In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 552
Handan.

A large number of people gathered in the mansion of the former Prime Minister Guo Kai.

Almost all of Zhao's surrender factions are here, but they only account for a small part of the large group.And the reason why they gathered in this way was because of their business in Yandi.

"Sir Shangqing, you have an idea!"

Han Cang looked at Guo Kai anxiously, his brows were full of worry.

Originally thought that Qin Yan negotiated peace, the people in this house sold all their food reserves to Zhao Shuang, most of them were sold at a price of [-] yuan.

They had hoped that they could withdraw funds quickly so that they could participate in the sale of Yandi.

Since the Xiongnu was defeated by the Qin army a few years ago and withdrew their main force to the front line of Yinshan, they started a war with Donghu.

In fact, like the barbarian tribe, the more desperate they are, the more ferocious they can be aroused.

The Xiongnu suffered a loss from the Qin people, so they planned to get compensation from the Donghu side.

The war caused a sharp increase in the demand for hard currency such as salt and iron from the Donghu and Huns. At the same time, it also caused some small tribes to go bankrupt and perish, and produced a large number of cheap slaves and luxury goods. It was a good time for them to buy bargains.

Some bankrupt Hu tribes could not sustain themselves, so they could only sell the old people, women, and children in the tribe in exchange for the survival of the entire tribe.

A slave is quite cheap in the border trade, but in the south of the Great Wall, it can be sold for three to four thousand yuan.Even, if a woman with a good figure goes to the singing and dancing studio, the benefits generated will be even greater.

This kind of profiteering business is just the tip of the iceberg of the whole business.

But now, with the outbreak of the Qin-Yan war, all this has come to naught.

"How much food did you sell to Zhao Shuang?"

Guo Kai asked in a deep voice.

"After all the calculations, Zhao Shuang received nearly 180 million shi from us. We only have 20 shi left in our grain."

After the outbreak of the Qin-Yan War, the price of food soared, and the price once soared to [-] yuan.

"Let's do the math, Zhao Shuang's average price for our food is less than [-] yuan."

Guo Kai gritted his teeth with hatred, and smiled coldly.

"Zhao Shuang is really rich. Just in our business, he spent more than 1 yi."

That's a lot of money, and it's everywhere.At this moment, everyone didn't care about these things in their hearts, because almost all the money they got from Zhao Shuang was invested in Yandi's business.

But whether it was the wine ordered from western Liaoning, the ginseng from North Korea, or the pearls bought from Donghu...these all followed the death of Lord Yanchun, and the royal family of Yan fled eastward, which became a mess.

Couldn't even find an owner.

But they also knew that these goods would not disappear for no reason, and most likely entered Zhao Shuang's pocket.

This is why they gathered in Guo Kai's mansion.

How to get these things back from Zhao Shuang's pocket so as to make up for some losses?

The sudden speed with which Qin Yan started the battle with Zhao Shuang made Guo Kai wonder if Zhao Shuang had already done it, and he was holding back bad luck for them!
But these are not things that can be said.

"Sir Shangqing, no matter how dark Zhao Shuang is, he can't let us not even have a mouthful of soup!"

But in this room, some things can still be said.

The armed forces of Zhao State were wiped out by the establishment, but the economic power still exists, and this power is represented by the people in this room.

Guo Kai and other surrendered ministers hold a lot of wealth in their hands, which can affect the economic operation of the counties in Zhaodi.They chose to take refuge in Qin because it was in their interests.

One day, Qin State can no longer give them benefits, and they will not hesitate to stand on the side of the Six Nations.

"If he doesn't eat us up, it's considered merciful." Guo Kai said with a sullen face, "Now that the counties in Zhaodi have been established, the bureaucrats of the Qin court have controlled the operation of Zhaodi. When food prices soared, Qin The official took away a large amount of cloth coins from Zhao, followed by Qin's half taels, which kept pouring in. If there is no plan behind this, is it possible?"

Guo Kai's words made the crowd very angry.

Although the state of Zhao was destroyed, the economy still operated independently.To the north of Dahe, the Handan metropolitan area and the Jicheng metropolitan area influenced each other, but did not merge.

The two economic centers have their own coins, writing, weights and measures.

This is also the reason why these people can still maintain their independence and strength after the fall of the Zhao Kingdom.

After all, in this world, not only soldiers and horses are power, but also wealth and knowledge.

They monopolized the writing and possessed wealth, so the Qin court couldn't avoid them if they wanted to govern the region, and needed their support.

And if the wind is wrong in the future, they can still survive in the troubled times with the power at hand.

But now, what Zhao Shuang did made them uneasy.

Zhao Guo was destroyed, and they lost their own armed forces.And once they lose their financial independence, they don't have much left.

Compared with the confrontation of swords and soldiers on the battlefield, for them, this is more terrifying.

"What exactly is Zhao Shuang going to do!"

In this room, among the crowd, the impatient one's eyes were almost red.

The former mansion of Lord Yanchun has now become Zhao Shuang's temporary garrison.

The rain fell heavily on the bluestone bricks.

Zhao Shuang stood in the room, looking at the huge map.What is drawn above is the situation in the land of Yanzhao to the north of the great river.

The Yan army escorted the princes and nobles of the Yan Kingdom to flee eastward, and took away a lot of wealth, which had a great impact on the economy of the Yan Kingdom.

The war caused the price of food in the land of Yanzhao to rise again, and food became a hard currency.

"Your Majesty, the Daqin officials have collected 800 million sword coins from the people of Yandi."

"It's not enough! Let the sailors in Handan and Zhongshan send another two hundred ships of grain and one hundred carts of half taels to Yandi."

"promise!"

Everyone in the house retreated, Zhao Shuang wanted to rest, but the railing outside the attic moved lightly.

Zhao Shuang turned his head and saw Moon God walking in slowly.

"Strange, I thought you would chase after Yan Dan?"

Luna looked at Zhao Shuang with dissatisfaction on his face.

Although she knew that Zhao Shuang was hiding a lot of things from her, and she also wanted to ask Zhao Shuang a lot of things, but Luna's first sentence was still: "Where's that little vixen?"

"Which little vixen?"

"Zhao Dabao, don't pretend to be stupid with me, you are the coquettish No. [-] dancer in Yan Kingdom."

"Ah! She, I'm afraid she has already arrived in Xianyang." Zhao Shuang said, coughing, "You also know that I am a clean person, and I don't get close to women."

Luna took two steps forward and pulled Zhao Shuang's sleeve.

"No, come again?"

"Don't talk nonsense, come with me!"

"..."

Zhao Shuang was a little helpless and shouted.

"Aren't the Canglong Qisu not important anymore? Don't you care about the affairs of the Yinyang family? There are a lot of things in this world that you need to worry about. Moon God, you are a person with great love... woo woo woo... What are you doing?" Why... woo..."

"If my sister can do it, so can I!"
