Chapter 465 This windfall, let's make a deal

Rumors spread everywhere, and they had already reached the ears of Gu Zheng and Yue Lingzhi.

Yue Lingzhi went to Gu Zheng: "No wind, no waves, how true are these rumors?"

Gu Zheng looked calm: "[-]% of it is true, and the other [-]% is deliberately exaggerated."

In his previous life, he knew that the Fengjiang Ferry was blocked by the court for a period of time. It was indeed because of some hidden dangers at the ferry, but the more important reason was that the court wanted to suppress Yuecheng and support Meicheng.

Yuecheng is the world of the Chu family, and the Chu family in Yuecheng is as rich as an enemy country, and the imperial court has long wanted to deal with them.

I don't know who came up with the bad idea to block the Fengjiang Ferry.

At that time, the merchants in Yuecheng were also panic-stricken. Some merchants with poor vision sold the shops in Yuecheng at a low price, then went to Meicheng to buy shops, and moved their business to Meicheng.

However, the court soon discovered that this road was blocked, mainly because Meicheng was not big enough to completely replace Yuecheng.

Forced by the opposition of all the merchants, as well as the performance of civil and military officials, the Fengjiang Ferry was reopened in less than half a year.

So Gu Zheng wasn't panicking at all, he was even waiting for those merchants to sell the shops in Yuecheng at a low price.

Yue Lingzhi was puzzled: "Why are you so sure?"

Gu Zheng said: "It's just a guess."

He still didn't want to tell her that he was born again.

In the previous life, the court wanted to sanction the Yuecheng Chu family, but in this life, the court wanted to weaken his source of income.

No matter who it tries to deal with, the court will end in failure.

"You also said that there is no wave without wind. If the court hadn't wanted to block the Fengjiang Ferry, these rumors would have been dispelled in a few days, and those people wouldn't need to deliberately spread them."

"So it must be true to say that the imperial court is going to block the Fengjiang Ferry, but it must be a lie to say that the imperial court will send a large army to encircle and suppress us."

"The dog emperor doesn't have that guts!"

He almost died last time, and he lost his life only after paying Yuecheng. Given his great courage, he would not dare to mess with them again, unless the queen mother deliberately wanted to do so.

Yue Lingzhi pondered: "The people who spread these rumors really want to bring down Yuecheng, who could it be?"

"The first is the Empress Dowager. She was unwilling to give us the rich Yuecheng just like this, so she tried to block the water transportation channels of Yuecheng."

"The second one is the Chu family in Yuecheng. They are worried that our wealth will surpass theirs soon, and they are upset."

"They think that the reason why Yuecheng is so prosperous is the credit of their Chu family. If their Chu family moves their business to Meicheng, Meicheng will be the second Yuecheng."

"There is another possibility. It is a partnership between the Chu family in Yuecheng and the Queen Mother! Are you right?"

Gu Zheng smiled slightly and said, "Three hypotheses are all possible, and the third hypothesis is the closest."

"They do this because their interests are paramount. Once they decide, they will go all out, but no matter who they are, they will fail miserably in this calculation."

Yue Lingzhi couldn't help asking him: "Did you predict the result again in a dream?"

She never asked him: Are you born again?
Gu Zheng didn't want Yue Lingzhi to be worried, so he nodded: "I dreamed that the imperial court blocked the Fengjiang Ferry, and Yuecheng was not as prosperous as before, but after half a year, the Fengjiang Ferry reopened, and Yuecheng quickly returned to its former prosperity."

"Those merchants who sold the shops in Yuecheng at a low price and moved to Meicheng are beating their chests and feet, regretting their mistakes!"

Yue Lingzhi was overjoyed: "Really? Then wouldn't we be able to make another windfall?"

Gu Zheng looked at her with a smile: "We are determined to make this windfall."
