Chapter 686 Ants on a Hot Pot(1/2)
Things turned out exactly as Ying Yu expected, not even a month had passed.
Some businessmen have already begun to be unable to hold on. These businessmen all have modest financial resources and assets.
In order to jointly fight against Ying Yu, they had already spent all the few assets they had on purchasing goods and hoarding them.
They originally thought that if Ying Yu cut off the trade route with his sword, it would not last long.
But in fact, a month has passed, and there is no intention of relaxing at the various checkpoints in Daqin.
Ying Yu's move will naturally have a certain impact on Daqin's economy, but Daqin's current wealth is so rich that this impact is nothing at all.
And taking into account the benefits brought by this incident, if calculated comprehensively, it is actually impossible for Da Qin to suffer losses at all, but will actually make a fortune from it.
Furthermore, most of these gateways that were closed by Ying Yu's direct order were external gateways on the Silk Road.
Before that, Ying Yu had long wanted to reorganize the Silk Road, and Chen Ping had already taken the order to set off.
Even if the Silk Road is closed now, the impact will not be too great. After all, this is a step in the future.
And Ying Yu had already given the order to Chen Ping, and he took advantage of this opportunity to go ahead and do it.
After receiving Ying Yu's order, Chen Ping did not dare to be lazy and immediately worked overtime and devoted himself to his work.
Therefore, closing the pass this time is not a fatal problem at all for Da Qin.
But looking back at this group of merchants who have joined together, after a month has passed, the goods they have hoarded cannot be sold.
And their own business also needs capital turnover. Originally, because they deliberately slowed down the transportation of various materials, their own business had already had a certain impact, but at the beginning, the impact was not big.
However, as time goes by, this impact is getting bigger and bigger.
Without enough funds, their business will not be able to operate, which is fatal to them.
Those businessmen with small family backgrounds were beginning to think about retreating.
After all, the big guys can afford it, but those of them who run small businesses cannot afford it.
So after a month, gradually some businessmen sold their supplies to the government at low prices.
After Ying Yu learned about this, he secretly applauded.
He knew that the time he had been waiting for had come, and now was the best time to close the net.
Normally, there are two ways to do what you want to do now.
The first is to use the previous repurchase price as the basis, and then increase the price slightly on this basis.
Those businessmen who see hope will have the illusion that they are not so much at a loss, and thus sell all the goods in their hands.
This method is indeed feasible, but Ying Yu has a second, more effective method.
This method is to directly issue an order, and the government will post a time limit for stopping the purchase of merchants' goods.
If the time has passed and the goods have not been sold, the government will no longer subsidize them.
After this notice was posted, most businessmen panicked.
They were able to maintain their own ideas before, and the most fundamental reasons were nothing more than two.
First, they did not expect the seriousness of this matter, and they did not know how long Ying Yu would block the pass.
Anyway, the government will take care of them in the end. If it doesn't work, they can sell it to the government at a low price, which can also recover some losses.
But at this point, they no longer have any hope at the first point, because they have no way of predicting how long the pass will be closed.
The second point is that there is also a big problem at this moment.
The government has posted a time limit for subsidy to buy back their goods, which shows that their guarantee is already counting down.
When the government posted this notice, it also explained that a large number of businessmen have recently come to receive subsidies and sell goods.
The government's manpower is limited, and the number that can be handled every day is limited.
Anyone who wants to sell goods and receive subsidies needs to go there quickly.
Otherwise, once the time has passed, the government will still not accept people who have not queued up.
This not only limits the time, but also only limits the total amount of goods.
Many businessmen know what this means. In fact, this is just a method they usually use in their daily business.
I have to say that this is a very effective method.
Many businessmen can no longer sit still at this moment. They know that if they continue to fight at this moment, they will end up with nothing.
At this time, they thought clearly that frugality was not a problem at all.
Why don't you just skip a few dishes in your meal? No one will die. The right way is to quickly follow Ying Yu's footsteps.
As a result, merchants in large quantities began to sell their goods at extremely low prices.
.......
Three days later, at the court meeting.
Ying Yu had just arrived at the main hall of Xianyang Palace, and he hadn't spoken yet.
Under the leadership of Xiao He, all the ministers knelt down on the ground.
"Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise."
Regarding the performance of the ministers, Ying Yu seemed calm on the surface.
But he still had a little doubt in his heart, but after thinking about it, he understood the reason. It must be that the businessmen's matter had been resolved.
It's just that it shouldn't have happened so quickly in Ying Yu's expectation.
So in order to keep the scene going, Ying Yu also spoke directly.
"My dear friends, please stand down. What's going on?"
The ministers had already discussed who would report this issue to Ying Yu.
The person who stood up was naturally Nei Shiteng, who was in charge of Da Qin's finances.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, the edict issued by Your Majesty a few days ago has now been fully fulfilled."
He reported everything to Ying Yu that had happened to the merchants in recent days.
Since the new notice was posted on that day.
There began to be a large number of merchants who sold large quantities of goods to the government regardless of the consequences or costs.
The official notice was pasted, saying that in the later stage, they may not have enough manpower and they will no longer accept goods.
It's just that this is just a cover.
Today's Great Qin lacks nothing, and naturally there is no shortage of manpower in the government either.
Although it is true that there are not many people in the official establishment, Ying Yu has already solved this problem long ago.
Then recruit temporary workers.
With this policy in place, where will there be a shortage of manpower?
It's just that for the sake of their own interests, all businessmen can't care about so much, and they can't even think of so much.
All I know is to sell the goods I have hoarded as soon as possible.
Therefore, since the notice was posted, almost all local government offices have been crossed by these businessmen selling goods.
Since ancient times, businessmen have valued profits and would not be able to do anything without profits.
This statement has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but what has happened in the past few days has always changed the minds of everyone who sees it.
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed.

He took a deep breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously looked around and became even more confused.
A single dorm?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my own body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
