Time is pressing, and Ping An needs to buy some more time, otherwise the plan to purchase medicinal materials for the second time will be in vain, and the scale of the large army composed of the people of Juyun on the other side is getting bigger and bigger, and finally this matter actually alarmed the city lord of Juyun.

The city lord saw that there were suddenly so many people missing from the city, and after some inquiry, he realized that it was the ghosts of those merchants in the Barter Pavilion.

But the incident has already happened, and the people have also gone out, and now it is too late to say anything, the city lord immediately arranged for someone to contact the Lord of Qianhu, and after hearing about this, Qianhu directly sent a team of thousands of people out of the city to escort these people. They are different from merchants, who seek profits, but they need urban development and long-term stability.

Therefore, when the Juyun army was dispatched, the bandits who were ambushed around the official road hid one after another, and some simply changed their clothes, turned into ordinary people, and went to Yanyu City to buy medicinal herbs with the large army.

Those who are not afraid of death want to find an opportunity to see if they can do a few strokes, but how do they know the influence of Juyun City, Juyun has just dispatched an army, and immediately contacted the subordinate cities Yanyu City and Star Picking City, and asked them to immediately send troops to meet the people, and they must not let these people have an accident.

He knew that once something happened to these people, they, the city lords and the commanders of the garrison, would all be held accountable, and no one would be able to run away at that time.

After receiving the order, Smoke and Rain City and Star Picking City immediately contacted their subordinate villages and towns and asked them to escort the people along the way, and they dispatched a large army to the direction of Juyun.

The people of Yanyu City watched the constant mobilization of the garrison outside the city, and they knew that something big had happened, and those who had good things to do inquired about people in the vicinity, but they didn't hear any useful news at all.

The merchants of the city looked at the roaring army and wondered what was happening, because they had a lot more access than the common people.

In the end, someone brought out the news from the city lord's mansion, saying that there was a shortage of medicinal materials in Juyun, and the medicinal herb merchants over there bought medicinal materials at a high price, causing the people in the city to sail to Yanyu City in large numbers.

The merchants who learned of this were happy in their hearts, and they doubled the price of medicinal materials on the same day, which was still because they were afraid of scaring away those people and did not dare to raise it too high. At the same time, they were considering whether to organize a few caravans to go to Juyun to make a profit, after all, there were army handles on the road along the way, and it must be very safe.

After thinking about it, these merchants still gave up this idea, because they knew too much about the methods of those peers in Juyun City, if they went to Juyun with a large number of medicinal materials, those people would definitely lower the price, and then they would be in a dilemma.

It's better to wait for the people of Juyun to arrive and make a lot of money from them, and at what price Juyun will buy it at what price, it is not something they can manage. Thinking of this, they immediately sent people to Sifang and other towns and villages where medicinal herbs were planted to buy a large number of medicinal herbs.

The merchants in Sifang Town are not stupid, although the news was relatively late, but when they saw the medicinal herb merchants in Yanyu City gathering here to buy medicinal materials, they knew that something had happened, and the price of medicinal materials in Sifang Town began to rise. When they knew that the people of Juyun were coming to buy medicinal materials, they doubled the price of medicinal materials.

The only one who is more depressed is the medicinal herb shop that Ping An patronized, originally they sold a large number of medicinal herbs two days ago and felt very happy, now it seems that they seem to have been tricked by the young man, they are sure that the young man must have learned the news in advance, so he came here to sweep the goods, fortunately he did not sweep too much, otherwise the shop owner would have to cry to death.

At the same time, the number of the large army heading to Smoke and Rain City increased again, and the people of nearby villages and towns, and even the people of Star Picking City joined in, and when Ping An saw the large army in front of him and the troops guarding both sides of the official road, he knew that his idea of buying medicinal herbs for the second time was in vain.

Because of the intervention of the army, the nearby towns must have received the news, and the price of medicinal materials will definitely rise, but looking at the clothes on the soldiers, it seems that they are garrisons outside Juyun City, and it should be the city lord who knows about this, and it is estimated that there is pressure from the city lord, and the merchants in Juyun City probably dare not lower the price so low. This is also the luck of misfortune.

