A meeting that lasted a day.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Xizuo led the people to the treasury on this island.

The door opened, and Wang Xizuo was stunned.

It's a warehouse full of bulbs.

Not only that, but the warehouse next door is everywhere.

After their fleet departed, the subsequent Francois merchant ships purchased in Luzon and other places set off one after another, and they went all the way to the Francos under the banner of the Portuguese caravan, sending countless bulbs here.

Next...... It's time for the show to begin.

Wang Xizuo's eyes lit up.

Although he didn't know what Liu Wenshan was doing.

The only thing he knew was that the Ming colt would never do thankless work.

As for that Mr. Liu, he has an extremely smart mind.

A war without gunpowder began.

According to Liu Wenshan's instructions, the supply of bulbs began to increase, and every few days, a shipload of bulbs was delivered to the port, in exchange for countless gold coins and silver.

On the market, bulbs began to increase suddenly, of course, all this is still within the controllable range, and the vast majority of people are surprised at first, because bulbs have reached the point where they have no price.

No one wants to sell these treasures, but those who don't want to buy some of them, and some people want to buy more.

Therefore, when the bulb appeared on the market, it was quickly sold out, and immediately after, it appeared on the market again, and it was sold out again.

It wasn't until more than half a month later that people realized that it was as if the bulb would never be sold.

All of a sudden, some shrewd businessmen began to smell a hint of something bad.

They began to ship gradually.

The price of bulbs began to fall.

……

When the news of the decline reached Liu Wenshan.

Liu Wenshan only glanced at the newspaper for a long time, and his eyes were open: "Shipped in large quantities, how much, how much is sold, as long as it is more than five gold coins, it will be sold." ”

Everybody act.

Located in this warehouse in the Northern Province, countless bulbs are directly pushed to the market.

Like a flood, the markets were filled with bulbs, and they were even sold directly to farmers in France and Holy Rome.

People are always an afterthought.

Although the big merchants are always wiser, the small merchants, nobles, farmers, and townspeople, by the time they notice it, it will be too late.

The bulbs began to plummet.

The price went from thirty gold coins, to less than twenty gold coins, until it fell below ten gold coins.

Countless people watched in amazement at the terrible scene in front of them, crazy people, waving bulb contracts, looking everywhere for any place where they could trade.

The entire Northern Province is in shambles.

There were even businessmen who took this opportunity to buy bulbs at a low price, rode fast horses, and sent them to the countryside.

The news from the countryside is always much slower than that of the port, and they still think that bulbs can be equivalent to gold.

The entire northern province has been jumping.

And then, the price fell to the hardware.

In just half a month, the price of bulbs has fallen by eighty.

At this time, because of the large number of shipments, countless ships, hired and left the port, and they were ordered to carry boxes of 'gold and silver' directly to the Western Ocean.

Liu Jin's abacus has been broken, and even he can't calculate how much silver these bulbs have been sold.

It was almost a massacre.

From the Northern Province, to Portugal, to Spain, to France and the Holy Roman Empire, to Rome, almost every class, no one is immune.

For the first time, Liu Jin felt like a bumper harvest.

Although the food here made him nauseous, the voyage all the way starved the worms in his stomach to death.

But...... He wept as he rolled through the mountains of gold......

"Godfather, godfather...... Let's get rich, let's get rich, haha...... If the godfather knows, we are doing so beautifully, I don't know how relieved we should be, godfather, my son really admires your old man, godfather, I heard that the price has been reduced to four gold coins, let's ship it immediately, take the opportunity, hurry up and ......"

Liu Wenshan looked very calm, he took a sip of white water and looked up at Liu Jin.

Liu Jin found out that Liu Wenshan, who was in his prime, had a lot of white hair on his head, and his whole person looked very haggard, skinny, and tired.

Liu Wenshan said lightly: "Temporarily stop shipping." ”

"What?" Liu Jin looked at Liu Wenshan in surprise: "Godfather, we still have so many goods, and now the price is still falling, and if we don't ship at this time, won't the rest rot in my hands?" Godfather...... Don't miss the opportunity, take advantage of this last opportunity, how much can we earn, although now, we are full of money. But it's the size of a mosquito, and it's also meat. ”

Speaking of meat, the gluttonous insects in the stomach, who were almost starving to death, seemed to return to the light, arousing Liu Jin's appetite, and Liu Jin wanted to gnaw something again.

Liu Wenshan smiled: "No, this is just the beginning." ”

"Start ......" Liu Jin shuddered, he looked at his godfather in disbelief.

