"Lord, then Lu Xuan humiliated me like this, obviously ignoring the lord's face!"

In Yangquan City, listening to the cry of the messenger, Cui Yan's complexion did not change much, but the knuckles of his fingers pinching the paperweight had already turned white.

"Lord, this strategy was seen through by that Lu Xuan, and he calculated and calculated that I would wait, resulting in a lot of losses on our side! It's really not time to use troops at this time! The strategist sighed, this time, in order to calculate the Unification Sect, the Huangzhou side took out a lot of real money to do this game, not only that, but also invited the Xie family to join forces.

Now that Lu Xuan has broken the situation, not only can the Xie family not be able to explain, but more importantly, Huangzhou has suffered heavy losses, and there is no shortage of food, but there is almost no money available in the treasury!

There is no shortage of food, but there is no need to worry about the big drop in luck, but the large loss of money and wealth has hit them a lot, the military salary needs money, and the operation of the government yamen needs money, even if the officials have luck and can ignore these for the time being, but what about the officials below? They have to provide for their families.

This loss can even paralyze their army and government system, at this time, they can't rush to send troops, morale is low, the army is discouraged, and rashly sending troops is likely to be in line with Lu Xuan's intentions.

"Lu Xuan, I underestimated him." Cui Yan took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"Lord, there is another thing that my subordinates think is quite strange." The messenger bowed.

"Speak!" Cui Yan said.

"Then Lu Xuan seems to know the lord's every move, and when his subordinates leave, then Lu Xuan said that the lord doesn't want to be famous? He gave the lord this name. The envoy said in a deep voice: "And this time the bureau is done, then Lu Xuan seems to have expected everything, and the minister is suspicious ......."

As he spoke, the messenger looked at the counsellors around him, but did not speak.

"There's a mole!?" Cui Ping couldn't sit still, and his eyes looked fiercely at a famous military general and minister.

"Don't mess with yourself! This is a plan against thieves! Cui Yan said in a deep voice.

Just looking at his gradually gloomy gaze, many people understood that their father-in-law was suspicious.

It is not difficult to understand when you think about it, five years of planning and layout, and countless manpower and material resources have been consumed, but in the end, not only did they fall short, but they also lost a lot.

If the skills are not as good as others, it is fine, if the five-year layout falls short because of the spies around him, it is unacceptable to individuals.

And with Cui Yan's conceit, I'm afraid it's hard to accept the reality that he can't be a mud leg in his strategy, and this result may be what Cui Yan wants to see.

"Lord!" A strategist suddenly hurried in, bowed to Cui Ping and said, "Something happened." ”

"What?" Cui Yan frowned when he heard this.

"A large number of wealthy merchants and ordinary people in Fangshan County surrounded the yamen and demanded to open the Yuzhu trade!" The strategist said in a deep voice.

Cui Yan's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this, and after taking out the mountain and river seal and feeling it carefully for a while, his complexion gradually sank, and the luck that gathered on his body was constantly draining, and the speed was not fast at present, but it was continuously draining.

"Jade coins!" The chief strategist's expression moved when he heard this, and he said in a deep voice.

"It should be." Cui Yan nodded, at this moment, it was difficult for him to maintain that calm and breezy look.

Things are also simple, the jade coin has now been speculated to the price of three hundred taels of gold, and there is no price in the market, in the past four years of continuous purchase of a large number of jade bamboo, there are also many traders in Huangzhou to buy and sell jade bamboo for a living.

Originally, this matter was very easy to handle, but the appearance of Pei Ruhai's jade coin made a large amount of private funds in Huangzhou pour into this small jade coin, and as the value of the jade coin became higher and higher, hundreds of people participated.

At first, Cui Yan didn't really care about this, after all, this was also a disguised help to promote the Yuzhu cultivation plan in Yanyun and Yanyun Prefectures, and the other party's money was here, so he couldn't run away, Pei Ruhai was always under his control.

And Pei Ruhai has always been able to give dividends to everyone, so the value of this jade coin is getting higher and higher, even exceeding the profit it brings.

However, in the middle of this year, it was suddenly announced that the trading of jade bamboo was prohibited and that it would no longer buy jade bamboo, which not only made the people of Yanyun and Yanyun have no return for a year's cultivation, but also made a large number of sober jade coin investors in Huangzhou begin to panic.

The root of the jade coin, in the final analysis, is still the jade bamboo transaction, and now the jade bamboo transaction is one percent, isn't this jade coin also a castle in the air?

Many people began to sell jade coins, or ran to Pei Ruhai to sell jade coins, but Pei Ruhai's money had been detained by the government, and even Pei Ruhai was arrested, at that time, a large number of officials came to intercede for Pei Ruhai, and some connections with the Cui family also came, and they were preparing to harvest Yanyun at that time, Cui Yan could only be forced to temporarily release Pei Ruhai under pressure.

