Back to the Warring States Period as Zhao Kuo

; What the two said is very true. ;

;Yes, we really need to protect ourselves well, so that we can wait until the day when the Great Han Kingdom perishes! ;

; Today's linen is not the end, we still need to create more crises within the Han Kingdom! ;

;Yes, yes, only more crises can disintegrate the Great Han Kingdom sooner! ;

Obviously, these people present have formed a consensus.

The leader, Tiger, nodded in satisfaction when he saw this, and then raised the wine glass in his hand: "Everyone, today's conditions are limited, so everyone in our Restoration Conference can only gather in secret.But, the old man is looking forward to the day in the future, when we have recovered all the seven vassal states, and then we will come to the palace with the members of the Restoration Congress to have a drink and talk openly! ;

It turned out that all the people present were members of an organization called "Fuhui", and it was not difficult to hear from their language that their goal was to overthrow the Han Dynasty and rebuild the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period!

After hearing the tiger's words, other people also raised their wine glasses one after another: "In order to restore the Seven Kingdoms!" ;;Long live the recovery! ;; Destroy this bullshit guy! ;

All drank it down.

After putting down his wine glass, Tiger said with a satisfied smile: "Then, our goal is very simple, which is to continue to purchase and hoard linen."Remember, don’t sell a single piece of linen. We just want to make the price of linen in this market higher and higher, so high that all the common people in the imperial capital will hate this damn Han government. until! ;

The tiger's words were full of the pleasure of succeeding in his scheme!

Chapter 1172 The True Productivity of the Steam Engine (Fourth Change)

Zhao Qian found Zhao Kuo with a face full of shame.

"Reporting to my father, I really can't solve this matter, so I ask my father to punish me." ;

Seeing Zhao Qian in front of him and Zhao Zheng kneeling behind Zhao Qian, Zhao Kuo put down the memorial in his hand, looking quite calm.

; What is the specific matter, you two should talk to me carefully. ;

With shame on his face, Zhao Qian explained the ins and outs of the matter to Zhao Kuo one by one.

After Zhao Kuo finished listening, there was no angry expression on his face, but he nodded slightly and spoke lightly.

;Didn't I already tell you?It is very likely that someone is playing tricks behind this incident. ;

After Zhao Qian heard this sentence, he was stunned for a moment.

Although Zhao Kuo had indeed reminded him at the beginning, Zhao Qian really didn't think about it because he had already devoted himself to this event.

After a few seconds, Zhao Qian couldn't help but said: "Who on earth is so bold that he wants to fight against the emperor?" ;

Zhao Kuo smiled slightly, and said very calmly: "You have to know that our Great Han Kingdom has conquered all the mountains and rivers in the past two years, so there are indeed many guys in this world who wish that our Great Han Kingdom will perish immediately." ;

While speaking, Zhao Kuo also stood up and walked outside. Zhao Qian and Zhao Zheng subconsciously followed Zhao Kuo's pace.

Zhao Kuo walked out of the main hall, glanced at Zhao Qian and Zhao Zheng who were still behind him, and then said lightly: "In fact, the problems you two encountered have already been reported to me. Waiting for you to come here is not to suppress you, but to let you know that this is the real situation we are facing in the Great Han Kingdom.

Although our current country is very vast and powerful, it does not mean that there are no worries at all.Many people hope to return to the time when the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period stood side by side, because at that time they were the ones who succeeded in the highest power.

If I guessed correctly, the so-called cloth crisis should be caused by these people. ;

After listening to Zhao Kuo's words, Zhao Qian and Zhao Zheng just woke up like a dream. The two looked at each other, and at the same time, the shock and fear that hadn't appeared for a long time appeared in their hearts.

But Zhao Qian immediately came back to his senses, and said with a very firm expression: "If it is really what these remnants of the Seven Kingdoms did, then I promise my father that no matter how long it takes, I will definitely do it." Bring these people to justice! ;

For Zhao Qian, he is the prince of the Han Dynasty and the future supreme ruler of the Han Dynasty.

But if you think that Zhao Qian is a very kind person just because of his name, then it is somewhat wrong.

For Zhao Qian, he has already accepted Zhao Kuo's influence, and all he thinks in his heart is how to make the Great Han Kingdom a higher level and become a more powerful and prosperous country.

Needless to say, it is absolutely impossible for these people who created the cloth crisis to make Zhao Qian's goal successful, so what Zhao Qian has to do is to completely destroy these damned people who stand in the way.

Zhao Kuo looked at Zhao Qian with a satisfied light in his eyes.

If the ruler of a country only knows benevolence, then it is definitely not enough.

Kill when it's time to kill, and reward when it's time to reward. Only when you can do both kindness and power can you be a truly qualified ruler.

Although Zhao Qian looks quite young now and has little experience, judging from his statement, she is actually on a very correct path.

As Zhao Qian's father and guide, all Zhao Kuo needs to do is to lead Zhao Qian to continue walking on this correct path.

