As the dinner progressed, Zhuo Yao learned that Xiaobao had actually integrated several of the largest gangs in recent years. As far as he knew clearly, the Kuang Family Travel and the Boat Gang, and he had vaguely noticed that the jade-picking workers came from more gangs in Vos.

What made him just surprised and forgot to eat was a conversation between Xiaobao and Qiao Wanqi:

Xiaobao asked: "How many explosive packs have been made?"

Qiao Wanqi: "The explosives are 12,000 kilograms, and a pack of ten kilograms. Anyway, if they are concentrated, it will be wealthy to explode the palace."

Xiaobao asked casually, and Qiao Wanqi answered indifferently.

Blast the palace?!

"You," Zhuo Yao said in amazement.

"For example! What are you calling!" Qiao Wanqi said impatiently.

This person is so old that he is not as steady as me, Old Qiao. He is obviously a loser. How could Xiaobao be so happy to call me "My family, right?"?

It has to be said that the unruly people are unruly people, and their fear of imperial power is almost zero. I am afraid that only their own lives can be feared.

For people like Qiao Wanqi who have been bullied by officials and have a grudge against the family, they may have put their lives and death aside, and living a day is considered a day of profit.

Therefore, Qiao Wanqi casually said "exploding the palace", and Zhuo Yao was shocked.

"It's still a little less," Xiaobao said.

Ten thousand pounds, it’s almost the same as blowing up the emperor’s bedroom. If the entire palace is blown up, it’s still 100,000 pounds.

"Xiaobao?!" Zhuo Yao exclaimed again.

Xiaobao looked at him with a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Zhuo Yao stopped talking.

"Don't worry, Lao Qiao won't say it anymore, give an example." Xiaobao finally gave an explanation that was not like an explanation.

Xiaobao really didn't think about bombing the palace. The emperor released his mother. So he released himself too. So he didn't want to bomb the palace, just preparing.

************************

In winter, water and land transportation in various places seem to be greatly alleviated. The land is not smooth, but in terms of water, some sections of the northern rivers are frozen, and they are still not very smooth.

The materials transported by the official are still mainly food, so the food prices in Kyoto fell, but they still did not fall to normal levels.

In order to solve the problem of winter, local governments had to requisition private transportation forces to help the circulation of 32 materials.

At this time, a strange phenomenon occurred: although the grain prices in Kyoto did not return to the initial level, prices were reduced in other aspects, so that many shops were facing bankruptcy.

This incident is interesting. It is said that after more than three months of delay, the Chu family's goods finally arrived in Kyoto after a lot of trouble. In addition, the number was so large that they had to rent all the warehouses in the suburbs of Beijing.

Moreover, I heard that another batch of goods that were delayed will arrive soon and are discussing the lease with the Shekang and Yikang in Ji County.

Yichuang is a private reserve organized by the state for the purpose of disaster relief and self-help. It is a public welfare granary set up by local governments to prevent famines. It is usually not full or even almost empty.

After all, there are policies and countermeasures at the top. When the court requires construction, local governments have to handle it. However, the charity warehouse is to store grain collected from the people. If there is no grain among the people, what should I use to fill the warehouse?

The nature of the social warehouse is the same as the charity warehouse, but the construction location is different.

Yichuang is usually built in public locations designated by the local government, while social warehouses are scattered in various villages.

As a private person, the Chu family can only apply for such a public warehouse, and the rest are not qualified.

At this time, the Kyoto business districts that had previously hoarded goods suddenly became panicked.

Did their price gouging result in the fact that the goods were thrown into their own hands?

How big is the commercial warehouse in the suburbs of Beijing? It is actually full of land? Not enough?

So can the goods they have in hand still be sold? Don’t say that the price does not increase, even if it drops back to the original price, I’m afraid no one will buy it?

The people are happiest because they heard that a large number of cotton, wool and winter clothes are about to enter the city. Not only can they live a warm and harmonious year, they may not have to spend so much money in previous years.

