Wen Zhong, the dog-headed military advisor of the Yue Kingdom, once offered nine strategies in order to avenge his boss Gou Jian for tasting shit and avert the hatred of being singled out by his husband.
The former leader of the Jianghu sect was finally reduced to sleeping on a straw mat. He couldn't afford to eat and was greedy for meat. He could only ask people for some water and make a living by washing cars. I wonder how much Gou Jian would hate Fu Cha, especially since that guy was still playing games.
He got the mistress he originally wanted to keep.
The hatred was so great that they were irreconcilable, but Boss Gou only used three of the tactics, and thus eliminated Wu Guo's mastermind.
This shows how vicious these schemes are~!
Just like when the legendary general Mo Xie was born, the heaven and earth changed color and the ghosts and gods howled, just like the gates of hell being opened.
And among these nine strategies, the most obscene and despicable one is not to choose a pretty beauty Xi Tzu who will make people feel their little hearts fluttering wildly at the first sight, and then hold back the heartache,
I packed it up and gave it to Dr. Wu Fucha, who made her sing and sing every night. In the end, she suffered from kidney deficiency and irregularity.
Beauty traps are like sugar-coated cannonballs. Although they are very powerful, there are even more powerful people who eat up the sugar-coated shells and spit them back. For example, Liu Bei, the uncle of the big-eared emperor, made classmate Zhou Yu memorize "losing his wife and losing his army"
's comments.
The most poisonous thing among them is "buying millet at high prices to weaken the country, and benefiting from what you want to exhaust the people." - that is, crazy speculation. The price of goods is increased, and garlic is sold for 12 yuan per catty.
They create bubbles and eventually economic crises.
As an important seaport on the mainland, and because of its strong and dangerous city construction, Caribbean Port has not experienced war for a long time.
In comparison, wars are still going on in the interior, with uprisings and riots happening one after another, and large or small fights between different tribes.
The troubled times created the prosperity of Caribbean Port. Due to years of peace and development, people accumulated a lot of wealth in this era, and the nobles lived a luxurious life.
There is no war, no threat, all they have left in their lives is fighting for power and showing off their wealth. In fact, when people get rich, they like to expand, and after becoming wealthy, they like to show off, such as Shi Chong and Wang Kai, such as Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty.
,for example……
Behind the extreme luxury, some people even say that this is an era full of showing off, hunting for novelties and celebrating great achievements.
The laborers at the bottom are struggling to their death. They are slaves, or they live like slaves, living in dirty and simple shacks, trying every means to survive.
But the upper-class people are living a life of drunkenness and dreams, either in sensuality and debauchery, or in a state of sadness and hypocrisy.
Gardens, banquets, safari, flowers, fine wine, luxury cars, mansions, female sex, male style... these are all part of the luxurious life of nobles and businessmen.
They compare themselves with official positions, houses, women, antiques, and jewelry, and spend thousands of dollars at every turn.
They draw the blood of the entire society, but they cannot see the oppressed living in a miserable state just for a piece of meat and a house.
But in fact, no matter what era, what kind of society, what planet.
Those scoundrels in the upper echelons of society are always eager to obtain status symbols in order to have sufficient privileges.
The people at the lower level even shouted slogans such as "Princes, generals, and ministers would rather have their own kind" and used the most direct means to change their own destiny.
This is also an instinct of human beings to seek safety and a better living environment since primitive society.
Gangsters with big legs and thick arms, who are powerful, are the main labor force in the tribe and are responsible for fighting other tribes, robbing women, grabbing food, etc. Therefore, if they go up, they can get better and more meat, and use more meat.
Use good weapons, sleep with the most beautiful women, and then give birth to sturdier sons. The entire race will continue.
Later, when there was no need to rely on the number and strength of sons to dominate, everyone passed the initial stage of history, and when they came out of Novice Village, they no longer had to continue running around naked, with colorful face paint, and holding
Stone ax to hunt wild boar.
After putting on clothes and hiding his well-developed muscles, the only thing that can prove his strength are those decorations.
Therefore, jewelry such as gold and necklaces began to shine on the stage of history. They became the equipment of those who are awesome, or those who think they are awesome.
This is like saying that if you wear a level 50 armor and go out to fight monsters in the wild, a thief who is at least level 20 will definitely not come over to kill people and destroy the equipment.
They either ran away, or followed behind and flattered them: 'Hero, if you have any unused level 30 equipment, please give me two as a reward~!'
Later, these equipments began to turn into love horse shit, ancient farts, don't touch me, Ferraris, broken shoes, yachts, private jets, celebrity mistresses, Hawaii's 8,000-foot invincible ocean view villa...
But now, in the Caribbean Port, this little tomato is also the target of their yearning, a new symbol representing wealth.
Since it was only for ornamental purposes in the past and was said to be poisonous, the planting range was small and the quantity was limited. Naturally, the price was extremely expensive.
Ordinary dignitaries, like Fiona, who are well fed, rich and free, and noble ladies who are sad about the autumn wind and admiring the moon when they have nothing to do, all have some at home and make them.
