"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the people of Zhou are deceitful!" A deacon in brown clothes rushed into E's Trading Company and shouted loudly.

"Speak quickly!" Kun, the Crown Prince of Hubei, who was lying limply on the ground, jumped up as if by divine help.

"The Zhou people bought goods in cash and transported them to the Western Market and into various warehouses!"

"I got it!" Prince Kun of Hubei let out a long breath and gritted his teeth: "It's not the Zhou people who are cheating, but the merchants in the West Market who are cheating! It's obvious that the small merchants joined forces and hired the Zhou people to pay me off with cash!

Tell me, everyone, right?"

"That makes sense! I think there are officials involved behind the scenes!"

"Bird! A group of ant traders dared to resist the market like me, but they failed!"

"Anyway, we've lost all our money. The prince only told us how to correct the situation. Let's just follow it!"

"Zhong! Let's come here and treat him in his own way, listen to the prince's orders, and plunder his empty market!"

"Yes! Listen to Prince E!" Everyone roared in unison.

"Okay! Since you all trust me, E, Kun has become a leading bird!" E Kun bowed his hands and bowed in a circle with great emotion: "My opinion: No matter whether the government or the market interferes, it will not come to the fore after all.

As long as the government is not crazy, the business war will still be a business war, and we will use the business war strategy to deal with it. At present, we have lost the first round. But there will be the second and third rounds, and we will definitely win! The method of the West Market

It is a "market battle". The basis of this method lies in whether we have strong financial resources. We are all big businessmen in the world, and we rely on our motherland. Even if our food and supplies are gone, our money is still like a mountain! Tell me, how to fight?"

"Short the West Market! Raise the price later! Kill them!"

"Wonderful——" There was a loud cheer, and Dongshi suddenly came to life.

Not to mention the busy night of the big merchants in the East Market, but in the early morning of the next day, a continuous procession of oxcarts, carts and horses poured into the West Market from the four gates of Luoyi. They were shocked to find that all the goods sheds in the West Market had hanging signs saying "High Quality Products at Higher Prices"

, a large cloth banner with "double the price". It suddenly jumped from 20% of the average price to 20% above the average price, a full 20% increase in price, which is also the highest market price allowed by "Zhou Li"

Already.

The ox-carts and horses outside the stone square could not help but be stunned, wandering and watching, and hesitated to move forward. Finally, a group of ox-carts started with a clang, and drove into the tall stone square without hesitation. The ox-carts and horses behind them hesitated for a while, and finally followed one after another.

, entered the West Market in an endless stream.

At a time when the autumn weather is high and crisp, under the warm and clear blue sky like spring, an unprecedented large-scale sale is going on in the Luoyi West Market. Buyers of all kinds come one after another, with money from all over the world, and they are all clear of money and goods, and the cars and horses are loaded with goods.

Because after all, the West Market is a disaster control market directly under the official market system of the Great Zhou Dynasty, since the opening of the market, there has been a law that restricts the amount of food that market participants can buy at a time. Although the official market has retreated in recent days, the West Market has become a nominal market.

The small country's traders have lost their warehouses, but its laws on market disaster relief have remained unchanged. Under this law, buyers cannot buy in large quantities at one time, but can only buy in small quantities, one and a half cars and a half.

Even so, the cargo sheds in the West Market could not hold up the endless flow of cattle, carts and horses buying and loading goods. They could barely hold up until the sunset. The large and small warehouses in the West Market and the Six Livestock Market were all empty except for the cabinets full of money.

Nothing.

The autumn moon is hazy, and the official market tent under the west city wall is brightly lit.

The official compiled the accounts, held the slips in his hands and reported with trembling: All the grain and goods were sold, and the gold received was 238,000 in one day, and the money of various countries was 2,365,321.

After deducting the principal of grain and goods, the profit was six times! The officials and city officials were about to cheer, but they saw Rong Yi's face was as gloomy as autumn frost, and he suddenly lost his voice.

"Tell me, how should Xishi respond?" Rong Yi asked in a deep voice.

"From what I see, you can make big profits by doing business, and it's easy to do business!" The lean, middle-aged official said loudly with his chest raised: "There are only two ways at the moment: One, don't get involved with the bird traders in the East Market, and use the harvest

Use the money to buy large amounts of grain elsewhere and make those thieves merchants angry to death; secondly, swallow him again and starve those thieves merchants to death. This is the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty! Does he dare to make the East Market soar?"

"One step is too short!" The newly appointed official Ling Yigong shook his head: "The merchants from all over the world are in the same spirit and have already formed an alliance. Even if they go elsewhere, it will be a price. The first strategy is not feasible. If you continue to annex it, you will not be able to do it.

.Who said that Dongshi dare not raise prices in Wangji? If you raise prices first and others raise prices later, can the government handle both issues? Financial resources are insufficient.

The second strategy is not feasible."

"Just ignore them." An old official stood up and said, "The two markets have been at war with each other over low prices for many days. People in the Zhou and Zhou Dynasties are almost done with their autumn sowing, and their rations and winter goods are not enough. The official market ignores him, and the East Market is going to open like crazy.

The price is so high that the old Zhou people will not buy their grains, so what can they do to me? Will the price of his old grains not drop until next May when they are ripe for summer?"

"It's impossible, it's impossible." A deacon in charge of grain affairs shook his head and said, "Since ancient times, grains have been afraid of monopoly. The goods in this commercial war are all the daily necessities of the people. Is there any day when there is no trade? Even if the farmer has seeds and one or two

How can the people of Luoyi survive with a monthly ration of food? If the official market runs out of grain, the people of the country will have no choice but to be slaughtered by the east market, and the situation will be in danger."

