Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

;The farce will be over tomorrow, let's go and witness it then. ; Zhao Qian said to Zhao Zheng.

Zhao Zheng also nodded in response after listening.

Both teenagers had expressions of anticipation on their faces. They all wanted to see what kind of expressions those so-called masterminds behind the scenes would have by this time tomorrow.

In the afternoon and evening of this day, a piece of news was also spread throughout the entire Imperial City through official announcements and word of mouth.

;Tomorrow there will be a sufficient amount of linen cloth, if necessary, you can go to all the shops that sell cloth in each market to buy. ;

When this news came out, a large number of ordinary people were very happy. After all, they had waited too long for this day.

And to a certain extent, the government's performance of keeping their word this time has indeed added a lot of points to these ordinary people.

But on the other side of the Restoration Congress, naturally another meeting was called immediately.

It's just that it's different from the previous quarrel, after all, this time the Restoration Congress has already determined the strategic policy, so the expression and tone of everyone present are quite stable.

The leader Tiger said lightly: "It seems that the government has indeed tried its best to collect a batch of cloth, but there is absolutely no way for this batch of cloth to suppress the price level of the entire imperial capital." ;

The fox sitting next to the tiger chuckled, and said: "From the perspective of the Ministry of Finance, they have actually collected a sufficient amount of cloth during this period of time. After all, there are still a lot of stocks in other places in our country." of.

But it's a pity that they ran into us, so this time we only need to digest all the cloth that will be released tomorrow with all our strength, then the price of this cloth will not be able to continue to decrease at all. ;

A person wearing a green snake mask said: "If we want to digest all the cloth, how much will it cost?" ;

The fox said calmly: "Based on the current price of cloth, if we use 200 yuan for a piece of cloth to purchase, we only need to pay two to three hundred million yuan, which is enough." ;

After hearing what the fox said, everyone present was taken aback.

The green snake couldn't help but continued to say: "Such a big price is too outrageous. You must know that we have already spent almost [-] million yuan to raise the price of cloth." ;

Although these people present belonged to the great nobles of the seven vassal states back then, after all, their wealth has shrunk after a round of decline with the demise of the country, and each of them is not as good as before.

And if you want to buy cloth right now, you still need a lot of cash, and cash is even more rare.

So besides the Green Snake, there were also several people who voiced their doubts.

"If this is the case, we have to bet all the cash we have in our hands right now, which is too risky." ;

"If it succeeds this time, of course everything is easy to say, but if it fails, everyone will lose everything." ;

; Otherwise, let's think about it carefully. ;

In the face of this huge amount of money, the National Council of Restoration, which had already unified its understanding, once again had huge differences within it.

Hearing the other members' doubts, the fox also let out a sneer, and at the right time, focused the eyes of others on him again.

"As for you people, your vision is too short-sighted, understand?"Let me put it this way, in the current situation, we have already known all the hole cards on the official server side, but the government is completely ignorant of our hole cards, and they may not even know our hole cards. organization exists.

You talk about why we will lose under such circumstances?We don't even have the slightest chance of losing, get it? ;

After what the fox said, those who refuted the fox just now were speechless for a while.

At this moment, Tiger, the leader, also spoke: "What Mr. Fox said is very reasonable, everyone should think about it carefully. If the government knew that we existed, he would have tried to arrest us already, no?" ?

Although the current government is indeed very powerful, as long as they don't know our existence, then we are indeed victorious and undefeated in this war.

Now such a good opportunity, if we don't seize it, then I'm afraid we will never get such a good opportunity again in the future, so don't hesitate, let's do it tomorrow! ;

Although the identity of the tiger is not clear, it seems that among these fellows in the Restoration Congress, the tiger is indeed quite prestigious. After he finished speaking, everyone was silent and did not raise any objections.

The morning of the second day came quickly.

On this day, Zhao Qian, the crown prince of the Han Kingdom, got up early and brought his good partner Zhao Zheng together to the West Market in the capital city of the Han Kingdom, wanting to see the situation of cloth sales today.

It's not just Zhao Qian, there are already queues outside the doors of many shops selling cloth in the West Market. Most of these people seem to belong to the common people in the imperial capital.