Isn't it already over?

How...... It's just the beginning again?

He looked incomprehensible Liu Wenshan: "Godfather, this ...... The son didn't understand. ”

"You do what I say." Liu Wenshan was silent for a moment: "From now on, shipments will slow down." ”

"What does Godfather mean that once our shipments slow down, prices will climb? This, no, this sudden plunge has already made people lose all their money, who is willing to hide this thing anymore, tomorrow and tomorrow, I am afraid that the price will fall, and if I don't sell it, it will be too late. ”

Liu Wenshan stroked the case: "Have you forgotten what your teacher explained?" ”

Liu Jin suddenly remembered that his teacher's instructions were all at his godfather's disposal.

Thinking of this, Liu Jin is like a defeated rooster, and he still can't understand his godfather.

Don't...... The godfather has a kind heart and is unwilling to earn the last copper plate?

Hey, Godfather is really a benevolent and righteous person.

If the godmaster is changed, hum, he will definitely kill them without leaving a piece of armor!

…………

The entire Northern Province is already in chaos.

Almost all the trading markets are cursed.

Letters were sent to all parts of the Franc machine.

Immediately afterward, many people from all over the country began to arrive here.

In this port city.

Sir Andrés, the Emperor of the Habsburgs and a close associate of the King of Spain, appeared at the Doge's Palace with a tired face.

The governor came with men to meet him personally.

The people who came with him were the favored retainers of the King of France, the clergy from Rome, the president of merchants from Venice, and the principalities and princely states of all sizes, and even the Grand Duke of Bavaria actually came here in person.

Everyone's face was miserable.

Sir Andrés took off his hat, a man known for his ability and trusted by the king.

He opened his mouth and said in French: "King Karl has heard of what is happening here, and he expresses his strong concern about it, and he does not want it to get worse, and I believe that this is what you are here for." ”

The envoys of various countries who came here were not unusually dirty.

But now, everyone's face is pale, and everyone is as dead as ashes.

But all of them kept nodding their heads in agreement with Sir Andrés.

The French, the German states, Spain and Portugal, the Venetian and Lombard merchants, are now facing the most difficult predicament.

"Now, what are we going to do?" Sir Andrés looked at everyone.

"Dine first, Your Excellency." The Governor of the Northern Province was ashamed.

"Good." Andrés nodded, and the group followed him into the banquet hall, where there was no hostess, and no one brought his wife.

A group of people sat down, each with a knife and fork, fiddling with the food on the plate, the attendant was about to serve dessert, Andrés waved his hand and motioned for them to go out, and then, holding a dinner knife, he looked up: "In my capacity as the plenipotentiary of His Royal Highness the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain, I hereby declare that he will defend this catastrophe at all costs, and until then, we must unite." ”

Everyone nodded silently.

Immediately afterward, Andrés looked at the Governor of the Northern Province: "Let's talk about your plan." ”

The governor's face turned pale: "We can't afford such a disaster, in the Northern Province, in our treasury, there are a large number of bulbs, once these bulbs are worthless, then, the Northern Province will be bankrupt." I am also convinced that the situation in various countries is very bad, and in the treasury of each country, a lot of money is converted into bulbs as assets. Not to mention, how many of the private possessions of emperors, kings, grand dukes, and marquises were related to bulbs. If we are allowed to continue to plummet, gentlemen, I can assure you that the finances of the nations, and the coffers of the kings and queens, will fall into a terrible situation, and we will all go bankrupt, and at the same time there will be many merchants, burghers, and peasant households, whose wealth will be wiped out overnight. Ladies and gentlemen, in the Northern Province, there are already signs of rebellion, and those who have lost everything blame His Royal Highness for all this, which is unfortunate news, so ...... I think...... The only way we can do it...... It is to stabilize the price of bulbs. ”

Call......

Everyone's eyes lit up.

How bad the situation is, everyone knows in their hearts.

The continuous rise of bulbs has been not only the participation of merchants and townspeople but also farmers, kings and nobles have embezzled their coffers, queens and wives have used their dowries, and even the treasury of many countries has hoarded bulbs.

As soon as the bulb is not worth a penny, it is the finances of the nations that will be hit first, then the kings and nobles, and then the angry people, and no one can predict how terrible the consequences will be.

The Governor took a deep breath and proposed his own solution: "The only way is to save the market, and only by stabilizing the price of bulbs and returning to their original position can this disaster pass." ”

"Rescue ......"

People you look at me, I look at you, look at each other.
