"What? The Grand Elder of Yunlu Pavilion is in the capital? What is he doing in the capital?" Li Ye was very surprised.
If the Fengxiao League hadn't passed on the message, he wouldn't have known about this person.
You can't get in touch with people of this level just by doing business.
Mr. Xiao smiled and said, "I'm just helping you find out the information. How you analyze it is up to you."
"If my guess is correct, then this person is unrivaled in the world, right?"
"You guessed right, I did meet Shi Wushuang! And the meeting place was at the Qin family.
Because he was too powerful, our people didn't dare to get close to him.
What they talked about is unknown." Mr. Xiao replied.
Then he looked at Li Ye with interest, wanting to hear his analysis.
Li Ye thought for a moment and said, "I think it's probably for the weapons of the barbarians.
We robbed their goods, so they should have reacted in due time.
All the weapons and fine iron that were bought at great expense were lost.
Yunlu Pavilion must take responsibility.
I guess Yunlu Pavilion is having a hard time now.
Otherwise, their great elder wouldn't have come to the capital in person."
Mr. Xiao's eyes sparkled with brilliance, and he was very pleased.
"What you said makes sense. What are you going to do next?"
Li Ye touched his chin with his hand and said thoughtfully, "With so many weapons being made in one go, I estimate that the stocks of iron shops in the capital have been emptied.
It is almost impossible to create a large number of weapons in a short period of time.
Moreover, doing such things can easily attract the attention of the government.
As the saying goes, once, twice, but not three times, they dare not take the risk again.
The only way is to purchase iron from the lower provinces and then transport it directly to the barbarians.
The advantage of this is that it costs less money, is less noticeable, and is safer."
Mr. Xiao nodded in agreement: "What you said makes sense, I would definitely do the same if I were in your place.
We did it very cleanly, and Yunlu Pavilion won't be able to investigate it in a short time.
The more this happens, the more guilty they will feel.
We can only retreat and seek the safest way to help the barbarians.
Now that we've discovered their purpose, should we send someone to kill them immediately?"
Li Ye shook his head: "No, just let them transport it across!"
Mr. Xiao was very surprised: "Aren't you afraid that the enemy country will obtain a large amount of weapons and expand its army to deal with Dayuan?"
Li Ye smiled and said, “I just want them to get weapons.
There are not many outstanding craftsmen among the barbarians.
It takes a long time to produce weapons in large quantities.
By the time they are armed, my army will have been trained.
What's more, only with sufficient weapons will the enemy country take the initiative to attack.
It will be more convenient to deal with them with legitimate reasons at that time.
The next time we go to war, it will be the time to conquer the world."
"Looks like you've already made plans!"
Li Ye touched his chin and said, "It's not easy to find iron down there. Our blast furnaces are highly efficient in smelting iron. If it's not good enough, we can just remove some impurities and sell them to them at a high price."
Mr. Xiao was stunned by Li Ye's idea.
To make money, people will do anything.
If other people knew about this, they would be so shocked that their eyes would drop to the ground.
In order to destroy the enemy country, they actually offered them help.
Li Ye slammed his fist into his palm, feeling extremely regretful: "Why didn't I think of such a good opportunity to make money!"
He said to Xiao Cui, "Quickly bring me paper and pen. I need to write a letter!"
"What are you writing a letter for?" Mr. Xiao was a little confused by Li Ye's sudden surprise and really couldn't guess what he wanted to do.
Li Ye explained: "I forgot something extremely important!
Think about it, because Shi Wushuang purchased a large amount of weapons and fine iron in the past.
The iron inventory on the market is definitely very tight.
Even if we go to the lower provinces to buy, the price will definitely be much higher.”
"That's right. Didn't you say you would refine the iron and sell it to them? Wouldn't that make a good price?" said Mr. Xiao.
"That's not the case! Since the iron market is in short supply, I should also send people to buy it and do my best to raise the price of iron. Not only will the price be high, but they will also be unable to buy it.
This way I can sell the iron to them at a higher price and make a lot of money."
When Li Ye said this, his eyes lit up, as if he saw a mountain of gold before his eyes.
Mr. Xiao took a breath of cold air. This move was really too cruel.
Although he is the leader of the most powerful killer sect, he has many vicious methods.
Li Ye's plan is simply to kill people and destroy their hearts.
Suddenly I felt that it was really pitiful that the Barbarians and Yunlu Pavilion had an enemy like Li Ye.
I'm afraid they would never have dreamed that most of the profits from the strategic materials they bought at high prices went into Li Ye's pocket.
Li Ye used the enemy's money to expand his army and destroy them.
"You're really good. I even feel a little sorry for them!"
"Hey, you're a bastard who doesn't want to make money! And you can let them transport the iron so easily?"
Li Ye quickly wrote two letters, one to the chief manager of his own company.
Let them secretly purchase iron from all over the place through their own businesses.
At the same time, Moyefang also took the opportunity to purchase iron, making the supply of iron even tighter.
The channels of both parties in this field are invincible in the world. Even if Shi Wushuang relies on Yunlu Pavilion, he is no match.
I'm afraid they are not ready yet, as most of the iron on the market has been sold out.
Mo Nianqiu was the first to receive Li Ye's letter. Without saying anything and regardless of any reasons, he immediately ordered to buy up all the iron on the market at a high price.
Anyway, they made a lot of money through Shi Wushuang's business last time.
I have no shortage of money.
Li Ye's business was even more exaggerated.
The news quickly spread throughout the prefectures and counties of the Dayuan Dynasty and throughout the country.
The acquisition of iron is even faster.
In less than half a month, the entire Dayuan iron supply was in urgent need.
Apart from the necessary needs of the people and the government, iron is no longer available on the market.
Even if they worked hard to mine iron ore, the daily output was sold out.
Shi Wushuang arranged for his disciples to buy iron everywhere, but found that the price had soared more than ten times, and there was no demand for it, so it was impossible to buy it.
Even the stock in the blacksmith's workshop was very small or even gone.
If customers want to make ironware, they have to bring the iron themselves.
As for where to buy it, they don’t care.
The disciples of Yunlu Pavilion went to many blacksmith shops, but they couldn't even collect a pound of iron. They were completely confused.
They really couldn't understand what had happened in the Dayuan Dynasty.
How did iron become so scarce?
If the task cannot be completed, they can only send people to report to Shi Wushuang, and at the same time send people to more distant places to purchase.
Soon they discovered that some shops had stockpiled some iron, and not only was the price very high, but the supply was also limited.
The owner must explain the purpose of use before they will sell it to them.
And it's only enough to make tools, not a bit more.
