With Liu Deng's full support, Yuan Qing was extremely excited.
For the soldiers of Modao Army, they are already familiar with the power of the firearms battalion.
Moreover, this was not the first time that the two parties had cooperated. Now that he heard that Liu Deng had assigned him a firearms battalion, Yuan Qing was overjoyed.
"There are many mosquitoes in Lingnan, and the conditions may be more difficult, but please remember clearly. I will not let the soldiers suffer in vain. After you get there, you must organize training as soon as possible. If there are changes in Lingnan, I hope you will It can become the sharpest sword in my hand!"
After all, he was asked to endure hardships, so Liu Deng still had to give him some encouragement.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general will know about it!"
"Okay, you go down and rest first. Zhang Zihuan should arrive in a day or two. When he arrives, you two can set off directly!"
"promise!"
After sending Yuan Qing away, Liu Deng finally felt a little calmer. The dispatch of troops to Lingnan had finally begun, and he didn't know what the layout of Lingnan was like now.
But at this moment, the entire Lingnan has turned into a mess.
Although I have experienced the hype of licorice before, this thing is different from other things, it is a necessity of life.
Licorice can be said to be the most versatile medicinal material.
In less than a few months, the licorice stocks in major pharmacies and major merchants in Lingnan have disappeared.
The Han Dynasty directly cut off the supply of licorice. Three kings, including Zhao Tuo, protested several times in succession, but all failed.
Their memorials didn't even reach Emperor Jing's desk, but were sent back by Shen Tujia.
And not only that, the Prime Minister's Office also issued formal documents to the King of Changsha, the King of Chu, and the King of Lujiang through formal channels.
Strictly investigate all caravan smuggling on the border with the Three Kingdoms of Lingnan. Anyone who dares to commit crimes or sells licorice privately will be severely punished.
As soon as this decree came out, the three countries in Lingnan immediately cried out.
Not only ordinary people, but also the princes and ministers are now secretly hoarding licorice in their hands.
Originally it was just the most common Chinese herbal medicine, but now the price of this thing is directly higher than gold due to their speculation.
However, even so, there is still a price but no market.
This made Zhao Tuo feel depressed. He had already sent troops to investigate the matter, but the final result was nothing.
All the manpower they had found before, now all the clues were lost.
Those people were like mud cows entering the sea, and suddenly there was no trace at all.
Zhao Tuo has been in power for so many years and is not a fool. Of course he understands that there must be a huge network of connections behind this matter.
In South Vietnam, there are really very few people who can do this.
The biggest suspect is, of course, the current Prime Minister Lu Jia.
However, Lu Jia's power in South Vietnam was truly overwhelming.
Even if Zhao Tuo wanted to touch him, he had to carefully consider whether he was strong enough.
"General Manager, the price of this licorice has gone crazy. Do you think we should..."
After all, these licorice have been in their hands for several months, and so far, just storing them has cost a lot of money.
The weather in Lingnan is humid. If these things are not taken care of carefully, they will all become moldy in a short time.
And the current price is so attractive that even Mr. Qin is a little tempted now.
"Don't worry, just keep it like this! If you really can't save it, it's okay to burn it on fire!"
Zhao Wengu said casually while drinking tea.
"General manager, the price of licorice is now comparable to gold, let's just burn it..."
Mr. Qin had a look of reluctance, and if he said it didn't hurt, he would definitely be lying.
According to the current market conditions, no matter how much licorice they have on hand. They will all be swallowed up by those people, and all of them are at high prices.
As long as you flip it over easily, you can get at least 5 million yuan in income from this thing.
"Don't forget, if this thing stays in our hands, it's money. If you put it out, it won't be worth anything!"
Zhao Wengu's light words immediately made Mr. Qin thoughtful.
"We are hoarding these things in our own hands, and the supply is cut off in the market. That's why so many people are willing to go bankrupt to buy them. But if you release them all, the price of licorice will only return to the original price. superior!"
After hearing what Zhao Wengu said, Mr. Qin immediately calmed down.
"I understand somewhat. What the general manager means is that what we want to create now is this kind of scarcity in the market!"
Mr. Qin said thoughtfully.
"That's right! There's no need to worry about the price rising. Anyway, the imperial court has already issued a decree. If they can't transport things from outside, the things in our hands will only become more and more valuable!"
Zhao Wengu's words sounded calm, but Mr. Qin fell into greater doubts.
"Then this thing can't be cashed in, so what are we going to do with it?"
This is Mr. Qin's biggest doubt. Zhao Wengu holds a large amount of licorice, which is almost equivalent to two-thirds of the amount of licorice held by the entire Lingnan Three Kingdoms.
However, she has never been willing to cash in these things. Instead, she has just sat back and watched the price of this thing continue to skyrocket.
And if you want to let it continue to appreciate, even if you burn it, you are unwilling to sell it. So what is the value of this kind of market scarcity?
"From the general manager! A letter from Jinyang!"
While the two were talking, a follower hurried in, holding a wax pill in his hand, and handed it to Zhao Wengu.
"It seems that the king has made a decision!"
Zhao Wengu said with a smile while taking apart the wax pills.
"I hope this is good news! Although this place is rich, the mosquitoes are really deadly..."
Mr. Qin couldn't help but smile and complain.
Zhao Wengu chuckled and said nothing, but began to read the contents of the letter on the wax pill carefully.
"The king means that we can start taking action!"
After reading the contents on the wax pill, Zhao Wengu let out a long breath.
"action?"
Mr. Qin was stunned.
Aren't they taking action now?
Could it be that there is a third layer to their plan?
"Don't you want to know how to use these licorice?"
Zhao Wengu smiled and then looked at Mr. Qin.
"What does the general manager mean?"
"Go get me the maps of our storage locations! Then, gather all the trustworthy people here!"
A sneer appeared on Zhao Wengu's lips. Since the king is ready, let the sky in Lingnan completely collapse!
