Chapter 501 Kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself
Ye An fought against foreign enemies in Huanzhou, while Qin Mumu fired the "first shot" of the economic war in Tokyo.
Compared with people of this era, the word economy only stays at the national level, with the purpose of "managing the world and benefiting the people." However, in the understanding of Ye An and Qin Mumu, the economy is inseparable from the entire human society.
Even the response to all social activities.
The two sides are not on the same level at all, and naturally the means and methods are also very different. In Qin Mumu's view, Zhao Yingji and the Zhao brothers are just simply manipulating the market economy and trying to achieve some kind of monopoly.
But they don't know that this is the ultimate trap...
The first thing that started was the price of sugar in Tokyo. There was an unexpected collapse overnight. A large number of low-priced stone candies appeared on the market, especially Hou San's candy store. Although it has always been tepid.
It's not popular, but now it suddenly starts selling low-priced candies in large quantities.
There are all kinds of sweets such as maltose, caramel, sugar paintings, etc., and the prices are so low that even an ordinary child can spend a few pennies to buy a rough piece of caramel and put it in his mouth to eat.
Such low prices and large sales caused the price of sugar to drop sharply throughout Tokyo. For a time, rich people no longer had to guard the sugar jars, and ordinary people also had sweets to eat.
The only ones who lost blood were the two Zhao brothers and the merchants who followed them to raise the price of sugar.
Hou San's business is naturally tied to the Yunzhong Prefecture's House. Who in Tokyo doesn't know this? Obviously this is a "general benefit" move by the Yunzhong Prefecture's House.
But many people don't know that it involves the grudges between Ye An and the Zhao brothers.
"Your Majesty, the Marquis Mansion of Yunzhong County is selling a large amount of candy. Zhao Zongli and Zhao Zongshi have suffered a lot of losses this time!"
In the palace, Liu E pulled her front sultryly, took the handkerchief handed over by Lan Jizong, wiped her neck and said, "She is really a shrewd woman! Qin Mumu's methods are no worse than that boy Chang Sheng, Zong Li
, Zongshi learned from Changsheng and joined forces with the Cao family to purchase large amounts of tarpaulin and tung oil. Is it for something or not for that little bit of national funds? At this time, what these two companies lack most is money. They are still buying tung oil on a large scale. Isn't this the technique of raking in the benefits?
?Qin Mumu released a large amount of sugar syrup at this time in order to catch Zong Li and Zong Shi off guard!"
Lan Jizong nodded slightly, looked at Liu E and said: "The saint's eyes are like a torch. This old slave can't see these doorways. But saint, do you think Qin Mumu can make tens of thousands of uniforms in half a month? What about the camouflage clothes?"
The service is good, but it’s a bit expensive after all.”
Liu E pointed to the cooling fan beside her. The palace attendant immediately put the ice cubes that had just been delivered into it and shook the handle. The big cooling fan started to spin, which also made Liu E let out a breath of turbid air.
"Did you see it? This is the cooling fan made by the official family for me. What do you see on it?"
Lan Jizong didn't understand why Liu E asked this, so he said with a smile: "You can see the secret of this, slave? The things made by the officials are naturally the best, cool and tight!"
Liu E smiled and said nothing. In her opinion, this was the change brought about by the Study of Things. Even officials could make something, but what about others? If the study of Study of Things flourished in the Song Dynasty, she would not be able to do anything else.
I dare to say it, but making money is certain.
"The family education of Changsheng is a good thing, and the benefits of the study of objects can be seen, otherwise it will not be able to produce so much tung oil."
Liu E gradually realized the role of geophysics and sighed slightly. At the same time, she was also a little curious about why Ye An always targeted Zhao Zongli and Zhao Zongshi?
"The left and right are just for money, but they have not harmed the country, so they just let these families mess around. Let me tell Zhao Qingyi that my relatives should not go too far."
Lan Jizong understood Shenhui's departure, knowing that the saint would not watch the Cao family and the two brothers Zhao Zongshi and Zhao Zongli suffer a big loss.
