Chapter 18 The people of the world have insatiable desires
Summer is always a time to be lazy.
The fighting on the border of the Great Zhou became more and more intense. Several more sects and families were involved, but they all stopped at the border of the Great Zhou, and they could no longer move forward except for a little success at the beginning.
The enemy army stopped, and the people of Luoyang City had expected that this year's summer would pass as uneventfully as every summer in the past. There is no harassment of war, and there is no threat of death. Some just live and work in peace and contentment, and be happy and healthy. But events can sometimes be unexpected.
Compared with the tranquility and relief of the outside world, there is not so peace in the Snow Clan's main hall. A group of people is clearly divided into three columns.
"Xue Nianci, I found out that you have recently launched a large amount of funds, and your whereabouts are unknown, I invite the elders of the clan to come today, I want to ask you, where is the snow clan's money used?" said a middle-aged man menacingly.
"Xue Qichi, I use my money, what's your business?" Xue Nianci looked at the menacing Xue Qichi and said lightly.
"You ......" Xue Qi Chi Chi laughed angrily: "Xue Nianci, I'm afraid you have forgotten your identity! Is the money of your vein your money your money? This is the money of the Snow Clan, don't forget, you are just a wild seed picked up by the Snow Clan." I want you to understand what to do and what not to move?"
Before Xue Nianci could speak, a young man slapped Xue Qichi's face and said, "Shut up, although Nianci was picked up, she is also from my Xue family." What's wrong with him using my Xue family's little money?"
The young man in front of him was a Xue family, and Xue Nianci naturally heard the deliberate estrangement, but he ignored it, looked at the young man who had just spoken, and said lightly: "Xue Youning, you don't pretend to be a good person, I haven't looked for you about the affairs of Mangshan North Road yet! And you, Xue Qichi, I didn't pick it up, I know, I don't need you to remind me. ”
The gloom in the eyes of the young man Xue Youning flashed, and he hurriedly smiled: "Don't worry, I am investigating the murderer recently! ”
Xue Nianci snorted coldly, and said to the patriarch and all the clan elders: "I have already discussed the matter of money with the clan elders of my lineage, and I won't bother you about the matter of my lineage." Let's take care of each other!"
After finishing speaking, Xue Nianci led several clan elders behind him out of the meeting hall.
The smile on Xue Youning's face disappeared instantly, and he said lightly to Xue Qichi, who was covering his face: "Continue to investigate, we must find out where the funds in his vein have gone? ”
Xue Youning looked back at the patriarch on the main seat, and said respectfully: "Father, Xue Nianci must want to enter the business circle in Luoyang City with a large amount of money. And Luoyang's business circle is saturated, and other people's cakes will definitely not let him move. Then the final share must be the interests of our various veins. ”
Xue Youning looked around at the elders of the clans and said coldly: "So, while their vein is not yet firmly established, I have calculated the money he has moved, it should be all the funds in his vein! I am still thinking that I should clean him up from there, and if I run into it, then let's start from the economy! Next, the veins keep an eye on their movements. Last time, Mangshan North Road let him run, but this time, it was not so easy. ”
......
......
Xue Nianci's study, Xue Nianci looked at the young man who was holding a black cat in front of him and said worriedly: "It's been two months, when will the plan start? ”
"I just looked at the yellow calendar, the seventh day of the third month is a good day, let's start at noon on the seventh day of the third month!" said Dongluo.
"Is that now?" Xue Nianci wondered.
"Yes, right now. Now it has begun, starting from Huang Jingtie, stockpiling, stockpiling, I want to let all the refining tools in Luoyang City need Huang Jingtie's shop. Within three days, there was an extreme shortage of stock, and I want most people to know that from this moment on, Huang Jingtie has become a hot commodity, and everyone is rushing to buy it first. Merchants are scrambling to stock up on goods!" Dongluo touched the cat in his hand and said lightly.
Xue Nianci's eyes narrowed and said, "Even if Luoyang City has already started, that Zhang Baigui should have almost prepared!"
As Dongluo said, starting from the night of the seventh day of the first month of March, there are hundreds of people in each of the eight districts of Luoyang City, running around the major commercial districts to buy yellow essence iron in an all-round way.
In less than two days, Huang Jingtie on the market has been a little nervous, and some smart businessmen are expensive. Seeing the benefits, he immediately began to stock up. Most of them are civil and military officials, shops of major families. And those who live at the bottom of society, no matter how the price of these goods moves, they still can't afford to buy what they can't afford.
With the impact of 50,000 spirit stones and one billion gold and silver, it was obviously not enough to buy all the yellow essence iron, but some smart businessmen also participated. In this way, Huang Jingtie suddenly became extremely scarce. Thanks to these merchants with ulterior motives, there is a lack of yellow essence iron to refine weapons, and the shops that sell spiritual weapons suddenly have a large number of transactions.