But now, the failure of the plan to harvest Yanyun has made a large number of merchants controlled by the Cui family lose their money, and at the same time, the transaction of jade bamboo has also caused the value of jade coins to plummet overnight, from the beginning of two hundred taels of gold to the present, but in just a few days, it has plummeted to two hundred taels of silver, a full thirteen times lower, and more importantly, the market is priceless!

came to Pei Ruhai to let Pei Ruhai buy it back, Pei Ruhai couldn't come up with the money at all, and the reason for the excuse was that the money was deducted by the government, and the jade bamboo trade was also broken.

Pei Ruhai's reply was reasonable, so the people's grievances were concentrated in Cui Yan, and Cui Yan's luck here began to decrease, and this reduction is still increasing.

You must know that in the past four years, almost all counties in Huangzhou have sold jade coins, and a lot of wealth is concentrated on this small jade coin, and in the past four years, almost most of the people have participated in the game of jade coins...... Cui Yan can imagine that at that time, I am afraid that the entire wasteland will be in mourning.

"Let Pei Ruhai come to see me!" Although Cui Yan had tried his best to suppress his emotions, when he said the end, he still had a feeling of gritting his teeth: "In addition, I ordered us to arrange a detailed work in Yunzhou and bring Pei Ruhai's family back to me at all costs!" ”

"Yes!"

Pei Ruhai has been waiting for this day since he was arrested and released, he knows that Lu Xuan's plan has succeeded, as for his own life...... Whether you can live or not depends on today.

"See Cui Gong." When he was brought to Cui's mansion, Pei Ruhai was already very calm, his family Lu Xuan had already been settled, and he had no worries, Lu Xuan's words in this regard still counted, which was also the reason why Pei Ruhai was willing to give Lu Xuan his life.

Cui Yan looked at Pei Ruhai with a calm gaze: "Master Pei, you are also a wealthy businessman, in terms of background, you are more than a hundred times higher than that Lu Xuan, if you are willing to abandon the dark and turn to the light at this moment, this official is not only not to blame the past, but is more willing to reuse you." ”

"Cui Gong Mingjian, I'm just here to make some money." Pei Ruhai bowed.

"Make money? What about the money? Cui Yan looked at Pei Ruhai and said with a sharp gaze: "I searched the whole family, and the property obtained was only one hundred and two, but this jade coin is almost all over the entire wasteland, and almost all the wealth of the entire wasteland has been replaced by the so-called jade coin, you tell me, where is the money!?" ”

There is no shortage of food in the barren state now, but the money is gone, and the people are not starving to death, but the wealth accumulated for many years has come to naught.

"Whether Cui Gong believes it or not, Pei's jade coins here have only 10,000 from the beginning to the present." Pei Ruhai couldn't help but marvel at the horror of Lu Xuan's hand, the wealth of the entire wasteland was swept away, but the whereabouts of the money, even if he was sincere now, he couldn't find out.

"Ridiculous!" A strategist frowned and said, "Now there are hundreds of thousands of jade coins in this wasteland city, how can there be only 10,000?" ”

"This ...... It's not clear below. Pei Ruhai shook his head.

"I don't know? The jade coins in your hand are exactly the same as the jade coins of other counties, these things are all refined in a special way, and ordinary people can't make them even if they want to imitate them! The Chief Strategist frowned.

"Ask a different question." Seeing that Pei Ruhai didn't speak, Cui Yan took a deep breath and asked again: "Let me ask you, where did this jade coin in your hand come from?" ”

"It was given by Sect Master Lu, and this method was also given by Sect Master Lu!" Pei Ruhai didn't hide it, even if he knew about this matter now, what could he do, the general trend has been achieved, it is meaningless to say it or not, and he can't take his life because of his hard mouth.

"Lu Xuan?" Cui Yan's gaze has become a little gloomy: "When did this happen?" ”

"Before coming to Arashi." Pei Ruhai bowed his head and said.

"Poof~" Cui Yan sat down on the ground, unable to maintain his image as a son of the family, looking ahead in distraction, and was silent for a long time.

That is to say, from the very beginning, when the mutual market was requested here, Lu Xuan had already begun to lay out, and Lu Xuan's fall was obviously not just Pei Ruhai, Pei Ruhai was just a chess piece thrown by Lu Xuan to attract his attention, and Lu Xuan's real killer move had been laid out in the entire wasteland since then!

"That's not right, this money should stay in Huangzhou after all, but where has this money gone now?" The Chief Strategist frowned.

No matter how the money is transferred, he should not be able to get out of the wasteland, even if it doesn't flow to Pei Ruhai, it should still be in the wasteland, why is there almost no money circulating in the market now? This doesn't make sense!

"Check!" Cui Yan took a deep breath and said, "I want information on all the major trades in the past four years, no matter which trade I trade with." ”

"My lord, I think of something below." The chief strategist suddenly asked, "Do you remember the metal trade with Kang Guo in the past few years?" This is probably the biggest trade in recent years. ”

Cui Yan suddenly looked up at the chief strategist, and was about to say something, but saw a general rushing in, and saluted Cui Yan: "Lord, there is a battle report from the front line, and the Guiyi Sect has gathered heavy troops in Xiuwu and Linhe counties, and is about to invade my Huangzhou border!" ”
