Of course, in addition to the documents given to these grain merchants, there is also a sentence from Mr. Zhou and a threatening sentence...

"If they do not sell the grain to the Governor's Office, the price of grain tomorrow will further drop to two taels of silver per pound. At the same time, the price of grain purchased by the Governor's Office will also drop from two taels of silver to one taels of five coins..."

If it were put before, they would definitely think that the Governor's Office would say a big talk...

However, grain traders who have experienced this business war on grain prices and have seen a series of means by the Governor's Office have no idea of ​​continuing to oppose the Governor's Office in Shanxi and Shaanxi...

Grain merchants from all over the country were like wolves smelling blood, rushing to the Governor's Mansion, rushing to sell the high-priced grain in their hands to the Governor's Mansion at a very low price...

In the lobby of the Governor's Office, after learning about the various means used by Mr. Zhou in this business war and the final gains, Wei Zheng finally believed in one sentence, that is, "there is a specialty in skills."

Wei Zheng knew very well that even if this matter was left to him, even if he had hundreds of years of experience in his future generations, he would not have been able to achieve such a great victory in this business war.

After a heartfelt smile appeared on his face, Wei Zheng praised without hesitation.

"Mr. Zhou, you did a good job... Now it seems that being the director of the Foreign Trade Department is the best choice for both Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces..."

After saying that, Wei Zheng, whose eyes were shot out of the light, continued to ask with expectation.

"Mr. Zhou, what are you going to do next?"

Old Zhou answered with a serious face...

“There are two things to do in total.”

"One is to raise the price of grain again. Otherwise, because the grain price falls, the most loss will be the ordinary people who farm. You must know that in a short time, the autumn grain will be collected, and the people will never suffer any losses."

"The second is to start fulfilling the responsibilities of the Foreign Trade Department... Although the batch of grain collected from the grain merchants earned seven or eight million taels of silver for the Governor's Office. However, if it is sent to the capital city that is very short of grain, it can still earn at least four million taels of silver. Therefore, the officials plan to find a way to transport this batch of grain from Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces to reduce inventory and welcome autumn grain."

"In addition, the autumn harvest of military farms in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces is about to be. In order to ensure the stability of the grain prices of the two provinces and to earn more money through this batch of grain, the Foreign Trade Department must start from now on and prepare to collect grain from the people and the people... As long as the Governor's Office continues to collect grain, the grain prices can be stable and there will be no sharp drop."

Wei Zheng nodded, and the satisfied smile on his face became stronger.

Without thinking, he ordered: "Mr. Zhou, don't worry, I am handsome..."

"Purchase grain from the people of the tun to ensure the stability of the grain price... Both of these things require a lot of money. Therefore, I decided, Mr. Zhou, you earn seven or eight million taels of silver in this business war. Including the subsequent grain sales income, all of them will be kept in the Foreign Trade Department for spare..."

"I want to see it. In a few months, Mr. Zhou, how much money can you earn from the Governor's Office?..."

When Wei Zheng cleared away dissidents step by step in the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, turning the two provinces into their increasingly stable bases, military advisor Zhou Shuyuan once again sent himself a piece of information about the imperial court's imitation of firearms.

Although Wei Zheng attaches great importance to the information content, what really scared Wei Zheng was the person who came out of the capital... Luo Yangxing, the commander of the former Jinyiwei who had resigned and returned home.

Because he helped the Tiger and Leopard Army talk many times, and had some unclear relationships with the Tiger and Leopard Army. Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Jinyiwei, took the initiative to call the court sick and resign to his post to avoid causing trouble.

However, as a veteran of the officialdom, Luo Yangxing would never say goodbye to the power so readily.

Even if he resigned from office and was recuperating at home, Luo Yangxing's eyes and ears were spread all over the capital, and he could always understand the latest situation between the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi and the imperial court, so as to judge who would win the final victory in this military confrontation.

When the Tiger and Leopard Army used hundreds of elite troops to eliminate more than 10,000 official troops in Laizhou Bay, Luo Yangxing's ears were heard. Although Luo Yangxing was filled with shock, he did not lose his rationality and analysis ability.

Based on his understanding of the Tiger and Leopard Army, after some comparison and analysis, Luo Yangxing directly came up with news that shocked him very much.

Unless the court directly mobilizes border troops to attack Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, with the current strength of the Tiger and Leopard Army, no matter how many local troops are dispatched by the court, they will die in front of the powerful Tiger and Leopard Army, and will not have any effect.

Of course, Luo Yangxing also considered the two decisions of the imperial court to build and equip new firearms to blockade the two provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi.

However, in Luo Yangxing's opinion, although imitating firearms is very helpful in enhancing the combat effectiveness of the official army, it will not have much impact on this military confrontation between the imperial court and Shanxi provinces in a short period of time.

Besides, as an opponent, the Tiger and Leopard Army may have watched the imperial court equip the new firearms they have worked hard to develop. The answer is yes.

As for the imperial edict of the imperial court to blockade the Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces, Luo Yangling, who knew the true strength of the Tiger and Leopard Army better than the court, and he smiled and left it with a smile. Because in Luo Yangxing's eyes, the imperial sealing of the court had no effect on the Tiger and Leopard Army.

In this case, the military confrontation between the court and the Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces will end with the victory of the Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces and the court bows its head.

Faced with the result he inferred, Luo Yangling, who was thinking of getting the best interests for himself, immediately made a decision: temporarily turn to the Tiger and Leopard Army, use his connections in the court to inform the Tiger and Leopard Army, so as to gain the favorable impression of the Tiger and Leopard Army guards for him, and let the Tiger and Leopard Army, a warlord who could not be eliminated by the court, be his backing.

So, the imperial court had just issued a secret order to draw craftsmen from various places to imitate tiger and leopard arms, and Luo Yangxing passed the content of the imperial edict to Datong through the Jinyiwei channel and delivered it to Wei Zheng.

After reading the information, Wei Zheng didn't know why Luo Yangxing helped him at this time. Wasn't he afraid that the court would know, put him in a hat of a bandit and finally get rid of him?

However, Wei Zheng at this moment no longer had the mood or energy to consider this issue.

He was thinking about how many new firearms the Tiger and Leopard Army now equipped, there are so many imperial courts that can be used to imitate. After the imperial court imitates and equips the army, what kind of harm will it bring to the soldiers under his command...

Soon, Wei Zheng's frowns and relaxes.
