The economic situation in Jizhou, with the large amount of capital investment by the merchants under the jurisdiction of the Wei State, did not get better, but completely eroded in a short period of time.

Before, it was only the funds of the Northland Chamber of Commerce, but it was just suppressed, and at most, many merchants followed the trend to make profits, but it was a little calm.

And now, the power of Wei merchants to participate in the war has really created chaos on the battlefield.

This is an epoch-making war, and for the Wei State, this war is too unfamiliar, so strange that they can't use it completely even if they have 'thousands of troops'.

Chen Qun's business office was assisted by the financial assistance of businessmen in the four prefectures, and with the assistance of the local authorities, he was full of pride and self-confidence, and invested tens of billions of money in one go, which was equivalent to millions of gold in goods and funds, suppressing the market situation in various parts of Jizhou.

However, the situation did not calm down as he expected, but instead there was a backlash that fueled the fire.

Competing for the market and controlling the price of goods, even if Chen Qun united with the merchants of the Wei State, after all, he was not as experienced as Mi Zhu, who had been rolling in the business for many years.

With the cooperation of Mi Zhu and Su Shuangzhang Li, an alternating effect between regions has been formed, so even if the Wei State Commerce Government has invested tens of billions of dollars, there is still a situation of demolishing the east wall and making up the west wall.

Jizhou is too big, Chen Qun is confident that he can suppress the economy of a city, but he can't control the overall situation at all, prices soar, and inflation begins to gradually appear.

Under such circumstances, many people in various places could not even afford to buy a pound of meat or a stone of rice, so naturally they complained, and the suppression of the Wei court was also clouded.

After 10 February, the situation worsened.

In Hejian, Zhongshan, Bohai and other places. In the border connecting Youzhou, because of the erosion of the local economy, there was even a frenzy of fugitives.

Almost every day, people dragged their families and tried their best to break through the territory of Wei and enter the territory of Youzhou.

When Cao Cao, the king of Wei, received such news, he was furious. Unable to suppress his anger any longer, he immediately ordered Zhang Liao, the general of Wei, to go north overnight, sit on the boundary bridge, and block the frontier.

This situation completely sparked tensions between Wei and Wu.

On February 7, Zhang Liao, the general of Wei, went north, took over all the troops of Jieqiao in the name of the commander of the Wei army, and rose up to force Youzhou.

February 8. Huang Zhonghao, the commander of the Youzhou battalion, hesitated to lead 50,000 troops, went south to Jizhou, and arrived at the border of Zhuo County.

All of a sudden, there was some wind and noise in the north, and the whole atmosphere became tense.

Yecheng, the business house.

Lobby.

Chen Qun's gloomy eyes swept over everyone. Filled with a spoofing atmosphere: "Why, why until now." The price of our food has not been brought down? ”

"My lord, the price of grain is still maintained at about 800 yuan per stone!"

An official whispered.

"Why is this happening?" Chen Qun said coldly: "Where did the 30,000 stone of grain sent from Yanzhou go?" ”

He was full of interest and wanted to compete with the Northland Chamber of Commerce, but in the end he failed, and there was a trace of helpless decadence in his heart.

"My lord, the Northland Chamber of Commerce once burned nearly 100,000 stone of grain in one go. At present, the scope of food shortage in Jizhou is too large, our grain appeared on the market, and it was sold out in an instant, and now the food is insufficient, so the price has not been able to come down! "The newly established Jizhou Chamber of Commerce represents Shang Jia Luocheng. Explained softly.

"The most important thing is that Jizhou is too big!"

One of the businessmen bowed down and said: "They can buy in the east city, buy and sell in the west city, we can't keep up with the rhythm, the price of Julu's grain has been raised, but the grain in the river has been depressed, the grain we put into the river has been transferred to the middle, and all the profits have gone into the pocket of the Peking University Chamber of Commerce!" ”

In addition to the fact that Yecheng is relatively stable, the entire market in Jizhou is in chaos, and Chen Qun's underestimated foundation of the Northland Chamber of Commerce in Jizhou cannot touch the direction of their attack.

The whole Jizhou, not a small township, has nearly 100 cities, and the prices of each city are a little different, and the Beidi Chamber of Commerce uses the price difference between them, but it consumes a lot of their funds.

"What about the other items?" Chen Qun asked.

"It's messy!"

Luo Cheng smiled a little bitterly, and continued: "Some commodities have a price, there is no market, some commodities have a priceless market, the tens of thousands of catties of refined iron purchased by Luo's Workshop have now doubled in price, and they can't be sold, and the tens of millions of dollars smashed out have already entered the pocket of the Northland Chamber of Commerce!" ”

The means of the Northland Chamber of Commerce, they learned for the first time, they are businessmen, they have been businessmen for so many years, but they never thought that there are so many means between buying and selling.

Many people have suffered a lot.

The money invested in it is rarely recovered.

"Where do they get so much money?"

Chen Qun's eyes were red, bursting with anger, and he gritted his teeth and said: "We have invested tens of billions of money, as if they have been lost, and they seem to have a steady stream of funds!" ”

"Lord Chen, maybe we underestimated the funds they had entered Jizhou this time!" Someone whispered: "At least nearly 20 billion dollars!" ”

"No matter what, we must resist their attacks and fight back!"

Chen Qun said coldly.

"My lord, the biggest price fluctuation recently is cloth, we can compete with them in this regard!"

A Jizhou merchant stood up and said: "Our Gong family has hoarded 20,000 fine brocades, don't they want to buy them, we will let them go and smash their funds to death!" ”

"Yes!"

