Teleport to the city and head straight to the administrative center.

Seeing that Su San was also in the administrative center with a heavy face, Yu Buzhi's heart was excited.

"Lord, Mr. Xu." Yi Feng came up to make a move.

Yu Buzhi waved his hand and asked, "Deputy City Lord Yi, what happened?" ”

"Report to the lord, someone has secretly carried out a commercial attack on us, resulting in a decrease in the revenue of the territory......"

Yi Feng is the deputy city lord of the Zhulu Territory, and he has the most resources among the three deputy city lords, not only needs to take care of the main base and the surrounding supporting subordinate territories, but also has to continue to transfuse blood to the two special territories, which can be called the great steward of the Zhulu Territory. Yi Feng is self-aware, his ability is not as good as Zhai Yan, and he is not as good as Xun Yan, and it is due to the lord's dependence that he can have today. Yi Feng thought about his heavy responsibility, did not dare to slack off for a moment, and worked extremely diligently.

After becoming the big housekeeper of the deer leader, Yi Feng felt the economic pressure for a long time and grasped the economy very tightly. In addition to paying attention to the income and expenditure of the previous day every day, he will comprehensively review the economic performance of the territory in the previous decade, find problems to solve, and seek opportunities to take advantage of them.

A few days ago, it was time to look back every decade.

In this review, Yi Feng found that the balance of income and expenditure in the territory was different: the daily income of the deer was less than expected.

Although the absolute value of income is still increasing, and there is no significant negative impact on the territory, even the official in charge of finance in the administrative center is optimistic that everything is in order, but the deputy lord of Keyi does not think so. Yi Feng is well aware of the financial and industrial situation of the territory, combined with the recent increase in the production capacity of the territory and the roughly equal situation of the territory's expenditure, the balance of income and expenditure in the past ten years should be more than the results shown on the books, and it should not be just such a performance.

Since there was a problem with the general ledger, the conscientious deputy city lord Yi immediately began to find out the detailed accounts.

After checking the detailed accounts of each industry, the crux of the problem was quickly found: the decline in the income of the textile industry.

To be precise, it is the decrease in cloth income.

Cloth is one of the specialties of the deer collar, and it is also one of the few money-making industries in the territory. Continue to investigate, found the reason for the decrease in the income of the cloth, the market price of the cloth fluctuated, the unit price fell sharply, which led to the shrinkage of the income of the cloth industry.

Yi Feng was suspicious of this.

The price of cloth has always been stable, although there have been occasional adjustments in the past, and this is the first time that such a large price fluctuation has occurred. However, the price reduction of Ebu is not unique to Ba County, the entire Yizhou is reducing the price, and Deputy City Lord Yi is helpless about it. He was unwilling to accept the decline in the profits of the pillar industries of the territory, and sent people to investigate the reasons for the price reduction of the cloth, trying to figure out whether the price reduction of the cloth was a short-term change or a long-term effect, so that the territory could come up with a countermeasure.

When the results of the investigation came out, Yi Feng broke out in a cold sweat.

It happened that Su San of the ant caravan was doing things on the side of Zhululing, and after discussing with Su San, Yi Feng realized that the matter was no longer something he could solve alone, so he sent someone to inform Yu Buzhi and Xu Shu to return to the city.

Yu Buzhi frowned slightly: "Do you think that the price reduction of the cloth is a conspiracy against us?" ”

"Yes!" Easy wind to cut the railway.

"The price reduction of cloth this time is due to the fact that the Yizhou government released the inventory of cloth accumulated over the years from the government treasury, which hit the market and caused the price to plummet. Since the Qin period, there has been a tradition of paying taxes with cloth, and the Han Dynasty has been extended. The Ban Yu tribe mainly lives in Yizhou, in addition to a small number of Ban Yu tribes in the south of Jingzhou, but it has not been a climate, so the purchase of cloth is mainly the Yizhou government. ”

"The cloth is colorful, gorgeous and unique, which is very different from the cloth woven by the Han people, and is quite popular in the Central Plains. The origin is cheap, in the past, the practice was to send the cloth to the Central Plains, Hebei and other places to sell, can earn a good return, this time in the Yizhou origin of the sale, not only contrary to the practice, but also not in line with the way of commercial operation, the motive is very suspicious. ”

Su San began to add.

"I also asked someone in the business road to investigate the matter."

"The state government presided over the sale of cloth is Wu Ziyuan of Chen Liuwu, Chen Liuwu was originally a giant businessman in Yanzhou, and Zhongshan Zhen's, Donghai Mi's, Hedong Wei's are equally famous, and the business is very big, in recent years, Wu's comprehensive fall to Liu Junlang, following Liu Junlang into Yizhou, most of the family industry has been transferred to the land of Bashu. If someone else is to operate this matter, it may be understood that there is no business disorder, but this time it is Wu Ziyuan himself who presides over it, and there is no possibility of acting indiscriminately, and this must have its purpose. The biggest impact on the price of the cloth is the deer collar, and I think that Wu Ziyuan should be coming at us! ”

Su San interprets the Yizhou Mansion fire sale incident from a commercial point of view.