Rongyi turned around twice and waved his hand expressionlessly: "Everyone is dismissed, let me think about it."

Guan Shicheng and Yi Gong looked at each other, came over and whispered: "Sir, this can only be paid to the treasury."

"Just be patient and don't be impatient. We'll just enter the tent at five o'clock." Rong Yi said to Guan Shicheng, waved his hand and left, while Yi Gong followed behind silently.

After entering the back tent, Rongyi silently sipped tea and thought, and suddenly asked: "How much food and supplies are there in Dongshi now?"

Yi Gong held the counting pole and answered immediately after hearing the sound: "The total amount of circulation in the two cities, minus the total amount of purchases in the past few days, the grain flowing into the East Market is about 3 million dendrobium, and there are more than 600,000 pieces of various farm tools and livestock goods; if

Calculated by doubling the parity price, the pie would be roughly in the millions." The figures reported in one breath reached the final goal. This is Yi Gong, who has been in business for a long time.

"Including all the remaining capital of Nanlin Club, how much is the shortfall?"

"Shortage -------" Yi Gong pondered for a moment, and then said: "About half a million gold."

After a long moment of silence, Rong Yi hissed, punched the case, and the teacup clattered to the ground. Five hundred thousand gold, not to mention himself plus the Nanlin Society, was the treasury of any country. How could he raise it in a hurry?

Can you afford it? If only a few years ago, for a period of ten days, he was running between the Song Dynasty and the Wei Dynasty, he could barely manage it. However, now that his family's wealth has been wiped out, the remaining money was invested in the first big swallow yesterday, and then there is

Living money is the real money to buy rice, which is a drop in the bucket for such a huge transaction.

After much deliberation, the only way to make it happen is to use the treasury of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Is it God's will? Is Rongyi really going to lose in the business war? -------

"Sir, someone wants to see you!" The official on duty seemed a little panicked.

Rong Yi suddenly became impatient: "What do you mean someone wants to see you? Doesn't anyone have a name?"

"He, he covered his face, refused to speak, and refused to leave."

Rongyi's eyes flashed, and Yi Gong immediately said to go take a look first, and carried the counting pole to the tent. In a moment, a tall and thin man wearing a blue cloak, a blue felt hat, and a blue mask stood under the lamp.

"My lord, Rongyi, may I ask what's the matter with you?"

The man in the green cloak nodded without saying anything, and handed over a thin, bright copper tube sealed with clay with both hands. Rongyi took it with both hands, and Yi Gong immediately handed over the narrow Kaifeng knife. Rongyi cut open the clay seal, unscrewed the copper tube and took it out.

A roll of parchment was unfolded, and there were two lines of text in front of him: "If you have 600,000 gold in the Western Market, how much profit will it bring?"

Rongyi's eyes lit up, his heart suddenly trembled, and he cupped his hands and said, "Are you a believer or a messenger? Are you willing to speak here?"

The man in the green cloak remained motionless and only whispered two words: "It doesn't matter."

Rongyi nodded and said: "I need to listen to the Lord, why do I want to enter the dangerous city of Luoyi?"

The man in the green cloak said: "Business is the only way to make profits, so how can he do it?"

Rongyi said: "If you believe in the Lord and invest money in the official and market laws, you will have a good future."

The man in the green cloak said, "Nothing else but to repay Mr. Tonglu Shanxia for saving his life. Is that the way to go?"

Rong Yi suddenly hissed: "The King of Chu is so kind!"

The cyan cloak said calmly: "Now that I know the King of Chu, is it a deal?"

Rongyi nodded and said: "Profits and gold are subject to orders. I wonder if the King of Chu has any other requests?"

The man in the green cloak sneered softly: "You really know how to do business. However, my king has no other purpose. He only wants to help Mr. Xiangzhu to weaken the country of Hubei. Can you believe it?"

Rong Yi smiled faintly: "When two tigers fight, those who watch will benefit, believe it!"

The man in green cloak nodded and said: "

The profit is 10%. At the third watch, we are waiting for delivery at the mouth of Luochuan Valley. Say goodbye." After saying that, he turned around and went out of the tent, got into a green carriage pulled by two big green horses, and drove away like the wind.

"This is ------" Yi Gong was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

"We'll talk about it later." Rongyi lowered his voice and warned, "Immediately prepare a boat and go to the mouth of Luochuan Valley to wait. I will come from the foothills with an ox convoy."

Yi Gong said quickly: "In my opinion, we should bring the official city horse team there, just in case!"

Rongyi waved his hand and said, "It's impossible to prevent unexpected things, but it depends on God's will."

Yi Gong promised and hurried away.

The bright moon hangs in the sky, and the vast blue water at the mouth of Luoshui Valley cuts out a dark and winding silhouette of the mountains and forests. A light boat rows by, and the sound of the oar makes the heaven and earth even more secluded.

When there was a faint sound of fighting in the middle of the night from the Luoyi city tower, an ox caravan with almost no sound drove along the foothills and into the valley mouth. A wind lantern floated leisurely from the mountain road on the opposite side. The wind lantern floated close to the ox cart, and a team of men in black led another group of men.

Floated into the valley.

The crowd in black was busily going back and forth under the moonlight for about a meal, the oxcart team rumbled eastward, and the white-sailed canoe moored at the pier at the mouth of the valley also floated out of the quiet valley mouth and into the roaring Luoshui River.

After swallowing up the West Market, people in the East Market were very happy at this time. According to the business tradition, they came to drink at night until the fourth watch. The big merchants unanimously believed that after this big swallow, although they filled most of their money, they would still be in the West Market.
