From mentioning AK47 to farming in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 121 Iron Farm Tools, Undercurrent
If Zhao Tai knew that Zheng Chen had commented on him like this, he might not be able to resist lifting his skull.

"Could it be that the lord wants to use tricks? The tricks will come out?"

It's not that he doesn't know how to make money with farm tools, but there are some methods he can't say, especially for controlled items such as salt or iron.

Zhao Tai's ability to mine at will and create things for sale doesn't mean he doesn't control iron farming tools.

The franchise system will not be relaxed for a long time.

"Zheng Chen, is there anyone in the firm who is corrupt?"

"Absolutely not, the subordinate guarantees with the head."

Zheng Chen didn't know why Zhao Tai suddenly brought up the topic of corruption, and thought Zhao Tai had some thoughts about the firm.

This is Zheng Chen thinking too much, but Zheng Chen can't help not thinking too much, after all, every word Zhao Tai said must be carefully pondered as a subordinate.

Companion Jun is like companion tiger, which is also suitable for Zhao Tai.

He answered simply, but he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Since there are none, there might as well be one or two."

"It really doesn't."

"This can be."

Zhao Tai weighed the hoe in his hand, and looked at Zheng Chen who was a little dazed.

Regarding Zhao Tai's strange request, thoughts flashed through Zheng Chen's mind, and finally his gaze was fixed on the hoe in Zhao Tai's hand.

"My lord, what do you mean by letting people sell the iron farming tools to the aristocratic family in a corrupt way?"

Zheng Chen was a little cautious when he spoke. After all, as a businessman, he knew very well how much profit he could earn from the private sale of public property. This is a different kind of corruption, but it is obvious that what Zhao Tai wants is not real corruption.

"What do you think of this method?"

"I don't know if the master has a limit on the amount?"

"On the basis of ensuring that it can be supplied to the common people, we will sell it at a high price to the aristocratic family. The lowest price should not be less than five hundred yuan."

The price of [-] yuan will definitely make the family jump. After all, ten times the price clearly means different treatment, and few people can bear it.

But if at this time the wealthy family is unwilling to pay the wronged money and wants to buy farm tools, someone tells them that they can buy them for five hundred yuan. Although it is still a bit high, if one thousand yuan is put there, five hundred yuan seems Also acceptable.

This is a psychological gap effect. You don't want to buy at a high price, and you don't sell at a low price. You don't have to choose in this case.

Will the common people cut prices so that they have better choices?Then secretly release some news to stabilize the price of scalpers in a range, and they will know how to do it with a thousand dollars as a comparison, not to mention that scalpers are also limited in purchase.

"Ten percent, that's too much. My lord, have you considered that the iron farm tools may not be used as farm tools if they fall into the hands of the aristocratic family?"

Why should we specialize in iron? Apart from the small quantity, it is just to prevent others from using it to make weapons and armor, especially for aristocratic families.

Zheng Chen said it tactfully, but how could Zhao Tai make the same mistake in the same place.

"The only thing you worry about is that farm tools will become weapons or ordnance. I don't know this. Don't worry, this Changshan County can't change the sky."

Create a weapon with evil intentions?Then let them make it, the more prepared they are, the more desperate they will be.

Zheng Chen didn't know where Zhao Tai's confidence came from, but it definitely didn't come from explosives. The destructive power of explosives was beyond doubt, but even that powerful destructive power made it unsuitable for densely populated places in the city.

No matter where Zhao Tai's confidence comes from, Zheng Chen only needs to know that Zhao Tai has considered the consequences of doing so, other Zheng Chen will not ask too much.

Outsiders only said that Zhao Tai made stupid moves and did things regardless of the consequences, but they, who followed Zhao Tai to start a family, knew that the word fatuous rarely appeared on Zhao Tai.

It can be said that Zhao Tai has many deficiencies, but there is only one thing that Zhao Tai has done well.

He is good at accepting advice and following good advice, in short, he is able to listen to advice and persuade him. Zheng Chen's advice to him not to sell Tai'an medical classics is the best proof.

"Since the lord has made plans, I will leave this matter to my subordinates, which will definitely satisfy the lord."

There was a smile on the corner of Zheng Chen's mouth, and he knew that he had no good intentions.

It wasn't until the next day that the system of farm tool sales suddenly changed drastically. The high price and differential treatment caused countless people to overturn the table.

It's just a matter of pointing at Zhao Tai's nose and scolding him for being an idiot, a scumbag, and not being a son of man.

During this period, many officials delivered documents to Zhao Tai, asking him to withdraw the government order.

"The aristocratic family and the people are all people under the prefect's rule, and should not be treated differently. If this decree is not eliminated, it will be difficult for the people to feel at ease."

Most of the content is like this. Zhao Tai laughed after reading it, and then stopped watching it directly, letting You Kan pick it out and use it as firewood.

Zhao Tai is determined to do this, and many people want to raise troops directly.

But after seeing that the soldiers in the city did not hide their whereabouts and stared at their soldiers with fierce eyes day and night, their thoughts were suppressed.

Puwu County became the center of the turmoil for a while, especially after the aristocratic family found a loophole to buy farm tools from the people.

This gust of wind blew up, and then it got out of hand, causing the prices of farm tools in the hands of the people to rise.

