Su Yunxi's robe is very loose, and her figure cannot be seen on the surface.
But when Zhao Shan reached out to hug her, he felt the slenderness of Su Yunxi's waist. Under physical contact, Zhao Shan keenly judged that Su Yunxi's figure was so hot that it was at least difficult to hold with one hand.
Su Yunxi's body suddenly froze.
She just thought that the two sides would become enemies, and finally met a person who was attracted to her heart. When they parted, they kissed her to fulfill her unfinished promise.
Why were you hugged suddenly?
Why is it so fierce?
Su Yunxi was overwhelmed by Zhao Shan's demands after their lips touched.
Two figures entangled.
Su Yunxi's body suddenly stiffened, and she felt the loss of privacy on her chest. She suddenly shuddered and came to her senses completely. Su Yunxi pushed hard with both hands, shook her body away from Zhao Shan, took two steps back and stood still as if fleeing from danger.
Su Yunxi's face turned red with embarrassment, and her heart was beating fast.
After several breaths, Su Yunxi recovered slightly and said softly: "Sir, I'm rude to you."
Zhao Shan regained his composure.
He didn't mention what happened just now at all. If he didn't mention it at this time, Su Yunxi would not be embarrassed and would naturally pretend to be an ostrich.
Zhao Shan asked: "Miss Su is a fair lady, are you willing to stay in Luoyang?"
"no!"
Su Yunxi regained her composure.
When she thought about the positions of both parties, it was as if a basin of water had been poured on her body on a cold day and her heart felt chilly. Her position determined that it was impossible to fall to the court.
Su Yunxi's expression returned to coldness, and she cupped her hands and said, "Mr. Zhao, please go slowly without seeing me off."
Zhao Shan simply said: "Farewell!"
After saying that, Zhao Shan walked out of the backyard and left with Shen Yuanqing who was guarding outside.
Su Yunxi looked at the direction in which Zhao Shan was leaving, and waited until his back completely disappeared from sight for a long time before returning to the room feeling lost.
For the first time in more than twenty years, she was moved by love and even had the idea of getting married.
Unfortunately, we cannot control the situation.
Su Yunxi was silent for a long time and then ordered: "Whoever comes, please tell Xiong Er to come."
The maid went to inform. After a while, Xiong Er, the shopkeeper of Hefengtang in Luoyang, came in, bowed and said, "What do you want me to do, young lady?"
Su Yunxi ordered: "We are being targeted by the imperial court and cannot delay any longer. We must disrupt the food prices in the market as soon as possible. You can further lower the food prices and bring them down. Then we can buy large quantities of Luoyang's food and hide it all for hoarding." good."
"As you command!"
Xiong Er answered quickly.
He is an old man of the Su family and was promoted by Su Yunxi. He is very obedient. After Xiong Er went to make arrangements, in the shortest time, the price of Hefengtang's grain was reduced to two and a half cents per catty.
Such a price is simply refreshing in Luoyang City, and it is so cheap that business is very good, and people come to buy in an endless stream.
When selling grain in Hefengtang, Luoyang grain merchants were helpless.
Everyone knows that He Fengtang is very wealthy.
If He Fengtang does this, it will be difficult for everyone to do business. Although many businessmen are resentful, they are just waiting and watching.
Zhao Shan and Shen Yuanqing returned to the imperial city and heard the news about He Fengtang.
Zhao Shan looked at Shen Yuanqing and asked: "Shen Qing, Hefengtang further reduces the price, what do you think we should do?"
Shen Yuanqing said without hesitation: "Since Hefengtang cannot be raided, let's start a price war. If Su Yunxi lowers the price, we will also lower the price. Anyway, there is enough food. Even if Su Yunxi has food from Hefengtang and Zhao Rui's people support the food, there will be no Our confidence.”
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "That's inappropriate!"
Shen Yuanqing frowned and said: "If we don't fight a price war to suppress Hefengtang, Luoyang's grain price market will be in chaos."
Zhao Shan said calmly: "A price war will disrupt the grain price market in Luoyang. This strategy is not good. We will adopt the method of purchasing Hefengtang grain in large quantities."
"Businessmen don't take this method because Hefengtang is rich and has a lot of food and a solid foundation."
"Ordinary businessmen cannot disturb He Feng Tang."
"But we are different. The imperial court has enough money to purchase large quantities. In addition, if you continue to spread the word, the imperial court will not allow food prices to be chaotic, and will arrange for people to purchase the grain from Hefengtang."
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "When merchants notice the court's arrangements, they will no longer worry and will buy Hefengtang's grain in large quantities to earn the price difference. Su Yunxi's grain cannot sustain it."
Shen Yuanqing had a second thought.
Indeed!
Why should the price be reduced according to Su Yunxi's pace? It’s most appropriate to take a step under the influence and buy up all his food.
Shen Yuanqing praised: "Your Majesty is right, I will make arrangements immediately."
Zhao Shan said: "Go."
There was a look of expectation in his eyes. To capture Su Yunxi, he had to completely defeat Su Yunxi's He Feng Tang.
Strength is the basis of everything.
