Chapter 840: Chapter 223: Victory in the Grain War, Fishing Guild Collective Major Upgrade (10,000 Words Subscription Request)_3

It’s not too late, at the moment, Zhu Chongba has just married Ma Xiuying, yet hasn’t shown his full potential.

Whereas Chen Jiusi and Zhang Shicheng have just become leaders of the Salt Guild not long ago, similar to my current situation. I have to say these two truly deserve to be this era’s Heir of Heavenly Mandate, as they’ve already begun to stand out.

The world is in turmoil, I need to work harder too.

Great affairs of the future will still have to be settled by the three of us.

Chen Jie chatted casually with Shen Wansan for a while, using Shen Wansan’s broad perspective from traveling around, he gained a renewed understanding of the current world.

Indeed, it’s as though a storm is brewing, ready to engulf everything; the entire world now resembles a powder keg.

Just short of a spark to ignite it, once lit, the whole world will explode.

And us, Zhu Chongba, Chen Jiusi, are like Hidden Dragons lurking beneath the surface, ready to emerge and take a fierce bite of this world’s big opportunity.

Thinking this way, Chen Jie saw Shen Wansan off.

Meanwhile, Xiao Hu was also called back to take charge of the grains Shen Wansan had and use silver to purchase all the grains from the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce.

After Chen Jie took over the full 250,000 stones of grain from the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce, the first thing he did was to start wildly crashing the market.

Within almost a day’s time, he crashed the grain price to the pre-disaster levels.

At the Beggar Sect’s base.

Upon hearing the market grain price had dropped to ten cents a pound, Zhou Peng was completely flabbergasted, his eyes widened as he said: ”How, how is this possible!”

The same shocked expression appeared on Liu Rong from the Firewood Guild, and the two major scholar families in the city, the Zhang family and the Wang family.

All these people were dumbfounded, how, how is this possible, ten cents a pound, before the disaster, even Mianshui grain prices exceeded ten cents, some better quality grains were sold for eleven cents.

How is it, after such a massive flood, that the grain price is lower now?

They struggled to accept this reality.

Liu Rong from the Firewood Guild looked at Zhou Peng and said: ”Guild Leader Zhou, is this the turnaround you mentioned?”

”Is this what you meant by Lord Yelu intervening, now look, all our grains are stuck in our hands!”

”Indeed, Guild Leader Zhou, what should we do now, it’s ten cents, if we wait longer it might be even less valuable.” Landlord Zhang also complained.

Landlord Wang with a face like he’s lost his dearest said: ”I was counting on these grains to turn my fortune around, now it’s all for nothing, just not losing everything is already fortunate!”

Hearing Landlord Wang’s words, everyone felt dejected, like defeated chickens.

Seeing everyone’s demeanor, Zhou Peng said with a bitter face: ”Everyone, you have to trust Lord Yelu, the grain price can definitely rise again, hold on folks!”

Just then, suddenly a Beggar Sect subordinate ran in from outside saying: ”Gang Leader, big, big trouble!”

Zhou Peng asked: ”What’s wrong?”

”The Black Market grain price dropped again, now it’s nine cents a pound.”

”What!”

Hearing this, Landlord Wang jumped in shock, the grain price is now cheaper than before the flood?

The subordinate said with a troubled face: ”Landlord Wang, there’s nothing we can do, the Suzhou Chamber of Commerce somehow went mad and sold all their 250,000 stones of grain to the Fishing Guild.”

”With this 250,000 stones, the Fishing Guild has almost 400,000 stones of grain, there’s a surplus.”

”With the Fishing Guild determined to crash the price, naturally the price falls, plus rumors are saying the Fishing Guild’s plan to lower the price is not over, it’s going down further.”

”Lower? If it lowers any more, how am I supposed to live, I don’t care anymore.”

Landlord Wang got up and walked out, Zhou Peng quickly called out: ”Landlord Wang, what are you going to do?”

Landlord Wang said: ”Sell the grain, I can’t let these grains trap me here.”

With that said, he hurriedly left. Watching Landlord Wang depart, Liu Rong and Landlord Zhang also turned around and left.

”Where are you going?”

Zhou Peng asked, hearing this, Liu Rong and Landlord Zhang replied: ”To sell grain.”

As Zhou Peng watched everyone leave, only the subordinate remained standing in place, Zhou Peng looked at him and said: ”Why are you looking at me like that?”

”Ah, Gang Leader, I...”

”Hurry and sell the grain!”

”Yes, yes, alright.”

The subordinate hurriedly rushed out, Zhou Peng sat on the ground, stunned, Chen Jiusi, are you human or a ghost, under such dire circumstances, you managed to drive down the grain price, you are terrifying.

...

Yelu Mansion!

Crack!

A Ru kiln brush washer was directly smashed onto the ground by Yelu, his face hysterically twisted: ”What did you say?”

At this moment, the guard commander Ahetai standing below shivered all over, nervously saying: ”My Lord, the merchants of Suzhou sold all their grain to the Fishing Guild, the Fishing Guild has now driven the grain price to nine cents, even lower than before the flood.”

”What about Zhou Peng and the others?”

Yelu then asked the name of his subordinate, hearing this, Ahetai replied: ”They, they are now scrambling to sell grain!”

Hearing this, Yelu angrily swept all the items on the table to the ground: ”A bunch of worthless fools, useless!”

Yelu shouted in rage, just one Chen Jiusi and they couldn’t handle him.

Angrily biting his silver teeth, Yelu wished to tear these few incompetents apart, but now there’s nothing he can do, Chen Jiusi has grown increasingly strong.

Just as Yelu was on the verge of dismantling the house in fury.

A voice came into Yelu’s room.

”Heh, Lord Yelu, why are you so angry?”

Upon hearing this, Yelu turned his head and quickly saw that Yu Man’er, who had been gone for a long time, surprisingly returned.
