Chapter 1666: Incredible
Looking at the strange and extremely resistant to everything, Li Dongyang sneered from the bottom of his heart, and even wished he could destroy everything in front of him. In his opinion, this strange thing was not in line with the world he recognized.
At this moment, the voice of a newspaper boy came not far away: "Selling newspapers, selling newspapers, the latest news, Tatars attacked Jinzhou, Jinzhou is in a hurry, selling newspapers!"
Hearing this, Li Dongyang was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the newspaper's reaction was so fast. Not long after the Zhenguo Mansion received the urgent message, news came from outside.
But...isn't this a major military event? It was just leaked?
Li Dongyang sneered again, and felt extremely contemptuous.
The newspaper boy was wearing cloth shoes and was briskly traveling through the crowd. Many people on the street were stunned when they heard the newspaper boy's voice as if they were cursed.
Even some cars on the road suddenly stopped.
The Tatars attacked Jinzhou!
It seemed that the reaction of the people here was more enthusiastic than that of the people in the capital. For a moment, the newspaper boy was surrounded by people, and all kinds of discussions began.
Someone came out of the crowd, took a newspaper in his hand, then lowered his head and read it carefully, and then...
Then he actually laughed: "Haha, haha, I just bought 500 kilograms of steel. In this war, the price of steel is afraid that it will rise again. This time I will definitely make a fortune. No wonder the price of steel continues to rise."
Li Dongyang heard this and was almost angry and vomiting blood. Should you be the normal reaction?
How shameless and despicable. For the sake of your own selfish interests, you can't afford to fight?
These people are despicable and shameless.
Li Dongyang could no longer use any words to describe these shameless people. He just continued to look at these people who made him feel out of place. Seeing that many merchants were happily discussing business and passionately.
Materials will definitely increase, this is silver. Once the court counterattacks, it will inevitably require a large amount of military supplies, whether it is gauze, cloth, steel, or cannons, gold will be ten thousand taels.
Many people are happy and know that this transaction is better when they hear the situation of the war.
Obviously, Qinglong is no longer the same as other places. There are many small peasant economy in other places. The bigger the people, the poorer they are. However, Qinglong people know that the essence of money lies in flowing. Only by allowing countless silver to flow can they earn more money!
As long as those with some business acumen know that once the war begins, demand will increase. The increase in demand will lead to the rise in the prices of many materials. Then the workshop will not have to worry about no orders or goods without sales. Craftsmen can also benefit from it, because for them, at the beginning of the war, it was a new wave of shortage of labor. In order to produce urgently, a large number of workshop owners had to raise their salaries and recruit more people to produce.
Those ranchers have repeatedly complained that there is insufficient grassland and many people want to expand their ranch, but the ranch that is truly controlled by Zhenyuanguo is mostly near Guansai. That is to say, one or two hundred miles away along the Qinglong and the Great Wall are absolutely safe. However, once you go deeper into the grassland, the risks will inevitably increase. Some ranchers who take risks are willing to go deeper, but the cost is also extremely high. After all, they need more guards and more shepherds, and once they encounter an emergency, they may lose all their money.
Therefore, ranchers urgently need more ranchs. They are most eager to fight the Tatars. Workshop owners hope to consume more materials through war and increase market demand. Therefore, they also hope to fight. No matter what kind of war it is, it is enough.
Most of the business newspapers are newspapers controlled by workshop owners and ranchers behind the scenes, so there are often words of noisy war in this newspaper. They wish they were Zhao Ritian, and they would do whatever they could to fight to Loulan.
The new army was even more ready to go. The new army adopted a military merit system. A group of strong guys could only be locked in the camp every day. After practicing day and night, they were already hungry.
As the news spread, the entire Qinglong was cheering for the beginning of the war, and even saw many shops hanging banners everywhere, with inspiring words on them. The wine shops and teahouses were already noisy. These big merchants have been clamoring and advocating for years, and the scholars at the front desk were their tools, so Qinglong scholars were especially aggressive and desperately advocating.
These people with red eyes had long forgotten that Qinglong might be the target of the Tatars' attack. For more than 30% of the profit, they already felt that they were invulnerable to swords and guns.
Li Dongyang was really stunned by the countless cheers on the street and the sound of firecrackers coming one after another.
From the initial contempt, he gradually became a little scared.
What kind of world is this? Barbarians, this is the real barbarians. Only barbarians can do this. Li Dongyang deeply felt that his civilization was completely incompatible with these things. He despised them and despised them, but... he still felt a kind of fear, a fear that was like a storm in the future.
These people... are simply crazy.
I am afraid that if anyone blocks their way, they will tear them apart like a hungry wolf.
Li Dongyang understood it clearly, he understood it too clearly, and he saw the greed deep in everyone's heart. This greed defeated all cowardice and timidity, and everyone danced with joy.
Some retired veterans began to appear on the street. Yes, they were all veterans in old military uniforms. They appeared in groups. What surprised Li Dongyang again was that there were bursts of cheers coming from the street, and many people saluted them, making happy and inspiring sounds.
They swayed across the city, and many people surrounded them, just like these people, they were victorious generals.
Li Dongyang looked at everything that he could not understand, and his fear in his heart became even more serious. He had never felt this way before. His body couldn't help but tremble because of fear. These Qiu Bas were swaying like this, but the people along the street...
He saw that on the empty stage, a man wearing a lumber suddenly jumped up, and then the crowd gathered towards the high platform. The student began to complain endlessly, accusing the Tatars of the brutality, so countless people cursed.
The scholar was infected by the excited crowd and seemed even more excited. He was domineering and muttering something. Finally, he clenched his fists and roared: "Go to Loulan."
