Chapter 79 Wuyin Commercial War Fourteen
"There is going to be a war!"

"Have you heard that the bandits from Runan have gone south, and we in Wuyin County are the first to bear the brunt!"

"What should I do?"

"Quickly prepare food and soft food, and be ready to escape at any time!"

"Yes, we must prepare enough food to escape!"

"But isn't there thousands of county soldiers in our county?"

"I heard that there are hundreds of thousands of bandits in Runan, how can we stop them with our mere county soldiers!"

"It's better to get ready!"

"..."

There was a thunder on the ground, a news of the coming war broke out without warning, and it broke out in the county town. Everyone was discussing it in the streets and alleys, teahouses and restaurants, and there was an uproar all of a sudden.

"Zhengfang, what's going on?" Cai Tu's face was ashen in a study in the backyard of the county government office.

The Runan Yellow Turbans gathered in Gepo and rebelled. In just over a month, they had already occupied most of Runan. He knew the news, but he hadn't heard that the Runan Yellow Turbans had plans to go south to Nanyang. ah.

"Report to my lord, my subordinates have sent someone to investigate!" Li Yan's eyes flickered sharply: "It seems that someone can spread the news about this matter!"

"Why?"

"It's not clear yet!"

Li Yan said: "I just know that the people who spread the news are some local hooligans in this county!"

"Could it be that the Yellow Turban Thieves are really going south?"

"It shouldn't be!"

Li Yan shook his head: "As far as I know, although the Yellow Turban Bandits occupied most of Runan, the Runan prefect did not give up resistance, gathered tens of thousands of troops, and was ready to fight. Go south!"

"Runan?" Cai Tu squinted his eyes slightly after hearing that, "That is the territory of the Yuan family. When the Yellow Turban Army was at its strongest, they didn't dare to make a big show in Runan, but now they have risen. Some people are somewhat suspicious! "

"The county lord suspects that Yuan Shi and others are conniving at them?"

"Not impossible!"

Cai Tu said calmly: "The Yuan family is the fourth generation and three princes, the most powerful family in the world, not to mention that the two heroes of the Yuan family are now the pillars of the imperial court, even if the Yuan family has a deep foundation in Runan, controlling most of the population, food, cloth, Iron mines can draw hundreds of thousands of troops at any time, so if the Yellow Turban Bandits can gain a foothold in Runan, Yuan must be merciful!"

"Why?" After all, Li Yan came from a poor family, and he was not as sure as Cai Tu about the aristocratic family, so he was very puzzled.

"This is the way of the world!"

Cai Tu said calmly: "The imperial court is hopeless, the emperor is in a daze, he trusts eunuchs like Shi Changshi, and also entrusts the military power of the world to He Jin, the state affairs are difficult, the world is restless, everyone is just looking for a way out, just like us The Patriarch of the Cai family clearly knows that Mushan is a thief, but he has always condoned the rampage of thieves. It is nothing more than the idea of ​​military power. First of all, how can you return the sage's thoughts, it's sad!"

"The county's lord is highly righteous, and his subordinates admire him!"

Li Yan's eyes flashed, and his expression changed when he looked at Cai Tu. It seemed a little pedantic and the villain's county lord was not useless. He was definitely a good hand in governing the county, and he was quite effective after seizing power. He only knows about the current situation and the aristocratic family, and it is not something that a person from a poor family like himself can match now.

This is the innate gap between children from aristocratic families and those from poor families.

The children of the aristocratic family, there are many officials in the family, under the influence of their ears and eyes, their vision has already been enlarged, and they have a clear picture of the current situation in the world.

As for the poor children, struggling between food and clothing, reading is also difficult, they can only learn knowledge from books, but they have no experience.

Cai Tu sighed, waved his hands, and drove these distracting thoughts out of his mind. Now that he is a mere county magistrate, he is not able to handle these things. It is better for him to take care of the affairs of his Wuyin county government office. He asked: "The county still wants to know, why did the news come out?"

"This subordinate has a guess!" Li Yan said.

"Say it!" Cai Tu looked at Li Yan and shouted.

"This may be related to some price fluctuations in Wuyin City recently!"

"Is it the civil strife among merchants under the instigation of those gentry?" Cai Tu frowned.

"That's right!"

