Chapter 613: Price Hikes

At the cost of moderate damage to all 20 chariots, the wolf clan made the 2,500-strong group of the Liangshan Brotherhood helpless and directly defeated, but Lu Chen was not very happy.

"Is it really TM bullying Lao Tzu who doesn't dare to fight back?" Lu Chen's eyes emitted a light called [Danger], which made his personal guard captain [Finale] feel an inexplicable palpitation.

The 150 chariot materials eventually made it to Fish-Man Harbor and were transshipped to the bay town.

Originally, the distance between the harbor and the inner city of the bay town was about two or three kilometers long, and there was an artificial canal four meters wide and more than two meters deep. In the past, on this canal, there were silver-class catamarans of the wolf clan constantly transferring goods back and forth.

But when the Liangshan Brotherhood attacked the bay town, they were afraid of the wolf clan's naval army playing new tactics, so they simply filled it up. Until now, the wolf clan under Lu Chen has not been able to organize manpower to dig this canal again.

When this canal was excavated, it cost Lu Chen more than 500 gold coins in labor and materials. And now that the wolf clan's liquidity is only 800 gold coins, it is impossible for Lu Chen to spend it in such a temporarily inconsequential place.

"Convene a meeting of all the three thousand or more members of the wolf clan."

Lu Chen returned to the City Lord's Mansion in the Bay Town with an expressionless face, and more than an hour later, more than two dozen high-level leaders of the wolf clan who could command at least three thousand people during the war had all arrived.

"I am ready to take revenge on the Liangshan Brotherhood in the near future, so that I can hurt them without making us pay too much loss. If you have any suggestions, let's talk about them. ”

Although the Battle of the Bay Town was fought very hard, it was precisely because of the hardships that almost all the people who were bought by the Liangshan Brotherhood jumped out during that time, wanting to contribute to their new owners in the future.

Therefore, the current high-level of the wolf clan, although it cannot be said to be absolutely clean, at least there is no Liangshan Brotherhood spy among them. Even if there is, it doesn't matter much if it's just a small war.

Everyone present looked at each other, not knowing what was going on, until Yuwen Demon God and a few other people in the know said that the fleet led by Lu Chen was ambushed by the Liang army in the morning, and everyone knew why Lu Chen suddenly became angry.

"Why don't I go to Qingquan Mountain to bleed some blood and pollute the mountain spring that the Liangshan Brotherhood took to make potions?" Mio, a guy who had always been too lazy to think, took the lead in making suggestions, and after being glared at by Lu Chen, he closed his mouth.

After all, the game is a game, and if the water quality is polluted when taking water, then the attribute panel will show that it is [Polluted Mountain Spring Water], instead of the previous [High-quality Mountain Spring Water].

"Or, take [Mio] to the ranch of the Liangshan Brotherhood to bleed and poison their livestock!" Mio's good brother, the initial D responded to Mio's proposal, but ushered in Lu Chen, the initial A, and the initial C.

Subsequently, several people put forward suggestions that they were nothing more than old methods such as robbing caravans, disrupting production order, and interfering with store operations, all of which were not currently applicable.

Lu Chen's purpose was to take revenge, to hurt the Liangshan Brotherhood and make them more honest during this time. Once these tactics are played, the Liangshan Brotherhood will not only not be afraid, but will in turn take revenge on the wolf clan.

When the time comes, the wolf clan and the Liangshan Brotherhood will just destroy each other's economy, and there will be no other result except for losing both. And don't forget, there is still Qingyun Pavilion in Linhai City.

In the end, it was the woman's heart that was the most poisonous. Initial C made a suggestion, "Recently, the entire southern part of the Moonlight Kingdom, because all the fishing boats we have mastered have been turned into personal use, and they are not rented out for the time being, resulting in a large number of cooking ingredients scattered in the hands of the wolf clan members.

Retail, more expensive than wholesale, this is common sense. Because the bulk of ingredients that should have been in the hands of the guild were dispersed to tens of thousands of players, the price of food in the market actually generally rose by about a dozen copper coins.

On the forum, many players have already complained, and the water army of the Liangshan Brotherhood also took the opportunity to say that our wolf clan wants to play hoarding. Moreover, the Intelligence Department discovered that the Liangshan Brotherhood would secretly hoard cooking above the bronze level.

We can follow the trend and secretly hoard food. After a week or two, before the Liangshan Brotherhood sells off, they will all be thrown out. At that time, we won't have much to lose, but the Liangshan Brotherhood will have to vomit blood! ”

This strategy sounds ordinary, but it is nothing more than a financial instrument. But in fact, this kind of method, in Linhai City, only the wolf clan can play unnoticed. Because the wolf clan controls all the fishing boats in Linhai City except for NPCs, the wolf clan controls the source of the ingredients.

The source is stuck, and the wolf clan can secretly hoard ingredients, and it is difficult for outsiders to find out. And like the Liangshan Brotherhood, which is not a big grain producer, but wants to speculate on the price of grain, then they can only use money to buy and speculate.

First stir up public opinion, so that some game merchants and chambers of commerce that smell fishy also join the ranks of hoarding. As soon as this wind blows, the prices of all kinds of slightly better cooking will rise wildly. When the time comes, the Liangshan Brotherhood and the major merchants and chambers of commerce will slowly sell off, even if the price of cooking will come down, they will always be able to make a profit.

It's a pity that this method is a bit high-quality in the face of the Marquis of Jefferson, one of the three major grain bases in the Moonlight Kingdom.

"Good... Ordered the shipyard to build 30 fishing boats first, and before that, 30 fishing boats were drawn from the existing fishing boat sequence. The logistics department is responsible for arranging credible people to go out to sea to fish, and hoarding all medium- and high-grade ingredients except for ordinary grade ingredients.

In addition, the members of the wolf clan who went to sea also secretly deducted 20% of the ingredients. At the same time, he ordered the pirate group to go north to Mellon City to harass the fishing boats that went out to sea to fish in Mellon City, and it was best to destroy some of them to intimidate. ”

Since he wants to fry, of course Lu Chen also has to make a good effort. If this continues, a week later, there will be a significant increase in the price of medium and high-end ingredients, especially seafood ingredients, in Linhai City and Mellon City.

Based on the experience of five years in his previous life, Lu Chen decided to start secretly selling when the price of bronze-grade cooking rose by 25 copper coins. The process of selling is also very simple, that is, send someone to look at the land, throw it at the auction house in groups, or send someone to set up a stall on the street.

Things are going well, and after a week has passed, the Liangshan Brotherhood still hasn't noticed the small movements of the wolf clan, but the number of cooking they have acquired, the wolf clan has a clear idea.

"It's not a small ambition... Tiankuixing Hu Baoyi estimated that it was because of the defeat in the defense of the bay town and the excessive deficit, so he was so eager for quick success. ”

Lu Chen looked at the information in his hand, according to the information, the Liangshan Brotherhood secretly purchased at least 10,000 gold coins of medium and high-grade ingredients and grain during this week. Although for the entire overall situation of the Moonlight Kingdom, this 10,000 gold coins is a small amount.

But for the Liangshan Brotherhood, which had just experienced a vicious battle, the 10,000 gold coins were estimated to be made up by them smashing pots and selling iron.

And because of the demonic wind they caused, the game merchants and chambers of commerce in the Moonlight Kingdom also frantically purchased medium and high-grade ingredients and cooking. In addition, in order to prevent people from smuggling from abroad and affecting the domestic market, they also consciously joined forces to temporarily close the border grain trade.
