"What? Tens of thousands? Why do they have so much cloth?"
The shopkeeper of Liu Ji Bufang changed his face when he heard this. He grabbed the clerk's shoulders and said urgently.
When the other waiters in the store saw this, they didn't dare to express their anger. They prayed in their hearts that when the shopkeeper got angry, he would never let his anger get to him.
The guy whose shoulder was grabbed by the shopkeeper felt a pain in his shoulder, but he couldn't care less about it at the moment. He quickly said: "Shopkeeper, I... I don't know! It is said that this morning, Mr. Cao They directly asked people to place a pile of coarse cloth outside the store, and the pile was like a mountain! I don't know how many pieces of cloth there are in total, but it looks like... at least there are tens of thousands of pieces. I'm afraid, I'm afraid. There are almost 100,000 horses, right?”
This is the power of Cao Wendong. He directly piled up part of the cloth in his hand, giving people a strong visual impact. He took out more than 20,000 pieces of cloth, but achieved the effect of 100,000 pieces of cloth, making others confused. How many trump cards do you have in your hand? There is a lot of psychological warfare in this.
The main reason for doing this is that Cao Wendong knew that the 50,000 pieces of coarse cloth he had on hand could not satisfy the appetite of the people in Li Zexuan's village. If he wanted to complete the task assigned by Li Zexuan, he must use some means!
The method he used was exactly what Li Zexuan wanted. Why was Li Zexuan so sure that Cao Wendong could stabilize the cloth price in Chang'an as long as he had 50,000 pieces of coarse cloth? This involves the concept of banker control. Taking stocks as an example, bookmakers usually collect chips in low-price areas to achieve the purpose of preliminary market control, then take the opportunity to push up the stock price, and then take profits and exit, leaving a lot of chicken feathers! If the banker wants to control the market, he must have at least 20% of the circulating shares in his hands! In other words, for a company with a market value of 10 billion, the banker can achieve the purpose of controlling the market as long as it has 2 billion chips! This is also an essential quality for an excellent trader!
Nowadays, the shortage of coarse cloth in Chang'an City is about 100,000 pieces. Cao Wendong has 50,000 "chips" alone, accounting for about 50%. Under this situation, if he cannot control the price of cloth in Chang'an City, Li Zexuan I think he might as well find a piece of tofu and kill him!
"Almost a hundred thousand horses!"
After hearing this, the shopkeeper suddenly took a breath. What is the concept of one hundred thousand pieces? Chang'an City's monthly cloth consumption is estimated to be more than one hundred thousand pieces, right? How can this girl play with it? If she doesn't use it like this What a bully!
At this moment, the shopkeeper wanted to cry.
"Shopkeeper, the five thousand pieces of coarse cloth you mobilized from Fuzhou yesterday have arrived. They are in the backyard. Do you want to go and take a look?"
At this moment, a young man in Tsing Yi ran out of the store and said, "I'm going to take you."
"…………"
The shopkeeper's face was so gloomy that he almost dripped with water. He gasped and roared: "Get out!"
The young man in green clothes trembled with fright and ran away.
Unexpectedly, just a moment later, he came back again, "Shopkeeper... shopkeeper, no... no... it's not good! A team of officials from Dali Temple are at the Wangjia Cloth Village opposite. Shopkeeper Wang has... already Got caught..."
"What?"
The shopkeeper of Liu Ji Buzhuang's old face suddenly turned pale. After all, he couldn't resist the huge fear in his heart. After a quick glance, he fainted!
"Quick! All the cloths... all... are all reduced in price!"
He said weakly before passing out.
…………………………
Liu Dewei, the minister of Dali Temple, personally led the team and stationed in the east and west cities. This became the last straw for all the cloth merchants in Chang'an City. In order to avoid getting into trouble, the cloth merchants rushed to lower their prices. They were afraid that if they lowered their prices too slowly, they would suffer. Here comes jail time!
In fact, when the Caojia Clothing Factory released tens of thousands of pieces of coarse cloth, many cloth merchants took the opportunity to lower their prices. As for other cloth merchants who were planning to fight to the end, the unexpected appearance of Dali Temple officials wiped out the last trace of luck in their hearts. !
As a result, the price of cloth in Chang'an City was quickly suppressed as soon as it showed signs of rising!
"Your Majesty! After the veteran's visit and secret investigation, a total of fifteen cloth merchants were caught who were collectively driving up the price of cloth in an attempt to make huge profits! These people saw that many dealers came to Chang'an City in the past two days to buy large quantities of cloth, so they took the opportunity to raise prices. , and these families have united with each other in an attempt to raise the price of cloth! Just today, the price of coarse cloth has been raised by them to twice what it was before!"
Afternoon, Ganlu Hall.
Liu Dewei, the minister of Dali Temple, walked into the main hall and reported to Li Er.
(Liu Dewei, who fought from Pei Renji in the late Sui Dynasty, later returned to Li Mi, and then returned to the Tang Dynasty with Mi, was awarded the title of General Zuo Wuhou, and was granted the title of Duke of Teng County. In the first year of Zhenguan, he was granted the title of Minister of Dali Temple)
"Bang~!"
After hearing this, Li Er slapped Long An with a gloomy face and said angrily: "Twice? These people are really big and bold! Cloth is the daily needs of the people, how can we allow them to do whatever they want? Punish! Give it to me. Heavy punishment!"
Liu Dewei bowed and said: "My lord, I obey the order! A group of criminals have been detained in Dali Temple. They will be interrogated and punished by the ministers in the next two days!"
Li Er said again: "Check! Keep checking! If similar situations are found again, they will be detained directly! Prices in Chang'an must not be messed up!"
"My lord, I obey the order!"
Liu Dewei bowed and accepted the order.
………………………………
"Master, the price has dropped, the price has dropped! The prices of coarse cloth from other cloth shops in Chang'an City have all dropped~!"
In the West Market, Caojia Bufang, a servant who looked like a servant ran into the backyard and said loudly.
Cao Wendong squinted his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief: "Really? Now it's easy to deal with Mr. Hou! Haha!"
At the same time, Li Zexuan of Yonglefang Li Mansion also received the news not long after.
"Xiaoxuan, did you expect that the Holy Emperor would send people from Dali Temple to intervene in this matter?"
After Ye Guozhong heard the news, he asked Li Zexuan.
Yesterday, when he saw Li Zexuan looking like he was strategizing, he knew that Li Zexuan had a plan to settle the matter, but he didn't expect that Li Zexuan could calm down Chang'an's cloth prices so quickly. It was simply a miracle!
Li Zexuan shook his head and said: "Grandpa, even if Your Majesty does not send people from Dali Temple to intervene in this matter, those clowns who only hoard and drive up the price of cloth will not be able to do anything. The worst is just to waste more time! Good and evil will eventually come. Retribution, there is reincarnation in the way of heaven, justice will only be late, but it will never be absent!!"
Ye Guozhong's expression suddenly became complicated, and he heard him murmur: "Good and evil will eventually be rewarded, and there will be reincarnation in the way of heaven. Justice will only be late, but it will never be absent! Okay! Okay! Your master has a disciple like you , presumably his spirit in heaven is also gratified!"
