Yuandu, the prosperity is still the same, but under this prosperity, there is an invisible undercurrent.

Three days, in just three days, the crane grass on the surface of the Yuan City was constantly purchased and even snapped up, the crane grass is just a relatively common herb, practical, but its value is not high, but with this wave of rush buying, some shrewd businessmen saw the business opportunity, began to stop selling the crane grass, and began to hoard a large number of things, scarce is expensive.

In the east of the city, in the manor where Li Xuan is located.

"Sect Master, the price of the Crane Grass in the city is constantly rising, it was originally only ten cents a tael, but now it has risen to a price of one or two silver, our funds have begun to be insufficient, do you want to mobilize a batch of funds from other branches?" Or that small courtyard, at this moment Yang Xiao stood on the left side of Li Xuan, bowed down and asked.

"Not necessarily." Li Xuan shook his head and thought for a while: "Let the eight major stores start selling the crane grass at the same time, don't be too anxious at first, increase the amount one by one, and reduce the price by a few points every time you sell, and when other merchants see that something is wrong and start to sell, throw the remaining crane grass at the purchase price at one time!" At the same time, let people use this comparison to start buying brass in large quantities, and raise the price of brass for me! ”

"Yes!" Yang Xiao nodded, faintly, as if he had caught a trace of Li Xuan's thoughts, a flash of amazement flashed in his eyes, and he was about to leave.

"Wait." Li Xuan stopped Yang Xiao and said: "This time the crane grass has fallen sharply, there must be many merchants who have lost their money, and they have taken the opportunity to buy and sell a few shops and brass through these shops, and they have been operated by our shop, which is easy to attract attention and too risky." ”

"Subordinates obey." Yang Xiao nodded, and at this moment, he no longer had any doubts about the plan Li Xuan said, turned around and strode away.

"Childe, drink tea." Xiao Zhao came to Li Xuan's side, gently put down a cup of tea, and said softly.

"Xiao Zhao, it's just right to come, my son suddenly has a big chess temperament, come, how about playing chess with my son?" Li Xuan smiled slightly, beckoned to Xiao Zhao, ancient life was a little monotonous, most of the time when he was idle was idle, under boredom, Li Xuan could only find something that echoed his identity to pass the time, and at the same time cultivate his sentiments, Xiao Zhao is an expert in this regard, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, almost everything is the same, I don't know, I look more like a daughter than Wu Qingying.

"Don't, Childe's chess skills are too poor, Xiao Zhao doesn't want to hit Childe." Xiao Zhao smiled mischievously and shook his head.

"Bold, I dare not listen to the orders of the sect master, do you want to taste the power of the canons! Qing Ying, take down this little girl who doesn't know how to be humble for me! ”

"Sister Qingying, don't ......"

Li Xuan hid in his small courtyard and had fun with the two beautiful maids, but in the capital city, because of Li Xuan's decision, a storm without gunpowder was set off, and the wealthy merchants in the capital city also challenged the limit of psychological tolerance in this huge price fluctuation.

Crane grass does not know when the price of crane grass began to fall, at the beginning, the range was very small, most merchants did not pay attention, still desperately hoarding crane grass, but suddenly someone in the market began to sell crane grass, or attracted the attention of some alert businessmen, but the range is too small, plus because the price of crane grass has been rising during this time, the benefits brought to them are too great, for a while can not give up, only a few merchants followed to sell some.

But the price of crane grass is still falling, and the amplitude is getting bigger and bigger, many businessmen began to sit still, want to sell, after all, the current price, they can also make a lot of money, but at this moment, as if it was a colleague appointment, several century-old brands in the city at the same time will be in their hands of the crane grass at a price two percent higher than the original market price suddenly thrown, so far, unstoppable, the price of crane grass plummeted all the way, no one can suppress this trend, the price of crane grass even fell to half of the original, no one cared.

A big ups and downs of the crane grass, some people see a good harvest and make a lot of extra money, but more is the high family tun goods, low price rush sales, loss, and it is a big loss, and even many shops through this matter, the loss of blood, not only that, but even the reputation accumulated over the years have been lost, and some simply close their doors.

Originally thought it was just an accident, but with the plunge of the crane grass, another thing has become sought-after, brass, with the advancement of the times, the past of the Bronze Age, bronze has gradually faded out of the battlefield, but because of its exquisite appearance, strong plasticity, with the continuous development of the handicraft industry, gradually entered the ranks of handicrafts, but these things are only suitable for some aristocratic families.

