Chapter 106: The Origin of the Iron Blood Alliance
Another few days have passed, and the price of grain in Xinzheng is still high, and if it continues like this for less than half a month, the vast majority of people in the entire capital will face food shortages.
Black and white Xuanjian spoke: "Han Fei made a bet with the Jade Tiger, betting on the rise and fall of grain prices during this time.
Although Han Fei bought several batches of grain from Wei at a high price and put them in the grain store, he was soon purchased by Jade Tiger at a high price. ”
Ye Chen nodded, it turns out that this is the case, no wonder he came to me to borrow money before.
"Do you want me to kill that guy?"
Black and white Xuanjian asked expressionlessly, he was naturally the Jade Tiger.
Ye Chen smiled: "Don't worry, there should be a result soon, Han Fei is not a reckless person, since he dares to make a bet, he has a lot of control over me." ”
The current situation is obvious, Han Fei is fighting a trade war with the Jade Tiger, compared to the war of real swords and guns, this kind of bloodless battle is actually more dangerous, and if you are not careful, you will lose everything.
In economic warfare, financial resources and intelligence are very crucial, and in both aspects, Night Cover has an absolute advantage, and on the surface it is almost invincible.
As long as the Jade Tiger invests Han Fei in the market's grain purchase, it will win the final victory.
But there is one most important point that has been overlooked, and that is the general trend.
South Korea is not the only country in the world, and the trade between the seven countries circulates with each other, and after decades of running-in, there is a relatively balanced and stable situation.
And now the Jade Tiger is too high food prices, which will undoubtedly break this balance to some extent, and in order to make up for this loophole, the market will take the initiative to tilt resources to maintain stability.
To put it simply, if there is a shortage of food in Xinzheng and other places, the grain from the rest of the countries will automatically flow into South Korea to fill this gap.
If it was Ye Chen to deal with this matter, it would be very simple.
As long as you use the token in your hand to send a message to the Confucian disciples in several surrounding countries, let them mobilize the contacts at hand, and quickly spread the matter of Xinzheng's high-priced grain collection.
Merchants seek profits, as long as those grain merchants know about this, they will immediately transport the grain in their hands on a large scale, so as to make huge profits.
Even if there is money at night, it is impossible to eat so much food, and at that time, not only will the price of food fall, but the disaster in Nanyang will also quickly subside.
Perhaps Han Fei had already thought of this, but he didn't have enough contacts in a short period of time like himself, so he could only spread the information by buying grain from Wei at a high price, so as to attract the attention of the outside world.
And if the Jade Tiger stops in time, it's fine, if it hits the end, it will definitely lose and go bankrupt.
Seeing Ye Chen say this, Hei Bai Xuanjian didn't say much, since there was an agreement before, then he would do his duty and act according to orders within this year.
Then he continued: "They invited the Iron Blood Alliance as a notarization for this bet, and if they lose, there is no possibility of reversing the tables." ”
Hearing this, Ye Chen's expression moved, he had also heard of this so-called Iron Blood Alliance but didn't know much?
"What kind of organization is the Iron Blood Alliance, and who founded it?"
Xuan Jian replied when he heard this: "I don't know much about the history of the Iron Blood Alliance, but I know that this organization was established to fight against the net.
As for the founder, it should be among the six kingdoms of Shandong, and it is likely not the handiwork of one country, but it was formed by two countries or even three or four kingdoms together. ”
When Ye Chen heard this, he also understood in his heart.
In the final analysis, this iron-blooded alliance is still a product that will appear in order to confront the Qin State, after all, the confrontation between countries is not just a fight on the battlefield, but an all-round struggle.
You must know that the strength of the Qin State is not only by virtue of the invincible Qin Ruishi, but also quite powerful in other aspects.
For example, Luo Wang is known as the most terrifying assassination organization in the Seven Kingdoms, and it is one open and one dark with the army, so as to better hit the enemy country.
Over the years, many important figures in the Six Nations have been killed by Luo Wang, and in order to deal with this situation, the Iron and Blood Alliance was born to fight Luo Wang.
This also explains why the power of the Iron Blood Alliance is so great that even many princes and nobles dare not offend, because it was originally created by several countries.
If you want to compete with the net, you must show enough deterrence.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen then asked, "What is the strength of the Iron Blood Alliance?" ”
Xuan Jian replied: "It's a little inferior to Luo Net, but the gap is not big. I've fought one of the leaders before, so it's kind of evenly matched. ”
"There's more than one leader of the Iron Alliance?"
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows slightly.
Xuan Jian nodded: "There should be more than one, but no more than three." After all, there are only a handful of powerhouses of this level in the net. ”
Hearing this, Ye Chen's heart also gave birth to some curiosity, and then asked: "After the bet between Han Fei and the Jade Tiger has a result, the people of the Iron Blood Alliance should also come forward, right?" ”
Black and white Xuanjian said: "As a notary of the gambling game, half of the gambling money will be charged as a commission. However, there is also a responsibility to ensure that the bet goes smoothly, and if the loser wants to break the contract, they will do it directly. ”
Ye Chen chuckled when he heard this: "This is quite interesting, I will also go over when the time comes, and see how this Iron Blood Alliance is." ”
Black and white Xuanjian stood aside and listened, and did not express an opinion, and then spoke: "When will the black and white double sword be returned to me?" ”
Hearing this, Ye Chen replied: "I still have those two swords, and I'll talk about them later." ”
It was not easy to get two famous swords, so it was natural to comprehend the sword intent in them to perfect the Eight Swords Qi Fei, so it was impossible to return the sword in a short period of time.
But now that Xuan Jian is already his own guard, it is indeed a little inappropriate if he doesn't even give him a weapon.
After thinking for a while, he took out two sharp swords from the spatial ring and handed them to the other party.
"Let's use this for now."
Although it was not the first time he had seen it, looking at the blade that appeared out of thin air, the black and white Xuanjian was still surprised in his heart. However, although I had doubts, I didn't ask too much.
He took the sword, waved it casually, nodded slightly, and put it in its scabbard.
Although these two weapons are not as good as their original dual swords, they are also rare weapons that can be used temporarily.
At this time, two figures walked over, it was Yingzheng and Gai Nie.
Ye Chen looked at the two of them and said, "Is there something wrong?" ”
Ying Zheng heard and said: "The widow has something to discuss with Mr. ......"