It seems that the second purchase of medicinal materials should still have a profit, but the profit is less, and after selling the medicinal materials in his hand, the principal will increase, and he will be able to make a lot of money at that time.

Thinking of this, Ping An cheered up and continued to rush towards Juyun City, not to mention, since the army intervened, all the robbers in the vicinity disappeared, and three days later, Ping An returned to Juyun City.

After he saw the sparse pedestrians in the city, he finally knew why the city lord would intervene in this matter, if the city lord did not intervene, once the people encountered a large bandit team, it would be a human tragedy. At that time, not only Juyun's reputation will stink, but the people in the city will also be gone.

Once a city lacks a large number of people, everything in the city will be paralyzed, and the city will decay, and the heads of the city lord and others may not be saved.

When Ping An came to the Barter Pavilion, the most intuitive feeling was the depression, the sparse crowd wandered around the hall, basically watching, most of the merchants were helpless, they secretly scolded the merchants who bought medicinal materials in their hearts, and prayed that the people in the city would come back quickly.

This is what he saw after Ping An came in, except for the merchants who bought medicinal materials, the rest of the merchants were sad, and those merchants who bought medicinal materials were all red and smiling and talking to each other, although they had no business, but they knew that a large number of businesses were already on the way, as long as they waited for a month, they would have a steady stream of medicinal materials.

Although the city lord talked to them, he didn't push them too hard, but asked them not to keep the price too low, and to let the people who came back make some money, they naturally didn't dare to disobey, that is, to lose some profits, it was not a big deal.

The city lord knew that these people had the support of the Shenwu Chamber of Commerce behind them, and he couldn't suppress them too much, otherwise these merchants would complain to the Chamber of Commerce, and it would be difficult for him to explain to the above.

Ping An glanced at the door, and saw that the purchase price of the medicinal herb merchants had indeed risen a lot, and said in his heart No wonder the people in the city are so crazy, the current price is more than twice as high as the purchase price that Yang Lao gave him at the beginning.

Ping An came to these medicinal herb merchants in a daze as before, standing there quietly, and the merchants around them turned their heads to Old Man Yang after seeing Ping An.

When Old Man Yang saw Ping An, he didn't greet him, but turned sideways slightly and winked at Ping An, and Ping An understood what he wanted to express when he saw Old Yang's movements.

Nodding to Yang Lao without a trace, he walked to the largest booth, looked at the purchase price on it and asked, "What does the number of purchases you mean is not limited?"

The owner of this merchant looked at Ping An with an innocent face, and the roots of his teeth itched with hatred in his heart, and said in his heart, "You kid is so dead, why are you here with me?" If he usually sees Ping An, he will definitely greet him with a smile, after all, Ping An made too deep an impression on them for the first time.

But now this person is afraid to see peace, because everyone knows that the current price is falsely reported by them, and after collecting a little, the price will be reduced immediately, before they do this, but they have almost collected all the medicinal materials in the city, and in order to be safe, they have even purchased all the medicinal materials in the nearby villages and towns.

The booth owner looked at Ping'an's damn look and replied stubbornly: "Yes, unlimited means how much you receive." ”

Ping'an listened to the other party's words squeezed out of between his teeth, with a hint of shame on his face: "I thought you were lying just now, and I thought that if you didn't accept it, I would go to the yamen to sue you, but I didn't expect it to be true." After Ping An finished speaking, he turned his head to the other booths, "You also have unlimited acquisitions, right?"

The merchant who was swept by Ping An looked at Ping An with an embarrassed face, and nodded without smiling, which was regarded as a response to Ping An.

Yang Lao in the merchant looked at the expressions on the faces of several peers, and he couldn't be happy, and said in his heart that Ping'an was too bad, but how did he think that Ping'an was so cute.

After Ping An got the affirmation of these merchants, he nodded happily, said a little wait, turned around and walked out, these merchants looked at the familiar actions of this "plague god" and knew that the other party was going to carry the medicinal materials, they could only pray in their hearts that the other party would take less, and they could pay less.
