Phi-Fic Chapter 686 Ants on the Hot Pot
Chapter 686 Ants on the Hot Pot
Things really went as Ying Yu expected, and it hasn't been a month yet.
There are already businessmen who can't hold on anymore, and these businessmen are not very rich in family background and assets.
When they joined forces to fight against Ying Yu, they had already used all the remaining assets in their hands to buy goods and hoard them.
They thought that Ying Yu's cutting off the trade route would definitely not last long.
But in fact, a month has passed, and there is no sign of relaxing at all the gates in Daqin.
Ying Yu's move will naturally have a certain impact on Daqin's economy, but Daqin's family is rich now, so the impact is nothing at all.
And considering the benefits brought about by this incident, if it is calculated comprehensively, it is actually impossible for Daqin to have any losses, and on the contrary, it will make a fortune.
Furthermore, most of these gates that Ying Yu directly ordered to close were the external gates on the Silk Road.
Before that, Ying Yu had long thought of reorganizing the Silk Road, and Chen Ping had already led the way.
Even if the Silk Road is closed now, the impact is actually not too great. After all, this is a step in the future.
And Ying Yu had already sent an order to Chen Ping, and he took advantage of this opportunity to let it go.
After Chen Ping received Ying Yu's order, he didn't dare to be lazy, and immediately worked overtime and devoted himself to work.
Therefore, closing the pass this time is not a fatal problem for Daqin at all.
But looking back at this group of merchants united together, after a month passed, the goods they hoarded in their hands could not be sold.
And their own business also needs capital turnover. Originally, because they deliberately slowed down the delivery of various materials, it had already had a certain impact on their own business, but at the beginning, the impact was not great.
But as time goes by, this effect is getting bigger and bigger.
Without sufficient funds, their business cannot operate, which is fatal to them.
Those businessmen with small family backgrounds have already begun to retreat at this time.
After all, the bosses can afford it, but those who run small businesses can't afford it.
So a month later, gradually, some merchants sold the materials in their hands to the government at a low price.
After Ying Yu learned of this, she applauded secretly in her heart.
He knew that the time he had been waiting for had come, and now was the best time to close the net.
Normally speaking, there are two ways to do things now.
The first is to use the previous repurchase price as the benchmark, and on this basis, increase the price a little bit.
Those merchants who see hope will have an illusion that they are not so bad, and thus sell all the goods in their hands.
This method is indeed feasible, but Ying Yu has a second more effective method.
This method is to directly order, and the government will post a time limit for stopping the purchase of goods from merchants.
If the time passes and there are no goods to sell, the government will no longer subsidize them.
After the notice was posted, most businessmen panicked.
They were able to maintain their own ideas before, and the most fundamental reasons were nothing more than two.
First, they didn't think about the seriousness of the matter, and they didn't know how long Ying Yu would block the pass.
Anyway, the government will finally cover for them. If it doesn't work, sell it to the government at a low price, and some losses can be recovered.
But at this moment, they no longer count on the first point, because they can't predict when the pass will be closed.
The second point is also a big problem at this moment.
The government has posted a time limit for subsidies to buy back their goods, which shows that their guarantee is already counting down.
While posting this notice, the government also explained that a large number of businessmen have recently come to receive subsidies and sell goods.
However, the government has limited manpower, and the number that can be processed every day is limited.
Those who want to sell their goods and receive subsidies need to go there quickly.
Otherwise, once the time has passed, the government will still not accept people who have not lined up.
This not only limits the time, but also only limits the total amount of goods.
Many businessmen know what this means. In fact, this is just a common method in their daily business.
It has to be said that this is a very effective means.
Many businessmen can't sit still at this moment. They know that if they want to continue to fight at this moment, they will only end up with nothing.
At this time, they thought very clearly, what kind of frugality is not a problem at all.
Wouldn't it be better to just eat a few less dishes, and you won't die? Follow Ying Yu's footsteps is the right way.
As a result, a large number of merchants began to sell their goods at extremely low prices.
.......
Three days later, at the meeting.
Ying Yu had just arrived at the main hall of Xianyang Palace, and he hadn't spoken yet.
Under the leadership of Xiao He, a group of ministers directly knelt down on the ground.
"Your Majesty is holy, Your Majesty is holy."
Regarding the performance of the ministers, although Ying Yu seemed calm on the surface.
But there was still a little bit of doubt in his heart, but after thinking about it later, he figured out the reason, the matter of the merchants must have been resolved.
It's just that it shouldn't be so fast in Ying Yu's expectation.
So in order to allow the scene to continue to develop, Ying Yu also spoke directly.
"All loves, please be flat, what's the matter?"
All the ministers had already discussed who would report this issue to Ying Yu.
The person who stood up was naturally Nei Shiteng, who was in charge of Daqin's finances.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. The oracle issued by His Majesty a few days ago has now been fully fulfilled."
He reported all the businessmen's affairs to Ying Yu in recent days.
Since the new notice was posted that day.
At the beginning, there were a large number of merchants who sold the large quantities of goods in their hands to the government regardless of the consequences and costs.
The official notice was pasted up, saying that maybe in the later stage, they will not accept the goods because they will not have enough manpower.
It's just that it's just a cover.
Today's Great Qin lacks nothing, and the government naturally has no shortage of manpower.
Although it is true that there are not many people who are formally organized, this problem has already been solved by Ying Yu.
Then hire temporary workers.
With this policy in place, where will there be a shortage of manpower?
It's just that all businessmen can't care about so much for their own interests, and they can't think of so much.
All I know is to sell the goods I have hoarded as soon as possible.
As a result, since the notice was posted, almost all the government offices in various places have been trampled by these merchants who sold their goods.
Since ancient times, businessmen have paid attention to profit, and it is too early to get rid of it without profit.
This kind of statement has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but what happened in the past few days has always greatly changed the outlook of everyone who saw it.
