Chapter 33 Plans Are Not as Fast as Changes

When Zhang Hao returned to Fangshi again, he saw that the gate of the Zhang family was busier than the square of the previous city lord's mansion, and it was crowded.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Hao was shocked.

Someone next to him said: "It's not the black iron's fault. The price of the black iron has been falling recently, and the currency has been affected.

In the past, almost two iron coins could buy a catty of brown rice. Now, three iron coins, or even four.

No, everyone wants to ask the Zhang family to clarify. "

Zhang Hao looked dumbfounded—I'm going, the plan went wrong!

Originally, they wanted to use the drop in the price of black iron to urge everyone to unite, and then the Zhang family could take the opportunity to win over a group of people and public opinion, and establish an existence similar to associations and guilds.

I don't want to make an economic crisis.

Want something bad!

If an economic crisis is really going to happen, this small Qixia country may not be able to bear it.

Zhang Hao hadn't really considered the issue of currency devaluation before, partly because the currency system in this world is rather special.

The currency here is not a 'symbol', but has real purchasing power. Whether it is black iron coins or spirit stones, they are cultivation resources and have their own value.

What's more, before Zhang Hao always thought about the Zhang family, he didn't think about ordinary people.

But now, you have to think about it.

Zhang Hao squeezed forward with difficulty, feeling the anger of the people.

This should probably be regarded as the world's first economic crisis, or the eve of the economic crisis.

The rapid progress of black iron technology has led to the rapid depreciation of the currency called "black iron coin".

Most of the people who use 'black iron coins' are ordinary people, usually referring to those whose cultivation base is below the sixth level of the Qi refining stage, and those who have a little bit of capital are trading with spirit stones.

But ordinary people are also the most. Although it is a prosperous age of cultivation, ordinary people still account for more than 95%. Changes in the black iron market have directly shaken the lives of the general public.

But was the containment outbreak too sudden and violent?

Zhang Hao smelled a conspiracy.

After finally squeezing to the gate, they saw the people in front of them holding various magic tools, many of which were crafting tools, confronting the guards of the Zhang family.

Seeing several guards calling him, Zhang Hao quickly lowered his head and rushed into the gate. It would be a bad thing if he was caught by the rioters.

"Huhu..." Zhang Hao gasped for breath as he rushed into the gate. He walked so dangerously all the way just now, and was almost destroyed by the enthusiastic guards at the last moment. Once someone finds out, I'm afraid a fat beating will be inevitable.

"Master..." Several guards approached awkwardly.

"Okay, what's going on?"

"We don't know very well. We only know that not long after the young master left, people began to appear at the door. Then more and more people gathered. Everyone said that we stole their wealth."

Zhang Hao nodded thoughtfully, and he erupted so quickly, there was obviously a behind-the-scenes pusher. But this behind-the-scenes pusher is very smart, and he just stuck the weak point of the Zhang family's series of changes.

The power of the people is powerful, and it is also the easiest to be induced and used.

When Zhang Hao saw his father, Zhang Shengde was frowning. The sudden economic crisis was obviously beyond Zhang Shengde's comprehension.

Seeing Zhang Hao, Zhang Shengde smiled bitterly: "Are you scared?"

"It's okay, this matter looks troublesome, but in fact, don't worry about it at all."

"Oh?"

Zhang Hao smiled confidently: "They have been making trouble for a while! They are all ordinary people. Instead of continuing to make trouble, it is better to work quickly and support the family. The reality will make them come back to their senses.

Moreover, with so many people causing trouble, the City Lord's Mansion will not ignore it. We just sent two hundred tons of black iron.

Now that the Eastern Crusade is around the corner, we can help the country, and these ordinary people are thwarting the country's plans. How to choose is clear at a glance. "

In fact, within half an hour, the army arrived, and Feng Dongyuan even came to the door to apologize.

Zhang Hao leaned against the door, looked at the crowd who had no choice but to disperse, and shook his head slightly, with an inexplicable smile on his face. It seems helpless, but also mocking, compassionate, and cruel.

Society always has to move forward, and those who are unwilling to move forward will be ruthlessly crushed by the general trend of history.

The advancement of black iron technology will inevitably lead to the depreciation of 'black iron coins', which is unavoidable.

Right now, it can only be regarded as a small economic crisis; such a small economic crisis is far from being able to shake the foundation of this world.

Besides, for the masters of practice, spirit stones, pills, etc. are the real "advanced currency".

It is not impossible to eliminate the influence. But this requires the state to come forward.

But what Zhang Hao paid more attention to was who planned all this behind the scenes! This person must be found!

"Go to Yeyuelou to buy news." Zhang Shengde pointed out a clear path to Master Zhang Hao.

"Little brother has been running several times, let me go." Zhang Han went, but returned in a moment. "There is no news from Yeyue Building yet. But it is said that it will be delivered within 24 hours. The price will be discussed then."

…………

Early the next morning, Zhang Hao was woken up by the door. Pushing open the door, I saw that the unfinished yard was overcrowded again.

This time it was not ordinary people, but well-dressed people.

But these people are noisier than three thousand ducks.

Zhang Shengde stood on the steps, with a hint of displeasure on his face.

After listening to Zhang Hao for a while, he understood that it was still those small and medium-sized families and commercial firms who were pushed into a hurry.

Things are ridiculous.

At the beginning, they were encouraged by the Qian family, forcing Zhang Hao to disclose the water forging technique.

They were excited to get free technology.

However, the good times didn't last long, and they found that things were different from what they thought.

More big families and big business firms suddenly intervened in the black iron industry. Relying on their strong capital and low prices, these big families and big trading houses rushed into the black iron market like a tiger descending from the mountain, smashing the entire market to pieces.

As a result, it is even more difficult for small and medium-sized families and commercial firms that have obtained new technologies!

Seven days ago, representatives of some small and medium-sized families and commercial firms asked the Zhang family to come forward, but they were suppressed by Zhang Hao and Zhang Shengde.

Now, they are at it again.

However, they have not learned "humble".

Seven days passed, and they "figured it out" that the Zhang family was the culprit. So, today they came to Xingshi to inquire about their crimes!

Seeing this situation, Zhang Hao shook his head helplessly. At the same time, the pity in his heart gradually faded away.

Zhang Hao is now basically sure that the farce of ordinary people yesterday is inseparable from these people.

Although the dog jumps over the wall in a hurry.

But after jumping over the wall, a dog is still a dog!

Zhang Hao came to his father and whispered, "Father, these people are not worth helping at all!"

But Zhang Shengde shook his head: "The ones who want to help are almost desperate now. Desperate people will do a lot of crazy things."

"I'm afraid that if you help again and again, you will rely on us instead."

"No, just send them to the army." A sneer suddenly appeared on the corner of Zhang Shengde's mouth, "Isn't the country going to march eastward? These people just happened to be sent to the army!"

Zhang Hao suddenly discovered that his father also had a cold side.

But Zhang Hao thought for a while, but shook his head and said, "Father, sending him to the army...isn't it easy to operate?"

"It will cost you a lot of favors. Maybe you have to use your donation this time. But instead of keeping them in trouble, it's better to send them to the battlefield!"

Zhang Hao nodded affirmatively: "Father, I have a method, which may be simpler and easier to use."
