Chapter 575: Economic Warfare

"Since the lord thinks so now, then I will listen to the lord in everything."

Now Zhao Lin's address has changed a bit. He used to be called an adult, but now he is also called the lord.

So this also showed Zhao Lin's attitude, that he would follow Qin Shuo wholeheartedly from now on.

In ancient times, there was also an idiom called strange goods can live, the main one is a story of Lu Buwei.

Although Zhao Lin is now a captain and in charge of soldiers and horses, he actually has a kind of thinking unique to a business family in his mind.

It could be seen that he also saw that Qin Shuo was a rare commodity, so based on such a concept, he followed Qin Shuo wholeheartedly.

When Qin Shuo finished speaking, Zhao Lin had already left. At this time, Qin Shuo also had a smile on his lips. It seemed that he really should use his real strength.

After so many years, Qin Shuo has actually opened a lot of shops in this city, many of which have penetrated deeply, and even those shops have already figured out the identities of those aristocratic families, thinking that their The industry is all figured out.

Now the involvement of those aristocratic families and the property under Qin Shuo's hands is also

It is very deep, so Qin Shuo can also fight economic wars based on this. In fact, the concept of economic wars is not a very new thing at this time.

In fact, Guan Zhong should be regarded as the earliest master of economics in the whole country, because he also launched similar economic wars in the past, defeating others economically, and then occupying others politically. win over others.

Qi State does not like to use force to resolve disputes between countries, and prefers to use some gentle and immoral means, that is, to use economic means to bring down opponents.

Just like Hengshan, a small vassal state that is good at making weapons, Guan Zhong purchased a large number of them, causing all countries to compete for them, which caused the price to skyrocket, causing the people of the country to abandon agriculture and rush to make weapons.

Then, Guan Zhong ordered the monarch of Qi State to buy up all the food in the surrounding countries, and then suddenly canceled the arms order, which caused a great famine in the entire Hengshan State, so in the end, Qi State and Lu State took the opportunity to carve up Hengshan. country.

In fact, similar things are equivalent to economic wars. If military wars are fought against the national strength of the country, then this economic war is fought against the brains of the leaders.

Now Qin Shuo's economy is complete

He supported him in doing so, so after thinking it over, Qin Shuo immediately called Wang Fan over.

In fact, the shadow guard and the blood guard are like two bricks, they can be moved wherever they are needed, so when Qin Shuo was ready to come here before, he had already let them go first arrive.

Qin Shuo hadn't seen Wang Fan for almost two years now, and now Wang Fan was obviously more mature than before, and he didn't have the childishness before.

But now Wang Fan is still only an eighteen-year-old boy, but now he has become the leader of a shadow guard. In fact, this is also inseparable from his hard work.

After Qin Shuo left, he just wanted to perform better, so he has been working hard to make himself better, and now he has achieved initial results.

In fact, because Wang Fan was an orphan adopted by Qin Shuo from the beginning, he has always been grateful to Qin Shuo.

This kind of gratitude has gradually become a more complicated emotion, perhaps it can be said to be worship, and Qin Shuo is already regarded as a god in his mind.

After all, it was Qin Shuo who helped him when he was most helpless, so his work has always been

He worked very hard, and sometimes he could even guess what Qin Shuo was going to do next.

Only now did Qin Shuo know that in the two years before Qin Shuo left, the current Wang Fan had used his identity to infiltrate them and obtain a list.

"This list is those who oppose you, as well as the location of their shops, and the location of some of their fields. I think that the contracts of most of their tenants were obtained by me using some special means."

At this time, Wang Fan also took out a piece of paper, spoke, and handed it to Qin Shuo respectfully after speaking.

Qin Shuo looked at the shops above for a while, then nodded, and said, "Good job, I didn't expect it to be so detailed, then it will be able to strike more precisely."

"In the entire city, there should be only three families that can be called big families, and these three families have contacts with me. They use shop rents, granaries, and some handicraft products as the pillars of their families. Yes, it has already monopolized all industries."

Wang Fan also spoke, speaking in detail.

"The one in the granary is actually the one that is now engaged in

The family, if they can be dealt with well, then it is estimated that it will be of great benefit to their differentiation. "

Wang Fan spoke again, and still put forward his own suggestion.

Qin Shuo himself is not the kind of person who doesn't follow advice, now that Wang Fan has said so, Qin Shuo must agree.

"Then let's start with the granary first. Specifically, I will plan a little bit later. You go down first."

Qin Shuo nodded and said.

In fact, these grain stores have already been hit hard now. Because of the entry of grain from Shuobai City, their grain prices have also been greatly reduced, so the damage to them is not small.

It is also because of this reason that their family should also hate Qin Shuo very much, but Qin Shuo also hates them very much.

Changing the price of grain at will is an unforgivable thing in itself. For the sake of his own interests, he also disregarded the lives of the people in Shouchun City. This is no longer something Qin Shuo can forgive.

Now that Qin Shuo took them down, it actually relieved a lot of pressure on the common people. Qin Shuo himself was not afraid of them at all, so he didn't take them seriously.