The price of yellow essence iron has risen again and again. When it reached five times as before, people began to go crazy, and the yellow essence iron that had just been transported from the mine was immediately snapped up, while some people rushed to the Sifang City to buy goods in other places. More and more yellow jingtie began to gather in Luoyang City.
More than ten days later, for some reason, the price of Huang Jingtie on the market suddenly dropped again. As if the appointment was made, the price was reduced. There were suddenly a lot more yellow jingtie on the market, but there were still people rushing to buy them, and most of them were people from other cities.
Huang Jingtie had a big ups and downs, which made some people make extra money, but more people hoarded goods at high prices, snapped up sales at low prices, and lost money. This is only one aspect, on the other hand, those spiritual artifact shops have lost a large number of customers after this toss. Credibility has plummeted.
The price of yellow iron fell, however, at this moment. Something else, all of a sudden, was in demand.
Blue Silver Grass. A kind of medicinal herb for practicing pills. It's not very expensive, but the quantity is not much, and it's not easy to find in the mountains and forests.
The price of Blue Silver Grass has risen, and it has gone up like crazy. It rose four times in one day, and it went up eight times in four days.
The terrifying surge has plunged many people into a kind of madness. A lot of people have made a lot of money because of it.
However, it didn't take long. Suddenly, someone in the market sold the blue silver grass, and suddenly, many people became bankrupt. Many people secretly rejoiced.
In the following month, all kinds of training materials, training pill materials, and crazy changes caused the spirit weapon shop and pill store to become turbulent.
Stores are starting to run out of stock, either of this or that.
A month of turmoil. One after another, one thing rises. Or a few things go up, and then they fall again, and the market in Luoyang City becomes very unstable. Merchants are starting to get a little nervous, but more merchants are starting to gamble!
Two months later, Luoyang's market became smoky, and there were more and more crazy investments. Follow this general trend, blindly enter the market, and don't care whether things are good or bad. Up, buy, fall, sell! Sell!
The market is chaotic, but this seems to be only a matter of the business district, and it has nothing to do with the official office, the purpose of the official office is that everyone pays taxes on time, and if you pay the taxes, you can buy and sell as you like.
Although the market is turbulent, there are more frequent buying and selling, and the government collects more taxes. Naturally, the officials smiled. And did not realize the hidden dangers, the horrors, and the conspiracy.
No one knew that a potential economic crisis was quietly sweeping Luoyang City, and it was diverging towards the Sifang City at an uncontrollable speed.
The major families in Luoyang City, the civil and military officials behind the shops began to exert their strength, mobilizing their own forces in the major cities, and preparing for war at all times. When something in Luoyang City rose, it was immediately transported from all sides of the city. The phenomenon of short buying and short selling in the early days began to breed.
After another month, there were more and more so-called gamblers! More and more people earned a large amount of spirit stones in this fluctuating price change, but more people lost their fortunes. But it doesn't prevent those who make a lot of money from starting to blindly follow.
In a restaurant, the three of them were drinking comfortably, and Xue Nianci looked at the noisy people outside the window and muttered: "These people are really crazy! Fortunately, I know in advance when you will buy and sell this plan." Otherwise, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for my Snow Clan to survive this wave! I see that your plan will not only destroy the Great Zhou Hundred Clans, but the Great Zhou!"
Dongluo chuckled and said: "The most difficult thing for people to fill is their desires! As long as they have desires, it is difficult not to go crazy under the drive of desires." In my hometown, this happened several times, and they called him an economic crisis. It is true that many countries have died out in the midst of economic crises. Even some large countries have only recovered after many years. ”
"The main reason why we can influence the market is that we have a lot of money, which can drive the market, and in the past three months, we have made enough money, but some big families and some big merchants in the city have also joined forces smartly, and they have gathered a lot and begun to participate in the game of chess. Gambling from it, wanting to change our pace. Jang Baekyu pondered.
"It doesn't matter, this big game of chess was originally intended for them. Just let them make some more money. In a few days, these big families who have climbed to the position of chess players will all fall to the bottom. All turned into chess pieces again" Xue Nianci looked at Zhang Baigui and said, there was no anxiety in his eyes, only confidence.
Dongluo said lightly: "How is the Chen family?"
"The Chen clan has also entered the game, and a large number of clansmen have begun to pour into this crazy investment. ”
"This person! It's still hard to fill the craving! Presumably, these few big profits have made them lose their normal mind! Now that they have entered the game, then they can start the second step. By the way, is there any movement on the government side?"
"Don't worry! We are cautious and do not leave any handles, even if the government investigates it, we are just like the people who have invested in the hundreds of clans in Luoyang, and we have lost all our money. ”
Dongluo picked up the wine jug, filled the wine glass in front of him and said, "That's the case, then let's go one." ”
