Chapter 1282: Bloodbath Market

A meeting lasted for a day.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Xizuo and his men arrived at the warehouse in the island.

The door of the Ku door opened, and Wang Xizuo was stunned.

A full warehouse full of bulbs.

Not only that, the warehouse next door is everywhere.

After their fleet set off, the Franco Merchant ships purchased in Luzon and other places set off one after another. They went deep into the Franco Merchants and sent countless bulbs here under the banner of the Portuguese caravan.

Next... the show is about to begin.

Wang Xizuo's eyes shone.

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

The only thing he knew was that the prince consort of the Ming Dynasty would never do thankless things.

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

A war without gunpowder has begun.

According to Liu Wenshan's instructions, the bulbs began to increase their supply. Every few days, a ship of bulbs was sent 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. Most people were ecstatic at first because bulbs had reached a priceless point.

No one is willing to sell these treasures, but no one wants to buy some, while some people want to buy more.

Therefore, when the bulbs appear on the market, they are sold out soon, and then they appear on the market again and are sold out again.

It was not until more than half a month later that people realized that it seemed that the bulb would never be sold out.

Suddenly, some smart merchants began to smell a little bad breath.

They began to ship gradually.

The price of bulbs begins to fall.

...

News of the decline reached Liu Wenshan.

Liu Wenshan was so happy that he only looked at the report, and his eyes were lit: "There are a lot of shipments, how many are sold, as long as it is more than five gold coins, it will be sold."

Everyone takes action.

In this warehouse in the northern province, countless bulbs were directly pushed to the market.

Like a flood that opened the gate, the market was filled with bulbs, and even sold directly to farmers in France and Holy Rome.

People always realize it later.

Although the big merchants are always smarter, the small merchants, nobles, farmers, and citizens are already too late when they realize they come.

The bulbs began to thunder thousands of miles.

The price fell from thirty gold coins to twenty until it fell below ten gold coins.

Countless people looked at the terrifying scene in front of them in a daze, and the crazy people waving the contract of the bulbs, looking for any place to trade everywhere.

The entire northern province is in chaos.

There were even merchants who took this opportunity to buy bulbs at a low price, rode a fast horse, and sent them to the side village.

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

The entire northern province has been in chaos.

Then, the price fell to hardware coins.

In just half a month, the price of bulbs dropped by 80%.

At this time, due to a large number of ships, countless ships were hired and left the port. They were ordered to carry boxes of "gold and silver" directly to the West.

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

It was almost a massacre.

From the northern provinces, to Portugal, to Spain, to France and the Holy Roman Empire, to Rome, no one can survive in almost every class.

It was the first time Liu Jin had a good harvest.

Although the food here made him sick, the long journey caused all the greed in his stomach to starve to death.

But... when he rolled in the mountains of gold coins, he cried...

"Godfather, godfather... is getting rich, we are getting rich, haha... If Godfather knew, we were doing so beautifully, I don't know how relieved we would be. Godfather, I really admire you, godfather, I heard that the price has dropped to four gold coins now. Should we ship the goods immediately? Take advantage of the opportunity to hurry up..."

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

Only then did Liu Jin realize that Liu Wenshan, who was originally in his prime, had a lot of white hair on his head. He looked very haggard, thin and tired.

Liu Wenshan said lightly: "Stop shipping for the time being."

"What?" Liu Jin looked at Liu Wenshan in surprise: "Godfather, we still have so many goods. The prices are still falling. If we don't ship at this time, aren't the remaining ones rotten in our hands? Godfather... we must not miss the opportunity. Taking advantage of this last opportunity, we can earn as much as we can. Although now, we are already full of money. But the size of mosquitoes is also meat."

Speaking of meat, the greedy people in their stomachs who were almost starving to death seemed to be reviving, arousing Liu Jin's appetite, and Liu Jin wanted to chew something again.

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

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

Isn't it over?

Why...it's the beginning again?