With the invasion of the Mongols, bronze vessels once became a symbol of comparison among Mongolian nobles, but as Mongolia sat firmly in the Central Plains, this trend gradually faded, the price of brass gradually fell, and brass products began to gradually flow into the people, but in the past few days, some people began to buy brass in large quantities, and as the price of brass continues to rise, more and more people have begun to join the ranks, and even many people with spare money have begun to join the ranks.

After all, it is the imperial capital of a dynasty, even if there is no power of ordinary people, the family can come up with some spare money, not to mention some wealthy businessmen, seeing that the price of brass has climbed to ten times the original, and it is still rising, and it is crazy to continue to buy brass from everywhere, and there are even more crazy people who have lost their wealth and want to make huge profits from it.

However, when the purchase of brass has become a trend, suddenly someone began to sell brass, different from the sale of crane grass so tepid, this time it fell more ruthlessly, almost in a day, the price of brass plummeted all the way to half of the original, and it is still falling.

This time is more ruthless than the last time, not only the merchants in the city, but even a large number of ordinary people in the capital city, are in this time between the rise in brass prices, accompanied by the loss of money, many smaller shops have closed their doors, even the larger shops are also a lot of people, and a large number of people have become beggars directly, according to the information collected by the disciples of the Ming Sect, in just one day, there are a large number of beggars in the capital city.

"Yang Zuo, how is it? Do the disciples in the sect still oppose it? Li Xuan lay leisurely on the recliner in the manor, looked at Yang Xiao with admiration, and asked with a smile.

"The sect leader is far-sighted, and his subordinates can't do it, and now the disciples of the various altars have reached the level of worship, and now, even if the sect leader says that he wants to attack the Yuandu, I'm afraid they won't frown." Yang Xiao said admiringly.

"Hehe, attacking Yuandu, now, it's not the time, although the market is turbulent, but the guards of Yuandu City have not been affected, now attacking Yuandu, it's impossible, even if it is captured, the loss to us is too great." Li Xuan shook his head and said.

"Oh?" A flash of surprise flashed in Yang Xiao's eyes, and he looked at Li Xuan incredulously and said, "Sect Master really has this plan?" ”

"If the time comes, why not? In such a prosperous city, the Mongols have been sitting for almost a hundred years, and it is time to move places. Li Xuan nodded.

"However, the forces of our sect are mainly distributed in the south, although there are many sub-altars in the north, but they are not the main sphere of influence of our sect, even if we capture this capital of Yuan, I am afraid it will be difficult to hold it." Yang Xiao said incredibly.

"There's no need to keep it, and I haven't thought about it." Li Xuan shook his head with a smile and said: "The symbolic significance of this Yuan capital is greater than the strategic significance, for us, as long as we can drive the Mongolian court out of this city, it will be a victory, not only can greatly enhance the prestige of my Ming Sect, but also can severely attack the prestige of the Mongolian royal family, an emperor who can't even defend his own capital, how can he deter the ministers?" It doesn't matter whether it will be occupied by the rebels or retaken by the Mongols. ”

"It's just that the total number of people in our vicinity is only a few thousand, and if you want to break through the Yuan Capital, I'm afraid it will be ......" Yang Xiao shook his head, still a little disagreeing with Li Xuan's crazy idea.

"Who says there are only a few thousand?" Li Xuan turned his head and looked at Yang Xiao with a smile.

"Uh......" Yang Xiao even though he was conceited and civilian, he completely lost his assertiveness at this moment, and looked at Li Xuan blankly, as the left envoy of the Ming Sect, he had even held the position of acting sect leader, and he knew the distribution of the Ming Sect's upper and lower forces, there were indeed only a few thousand sect members here, and many of them were not combatants, even if the six major factions were added, they might not be able to make up the number of 10,000, could it be that the sect leader had other helpers?

"Aren't the people of this city our helpers?" Li Xuan said with a smile.

"This ...... The people of the Yuan capital have been under the rule of Mongolia for a long time, and the Yuan capital is the capital of Mongolia, and the people in the city have lived here for a long time, so I am afraid it will be difficult for them to rebel. Yang Xiao shook his head, deny it.

"Then force them to rebel, from now on, you can start to sell the yellow scarf in your hand, presumably now in this Yuan Capital City, many of those Mongolian nobles have been involved, this time, I want to let them lose all their money, let the real industry of this Yuan Capital City wither, and then you can carry out the next plan, let the people of this city become bandits, and let the Mongolian court take care of itself!" Li Xuan stood up, his eyes flashing with a scorching light.

"Yes, Yang Xiao takes the order!" Yang Xiao suddenly felt a long-lost blood boiling, answered loudly, and left quickly.
