Chengnan Restaurant.

"Public opinion is raging, is it time?"

"hold on!"

"Wait for what?"

"When someone comes out to refute the rumors, you have to do it at the best time. Either you don't suppress it, or if you want to suppress it, you crush it to death. I will make Gong Zhang lose everything!"

"it is good!"

The two executive shopkeepers directly made plans and began to plan for the final battle.

……

Chengdong market, this is the largest and most prosperous market in Wuyin, with countless shops, formed by a street with rice characters interlaced in the middle.

On the east side of the street, in an ordinary house.

Although this is an ordinary house with a small area and the courtyard is only an ordinary two-entry house, there are dozens of men in this house, the oldest is in his early twenties, and the youngest is only fifteen or sixteen years old, all of them are elite players.

The leader is Tan Zong, who is the youngest and most dignified.

Tan Zong sat cross-legged in the middle hall with a not-so-tall body, holding a book in his hand and read it with relish. He was very interested in all the information on it. He had a good comprehension ability since he had read books in his childhood. It's all in vernacular, which is very easy to understand.

"In the confrontation between the three armies, news comes first, and careful work is as important as Mount Tai!"

"The man in brocade clothes is dazzlingly dazzling, but he walks the world at night, silent and silent!"

"Only the invisible enemy is the most terrifying, and only the enemy around you is the most terrifying..."

"A good work, learn to be alone, learn to grope in the dark, learn to move forward amidst trust and betrayal, learn to pretend in front of others, learn to be honest in heart..."

"..."

Tan Zong is only fourteen or fifteen years old. The hardships of life made him mature early, and the wandering of the Yellow Turban Army allowed him to learn to be independent early on. However, he is very weak in knowledge. Now he is like a sponge, absorbing knowledge crazily.

His future seems to be shaped by this little book...

"My lord, the situation outside has changed!" A young man in Tsing Yi walked in and saluted respectfully.

"Say!"

Tan Zong is now under Mu Jing, second only to Lei Hu, Lei Hu Chongwu, known as Mu Jing's number one confidant, but he doesn't think so, if Lei Hu is a deterrent in Mu Jing's hands Wan Jun's giant sword, then he is the invisible dark blade in Mu Jing's hands. Mu Jing will not shy away from him in matters big or small, and trusts him a lot. Externally, he is also quite a prince.

"Report, my lord, the rising food prices in Wuyin County have caused chaos among the people, and chaos in the market. There are also many unruly people who have organized the people to run into some grain stores!"

The young man in Tsing Yi reported the situation carefully: "The bloodshed has already been caused, if this continues, it will cause casualties!"

"Now you do two things!"

"Please order!"

"Be the first to pass on the whole story to the young master!"

"Yes!"

"Second, immediately send an order that everyone under my command, including the recruited humble scholars, ordinary local hooligans, and storytellers in wine shops, should fully refute the rumors!"

"Refuting the rumors?" The young man in Tsing Yi was stunned. The rumors were released by themselves, and now they have to come out to refute the rumors by themselves.

"Correct!"

Tan Zong's eyes sparkled like lightning, and he said: "The theme this time is that the Wuyin army marched out to the northern suburbs and stationed troops on the border of Runan, the county captain Zhang Chuan issued an angry military order, there is still a breath left, and no thief will go south!"

"promise!"

The young man in Tsing Yi looked solemn, and took his orders and left.

********************
The Gong family.

Listening to the news coming back from outside, Gong Zhang's expression became more and more gloomy: "Send me an order, lower the price!"

The danger he sensed.

There is a strong sense of danger, as if the sky is about to fall, and the only way out is to take the initiative to lower the price and stabilize the market price. Even if it loses a little, the grain of [-] shi cannot be thrown into its own hands.

Otherwise...the Gong family is over.

"No!"

"Reducing the price means that we have done nothing!"

"Patriarch, reducing the price now, wouldn't it be... all previous efforts for nothing!"

Some shopkeepers don't understand the reason, and they are blinded by the raised prices, and they are somewhat unwilling.

"I said drop the price immediately!"

Gong Zhang said coldly.

"Patriarch Gong, absolutely not!"

"Patriarch Gong, everyone has borrowed food now, if the price is lowered, wouldn't it be a big loss for us!"

"Patriarch Gong, maybe this is just a small setback. Some people who are dissatisfied in the area, why should they be afraid? When they have no rice to cook, they will naturally go back and buy it. We must not mess up!"

A group of merchants and family owners also persuaded.

After all, this time not only did Gong Chang borrow food from the gentry for emergency, but also many families who opened food stores. Now is a great time, and the highest food price in Wuyin's history has been raised. How can they let go of making money? Chance.

