang's business community is not going to live comfortably!"

The corner of Mujing's mouth raised a slight smile.

Jingping Trading Company is coming in menacingly. Although it entered from Yanshi, its momentum is so strong that it will inevitably make all parties fearful.

"Tan Zong pays homage to his son!"

At this time, Tan Zong of Jingwu Division, wearing a bamboo hat, hurried in from the outside facing the wind and snow, and after shaking off the snowflakes on his body at the door, he walked in front of Mu Jing and bowed his head in salute.

"How did you find this place?" Mu Jing has been in Jingping Commercial Firm for the past few days, and it is quite clean, but he did not expect Tan Zong to find this place.

"You are not in Taifu's mansion, so I have no choice but to come here to find you!" Tan Zong said truthfully.

"Is there something important?"

"Wang Yue's whereabouts have some clues!"

"Say!" Mu Jing's eyes glowed with a stern light like a blade.
