Qin Shi Mingyue's infinite punch card

Chapter 108 The Origin of the Jagged Alliance
Another few days passed, and the price of food in Xinzheng was still high. If it continued like this for less than half a month, the vast majority of people in the entire capital would face food shortages.

Black and White Xuanjian said, "Han Fei and Jade Tiger made a bet on the rise and fall of grain prices during this period.

Although Han Fei bought several batches of grain from Wei Guo at a high price and put them in the grain store, they were quickly bought by the Emerald Tiger at a high price. "

Ye Chen nodded, so that's the case, no wonder he came to me to borrow money before.

"Do you want me to kill that guy?"

Hei Hei Xuan Jian asked expressionlessly, he was talking about the Emerald Tiger, of course.

Ye Chen smiled: "Don't worry, there should be a result soon. Han Fei is not a reckless person. Since he dares to make a bet, he is quite sure."

The current situation is obvious. Han Fei is fighting a trade war with the Emerald Tiger. Compared with a war with real swords and guns, this kind of bloodless battle is actually more dangerous. If you are not careful, you will lose everything.

In economic warfare, financial resources and intelligence are very important, and in these two aspects, Nightfall has an absolute advantage, and it seems almost invincible on the surface.

As long as the Emerald Tiger throws Han Fei into the market for grain purchases, it will win the final victory.

But the most important point has been ignored, and that is the general trend.

South Korea is not the only country in the world. The trade among the seven countries circulates with each other. After decades of running-in, there is a relatively balanced and stable situation.

Now that the Emerald Tiger has greatly increased the price of food, it will undoubtedly break this balance to some extent. In order to make up for this loophole, the market will actively tilt resources to maintain stability.

To put it simply, Xinzheng and other places lack food, and food from other countries will automatically flow into South Korea to fill the gap.

If Ye Chen were to handle this matter, it would be very simple.

Just use the token in your hand to send a message to Confucian disciples in several surrounding countries, let them mobilize their contacts, and quickly spread the news of Xinzheng's high-priced grain collection.

Merchants seek profit, and as long as those grain merchants learn about this, they will immediately transport the grain in their hands on a large scale to make huge profits.

No matter how rich the night is, it is impossible to eat so much food. At that time, not only the price of food will drop, but the disaster in Nanyang will also quickly subside.

Perhaps Han Fei had already thought of this point, but he couldn't mobilize enough contacts in a short period of time like himself, so he could only spread the information through the purchase of grain from Wei at a high price to attract people. outside attention.

And if the Emerald Tiger stopped in time, it would be fine, but if he fought to the end, he would definitely lose and go bankrupt.

Seeing what Ye Chen said, Black and White Xuanjian didn't say much. Since there was an agreement before, he will do his duty and obey orders within this year.

Then he continued: "They invited the Jagged Alliance as notarization for this bet. If they lose, there is no possibility of turning the tables."

Hearing this, Ye Chen's expression changed. He had heard of this so-called Jagged Alliance but didn't know much about it?
"What kind of organization is the Jagged Alliance, and who established it?"

Xuan Jian replied, "I'm not very clear about the history of the Jagged Alliance, but I know that this organization was established to fight against the snares.

As for the founder, it should be among the six kingdoms of Shandong, and it is likely that it was not created by one country, but by two countries or even three or four kingdoms. "

When Ye Chen heard the words, he also understood in his heart.

In the final analysis, this Jagged Alliance is still a product that appeared to counter the Qin State. After all, the confrontation between countries is not just fighting and killing on the battlefield, but an all-round struggle.

You must know that the strength of Qin is not only due to the invincible Qin Ruishi, but also quite powerful in other aspects.

For example, Luowang is known as the most terrifying assassination organization in the Seven Kingdoms. It works with the army one by one, so that it can better attack the enemy country.

Over the years, many important people in the six countries have been killed by Luo Wang. In order to deal with this situation, the Jagged Alliance was born to fight Luo Wang.

This also explains why the Jagged Alliance is so powerful that even many princes and nobles dare not offend it, because it was created by several countries.

If you want to compete with the net, you must show enough deterrence.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen then asked: "What is the strength of the Jagged Alliance?"

Xuan Jian replied: "Compared to Luowang, it's not as good as it is, but the difference is not that big. I once fought against one of the leaders, and it was evenly divided."

"There is more than one leader of the Jagged Alliance?"

Ye Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.

Xuan Jian nodded: "There should be more than one, but no more than three. After all, there are only a handful of strong men of this level in the net."

Hearing this, Ye Chen felt a little curious, and then asked: "After the bet between Han Fei and the Emerald Tiger comes to fruition, people from the Jagged Alliance should come forward, right?"

Black and white Xuan Jian said: "As the notary of the game, they will charge half of the betting money as a commission. But correspondingly, they also have the responsibility to ensure the smooth progress of the betting contract. If the loser wants to break the contract, they will do it directly."

Ye Chen chuckled when he heard the words: "This is quite interesting. I'll go there when the time comes to see how the Iron-Blood Alliance is going."

Black and white Xuanjian stood aside and listened without expressing any opinion, and then asked, "When will the black and white swords be returned to me?"

Hearing this, Ye Chen replied: "I still have use for those two swords, let's talk about it later."

After finally getting two famous swords, it is natural to comprehend the sword intent in them to perfect the eight swords flying together, so the swords cannot be returned in a short time.

But now that Xuan Jian is already his bodyguard, it would be inappropriate if he didn't even give him a weapon.

After thinking for a while, he took out two sharp swords from the space ring and handed them to the opponent.

"Use this for now."

Although it was not the first time I saw it, Black and White Xuanjian was still surprised when he saw the weapon that appeared out of thin air.But although he was puzzled, he didn't ask too much.

He took the long sword, waved it casually, nodded slightly, and put it into the scabbard.

Although these two weapons are not as good as his original dual swords, they are considered rare sharp weapons and can be used temporarily.

At this time, two figures came over, it was Ying Zheng and Gai Nie.

Ye Chen looked at the two of them and said, "What's the matter?"

Ying Zheng heard the words and said: "I have something to discuss with my husband..."

　Seeking recommendations!

　　Thanks: "May the rest of my life be quiet and good," and "Zhou Xiao Mu Yu" for their rewards!