Looking at this scene, Zhao Qian was actually a little puzzled, so he couldn't help but initiate a conversation with one of them.

;This old man asks, are these linen cloths so urgently needed in your home? ;

The one asked by Zhao Qian was an old man who looked quite simple and honest. After hearing Zhao Qian's question, he touched his head and said to Zhao Qian with a smile: "This young master doesn't know something. Our family It wasn't really a lack of linen. ;

After Zhao Qian heard this sentence, he couldn't help being even more surprised, and couldn't help but said: "Since there is no shortage of cloth here, why did you come here to buy it so early in the morning?" ;

The old man smiled and said to Zhao Qian: "This is not the price of cloth in the past two months, it has risen too fast, so we are actually a little flustered in our hearts, and want to take advantage of the fact that the government starts to sell these comments." Stock up on some cloth when it's time, so at least you don't have to panic this year. ;

After listening to the old man's words, Zhao Qian suddenly realized.

As a high-ranking prince, Zhao Qian has never had to worry about food and clothing since he was a child, so it is of course difficult for him to put himself in the shoes of these old men and understand their thoughts.

But now that the words have been spoken by others, he naturally understands why there are so many people queuing here.

To put it bluntly, among the people queuing here, those who really need cloth to make new clothes immediately are actually only a small part.

Others are totally thinking that the shortage of cloth will continue, so they take advantage of this opportunity of cheap cloth to stock up first.

Zhao Qian thought for a while, didn't say anything, but walked aside silently.

Zhao Zheng, who was following Zhao Qian, couldn't help but feel a little strange, and couldn't help but reminded: "Your Highness, in fact, you can remind them that there is no need to snap up these cloths." ;

Zhao Qian smiled and said to Zhao Zheng: "Brother Zheng, do you think they will believe what I tell them now?" ;

Zhao Zheng froze for a moment after hearing this sentence, but really couldn't answer.

Indeed, judging from Zhao Zheng's logic, without knowing how the steam engine room market can produce such a large output, absolutely no one would think that the government can lower the price of cloth in a short period of time.

Zhao Qian smiled, looked at the crowds of people who had completely filled the cloth store in front of him, and said calmly: "Actually, they are not losing money. After all, the price we set this time is a real parity." ;

How cheap is it?The answer is also very simple, this time the price of the cloth sold in the official uniform is only 20 yuan before the price increase.

Finally, when the time came, cloth shops began to open and start business.

Without any suspense, the business of these cloth stores was full in an instant, and countless crowds crowded inside, carrying out all kinds of crazy snap-ups.

One must know that there is a difference of 20 between this 200 yuan and the 0 yuan on the market today.

Under such circumstances, in just one hour, the price of linen cloth on the market began to drop rapidly, from 200 yuan to 110 yuan very quickly.

But in the face of this scene, the National Restoration Council, which had been prepared for a long time, of course, the many nobles behind them did not panic, but instructed various businessmen under them to make a large number of acquisitions.

As I said before, most of the people who came to snap up the goods did not really need them, so when they left with 20 yuan a piece of cloth, they met someone who said they would spend 100 yuan or more to buy At that time, of course they sold it very readily.

Ever since, in the deadlock between the seller and the seller, a whole morning passed.

On the one hand, there are crazy selling at low prices, and on the other hand, crazy high-priced acquisitions. It can be said that the two sides have roughly maintained a balance.

The price of linen has also been stabilized at around 100 yuan.

Faced with such a situation, the members of the Restoration Congress held another meeting at noon to stabilize the morale of the army.

At this meeting, Fox, the military adviser of the Restoration Congress, spoke first.

; Judging from the previous situation, the treasury still has the Shaofu side. In the past month, we should have bought about [-]% of the linen that we tried to transport to the imperial capital.

As long as we can persevere and buy all the remaining 200% of them, then the price of linen will continue to rebound and go higher, and it is very likely to reach more than 300 yuan or even [-] yuan.

At that time, we can use this high price to slowly sell all the stocks in our hands, and then such a high price will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of the people in the Imperial Capital City with the government, and we will be truly rewarded won! ;

After hearing what the fox said, all the people present at the Restoration Congress were also beaming with joy.

