The gloomy clouds are still accumulating, and everyone inside and outside the exchange is sad.

Now it's the turn of the buyer not to be in a hurry, the high-rollers in the south, who have already bought horses, began to wander around the city of Ji County, and those who did not buy horses also drank happily and were not in a hurry to buy and sell at all.

When despair rises, it becomes irrational. The desperate and numb people gradually gathered in the house of the owner of the Feng Village, making the surname Feng anxious.

Wen Qian wanted to calm down, but his heart was still boiling. He looked at Cui Guang who was sitting in the room and the owner of the Feng Zhuang who was constantly turning in circles, and couldn't help but say, "In a few days, the transaction will be completed." As soon as the southern merchants returned, we could only drink the northwest wind. ”

The owner of the Feng Village did not stop, and said: "The people outside have been staying here and making noise for the past few days, and I can't hold on to this village." Lao Cui, you should find a way to get out. ”

Now the situation is clear, in the final analysis, Lu Fan's escape minimizes their interests, and Cui Guang is the scapegoat, just because he contributed to the price asymmetry. Lu Fan fled, and everyone couldn't find him, but Cui Guang was still there, and everyone was staring at him. But just because he is a member of the Cui family, everyone dare not touch him.

"Now, that's all that's it." Cui Guangdao: "I'm here, these people are still ghostly, and they can only sacrifice me." ”

Wen Qian raised his head, and the Feng Zhuang master said, "Old Cui, what do you want to do?" ”

Cui Guangdao: "Find someone, give him some money, and we'll play a bitter trick." Then, the overall situation here is supported by Brother Wen. ”

"Me?"

In the evening, Cui Guang went out when suddenly a frustrated horse dealer rushed out and stabbed him. In front of everyone's eyes, Cui Guang was stabbed twice, and blood splattered on the street. The wounder was restrained by the Cui family's guards who took away the knife and restrained him.

Soon, the county commander Han Yan was alarmed, and Yuan Xi also followed.

He looked at Cui Guang, who was lying on the bed with a pale face, and said a little apologetically: "These horse dealers are out of control, and they are indeed prone to make trouble, this time it is our government's carelessness." ”

Although Cui Guang was attacked, his life was big and his life was saved, his lips moved, but he couldn't make a sound.

Yuan Xi said: "You have a good rest." ”

A few people went out, and Yuan Xi instructed Han Yan: "In the next few days, we must send more people to keep an eye on these horse sellers, and we can't let them make trouble anymore." Alcohol is forbidden in taverns. ”

Speaking of which, he and Cui Guang don't have any suspicions, and Cui Guang lent him money back then, so the friendship is not bad. It's just that because he didn't transfer the land in Youzhou to the Cui family as promised, it was a little unpleasant. Cui Guang was stabbed, he must have been a little unhappy.

At this time, the horse dealers gathered in the Feng family had long been dispersed. Everyone originally had a breath of air for Cui Guang, but now that Cui Guang has been stabbed, half of the anger in their hearts has disappeared. But the anger is gone, and the horse still can't be sold. I have to have a sad face, scratch my ears and cheeks, can't eat during the day, and can't sleep at night. So, they gathered together and discussed the method.

At this time, the tone was slightly deflected, and someone said: "Instead of blaming Mr. Cui Guang, it is better to say that it is the fault of the southern merchants." Now their offer is lower than last year's, and they are simply insatiable. Besides, I think the one called Lu Fan didn't come to buy horses at all, he deliberately came to lower the price. First we let out the news that we wanted to buy it, gathered all our horses, and then suddenly stopped buying them, so as to suppress our prices. ”

"Yes, these southerners are indeed hateful and full of tricks. We're fooled. ”

"What then? Can these people still be arrested? ”

Immediately no one spoke. They also knew that it was unrealistic to arrest the southern merchants.

"In my opinion, someone is in collusion with the southerners."

"Boss Wen, who do you say? Who colluded with the Southerners? ”

Wen Qian, who spoke, evoked a smile and said, "I said earlier that there is a problem with the assassination history surnamed Yuan, but you don't believe it. Now that it has been so many days, no one has been able to find Lu Fan, who fled south. I don't believe that he has the ability to reach the heavens and escape the pursuit along the road. It can only be said that this is a premeditated farce. ”

Whenever people are desperate, they always believe some conspiracy theories. Wen Qian's words, although full of loopholes, have grasped one of the key points: perhaps Yuan Xi can be listed as the second scapegoat.

"Let's recall, at the beginning, Lu Fan came over, but no one saw him, so he found Lord Thorn Shi, what did they talk about?"

"Immediately, there is no reason for collecting taxes for no reason, or two percent? Isn't this blatant building momentum for him? After hearing the news, we just came here from all over the world to sell horses, didn't we? ”

"Later, Lu Fan fled south, didn't he just take a salary from the bottom of the kettle, hang all of us here, and push the price of horses to the lowest level, he was simply drinking our blood."

"It's a game at all!"

……

"It's just a ......"

Yuan Xi crossed his legs, listening to the melodious tune played by Shi'er in his ears, while talking to Tian Chou, Lu Fang and others.

"But I don't need to negotiate with Lu Fan, and I don't need to lower the price of the horses and drink their blood. Everything is caused by adjusting supply and demand. ”

Cao Cao wanted to buy a horse to expand the tiger and leopard ride, and he found Jiangdong Sun as an intermediary to buy a horse in Youzhou, because the horses in Youzhou were cheap. Whether it is Xiliang or Bingzhou, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and it is inconvenient to come and go, so we are here to be a price depression. It is natural for him to come to us to buy horses, but there is an upper limit on the price, and beyond this upper limit, then they would rather go to Xiliang to buy horses. ”

"I happen to have in my hands the two thousand horses that Le He Dang bought from the Huns, which are strategic resources that have exhausted all our liquidity. Since Lu Fan buys horses, he buys them wherever he goes, so it is better for us to sell them to him. ”

But the people in Youzhou also hoarded a large number of horses, and the existence of these retail investors directly increased the supply. If I go directly to Lu Fan to negotiate, then the price is bound to be unsightly. ”

"So I cut off the supply first, let Tian Yu intercept the horses flowing in from Yuyang, and set up another checkpoint in the north of Ji County, and the price of horses in Ji County created a part of the illusion, making people think that the horse market was going to be prosperous. I can see a hint of it on the black market. ”

"I deliberately set a tax rate of 20%, not only to make them unable to negotiate, but also to make the price soar further. With a high point, people have a reference, and even if the tax rate is lowered, they will not go down. Greed is in nature. ”

"Lu Fan is a famous person in Jiangdong, but he attaches great importance to feelings when doing things, and there is no absolutely calm calculation. He was under pressure because of his arrival and anxious about the high prices, so I gave him an outlet. ”

"Le Hedang's hostile position with me is well known to the world, and he just used Mr. Le's identity to make a big deal with Lu Fan. Selling the horse at a price higher than the original market price was almost the cost of Cao Cao going to Xiliang to buy a horse. ”

It's ridiculous that Lu Fan still feels that he has picked up a bargain, I'm afraid he will have to wait until he returns to Jiangdong to react. Now in this market, the relationship between supply and demand has been adjusted again. How can the price of horses not fall? ”
