Chapter five hundred and thirty fourth shot

The night became dark, and the people who bought items that could be called cheap and affordable in the market today still did not calm down from their excitement. Many people even gathered together to discuss what happened today after dinner.

After dinner, Aunt Wang, who lives in the west of the city, even stared at the floral cloths she bought in front of her with an oil lamp. Until now, she couldn't believe that she had bought such good materials with only one or two silver taels.

"Damn it, is this really the material you bought for a silver or two today?"

Aunt Wang's husband was also a little dazed when he looked at the colorful fabric on the table. Although Aunt Wang spent most of his salary for half a month in order to buy this piece of material, he did not feel distressed because such beautiful materials were not worth ten taels of silver in the past. Now he only spent one tael of silver to buy them. What else is he not satisfied with?

"Of course!" Aunt Wang said proudly: "It goes without saying that Aunt Zhou also bought a piece of fabric today. Let me tell you, the piece of fabric bought by Aunt Zhou is thick and strong. The guy who sells fabrics said that any clothes made of materials will not be broken if they wear them for four or five years. If I hadn't brought enough money today, I would have wanted to buy a few feet to make a dress for you and your second child."

"Mom, this material is so beautiful."

Aunt Wang's daughter Dani also walked to the table, stroked the pink fabric, feeling the smooth luster and softness of the fabric, and showed a love in her eyes.

"Are you pretty?" Aunt Wang stroked her daughter's head and showed a kind smile: "After the New Year, our Dani is about to get married, my mother will use this piece of cloth to make you a dress and let you dress up beautifully on the day of your marriage. She will never let the people of the Zhang family underestimate you."

"Mom...what are you talking nonsense!" Dani hid her face in her mother's arms.

Marrying... This word is both worrying and looking forward to a fifteen-year-old girl.

"By the way, my father." Aunt Wang suddenly asked her man: "A few days ago, the merchants in the market called for a strike and closed the shops and stopped selling things. Why do people dare to openly sell things, and they sell so cheaply? Are they not afraid of revenge?"

"You don't understand this." Aunt Wang's husband said proudly: "Do you know who the boss behind that business? That's Marquis of Jiangning, Marquis of Yang! They hold the military seal in their hands, but they have tens of thousands of soldiers under their hands. Even those who do business dare to provoke him even if they are brave.

The Marquis must not stand the unscrupulous merchants' daily strikes, so they came to do this. But today I and a few old friends have decided that since ancient times, they have been doing business to make money. The Marquis sold these things so cheaply. Although they are taking care of our hardships, they are destined to be unable to last long. So you should bring all the money at home and then go to the market to see what we need and buy them for me."

"Yes, yes..." Aunt Wang slapped her thigh after hearing this, "It's still the child's father who is right. I will definitely get up early tomorrow to continue buying things. By the way, the child's father, you should go out of the city to tell my parents and the others tomorrow, and let them come to buy things quickly. You must know that such a good thing will be rare for a while in your life, and after passing this village, there will be no store."

"Okay...in..." Aunt Wang's husband also nodded repeatedly.

Facts have proved that although the people these days have never studied and do not understand any national affairs, they also follow their own way of survival. There are also many people with Aunt Wang and her husband. By the next day, there were too many people in the market than yesterday, and more and more people came from outside the city. By the time of the year (9 o'clock), the entire market had already become crowded.

Looking at the crowds, Manager Qiu Da was secretly smacking his tongue while also glad that his boss had the foresight and sent hundreds of Jiangning Army soldiers to maintain order in the market. Otherwise, he would not know what chaos would be.

Considering this situation, the shopkeeper Qiu Da opened more than fifty stalls today, but even though they were all together, the stalls were surrounded by a tide of people coming like a tide. If it weren't for the Jiangning Army maintaining order, these stalls would probably be in danger of being overturned by the crowd.

There is a two-story restaurant on the east side of the market. In a elegant seat to the west, Hong Anque was sitting by the window, looking at the stalls surrounded by crowds, with an envious and disdainful look in his eyes.

