Lu Buwei relied on white pigeons to send messages to control matters in Han. He sent white doves from Yiyang to control the cities in Han, and each city in Han sent white doves to Yiyang to inform Lu Buwei of the progress.
By observing the flight path of white doves in the sky, Zhang Liang determined that Lu Buwei was in Yiyang within seven days, and mobilized the Yiyang family to find Lu Buwei's location.
Only then could a letter reach Lu Buwei's hands, asking Lu Buwei to come here to play chess.
Now that Lu Buwei is here, Zhang Liang thought that as long as he wanted, he could become Lu Buwei on the spot, leaving the Lu Chamber of Commerce leaderless and breaking the situation by draining fuel from the bottom of the cauldron.
When the letter was sent, Zhang Liang did not know whether Lu Buwei would come to keep the appointment, but that was not important.
Because Zhang Liang spent money in the past few days, mobilized the family, and captured all the harriers and raptors in Korea, all of which had been tamed and obeyed the command of a dedicated person.
As long as Zhang Liang is willing, not a single homing pigeon will be left in the sky over Yiyang, and Lu Buwei will have nothing to do.
If the major cities in Korea cannot receive Lu Buwei's orders in time, it is no different than Lu Buwei's death. Anyway, Korea is in a leaderless situation.
"No need."
Lu Buwei shook his head.
When Zhang Liang's letter arrived, he knew what Zhang Liang called the general trend.
In the past, I only knew that Zhao Ji was a thoughtful woman, but I never thought that Zhang Liang, who looked like a woman, was also like this.
Appearances come from the heart. This boy looks like a woman, and his heart is also like a woman. I am indeed a bit arrogant about this.
Before Lu Buwei came to Korea, although Ying Chengyu told him that Zhang Liang was extremely smart, he still didn't think highly of Zhang Liang.
After receiving that letter, he put away his contempt for Zhang Liang and regarded Zhang Liang as his opponent.
Picking up a handful of white stones and scattering them randomly on the table, Lu Buwei said: "This is the general trend."
The white stones were just like the black stones, jumping around and scattered on the chessboard.
Zhang Liang tentatively said: "Sir, are you saying that now each city only needs to follow your previous orders, and you don't need to control them personally?"
The reason why it was a test rather than a confirmation was because Lu Buwei's "stop" had left a deep impression on him.
If Lu Buwei now said, "I don't think so, even if you throw away a handful of chess pieces, I have to throw away a handful of chess pieces," he wouldn't be surprised, he would just be a little depressed.
Fortunately, Lu Buwei didn't make him depressed.
Lu Buwei nodded and said approvingly: "Such intelligence is not common."
"Sir, now you think you can take over my Korean territory?"
"Of course."
"All general trends are irreversible. Since you are so sure, sir, why don't you let me tell you clearly?"
Lu Buwei smiled and said: "You have made a good calculation. There is nothing irreversible in this world before it comes. If you can think of it, think of it. If you don't think of it, just wait and follow me back to the Qin Dynasty."
Zhang Liang lowered his head and placed the white stones belonging to Lu Buwei on the table one by one.
"I have made some guesses, but I don't know whether they are right or wrong. I will tell you now, Mr. Yu."
"Can."
Lu Buwei answered very casually.
He is a businessman, he started his career as a businessman, and what he is best at is business warfare.
Zhang Liang came from the Zhang family and served as the prime minister of Han Dynasty for five generations. He played in power and politics.
Even the business elites who made money around the world for Ying Chengyu didn't know what he was going to do, and he didn't think Zhang Liang could guess it.
This is not because he still looks down upon Zhang Liang, but because he feels that the two are not in the same field.
"Sir's general trend should be related to the blacksmith shops in Han Dynasty."
Zhang Liang raised his head and saw Lu Buwei's sudden sitting posture and his solemn eyes.
He knew he was right.
Zhanyan smiled and said: "Right?"
Korea is one of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, and it is also the end of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.
Because of their martial arts, the Korean royal family is not so much a royal family as it is the largest aristocratic family in Korea, and has no absolute control over the major aristocratic families in Korea.
Korea's politics are not good, and its military is not good, but the aristocratic families are not bad at all, and everyone is full of money.
South Korea has existed for more than two hundred years. Anyone who can be called an aristocratic family must have a lot of pig iron hidden in their home - this is hard currency.
After Lu Buwei tripled the iron price in Han Dynasty, all the iron on the market was quickly wiped out. At this time, Lu Buwei said that the iron price would be five times the price.
So the Han family was extremely happy.
Isn’t it just iron? We have plenty, and we’ll give it all to you!
Seeing this opportunity to make a fortune, major aristocratic families in Korea opened blacksmith shops in their cities to sell iron!
In less than seven days, there were at least twenty ironsmith shops in each city in South Korea, all of which were selling iron to Lu Buwei.
At this time, not to mention the Zhang family and Zhang Liang, not even the King of Korea can stop these aristocratic families - to cut off people's wealth is to kill my father and mother, the Zhang family is nothing!
After Zhang Liang observed this incident, although he initially didn't understand the logic behind it and didn't know what Lu Buwei was going to do, he could add some trouble to Lu Buwei.
Zhang Liang flew pigeons to spread messages to all the important families.
He did not ask the major aristocratic families to stop selling iron, but he asked the major aristocratic families to drive up the price of iron.
Since the Lu Chamber of Commerce is willing to accept iron at five times the price, it may be willing to pay seven times the price. Let's raise the price of iron together and see if the Lu Chamber of Commerce accepts it. If not, we will sell it to him at five times the price.
When the major families in Korea heard this, they thought it was okay - the Zhang family is the leading family and works for everyone's benefit, so listen.
Some small aristocratic families in Korea are afraid that the Lu Chamber of Commerce will not accept the offer and are unwilling to do so.
But these small aristocratic families do not stand with the major aristocratic families and cannot afford to offend the Zhang family.
Overnight, all the blacksmith shops in Korea were selling iron at seven times the market price.
Zhang Liang's move can make Lu Buwei spend money, and secondly, it can let him see Lu Buwei's determination to tighten the iron, and verify what he thinks in his heart.
Lu Buwei received the news and smiled softly.
What you have is iron, and what I have is money. Let’s not sell it seven times, but ten times. Should I sell it?
This suddenly caused the Handi family to lose control, and the mad selling continued to this day. The blacksmith shop continues to import pig iron every day, and all the iron mines in Handi work day and night.
Some extremely greedy families wanted to raise the price of iron, so they approached Zhang Liang and wanted him to take the lead.
Zhang Liang refused.
Zhang Liang knew very well that the Zhang family could only allow everyone to raise the price of iron to seven times the limit. This was to give the Zhang family face.
Most aristocratic families are not stupid. They all know that the price of iron will one day return to the starting point, and they all know that the Lu Chamber of Commerce is definitely not a charity.
If the Chamber of Commerce can collect iron at ten times the price, it must be able to make a profit of more than ten times the price. There will definitely be some profit at this price, but it shouldn't be much.
This is the consensus reached by most aristocratic families.
It would be easy to raise the price of iron at this time. If Zhang Liang dares to raise the price, it will consume the prestige of the Zhang family in Korea.
At this moment, all the major cities in South Korea are extremely deformed, and every street is filled with blacksmith shops.
"Anyone who comes to Han can see that the Korean iron shop is out of control at this moment. If you are not deceiving me, just keep talking."
Lu Buwei said in a deep voice.
He just didn’t believe that Zhang Liang had seen through it all!