Zhao Kuo said lightly: "You two come with me, and I will take you to a place to have a look." ;

After more than an hour, Zhao Kuo's emperor drove to a manor outside the imperial capital.

Zhao Qian and Zhao Zheng didn't know why Zhao Kuo brought them to this place. When they got off the carriage, they all had very curious expressions on their faces, because they knew that this place should be the key to Zhao Kuo's desire to get rid of the mastermind behind the scenes. where.

But the question is what kind of method Zhao Kuo can use to solve these behind-the-scenes masterminds?

At this moment, Zhao Qian seemed to have thought of something, but he was not sure.

Zhao Kuo glanced at Zhao Qian, showed a meaningful smile, and then walked directly into the manor.

As soon as they entered the manor, Zhao Qian and Zhao Zheng were surprised again.

From the outside, it looked like a manor, but after entering the manor, it was discovered that it had actually been completely transformed into a factory.

A huge factory building stands here, and there are many workers who are constantly carrying things in.

Not only that, but you can also see a huge roar in the factory buildings, and there are puffs of smoke coming out of the top of these factories.

Zhao Qian looked at Zhao Kuan in surprise. At this moment, the thought in his heart finally became a reality, so he couldn't help but speak.

"Father, is this the steam engine textile factory?" ;

Zhao Kuo glanced at Zhao Qian with a smile, nodded and said: "It seems that you are not stupid, let's go, go in and have a look, let you see what kind of power the steam engine textile factory has." ;

The three of them quickly walked into the textile factory of the steam engine.

Hundreds of steam engines have already started running here, and many workers are walking back and forth among the steam engines, busy, carrying finished products, and continuously feeding those raw materials into the textile machines driven by the steam engines middle.

Zhao Kuo didn't speak, and took the two children to the warehouse where the finished products were being stored, and said lightly: "Let's take a look, what kind of power can be erupted by this steam engine textile!" ;

Zhao Qian and Zhao Zheng were puzzled at first, then shocked immediately, and finally dumbfounded.

Under the watchful eyes of the two of them, the warehouse, which was quite empty at first, was filled up at a speed almost visible to the naked eye.

The workers in charge of moving the products were sweating profusely, and kept moving bolts of linen back and forth.

But even so, it is still unable to meet the high-efficiency power of the steam engine, because the combination of the steam engine and the textile machine is now considered to be a 20 version. come.

Zhao Kuo calmly said to Zhao Qian and Zhao Zheng in front of him: "Now you should know how to defeat these master messengers behind the scenes, right?" ;

Zhao Zheng came back to his senses and wanted to speak, but he closed his mouth again, and looked at Zhao Qian.

Zhao Zheng knew very well that in the future Han Dynasty, he was just a courtier, so Zhao Qian still had to be given some chances to perform.

Zhao Qian's thinking is not slow, and he has already thought clearly at this time, and immediately said excitedly: "With the astonishing output of the steam engine, we can produce enough cloth in a short period of time." , and then put these cloths into the market, then the cloth price in the entire market can be quickly brought back to normal. ;

Zhao Zheng added something unhurriedly at this time, and said: "Since those behind-the-scenes masters want to raise the price of cloth auspiciously, then they will definitely buy a large amount of cloth at this time, and the cloth at this time Leather is a high price, and they need to spend a lot of money to support it.

In other words, as long as the price of non-leather is low to a certain extent, then their high-priced cloth will not be sold at all, and they will lose everything! ;

After Zhao Kuo heard the words of these two children, he also showed a smile, nodded and said: "That's the reason, now you two should understand what is a really useful method?" ;

Whether it is Zhao Qian or Zhao Zheng, this time they all nodded in convincing, and said in unison: "The advancement of science and technology is the most effective means!" ;

Zhao Kuo laughed out loud.

That night, an order from the imperial palace was immediately sent to the imperial palace, and then spread throughout the streets and alleys of the imperial capital in the form of an official uniform notice.

The above actually conveyed a very simple message, that is, I hope that the common people in the imperial capital will not panic because of the short-term price fluctuations of cloth. After a month, the price of cloth will soon become normal.

Not to mention, after this notice was posted, the mood of the common people in the imperial capital has indeed stabilized a lot. The sales of those very expensive cloths have basically been completely cut off for a while, and it can be said that there are few people.

At this point in time, the people in the imperial capital, as the citizens of the capital of the Han Kingdom, were instinctively in awe of the emperor Zhao Kuo and the government of the Han Kingdom.

And this announcement, of course, immediately attracted the attention of those in the Restoration Congress.

So on the second night after the notice was posted, another secret gathering took place in the secret room of the mansion before the Restoration Congress.

It was still the leader of the Restoration Congress wearing a tiger mask, and said in a calm tone: "As for the cloth-related announcement that was posted yesterday, if you have any opinions, you can speak freely." ;

Immediately after the tiger finished speaking, some people expressed their opinions in a rush.