Show off to outsiders for viewing and luxury goods, and show your social status. You can also pretend to be surprised when others come to visit.
But now, they discovered that this fruit is actually edible and extremely delicious. Naturally, they like to use it to show their identity and use it to hold forks.
Just like when garlic was expensive, the common people couldn't afford it and scolded them in anger. Some ruffians liked to drink French Lafite red wine, take a bite of garlic and then rinse their mouth with a small bowl of mung bean soup.
It’s not about eating, it’s about the amazing feeling you get when you eat under the spotlight, and the sense of superiority that comes from being looked down upon by others.
If you are in a restaurant, wearing a suit and tie, leather boots so shiny that they can reach under a girl's skirt, a knife on the left and a knife on the right, a white tablecloth on your legs, you only need three cups for water, and then there is another one standing next to you.
The French cook, when talking to others, would say, "Brother, I am studying at Clayton Pheasant University in Texas...", and finally, he would say a few words from time to time, inadvertently talking about funds, venture capital, or something like that.
This status will come naturally to you, and you will look like you are a leader in successful studies who came back from overseas with gold plating. No one will dare to look down upon you again.
Regardless of whether you have real skills or not, if you don't work if your annual salary is less than 30 million, it is insulting to mention it.
As time goes by, everyone no longer works hard to engage in industry, scientific research, or open farms, but to take care of his brother-in-law and sister-in-law, and to have a mistress.
This is also the main reason why the more prosperous the economy is, the shorter women’s skirts become.
You don't have to work hard, you just need to show off your beautiful legs and you can make money.
As a result, there will be no more people to work. The wages for jobs that do not require a clerk are getting higher and higher, and naturally everyone will squeeze in there.
What people are chasing after is not industrial performance, but opportunism. Naturally, they become impetuous. Soon, people's desire to speculate becomes stronger and stronger. All the people speculate in stocks, all people speculate in real estate, and all the mistresses.
And now, this little fruit gives them an opportunity to speculate.
Like all speculative bubbles, those who participated initially made money, and they made more and more money.
As prices keep rising, everyone finds that they only need to buy low and sell high. They buy high, but sell even higher.
All you need to do is buy it, then turn around and sell it to the people lining up behind you, and the money will flow into your hands easily.
After getting this benefit, people's confidence has greatly increased. Many people want to invest more money even though they have lost all their money, hoping to make more money.
Even the aunt who sells vegetables in the vegetable market shouted at the top of her voice: I have inside information...
People watching saw that making money is so easy, even easier than showing off your thighs. You don’t have to do anything at all. You just need to buy things back and then throw them away in a few days, and you can make a lot of money.
Even pigs can do this kind of thing.
In addition, rumors such as "So-and-so made tens of millions doing this" are constantly floating in our ears, and people can easily lose their peaceful mind and become crazy.
They also participated immediately, and even people from other regions caught wind of the situation and rushed into the Caribbean port with large sums of cash to participate in this crazy speculation frenzy.
Fiona watched helplessly as the price of the fruit skyrocketed, like it was on a rocket. It was rising exponentially, and she felt helpless just to collect the money.
Even so, a whole carriageload of gold coins is still brought into the city guard's mansion every day, and the secret room used to store money has been slowly opened.
And in addition, there are more people who use connections to go through the back door, holding a lot of gold coins, crying and begging themselves to sell something to them.
Fiona's hands cramped while counting the money, and her scalp was numb with fear.
She originally just wanted to do a little speculation, monopolize the supply of goods, and then increase the price to make a small profit. However, she did not expect that she would ignite a huge fire with her own hands.
This game is too big.
She wanted to go to Lorraine several times to discuss the matter of giving up, but seeing Leo, Xiao, Bai, and Vera sitting in the pile of gold coins, counting the money while smiling from ear to ear, she was very hesitant at the moment.
.
The gold coins piled up like a hill are indeed so beautiful.
At the same time, the Caribbean City Governor also noticed the speculation in the market. At the same time, an emergency meeting was held to discuss the matter.
Originally, at this time, if handled properly, the bubble could still be controlled, but unfortunately, the experts and beasts who attended the meeting all joined the ranks of speculators, or their own family members were also speculating crazily.
However, tomatoes are not necessities of life. They are considered a luxury item. Those who speculate on this stuff are rich people. Ordinary people looked at it as a curiosity at the time. Naturally, it is not a big deal in the eyes of everyone.
If the price of grain and cloth dared to rise like this, some people would have been arrested and beheaded in public.
What's more, the initiator of this incident lives in the backyard of the city guard's mansion, and he has always been pampered, so to speak.
Even the castle guard, who was the governor of the Caribbean region, would pull his beard when he came in front of her, and pull out his hair when he was told. There was absolutely no ambiguity.
Although the city guard cares about the people and the country and the people, he is also more worried about his own hair, which is already short. At the moment, he turns a blind eye.
The purpose of his holding this meeting was not to manage this matter, but just to let the common people know that he was paying attention to this matter, and he was very concerned about it.
The Zhuan family has hired dozens of people just to call the beasts. Can you say that the city guard doesn't fulfill his responsibilities?
