Dragon map of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 73

Jingping Firm.

"The last shop was forced to close!"

"I heard that some shopkeepers in your family have betrayed the water!"

"Well, the current situation is precarious. People outside look down on me, and people in my own family start to distrust it. It's a hard life!"

"Internal troubles and external troubles, but this is something that can't be helped!"

"Your Xu family may be better off. You are more or less based on martial arts. You have the highest martial arts. You have washed a lot of people in your family. I am different. After all, our Zhang family respects money. Now we are losing money." If this is the case, the elders of the family are going to dismiss me!"

"Hey, old guy, we have known each other for more than ten years. I don't know you yet, so don't complain. I don't know your methods. If the old guys in your family want to turn against you, they will probably be killed by you a long time ago." Killed!"

"I have this idea, but after all, the elders of the family can't be too harsh. I put a group of people under house arrest, but it's quieter, but if this goes on, the cohesion of the family will be broken!"

"That's right, it's really not going to work like this, shouldn't we fight back!"

"Let's just wait!"

In the courtyard, in an elegant stone pavilion, Zhang Heng and Xu Lin were sitting on the ground, talking about the recent situation, their faces were gloomy and helpless.

"Don't wait!"

A cold voice sounded faintly.

"Big treasurer!"

Hearing the words, the two turned their heads to look, stood up quickly, and saluted Mu Jing who walked in.

"No need to be polite!"

Mujing waved his hands, then knelt down, and the little Jiang Wan beside him also knelt down meekly. This kid seemed a bit rebellious, but under the old-fashioned Jiang Lu's training, he did a good job of manners.

Mu Jing said to the two of them, "It's been hard these days!"

"Ok!"

The two smiled wryly and nodded.

"What about Sun Hao and the others?"

"Internal and external troubles, Sun Hao has just inherited the Sun family, and he has to go back to suppress his own people. The other merchants are similar. After all, their families are dragging their families. Squeezing out such funds is a heavy burden for them. Question their authority!"

"How much money have you collected so far?" Mu Jing Xunsheng asked.

"About fifteen thousand gold!"

Zhang Heng said: "The fact is that it is more difficult than we imagined. The outside is encircling and suppressing us, and there are too many goods under pressure, so we can't get rid of it!"

"Fifteen thousand is almost the same!"

Mu Jing thought for a while, the funds for the war preparations are almost the same, and the rest can only be seen in the operation. Although the merchants are merchants, they have been peeled off one layer after another. Most of the profits are in the hands of the gentry. In fact, their background is not Shen Shen: "I understand everything. I went to the market just now and walked around. The heat is almost ready. Now it's time for us to fight back!"

"How to fight back?"

Zhang Heng and Xu Lin asked in unison.

"shopping!"

Mu Jing said: "I have ordered 100 people to be transferred from my father's army. They are all unfamiliar faces and divided into ten caravans. You are in charge of the funds. They will disguise themselves as caravans from other places, and then Start to scan the goods on the market vigorously, starting from the cloth!"

"Zhang didn't sell much before, so he hoarded more than 1000 pieces of cloth!" Zhang Heng said.

"not enough!"

Mujing's eyes burst out with a stern light like ice, and he said faintly: "I want the entire Wuyin market. There is not a single piece of cloth. Only by holding all the sources of goods can we manipulate the market price. This time, I want Wuyin The shade cloth merchant is the only one left!"

Where is the source of goods?

This is where the supply comes from.

"Is there not a single piece of cloth in the market?" Zhang Heng and Xu Lin looked at each other with a look of horror in their eyes. This is too much to play.

**********
In the east of the city, the Lin Family Silk and Satin Village.

With the closure of the Zhang's silk and satin shop, the business of the Lin family's silk and satin shop began to flourish. People came and went, and several servants were busy greeting the guests.

"Shopkeeper, a caravan is coming outside!"

"Caravan?"

As the confidant and cousin of the head of the Lin family, Lin Sheng is in his early thirties, tall and tall, and looks a bit sinister: "Where did the caravan come from?"

"I heard it's coming from Xinye!"

The boy said: "They originally wanted to discuss business with the Zhang family, but the Zhang family's silk and satin shop was not open, so they had to buy from us, wanting to buy a lot of cloth!"

"That's a good thing!"

Lin Sheng brightened his eyes and said: "I heard that Xinye has been in chaos recently. A group of bandits sneaked in from the west of Nanyang, so there is a shortage of goods in the market. It is only natural for them to come to Wuyin to buy cloth."