The leader of the Zionist Congress, Tiger, set the tone and conclusion for this meeting.

;Let's stick to it for another afternoon, until tonight, we can celebrate the final victory together! ;

Chapter 1174 The tragic failure of the Restoration Council (sixth)

For everyone in the Zionist Congress, victory in this trade war seems to be within easy reach.

But what they don't know is that things are not actually working out the way they thought.

At noon that day, a group of new employees came to the store to replace those colleagues who had been busy all morning and sold an unknown amount of goods.

At noon, it was supposed to be time for dinner, but everyone's interest in buying linen this time continued unabated.

Many people have even heard the news that someone is secretly buying linen at high prices, so they also rushed to buy them one after another, and then immediately sold these linen at high prices.It can be regarded as making some money.

Under such circumstances, after the end of the day, many guys who came here to resell really made a small fortune.

But at this time, the entire sale time has not yet come to an end, and a steady stream of cloth is still being put into the market continuously.

Zhao Qian was sitting in a restaurant not far from this shop. In front of him were some fairly simple meals. He did not plan to leave here, but wanted to witness the collapse of linen with his own eyes. .

By Zhao Qian's side, Zhao Zheng seemed to be wandering off, wondering what he was thinking.

Time passed by every minute and every second, and Zhao Qian finally saw new changes.

Some figures that Zhao Qian was familiar with during the day rarely appeared outside the shop.

These people were originally looking for those guys who came out of the shop to sell them linen, which means that these guys should be the minions of the mastermind behind the scenes.

But now these minions responsible for purchasing cloth seem to have disappeared from outside the shop.

Obviously, this can only explain one problem, that is, the continuous supply of goods has indeed begun to exceed the financial support of these behind-the-scenes masters.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qian suddenly laughed, and said to Zhao Zheng in front of him: "It seems that this so-called mastermind behind the scenes is actually nothing more than that. It's only in the afternoon, and he can't hold it anymore." . ;

Zhao Zheng withdrew his thoughts, nodded and said: "That's true. In fact, you can know after thinking about it. After all, His Majesty still firmly controls the entire Imperial Capital City."It is difficult to hide the flow of such a large amount of money from His Majesty, and considering that they have invested at least hundreds of millions of money from the beginning of the operation to the present, so if I am not wrong, these guys have actually taken All the fortunes are put on the line. ;

After Zhao Qian heard Zhao Zheng's speculation, the expression on his face became even happier, and he waved his hand and said: "I just want to let these guys lose everything, and let them know that it is absolutely wishful thinking to make trouble in our Han country." . ;

For Zhao Qian, he absolutely dislikes these guys who are still messing around in the Han Kingdom at this time.If it wasn't for Zhao Qian not knowing their identities now, Zhao Qian would have wanted to be the supervisor when these guys died.

Zhao Zheng smiled after hearing Zhao Qian's words, but did not speak.

Zhao Qian looked at Zhao Zheng in front of him. He had already known the character of his adoptive brother for so many years, so he asked curiously: "Are you thinking about other things related to this matter?" ? ;

Zhao Zheng nodded, and said: "Yes, Your Highness the Prince."In fact, I was thinking, if I am the mastermind behind these scenes, what should I do after knowing that I am about to face defeat? ;

Zhao Qian was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and said to Zhao Zheng: "Have you thought of a better way to get rid of the government's sanctions?" ;

After Zhao Zheng heard Zhao Qian's teasing words, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Zhao Qian: "It is true that I have thought of some methods, but whether these methods are useful or not, at present, we still need a fact." for verification. ;

Zhao Qian also laughed after hearing this, and said: "Then don't tell me, wait until the whole thing is dusted, and then tell me whether your thinking is correct or not." ;

The two continued to sit like this for another afternoon.

When the afternoon came, the whole thing had changed obviously, and those people who purchased cloth began to appear less and less at the door of the shop. On the contrary, many people who had sold cloth to them several times in the morning were anxiously surrounding the shop. They searched for them, wanting to sell the linen they just bought in their hands again.

Due to the low frequency of appearance of these people, the price of linen also dropped rapidly again, completely starting a diving performance.