Liu Wenshan, who looked incomprehensible, said: "Godfather, this... my son doesn't understand."

"You do as I say." Liu Wenshan was silent for a moment: "Start now, shipments will slow down."

"What godfather means is that once our shipments slow down, the price will rise? This is not right. This sudden plunge has lost all your money. Who would still hide this thing? Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I am afraid that the price will fall. If you don't sell it, it will be too late."

Liu Wenshan stroked the desk: "Did you forget what your mentor told me?"

Liu Jin suddenly remembered that his mentor's instructions were all followed by his godfather's godfather.

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

Could it be... the godfather was kind and unwilling to earn the last coin?

Alas, my godfather is indeed a kind and righteous person.

If it is changed to Master Gan, Hum, I will definitely kill them without leaving any armor!

…………

The entire northern province is already in chaos.

Almost all trading markets are cursed.

Letters were sent to all parts of Franchise.

Immediately afterwards, many people rushed here from all over Franc.

In this port city.

Emperor Shenluo of Habsburg and Sir Andres, the confidant of the King of Spain, appeared in the Governor's Mansion with a tired look on his face.

The Governor came to greet him with his men.

Those who came with them were also favourites of the King of France, priests from Rome, merchants from Venice, and those priests of all sizes and marquis were no problem. Even the Grand Duke of Bavaria came here in person.

Everyone has a tragic expression.

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

He spoke in French: "King Carl has expressed strong concerns about what happened here. He does not want things to continue to deteriorate. I believe that this is also the purpose of your coming here."

There are many messengers from all over the world who come here.

But now, everyone's face is pale and everyone's face is ashamed.

But at the same time, everyone kept nodding, agreeing with Sir Andres's point of view.

Whether it is the French, German states, Spain and Portugal, or Venice and Lombardy, they are now facing the most difficult dilemma.

"Now, what should we do?" Sir Andres looked at everyone.

"Please have a meal first, yourselves." The governor of the Northern Province said in shame.

"Very good." Andres nodded, and everyone followed him into the banquet hall. There was no hostess, and no one brought his wife to him.

A group of people sat down one after another, each holding a knife and a fork, fiddling with the food on the plate. The servants were about to serve dessert. Andres waved his hand and signaled them to go out. Then, he held the knife and looked up: "I would like to announce here that he will defend this disaster at all costs, before that, we must unite."

Everyone nodded silently.

Immediately afterwards, Andres looked at the Governor of the Northern Province: "Tell me your plan."

The Governor's face turned pale: "We cannot bear such a disaster. In the northern province, there are a large number of bulbs in our warehouses. Once these bulbs are worthless, then the northern province will go bankrupt. I also firmly believe that the situation in all countries is very bad. In the treasury of various countries, a lot of money is converted into assets based on bulbs. Not to mention, the personal property of the emperor, king, grand duke, and marquis are related to bulbs. Once they are allowed to continue to plummet, gentlemen, I dare to protect them. To prove that the financial situation of all countries, the vaults of kings and queens of all countries will fall into a terrible situation, and we will all go bankrupt, and at the same time, there are many merchants, citizens, farmers, and their wealth, which will be gone overnight. Everyone, in the northern province, there have been signs of rebellion, and those who have lost everything blame all this on His Highness the King. This is unfortunate news, so... I think... the only way we can do... is to stabilize the price of the bulbs."

call……

Everyone's eyes lit up.

Everyone knows how bad the situation is.

The continuous rise of bulbs has not only been participated by merchants, citizens, but also by farmers. The kings and nobles embezzled their own vaults, the queens and wives used their dowry, and even the treasurys of many countries have the expense of hoarding bulbs.

Once the bulb is not worth a penny, the first thing that is affected is the finances of various countries, followed by the kings and nobles, and then the angry people. 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. Only by stabilizing the price of bulbs and returning to their original position, then this disaster can pass."

“Save the market…”

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