Merchants are always the most realistic. They will calculate the gains and losses of their interests no matter what they do. Being tied up by the Hao family on a chariot is obviously not a good deal, because although the benefits are large, the risks are also extremely high. No one is a fool. The court has two capitals and thirteen provinces, holding millions of elite soldiers and billions of subjects, and occupying the Taoist throne. After all, the Hao family is in a corner. Although there are many soldiers and many generals, they are still at a disadvantage.

Once you fight, you can't afford to pay your life and life together.

It is precisely because of this that the feeling of war-weariness spreads quickly. Everyone has become accustomed to the bright lights and wine, singing and dancing, and living a peaceful life. Who is interested in fighting to death?

This transaction is a loss.

Wu Changsheng, the owner of Changsheng Trading Company, is a representative figure. Changsheng was not his name. In fact, his former name was a bit unreasonable. It is said that seven or eight years ago, he was still the power of the Haiping Wharf. Then he gathered a group of brothers to load and unload people. He was good-minded and fair in his work. Soon many dock workers pushed him to do it. After a few years, he monopolized the power of the foot at several docks, and then got involved in the shipyard. Now he has become a giant in the ship industry. There are thousands of people under his command, including thirteen ships, and several prosperous shops in Langsan. Once he became rich, he naturally had to be proud of his ancestors. He first recognized Wu Guang as his ancestor, bought a huge house, built a ancestral hall, married a wife and concubine, and changed his name to himself without hesitation - Changsheng.

As a ship industry giant, Wu Changsheng has a greater influence than his business, because he entered the Lang Son Prison Office. This kind of man has always been responsible and dared to take risks. When the Western Rebellion was in trouble, he had many supporters for the Rebellion through Chen Xue, and for this reason. He deeply influenced the Western countries and had good personal relationships with the upstarts of various countries. Whether his ship arrived in Luzon or Sumatra, as long as his ship was famous, he would take care of himself.

Because of this, his transaction scale has been expanding, and now he even has an attempt to get involved in the mining industry. However, now, the sudden battle has dispelled all his plans. Wu Changsheng did not have much confidence in the battle situation in the court. This supervisor has already complained in many public occasions, and there are many people who agree. Everyone understands that the Hao family is a little unauthorized. If they discuss it with everyone in advance, everyone will never agree.

But at this moment, a message came.

The court issued an order to ban trade and suppress merchants.

As soon as this will was released, it soon spread in Lang Son.

Wu Changsheng got the news one afternoon. Wu Changsheng had a habit of going to a restaurant called Ruyi for dinner at this time. The chefs here are all famous chefs from Fujian, and Wu Changsheng is from Fujian. He has always praised the authentic taste here.

But when a servant quickly delivered a newspaper to Wu Changsheng. Wu Changsheng had already used the meal, served refreshments, and inserted his mouth with a napkin, and was about to have tea, he couldn't help but look at the news in the newspaper.

The most eye-catching news in the newspaper is the imperial decree.

Seeing this order, Wu Changsheng's face suddenly changed.

He shivered all over and said to the servant quickly: "What's the news there at the dock? When will the ship of silk be opened when we entered? And what's the warehouse of tea in the cargo warehouse? Quick, hurry up, list it immediately, sell it on the spot, how much can it be sold, and there are ships... I have also sold it, how many can I sell it."

But the servant said, "Master, I can't sell it anymore. Now it's listed and shipped everywhere, but no one cares about it. When the villain came just now, I heard that the silk had already dropped by two cents and said it would still fall..."

When Wu Changsheng heard this, he was stunned. It seemed that he was too late.

That's right, it's really late, because when the news came out, everyone was crazy about selling the backlog of goods in their hands. The reason was very simple, because nearly 50% of Lang Son's trade came from the 13 provinces of the two capitals. Now, the Ming Dynasty has completely cut off the trade route. This means that from now on, it has greatly increased the difficulty of selling goods to the 13 provinces of the two capitals and 13 provinces of the two capitals. Suddenly, it has lost such a large market. There are quite a few goods on the market, which means that there are oversupply. There are 500 pieces of silk on the market, but everyone has thousands of pieces of silk on their hands. What does it mean? Of course, if they don't sell them, they have to stay in their hands and rot. In order to rush to take action, they are now competing for bidding. If you get one yuan off, I dare to get two yuan off. If you get two yuan off, I will sell it at a loss.