; Now the price of linen is only 40 cents, and it will soon be reduced to our previous par price of 20 cents. "When Zhao Qian said this, he already had a triumphant smile on his face.

Of course he is qualified to laugh like that, after all, in this commercial war, Zhao Qian, as Zhao Kuo's representative, had the last laugh.

Frankly speaking, Zhao Qian actually had a little bit of fear in his heart at this moment.

Because Zhao Qian knows that if we look at the current situation, if we only buy linen from all over the Han Kingdom and sell it at a low price in the imperial capital, it will be too late to collect it in just one month. How much linen is there, and there is no way to finally bring down the price of linen.

But fortunately, with the help of steam looms, these linens can be continuously produced. This is the power of steam as a power source. He does not need to rest and will not make mistakes. He can maintain a high intensity for a day. 12 hours of production, and the output is much higher than that of ordinary workers.

Such a strong productivity is the real key that finally helped Zhao Qian and the Han Dynasty government defeat these people with ulterior motives behind the scenes.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qian expressed emotion again.

;It seems that what the father said is really too wise, science and technology is indeed the highest productive force for the progress of this society. ;

And Zhao Zheng, who had been silent by Zhao Qian's side, also expressed deep agreement with this sentence.

For the first time, these two teenagers understood from the bottom of their hearts why Zhao Kuo attached so much importance to technology, because they had indeed witnessed the power of technology with their own eyes.

Considering the identities of these two teenagers in the future, we know that this incident will actually have an extremely profound impact on the Han Kingdom and even the entire earth world.

Zhao Qian and Zhao Zheng are still sighing here, but on the other side, in the secret room of the Fuhui Congress, the pot has already exploded.

A man wearing a leopard mask couldn't suppress the anger in his heart, and asked loudly: "What you said before is as long as the afternoon is the most, then the output of the government will definitely be unstoppable, but what about now?" Now, all the stores in the government are still selling linen continuously, and they show no signs of stopping at all.

The price of linen has now dropped to 30 yuan a piece. You say that the cloth we buy is at a high level of 70~80 yuan or even more than 100 yuan. If this continues, we will all go bankrupt, understand? ;

It's no wonder the man in the leopard mask is so angry. After all, the money in it is their real money. If the situation continues like this, then all the real money they gave will be worthless. All must be paid for.

It's not just the man with the leopard mask, but the other people present have roughly the same idea in their hearts. They participated in the Restoration Congress to restore the country and power back then, but not to compensate their family property in the process. Be clean.

What's more, the current situation seems to be that once the family property is completely compensated, it will not help restore one's own country.

Facing the questioning of the man in the leopard mask, the fox military division who was very calm at first could not calm down anymore. He began to say in a calm tone as much as possible: "Don't worry, it seems that the government is using something we don't know." channel, got more goods.However, we are not saying that this will be completely defeated. As long as we can continue to purchase, the goods from the government will be consumed sooner or later. At that time, we will be able to raise the price of linen again. up. ;

If it was before, the words of the fox military division would have been enough, but in the current situation, the man in the leopard mask obviously no longer believed in the fox military division's words, and said with a sneer: "How do you know what the official government is?" How much is left in stock?Anyway, what I only see now is that all the shops in the government are completely open to sell all the linens without a limit, and this kind of open limit has been going on from morning to now, almost a whole day.

It is no exaggeration to say that the people in the entire imperial capital have already gone to these shops in the government to buy cloth and sold it to us fools. Now you still want us fools to continue to be go down? ;

Seeing that the conflict between the two parties was on the verge of breaking out, Tiger, the leader, could no longer remain indifferent. He patted the table in front of him heavily and said: "Enough, you all should stop arguing, there is no point in arguing now." ? ;

After all, the tiger was the leader of everyone. After the tiger spoke, neither the leopard nor the fox continued to argue, but they all let out cold snorts in unison, obviously quite dissatisfied with each other.

The tiger regained his composure, and said slowly: "We can delay the acquisition for a while and make a small amount of acquisition first. After all, we don't have much principal left now."However, right now we actually have no way out. After all, we have too much linen in our hands. If the price of linen is really completely lowered, then our loss will be too heavy.