The biggest victim of this incident is indeed the deer leader.

In the game, due to the huge benefits obtained by the investment in the Eren tribe, other Eren tribes are sought after by the player. Although no other player has obtained the special product technology of the people, in the game of repeated competition for market share by multiple forces, the tribes have benefited a lot, the development level of the tribes is generally good, the population has grown, and the production capacity has increased.

In other words, Ebu and Ba Xiang Qing are not exclusive to Zhulu Territory, but Zhulu Territory is the only player territory that has mastered the production technology of Ebu and Ba Xiang Qing.

It used to be.

Now it is.

According to the principle of non-dual transmission of specialty technology, in the future, the Zhulu Territory will still be the only territory with technology.

The biggest difference between the player's territory mastering specialty technology and NPC forces mastering specialty technology is that the territory can increase production by increasing relevant skilled talents, while the NPC force's production capacity depends on the size of the force.

One can be targeted to improve, the other looks at the overall development,

If we take enterprises as an example, then the territory is equivalent to the group company representing the advanced production model, and the NPC force is equivalent to the small family workshop. There is no comparison between the two, and the output and development potential are not at the same level, and the cloth produced by the deer collar is more than all the tribes combined!

This is related to the fact that the scale of the tribe is difficult to grow.

In the game, according to specific factors such as historical facts, behavioral characteristics, living environment, and combat effectiveness, the development direction, potential, and difficulty of different NPC forces are also different. are all NPC forces in the form of tribes as an example, the Qianghu tribe easily exceeds 10,000 people, and the tribe of people to 1,000 people is already very impressive. Historically, a single tribe of people who settled along mountain streams really couldn't compete with the Qianghu population who lived by water and grass.

The Qinggu tribe and the Hongshu tribe have developed rapidly for so many years, and their respective populations are about 1,000 people.

Just imagine, what would happen to a fighting nation like the Eren, which has a variety of specialties and is full of combat effectiveness, if there is no limit to population growth? This is a very real problem, related to the balance of power in the game, and if it is not handled well, it will go wrong.

Therefore, the people are very sad, no matter how they develop, the group will not grow anywhere.

But the people are also very lucky, they have specialties, they have combat power, they are chic and comfortable, and they can concentrate on being a super mercenary.

The scale of the tribe is small, and the production capacity of the tribe is not too much, compared with the barbaric growth of the deer collar, the yield gap between the two sides is very large, Su San said that the deer collar is the biggest victim, it is not an exaggeration.

Yu Buzhi nodded silently and asked, "How sure are you?" ”

Su San hesitated a little and said, "Seven points." ”

"Yuanzhi, what do you think?" Yu Buzhi looked at Xu Shu again.

"Nine points." Xu Shu said calmly.

"Reason? Liu Yan has no reason to use this method to deal with us, his opponent should be Zhao Taishou. ”

"We got too close to the Ba County Taishou Mansion, and we helped the Ba County solve the problem of goods circulation, so that the Yizhou Government's plan to blockade the Ba County failed, and it is not surprising that the Yizhou Government retaliated against us."

"On the other hand, after Liu Junlang entered Yizhou, all kinds of actions were implicitly based on Yizhou's self-reliance, Zhang Gongqi seized Hanzhong, blocked the northern part of Yizhou and Guanzhong channel, the state government did not crusade on a large scale, presumably there must be the idea of raising Kou self-respect, Yizhou cloth is inconvenient to send to other places, and it is not impossible to sell it on the spot."

"It's no secret that we have huge payroll expenses, and we can barely support it with profits from a few key industries. Wu Ziyuan saw it very accurately, and directly hit one of our money-making industries, breaking through a little, or causing the entire economy of the territory to collapse, and when we were too busy to take care of ourselves, our support for the Ba County Taishou Mansion would be weak......"

Xu Shu talked eloquently and analyzed the stakes one by one.

In the struggle between Liu Yan and Zhao Ministry, Zhulu Ling clearly stood on Zhao's side, Liu Yan was of course annoyed, but Zhulu Ling was the player's territory, and the support for Zhao was within the rules of the system. The Yizhou government's suppression of the deer collar must also be carried out within the scope of the rules, and this is the case with the sale of cloth to reduce the price.

In fact, it is one of the few means available in Yizhou.

The cloth can be used to offset taxes, the state government has inventory, and there will be a steady stream of cloth tax deductions in the future, Ba Xiangqing and [Zhang Jisan] will not have the same effect, Wu Yi chose the right target with the cloth as a breakthrough.