It is actually not difficult to control the amount of supplies in Kyoto.

First of all, any country must give priority to ensuring the supply of materials in the capital, so the official transportation channels are not disturbed unless there is force majeure.

The way to transport goods in Daxuan is to transport goods, which means that goods from all over the country are organized into similar materials, one group is called a group. This way to transport goods in batches is to transport goods.

Because the transportation routes started to be poor before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the main purpose of transporting food was always to ensure that the grain prices in Kyoto could fall in a short period of time, and as time goes by, prices will continue to be reduced.

As long as people cannot starve to death, the people will not rebel, so ensuring the supply of food is to preserve the foundation.

Other supplies do not seem so urgent. When the food is transported, the next batch will be transported with other daily necessities, such as winter clothes.

However, some sections of the northern rivers are frozen, and the water transportation routes are still tight. As time goes by, the weather will only get colder and colder. It will take a long time for other daily necessities to be transported to Kyoto, so merchants dare to stock up and control prices.

In the transportation industry of Daxuan, due to the post-war economic recovery of the country, the proportion of private transportation has become equal to that of official transportation.

Moreover, the advantages of private transportation are higher than those of the official. For example, when it comes to shipping goods, the official must receive goods at designated locations and pay high freight fees. However, private transportation costs about 20% less than the official, and for small batches of goods, they can be delivered to your door.

Just like before, the Duke Cheng Guo’s Mansion ordered a batch of black-glazed porcelain, and Xiaobao led the Sanshun Escort Agency to deliver goods to the mansion.

At the same time, as the private transportation industry began to become active, the corresponding residences also became active.

Didian is a thing that accompanies and relies on the transportation industry. It mainly helps customers store goods, travel and residence transactions, and also has the commercial functions of inns and warehouses.

While integrating the north-south transportation routes, Shui Maomao and Xiao Sining not only added many di stores, but also merged many existing di stores. While providing powerful services for the transportation and storage of their own goods, it also controls the private transportation industry.

So as long as you drag on it, in another two or three months, as the weather warms, transportation will be smooth and Kyoto's supplies will be able to be fully supplied.

The key is these two or three months.

The Chu family now piled up goods to warehouses in suburban Beijing. In fact, the total amount of materials required for Kyoto is overflowing. After all, the supply and demand ratio is fixed, but it is a powerful threat to the Kyoto business district at this time.

Now, the goods that merchants hoarded for making a fortune when winter comes will soon be affected by the Chu family's goods. Can't they have to stand the utmost?

No, how could the merchants surrender?

They accept losses, but they will not accept losses. If they must lose money, they cannot pay for nothing. They must suppress the person who makes them lose money to the end, and they must not turn over and then swallow his goods.

On the third day of the winter moon, the Kyoto business district secretly organized a meeting.

The meeting was attended by the owners or shop owners of shops from various Kyoto, and the meeting kicked off in a gloomy atmosphere.

In order to achieve the goal of "holding the price and suppressing the Chu family", all the members of the meeting actively and carefully analyzed the current situation.

In response to the issue of Chu family goods entering Kyoto in large quantities, members actively thought of ways and made bold assumptions, and conducted in-depth discussions based on the consumption needs of different classes in Kyoto.

Finally, based on the common interests of "joining hands to advance and retreat, and dividing the Chu family's goods", the discussion and unanimous decision: we will not conduct vicious price reductions between each other, but will reduce them together to a unified price, which must be priced below the Chu family's price.

When the Chu family presses the price to 20% below the cost price, they will take action at the same time and join hands with the Chu family's goods together, resulting in the Chu family's blood loss and unable to gain a foothold in Kyoto.

After that, they will also jointly raise the price to their psychological price.

"Isn't it good to not say that the Chu family is losing money, but they also take the initiative to deliver goods to their doorsteps. Isn't this good? Hahahaha." They said.
