Wang Chonggu narrowed his eyes and asked leisurely: "Okay, the danger of the ticket, is it really so serious?" ”

"Don't dare to deceive Mr., this is also the disciple's experience in the past month, I'm afraid that the people behind the tickets will come to close the net." Tang Yi said firmly.

"I heard that tickets have also appeared for more than ten years, and there are so many powerful families behind them, where will they collapse easily, you kid don't be alarmist and coax the old man."

Tang Yi hurriedly raised his right arm, clenched his fist, and swore to the sky.

"Sir, the disciple will never dare to deceive you."

You have deceived the old man just now, Wang Chonggu was obviously skeptical of this, and asked, "What basis do you have?" ”

"Sir, the so-called tickets are meant to test people's vision, and if you judge the future accurately, you will be rewarded handsomely, which is a very good thing. However, because the officials of the imperial court did not understand finance, did not understand business, and did not regulate and prevent it in advance, the result was that the ticket market was like a wild horse that had escaped from control. ”

Tang Yi did his homework and talked eloquently: "From grain, silk, to snacks, meat, all the necessities of ordinary people's lives have produced coupons, and more and more people have joined them, first chasing the rise and fall, earning the difference, and then buying and selling, and in recent years, it has become even crazier, and the major wealthy businessmen have joined it." They are powerful and can sway the market and manipulate prices. From the moment they intervened, the ticket completely changed its taste. From the initial investment, to speculation, to the tool of collecting money, the ticket has become a super scam to loot the gold and silver in the hands of the people of Suzhou. ”

Wang Chonggu gasped and fell into deep thought, he had been observing, but he never thought that the problem would be so serious, and he still didn't believe it.

"Well, the old man sees the prosperity of Suzhou's commerce. The common people are very accepting of tickets, and the shops of all sizes are full of guests, and there is no sign of crisis at all, but it is not as terrible as you say! ”

"Definitely!"

Tang Yi said categorically: "Sir, tickets are based on the judgment of the future, how can prices keep rising and not falling?" However, prices in Suzhou have rarely fallen in recent years. Even if it falls briefly, it quickly rises back. The disciples investigated the prices of 18 kinds of necessities in Suzhou, including rice, flour, soybean oil, salt, tea, vegetables, fruits, cloth, etc., among which the price of rice was about doubled, fruits and vegetables were as much as three times, and as much as 50% or 60% of cloth. ”

As he spoke, Tang Yi sent a statistical chart to Wang Chonggu and unfolded it to take a look. Let Wang Chonggu applaud. There is no superfluous text, just a dozen line charts that clearly depict the trend of rising prices. Wang Chonggu was keenly aware of the value of the chart, and couldn't help but say, "Okay, you made it out, right?" ”

"Yes."

"Well, another day, the old man will send a few people over to learn from you, you won't cherish yourself, right?" Wang Chong Guming smiled like a wolf grandmother. Full of robbery while the fire is fired.

Tang Yi smiled lightly: "There is no need for some small things to be ordered by Mr. ”

Wang Chonggu nodded with satisfaction and focused on prices again. couldn't help frowning, and asked: "Okay, the old man looks at it, many things have more than doubled, according to reason, the people should complain." Why can't you hear any complaints? ”

"That's exactly the illusion that comes with a ticket." Tang Yi said solemnly: "The rise in prices has brought about a faster rise in the price of tickets, and the wealth in the hands of the people seems to be expanding, and they are not sensitive to prices." But! Prices in Suzhou have far exceeded those in other places, and this kind of deformed prices cannot be maintained for a long time. In addition, the Japanese invaded frequently. Variables are rife, and in the event of a prolonged war, supplies are insufficient, and prices skyrocket. When they find that the store can't get something, panic will spread like a plague, tens of millions of tickets will become waste paper overnight, thousands of shops will close down, hundreds of people will go bankrupt, desperate, or commit suicide by hanging beams, or take risks. People say that there is heaven and there is Suzhou and Hangzhou, but I am afraid that at that time, Suzhou will be hell on earth! ”

"Say no more!"

Wang Chonggu suddenly broke off, his face was pale, and delicate sweat appeared on his forehead. In the face of thousands of troops, Wang Chonggu was not afraid at all, but at this moment he was really afraid, from the bottom of his heart.

Tang Yi's analysis was reasonable, and he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

Before the government test, there were Japanese robbers who entered the territory of Suzhou, but fortunately he took precautions in time, so that he did not cause a catastrophe, and at that time, the tickets of Suzhou City were turbulent for several days, but fortunately, the government test was held, which diverted the attention of the big guys.

Thinking about it now, Wang Chonggu was a little afraid. If the Japanese invaders had been killed in Suzhou at that time, I am afraid that a catastrophe would have come long ago!

Not only will his career be interrupted, but the ticket number of Jin Shang will also suffer a great loss.

"Damn, really hateful!" Wang Chonggu scolded angrily: "Little brute, you dare not tell the old man, and let the old man come out, you can't kill it!" ”

Tang Yi shrank his neck, could it be that what about me? Peeking at Wang Chonggu's embarrassed expression, Tang Yi instantly understood that there was another "little brute" who said that Wang Chonggu was looking for him, and sure enough, he guessed correctly, but the old man is not so easy to be a peacemaker, and the master must pull you into the water.

Wang Chonggu noticed that Tang Yi's expression was strange, but when he saw through the gaffe just now, he had no choice but to say truthfully: "Virtuous nephew, the old man didn't betray you, but he guessed that no one else had this ability except you." ”

"Hehehe, Mr. doesn't need to blame himself, since he is a master and apprentice, if Mr. has something, the disciple will obey him, no matter what happens, the disciple will be on your side."

