This time the Gongsun family is coming with great force, clearly targeting the two countries, but they can do it without anyone noticing. This is the power of money...
In terms of financial resources, whether from acquisitions or sales, Bai Yuxian believed that even with the financial resources of the Lu State, it might be difficult to compete with the Gongsun family.
Not to mention the Southern Kingdom, which has just recovered a little. Maybe the Lu Kingdom can withstand this wave of blows, but the Southern Kingdom is determined to be difficult to survive.
What should we do?
Everyone present fell into deep thought, and even Shang Jun, who had always been strategizing in business wars, also began to think hard. After all, the opponent this time was none other than a behemoth that dominated the entire world.
"If not..." Ye Fuxun tapped his fingers on the table and frowned, "Since she is purchasing supplies on a large scale, let her take care of it!"
Shang Jun frowned: "Isn't this just playing into the hands of the Gongsun family?"
Bai Yuxian seemed to have caught something. He looked at Ye Fuxun and said, "Continue."
Ye Fuxun said with a smile: "We couldn't stop this in the first place, so we might as well do the opposite and add fuel to the flames. Since the Gongsun family spends so much money purchasing supplies, then we will sell them to them and make money from them!"
This is a price far higher than the market price, and it is all real gold and silver. People need silver numbers to store their money, but the court does not need it!
Shang Jun's eyes lit up: "It's interesting, but what other materials can the imperial court sell? As far as I know, the imperial court's inventory of materials circulating in the border areas is not large, and they are all based on quality... I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve
Effect."
Ye Fuxun touched his chin and chuckled: "Who said we have to have silk, brocade, and porcelain? They charge high prices for supplies. Cotton, tiles, charcoal and the like are the supplies that are really closely related to people's livelihood!
Gongsun is a businessman. These businessmen have the most long-term vision. Hoarding goods is nothing to them. Think about it, if they buy all our supplies, including quilts, charcoal fires, etc., by winter, wouldn’t the people of Lu country be like this?
Gonna freeze to death!"
"But..." Although Shang Jun felt that Ye Fuxun's method was bold and novel, he still felt that it was very risky, "In this case..."
If the Gongsun family didn't take the bait, wouldn't it be that the goods they stocked were in vain? If the Gongsun family really took away the supplies...
Shang Jun's eyes suddenly lit up.
Bai Yuxian on the other side had already understood what Ye Fuxun meant. She looked at Ye Fuxun with a slightly doting look and said, "It's too risky, but you can give it a try."
Ye Fuxun made a face at Bai Yuxian: "It's not a risk, but if the Gongsun family doesn't accept it, then the imperial court will stock it up and wait for the winter to sell it..."
These materials can also be purchased from the private sector. Since the Gongsun family has not yet reached out to these places, Ye Fuxun considered purchasing these materials at a low price.
Seeing Ye Fuxun lowering his head and thinking, Bai Yuxian simply said: "I will leave this matter to the Queen."
The final word.
Ye Fuxun raised his head with a confused look on his face.
Does Bai Yuxian want to exploit her?
"This is a matter for the court. The harem is not allowed to participate in politics. Isn't the emperor afraid that the court will interfere with me again?"
Ye Fuxun said almost through gritted teeth.
Bai Yuxian looked at Ye Fuxun with a bit of seriousness in his eyes: "I will handle the matters of the previous dynasty, so Fuxun can just go ahead and do it."
Shang Jun on the side felt inexplicably as if he was being plotted, and looked at his pavilion master with a wry smile, without saying a word.
How could Bai Yuxian let go of a ready-made coolie like Yunyuan Pavilion?
Ye Fuxun reacted and glared at Bai Yuxian: "Is there no one in your previous court?"
"The dignified Shang Jun of Yunyuan Pavilion personally took action. There is no one more reassuring than him. If Fu Xun is willing to send people to me, I will be happy."
Bai Yuxian raised his eyebrows and looked at Shang Jun, who was looking a little embarrassed from the corner of his eye.
Shang Jun complained repeatedly in his heart, but he had no intention of entering the official career at all. He was living happily in Yunyuan Pavilion for the first time. If it is true as Bai Yuxian said, after entering the court, he would really be at the mercy of others.
A cow and a horse.
Absolutely not!
Feeling Shang Jun winking at him repeatedly, Ye Fuxun patted his head and said, "Just let him go. Yunyuan Pavilion still relies on Shang Jun to run it. You can leave this matter to me."
After all, it was related to Ning Lang, and Ye Fuxun did not object to handling the matter, but he refused due to the rules of the previous dynasty.
Ye Fuxun discussed with Shang Jun for an entire afternoon, which made Bai Yuxian frown, but there was no way he could ignore the hole he dug.
It wasn't until nightfall that Shang Jun Shiran left Fengyi Palace, still leaving behind a table full of ledgers...
Ye Fuxun's mouth twitched slightly, and he decisively waved his sleeves to pass on the meal!
The days became busy again, and the influence of the Gongsun family was really silent. Although Ye Fuxun had already made preparations and tried his best to suppress it, the influence of the wanton acquisitions gradually spread from the border to the capital.
As Ye Fuxun expected, they did not refuse anyone who came. All the basic supplies specified by Ye Fuxun were bought by the Gongsun family. There were even some things that Ye Fuxun had not thought of. The Gongsun family also bought them.
acquisition.
One thing makes people wonder, is it possible that the Gongsun family is planning to acquire the entire country?
But this is obviously impossible. No matter how hard a businessman tries to subvert a dynasty, money and luxury can corrupt a dynasty.
Obviously Bai Yuxian will not let money and luxury cover his eyes.
After setting the target that day, Ye Fuxun no longer bothered to play around with them. As long as the other party offered a high price, he simply threw out all the goods in his hand, as if he was naked.
I told the other side that if I buy whatever I want, I will make money from them!
Maybe the Gongsun family doesn't know Ye Fuxun's thoughts, maybe they do, but... the Gongsun family doesn't care. What they don't lack most is money. Even though they know that they are buying supplies from Ye Fuxun, they are just sprinkling water.
, bought it at will.
What's more, they face so many orders every day.
However, Ye Fuxun's involvement in this matter was still known to the previous court, and Bai Yuxian suppressed the matter on his own.
Ye Fuxun's identity as the master of Yunyuan Pavilion cannot be exposed. In the eyes of outsiders, Ye Fuxun is a member of the harem, but he actually interferes in the affairs of the previous dynasty. How can a place with such huge profits not make people jealous.
Although this woman does not have much power behind her, the fall of the Grand Scholar's House has silenced many people before. Now that they have just relaxed a little about the harem, those who were stubborn in the past are starting to get nervous again.
There was a big fuss in the front, and when Ye Fuxun learned about it, she just laughed it off and didn't take it seriously. Since she took the job, she wouldn't pay attention to those people's impeachment.
Now she and Bai Yuxian are in charge, as long as Bai Yuxian believes in her.
In the past, when she had not succeeded to the throne, she was constrained and had to look forward and backward, but now it is different from the past. No matter how much these people wanted to pull her down from this throne, there was nothing they could do.
