Ruins of the past

Wang Cailiang said: "After you left, Wu Wei and his subordinate Sun Bin began to expand everywhere, and the stock price of Qingyang Chamber of Commerce also rose along with it."

"Basically all the aristocratic families and cotton merchants in our Beiyue Prefecture have bought shares in the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce."

"Next, just like you said, Sun Bin started to open branches in other prefectures and counties in Lingzhou with local aristocratic families."

"Then we roped in various celebrities, experts, and high-ranking officials to start promoting the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce's stocks."

"Everywhere we go, we have to drag the local magistrate and county magistrate to cut the ribbon, which makes many ordinary people think that it is opened by the imperial court."

"More and more people are buying the shares, and when it reaches its peak, the stock price has risen to five taels of silver per share."

Liu Yao on the side was shocked when he heard it, and his heart suddenly became hot: "I asked the housekeeper to buy this stock before I left. I don't know how much I have made now." ’

As the richest man in Tianqu Mansion, Liu Yao is naturally very interested in money.

What's more, whether he practices martial arts or provides food and clothing for his family, he spends a lot of money every year. Of course, the more money, the better.

"But then... the Fei family took action."

Hearing that the Fei family took action, Liu Yao was shocked: "But the Fei family in Yizhou Prefecture and Wule County?"

Wang Cailiang nodded: "Exactly."

This Fei family is the Fei family where the former chief assistant Fei Yi was.

Wang Cailiang continued: "Mr. Fei Ge is worthy of being the former chief minister and a leader of the Tianyu School. This move is a big deal. He has contacted various aristocratic families in Lingzhou and the masters of the Tianyu School."

"This group of people claimed to have invested five million taels of silver to establish the Yunzhong Chamber of Commerce, and they also made textiles like the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce."

"On the opening day, they invited people from Lingzhou's Chief Secretary, Inspector General's Department, Command and Envoy Department, and Governor's Yamen. It was such a big fuss."

Chu Qiguang sighed in his heart: 'He is rich and has a profound background. ’ He looked at Qiao Zhi on the side and asked in his heart: ‘What was the life of this old Fei Yi Fei Pavilion like? ’

Qiao Zhi introduced in his heart: 'In the last life... although his heart was not in the central government, he was interested in the cabinet, and he was always thinking of ways to return to the capital. ’

'Feiyi made many attempts, training several Jinshi, building bridges and paving roads, opening libraries to teach, subsidizing poor families, and raising families for many years... He also sent people to travel around the capital. I heard that each of the six yamen Received his money. ’

'But Emperor Yong'an was determined not to use him anymore... so the old man was not reactivated until his death. ’

'On the contrary, during the Qingtian period, Mr. Wu Ge took the opportunity to suppress him and bullied the old man miserably. ’

‘Since then, the Tianyu School has almost failed to recover. During the ten years when Wu Gelao was the first assistant, no one from the Tianyu School has been awarded the Jinshi. ’

‘It wasn’t until Wu Gelao stepped down that the Tianyu School gradually rose to prominence, and then they suppressed and retaliated against the Wu family and Wu Gelao’s family. ’

‘Well, someone once said that starting from these two generations of chief ministers, the party struggle in the Han officialdom has become more and more intense and has become non-stop. Not only did they oppose for the sake of opposition, they even went so far as to drag down state affairs in order to defeat political opponents. ’

Chu Qiguang nodded: 'Then how did Fei Yi die in the end? ’

Qiao Zhi said: 'When the demon clan went south, he organized five hundred people in the county to resist bravely, and they all died in the end. "

"Originally, the demon army wanted to go to his house to take revenge. When they went there, they found that their whole family had also hanged themselves, so they all whipped their corpses and finally abandoned their bodies in the wilderness."

‘The monsters are going south…’ Chu Qiguang recalled the last time Qiao Zhi said that in more than thirty years in the Central Plains, there will be millions of soldiers and civilians who have become possessed by demons and swept the world, causing wars and wars and depriving the people of their livelihood.

