"Brother Wen, I have long said that the abnormal development of Suzhou tickets, the virtual economy deviates from reality, and the big households secretly manipulate it, which is already full of disadvantages and internal and external difficulties. Even if I take out more food, I can keep the momentum down. As long as this group of people is still there, the chaos will not disappear, Suzhou is not good, there is Hangzhou, Songjiang, Yangzhou, there are too many places for them to start. ”

"Father Qing is not dead!" Xu Wei gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, do you want to annihilate them all in one fell swoop?" ”

Tang Yi nodded: "I will bring down other prices, force these people to concentrate their financial resources on food, form a situation of encirclement and annihilation, as long as the time comes, squeeze out all their financial resources, force them to flee to death, and completely return Suzhou to the people, Brother Wen, what do you think of the younger brother's method?" ”

Xu Wei finally suddenly realized, he had to be surprised by Tang Yi's generosity, this guy not only wants to take the chestnut in the fire, but also wants to swallow the giant elephant, if he really defeats those people, maybe the people of Suzhou ...... No, Xu Wei's face suddenly changed, and he looked at Tang Yi with a strange face, his expression was mixed with a trace of pain and struggle, and he wanted to stop talking.

"Brother Wen, between you and me, do you still need to hide it, if you have any suspicions, just say it."

Xu Wei sighed, "I can't hide anything, I just have a little doubt, if you really win, just replace it, and with your means and intelligence, if you want to control the prices in Suzhou and even Jiangnan, who can be your opponent?" Speaking of this, Xu Wei was very guilty, Tang Yi not only woke him up and reunited his mother and son, but also had no reservations about him, citing him as a confidant, he was sorry for his friends when he spoke like this, but the lesson in front of him told him. One, or a small group of people, whose strength is too large to be controlled, is too dangerous.

Xu Wei shook his head vigorously and said apologetically: "Okay, it's not that I don't believe you. It's ......"

Tang Yi suddenly waved his hand and didn't let Xu Wei continue. He looked around, took a teapot and put it in front of Xu Wei.

"Brother Wen, you should know that I and the traffic bank rely on high-quality and low-cost goods to make a fortune, if you are a merchant who burns porcelain, do you want the higher the price of porcelain, the better, or is it stable and orderly?"

"This ......"

Xu Wei wants to say that whoever does business doesn't want to think about the higher the better. But when he thought about it, it wasn't necessarily the case. The price is high, and a single teapot earns more silver, but it sells less, and it is really hard to say whether the total profit will increase or decrease. And most of Tang Yi's subordinates win by volume, without huge shipments, how to make money?

In addition, the production of things requires input. Xu Wei has seen the spectacular scene of thousands of looms spinning together. Machines, labor, and factories all require a lot of investment. You need to borrow money from the transportation bank. For workshop owners, a predictable and stable source of profit is the key to keeping them afloat.

In short, the traffic line represents a long stream of water, and it is a win by quantity under the industrialized thinking, rather than a pure speculator such as Zhao Xu.

In fact, Xu Wei didn't know. In the industrial history of the Western world, prices have been stable due to the adoption of the gold standard, and the purchasing power of the pound has increased slightly in two or three hundred years. Currency inflation. Soaring prices are a product of the collapse of the Bretton Woods system. Since then, few countries have crossed the threshold of industrialization......

Having said that, letting the forces represented by the traffic line control Suzhou and Jiangnan is definitely more reliable than Zhao Xu and others. Xu Wei's heart knot was untied in an instant, and the true colors of the dog-headed military advisor returned, and he said with a hippie smile: "Okay, what are you going to do, my brother can't wait!" ”

……

Under Tang Yi's efforts, among the two white and one black, cotton cloth and coal were suppressed, although the price was fifty percent higher than usual, or even doubled, but the people could accept it.

The merchants who speculated on these materials were severely defeated, and their tickets plummeted, and some weak shops could only declare bankruptcy under the frenzied run of the common people.

The angry people chased the shopkeeper and the guys of the store, and within one day, more than 20 people were beaten to death, you must know that this is the result of Wang Chonggu's strong bullet pressure, otherwise I don't know how many people will die!

Taifeng teahouse on the street, looking out from the window on the second floor, a puddle of dark red on the ground, particularly conspicuous, just half an hour ago, a group of angry people beat the shopkeeper who wrapped briquettes in red paper and sold them as moon cakes to death, the reason is that the price of coal fell, the people rushed to take the tickets in their hands to run, the coal and charcoal stored by the shopkeeper were snatched away instantly, and then the crazy people pulled him to the street, punched and kicked, bitten with teeth, smashed with stones, and when the officials came, there was only a pile of rotten meat left on the ground, so it was not miserable.

Zhao Xu in the teahouse could see it clearly, his lips were blue, half an hour had passed, his whole body was still trembling, his eyes were full of fear, and his head was already blank.

He likes to sit in the teahouse and watch the people on the street come and go, looking down on the common people, so that his vanity is greatly satisfied, and the dark bad taste grows wildly, and in his eyes, the people are a group of ants, poor worms who can be let him play.

But at this moment, he felt that he was a small boat on the sea, and below it was a raging sea, and a gust of wind could set off a monstrous wave, which could swallow him up completely, and there were no bones left.

