2. Summer is like a group of flowers blooming Chapter 95 Soldiers are coming to Xinzheng
Zhang Bo is not the only one who has this idea, and many other firms who have not been able to catch up with His Excellency Pauline the day before yesterday have heard about this good material such as patterned steel, and they have also come to Baolin Pavilion today to see the situation, and after learning about many of them, they also secretly suspect that this money is a little too easy to make.
However, there are firms or individuals who have placed orders and then tested the waters in such a way from left to right, that is, more than a dozen steps, and even the deposit does not need to be taken out, and even the effort of not wanting two cups of tea is thousands of times into the account.
Many people can't help but wonder what is going on here, as if it was shipped by Baolin Pavilion, and then it was taken away by Chen's firm as soon as they fell through their hands, and they made money with just two teas, and it didn't feel like a serious business.
There are those who have a better relationship with Chen's business and have the courage to ask two sentences in the past, only to know that the boss of Baoling Pavilion, that is, Mr. Zhao Yingqi Zhao, has said first: pattern steel is just an ordinary casting material, not a thing, so each shipment has a share limit on a single channel, and the current limit on a single channel is not able to occupy forty percent of the listed supply.
Even so, people who are thoughtful and active feel that this may be a good opportunity, a good opportunity for speculation, as long as every time Po Lam Court is listed on the market, grab a certain order, then it will definitely be able to earn the difference in the hands of Chen's firm or other interested big commercial houses.
Some people also set their eyes on the material of patterned steel, and inquired about what is special about patterned steel, so that the largest steel firm in Soochow is so eager to buy this material, even at the expense of being taken advantage of by others to earn the difference.
After learning about the characteristics and excellence of patterned steel, I couldn't help but be amazed, and even more surprised after listening to the description of the onlookers at the scene of Satsu's knife selling that day.
There is such a top-notch casting material in the world, and the proud works of the masters of the copper and iron alley are defeated like chopping melons and vegetables, in this world where martial arts prevail, this material is really born to make money, and it is really strange that this thing does not make money.
It's a pity that when someone was about to place an order to buy some patterned steel, they learned that the 11,500 catties of patterned steel that had been released so far had basically been bought by Chen's Commercial Bank and Sihai Auction House.
The Chen's firm basically buys materials, and they have their own blacksmith workshops that have become industries on a large scale.
Most of the Sihai auction houses buy finished swords and weapons, or pay an extra processing fee of one and a half per catty, which can be said to be rare high in this copper and iron alley and even in the world, and Baolin Pavilion also requires that the leftovers and losses of processing are borne by Sihai Auction House.
Many people feel that this clause is a little unfair, but someone immediately pointed out that this thing is now only available to his Baolin Pavilion family, and Zhao Yingqi and Zhao Tong are about to receive the canonization of Wu Guo, and the face of the two real power and third-grade generals is not something that can be easily dealt with this little favor.
Also, there are more outrageous things in the world of Zhao Yingqi in his previous life, what kind of tea is 200,000 yuan a catty, and the technology that has been monopolized, it has always been the seller who says that he must pinch his nose to recognize what to buy a house.
However, these have nothing to do with Zhang Bo anymore, or at least they won't have much to do with it before the next time the market opens for Pauling Pavilion.
Zhang Bo returned to his Honggang Trading House with a thousand silver bills, and he still had some unreal feelings in his heart, and he couldn't help but start to recall the things he saw in the trading hall on the first floor of Baolin Pavilion, and savor it carefully.
This kind of trading method is an unprecedented experience for Zhang Bo for more than 30 years, and he always feels that there are a lot of risks in it, but after seeing the real silver ticket in his hand, these risks are blinded by the huge returns, and he begins to think about the huge benefits.
Now that the order task of Chen Guo's Hongzhou head office has been completed, and the ore and billets have been shipped to Hongzhou one after another, Zhang Bo decided to go over early to take a look at the next time Baolin Pavilion opens again, and maybe there will be some income in the account.
And you might as well carry out some small operations in your own name, after all, do you make money, who would think that you make more money.
The matter of the Xuanfu of Eastern Wu here was not listed first, and first shifted his attention to Zheng Guo, which was thousands of miles away in the south.
The prices of all kinds of steel carts and horses in Xuanfu are still high, and they are still going up, and the most direct reason is that Zheng Guo is here.
Zheng Guoguo is the capital of Xinzheng, and the 80,000 troops of Yue have converged to the city of Xinzheng.
Zheng Guojun loves the people like a son and implements benevolent government, and the subjects of Zheng Guo love this emperor very much, at this time Zheng Guo is facing a catastrophe, and Zheng Guo's army and people are fighting together with his majesty to resist.
However, the soldiers of the Yue country are strong, and the masters in the army are like clouds, and the two armies of Zheng and Yue have just been fighting for only half a month, and they have been beaten all the way to the national capital Xinzheng, and most of the land has fallen.
In the more than 120 years of Zheng Guoguo, although this is not the first time that such a large-scale war has occurred, it is the first time that it has faced such a crisis, and the entire Zheng State is in danger, and its destruction is only in an instant.
