Zhang Yu's two-handed preparation effect is still very good.

In terms of public opinion, this Ma Teng has begun to encounter some difficulties, and many families who were originally very supportive of him have gradually begun to use various reasons to prevaricate.

Ma Teng was hampered in many places.

He wasn't going to go to these families and merchants, in that case, he might really lose a lot of support just by making the rounds.

Ma Teng asked them for money, and he would compensate them later.

But the families took Ma Teng to the warehouse.

"I only have these goods, you can take as much as you want."

"There is no money, but there are many warehouses for goods."

"The road is broken, what do I want these goods for, I will give them to you, money, not a single copper plate."

Ma Teng wanted to buy more iron ore and asked them to borrow money, but Ma Teng suddenly found that he couldn't borrow any money, it was all goods.

The goods in one warehouse after another, Ma Teng's heart was panicked.

Ma Teng has been following military affairs lately, and he really doesn't know what's going on.

He also knew about the price reduction of various goods before, but he didn't care.

It is not normal for goods to rise and fall, and this large price reduction is also beneficial to them, they can buy more goods and make more money.

It was originally a good thing, but this chapter Yu had a big price reduction and a big promotion, and those merchants took out all the money and filled the warehouse.

Nowadays, every family is facing bankruptcy, and there is no way to do it if it doesn't go bankrupt, with so many people in the family and no income, it will collapse all of a sudden.

On top of that, the westbound road was blocked.

Ma Teng directly did not let the merchants go to the Western Regions, and the Silk Road did not allow them to go.

Because, the strongholds they set up can't withstand too many people, and those strongholds still have to receive the Roman army.

In this way, in just a few months, the merchants of Liangzhou were in a predicament.

At first, they thought it was only temporary, but now that the news has spread, this Ma Teng has no chance of winning at all.

Ma Teng tossed like this, and these merchants and the family could only be buried together.

However, these businessmen and families are not stupid, this Ma Teng has soldiers and horses in his hands, and he must not come hard, and he must be very cooperative, otherwise he will not know how to die.

When Ma Teng wanted to borrow money, they put pressure on him.

How much, Ma Teng himself said.

It's not that they don't support it, it's that it's very supportive.

Support to, how much you want, I will pull you how many goods for you.

There is really no money, but the goods are given to you warehouse by warehouse.

Ma Teng came back in a circle, he didn't ask for much money, these families were very cooperative in the past, Ma Teng was short of money, and if he asked them, he could make up a lot of money for him.

Now it's okay, it's all been pitted by Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu directly asked them to turn the money into goods, so many goods were piled up in the warehouse, even if there was money, Ma Teng was embarrassed to ask for it.

Ma Teng knew that the Silk Road would not open so early.

Once opened, they will perish.

This is related to the rise and fall of Ma Teng's family, how can it not be taken seriously.

Ma Teng attached great importance to it, and he sent troops to directly cut off the Silk Road.

Only if it is broken, then can the Roman army come smoothly.

But now, he has a new crisis.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the situation is not good, and we are going to face a huge financial crisis." Ma Teng urgently summoned his staff.

When everyone heard this, they were also dumbfounded, this is a financial war? Or is it a currency war?

They have wealth, but they don't have cash.

That warehouse represents wealth, but that wealth cannot be used for circulation, let alone to buy iron ore or pay wages.

"My lord, you can let these businessmen go to the bank to borrow, although Liangzhou doesn't have it, but there are other places, and they can borrow money."

The words of a staff member made Ma Teng shake his head, it was possible before, but not now.

If that's the case, this Ma Teng is still afraid of pushing these businessmen to Zhang Yu's side.

Now Ma Teng is very uncomfortable.

He couldn't think of a solution, but if he didn't solve this matter, he wouldn't be able to do it, and sooner or later there would be a big mess.

Ma Teng was already in a hurry.

"This matter must be resolved, and it can't be delayed for too long, otherwise these families may be kidnapped by Zhang Yu and turn against each other." Ma Teng said.

There is no market for these goods in Liangzhou, so they can only be shipped to the West.

But now the road to the West is also not open.

They don't know how long it will last, and if it drags on, it will be very bad for them.

The battle situation on the front line is not very optimistic, and Ma Teng and they are generally in the upper hand and take advantage of a lot of advantages.

But Zhang Yu has more and more soldiers and horses, and it is useless to kill tens of thousands of people, but they are very uncomfortable if they lose tens of thousands of people.

Ma Teng was very anxious in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.

"My lord, we can recruit some people from these families and directly join the army, so that we can help these families reduce some of the burden, lest they have too many people in their hands, and it will be a big mess." A staff member said.

Ma Teng slapped the chair with his hand, and then said: "That's right, but you have to tell the family." ”

Ma Teng suddenly realized that there were many young men in the hands of these families, and even some of them had a lot of armed forces.

This is a tradition here, they are located on the border, and in the past, there were often sudden invasions of the steppe peoples, and they would organize manpower in order to protect themselves.

Nowadays, it costs a lot to raise these people, and these big businessmen have no source of business and no money, which is very dangerous.

Whether it is to make trouble or become Zhang Yu's internal response, this Ma Teng will weaken them.

Ma Teng immediately arranged for people to go and asked each family to arrange a certain number of people to his side, and he would integrate these people into the army.

Ma Teng moved quickly, gathering more than 30,000 people in a few days.

"Ma Teng doesn't believe us, we have always supported him."

"It's nice to say, it's not that you're afraid of us."

"Without power, there is no right to speak, and I don't know how to kill us in the future."

"I'm afraid this Ma Teng is about to raise his knife."

Not long after Ma Teng's action, all kinds of rumors came, some of them were spontaneous, and some of them were sent by the spies on Zhang Yu's side.

All kinds of rumors are very unfavorable to Ma Teng, which is to divide them, and the relationship between Ma Teng and the family is gradually differentiating.

"As long as the problem is solved as soon as possible, nothing is a problem." Ma Teng, who received the news, knew that there was no way to change it, so he could only continue.

If they fail, they will never recover, and if they succeed, they can be redeemed by giving them some compensation in the future.

Ma Teng didn't stop, and let people speed up the progress.

The situation in Liangzhou is not good, and Ma Teng has been desperate to accelerate his advance.

At this time, after a few days of preparation, Zhang Yu sent five thousand troops deep into the desert.

"Zilong, let you go on an adventure this time, you must be careful, you can't just go back, the most important thing is to live."

Zhang Yu sent Zhao Yun to go, this matter is very important, and there must be a fierce general.

Zhao Yun clenched his fists and said: "The lord is as kind to us as a mountain, and this time it is the great righteousness of the nation, and his subordinates will definitely complete the task." ”