There is a very true sentence in Das Kapital. Marx said: If capital has 50.00% profit, it will take risks; if it has [-]% profit, it will dare to trample on all laws in the world; if it has [-]% profit , it dares to commit any crime, even at the risk of being hanged!

This is where the business is.

"Confused!"

Looking at the merchants with scarlet eyes in front of him, Gong Chang was very tired.

Not afraid of god-like opponents, but afraid of pig-like teammates.

"Oh no!"

"Patriarch, something is wrong!"

A servant in blue came running in stumbling.

"What happened?" Gong Zhang's pupils changed color and his face was gloomy.

"Report to Patriarch, it is widely rumored that Lieutenant Zhang Chuan has led his troops north to you, stationed at the border of Wuyin and Runan, and issued a military order, there is still a breath left, and no one will be let go south!" The blue-clothed servant gasped and said .

"how is this possible?"

"How dare the county soldiers go north?"

A group of merchants peeked at each other.

"It's true, someone swears that the big camp in the northwest outskirts has started to pack up, and is about to leave the camp and go north!" said the blue-clothed servant.

"It's over!"

Gong Zhang was cold all over.

A rumor lives and a rumor dies.

Lose the atmosphere of war, then food prices...

"Give me an order, all shops will immediately reduce the price by two hundred yuan, and sell it at one thousand yuan per stone of millet!" Gong Zhang shouted with all his strength, he must take the initiative to keep the price of food, but It is too late.

……

In the county town, Jingping Trading Company mainly established 37 new grain stores, mainly the Sun family, Liu family, and Kun family's original shops, and arranged them all over the city. These grain shops began to cut prices .

"From now on, all grain stores in Jingping Store will sell rice at a reduced price!"

"Nine hundred coins and one stone!"

"It's so cheap, I'll buy it!"

"Give me three stones!"

"Give me two stones!"

"..."

"Gong's grain shop has also started to cut prices, 880 yuan for a stone of millet!"

"Go!"

"The Bai family's grain store is also reducing the price, only 870 yuan a stone!"

"I'm going to buy a few stones too!"

"Although the county lieutenant has led the troops to the north, the war will come at an unknown time. While there is still some money in the family, hurry up and exchange it for food!"

"..."

As the price of high-temperature food dropped, waves of buying began to ignite in the city.

……

……

Chengnan Restaurant.

"Gong Zhang reacted too quickly!" Sun Hao was a little surprised.

"Don't underestimate this man. He has grown from an idle vagrant to the number one merchant in Wuyin. It is one thing to have the support of the gentry, and it cannot cover up his ability to do business. In the past, I, Mrs. Zhang, avoided three points of taboo against him, but not only Because he has his back on the gentry!"

Zhang Heng played with the wine cup in his hand, and said coldly: "This person acts decisively and has a ruthless heart. If we push him, it is not impossible to drag us to die together!"

"Don't you just want him to do that?"

Sun Hao cast a sidelong glance at Zhang Heng, and said, "The net is broken, but he doesn't know that the alliance of Jingping Trading Company is not his scattered alliance. Our funds are shared, so we can afford to lose. Once they lose money, they will immediately lose money." The Gong family is doomed to fall!"

"The Gong family is undefeated, it depends on whether the gentry are ruthless. If the gentry will help, we can only maim them. If we can't kill the Gong family, the plan to unify the merchants will also be frustrated!"

"Whether the gentry are ruthless or not, doesn't your Zhang family know the best?" Sun Hao said calmly: "What they are best at is not giving charcoal in the middle of the snow, but adding trouble to others when they are in trouble!"

Zhang Heng's resentment towards the gentry was not created overnight. Back then, the Zhang family was also supported by the gentry. However, a business crisis put the Zhang family in danger. If the seller hadn't produced such a genius as Zhang Heng, Zhang's silk and satin would have already become history.

"Continue to lower the price!" Zhang Heng was expressionless, but there was a crazy light in the depths of his eyes.

"En!" Sun Hao nodded.

……

Three days, just three days, the price of grain in Wuyin County fell like a roller coaster.

"Our Gong family pays customers a lot, and now it costs [-] yuan a stone of grain, come and buy it!"

"Our Jingping store will drop another 550 yuan, [-] yuan a stone!"

"..."

"Gong's family paid five hundred yuan for a stone of millet, so hurry up and buy it. There won't be such a shop in this village!"

"Jingping store sells millet for 450 yuan per stone!"

"..."

"Four hundred dollars a stone!"

In the end, the food price was fixed at around [-] yuan, which should be the lowest price in Wuyin's history.