Li Yan looked at Cai Tu's disdainful look, and knew that he was inherently prejudiced against merchants, but he still said in detail: "My lord, don't underestimate these merchants, they may not be able to mess up the county, but the people behind them, may It will cause chaos in the county!"

"So the contest between Wuyin's gentry and Mushan has continued on the battlefield of merchants!" Li Yan had some understanding.

"indeed!"

Li Yandao: "The Wuyin gentry has a deep foundation, and Mushan holds the military power. They are incompatible with each other, but they dare not turn their faces, so they can only rely on this method to compete. However, some people are wrong. This is Wuyin gentry and Mulongtu. A contest between them!"

"It's this kid again, he's really capable!"

"Who says it's not!" Li Yan said with a smile: "He created a Jingping firm, and he deliberately agreed with the power of merchants. He didn't want the bloody battlefield, but wanted to scrape off the influence of the gentry with a feminine knife!"

"Just relying on these merchants?"

"My lord, don't underestimate them. Now that your lord is in the middle position, you don't dare to be biased. The gentry can't use the power of the government to suppress them. Even Meng Wu, the county seat, has to behave with his tail between his legs at this moment. How dare you offend the county lieutenant who holds a heavy soldier? Since then, the nobles have cut off their arms!"

Li Yan said calmly: "Besides, Mulongtu is involved in this, so things may not go as they wish!"

He paused, and said: "Actually, we don't need to care about this matter. There will be no chaos in the county after all. As long as the adults stand upright, no matter whether they are nobles or Mushan, I am afraid that they dare not be rude to the county!"

"that's right!"

Cai Tu thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "The more important thing now is to find out whether the Yellow Turban Bandit has any intention of going south, and also, Mu Shan has a decision on the matter of going out. If he insists on disobeying orders, I'm afraid Wuyin will fall into the sword Disaster struck!"

"Don't worry, my lord, I will convince Mushan!"

"Hope it!"

Cai Tu raised his head and looked at the sky. There was no cloud in the sky. A bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said firmly, "When I was studying, I made an ambition. This Wuyin city will live and die with me, I will never allow anyone to start a war in Wuyin!"

*********************
With the outbreak of rumors, the county was caught in a wave of panic buying, mainly food, and prices began to soar.

"Two stones of chestnut rice!"

"Seven hundred coins and one stone!"

"Why is it so expensive?"

"That's the price now, buy it or not!"

"purchase!"

"..."

a day later.

"Shopkeeper, five stones of chestnut rice, this is money!"

"not enough!"

"Why?"

"Look at the sign on it!"

"Eight hundred yuan and one stone? Wasn't it only seven hundred yesterday?"

"Sorry, you raised your price today!"

"purchase!"

"..."

Another day passed.

"Conscientious millet, nine hundred dollars and one stone, this is the only stock left, fast hands are fast, slow hands are not!"

"One stone!"

"Give me two stones!"

"Just give me a fight!"

"..."

However, in just three or four days, due to the atmosphere of war and chaos in the county, the prices of the two companies have risen steadily, almost doubling their usual prices, making the whole county's hearts bright.

……

Jingping Firm.

Mu Jing was dressed in white clothes like snow, holding a roll of bamboo slips in his hand, and the sound of Lang Lang reading echoed in the bamboo forest. No one would have imagined that such a scene would happen in this vulgar place where money is piled up.

"Great shopkeeper!" Zhang Heng walked into the bamboo forest and saluted slightly.

"Say!"

Mu Jing put down the books.

"They should be out of stock!" Zhang Heng said: "Continuously raising the price, one stone of rice earned the usual three stones of money. They couldn't help but want to make money, so they kept shipping, regardless of the lack of inventory in their hands!"

"What will happen to them after they are out of stock?"

"I won't just sit and wait, naturally I borrow!"

"Borrow from whom?"

"It can only be the gentry. Now in Wuyin, only the gentry have food!"

"Then let them borrow it!"

"Will the price go up?"

"Pull it up a little bit!" Mu Jing said calmly: "We have to let them see the benefits before we let them join the set. I just don't know how much power these gentry have to support. The more they come, the better. Eat them. Only then can these gentry be heartbroken!"

"understand!"

Zhang Heng nodded and left.
