Chapter 57: Business War (Part I) (And three more!) )

However, on the 10th, the news that the families of the merchants who came to visit Guo Jia that day to join Cao Cao was widely known.

In the Chen Mansion in Runan, dozens of family heads of all sizes gathered.

Chen Yu, the head of the Chen family in Runan, punched the case.

"These damned businessmen dare to ignore our warnings and join Cao Cao!"

Guo Xun, the head of the Guo family in Lu County, sneered: "Brother Chen is worry-free. At most, the lowly merchants will cause some small obstacles to our plans, and we will let those lowly people die without a place to bury them in a few hands. ”

"Yes, just go as planned, don't worry about it. Even if those businessmen defected to Cao Cao, they may not be sincere, maybe it was Guo Fengxiao who threatened with swords, they had to join, but they would never dare to confront us. Xu He, the head of the Xu family of Chen County, said with a smile, not caring about the threat of those merchants at all.

Later, the Yanzhou merchants established the Yanzhou Chamber of Commerce, and the Yuzhou merchants established the Yuzhou Chamber of Commerce to jointly fight against the major scholars in Yan and Henan.

After the establishment of the two chambers of commerce, the first thing to do is to recruit other merchants, and for those who refuse to join, they will be regarded as dissidents, and the forces of the two chambers of commerce will be gathered to fight together until they agree to join or go bankrupt.

In less than a month, countless businessmen in Yan and Henan joined the two major chambers of commerce, and countless businessmen were forced to go bankrupt.

Then, the two major chambers of commerce severed the trade with those scholars, so that those scholars could not buy a single bit of food, cloth, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar and other utensils for a while.

"Bastard! These lowly merchants! How dare you really stand up to us! ”

The inability to buy those daily necessities in the mansion for many days made Chen Yu angry, and he could see at a glance that it was those businessmen who were targeting them.

Some stores even put up a wooden sign at the door, marking "Our store does not sell scholars!" ”

Some are even more ruthless, directly marked "Scholars and dogs, no entry!" ”

Many people regard the latter sentence as a joke after dinner.

Subsequently, Chen Yu sent dozens of servants with guys to knock and knock those merchants, if they knew each other, then he wouldn't care about this matter, if they didn't know each other, he would directly smash their shop!

Unbeknownst to them, those servants had just advanced to those shops and threatened a few words, and then countless officers and soldiers swarmed in and arrested those servants. How can some domestic servants who usually play tricks with the common people be compared with Cao Jun? Even if it is just some Tuntian soldiers who are in charge of the city defense and Tuntian, it is by no means something that those domestic servants can fight against. Several domestic servants also shouted at Cao Jun, and even resisted, but Cao Jun was directly beheaded, and their heads were hung on the head of the city, warning those scholars not to think of solving the problem by force.

"It's too much of a deception! It's too much of a deception! ”

"A bunch of! How dare you do that! ”

The heads of the major families scolded those businessmen one after another.

Chen Yu patted the case: "Everyone, don't be impatient!" Calm down! Listen to me! ”

"The current situation is obvious, Cao Cao and Guo Jia are helping those businessmen, so we must not use force again, otherwise Cao Cao will have a reason to come and slaughter us directly!"

Guo Xun leaned on crutches, stroked his long gray hair, and said, "These daily necessities, we can let our merchants go to other places to buy." Their minds are nothing more than to let us retreat from the difficulties, and disgust us by the way, as long as we persevere, they must be the ones who can't hold on first. ”

Xu He nodded, "Continue to raise the price of grain, and send someone to release the news, saying that Cao Cao sent troops to attack Yuan Shu, so that the price of grain will rise further!" ”

The heads of the families nodded in favor of Xu He's decision, and several family heads who were in charge of walking the news immediately left to gather people to prepare for action.

Then, less than two days after the news spread, those who spread the rumor that Cao Cao was about to go south to attack Yuan Shu were arrested by Wang Tu, the envoy of Yanzhou, and Wu Zhou, the envoy of Yuzhou, and confessed to the heads of the family who sent them to spread the rumors.

Later, after asking Cao Cao and Guo Jia for permission, Man Chong directly ordered Wang Tu and Wu Zhou to destroy those inciting families, and confiscate all their hoarded property, grain and grass, that is, they fell into Cao Cao's hands, which made Cao Cao happy for a while, and he wished to copy a few more to get rich.

Whether it's cool to copy the house or not, whoever copies it knows.

It's cool to copy your home for a while, and it's always cool to copy your home.

Xun Yu's face also had a little more smile, he was Cao Jun's big housekeeper, the more money and food in the warehouse, the easier it was for him, and he could also carry out a lot of people's livelihood construction, and he didn't have to worry too much about the cost of the martial arts hall, armaments and military salaries that were far higher than before would empty Cao Jun's warehouse.

Cao Cao looked at the report written by Manzhong, and said happily, "The foundation of these scholars is really deep, and a few small families have so much inventory, so aren't those big families... Hey, hey, hey... Hey, hey, hey."

Guo Jia hurriedly broke Cao Cao's illusion: "Meng De, are you crazy?" Is it addicted to copying your home? Hurry up and stop me. ”

Cao Cao glanced at Guo Jia, "What's the matter, I'm not addicted to it?" ”

Xun Yu couldn't help but laugh when he heard the conversation between the two, but what he said was right, the Shi clan has a deep heritage, and as a member of the Yingchuan Xun clan, he naturally knows that even if he is a Qingliu family, he still has a lot of heritage.

However, I have to say that Guo Jia's hand is indeed too poisonous, and he does not sell daily necessities to the scholars, but fortunately, Guo Jia and Yingchuan Xun and a few others took refuge in Cao Cao or a neutral family in advance, and strictly ordered not to spread the word, otherwise even they will suffer.

The two chambers of commerce bought a large number of daily necessities from nearby Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jizhou, and Jingzhou, and then sold a lot of inventory to the people at half the price, and then lifted the purchase restrictions on the scholars in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, but the price increased several times regardless of whether the scholars and the people bought them.

The major families are helpless, no matter how high the price is, they have to sell it, and they have to buy it if they don't buy it. The prices of these daily necessities in several nearby states and counties have also increased several times due to the large purchases of the two major chambers of commerce, and the prices in Yanzhou and Yuzhou are quite cheap. They could only smash their teeth and swallow in their stomachs.

As a result, when the businessmen of the two major chambers of commerce heard that Guo Jia ordered these daily necessities to be sold at half price to the people, they all thought that although they could disgust the family this time, they would lose money. Unexpectedly, Guo Jia still had this hand, not only did he not lose, but he also made a lot of money.

However, it is obvious that Guo Jia will not be satisfied with this, after all, the food prices in Yan and Henan have not dropped much, but the businessmen of the two major chambers of commerce will not stop so shallow after tasting the sweetness of revenge, but will eat the marrow and know the taste, and take further action under Guo Jia's instructions.
