"Is it possible that our plan just failed?"
Xiang Yu refused to give up and stared at Fan Zeng expectantly.
"Whether this is true or not, let's go and take a look and find out!"
Anyway, all the other nobles from the five countries have fled. Instead of waiting here, it would be better to go outside and take a look.
"Yes, hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Let's go to the street and see for ourselves!"
Xiang Liang nodded repeatedly, picked up his weapon and strode out the door without even thinking about it.
As soon as they went out, everyone was stunned by the sight in front of them!
It's been snowing heavily these past few days, and everyone is huddled at home, no one goes out!
But today it's completely different. The streets are already crowded with people, shouting and shoving, and it's more lively than going to the market!
"Ouch! Don't push me. Even if you push me again, I won't be able to fly over. There are so many people queuing in front of me!"
"That's right! Why are you squeezing? Look up. You can't even see the people on the street. It's useless even if you squeeze!"
"Don't tell me, it's good to have more people here. Everyone is crowded together, but it's much warmer than at home!"
…
People crowded the whole street in a dark crowd, and complaints from the people could be heard from time to time.
Seeing Xiang Yu and others standing at the door with tall figures and weapons in hand, the people nearby glanced at them warily, but they had no intention of giving up their position!
Sweaters are not so easy to grab these days!
Whoever grabs it first will be able to keep warm first, and whoever can’t grab it will have to wait to be frozen!
Although the newspaper said that a steady stream of sweaters will be delivered in the next few days, who knows whether they will be delivered!
You have to stand and grab your spot!
"The young master is really amazing. He can actually make clothes out of wool!"
"Yes, this is the first time I've seen clothes made of wool!"
"I heard that the process of making clothes from wool is very cumbersome and requires a large number of workers to weave it. In the end, it was sold to us for only 200 coins. It is definitely benefiting our people!"
"Yes! It's not like some profiteers who actually took away all the furs before winter came. This caused the price of furs to skyrocket, making it impossible for ordinary people like us to buy furs...!"
The people talked a lot, and as they talked, they talked about the superficial things.
"What? Is everything you said true?"
A man in Tsing Yi revealed the news he had learned, which immediately shocked the people around him.
"Of course it's true. A distant relative of mine is in the fur business. Someone took away all the furs from him more than a month ago, no matter how bad it was...!"
The man in Tsing Yi nodded firmly, "With such a deal, of course my relatives were happy to take action and sold all the furs they had accumulated before. After that, these furs seemed to disappear and were no longer on the market. I showed up on the Internet, and then I inquired about many fur traders, and the situation was similar to him!"
"No...! My relative is right in front! Come and line up to buy a sweater too!"
At first, the Xiang family and the Cui family were bound to take all the furs from the fur traders, and the prices they offered were good. The fur traders didn't keep any of them and sold them all.
As a result, now they don't even have winter clothes, so they can only follow the common people to buy sweaters to keep out the cold!
"The people who buy furs must have bad intentions. They want to take advantage of this year's cold winter to make a fortune. It's really unconscionable!"
"No! That conscience will be eaten by dogs!"
"If you let them go out and break their teeth, things will never go smoothly!"
"Yes, those who harm ordinary people like us will definitely not end well!"
The people became angrier and angrier as they talked, and some women, who were usually aggressive, put their hands on their hips and cursed.
"You...what did you say?"
As soon as he heard the words "things are not going well", Xiang Yu became angry. He raised the steel gun in his hand and shouted sharply.
"I'm scolding those evil people who purchased furs in advance. What does it have to do with you...?"
Seeing the gleaming weapons, the woman was not afraid, and still shouted: "Is it possible that you are the one who bought furs and made us suffer from the cold?"
Before he finished speaking, all the dark heads came towards the direction of Xiang Yu and others.
Everyone hates the person who bought the furs. If they were right in front of them, they would definitely go up and kick him!
"No, no, no, everyone has misunderstood... everyone has misunderstood!"
Seeing that the situation was not good, Fan Zeng quickly stood in front of Xiang Yu, pulled down the gun that Xiang Yu held high, and made everyone smile.
These people all have evil looks in their eyes, as if they want to eat people!
He has no doubt that as long as they admit it, these people will pounce on them!
A good tiger is no match for a pack of wolves!
Even if the Xiang family is brave and good at fighting, in this dense darkness with endless crowds of people, even if one person steps on them, it will be enough for the Xiang family!
It’s better to endure it first!
"Yes, everyone has misunderstood, we are also going out to buy sweaters...!"
Xiang Liang also stepped forward to explain, "I'm really sorry, my nephew usually has a bad temper. He got angry after seeing so many people and I don't know when the queue will last!"
"Hmph! If you have a bad temper, just stay at home and teach him a lesson. Don't come out and bite people!"
The Xiang family denied it, and all the people stopped looking, moved forward little by little, and stopped paying attention to a few people.
…
Although I didn't squeeze in front of the people, I saw what the sweater looked like.
But depending on the situation, you will know that this matter cannot be taken off!
Several members of the Xiang family simply turned around and went back to the house, closed the door, and sent people to guard it!
"Father, you have seen the situation outside. Those women actually cursed us. Why didn't you let me kill them?"
Back at the house, Xiang Yu could no longer hold back his temper. He thrust the steel gun in his hand into the ground and said angrily.
"General Yu, it is precisely because of the special situation outside that I cannot let you take action...!"
The old man rubbed his hands on his back and said earnestly: "The situation has changed now. The attitude of the people has changed from complaining to being grateful. If we show our ambition for a while, the people will regard us as people who want to buy furs and treat us badly." But there’s no benefit at all!”
"That's right, Yu'er, you have to stay calm, our important matter cannot be exposed for the time being!"
Xiang Liang also nodded and agreed with Fan Zeng's opinion.
"Uncle, Yafu, those people outside were originally our Da Chu people. How long has it been now? Have they been bribed by Da Qin? They are just like grass on the wall! They have no spine!"
Xiang Yu punched the stone table angrily, causing a crack in the stone table.
Neither Xiang Liang nor Fan Zeng blamed him!
Xiang Yu is young and energetic, and wants to restore the country and avenge his grandfather!
But the current attitude of the people is like a basin of ice water in winter, pouring it from head to toe. No wonder it doesn't feel uncomfortable!
If the court is really like what the newspaper said, there will be a steady stream of sweaters delivered, then their plan will be complete!
Not to mention the young man Xiang Yu who felt aggrieved, even the calm old men like them felt like they were about to collapse!
