The battle began.

When the caravan of the Luyang Zhao clan transported 200 stone rice to Ruyang City, all the people of Ruyang knew that the war between the Luyang Zhao clan and the Ruyang Zheng clan was about to start around grain and rice.

For a time, the inns, wine shops, tea stalls, and inns in the city, wherever there were people, could hear people talking about the war between the two families with great interest, guessing which side would win the final victory.

Of course, more people still care about the rise and fall of rice prices - since the Luyang Zhao family and the Ruyang Zheng family took the lead in fighting with grain and rice, then the fall in the price of rice shop must be inevitable, even the people in the market can guess it.

The price of rice in Ruyang is relatively stable at present, taking Zheng's rice shop as a standard, for example, in the past month, the price of Zheng's rice shop has been maintained at about 230 yuan, for most of the citizens of Ruyang County whose monthly income can be maintained at about 200 yuan, although this rice price is not cheap, but it is not outrageously expensive.

Generally, there are two men in the people's home, and the women, children and elderly in the family only need a little help to take care of the family, and the family of five can live well; As for a family of three or four, the husband worked hard for a month, and the wife helped a little to support the couple and two children, and there was basically no problem.

But don't think about what you have left.

And now that the Zhao family of Luyang crossed the county to Ruyang, the price of rice naturally fell, which is actually a good thing for the people of Ruyang.

"Zhao's rice shop is listed! Zhao's rice shop is listed! ”

Early in the morning, some county residents rushed to tell each other about the price of grain and rice sold by Zhao's rice in the neighborhood, which attracted a group of people to ask: "How much?" How much? ”

But there are also people who are in opposition at this time, no, a man sneered and said: "Hmph, the Zhao family is clearly robbing the Zheng family's business, no matter how you say it, the Marquis of Ruyang is also our Ruyang people, and the Zhao family is a foreigner, how can you help the foreigner?" ”

At this moment, the people who were surrounded excitedly shouted: "Zhao's rice shop is listed, one stone of rice is two hundred yuan, and one bucket of rice is twenty-one yuan." ”

"Shhhh

Hearing this offer, the crowd gasped in shock.

The man who was still burying the Zhao clan just now was the fastest runner in the world.

Or someone asked him, "Why are you running so fast?" ”

"Go and grab the grain, the price of two hundred yuan and one stone of rice, a fool won't rob it."

When others heard this, they made fun of him and said, "Don't you want to support the Zheng family?" ”

The man replied disdainfully: "You think I'm stupid, I'm thirty dollars short!" ”

In the midst of laughter, a group of people ran to Zhao's rice shop, at this time only to see Zhao's rice shop crowds of people, they spent a lot of effort to squeeze to the front of the team, only to see a small wooden sign with the price of rice hanging outside the store, which read: Today's rice price, one stone of rice is two hundred, and one bucket of rice is twenty-one.

It's true?!

The people of Ruyang gathered outside Zhao's rice shop were unbelievable.

Or someone exclaimed: "This Zhao family, menacing, one stone of rice is sold for two hundred and thirty yuan by the Zheng family, and his family is sold for two hundred yuan, and it has dropped by thirty yuan in one breath?" What is the origin of this Zhao family? ”

Or someone familiar with the matter revealed: "The owner of this Zhao's rice shop is also amazing, and he is also a townsman in Luyang County, but it is not as good as the Ruyang Hou Mansion......"

Hearing this, many people were puzzled by this: "Since it is not as good as the Marquis Mansion of Ruyang, this Zhao family dares to go against the Zheng family?" ”

"Who knows, compared to this, hurry up and grab it."

Saying this, the man who had just buried the Zhao family rushed into the Zhao family's rice shop, and shouted at the guys in the overcrowded store: "Man, man, I want three buckets of rice, I want three buckets of rice." ”

Or someone persuaded him: "Brother, how can you buy it one bucket at a time, one stone is cheaper." ”

The man said frankly: "I am too shy to buy a stone." ”

Similar to this person's situation, most of the people in Ruyang who poured into Zhao's rice shop that day basically bought a few buckets of rice and a few buckets of rice, although compared with the price, it is ten dollars more expensive to buy according to a bucket than to buy a stone of rice directly, but even so, it is cheaper than the Zheng family's rice shop.

Of course, not all the people who buy by the bucket are because they are shy in their pockets, but don't underestimate the market wisdom of these people, although they don't know much, but they can still see at a glance that today's Zhao's rice shop lowered the price of rice, this is just the opening of the battle between the Zhao family and Luyang, the Zheng family will inevitably pay back, and when the time comes, the price of rice will naturally become cheaper and cheaper.

As they guessed, at this moment, Zheng Qian, the prince of the Marquis of Ruyang, was standing on the second floor of his Zheng's rice shop, looking at the crowds on the street from the window.

The local people who were looking for Zhao's rice shop to buy grain lined up in front of their Zheng's rice shop, but the angry thing was that his Zheng's rice shop was empty and had no business.

This is tantamount to a slap directly in Zheng Qian's face.

"Zhao Yu ......"

