The market in the east of the city is full of people coming and going, shops are staggered, caravans gather, and it is prosperous.

Headquarters of Jingping Commercial Bank.

This is a large courtyard with three entrances and three exits, covering an area of about dozens of acres, there are three two-storey small wooden buildings in it to form a character arrangement, the surrounding rockery and flowing water, there are also pieces of bamboo forests to cover, the atmosphere is quite elegant, and it is also a quiet place in the downtown area.

In one of the small wooden buildings, bamboo mats are spread on the ground, bead curtains are falling, and the incense is lit around, and the heads of more than a dozen merchants are sitting side by side, headed by Zhang Heng and Sun Hao, accompanied by Mu Jing's confidant Tan Zong.

"They did it!"

Sun Hao sat on the right side, his face was a little solemn, and the corners of his mouth raised a sarcastic sneer: "A move is like a thunderbolt, at any cost, the means are vicious, leaving no room for anything, this is the meaning of directly killing us!" ”

The Sun family's business is basically based on meat trading and restaurants, but in the past two days, the pigs and chickens and ducks outside the city have not sold him the supply, and there is grain, they have no grange, and the grain can only be bought, but now there is no supply, and in a few days, the restaurant under the command of the Sun family may be closed and listed.

"In my workshop, there is also a big problem with the supply of ore, especially recently the county government asked us to build that batch of weapons, if there is no ore supply, I can't teach the goods, and even the fuel for the stove is lacking, and even some labor iron tools can't be built!" Xu Lin's face was calm, he knelt down, and said in a gloomy voice: "They are ready to cut off our supply and let us close the door!" ”

"Me too!"

"Without wood, you can't make furniture, you can't make a living!"

"There is a salt introduction, this is issued by the county government, and it is quite stable, but the salt road is controlled, and there are several salt merchants who are ready to eat my business, and now it is difficult to move an inch!"

“……”

One by one, they are spitting bitter water.

Although they knew the horror of the scholars, they were still a little frightened when the scholars took action directly.

"Now that we've decided to fight, this day will come sooner or later!"

Zhang Heng's expression was calm and said: "Unless you are willing to kneel directly in front of them, offer your family property, pay for your life, beg for mercy, and maybe save your family, are you willing!" ”

He was calm, on the one hand, because he had no way to escape.

On the other hand, he recently read "Capital", which seemed to open up an incredible world for him, and he suddenly became more confident in Mu Jing, who was not comparable to him in the shopping mall.

"Hmph, I'd rather die than fight!"

"What are you afraid of?"

"Lao Tzu has eaten enough of this nest, what if he loses the lives of dozens of people in a family, he just doesn't want to bow his head!"

On the one hand, they were oppressed to the extreme, and on the other hand, they were supported by Makiyama's confidence in holding military power, so they had to hold on until they were completely defeated.

"But if we don't have a strategy to deal with it, our store won't be able to hold out for a few days!" A timid merchant whispered.

"That's right!"

Everyone nodded, their eyes slanted slightly, and fell on Tan Zong.

"Tan Gongzi, I don't know what the big shopkeeper has deployed?" Zhang Heng looked at Tan Zong, representing everyone's intentions, and asked.

"The young master of this battle already has a plan!"

Tan Zong said with a smile: "The young master said, the first step, you have to learn to show weakness!" ”

"Show weakness?"

When everyone heard this, they frowned slightly, fell into thoughts, and appreciated the meaning.

"How weak are you going to go?" Sun Hao asked.

"At the very least, we have to make outsiders feel that we have lost!" Tan Zong conveyed Mu Jing's words: "Only by breaking the other party's vigilance can you kill with one blow!" ”

"And then?"

Zhang Heng's eyes brightened, and then asked.

"And then we'll start preparing for the fund!" Tan Zongdao: "The big shopkeeper said, the shopping mall is like a battlefield, since the battlefield, the arrangement of troops is necessary, the money is the soldiers and horses in our hands, whoever has more money, whose soldiers and horses are strong, so from now on, you prepare money and gold cakes, how much can be set, you have no way out, you can only fight!" ”

"Good!" Xu Lin shouted: "My Xu family has also accumulated a lot over the years, I may not have ten thousand gold family wealth, but I can raise three thousand gold!" ”

One gold and 10,000 gold, three thousand gold, that is equal to 30 million yuan, this era is priceless, the good land only needs 15,000 yuan per mu, the Xu family's family property is considered to be the upper standard of Wuyin, if you can, you can win 2,000 acres of good land, but unfortunately in this era, buying and selling fields requires status, and businessmen are not qualified.