A sale at a loss is better than a worthless one in your hand.

But the problem is that no one is fool, and the price of silk is constantly falling. Even if there is a demand for silk, they dare not eat at the moment. After all, who knows what the market will be tomorrow? It’s not certain that the price will fall! If the price plummets when the time comes, wouldn’t it be that there is no place to cry?

So, the result was that the more fierce the price of all kinds of commodities fell, the more they could not be sold. Everyone's goods were bought with real money. A few years ago, Lang Son's trading was a hot topic. The more they dared to invest, they could make as much money as they could. Therefore, everyone was crazy about investing. With ten taels of silver on them, they dared to eat one hundred taels of silver. Ten taels of silver belonged to their own, and ninety taels of silver were borrowed. Some were mortgaged from the money house, and some borrowed directly from relatives and friends with higher interests. After all, everyone knows that this is a business that must make money. As long as there is no mistake, you can make a lot of profits. Why not do it?

Now the Ming Dynasty suddenly bans trade. Many goods cannot be sold. Even if they are sold, they will definitely be sold at a loss. What does this mean? It means that everyone is finished.

That's right, it's really over. The court banned trade, which is to kill everyone.

Wu Changsheng was trembling all over. It would be fine if the court and the Hao family went to war. They would only ban trade. Although it was difficult to trade, they still had some food to eat. But now, the court has smashed his job, not only to ruin it, but will never be reborn in this life.

Thinking of the rotten goods in his hand, and thinking that his business will come to an abrupt end from now on. Although he was traveling to the Western countries, don’t forget that once trade is banned, all goods and ships will compete in the Western countries. It turned out that there were a thousand ships running in the Western countries. Now that the Ming Dynasty cannot get food, it is inevitable that the ships running along the Ming coast will also flock into the Western countries, but the demand for the Western countries is only so much. Is this still a way out?

In fact, Wu Changsheng's losses are still small. All the workshop owners in Lang Son face a problem. Should the workshop still be produced? If they do not produce and hire so many workers, will they all be fired? Will they order so many machines to make them mold? Will the rented shed allow them to breed weeds? But if it is produced, in the current market, it is afraid that as much as they produce, there will be a lot of goods to be accumulated. The goods are all silver. If the things cannot be sold, what will the workshop run and what will be paid to the craftsmen? At that time, there will be almost no way out except bankruptcy.

Thinking of this and the miserable situations that will happen next, Wu Changsheng just wished he could jump into the river or lie on the tracks. Anyway, these goods were rotten in his hands, and the creditors would come to the door sooner or later. Everything he managed would be in vain. Half of his life's efforts will eventually be gone.

This Wu Dongjia, who always smiles when he meets everyone, is sitting in a chair without moving.

"Bang!" Finally, Wu Changsheng slapped the table hard, with an angry face: "The court raised by the bitch, the gentry raised by the bitch, and the scholar raised by the bitch, I am so easy to bully. I am just like this, let you control it. If you don't give me a way out, I will fight with you."

This is what everyone thinks. These panicked merchants no longer have the calmness they used to be. They originally thought that they were rich enough to compete with the country and had become the number one figure, but now it seems that they are not in fact. An imperial edict will teach them that all of them will be destroyed and will never turn over.

Now that things have come to this point, everyone is certainly discussing solutions at the first time and convening a conference on the advice of the government immediately to solve the problems in front of them.

Wu Changsheng now went straight to the Imperial Affairs Bureau without saying a word. He was an Imperial Affairs Bureau and was qualified to participate in the conference. At this time, the trouble had already started in this Imperial Affairs Bureau. Everyone was in a mess, and news was communicating with each other one after another.

"Liu Ji Tiefang has stopped working. The craftsmen are making trouble now. The Liu Dong family is now surrounded by their own house and cannot even go out. I am afraid that they will not meet the requirements of the craftsmen. If they really make a life happen, it will be useless if the people from the Police Station go? What's the use of scaring? Isn't it natural for craftsmen to ask for wages? It's a matter of trouble now. I'm not afraid of anything, but I'm afraid of arousing public anger. Now the public anger is very big and very big. Many people feel that it's not good. Even if the workshop is still maintaining, there are people who want to ask for wages in advance."