;We have now been noticed by the government, which is definitely not good news. ;

;Now that the purpose of raising the cloth and causing popular discontent has been achieved, I think maybe we can stop here and sell all the linen we have hoarded. ;

"That's right, that's right, in this way, we will become those good businessmen who are willing to support the government as the emperor said, and Nightingale will probably not find us." ;

Obviously, for some people in the Restoration Congress, they are very afraid of being noticed by the power of the government. After all, it is the government that has wiped out their former country.

So after learning that their actions had been discovered by the government, they instinctively wanted to stop and look for another opportunity.

But the problem is that not all members of the Restoration Council think so.

The middle-aged man with the fox mask snorted, and said very dissatisfied: "Now is the critical moment of the plan. If we say that we stop at this time, then the people will be against the Han Kingdom in the future." Is the government more convinced?

In this way, we have manipulated the price of cloth for so many days in vain, but instead increased the prestige of the government. It is simply too stupid. We must not give in at this time? ;

Many people agree with what the fox said.

"That's right. Although Zhao's government noticed the price of the cloth, it didn't say in the announcement that it was manipulating the price. What does this mean? It means that they didn't find us." ;

;Even if they found us, so what?We can still collect all the cloth in our hands, at most it means that we don't continue to buy cloth. ;

"That's right, even if there are really so many raw materials on the market now, what can he use to produce a huge amount of cloth in a short period of time?" ;

"Even if you give him a month, with such a huge cloth gap in the Imperial Capital, it is absolutely impossible for one month's production to meet such a large demand. ;

"He, Zhao Kuo, was indeed able to win battles, but why could he produce so much cloth in a month?" ;

;We just need to be more cautious, it is absolutely impossible for others to notice our existence. ;

After some quarrels, it was clear that the faction that advocated the continuation of the confrontation clearly had the upper hand.

The leader Tiger coughed, stopped everyone's quarrel, and said lightly: "To be honest, if we continue to act, it is true that some people may be exposed, but in this situation we have nothing to do." Stop, because if you stop at this time, the real role it can play is to help the government and Zhao Kuo.

Therefore, the old man thinks that we should continue to act. On the one hand, we don’t need to continue to purchase linen. We only need to spread various rumors in the market to incite the public’s dissatisfaction with the government.

On the other hand, we also need to hide the linen in our hands so as not to be discovered by the government, otherwise the crime will be very serious and our identity will definitely be exposed.

As long as these two points can be done well, even if the government has a month to make amends, the linen in their hands must be relatively limited.

When they sell a large amount of linen after a month, we will try to eat up all the linen in their hands as before. At that time, the price of linen will be pushed even higher by us, and the public Dissatisfaction with official uniforms will also become more serious.

You must know that one month later is the time promised by the government. Once the government cannot solve this problem within the promised time, the prestige of the government will be completely lost.

At that time, we will truly win, understand! ;

When Tiger spoke, his tone was full of desire for victory and confidence.

Chapter 1173 Fierce cloth price war (fifth change)

A month passed like this.

For the ordinary people in the imperial capital, they are still more willing to believe the government's statement. After all, they don't have much better way than to believe it.

However, the performance in the market is another matter.

In this month's time, there have been many rumors.

These rumors are various and miscellaneous, but without exception, they all want to explain one point, that is, the government actually does not have the power to control the price of linen after a month, but only uses a delaying tactic.

The reason why the government will use the strategy of delaying the army is because the government believes that after a month, the demand and supply of linen will be greatly improved, and when the time comes, some of the goods raised by the government will be enough. Move the entire price level to the normal level.

Since many people think that this is just a scam of official uniforms, they obviously won't believe this scam.

So these people will quietly continue to buy linen in the market, and sell these linen at a higher price.

Even if the linen with a higher price cannot be sold for a while, those who bought the linen are not worried at all.

Because among those who have bought linen, it seems that no matter who you are, as long as you still want to wear clothes, then linen is the cheapest and affordable choice for you, so everyone needs to buy linen.

Since everyone just needs linen, what is there to worry about?

Of course, Zhao Qian would know about this situation. During this period of time, Zhao Qian was still receiving various studies on the surface, but he was most concerned about this matter in his heart.

Zhao Qian's assistant, Zhao Zheng, also commented on this.

;These cloth speculators are crazy to drive up the price of cloth, and they will be taught a lesson sooner or later. ;

Yes, because the price of cloth leather is too exaggerated these days, a new term was born——fried cloth.

Zhao Qian also nodded solemnly after hearing this sentence, and said in a very unhappy way: "The government has already issued a notice, I hope everyone will not continue to raise the price of cloth during this period, but these guys If they frantically fry cloth for their own selfishness, if they are unlucky, they deserve it! ;

For these cloth speculators, Zhao Qian has no good feelings at all. After all, these guys just made it clear that they don't listen to the government and only care about their own interests. If they lose everything, it can only be applauded.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qian couldn't help but look forward to it, because tomorrow is the one-month deadline.
