Chen Kuo and Feng Huiyi's bitter plan succeeded, and on the surface, the soldiers who felt worthless for Feng Huiyi to be beaten were filled with righteous indignation and took the initiative to ask for battle. Secretly, there are still some soldiers who seem to be secretly planning something, look at the attitude of not doing anything, I'm afraid they will really do something earth-shattering!
In the dark night, a black shadow flashed out of the barracks, avoiding all the sentry guards, and the figure rushed into the forest next to the village very quickly.
Soon after this figure went deep into the forest, in the forest, five guys covered with green grass and like wild men suddenly gathered together, four of them followed the disappeared figure into the forest without saying a word, and the other turned around and ran towards the barracks.
Two hours later, in the tent of the commander of the army, Chen Kuo sneered after listening to the report of his subordinates.
It's been four days, and the fox is finally showing its tail!
Whether there are spies in the army, has always been a mystery, it is just speculation, in order to find out this guy, how much pressure Chen Kuo has to bear, now there are rumors in the army, morale is low, although it does not matter in the peaceful and prosperous era, but who knows when the war will break out, the most important thing, is still embarrassing!
Well, though, now the spy has finally emerged! and successfully hid the secret letter for him, and then took it directly.
"What do you ask?" Chen Kuo looked at a cronie and said.
"Returning to the general, that person is so stubborn, he would rather die than give in."
"Then give him a ride." Chen Kuo was obviously really angry, if it weren't for his wife listening to Dong Ce's speculation. I'm afraid that after the second of February, he will probably be a corpse!
"Mr. Wang. I beg you to write another one with the words in this letter. Chen Kuo handed a bamboo cylinder the thickness of a pen to Wang Hanlei.
Wang Hanlei took it and poured out a roll of notes, looked at it and nodded. "What does the general want me to write?" ”
"Well......" Chen Kuo pondered for a moment, and then said: "Just write it like this......"
A large net was quietly cast out by Chen Kuo.
……
"Hehe, Dong Yilang goes all the way!" The largest pawnshop in Dapeng Mansion, Qian Ji's shopkeeper respectfully sent Dong Ce outside the pawnshop.
Gold and silver are not the mainstream currency in these years, but they can also be used as an exchange, although it has always been similar to one tael, but the gap between ten taels and one gold is large, often one gold can be exchanged for at least eleven or twenty taels of silver, and then exchange for thirteen or four copper coins are not a problem.
But because there is no bank. Generally, the exchange is mostly to the pawnshop. Otherwise, Dong Ce will definitely lose money if he pays the gold directly, although the gold is not his, but the extra share after the exchange is his gain!
In this regard, he was naturally happy to do so, and almost visited all the pawnshops in Dapeng Mansion.
Dong Ce glanced at Zhang Dagui and the others who were moving two boxes of silver, and then bowed his hand to the pawnshop shopkeeper. After exchanging pleasantries, he prepared to walk to the mansion of a grain merchant who had been negotiated in advance.
But before he could leave the pawnshop a few steps, suddenly a horse galloped on the street, and a person on horseback struck a gong and shouted: "General Chen has conquered Xiangyunguan." Now that Huang Sangyu is safe, the old folks can pass by with peace of mind in the future, don't worry about it anymore! ”
Hear this. The pedestrians on the street immediately boiled, all chanting and praising Chen Kuo.
"In two days. You're afraid you won't be able to laugh! Dong Ce smiled slightly, and said to Zhang Dagui and the others: "Let's go." ”
It seems to be just as Dong Ce said. When the people were still immersed in the news of Chen Kuo's victory, the prices in Dapeng Mansion had begun to rise quietly!
"It's finally here!" Lu Kexuan sat in the wine shop, watching several drinkers complain because of the rise in wine prices.
"Brother Dong, why is it just that after the price of our Jinling rises, it will cause the whole Daning to follow suit?" Lu Kexuan's question is not unreasonable, Jinling has risen many times before, but after a period of time, it slowly came back again, but this time, it actually affected Xuzhou within half a month.
Dong Ce smiled slightly and said, "It's very simple, because there are fewer goods in your hands!" ”
"Shhh Rare things are expensive, Lu Kexuan naturally understands, because what he does is this kind of business, but he never thought that ordinary commodities would become rare!
This undoubtedly requires huge financial resources, and Ningzhou businessmen happen to have this strength, and now that Dong Ce is integrated, everyone has begun to sweep all directions from Ningzhou, resulting in scarce goods, and the price has naturally risen.
"It's just that so many goods have arrived in Jiangnan, I'm afraid it will bring down the price!" Lu Kexuan only saw the problem now, and he couldn't help but worry.
"It's not low, because we have the big customer of the national religion, now tens of thousands of people in Jiangnan follow the national religion to eat and drink, and because of the rise in wages, the people of Jiangnan are no longer worried about the price increase, and the traders will not lose money, let alone push the price down, then the doubling of prices in Jiangnan is doomed, the growth of prices will drive taxes, and we have hoarded so many commodities in our hands, foreign businessmen want to make a big profit in Jiangnan can only be a fool's dream, so you don't have to worry about the goods in your hands can not be sold."
Lu Kexuan was finally relieved after hearing this, and he also saw that the most important thing was to increase the salary, no wonder Dong Ce asked them to increase the money for the men under him, but on the contrary, the price regressed, anyway, after the salary rise, the life of the people in Jiangnan is no different from usual, which is doomed...... Wait a minute!
Lu Kexuan suddenly glared, looked at Dong Ce and said, "Dong Yilang, in this way, have we made money?" ”
Dong Ce saw Lu Kexuan's enlightened expression, smiled slightly, and said: "This is natural, after all, Brother Lu's low hand on this batch of goods is so cheap that for today's market price, it is so cheap that people hit their heads against the wall." ”
"But there are only these batches, and it won't be the same in the future! Is it worth the effort just for a batch of goods? Lu Kexuan was a little confused.
"How much you pay, how much you get back, if Brother Lu doesn't use this money, then it's not that you don't make money, but you lose it!"
Lu Kexuan is not a stupid person, as soon as he heard Dong Ce's words, he immediately understood, the higher the price rises, the less valuable the cash will be, only the materials will remain the same, of course, it also depends on whether you can exchange this batch of materials for money!
And Jiangnan really has a group of two hundred and five, in order to gain fame and gain believers, they must not watch their efforts in front of them go to waste, so they can only continue to invest a huge amount of money to feed these victims who can bring them a high status!
Tens of thousands of people's rations, clothing, and shelters, needless to say how terrible their needs are, and how much Taiping Dao has to pay to really get the support of these tens of thousands of people, I'm afraid they are already afraid of this!
As the merchants returned to Jiangnan with a large number of goods, back to Ningzhou, the prices in Jiangnan did not move, because the merchants gradually came to their senses, but they had to continue, because now retreating, will only lose all their money, the only thing to do is to hope to maintain the current prices, and then sell the materials in their hands, that will definitely make a lot of money!
[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! (To be continued.) )