Yu Buzhi's face sank like water, and he said, "What do you think we should do?" ”

"It's not difficult to deal with the price reduction of the cloth alone."

Su San said: "Yizhou is cheap, but we have a caravan, so we won't sit in the city." The caravan transported the cloth to Hebei and the Central Plains to sell, although it was a little troublesome, the price was correspondingly guaranteed, even if the Yizhou government sold some inventory, it was certain that the general selling price would be the same as before. But if this turmoil is a test of the Yizhou government against us, if it fails, it will definitely be another plan, and the territory needs to be handled carefully. ”

"People are not as good as heaven!"

Yu Buzhi snorted coldly: "Wu Yi thought that suppressing the cloth would weaken us, but we didn't know that we had a hidden card that he couldn't see, and in the future, the sales of the cloth would be handed over to the caravan until the price returned to normal." As for the rest, you don't have to worry, the territory will take care of it. ”

"No!"

Su San hesitated for a moment, and then said: "When I went down to investigate, I received a rumor, and I thought it was too ridiculous, so I didn't tell Deputy City Lord Yi before. But it's a big matter, and it's better to say it after thinking about it again and again. ”

"What rumors? Let's hear about it. ”

"I heard people who are familiar with Wu Ziyuan say that the state government sold the cloth not to chase the deer, but to chase the deer, but to be an ant caravan!"

"How could it be for the ant caravan?" The fish was stunned.

"I also think it's ridiculous, the ant caravan is just a new face in the business world, although it is developing rapidly, its comprehensive influence is far less than that of large merchants. With Wu Ziyuan's status in the business world, dealing with a certain chamber of commerce is suspected of bullying people, not to mention our small caravan? Su San smiled bitterly.

Xu Shujian's eyebrows raised slightly, and asked, "Is there a reason for mentioning dealing with ants?" ”

"It is said that it is related to the presence of ant caravans during the blockade of Ba County by the state capital, which is related to the active logistics of Ba County. We were the first caravan to vigorously expand the business of Ba County against the market, and at that time, the noise was relatively large, which led to the influx of other merchants, so we were hated and retaliated by the state government. ”

"This is not true." Xu Shu said calmly, "Ants later shrank their fronts and withdrew from most of their businesses, with very few strongholds in Yizhou, and the main three goods were war horses, Baxiang Qing and grain, and did not include cloth. To say that the sale of cloth can suppress the ant caravan is simply nonsense. ”

Su San shook his head helplessly: "Exactly, so I didn't say anything before......"

Unless Wu Yi knew that the ant caravan belonged to the deer leader, it was impossible to attack the ants with cloth, and it was clearly the deer leader who might be hit. Continue to think deeply, if Wu Yi knew who the ants belonged to, he should not be naïve to think that the fire sale cloth could hit the deer leader, and the ants would have solved it by moving the goods out.

Everyone exchanged opinions, and they all believed that Wu Yi's sale of the cloth was untenable to suppress the ant caravan, and it was likely that a certain merchant who was jealous of the rapid development of the ant caravan concocted a rumor to scare the ant caravan into withdrawing from the Yizhou market.

Shopping malls are like battlefields, and this kind of trick is not uncommon.

Because of this, everyone didn't take this "rumor" seriously.

In fact, this "rumor" is true, at least from Liu Yan's point of view. Wu Yi had proposed to him to punish some merchants who helped Ba County, but Liu Yan promised to let Wu Yi punish the first evil, isn't the ant caravan the first evil? But Wu Yi's original proposal to punish the merchants was actually to cover up his true intentions, and the fight against ants was a cover, and weakening the economy of the deer collar was his real purpose!

Wu Yi didn't know the relationship between ants and Zhululing, he persuaded Liu Yan to sell the cloth, it was reported that the Zhululing was the only stopping point of the ant caravan in Yizhou, and there was a cloth trade, Liu Yan didn't know the details, so he naturally let Wu Yi do it.

It's a pity that everyone doesn't know the secret.

The caravan was busy, and Su San left soon after.

Yu Buzhi, Xu Shu, and Yi Feng continued to discuss matters behind closed doors, and they were glad that the cloth sale was almost unharmed to the Zhulu Ling, and they were lucky to get through it safely. As for whether Yizhou will continue to make moves in the future and what means it may use, these issues are too extensive to be explained in a few words, and the intelligence center needs to come up with a special report.

Because of this, the closed-door deliberations were quickly over.

Xu Shu then returned to the Hetao to make final preparations for the challenge of the Wild Horse Valley.

Yu Buzhi didn't go with him, and since he came back, there was no news from Wang Ping's side, so he simply stayed in the Zhulu Territory and paid attention to the recent developments and changes in the territory.

Open the lord's manual to check the overview, and when you see one of the columns, you can't help but exclaim.

"Huh?"

(The second update arrives, and there is.) ）