Zheng Guojun has sent more than a dozen waves of envoys to various countries to ask for help, the farthest has even reached Shuo and Chu, and the prince and princess of his own family have also entrusted one of the only two head armor masters in Zheng Guo to bring to Chen Guo, just hoping to leave a trace of seedlings for Zheng Guo's royal family.
Today, there happened an incident that made the military and civilian officials of Xinzheng very angry, that is, Gao Ting, the prince of Yueguo, openly provoked and insulted Empress Zheng Guo under Xinzheng City, and threatened: I have heard that Empress Zheng Guo is a first-class beauty in the world, if Zheng Guo hands over the queen to Lingzhou as a maid, half of Zheng Guo can be released.
Zheng Guo's commander general, the head of the master, the second grade of Shangshu left servant shooting, the prince of the young master, the governor of the capital, the general of the town army, the Duke of Lingguo, the pillar of the country Hongtao, known as "the flame of rage", in the city to listen to the Yue State Prince Gao Ting's insulting words, angry, regardless of the persuasion of his subordinates and soldiers, jumped down from the six-zhang high city wall, single-handedly rushed to the Yue army, vowing to cut Gao Ting under the horse.
However, he was defeated by the two masters of the army led by Yue Guo and returned with serious injuries.
The situation in Xinzheng took a sharp turn for the worse, and Gao Ting took the opportunity to give the order to attack the city.
The Vietnamese army of 50,000 troops attacked the city on three sides, and the blood flowed into a river for a while, and the corpses were all over the field, Xinzheng was attacked by the Vietnamese army eight times in one day.
Zheng Guo's head master Hong Tao with injuries is still in the city to supervise the battle command to kill the enemy, one day down, straight cut the blade of the sword, the gun halberd broken, under the bloody battle, back to the house is still tired, fainted, the emperor personally for its wide clothes untied and scrubbed the blood stains on the body, the queen led the women in the city to transport dry food and wine for the soldiers, for a while there is a kind of sadness that the country is about to break.
However, it was said that most of the envoys sent by Zheng Guo were intercepted and killed by the Yue army, and of course, many of them desperately rushed out of the encirclement and went straight to the five countries of Wu, Chu, Chen, Wei, and Shuo, without stopping and sleeping at night.
Because of the interception of the Yue State, Chen Guo, who was farther away from Zheng Guo than Wei State, was the first to receive the news, and the Yue army did not know what it meant, but it was not very strict about Zheng Guo's path to Chen Guo, and it seemed that Chen Guo was intent on receiving the news first, which allowed the prince and princess who were escorted by Zheng Guo's head armor master Lin Ankang and Shangshu Jiang Qi of the Ministry of Rites to Chen Guo.
Hongzhou was therefore the first to receive the news, and the goods such as steel, wagons, horses, and grain were the first to receive feedback, and the prices were rising, and as several other countries received the news one after another, they also followed, and for a time the south fell into the clouds of war.
Moreover, the war of the Yue State has shocked the world, waving 80,000 troops, and half of the Zheng State has gone down half of the country, which simply makes the three kingdoms of Wu, Chen, and Wei also worried, but the higher Chu State is not very anxious, on the contrary, it is still assessing whether it can take advantage of the time when South Vietnam is focused on the war in the south, wave its army to Lingzhou, incorporate the source of the Lanjiang River into the territory of Western Chu, and solve the problem of water transportation in Western Chu.
Wu, Chen, Wei three countries at this time also urgently sent envoys to each other to discuss the next problem, the Yue country has always been inconspicuous, this war made the three countries directly bordering the Yue country very anxious, especially the Wu State, the Lan River on which the Wu State business depends on the maintenance of the Yue State originated from the Yue State, and the Yue State Navy has always been not bad, if the Zheng State that restrained the hands and feet of the Yue State was destroyed, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not go down the river to Xuanfu.
The various actions of the father and son of the monarch of the Yue Kingdom in this war also made the people of the world see the cruelty and perversity of Gao Jun's father and son, and their actions were completely disorderly, and they did not care about human morality and benevolence at all, which really could not be dealt with with common sense.
However, the father and son also control one of the largest countries in the south, and such an unstable factor is nearby, which makes several surrounding countries very uneasy.
Zhao Yingqi received the news yesterday, that is, on February 16.
But looking at this time, Zhao Yingqi also felt that the father and son of Gao Jun, the monarch of the Yue Kingdom, were not good emperors, and it was a good time to sow seeds during the rainy season.
But Zhao Yingqi didn't have any good ways at this time, everything had to wait until he had practical means and strength to do it.
However, taking advantage of this battle to seek benefits for himself is Zhao Yingqi's biggest thing at present.
First of all, the fame of pattern steel will be beaten out, and the pattern steel will be further pushed to the world.
As soon as he got the news, Zhao Yingqi took out the Luoyu Treasure Knife and asked Zuo Jin to send a well-known light master on the rivers and lakes to Zheng Guo all the way south.
At the same time, let the pattern steel shine in this war.