"Ordering you to be the head of the case is the wisest decision of the old man!" Wang Chonggu laughed with relief, halfway through the laughter, he suddenly held back, and couldn't help but scold: "Stinky boy, put a trap on the old man, right?" It's clear that you came to beg me, how did you become a helping old man! ”

……

Although Wang Chonggu was angry, he had to rely on Tang Yi's wisdom, and the two of them chatted until late at night, discussing tickets and Suzhou.

Tang Yi tried to persuade Wang Chonggu to let him take action to solve the hidden dangers in Suzhou, but Wang Chonggu did not have such a high consciousness, just as he once asked Tang Yi, the interests of Jin merchants should be maintained, and the second is not to have an accident during his tenure. As for setting off the battle between the Jin merchants and the big families in the south of the Yangtze River, they are not interested at all.

At the end, both sides showed their cards.

Wang Chonggu can come forward and oppress the other party to maintain the price of tea at a slightly higher position than in previous years, and Huang Jin and Tang Yi can retreat calmly and make a fortune. This is also Wang Chonggu's punishment for the big households, so that they will make less trouble.

After talking, Tang Yi took the carriage and returned to the Humble Administrator's Garden - next door, and entered the study, where Xu Wei was anxiously waiting.

"Brother Wen didn't sleep?"

"Sleep, how big does your heart have to be to fall asleep." Xu Wei pulled Tang Yi to sit opposite, and hurriedly asked, "Tell me quickly, did you take down Wang Chonggu?"

Tang Yi smiled bitterly: "It's good if I didn't put myself in, Wang Chonggu is so shrewd, where is he willing to wade into troubled waters." ”

"Ahh

Xu Wei exclaimed, "Then what are you talking about?" ”

"Let's retreat, Wang Chonggu promised to persuade the other party that Huang Gonggong's investment can be earned, and the tea we hoarded will also be sold. I calculated, we can earn about 500,000 taels in this battle, and then it will disappear, and the world will be peaceful! ”

Xu Wei's eyes widened, and in the past, 500,000 taels was an amount he couldn't even think of.

But now he was disappointed, disappointed!

disappointed in Tang Yi, disappointed in Wang Chonggu, and disappointed in officialdom......

"Well, you forgot what you said the other day? The city of Suzhou is already in danger, and the people may be squeezed dry. gave you 500,000 taels, and forgot the people in the world, and forgot the unity of knowledge and action? You ask yourself, are you worthy of Yang Minggong's teachings? ”

In the face of Xu Wei's fierce questioning, Tang Yi did not argue, but took the teapot, there was no water, grabbed the wine pot again, it was full, he poured Xu Wei a glass of wine, and Xu Wei pushed it aside.

Tang Yi had no choice but to pour himself a drink, and after three glasses of wine, Tang Yi's face was dyed a layer of ruddy.

"Hahaha, Senior Brother Wen, you also underestimate me Tang Xingzhi too much!"

Syllable!

Tang Yi slammed the table case, startling Xu Wei.

"The unity of knowledge and action, the unity of knowledge and action, has Yang Minggong done these four words? No, morality, meritorious service, speech, in all fairness, Yang Minggong's merits are worse than Yang Shiqi and Yu Qian. ”

As a disciple of Xinxue, Xu Wei didn't like to listen to it very much, but he couldn't deny Tang Yi's words, so he could only let him slander Master Zu.

"What is the hardest thing in the world, the hardest thing to do! I wanted to fight with the big families in Suzhou, but as soon as Wang Chonggu showed up, I had to retreat, why? The reason is very simple, in the face of absolute strength, any tricks are useless, unfortunately, once the Jin merchants and the southeast big households join forces, they have this absolute strength! Therefore, I must grovel and obtain Wang Chonggu's understanding. ”t

Tang Yi grabbed the wine jug violently, took a big sip, and laughed wildly at the sky.

"When the Jin merchants occupied the sky, it was like the surging Cao Wei, and the big families in Suzhou occupied the geographical advantage, and the soldiers were strong and strong, just like Sun Quan of Eastern Wu. Compared with them, I, Tang Yi, are Liu Bei, who is running around, and he is outnumbered and has no skills to return to the sky. ”

Tang Yi looked up to the sky and sighed, standing there alone, drinking the bitter wine alone.

Xu Wei suddenly felt sore and distressed, he felt that he was a bastard and cruel, why put all the burden on Tang Yi's shoulders, he had already done a lot of ruthlessness, why did he still force him!

I Xu Wei still thinks that he is a friend and a brother, but how can there be any reason to blindly persecute his brother!

"Okay, I, I want to say that Liu Bei is not bad, in the battle of Chibi, Liu Bei is the biggest winner!" Xu Wei never comforted people, so he could only squeeze out such a sentence.

"That's right!"

Tang Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, and his decadent state swept away, and he became radiant.

"Brother Wen, the six pure roots are the way, and the original regression is forward. I withdrew, the contradiction between the Jin merchants and the big households in Suzhou will be highlighted, they are killed to the death, I have the opportunity to profit from it, take advantage of the force, the Jin merchants do not interfere, I really don't know how to solve the ticket, they are coming, everything is easy to do! ”

Xu Wei slapped the case excitedly and laughed: "I knew that your kid would not let me down!" That's right...... Wang Chonggu is so cunning, will he take the bait? ”

"Hahaha, can you still stand with him?" Tang Yi smiled proudly. (To be continued.) )