Chen Qun's eyes lit up, and said: "You should do this matter, it is best to lure the snake out of the hole, and sell it in the river, the river is the closest to the giant deer, if they buy it, they will definitely transport the goods south to the giant deer for sale, and then let the ghost pawn assist!" ”

――――――――――――――――――――

The economic war in Jizhou was in full swing, on the contrary, although Wu and Wei were in confrontation between the two armies, they had no intention of going to war.

In fact, whether it is Huang Zhong or Zhang Liao, they know it very well in their hearts. Everyone started the battle, but it was just a show of attitude.

The Wei State sent troops to the boundary bridge to show a kind of pressure to break the boat, and they sent troops to show that if you continue to play like this, we will start fighting.

And Huang Zhong went south. also showed his attitude, fight and fight, if you dare to step into Youzhou, I will fight you to the end.

However, they all knew in their hearts that before the curtain was completely drawn on this economic battle, Wei would not start this battle unless he automatically admitted defeat.

February 15, the market in Hejian County. Six or seven stores of the Beidi Chamber of Commerce pressed a batch of cloth, and before it could be shipped out, it was investigated out of the warehouse, and it was fully seized by the government office, but it lost tens of millions of dollars.

On February 17, Jia Xu, the commander of the ghost pawns, appeared in Hejian Lecheng City.

"One of the two giants of the Northland Chamber of Commerce, the head of the Zhang family. Zhang Li, we haven't seen each other for a long time! "In the middle of a mansion. Jia Xu looked at Zhang Li with a smile: "In our Wei country, you are also the number one person!" ”

Today's Wei State, Su Shuang and Zhang Li are famous.

Because of them, Wu Guo has already turned Jizhou upside down without spending a single soldier. Even if Wei was contemptuous of the merchants, he did not dare to underestimate them.

"Good tricks!"

Zhang Li gritted his teeth, and stared at the person beside Jia Xu with a somewhat fierce gaze: "Zhang Long, why did you betray me?" ”

"Patriarch, since you treat me as an outcast. Naturally, I'm going to have to find another backer! Zhang Longnian was in his early thirties, his face was calm, and he replied very indifferently.

"I said, why was our warehouse found by Wei Guo, it turned out to be you!" Zhang Li's fists were clenched, and his green muscles were exposed: "You are really my good clan brother, are you worthy of the ancestors of the Zhang family?" ”

"Big brother, if you are bent on taking refuge in the Wu Kingdom, and even give up the ancestral land, you are worthy of the ancestors of the Zhang family?" Zhang Long said coldly: "If you let me stay in Jizhou, you are worthy of me?" ”

"You all go out, I want to have a good talk with Patriarch Zhang.!"

Jia Xu clapped his palms and said.

"No!"

Everyone nodded and exited the mansion.

"Patriarch Zhang, please take a seat!" Jia Xu was anti-guest, sat at the head of the lobby, and said lightly: "Do you want to explain to us about the Northland Chamber of Commerce here, or let someone confess to you in the ghost pawn torture room!" ”

"You don't have to be like this, if you want to kill, you will kill, why bother to behave!"

Zhang Li's eyes were cold, and he said: "After entering Jizhou, we expected such a day!" ”

"Do you want to die so much?"

Jia Xu was not surprised by his attitude, and said very calmly: "Is Wu Guo still worth your life?" ”

"The Zhang family has today's status, it is given by the Wu State, although Zhang Li is not talented, but he is not inferior to pigs and dogs, how can he rebel!" Zhang Li said proudly.

"As far as a certain family knows, in the Northland Chamber of Commerce, it is Su Shuang who is in charge!" Jia Xu squinted, his eyes shrewd: "Are you willing to be ridden by the Su family around your neck for the rest of your life?" ”

"A certain family doesn't understand what you say!" Zhang Li's face twitched obviously, but he quickly returned to normal, and said coldly.

"Actually, you don't have much to do!"

The corners of Jia Xu's mouth outlined a playful smile: "In the hands of our ghost pawns, if you die, you will either return to the Wei State, you are dead, you are very temperamental, but the Zhang family has lost your pillar, I don't know if there is any value in the Beidi Chamber of Commerce?" ”

When Zhang Li heard this, he suddenly panicked in his heart and was a little silent.

Although the Northland Chamber of Commerce was established by the Su family and the Zhang family, Su Shuang has always been stronger than him, and in the strength of the Chamber of Commerce, the Zhang family has always been inferior to the Su family.

The Zhang family has been thrown into the Chamber of Commerce with everything, if he dies in Jizhou, then the Zhang family's influence in the Northland Chamber of Commerce will be swallowed up one day sooner or later, and when the time comes, the Zhang family will really be finished.

"Patriarch Zhang, your cooperation with us is your biggest way out now!"

Jia Xu looked at Zhang Li, who was struggling, smiled slightly, and said step by step: "Wei State now lacks talents at the merchant level, so the king attaches great importance to you and specially orders you to capture you alive, otherwise, when you enter this gate, you will not be able to see the sun tomorrow."

Moreover, as long as you are willing to take refuge in Wei, Wei can let you establish a chamber of commerce headed by the Zhang family in Jizhou, you are originally from Jizhou, will you leave Jizhou willingly? ”

Now the economic situation in Jizhou has been so eroded that the court can hardly suppress it, if you can plot against Zhang Li, you can quickly save a lot of chances for this situation. (To be continued......)
