Chapter 181: Chaos and Take4
Miri's question made Li Yan fall silent, and he thought for a while before replying: "With the current situation, it is too unfavorable for us to tear our faces with the Meng family. Beiqi will not only lose the Meng family's long-term big business, but also possibly ...... Attract the Xuanjia Army. ”
Xuanjia Army, the invincible Xiong Zhen army of Zeguo!
Miri grinded his back molars before squeezing out four words: "You go and do it......"
Li Yan took the order and left, and in a place that Miri couldn't see, he hooked the corners of his mouth, and a triumphant smile crossed the corners of his eyes.
An even more violent crisis is coming!
The Meng family replied with a message, it was Meng Bin himself who wrote a reply, in addition to promising a grace period of one month, but also stating that the origin of the sand boat had been investigated, which was owned by the Wang family who came to Zeguo to sell rice and brocade in the month. And on the sand boat is none other than Wang Mian, the fifth young master of the Wang family.
In this way, it was confirmed that the Jinling royal family and Midu had joined forces to make ghosts, and Song Huan Chu and his entourage, who disguised themselves as Chu Haoze, were considered accomplices, and were closely monitored and grounded by Miri, as for the Meng family, whether they were involved or not, they still had to maintain a superficial peace.
At this point, the Nordic could no longer add more enemies.
No matter how fast Beiqi's horses are, it is impossible to catch up with the sand boats that go downwind, not to mention, they have to cross the border of Daiguo and sneak into Donglu! Therefore, it is impossible to recover the leather goods on the sand boat.
The amount of this order traded with the Meng family is too large, almost all the inventory in Li Yan's hands has been emptied, and it is difficult to collect the number of goods on the order within half a month! What's more, there is still a lot of demand for high-quality leather goods on the list.
But there is no way, no matter how difficult it is, you have to try your best, otherwise, what you will lose to the Meng family is a huge fortune.
There is little inventory of leather goods in Li Yan's hands, but there are still some in the hands of the Beiqi people, and every household will keep some for their own use, or go to the market to trade.
It's a pity that rumors have spread throughout the Beiqi royal court, and under the hype of Midu, everyone knows what Li Yanzhong has done. Those who are not of my race will have different hearts, and this is especially evident at this moment.
In addition, Midu successfully made a deal with the Wang brothers and sisters, and the gold and silver were sent to the hands of the Beiqi Erlang, and Midu's prestige was even greater, and it was close to Khan Miri.
In this case, it is impossible for Li Yan to move the sons of Beiqi to hand over the leather goods, or to go hunting in the bitter cold, and it must be Khan Miri who must come forward. But even if Miri comes forward, the arrogant Midu may not give him a lot of face - who makes this great Khan of Beiqi still look towards Li Yan!
Miri was in an embarrassing situation where it was difficult to ride a tiger, the gold mine in Danzhou was not negotiated, and the business in his hand went wrong, but his brother Midu, who should have been with him with the same heart and mind, insisted on going his own way, which really annoyed him, and after leaving enough manpower for Li Yan, he took the remaining Beiqi Erlang back to the Beiqi royal court.
Why not ransack the gold mines in Danzhou?
Just these few people?
Even if the Danzhou army is chicken, the border troops transferred from Suizhou and Youzhou are not vegetarians! Just a few of them, before they have grabbed a few pieces of gold, they have to whine!
What's more, the amount of gold dug up by these gold diggers all day is not much, scattered and scattered, it is not worth the risk for him to take this risk, and it is the most important thing to go back and clean up the self-inflated Midu!
It's not going well on Miri's side, and so is Li Yan's side.
Although Hu Shi is Li Yan's territory, everyone who comes to Hu Shi to do business is here for profit. Coupled with the rumors spread by Midu, except for Miri's subordinates and the Hu people with Central Plains ancestry who still listen to him, most of the Beiqi people are already hostile to him.
On the other hand, Steward Wang's stall, because the price was raised, and there was the support of the people of Midu, many people gradually came to the market to trade in exchange for gold and silver. This evaporation and rise have increased the difficulty for Li Yan to complete the Meng family's order.
So what's the solution?
Li Yan could only grit his teeth and offer a higher price than the Wang family. After all, if you can't complete the list, you will lose more gold and silver.
So, Steward Wang and Li Yan's stalls started a ring at both ends of Hu Yan, and every day, the price of leather goods would rise.
Although in most cases, the price offered by Li Yan will faintly overwhelm the Wang family, but with the prestige of Miri, many people still tend to be obscene and sell the leather market to the Wang housekeeper.
As a result, in addition to the gold rush in Danzhou City, there was also a leather boom. Inside and outside Danzhou, whether it is the Daiguo people, the Beiqi people, or other Central Plains people or Hu people, they are either crazy gold diggers or crazy hunting.
The amount of gold and silver flowing out of the shops in the two places of Steward Wang and Li Yan every day is staggering. Some people even estimate that there are more gold mines than the daily Mingsha Mountain.
Lin Ruo, who is sitting behind the scenes, seems to be idle every day, but in fact, he is indeed idle - just verify the account books and goods brought back by Steward Wang every day.
Murong Chong, who was by Lin Ruo's side, looked at the gold and silver in the mansion every day, and sighed.
In this battle without gunpowder, no one is willing to admit defeat first.
But outside of such a contest, some people's minds moved.
Ji Junyang silently lit wax for those people in his heart - without him, from childhood to adulthood, whoever annoyed Lin Ruo or Li Yan would have extremely tragic consequences, not to mention that this time the two of them joined forces, oh no, there is also a mysterious Meng Jiugongzi. In such a situation, there is still the courage to rush to death, that is definitely a real warrior!
Most of the one-month grace period for Meng Bin has passed, and both Li Yan and the Wang family have raised the price of leather goods by 60% higher than Hu Yan's original price, but the quantity of leather goods received by Li Yan is still far from the Meng family's order.
Some people are waiting, expecting the price to rise a little more and then sell the leather goods in their hands; Some people are annoyed and regret that they have gone to market early and have lost a lot of money.
But after such a price continued to stalemate for three days, someone finally couldn't bear it, and Li Yan received some sporadically, but it was still a drop in the bucket. What's more, the recovered fur has too many defective products, and it can't even be filled.
In a corner of Hu Shi, Xu Ran looked at the two shops at both ends of Hu Shi, and sighed.
The Beiqi men around him were a little helpless about his situation: this young man, who was originally very favored by Shao Gang, a subordinate deployed in Lidu, was very clever and proficient in Beiqi and Daiguo's official dialect, so he could be regarded as a person from the Lidu deployment; However, when the Wang family first arrived in Hushi, he accepted the benefits of others and helped pull a lot of business, and now, the Wang family and Midu have deployed to join forces. Xu Ran's embarrassing situation can be imagined.
The Beiqi man has been in the mess for many years, and he is quite familiar with Xu Ran, and he was trying to comfort Xu Ran for a few words, but he didn't want Xu Ran to mutter: "These days, the price of the fur collected by the Wang family is lower than the price of the Li Du deployment, if the Wang family takes the opportunity to sell the fur to the Li Du deployment, it can still make a profit......
