255. Prices are rising

In the eyes of the nobles of Chaoge, in this world, there is no problem that cannot be solved with money, if there is, then use more money.

But now, they don't have enough money.

A pound of charcoal is 100 Wen, the price is still rising, and I can't afford to burn it!

The aristocrats are going crazy.

At first, the nobles didn't think it was anything, but with the high price of charcoal in the hearts of the people, the four cities of east, west, north and south have become a pot of porridge.

Although it is a big winter market, it is more lively than ever, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is crowded with people.

So what can we do? I still have to buy it.

As early as the year of the Great Wall, the king of Xuan requisitioned the slaves of various nobles to build the Great Wall, and the princes and nobles in other places could deceive and conceal the subordinates.

No way.

What's more, the nobles had long realized the importance of the Great Wall when Xiqi was plundered by the Qiang side, and added a batch of slaves.

Coupled with the caravan that had been built early in the morning, there were not many slaves left, and they had to rely on procurement.

The aristocrats have realized these days that the road of the past is no longer possible.

While many people are scolding the king, they are also thinking about what to do, such as Peng Zun, who returned home on his day off.

As soon as Peng Zungang came home, he found that there was almost no charcoal burning at home, and he was so frightened that he wanted to go back to Shanglin Yuan, after all, there was no shortage of charcoal in the palace.

But on second thought, there is something strange.

Raising the price of charcoal is undoubtedly forcing the aristocracy to a dead end.

Doing business is a chance for all nobles to survive, why did this happen?

So Peng Zun came to Beishi and wanted to investigate.

There are a lot of people in Beishi, and the palace people who collect charcoal still pull the station in the most eye-catching place, and charcoal is a topic that everyone can't avoid during this time period.

The price of charcoal, in one day, has skyrocketed dozens of times, and after the supply exceeds demand, it has been rising.

Every nobleman's subordinate looked for charcoal and tried to buy it cheaper for the winter.

"Is there charcoal?"

"Nothing. ”

"This charcoal, I'm afraid it will continue to rise. ”

"It's gone up again, it's gone up! A pound has gone up three cents. ”

"Throw it away!"

"No, I'm afraid I'll have to wait until early spring, or the palace won't buy charcoal, and it won't fall...."

"Keep hoarding?"

.....

In the market, the price of charcoal continues to rise, but the palace has not stopped buying, but continues to melt the bronze coins of the first king, more and more money is circulating in the market, in the past, the copper coins on the market are not enough to circulate, many people have made money, are not willing to spend, but now it is different.

It is also rumored that the palace is not only collecting charcoal, but occasionally selling some, but in fact it does not collect so much.

Peng Zun felt that it was very likely, it must be that the king of Xuan wanted to take money from the nobles again, and there was a lot of charcoal in the palace, who to sell it to and how much to sell it for, and it was not the king who had the final say?

Many nobles who thought of this layer had red eyes, and many people even had the idea of defecting to Xiqi, under the rule of this kind of faint monarch, the family would be hollowed out sooner or later.

Some of the aristocratic servants in the market hung wooden signs.

"Collect the snake..."

"Collect the oil...."

"Harvest timber...."

"Harvest the ..... of cabbage"

"Harvesting Mountain Grape ....."

Of course, more wooden signs are still collecting charcoal.

Something seems to be wrong....

Peng Zun looked around and found many friends who came to the market on their days off.

At the moment, no one is paying attention to the high price of charcoal.

Because it was completely unnecessary, they found out more.

In addition to the price of charcoal, the price of other materials has also risen.

The seller of cabbage went to burn charcoal.

The oil seller went to burn charcoal.

The snake and rat catcher went to burn charcoal.

If they all go to burn charcoal, won't prices go up?

Instead of bothering to buy charcoal, it's better to ......

Go buy it somewhere else!

Of course, it is not the purchase of charcoal, if a large amount of charcoal is collected at a high price, other places will also become a scene like a song, Peng Zun decided to buy it in a balanced manner.

Anyway, whatever you acquire, you can make a profit.

It doesn't matter how much you make a profit, what matters is to occupy the market.

You have to act fast!

It is said that there is wood in the south and cardiac in the east......

Doing business has long been the transformation method set by the nobles of Chaoge, and the caravan has been prepared, just waiting for the road to be repaired!

Now that Boyi has been recalled by His Majesty, doesn't this mean that the roads are basically normal and you can drive?

Yin Jiao and Yin Hong, as princes, most of them inherited the carpentry skills of King Zhou.

They have been doing business with the children of the nobility in Shanglin Yuan, and they have made a more stable and stable four-wheeled vehicle based on the Qixiang car, which is more convenient to travel, and has been peddling in Shanglin Yuan Palace City!

Although it does not have the rumored self-propelled ability of the genuine Qixiang car, as long as it is pulled by a horse, it can be unimpeded and carry more cargo!

Move it!

Peng Zun and the others only have one day off, and they must hurry up and arrange everything on this day.

Horse-drawn wagons are ready.

Countless minions have been prepared.

There are also all the joints along the way, and you need to send someone to open them immediately.

This was very simple for the nobles, they had many slaves and servants, and they had family connections, and the local princes had to sell them face.

This road is certainly a long way.

Aristocrats are never stupid and know the most suitable way to behave in the world.

The king not only pointed out a clear way for them, but also helped them raise the price of goods, so that everything was profitable, so to speak, step by step, pushing them away, will they stop?

No!

Moreover, the price of Chaoge is not high now, and in all rising trends, the price of grain is like a lotus flower in the mud, motionless.

There was too much grain and grass to be used earlier to pacify the peace spirit!

In the Chaoge Grain Warehouse, the price of grain is even a little low, but in other places, grain is hard currency!

Thinking of this, Peng Zun had to admire King Xu's step-by-step calculation.

From the beginning of the palace market, road construction, to the seven-incense car, grain transfer, and charcoal to raise prices, everything has become possible.

Gong City accumulated business experience, road construction to ensure that the road is smooth and reduce the distance, Qixiang car is stable and fast, large load, high price, profitable.

Even, there is the horse farm that Peng Zun almost forgot, which also played a role.

The most enthusiastic about betting on horses, aren't they the children of the aristocracy?

Gambling and gambling, you have experience, know how to identify horses, know what kind of horses are hard-working and easy to feed, and what kind of horses are rare animal power.

Moreover, the horse farm has been in operation for so many years, and there is a continuous influx of herdsmen who are good at raising horses, and the horses have long reached a scale that is enough for them to form caravans.

Even, Peng Zun thought of a more long-term place, but it was a little hazy.

No wonder.... It is no wonder that the king of the Ring was so supportive of the aristocracy in business.

Thinking about it like this, it seems that the distance between the south and the north of the world is a little farther, but in fact, it is not impossible.

Peng Zun immediately went home and wanted to tell his father everything, but the head of the Peng family didn't have time to take care of these things, and was preparing to participate in the lap sacrifice banquet.

In previous years, there was no banquet or anything like that, and there was no atmosphere, the main thing was to be busy, busy counting the fields, but this year, there must be a deep meaning for the unprecedented banquet of hundreds of officials and nobles.