Behind Hong Anque, more than a dozen men were standing respectfully. They were all shopkeepers in this market, including the shopkeeper Qiu who reported the news yesterday.

Manager Qiu lowered his head and said half enviously to Hong Anque, "Young Master Hong, you have also seen that those untouched people are now crazy, as if they are not as busy as money. They don't think about how much money they can have in their pockets, and they can't live a life in the future?"

A middle-aged man who was white and fat like Maitreya Buddha also complained: "Master Hong, the Royal Trading Company of the Ming Dynasty suddenly came with such a move, which is to disrupt our deployment these days."

Hong Anque chuckled, and the folding fan in his hand was opened with a "brush", revealing a picture of a lady. He saw him gently shaking the fan and laughing: "Why are you panic? The Royal Trade Company of the Ming Dynasty is just struggling to death. If they sell these things at normal prices, this young master might be able to see them more than they can, but now in order to win people's hearts, they actually sell these things at a low price. How long can such a transaction last? So I assert that in a few days they will inevitably fall into the point where they have no goods to sell."

"Young Master is right, we can't wait!"

The people next to him quickly talked about flattery and slapped them over.

Listening to the flattery of everyone, Hong Anque showed an proud smile on his face: "But even though he said that, we can't sit still and do things. Are you ready for everyone you arranged?"

Everyone bowed and said, "Reply to the young master, all the villains have been arranged."

Hong Anque nodded: "Then let them start. I want to see how much goods they have prepared."

When Hong Anque said this, the shopkeeper Qiu, who was standing next to him, clearly saw a trace of violence flashing in his eyes...

"Waiter... Give me two pounds of soy sauce and three pounds of salt!"

"Give me three pounds of old wine and another pound of vinegar!"

"By the way, show me that mirror!"

Forced to suppress the strange emotions in his heart, the guy coughed and asked, "Since you are here to buy things, what do you want to buy?"

"We want to buy these... these... these..." The man pointed at the cloth on the stall, "We want all these."

"Customer, are you here to enjoy us?" The guy showed anger on his face. He really thought he was a character, so he came here to play with me.

Just as the guy wanted to call the sergeant who maintained order to drive these people away, something surprised him happened. The guy who obviously didn't look like a kind person actually took a wallet from his waist and was still on the counter. He said proudly: "Here, guy, please take a look, see if the money is enough to buy all the fabrics on your counter?"

"Bang……"

With a dull sound, the guy who was about to have an attack was stunned. He took his purse and opened it. He saw that there were seven or eight silver ingots inside, probably seven or eighty taels. Moreover, these silver ingots looked as crystal clear as snowflakes, and they were snowflake-shaped, which was the best snowflake silver.

"How about it, is this silver enough to buy all the fabrics here?" Looking at the stiff-faced guy, the man sneered proudly. To be honest, he used fists and weapons to reason with people on weekdays. It was the first time he hit someone with money. This feeling was really... very special.

After a while, the guy took a deep breath and said, "Sorry, if you want to buy all the materials on our counter, I will ask our shopkeeper for instructions."

"What, someone else is going to buy everything there?"

Soon, the shopkeeper Qiu, who was in charge here, immediately received a report from the people below, and he immediately realized the abnormality of the matter.

"It must be those people who took action. Their counterattack came so fast!" Manager Qiu frowned.

The guy who reported the news was also anxious: "Big shopkeeper, what should we do? Those people took out a lot of money to buy all our things as soon as they arrived. Although the villain knew that something was wrong, there was no reason not to sell them. After all, when we open the door to do business, there is no reason to push customers out!"

"Yes, the big shopkeeper, the people in the villain are even more overwhelming. They will buy all the farm tools and iron tools sold by the villain. The villain doesn't know how to answer them now."

"There are also people who don't even let go of the straw paper. As soon as they come, they shouted to buy everything. When the villain saw something was wrong, they came over and reported the news."

Listening to the reports of these guys, Manager Qiu gritted his teeth: "You go and stabilize those people first, and you must not let them buy everything. I will report to the boss immediately and see what the boss says."