Therefore, even though the city governor held meetings for several days in a row, and everyone was very noisy at the meeting, but in the end it was fruitless, but it did leave a reputation for democratic decision-making.
Stimulated by this news, the price of those tomatoes suddenly jumped up a lot. An ordinary fruit that is not yet ripe can now be sold for a hundred gold coins.
One hundred gold coins is enough to buy a small house in the city, with a green garden.
But in this case, it has a price but no market.
It is rare to see tomatoes listed for sale on the market, and as soon as they appear, they are swept away.
The price of that plant has been rising higher and higher, to the point where most people can't afford it even if they lose all their money. But when it comes to money, they are also extremely smart.
In the exchange, everyone formed a partnership, pooled their money together to buy a plant, and then sold it to another group of people who jointly contributed money.
Some people even began to creatively place orders on the exchange to buy and sell tomatoes that will be planted and harvested next year.
After Lorraine heard this, she stomped her feet in regret. What a pity! This was a historic moment for the birth of stock index futures, but I was not there to witness it with my own eyes!
After the bubble was blown up at this time, it had begun to grow on its own. It could no longer stop the car, and like a terrifying monster, it swallowed up all the money it encountered.
Lorraine's purpose was just to find a way to hit the economy here. At this time, the purpose was achieved, and he retreated in time, although the prices were still rising at this time.
Now that the bubble has formed, if you fall deeply into it, you will have three major tragedies in life: 'You become a husband by picking up girls, you become a shareholder by speculating in stocks, and you become a landlord by speculating in real estate.
Old farmer, the wisdom of Lord Luo I was about to be wasted. Although Leo was very sorry, he also knew that enough was enough, since they were already the ones who had made the most profits anyway.
Lorraine started to do her own business.

In the morning of this day, people who were exposed to the sun felt lazy both physically and mentally.
At the intersection of the lower port area of the Caribbean Port, a large pile of garbage is piled at the corner of the intersection. Huge green-headed flies are flying up and down around the garbage pile that exudes the smell of feces and urine, making a disgusting buzz.
buzz.
At this time, although it was almost noon, there were still few people to be seen here, and the long street was completely empty, like a dead city.
A carriage came from the distant road and stopped at the intersection.
Immediately afterwards, a white and fat little boy jumped out of the car, and then the car body shook and made a series of crunching sounds. Just when the car body was about to fall apart, a small elephant finally climbed out of the car.
Come down.
A little maid with blue hair, a petite and plump figure, and her breasts were bulging out of clothes also hurriedly got out of the car.
The last young man also walked down. He was about twenty years old, with black hair and a harmless smile. He was Lorraine.
He raised his head and looked at the coachman and said: "Ralph, go back. Let's take a walk here. We don't know how long we will have fun, so we won't come to pick us up. Let's go back and find a carriage ourselves."
go back."
The driver raised his head and looked at this huge slum area. There were rags and rags everywhere, and he wondered what was so interesting about this place.
He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Sir, are you sure you don't want to bring a few people here? This is a famous slum area, full of gangsters and bandits. It is said that pirates and smugglers are also hiding here.
Many people have more than one murder case on their bodies. They are very vicious.
My adults tried to clean it up several times, but failed."
Lorraine smiled, patted herself, and then said: "Are you sure there is no murder case on my body?"
The coachman immediately shuddered.
He had also heard that the boyfriend that this young lady picked up from the road was probably a bandit, or even a famous criminal thief who committed murder and swindled goods.
But this was only passed down in private, and no one dared to ask face to face. I was afraid that the young lady would one day kill someone to cover up their identities.
He immediately wrinkled the corners of his mouth, squeezed out a smile, and said, "My lord, you are joking."
After saying that, he raised his whip and left without looking back.
Lorraine looked at his back and couldn't help but smile. Then she turned her head and said to everyone: "Let's go."
Leo has long been impatient. He has long heard that there are many green forest heroes here, deceitful exposers, and highly skilled thieves. He wants to see what is going on here and make friends with them.
After a while, he let out a cry of "ouch", and the first one ran towards the inside.
Xiaobai didn't dare to neglect and ran in quickly after him.
Lorraine and Vera hurriedly followed.
They walked along the street for a while, only to see that the place was still empty and there were not a few people. However, they vaguely felt that there were people prying through the broken door and incomplete windows.
His eyes were hiding in the dark, looking at people like himself.
Lorraine didn't care, but looked down at the note in his hand, which was written by the steward of the theater about the contact information of the pirate Whitebeard's men.
Lorraine originally thought that these people would kill people, set fires, rob things, and engage in smuggling a few times when they had nothing to do on the sea far away from the land. But he did not expect that they would be so bold as to do this in Hong Kong.
Create a contact location.
This shows that the Holy See has really put a lot of money and effort into this continent.
Thinking of this, Lorraine couldn't help but feel better about those guys. Of course, the main reason for this was that his old man's girlfriend was now likely to become the eldest sister of the Holy See.
Everyone walked along the street and came to a sign with a broken fish bone hanging on it.
Lorraine looked at the door number and immediately stepped in.
