The Three Kingdoms

Sun Quan squinted his amber eyes, a gleam of light flickered in them, and said, "If the information is correct, Danyang Haoqiang leads the family, should it be the Yuanling Li family?"

"Ok!"

Mi Zhu nodded, and said, "It is because of the Li family's price reduction that all local powerful families started to reduce their prices. This is a weathervane family of local powerful families."

"The old head of the Li family is so courageous!"

Sun Quan looked a little serious, and said: "Knowing that the price of food can't be suppressed, he will not hesitate to cut meat and exchange the price for customers. This price war is the most exciting time. He wants to fight us head-on. Let's see who can win." Take control of Danyang's grain signboard in the future."

"Then what should we do now?" Mi Zhu asked with serious eyes after hearing this.

"Since the fight has already started, we have to carry it on anyway, and we can't let them take back Danyang's customers!" Sun Quan said coldly: "We want to take control of the grain, so we will continue to lower prices. The richest people in Jiangdong gathered by the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce Merchants, if we can't even compete with them in financial resources, we don't have to try to stand firm in Jiangdong!"

"I understand!"

Mi Zhu's eyes brightened, he nodded, and said.

On July 270, the price of good grain in Danyang has fallen to 260 yuan, on July 250, [-] yuan, and on July [-], [-] yuan.

On July 250th, in the markets around Danyang, some of the best grains have fallen for [-] yuan a stone.

On the morning of July 230, Sun Quan ordered all merchants in Danyang of the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce: "Immediately let all the merchants who control the grain sell all the grain in their hands, and the price of grain must be reduced to [-] yuan a stone."

According to Sun Quan's order, in less than three days, the price of grain was finally reduced, and the price of the grain will fluctuate around 220 yuan.

Sun Quan's last blow completely confused all the powerful local families and made them feel uneasy. They felt that the food controlled by the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce was endless.

At this price, they couldn't keep it.

"Zizhong, starting tomorrow, all merchants will start harvesting, and do their best to collect grain!"

When the price of grain in Danyang was miserable, Sun Quan began to take the second step of the price war.

"Take it?" Mi Zhu didn't understand.

"We have to raise the price of grain, Danyang can't be messed up, or the county guard's government will treat us badly." Sun Quan sneered, and explained: "And at this time, buying is equal to buying at a low price. The money we lost should be recovered.”

……

In Danyang County Governor's Mansion, Wu Jing's body knelt quietly and sat on the seat. He has been in Danyang for several years and has developed a high official authority. Every move makes the people below look a little oppressive.

"Ziling, what's the price of grain in various places?" Wu Jing asked, looking at the county magistrate beside him.

"The 220 yuan that has already been pressed, and the [-] yuan that the corn has gone to, the governor, I have been in Jiangdong for decades, and the food in Jiangdong has never been so worthless." Danyang Juncheng is a [-]-year-old The young man, let down from the general's mansion last year, a scholar from a poor family, Chen Pu, he said with a sigh.

"Zhongmou is really ruthless!"

There was a hint of horror in Wu Jing's eyes.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Quan sent a letter a few days ago, saying that we can do it." Chen Pu, the prefect of the county, reported in a low voice.

"Then let's get started!" Wu Jingjing nodded, and said, "It's such a big bargain, if you don't pick it up for nothing, now the soldiers on the front line also need food. Such a great opportunity must be grasped. The 300 people sent by the General's Mansion Thousands of dollars, plus the current coins of the Sheriff's Mansion, began to go all out to buy the grain in the hands of the powerful."

The Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce did not complete this food price war alone. The Sheriff's Office not only stood by at the critical moment, but also added fuel to the fire.

That's because the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce once promised that they would use the lowest price to buy the grain in the hands of Danyang Haoqiang, and the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce would give [-] shi of grain to the Sheriff's Mansion for nothing.

The Sheriff's Office is the biggest winner.

"My subordinates understand!"

Jun Cheng Chen Pu's eyes lit up, he nodded immediately, and said respectfully.

--------------

As the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce and the County Sheriff's Office spent a lot of money to counter-purchase grain, the wind direction of the markets in Danyang began to change. No one suppressed the price of grain, but the price of grain continued to rise.

The local powerful families who had been beaten up before were too insensitive to the market to react at all, and they had too much food in their hands, so they had to cash out.

"230 bucks a stone!"

"240 bucks a stone!"

"260 bucks a stone!"

……

It wasn't until the end of July that Danyang's tyrants realized that it was the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce and the County Guard's Mansion who bought their grain with big hands. At this time, the price of grain in Danyang rose to [-] yuan per stone.

This battle has come to an end.

The Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce and the Danyang County Shoufu won a big victory, and the local tycoons in Danyang suffered a lot. From the initial strong purchase, they were sold at a low price in the end. The price difference between them caused them heavy losses.

They lost, and what they lost was not just money, but influence. This battle gave the Jiangdong Chamber of Commerce a prestige in terms of food, and the food in Danyang was no longer within the control of local powerful families like them.

[Text Chapter 251 Jiang Qin's Defeat]

In the fifth year of Chuping, in Jiangdong in July, during the rainy season, there were several days of continuous torrential rain, and the water levels of rivers and lakes continued to rise.

On this day, in the torrential rain, on the stormy Poyang Lake, the formations of the two sides fought, and the battleships were interspersed, and the arrows were densely packed. You come and go, murderous. .

The water battle between the Jingzhou Navy and the Jiangdong Navy is in full swing. It can be seen from the battlefield that the Jiangdong Navy in Poyang Lake has been surrounded by tens of thousands of Jingzhou Navy.

"General, Jiasan, Jiaseven, Jia[-], Ding[-], Dingsan, these warships have been sunk by the enemy, and our battle formation can no longer be formed."

"General, the T-shaped battleship failed to break through and was forced to retreat!"

"General, the road behind us is also blocked by enemy warships!"

……

On the deck of a fighting ship, Jiang Qin was wearing a silver battle armor, his eyes were a little red, he looked at the battleships under his command, one after another was shot down and captured by the enemy. The voice is constantly shouting, commanding.

"Proceed with the order to gather all the warships. They cannot be allowed to make dumplings and retreat, all retreat, and retreat to Xiaowankou!"

Jiang Qin knew that he had to hold his breath now. Since he joined the Jiangdong Navy, Jiang Qin had always been smooth sailing and had never lost a single defeat. This was Jiang Qin's first defeat, and it was a big defeat. Less than [-]%.

"promise!"

On the sky, heavy rain like thunder poured down, and on the lake, there were waves of water shaking the sky. At this time, the soldiers of Jiangdong Navy, when it was time to desperately, regardless of the heavy rain, drew their bows and fired arrows at the crenel. , while commanding his warship to withdraw from the range of the enemy's warship, retreating while fighting.

"Chase, chase!"

"It's hard to stop them, we can't let them escape!"

However, the Jingzhou Navy was in hot pursuit and surrounded the warships of the Jiangdong Navy in the middle. Chaisang and Jiangxia are adjacent. If you encounter it, you will start fighting.

However, when Jiangxia's navy met Jiangdong's navy, they never had the upper hand and were always beaten. With such a good opportunity, the Jingzhou army became excited.