But Liu E and Lan Jizong didn't know that shopping malls are like battlefields. The war in the shopping malls can be seen and touched, and it is as cruel as the battlefield. This time Qin Mumu and Ye An want to let the city of Tokyo know that any attack on them will
Those who do anything to Puhui Company are all their enemies!
Lan Jizong went to the Li family with good intentions, but Zhao Qingyi was not there at all. As for Li Zunxu, he didn't know where he went. The servants in the Prince Consort's Mansion said that Li Zunxu went to Zhuangzi outside the city, but no one knew where he went.
A Zhuangzi, in the words of the Li family, "There are many Zhuangzis outside the city, and they won't come back for ten and a half months."
Similarly, Zhao Qingyi did not know where he went. Finally, Lan Jizong learned from the servants of the Li family that the eldest princess did not return home after she went to find the Lord of Yangcheng County.
Back home.
Lan Jizong suddenly felt that something was wrong. Although he didn't know what was wrong, he always felt that it was too coincidental. Especially when he went to Xinlingfang and failed to find Qin Mumu, his uneasiness gradually intensified.
After returning to the palace, Liu E just smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid Cao Yi will scold Zhao Yingji when she comes back now..."
Of course Lan Jizong didn't give up. After leaving the palace, he went to Xinlingfang without returning home. He planned to see if he could find Qin Mumu here. Unfortunately, the only one he saw was in Yunzhong County Marquis Mansion.
Only Tie's mother-in-law and Hou San's mother were enjoying the shade under the camphor tree in the front yard.
The two old men were quite young. They were not frightened when they saw Lan Jizong. Instead, they enthusiastically pulled him and planned to chat about home affairs. Lan Jizong was so frightened that he ran away.
In fact, even if he finds Qin Mumu, he can't change anything. Doesn't he know the principle of "if you kill a snake, you will suffer the consequences"?
Before Ye An left, he had told Qin Mumu that if he had to take action on the business of Zhao Zongli and Zhao Zongshi's family, he would have to give secret instructions during the incubation period to prevent these two villains from jumping over the wall.
Qin Mumu naturally knew how to protect himself, so he hid in Zhuangzi outside the city these days. This was Zhuangzi in Yunzhong County Marquis Mansion. The farmers and craftsmen knew everything about it. Secondly, there was a branch belonging to Ye
Although An's armed forces are not powerful or elite, they are enough to withstand the bandits' strong attack.
As long as they are not regular troops using standard weapons, it is almost impossible for ordinary bandits to capture Zhuangzi.
When Lan Jizong came to find him, Qin Mumu was laughing and chatting with Li Zunxu and his wife. Li Zunxu didn't have much ink in his stomach, but he had a lot of stories. He was a very good talker.
The three of them said this in an empty field, surrounded by craftsmen and farmers who had been working hard for a day, but it was a very interesting time.
Lan Jizong smiled bitterly and said: "The three of you make it easy to find a certain family, why are you talking here?"
Li Zunxu asked strangely: "Master Lan, what are you doing?"
Lan Jizong sat unceremoniously on a low stool, picked up Li Zunxu's wine flask, filled himself a glass and said, "Don't you know why a certain family wants you?"
Li Zunxu laughed out loud and teased: "How come Lord Lan is here to be a lobbyist? Is it for a saint or someone else?"
"I'm afraid others won't be able to invite Mr. Lan... but the saint knows that my Puhui Company will definitely win?" Zhao Qingyi also said with a smile on the side. The couple seemed to be calm and calm, but every word These words are all testing Lan Jizong.
"You can win, but you just want to gain dignity or look ugly. Although a certain family does not know your methods, the saint has seen through the plan of attacking in the east and attacking in the west. Why bother to hide it in front of a certain family?"
"The official is asking questions blindly. My Li family is just a shareholder, not the owner of Puhui Company, so..." After Zhao Qingyi finished speaking, he smiled and stretched out his hand to signal Qin Mumu, very relaxed.
"My Ye Lang once said that kindness to the enemy is cruelty to oneself..."
