Han Wangran nodded and said that he would summon Baoyuan later.

At this time, Shen Buhai stroked his beard and said: "Although General Baoyuan has a bad temper, what he said does have some truth... At the moment, the merchants of Wei State are expelling our merchants from Qi State.

Bringing a large amount of goods to our country..." At this point, he sighed with shame: "I am ashamed, I never imagined that this move would have such a bad impact on our country."

The move he was talking about was the incident of Wei merchants dumping a large amount of goods into the Korean mainland.

It must be said that this is the limitation of knowledge. Even a wise Legalist like Shen Buhai had never thought of the dangers of dumping trade before.

Because logically speaking, Wei State dumped a large amount of goods to South Korea, which greatly increased South Korea's resources. This should be a good thing.

But the fact is exactly the opposite. After a large amount of Wei goods poured into South Korea, in a short period of time, they defeated local Korean merchants with their low prices, resulting in local Korean merchants having a large amount of goods piled up in their hands.

Unable to sell, it seriously affected South Korea's original economic and trade system.

Goods that can be stored for a long time, such as sheepskin, wool, and wine, are considered good, but goods that are not easy to store, such as lambs and fresh dates, will be lost.

What's even worse is that the despicable and treacherous merchants of Wei State also tried to destroy the price of rice in South Korea: it was clear that Wei State did not transport a lot of rice to South Korea, but they pretended to start a price war with South Korean rice merchants, which scared some people.

Korean rice merchants hurriedly sold the accumulated rice grains before the rice from Wei State arrived, causing the price of rice on the market to fall sharply.

Don’t think that a sharp drop in rice prices is a good thing. You must know that a sharp drop in rice prices actually harms the interests of farmers. As for rice merchants, especially those with great financial resources, they can completely hoard rice grains.

, quietly waiting for the price of rice on the market to rise.

The ultimate direct harm of this is that the market gradually begins to lack food, causing rice prices to rise crazily after falling. Although rice merchants make a lot of money from this, ordinary people have to pay several times the price to purchase it.

These grains - this is equivalent to harming the interests of the common people and aggravating class conflicts.

At this time, it is necessary to balance the price of rice through state regulation, so that the disadvantaged farmer groups will not suffer serious losses, causing more farmers to give up farming because they cannot make a living, and find other ways to make a living, which will increase the domestic farming population.

reduction; we also cannot allow some black-minded rice merchants who are obsessed with profit and attempt to make huge profits by hoarding grain and grass to get profits that should not belong to them.

"Is it a big impact?" After listening to Shen Buhai's detailed account, Han Wangran asked with a frown.

Shen Buhai nodded and said: "I don't know who offered this plan to the King of Wei, but this plan is quite sinister, maybe it is a descendant of my Legal family... Under the offensive of Wei merchants, our local merchants were retreating steadily.

, I got the news a few days ago

, several county towns in Julu County have been captured by Wei merchants. Ignorant people rushed to buy Wei's cheap goods, causing local shops in the county to make ends meet, and many of them closed their shops. If things go on like this, the country will not be able to survive.

country……"

"A merchant's war?"

Han Wangran murmured something. He had never thought before that the power of merchants could be so terrifying, so terrifying that it could destroy a country.

But it's no wonder. After all, in this era, how many people in the world can see through this?

"...That's why General Baoyuan made that suggestion to arrest those hateful Wei merchants." Kaifeng added matter-of-factly.

"But this matter is not appropriate." Han Kui immediately shook his head and said, "Merchant matters should be settled by business affairs. How can we send out troops for this? Doesn't this give Wei an excuse to send troops? In fact, even the world may

They will also laugh at me because there is no one in Korea."

After hearing this, Shen Buhai and Kaidi remained silent because everything Han Kui said made sense.

The problem is that they are really inexperienced in facing this unprecedented businessman's war and don't know how to resist it.

But then again, as Han Kui said, they really can't send out troops to expel and arrest those Wei merchants. After all, although the behavior of those Wei merchants is bad, their essence is not out of the category of "business" -

-The State of Wei did not send out troops because of this incident, let alone put swords on the necks of civilians in Qi and South Korea to force them to purchase goods from the State of Wei.

When Wei Guo still stood still, how could South Korea take the lead in committing unjust acts, dispatching troops, and using "force" to intervene in "commercial affairs"? - This is definitely not justified!

If South Korea really does this, and Wei Guo will use this matter as an excuse to attack South Korea in the future, I am afraid not many people in the world will side with South Korea.

Since it is absolutely forbidden to use force, then we can only think of countermeasures and use business to solve business as Han Kui said!

After pondering for a long time, Han Wangran said in a deep voice: "Wei's intention is very obvious. It is nothing more than to defeat our merchants, severely damage our economy, and make our country unable to succeed and unable to continue the confrontation with Wei in northern Xinjiang.

...However, if Zhao Run thinks that he can defeat Korea with this method alone, I can only think that he is an idiot and talking about dreams!"

Having said this, he looked serious and said seriously: "Since the Wei people prevent our country from doing business with the Qi people, then we, the Koreans, will start trade with the Hu Di tribe in the north. Although the Hu Di tribe in the northern plateau is far inferior to us in the Central Plains

Rich, but they also have the materials that Korea needs today, especially war horses and slaves..."

"Hu Di from the Northern Plateau?"

Shen Buhai stroked his beard thoughtfully.

Indeed, although the Central Plains once collectively referred to Donghu, Chidi and other foreign ethnic groups that were once distributed on the northern border of South Korea as Beidi, in fact, there are still more powerful foreign ethnic groups further to the north. However, due to various reasons, those powerful

The foreign races did not come to invade the Central Plains, and they even knew very little about the affairs of the Central Plains.

Originally, as a proud Central Plains country, South Korea did not disdain to trade with these foreign ethnic groups, but now that they have been forced to a dead end by the Wei State, they can only lose face and try to negotiate and communicate with those foreign ethnic groups.

See if there can be any breakthrough.

After all, in the Central Plains, Korean merchants were really no match for Wei merchants.

"Let Shanggu County come forward..." Han Wangran said subconsciously.

The reason why I say this is because Shanggu County in South Korea has the best relationship with foreign races in the whole of Korea. This is due to the former Sanggu Governor Ma She. He advocated dividing the foreign races, which not only attracted some foreigners who were friendly to Korea, but also attacked others.

——Under this decision, many foreign warriors with different looks from the Central Plains appeared in the Shanggu Army, especially the Shanggu cavalry, half of whom were Lou Fanren, and they were very brave warriors.

However, halfway through, Han Wangran's words came to an abrupt end because he suddenly thought that Ma She, the former guardian of Shanggu, had already passed away.

After thinking for a moment, he thought of a person who could replace the former Shanggu guard Ma She, that is, Yuyang guard Qin Kai - he was also a famous Central Plains general who was difficult to defeat in the eyes of foreigners.

"What about at home?" he asked openly.

Han Wangran thought for a while and said: "In the counties and cities within our country, the court calls on the domestic nobles to come forward to resist the merchants of Wei State... As for the rest, we need the help of Qi State."

Hearing this, Kaandi and Han Kui looked at each other in confusion. They did not think that Qi State had the guts to risk angering Wei State to help them.

And at this moment, Han Wangran smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, I already have an idea in my mind."
