This scene continues to happen all over Qingzhou.

Many smart people have awakened, they have sensed that something is wrong, and they have begun to throw away their inventory.

There are also some hopeful people who still transport things to Qingzhou City, and they are also gambling, betting that the families and Qingzhou government in Qingzhou City will not let this game end so soon!!

Similarly, the vast majority of people are ignorant, they are still dreaming of getting rich overnight, and they are still looking forward to selling the batch of goods they have hoarded and making a lot of money.

However, their actions were under the supervision of Zhou Zhenwen.

Qingzhou City, a courtyard.

"Some smart people have already noticed that something is wrong and have started to sell locusts, and several of the families we work with have also begun to act, and soon a trend will form, and once the trend is formed, it will be uncontrollable!!"

Xiao Si handed the latest information to "Zhou Zhenwen" and said in a low voice.

"Zhou Zhenwen" looked at the content on it and bowed slightly: "After all, it is also a family that cooperates with us, send someone to inform it, it can be regarded as a gesture of favor to them, and they need their strength in the next step." ”

"Yes." Xiao Si replied respectfully.

"The officials of the Qingzhou government have also been notified to let them start selling together tomorrow, and this game should also enter the second stage." "Zhou Zhenwen" commanded softly.

"Yes." Xiao Si knew that this was what Zhou Zhenwen meant, so naturally he would not refuse.

After Xiao Si left, the room fell silent again.

"Zhou Zhenwen" sat on a chair, with a candle lit on the table, she looked at the scroll in her hand and was silent.

At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Who?"

"Zhou Zhenwen" frowned, it's so late, who is looking for him?

"It's me."

A cold and noble female voice rang out.

It's her?

"Zhou Zhenwen's" face remained unchanged, but she muttered in her heart: It's so late, what did she come to Zhou Zhenwen for?

"Please come in." "Zhou Zhenwen" stood up and spoke.

As soon as the words fell, a shadow pushed the door in, tall, graceful, cold and beautiful, wearing blue clothes, looking noble and elegant.

"Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess." "Zhou Zhenwen" smiled slightly, "Come to Zhou late at night, but what's the matter?" ”

"Lord Zhou." The eldest princess Huaizhen looked at Zhou Zhenwen, and her lips opened lightly: "Are you planning to close the net?" ”

"Closing the net?"

"What do you mean, eldest princess?"

Zhou Zhenwen frowned slightly, and asked rhetorically with some puzzlement.

"Lord Zhou knows that if the funds of the major families, the Qingzhou government, and Lord Zhou are withdrawn at this moment, then what awaits other traders and people will be the price of locusts, and many people who live on locusts will be displaced, and many people will go bankrupt, sell their houses, sell their bodies to pay off their debts, and ......"

"Is the purpose of Lord Zhou's coming to Qingzhou to destroy Qingzhou's economy?"

The eldest princess Huaizhen looked at Zhou Zhenwen with a pair of beautiful eyes, waiting for the other party's answer.

Hearing this, Zhou Zhenwen smiled: "The economic situation is only temporary, and after the locust plague is over, everything will be restored. Isn't it? ”

"Besides, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess doesn't know that the people who can participate in the locust trade will not be ordinary farmers, they will only find locusts at most, and then sell them, but they will not hoard, they are just cash transactions, this time, I think the real farmers have made a lot of profits, and the earth overlord who hoards locusts and encroaches on the land, I'm afraid this time will suffer heavy losses!!"

"Master Zhou, do you know the truth of moving the whole body with one hair?" The eldest princess Huaizhen shook her head, "In the short term, farmers and ordinary people are indeed profitable, but the family has hurt their vitality, the merchants have hurt their vitality, the landlords have hurt their vitality, and the general environment is poor, can ordinary people's lives be good?" ”

"Take it from the people, use it for the people. When they are sad, they will do something to the poor, so what difference is there between me and Beren not killing him, but he dies because of me? ”

"Your Royal Highness, Eldest Princess, you are wrong." Zhou Zhenwen said in a deep voice: "They did it to the people, it can only show that they are crazy and unscrupulous, they are extremely vicious, and I do it to them, which also shows that I am not a good person." ”

"But it is not fair to me that I am not to be blamed for the harm to the people because I have done it to them, and because I have done it to the people."

"Besides, in this game, everyone is a participant, it's just who withdraws first."

"If the family withdraws today and traps me and the Qingzhou government, will Her Royal Highness the eldest princess go to other families to say this?"

"Can't because I'm the winner, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess come to me to settle accounts, right?"

"There is no such thing in the world."

After thinking for a while, the eldest princess Huaizhen sighed: "Hey! I was wrong! Lord Zhou, you're right, you can't be blamed for this matter! ”

"Although you are the cause, the consequences that will be caused in the future should not be counted on your head."

"But how innocent are the people......"

The eldest princess Huaizhen sighed faintly, and it was not difficult to guess with her wisdom that after this time, the family, the merchants, and the landlords suffered heavy losses, and they did not dare to do anything to Zhou Zhenwen and her, nor did they dare to do anything to the officials of the Qingzhou government, and in the end, it was those ordinary people who had no power and no power to suffer.

In the end, it was the people who suffered.

"Of course the people are innocent, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess doesn't have to worry, this is just the second step of the plan, since I am here, I naturally don't want to see the people of Qingzhou suffer." Zhou Zhenwen said with relief.

"Oh?" The eldest princess Huaizhen's eyes lit up, looked at Zhou Zhenwen, and asked, "What is Lord Zhou's clever plan?" Can it change the situation today? ”

"Those locusts still have to be dealt with, and the locust business can still continue, after all, if you want to promote locust prevention and control, you still need the help of the family, and in the end, I will take back the locusts in their hands at the price of a penny and a locust and deal with them centrally."

"If you can still eat, you will continue to sell it, and if you can't eat it, you can directly find a place to burn it and completely eliminate locusts."

Zhou Zhenwen smiled slightly and said softly.

"One penny for a locust......" the eldest princess Huaizhen muttered to herself, this price is inevitably too ruthless, it is simply to kill everything.

But she also knew that when the price of locusts came down, after a short period of trading, those locusts were worthless at all, and no one would want them, or in other words, no one would be able to collect such a huge number of locusts.

Although the price is ...... It's really spicy!!

But they would definitely be willing to trade compared to not having a penny......