Without the support of strength, nothing can be done.
To negotiate or instigate rebellion, Su Yunxi must be denied any chance and left with no other options.
After Shen Yuanqing made the arrangements, the government and grain merchants in Luoyang responded quickly and purchased Hefengtang's grain on a large scale.
Although Hefengtang sells at reduced prices, its daily grain sales are only about 10,000 kilograms per day. After Luoyang businessmen and officials intervened, sales increased rapidly and consumption was very high.
Su Yunxi was quite surprised to get the news.
Under normal circumstances, businessmen know that Hefengtang has sufficient foundation and deep background, so they will not waste money to buy food because they cannot beat Hefengtang.
Things have changed now.
Somewhat unexpected.
Su Yunxi calmed down and continued the sales step by step.
On the next day, 300,000 catties were sold, but Su Yunxi didn't panic. Five hundred thousand catties were sold the next day, and Su Yunxi was a little nervous.
On the third day, 1.8 million catties were sold, and there were so many orders that Su Yunxi was shocked and even panicked.
Su Yunxi called the shopkeeper Xiong Er and asked, "Shopkeeper Xiong, why do you sell so many?"
Xiong Er explained: "There is news that the government will not let the price of grain fall and will intervene. Just like this, a large number of Luoyang businessmen have purchased grain, and the government seems to be buying in large quantities."
Su Yunxi frowned, his eyes serious as never before.
If faced with ordinary grain merchants, Su Yunxi would not be afraid at all without government intervention. She had full confidence in keeping grain prices down.
Now, Su Yunxi is not sure.
Su Yunxi was silent for a while and then ordered: "Go down first and let me think about it."
Xiong Er turned around and retreated.
Su Yunxi looked up at the sky with complicated eyes and murmured: "Zhao Hao, are you working behind the scenes?"
After muttering to herself, Su Yunxi's eyes turned stubborn again. She could not give in, otherwise all her work would be in vain.
Su Yunxi chose to persevere. Another day passed and Xiong Er came to Su Yunxi's side again.
Xiong Er was completely panicked.
He looked horrified and said dejectedly: "Girl, we have ordered three million kilograms of grain today. We haven't even sent out the grain we ordered before. Our food can hardly hold it anymore. According to the current situation, at most There will be no food in three days."
Su Yunxi's straight waist suddenly slumped down.
I can't hold it any longer!
Su Yunxi looked helpless and ordered: "Go down, I want to be quiet."
Xiong Er hesitated to speak and left anyway, leaving Su Yunxi alone in the yard.
Just at this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and the maid came in, saluted and said: "Miss, Mr. Zhao Hao wants to see you."
"please!"
Su Yunxi ordered.
There was a trace of joy in her eyes, but the joy was replaced by sadness.
Zhao Hao must be here for the price of food.
After a while, Zhao Shan entered the yard and saw that Su Yunxi was much haggard. He said softly: "Yunxi, you have lost a lot of weight these days."
Su Yunxi trembled and said resentfully: "You manipulated the merchants to purchase Hefengtang's grain in large quantities, right?"
Zhao Shan sat down and said with a smile: "If you don't completely defeat He Feng Tang, you won't be able to see the reality clearly, and you will always have luck. In fact, He Feng Tang has no chance in Luoyang."
Su Yunxi asked: "Why?"
Zhao Shan replied: "If you come to Luoyang with a lot of money and want to buy large quantities of grain, causing a food shortage in Luoyang, the court will allocate all the grain and supply it in unlimited quantities until you can't eat anymore!"
"If you buy them all, you won't be able to transport them away. The food must be in the Luoyang area."
"If you have a large amount of grain and want to lower the price of grain in Luoyang first, and then buy a large amount of grain to drive up the price, the court will directly buy a large amount of grain. This is the situation now."
"In a word, if the imperial court is Luoyang's backing, you won't be able to hold on."
Zhao Shan smiled and said: "We have fought, do you want to continue fighting? You are destined to fail in Luoyang."
Su Yunxi glanced at Zhao Shan angrily and said resentfully, "You're the only one bullying me."
Zhao Shan continued: "It's not bullying you. It's because the court has not attacked Zhao Rui for the time being. It's not that it's not strong enough, it's because it wants to restore the place first. When the foundation is solid, Zhao Rui will be wiped out. Yunxi, it's time to make a decision. The Su family is tied to There is no way out for Zhao Rui."
A trace of helplessness appeared on Su Yunxi's charming face.
The imperial court is too powerful.
Su Yunxi stared at Zhao Shan again, and her mind went through all the details of her meeting with Zhao Shan, as well as Zhao Shan's style of doing things.
Her eyes were bright and she suddenly said: "Young master is definitely not Shen Yuanqing's subordinate. Who are you? I have asked people to investigate. Zhao Hao seems to have appeared out of nowhere. Apart from Luoyang West Market and the Northern Wei Dynasty, there is no news."
Zhao Shan asked: "Really want to know?"
"think!"
Su Yunxi answered without hesitation.
Zhao Shan smiled softly and replied: "I am the Emperor of Daqian."
