The Three Kingdoms

In less than seven days, the price of food in Xudu has dropped below a freezing point, even for the newly harvested rice last year.It has also reached below the dividing line of two hundred renminbi, and the old rice has fallen below the one hundred renminbi.

Grain is the main item in the market. When the price of food falls, the prices of many items will also fall. When the price is chaotic, the market will also become chaotic.

In an ordinary house in Xudu, Li Nanduan, the left servant of the Eastern Wu Chaotang Commercial Department, sat beside a stone table in the courtyard, looking at the latest Xudu market survey in his hand, which was the change of the market price.

"It seems that the food in the Xudu market is almost swept away?"

He looked up and looked at a few of his men.asked.

"My lord, the grain stores are basically cleared now!" A young man stood up and replied respectfully.

"Now [-]% of the grain on the market has entered our granary!" Another subordinate added.

Lower the market price, and then take the opportunity to absorb the supply of goods.

This is the core of this price war.As long as the supply of food is controlled, the price of food can be controlled in their hands. If they say it is depreciated, it will be devalued, and if it is raised, it will be raised.

"After all, Yuzhou is Cao Wei's big granary, with a profound heritage. At this time, the grain of the entire Yuzhou should be concentrated in the market in Xudu. Order Yueshan Grain Store!"

Li Nan stood up, his gaze became sharper: "Starting tomorrow, raise the price of grain for me, and sell each hand. As high as the price is, I will raise it as high as possible. I will make the grain in Yuzhou as expensive as possible." People can eat rice!"

"promise!"

One of his subordinates nodded, and then went down to deliver the order.

Following Li Nan's order, Xu Capital City's grain prices seemed to be on a roller coaster. After falling below the freezing point, they suddenly began to rebound, and it seemed to rebound overnight.

"The price was low yesterday, why is this food so expensive today, [-] yuan per stone, it's too deceitful, let's buy it from another one!"

"This one is even more expensive, 420 yuan a stone!"

"What, you guys who sell grain as a grain store actually say that there is no grain?"

"Your grain store is out of grain?"

"what's up?"

With the lack of food, either the price is high or there is no food sales, the people in the whole city of Xudu City naturally start to panic.

Even grain merchants from all over Yuzhou began to panic.

At this time, the local powerful families in Yuzhou gathered together again.

"How is this going?"

All the Patriarchs looked gloomy, and one of them asked: "Why do I feel that someone is making trouble!"

"It's not a feeling, but someone is indeed making trouble!" The representative of the local powerful Yue family said coldly: "Don't you feel familiar with this scene?"

"It seems to have appeared in Jizhou back then!" Someone remembered.

"Soochow!"

"Economic warfare of merchants!"

A terrible idea appeared in the hearts of everyone, and they felt chills all over their bodies when they watched each other.

The battle of the merchants took place in Jizhou.

They have heard to some extent that in my battle back then, both merchants and local powerful family owners in Jizhou suffered serious casualties.

"I think we should report it to the court!" A Patriarch said in a low voice.

"Report to the court?"

One of them sneered and looked at everyone: "Don't forget. When the grain price was lowered, we also got involved. When the court asks us to lower the price, we can tell the court. We have no grain on hand." ?"

"What should I do?"

When everyone heard this, they suddenly panicked.

"But it won't work if it goes on like this!" Someone said: "If the food price in Xu Capital City can't be stabilized, it will soon affect the whole Yuzhou. At that time, there will be chaos in Yuzhou, and we can't escape the responsibility!"

"Let's do this. Let's use the grain from the cities of Yuzhou first, and try to suppress the entire grain price as much as possible!"

The Patriarch of the Yue Family said in a low voice with gloomy eyes.

These local tyrants in Yuzhou have a deep foundation and a strong background. Although the supply of goods in Xudu has been emptied, as long as they find a way, they can still dispatch food from all over Yuzhou to support here.

"The Yue Family Grain Store has food!"

"Wang's Grain Store also has grain. And the original price will be maintained!"

With the counterattack of the local tyrants, the food war in Yuzhou entered a climax. The battle in the market did not see gunpowder, but consumed a lot of coins and goods in seconds.

"I seem to underestimate these local tyrants!"

Li Nan, who is in charge of the current battle situation, smiled coldly: "Pass my order and tell the people of the Wu family that as much as other shops sell, they will immediately collect as much as possible, and let the market only have our grain as much as possible. And our price No change, I want to see who has more capital!"

"promise!"

When this grain price war entered the tenth day, the powerful local forces in Yuzhou were defeated magnificently.With nothing to return, they had to close their rice grain shops one by one.

"Five hundred dollars a stone, this is not eating gold!"

"It's almost 550. If you don't buy it today, it will be [-] yuan a stone tomorrow!"

"In a few days, I'm afraid it will be like Jizhou back then. Thousands of dollars and a stone!"

Without reinforcements from local tycoons, the price of food in Xudu was naturally pushed up to a sky-high price, which began to cause panic and dissatisfaction among the people.

Without food, it means that you cannot live.

Today's food prices are already so expensive that they can't survive. Xudu is a big city with a population of hundreds of thousands. When the food is in chaos, the whole city is in chaos.

The April sea breeze roared over the military camp on Yuzhou Mountain.

"Have you figured out the defense map of Cao Wei's navy in Laizhou Bay?" Junji Pavilion's second venerable Ju Yi Dama Jindao sat in the first place, looking at the sand table graphics in Laizhou Bay.

"It's still under investigation!"

He Qi replied in a deep voice: "Cai Mao has done a good job in this area of ​​information. The sea route in Laizhou Bay is very complicated. Our navy suffered a lot here back then!"

"Back then they defeated the big boat with a small boat, and the fight was just a sudden, but now they don't have this ability!"

Zhou Yu's eyes are sharp, and his expression is natural and full of confidence. This is his first battle after returning to the army. He will never allow any failure: "Although the terrain of Laizhou Bay is complicated, it is not impossible to break through!"