Fear eroded Zhao Xu's confidence, and he tried to hold his head high and kept reciting the Heart Sutra to calm his mind.

For a while, Zhao Xu was soaked with sweat before he slowly opened his eyes.

This time, he finally regained his confidence.

The next plan of action has finally been decided, he wants to push up the price of food with all his might, and he has concentrated all his financial resources on food, and the blood on the streets has taught him that when the crisis comes, the real thing is king!

He wants to be the savior, after Wang Chonggu's defeat, after the collapse of the ticket, after the complete chaos in Suzhou, he is the only person who can take out food, the only person who can clean up the mess...... At that time, Suzhou will be prostrate at his feet, and he will also copy the experience to other cities, Jiangnan is pinched in his hands, he is the emperor of the underground!

Crazy thoughts grew and spread in his heart, becoming uncontrollable, and Zhao Xu's handsome face showed a smug smile that only a wolf can have......

The prefect's yamen, the signing room.

"Okay, if it weren't for you these days, the old man really wouldn't know how to survive." Wang Chonggu sincerely sighed that from the beginning of the war to now, in less than two months, his sideburns have turned white. Compared with the real knives and guns on the battlefield, the bloody rain on the market is 10,000 times more cruel.

"Okay, it's finally time to close the net!" Wang Chonggu let out a long sigh, as if relieved, Tang Yi was suddenly startled, straightened his chest, and finally it was time to turn over the hole cards, he clenched his fists and said: "What do you have to say, sir, the disciple will go to the soup and go to the fire, and he will not give up!" ”

Wang Chonggu smiled and took a wooden box and sent it to Tang Yi.

"Well, there are 1.8 million taels of silver in it, of which 800,000 taels are the income from the sale of grain from the closing of the warehouse these days, and 1 million is borrowed by the old man from the bank. Now that a batch of grain has arrived in Yangzhou, I order you to buy it immediately with the silver and transport it to Suzhou. ”

Tang Yi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Sir, the disciple is bold, I want to ask how much this batch of grain is, and who sells it." ”

"Hehe, yes, it's not a secret, a total of 300,000 stones, it's from Shandong."

"So much food!" Tang Yi was taken aback, there are few people in Shandong, and he has to transfer grain from other places, and he will take out 300,000 stones at once, and he is not afraid of the power of Zhao Xu and others, it must be not small!

"Could it be the Confucian Mansion!" Tang Yi's mouth opened wide in horror.

Wang Chonggu looked up to the sky and smiled, "The brain is fast enough, that's right, it is the Yansheng Mansion, Zhao Xu is the head snake of the ground, and he suppressed all the big households, but there are some people they can't suppress." The old man had already asked his friends from the Hui merchants to contact the Confucian Mansion, and then the Xu family in Songjiang also promised to give out 200,000 stones, and the old man dredged Caokou, and the 150,000 stone grain that was detained last time would also be transported, and then sent to Jiangxi Huguang, and there were 300,000 stone grains one after another, adding up to almost one million stones, I don't believe that the price of grain in Suzhou can still rise to the sky! ”

Wang Chonggu said, slamming the table, he had already got inspiration from Tang Yi's operation. The previous time I asked the four major money banks to short the tickets, but with little effect. And it also occupies the precious cash flow of the bank, which simply outweighs the loss. However, this decision was made by him and several shopkeepers, and Tang Yi was not to blame.

In fact, Tang Yi has won Wang Chonggu's trust of 120,000 points by relying on his hard performance, and there is no doubt that he gave such an important matter to Tang Yi.

"Sir, please rest assured, the disciple will definitely deliver the grain in the fastest time."

……

With the silver, Tang Yi ordered two hundred soldiers from Yantietang, plus a fleet and a convoy, and hurried to Zhenjiang Mansion, galloping all the way to the famous Jinshan Temple, where there were already people waiting.

"Is Tang Gongzi here?"

"Under Tang Yi, who is Mr.?"

"Hehe, I'm just the steward of the Yansheng Mansion, and the third master is waiting inside."

Tang Yi nodded, followed the steward into Jinshan Temple, and stopped in a quiet room, coincidentally, this was the place where Xu Bangyang studied behind closed doors.

Tang Yi stepped in, and saw a fat man with a white face and beard sitting inside, looking to be in his early thirties at most, generous, with a kind smile.

Seeing Tang Yi coming in, he smiled and said, "My name is Kong Shangwen, and I am the third brother of Yan Shenggong." ”

"I've seen you, sir."

Tang Yi respectfully saluted, there was no way, all those who read were disciples of Confucius and Mencius, and when they saw the descendants of Master Zu, they couldn't help but be polite.

Kong Shangwen smiled: "I'm the person who doesn't pay attention to etiquette, don't compliment me wherever I go, of course, I don't compliment others." Do business, hurry up and talk about the deal, don't delay me visiting the Qinhuai River. ”

This one is still anxious enough, Tang Yi said with a smile: "Gong Jianchuan has already told me, six taels and one stone, the silver has been prepared, please take a look." ”

Tang Yi presented the wooden box with both hands and held it up for a while, but Kong Shangwen did not accept it, but looked at Tang Yi with a smile and said lightly: "Young man, I'm afraid this bit of silver is not enough, right?" ”

………………