In the end, the northern demon tribe moved south, and the east sea dragon tribe moved westward, causing chaos in the world, and the strength of the Han Dynasty was about to be exhausted.

Chu Qiguang sighed in his heart: ‘We still have to hurry up. ’

Wang Cailiang on the other side naturally didn't know the inner communication between Chu Qiguang and Qiao Zhi, so he just continued: "After the Yunzhong Chamber of Commerce was established, it started poaching people from the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce."

"Every shopkeeper and clerk is hired with double or triple salary."

"The craftsman responsible for building the water-powered textile machine was paid five times as much."

"The Qingyang Chamber of Commerce naturally refused, and began to use force to detain the craftsmen, locking the iron doors and shackles on them, and also invited experts from the fifth realm to guard the craftsmen."

"I'm just afraid that the Yunzhong Chamber of Commerce will steal the manufacturing method of the hydraulic textile machine."

"After that, the fight between the two sides became more and more intense, and various methods including poisoning, climbing over walls, fighting, and fighting in the arena were used."

"Several times, experts led teams into the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce and snatched the craftsmen out."

Chu Qiguang nodded slightly after hearing this, and thought in his mind: 'The battle between businessmen and businessmen will never change without leaving their own clans. ’

‘It seems that the commercial struggle in this world has many similarities to the one on Earth. ’

Wang Cailiang continued: "But after all, the Yunzhong Chamber of Commerce is richer and richer, and there are more masters from the Tianyu School."

"Later, even Jin Haitian from Jiubian was invited over. One man and one shot broke through the interception of the masters of the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce. Many of the craftsmen of the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce were eventually robbed."

‘Has Jiubian also joined? However, there were many students from the Tianyu School who joined Jiubian after completing their skills. It is normal for Jiubian to join this game now. ’

Chu Qiguang could feel that the situation was getting more and more chaotic, but Qiao Zhi on the side said in his heart: 'This Jin Haitian is also one of the eight generals of Xinghan. ’

'But he had to wait until he betrayed Jiubian, and was later given the name Jin Hailong by the emperor, and then he officially became the Eight Generals of the Xinghan Dynasty. ’

‘Although this boy is the apprentice of Zhou Junyan, the ‘sharp gun’ in Jiubian, he has never been of the same mind as Jiubian and has never approved of Jiubian’s rebellion. ’

'Later, he secretly cooperated with the imperial court and was one of the heroes who quelled the Nine-Border Rebellion. ’

‘Also...this boy should be the first among the Eight Generals of the Xinghan Dynasty to enter the realm of Taoism. ’

Chu Qiguang nodded slightly and remembered this person's name in his heart.

Wang Cailiang continued: "After the Yunzhong Chamber of Commerce also developed a hydraulic textile machine, it also began to issue shares."

"This time, millions of taels of silver were bet on both sides, and I don't know how many people's lives were bet on it."

"The Yunzhong Chamber of Commerce has investment from Jiubian Military Town, and the Qingyang Chamber of Commerce has attracted Prince Hui to join the company."

"As far as we know, there are also actions on the grassland side. Even Yisiman is buying shares of these two companies."

"Up to now, both sides have come up with strange tricks, each eager to kill the other, and the stock prices of both sides are also going up and down..."

"I heard that even the Emperor Dao and the Immortal Dao have been involved..."

"Currently, according to my estimation, the combined funds from both sides probably exceed tens of millions of taels..."

A terrifying struggle involving the Tianyu School, major aristocratic families, Jiubian, princes, cults, and foreign forces, involving tens of millions of taels of silver, has slowly begun in Lingzhou.

After listening to Wang Cailiang's narrative, Chu Qiguang already understood the situation at hand.

"Wang Cailiang, Liu Yao, please accompany me to meet someone tomorrow."

"There is still one person missing from this play."
