Chapter 425 The Hu people killed the Hu people
When Shen Huaichen found Shen Qingming, Shen Qingming was calculating Wan Jin Fang's accounts for the previous month.
Seeing Shen Qingming's eyes practically disappear from his smile, Shen Huaichen knew that his second son had earned a lot of money.
"Second Young Master, your business is booming!" Shen Huaichen said with a smile.
"Oh dear! Just so-so. Just enough to make a living."
"Mr. Du, please have a seat." Shen Qingming said, closing the ledger.
Shen Huaichen didn't mind and sat down on a chair nearby.
Seeing that Shen Huaichen was not speaking and was just looking at him, Shen Qingming suddenly felt a little scared.
"Mr. Du..."
"Second Young Master, are you aware of the incident where merchants were ambushed outside Wuyun City?" Shen Huaichen asked first.
Shen Qingming was taken aback and blurted out.
"So fast? They're quick!"
Shen Huaichen...
Seeing that Shen Huaichen was not speaking and was looking at him, Shen Qingming quickly waved his hand again.
"I didn't kill the person! I didn't intercept the goods!"
Also, those people aren't from my Great Chongqing.
Shen Huaichen finally breathed a sigh of relief.
That's good. He thought this kid was young but already had people on his hands!
"Are you sure there are no traces left?" Shen Huaichen asked.
When Shen Qingming saw Shen Huaichen ask this question, he knew that Shen Huaichen must already know, so he quickly nodded.
"It definitely has nothing to do with us. Or, can I explain to you how it was done?"
Shen Huaichen nodded.
Then Shen Qingming dragged a chair over and sat down in front of Shen Huaichen.
And she told Shen Huaichen everything she had done.
At first, Shen Qingming was also thinking about how to make things more reasonable.
Later, after thinking about it all night, his plan was finally perfected.
The Northern Hu people lacked supplies, so the commanders of their troops would send their men in disguise to the border town to buy supplies.
At first, those people didn't care about the price.
But the people of the border town have been doing business for so many years that they have become masters of raising prices on the spot.
The more you buy, the higher the price.
In fact, because so many people bought them, a lot of the stock was sold out.
Naturally, it was the northern barbarians who were unhappy about this.
They belonged to different commanders and subconsciously assumed that the other side was behind the sabotage.
Shen Qingming seized this opportunity.
Shen Qingming also contacted Boss Ye.
Boss Ye is now the top merchant in the border city, and he does business with everyone.
Moreover, he maintains good relationships with everyone.
At Shen Qingming's instruction, he first sold a batch of cheap supplies to a junior general of the Northern Barbarians.
Then that young general from the north kept buying supplies from Boss Ye.
However, Mr. Ye only sold to that person once, and then started making excuses to refuse again.
That person kept looking for Boss Ye, and later Boss Ye spoke to that person.
"It's not that I don't want to sell to you, but the people in Dark Cloud City are keeping an eye on all the things you want!"
Or, how about I think of another way for you?
Upon hearing this, the man replied, "As long as there are supplies, anything is fine!"
He didn't want his team to suffer setbacks due to insufficient supplies on their way south.
So he took Boss Ye's advice and stopped sourcing goods from Wuyun City, switching to Tianji City instead.
After he bought the goods from Tianji City, he discovered that Tianji City had a huge variety of goods at very low prices!
That's not all. Boss Ye also told him that if merchants from the border city import goods from other cities, they have to pay taxes when they enter and exit the city.
However, merchants from Dayu only need to pay taxes when entering Saha City; they don't need to pay taxes when entering other cities.
He advised the young general not to wear the clothes of the Hu people anymore.
If you change into clothes worn by people from Chongqing, you can save money no matter which city you visit.
Upon hearing this, the young general immediately changed into the clothes of the Great Yu.
They also borrowed a carriage from Boss Ye's business.
Right after that junior general led his men out of Wuyun City, Boss Ye sold the information to another junior general.
"It's not that I don't want to sell! Why wouldn't I make money?"
Instead, all the supplies were taken away by merchants from Da Yu.
He's someone important; he took all my supplies.
They said they were going to sell it outside of Wuyun City, where they could get a high price.
Why don't you just let it go? I can't afford to offend them. They took my carriage, and I didn't dare say anything!
Upon hearing this, the other junior officer immediately became furious.
Good! These merchants from Chongqing did it on purpose.
Want to sell it for a high price... you'd better be lucky.
And so, another young general from the Northern Hu tribe demonstrated the fine tradition of the Northern Hu people: seizing!
The Northern Hu people dressed in Dayu clothing were spotted as soon as they left Wuyun City.
And then...
"Mr. Du, do you think this has anything to do with me? It has nothing to do with me!"
They were greedy!
Didn't you say before that the empress killed the empress?
"Now this is called 'barbarians killing barbarians'!" Shen Qingming said smugly.
Shen Huaichen didn't speak, he just nodded.
Okay, we've got the trigger.
The next step is for everyone to be filled with righteous indignation!
