Transmigrated into the book to become the villain prince, the son of the plane to destroy

Lu Fei no longer wants to be the king of sea merchants anymore, he just wants to go home.

Because overnight, the price of everything he wanted to buy skyrocketed to almost the same as Zhongyuan's selling price, and there was no profit at all.

His accountant told him that if he bought a large number of Funan's special products at the new selling price, and counted other labor and other expenses, he would lose at least 10,000+ taels of silver this trip.

No normal businessman would do business at a loss, and Lu Fei was no exception. He specially sent people to search around the city of Poundsun, only to find out that it was the order of the King of Funan himself, and he believed that the products of Funan Kingdom were all first-class. The goods should not be sold at a low price, so they set a fixed price one by one. If the Funan country merchants dare to sell at a lower price than the fixed price, they will be punished by the government.Merchants in Funan Kingdom did not dare to disobey their orders, so they could only follow the king's wishes and raise the prices of all commodities to the prescribed prices.

Lu Fei suddenly fell into a dilemma. If it was just the merchants of Funan Kingdom who were ungrateful for their profits and took advantage of the situation to raise prices, there would still be room for maneuver, but now it is the decree issued by the monarch of Funan Kingdom, which means that the skyrocketing price is irreversible. It's over.

Undoubtedly, if he continues to purchase a large amount of special products from the Funan Kingdom, this trip to the Funan Kingdom will not only make little money, but will actually cost him a lot of money.

But if he sets sail now, leaves Funan Kingdom, and returns to the Central Plains, it will be difficult for him to explain to King Qi.

Thinking that King Qi had promised him that no matter what price they bought back these Nanyang specialties, the Tao family would increase the price and accept them all. Lu Fei finally gritted his teeth and decided to stay in Funan and continue to buy a large number of Funan at the new price. The special products of the southern country, anyway, no matter how much the loss is, the Tao family will take care of it. What is he afraid of?

A few days ago, he was still jealous of the Tao family, and climbed to the high branch of King Qi, and the king of Qi would hand over any good things that make money to the Tao family. Now he understands that there is no such thing as a good time, and it is all the Tao family before debts. Okay, the reason why the Ganqing Tao family was able to catch King Qi is because they have been silently bearing so many losses for King Qi.

For the Funan country alone, the Tao family would have to pay no less than 10,000+ taels of silver. If other Nanyang countries were added, the Tao family would lose at least one million taels of silver in total.

That is, the Tao family, if they were replaced by any other family, they would simply not be able to afford such a big loss.

What Lu Fei didn't know was that as he decided to stay in Funan to buy a large number of special products, almost all the people in Funan went crazy.

You must know that wood, spices, ivory, rhinoceros horn, and agarwood are rare items in the Central Plains, but although they are not found everywhere in Funan, it is not difficult to get these items.

Now the prices of these Funan country specialties have skyrocketed, but the merchants from the Central Plains are still willing to continue to purchase, which means that any citizen of Funan country, as long as they have a little way to get any of them and sell them to Ning country merchants, they can get a fortune. Fei's money is the amount that he can't earn by working hard for several years with his face on the loess and his back to the sky.

As a result, many people in Funan no longer had the heart to farm and weave, and the whole family, men, women, old and young, joined the battle and went everywhere to collect the special products needed by Ningguo merchants in exchange for money.

And just at this time, there was a rumor circulating in the entire Funan country, saying that Ningguo destroyed Linyi country, which was rich in rice, and discovered that Champa had a fine variety of rice, which was planted early, matured, drought-tolerant, fine-grained, and had a high yield. Quite high, Ningguo intends to migrate a large number of Han people to Linyiguo for intensive farming. With the advanced farming techniques of the Han people, the rice will inevitably be harvested every year. In this way, the rice will become worthless.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused uneasiness among the people of Funan Kingdom, because the vast majority of people in Funan Kingdom make a living by farming rice. For daily necessities, if rice really becomes worthless, it will still have a great impact on their normal life.

But the reaction of the market is the most real. Food prices have been falling all the way, and those nobles, landlords, and merchants have also begun to sell a large amount of food in their hands, which has caused a further drop in food prices, which has continued to aggravate the uneasiness of the people of Funan.

On the one hand, it is very profitable to search for special products, and on the other hand, it is frightening to continue farming. None of the people in Funan can sit still, and no one with land at home is willing to continue planting worthless rice. Instead, they grow nutmeg and other spices. , while the people without land went out with their families to search for the special products needed by Ningguo businessmen.

No one in the entire Funan country is willing to continue to work hard in the fields. Instead, many people have made a lot of money by collecting special products and selling them to Ningguo businessmen. They have lived a good life, which has driven more people to invest in this earning business. In the feast of big money.

There is no one in Funan who is willing to continue farming. Farming is not as fast as selling special products. Anyway, food will become worthless in the future. If they have money on hand, they will just spend money to buy it from other countries.After all, in Nanyang, the climate is hot, the land is fertile, the rivers are densely covered, and the rain is abundant. The most important thing is food.

When Lu Fei led a fleet full of Nanyang specialties and was about to leave Poundsun Port, a large number of Funan people went to the pier reluctantly to see them off, and they were eager to find out when these merchant ships from Ningguo would come again. From their point of view, these merchant ships are Gods of Wealth who have come to send money to the people of Funan.

Lu Fei's answer did not disappoint them. He followed Xiao Jie's prior instructions and loudly told the people of Funan that as soon as the fleet returned to Ning to unload the cargo, they would return immediately and continue to return to Funan to buy their special products. .

The people of Funan Kingdom felt relieved in an instant. It is good that these Ningguo merchant ships will continue to come back, because it means that their good life can continue. After a period of good life, they are not willing to continue to go to the past. It's the kind of day when you face the loess and your back to the sky.

Phnom Penh, the Royal Palace.

As soon as he heard the news that the Ningguo fleet had left Poundsun Port, Prime Minister Zhu Zheye hurried into the palace to report the matter to Monarch Li Baduo.

"Sir, the merchant ships of Ningguo merchants have left Kampson and returned to Ningguo."

"Okay, they are finally gone." Li Baduo was also very happy when he heard the news.

He obeyed Zhu Zheye's words and raised the prices of all the special products of Funan that Ningguo merchants wanted to buy, but he didn't expect that Ningguo merchants would not be affected much, and they still accepted all the orders.

Although he didn't understand why these Ningguo businessmen were willing to do business at a loss, Li Baduo was not polite, and made a lot of money from it, which enriched the treasury a lot.

Now that he heard that these Ningguo merchants had left, a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. After all, this matter was too unreasonable. These Ningguo merchants would not leave Funan Kingdom for a day, and he was always worried that something would happen to the money in the treasury.

"Minister of the State, now that the national treasury is full, it is time for us to attack the people of Chenla, and let them know what will happen if they betray our Funan Kingdom!"

With money in hand, Li Patuo also became complacent, with a little more ambition to expand his territory.

Zhu Zheye repeatedly nodded in agreement, and he also believed that now that Funan had enough money and food, it was time to completely wipe out the Chenla people in the north.