Zhao Tai didn't care about it, but then issued a purchase restriction order, stipulating that people can only buy farm tools once every fifteen days.

It’s okay to sell it for money and food, but you can’t let the people keep sucking it up, that will completely disrupt the market, which is not in line with Zhao Tai’s original intention.

It was spring plowing at this time, and people rarely sold farm tools after buying them for the first time, unless they were given a price they could not refuse.

This provided the "corrupt elements" who emerged from the Tai'an Commercial Bank with an opportunity to get involved.

They contacted the aristocratic family with a lot of farm tools, but they didn't sell them for [-] yuan, but for [-] yuan, which was only [-] yuan lower than the official price.

But the aristocratic family still gritted their teeth and bought it. At this time, it was not for buying and farming. As for what to do, only they knew what to do.

Once the seeds of hatred are planted, it is not so easy to remove them.

But Zhao Tai will remove it?That's impossible.

If the previous bet was regarded as a game, then it is no different from tearing face off now.

But in this way, interesting things happened. On the surface, it was calm, and officials from all over the country went to work honestly.

The aristocratic family does whatever they want on the surface, but secretly they are planning to overthrow Zhao Tai.

And the business house is selling them iron farm tools, which is equivalent to giving them blood transfusions. The aristocratic family thinks this is an opportunity, everything is very secretive, and even the transaction must be careful.

While scolding the "corrupt" people as unworthy of human rights, they maintained good relations with them and even provided cover for them, for fear that the line would be broken.

But they didn't know that the so-called loopholes were left for them by Zhao Tai, and so were the corrupt officials.

Even the opportunity for them to develop and grow secretly is reserved for them, and everything is done on purpose by Zhao Tai.

The scale of iron smelting continued to expand, and the number of agricultural tools that Zhao Tai originally planned to sell to aristocratic families also increased. For this reason, Zheng Chen came to ask Zhao Tai's opinions more than once.

Because that [-]% of the quantity has now turned into hundreds of farm tools. Considering the reason of playing with fire and self-immolation, Zhao Tai set the quantity at [-], and it is still sold in every county.

The sale of iron farm tools and the hidden murderous intent of the aristocratic family are faintly developing in an uncontrollable direction.

Changshan County is already undercurrents, and the aristocratic family will surely counterattack if they have accumulated a certain amount of money.

It's almost to the point where the picture is poor.

The original plan will also be overturned, and the blunt knife cutting the flesh will fast forward to directly raising the butcher knife.

But there is still a period of buffering for this process. At least while planning, they must also get in touch with the imperial court. With the aristocratic families in Changshan County, they dare not confront Zhao Tai head-on without foreign aid.

No matter how strong they are, no matter how they plan, can they still defeat Zhao Tai's tens of thousands of troops?
With Zhao Tai's prestige in Changshan County, the common people would not fool around with them, who knows very well about their good commoners.

Without the conditions to raise one's arms and respond to the gathering, jumping out directly is courting death.

There was a temporary chaos, and then the family was suppressed and suffered annihilation. Zhao Tai believed that the family did not have the confidence to sacrifice their lives for righteousness.

I clearly wanted to mess with you, but you didn't dare to fight back resolutely, and you had to do it yourself even if you spit on your face.

Zhao Tai didn't even do superficial work. Anyway, the sale of iron farm tools will make the family mess with it, so it's better to put the matter on the surface before then.

Although it is not on the bright side, the family will not directly hate Zhao Tai, and will continue to maintain the balance of the game with Zhao Tai, leaving Zhao Tai for a longer time.

He needs time, but he doesn't need the time.

At this turbulent time, Zhao Tai quietly left Puwu and appeared in the Black Mountain.

"Master, why are you returning to Montenegro at this time? Just because of the news that the arsenal has been built?"

You Kan and Zhao Tai rode on the road to the core of Montenegro. Compared with when they left Montenegro, the road has not changed much. At most, the reason for the trampled ground has become much more solid.

"Do you know why this official has the confidence to sell iron farm tools, and dare to provide a special purchase channel for the aristocratic family?"

"Subordinates don't know."

Iron has always been a controlled product, but Zhao Tai dared to sell it with great fanfare. You Kan really couldn't figure it out.

In this way, wouldn't it make the aristocratic family bigger, and even have the conditions to form an army?

You Kan didn't understand, and sometimes he was even worried, for fear that someone would go into the government office out of his wits, or suddenly kill Zhao Tai while he was traveling.

"Because I'm not afraid that the aristocratic family bought farm tools and turned them into weapons, and I'm not afraid that they will make trouble, and I'm not afraid that they intend to destroy my Changshan County. The reason lies in the arsenal."

"Because of those steel black sticks?"

Before the barrel was processed, or even before the needle gun was made, it was indeed just a pile of black sticks. You Kan was not wrong.

"They are not black sticks, you will know when the time comes."

As the two walked along the way, they could see people reclaiming wasteland along the way. They used iron farm tools much earlier than outside.

At the end of the road, after leaving the forest, Zhao Tai felt suddenly enlightened, as if he had come to a county town.

It's just that the sound of reading is the most common in this county, as well as the sound of construction that never stops.

The arsenal was built, but the houses and the school were not yet completed, and this was not where the arsenal was located.