I saw Zheng Qian staring at the Zhao's rice shop diagonally from the window, gritting his teeth and saying, "Good boy, drop thirty yuan in one go...... Think this will scare me Zheng? Amusing! I'll just accompany you! ”

Hearing this, Wang Zhi hurriedly persuaded him: "Son, think twice." …… That Zhao Yu obviously doesn't know how to do business, he only knows how to lower the price, but according to him, he will lose one point when he sells a bucket of rice, and ten points if he sells a stone, why should the prince have the same knowledge as him? According to his selling method, he can't hold on for a few days! ”

"But what if he survives?"

Zheng Qian turned his head and stared at Wang Zhi and said, "Although Zhao Gongyu has not come forward so far, I don't believe that he will let his young son Hu Lai." …… This Zhao Yu deliberately sold grain and rice cheaply, it must have been instructed by Zhao Gongyu, since he dared to do this, it can be seen that the Zhao family has already prepared a batch of grain and rice, and if you want to wait for him to sell short, I am afraid it will take a few months...... If that's the case, are we just watching these months? ”

As he spoke, he pointed to the crowded local people below, gritted his teeth and scolded, "See? It's all lined up in front of our store! Is it tolerable or unbearable! …… If I can endure this, will my Zheng family still be able to meet people on the ground in Ruyang in the future? ”

After that, he turned his head and instructed several servants from the side: "Isn't it two hundred dollars and one stone of rice to change the brand?" I'm with the Zheng family to the end! ”

"Yes."

The servant left in response and immediately put on a new price tag outside the rice shop, and the price was exactly the same as that of Zhao's rice shop opposite.

Even, there are guys from Zheng's rice shop who greeted the people on the street: "Come here, our Zheng's rice shop has also reduced its price, two hundred yuan a stone, twenty-one yuan a bucket, come and take a look." ”

Hearing the shout, the crowd on the street was crowded with local people who looked at Zheng's rice shop one after another, and when they saw that this was the case, people immediately poured into Zheng's rice shop to buy grain.

It's no wonder, after all, the Zheng family is a local after all, and the Zhao family is a foreigner after all, and in the case of exactly the same price, the people of Ruyang will of course support the Zheng family - unless there are too many people queuing up to buy rice at the Zheng family's rice shop.

The shouts of the guys in Zheng's rice shop naturally attracted the attention of Zhang Ji and others.

Zhang Ji immediately ran to the second floor, and when he saw Zhao Yu and Jingnu standing at the window watching, he said with a smile: "Second son, you must have heard and seen it, right?" The Zheng family really couldn't sit still, and lowered the price of rice to the same price as ours......"

"Of course he won't be able to sit still."

Zhao Yu said lightly: "Ruyang Zheng clan, the local tyrant, our previous actions are tantamount to a slap in the other party's face, if he can still sit still, this city, then I admire." ”

From the side, Jing Nu blinked her eyes and asked in confusion: "What does the young master mean, if the Zheng family is calm, will we be in trouble?" ”

"Of course." Zhao Yu said with a solemn face: "If that's the case, we will be in trouble, we have to immediately urge Steward Cao to transport grain again, and strive to exchange the money in the hands of the local Ruyang people for our grain before the Zheng family reacts, so that the Zheng family's rice shop may not be able to have any business in the next few months." …… That's too bad. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Jing Nu tilted her head and thought about it, but she didn't react for a while, until Zhang Ji couldn't help laughing, and she realized that she was being teased by Zhao Yu.

"Young master." She puffed out her face and pretended to be angry.

"Don't be angry, tease you."

Looking at her cute appearance pretending to be angry, Zhao Yu couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch her cheek.

Jingnu's face was shy, her face was crimson, she secretly glanced at Zhang Ji who was beside her, and whispered in protest: "Young master, you can't ......"

However, her protest did not work, and the little master in front of her still wantonly gently pinched her face.

She became more and more shy, and subconsciously closed her eyes,

Seeing her chest rise and fall, and her eyelashes trembling and trembling, it can be seen that she is nervous and shy at the moment.

I have to say that her appearance is more and more attractive, especially her glutinous 'no', which makes Zhao Yu's heart itch, but there is also an inexplicable sense of guilt that comes with it.

"Ahem, okay, I'm not going to tease you."

With a cough, Zhao Yu turned his head to look at Zhang Ji, but saw Zhang Ji staring at the calluses on his head very familiarly, as if he hadn't seen Fang Cai's scene.

Well, I do know each other very well.

It wasn't until Zhao Yu was done here, and turned his head to look at him, that Zhang Ji was like waking up from a dream, and forcibly took over the topic that was interrupted by Jingnu very unharmoniously: "What does the second prince mean, this Zheng Qian's reaction is quite decisive?" ”

"Decisive? Less. ”

Zhao Yu shook his head, looked at the Zheng's rice shop that was diagonally opposite, and said lightly: "He just made up his mind after weighing the pros and cons, and he can only say that he made a correct judgment, not decisive." If he is decisive, he should reduce the price at the same time the moment we hang out the rice price card...... Let's give him another chance. Zhang Ji, tell the people below that the price will be reduced to 180 yuan a stone, 19 yuan a bucket, and let's give him a fish to break the net. Of course, in the end, it was his Zheng family's fish that died, and it was his Zheng family's net that was broken! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Be. ”

Zhang Ji hugged his fists and responded.

Although he didn't understand why Zhao Yu was so sure, it didn't affect his trust in the second son.