With that said, he straightened his robes and walked out.

"Are you the shopkeeper?" Zhou Nan is a young man in his 20s, but he has been marching all year round, and he has an evil spirit about him.

"I don't know who you are?"

"The head of Xinye Zhouzhuang, I want to buy some linen at your store!"

"linen?"

Lin Sheng was a little disappointed, this is the lowest grade of cloth: "I don't know how much you want?"

"A thousand horses!"

"What?" Lin Sheng's pupils shrank slightly.

"In addition, there are silk, silk, and plain, one hundred each!" Zhou Nan said.

"Xinye's surname is Zhou. There doesn't seem to be such a cloth merchant!" Lin Sheng was stunned for a moment, silent, but his eyes were looking at Zhou Nan, but he said secretly in his heart.

"Can't the Lin family take it out?"

Zhou Nan sighed, and said deliberately: "It seems that the Lin family is still unreliable, and Zhang's silk and satin factory is bigger. I used to do business with them. If the Lin family can't get it, then I can only go to Ru Take a look at Nan!"

"do not!"

Lin Sheng quickly said: "Yes, we have!"

"Shopkeeper, didn't the manager say that it's best not to move the cloth in stock, just in case it's needed!" A young boy said.

"Humph!"

Lin Sheng snorted coldly: "What do you know, brother is cautious, but now the Zhang family is not disabled, we have taken over the Zhang family's silk and satin shop, how much cloth do we need, how can we not eat up the door-to-door business? !"

……

In the next few days, such things continued to happen in Wuyin's East and West Markets, and each satin shop was patronized by caravans from outside, and their stocks began to be cleaned up.

It didn't take long for someone to notice something was wrong.

After all, there are no impenetrable walls in the world.

As the number one merchant in Wuyin, although he borrowed the power of the gentry, it is undeniable that his attainments in this area are extraordinary. To become the number one merchant, he is very keen in shopping malls.

He was the first to notice this problem, and immediately summoned the Lin family and a dozen small silk merchants.

"Bo Gong, have you sold a lot of cloth recently?" Gong Chang asked.

"This one……"

"Tell the truth!"

"Eighty percent of the cloth in our family's inventory has been sold, but brother Gong, don't worry, give us a month, and the supply will be sufficient!" Lin Mu said in a deep voice: "It should be that Zhang's shop is closed, so the foreign cloth merchants I can't find a channel, so we all make us!"

"What about you?" Gong Chang frowned.

"Our cloth is also sold out!"

A group of silk and satin businesses.

"Something's wrong!" Gong Chang frowned, and said, "Replenish the supply from the outside as soon as possible. If there is no cloth in the market, we will disrupt the Wuyin market!"

"Brother Gong, rare things are more valuable, isn't it better to have them all!" Lin Mu said in a dark voice.

"But what if Zhang's silk and satin village reopens?" Gong Chang said.

"how come?"

"Do they still dare?"

When everyone heard this, their pupils changed color slightly.

At this moment, a young man from the outside hurried in, cupped his hands and reported, "Report to the owner, Zhang's silk and satin shop has reopened, and announced that all cloth will be sold at a price increase of [-] renminbi!"

"Bastard!"

Gong Chang's face was as gloomy as water, he was not stupid, he felt as if he had been fooled.

"How dare they raise the price by [-] yuan?" One person said, "Let's join hands and lower the price!"

Although the price of cloth fluctuates somewhat, it has fluctuated between ten and fifty renminbi over the years, and it is rare to increase the price by one hundred renminbi in one go.

"But we don't have much cloth in our hands!"

Someone said bitterly.

"Zhang Heng!" Lin Mu also had a cold face, with a venomous light in his eyes: "I don't believe how much cloth they have in their hands!"

"Although we don't have any cloth, they are all purchased by foreign businessmen, so Mrs. Zhang and the others must not have much cloth!"

The crowd nodded.

Lin Mu stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Gong, don't worry. I'll contact Wancheng immediately. Wancheng is a county town. If you want to supply goods, there are plenty of them!"

"Go as soon as possible!"

Gritting his teeth, Gong Zhang said, "This matter is not simple, I feel something is wrong!"

Although he is arrogant, he does not lack his own prudence in his arrogance. To get to this point, he relies on the support of the gentry, so he respects the gentry, but he also has his own ability.