"I can raise fifteen hundred gold!"

"Eight hundred gold is no problem!"

"Since I want to fight, I will also fight hard, I can get 1,200 gold!"

The blood of the crowd was boiling, and they were united.

"This battle is a last battle, and I will take out five thousand gold!" Zhang Heng gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

"I'll take out three thousand five hundred gold!"

Sun Hao's eyes were red, although he was a businessman, he was just a villain in the eyes of many people, but he knew one thing, and there was no turning back when he opened the bow.

**************************

In the next few days, in Wuyin County, the east and west markets began to become chaotic, and this business war that opened history also began.

"Why is this Zhang's silk village closed!"

"The Xu family's blacksmith shop is also closed!"

"And the woodware shop over there is also closed!"

"What's going on?"

"Isn't this obvious, they offended the warriors in the city, and they were squeezed and closed!"

"Oh, that's pathetic!"

"Who let them offend the scholars, don't they seek death?"

"But Zhang's silk village is closed, the price of the Liu family's silk shop has risen, and now the most common linen cloth costs 300 yuan a horse, and 250 yuan a horse can be used before, I heard that the best Shuchuan silk embroidery has reached more than 3,000 yuan a horse."

"Who said no, even the price of salt has risen!"

“……”

Ancient and modern, some rules will not change, such as prices, less and more prices, more and lower prices, chaos will cause market price turmoil, with the closure of many shops, it has naturally caused prices to rise.

……

North of Wuyin City.

A splendid mansion.

In the hall, in addition to the merchants who joined the Jingping Commercial Bank, there were also some small businessmen who could not get in, and the heads of more than a dozen other famous businessmen in Wuyin County also got together at this moment.

But in terms of the grim atmosphere of Jingping Commercial Bank, they are here to have a joyful atmosphere, and they are smiling one by one.

The first person is the owner of this house, Gong Chang.

Gong Chang is less than forty years old this year, wearing a gray robe, wearing a jade crown, somewhat elegant, dignified, although he looks a little blessed, but his temperament is good, he sits in the first place, steady as Mount Tai, smiling Mimi, like a smiling tiger.

"Everyone, Zhang Heng and they are looking for death, we have to seize the opportunity!"

Gong Chang was a gangster when he was young, but he couldn't bear his fate, he had a sister who was like a flower, married into the Zhu Mansion, the first wealthy family in Wuyin at that time, and served as a concubine for the head of the Zhu family, so he relied on the Zhu family, he began to do business, although he was flattering, but he was really exquisite, and the relationship between the disciples of the Shi clan was good, maybe the children of the Shi clan also needed a dog, and he caught up.

He began to do business, maybe he did have talent in this area, coupled with the support of the Zhu family, as well as the relationship with the Shi family, in just 20 years, with the food provided by the Shi family, he became the first merchant in Wuyin, controlling most of the grain import and export in Wuyin.

A person, if he has been a dog for too long, his servility will go deep into the bone marrow, and the Shi clan is like a god in Gong Chang's heart, in his opinion, Zhang Heng and these people actually dare to fight against the Shi clan, it is completely dead.

"Who said no, that cripple Xu didn't strike iron well, and he came to mix these, his workshop didn't want it anymore!"

"That guy Sun Hao, the family property he inherited just now, we don't have to be polite to their restaurant!"

"With the Lord of the Warrior Clan behind us, who dares to oppose us!"

The crowd echoed.

"Master Gong, this Zhang Heng has been holding the Zhang family to run silk for many years, and he has never put our small silk shop in his eyes, this time he actually dared to go against the adults of the Shi clan, and he was doomed!"

A very shrewd middle-aged man walked up, with a shrewd light in his eyes, and said, "I just don't know when the silk village in his hand will ......."

This is the head of the Lin family's silk village, Lin Mu, his silk business is second only to Zhang Heng, but the Zhang family's business has been deeply rooted, and it has always pressed him to death, and there is a resentment in his heart!

This time, the Shi clan came forward and took the supply of Shuchuan Jinxiu from Zhang Heng for him, which made him grateful to the Shi clan, and also doubled his ambition.

"Well said, well said!" Gong Chang laughed and said: "Zhangjia Silk Village has been closed for several days by us, and their shop will definitely be sold cheaply, so we will eat them in one go, and the other people are the same, and it is a dead end to go against us!" ”

"Good!"

"Hahaha, let's toast the Gong family master!"

"Respect!"

The crowd rejoiced, as if victory was within reach.
