Chapter 647 What a big pot

Pingzhou wanted to put the blame on Xie Zhan, but he hasn't shown up yet. If they put the blame on him, it would be counterproductive. It would be better to focus on Zhao Minglou.

Cai Guang almost fell down.

Because under Pingzhou's announcement, there were also notices of breach of contract signed by the Cai family, the Lu family and others. This notice was vague, and it should be the photocopy that Pingzhou said.

The original is naturally in Pingzhou's hands.

Cai Qin was also dumbfounded. Ding Jun, Ding Jun, if you had said earlier that you were from the Liaodong Chamber of Commerce, there would be no previous incident.

Cai Guang ignored his son and said directly to his wife, "Hurry up, pack up, and send the two grandsons away tonight!"

Now that the incident has just happened, many people have not realized the seriousness of the matter. They can still send the children away.

Mrs. Cai was stunned, "Why is it so?"

"You don't understand." Cai Guang endured his anxiety and explained the seriousness of the matter to his wife.

At present, in the whole Zhuozhou, not all the people raise donkeys, but about 70% or 80% do. The remaining 10% or 20% do not raise donkeys, but they are engaged in donkey-related industries.

Now Pingzhou has put all the blame on Zhao Minglou and several Zhuozhou donkey owners, which means that the jobs of the people in Zhuozhou have been smashed because of them.

If the situation continues to deteriorate, their Cai family will be torn apart by the people of Zhuozhou.

Speaking of this, Cai Guang's face was ashen. He really regretted that he should not have been lucky before. This lesson is too big, and he can't cover it!

Now sending the child away is also a precaution.

"Pingzhou is really sinister!" Cai Qin said hatefully.

Hearing this, Cai Guang slammed the table angrily, "If you were not greedy at the beginning, there would be no such disaster!"

"This matter is also my fault..." After saying that, he covered his face and let the tears fall.

Cai Qin said hesitantly, "Dad, what should we do?"

"Let me think about it..."

...

When Zhao Minglou read the Pingzhou announcement for the first time, he had only one thought, Pingzhou finally took action against Zhuozhou.

When he read it for the second time, especially when Pingzhou pointed out in the announcement that Pingzhou would no longer purchase donkeys from Zhuozhou and would no longer cooperate with Zhuozhou, it was him, Cai Guang, Lu Xiujie and others who were the initiators, Zhao Minglou had only one thought in his mind, that is, it's over!

Jiang Boya looked at and shook his head. It was not unfair that this pot fell on Zhao Minglou's head. He had said before that he would let him restrain Zhao Song, but he didn't expect that in the end he would indulge Zhao Song to get bigger and bigger.

Zhao Song was also caught off guard by Pingzhou's move. Their Zhao family invested 500,000 taels in the Cai family, but all the benefits and profits have not yet been redeemed. Pingzhou has already begun to close the net!

He immediately went out to the Cai family and asked Cai Guang for cash in order to withdraw his shares and get back his capital, but the reason he gave was that he knew a big buyer and needed money to smooth the relationship.

Cai Guang was not stupid either. He just said that all the cash of their Cai family had been invested in donkey breeding. In short, there was no money. If he used the 500,000 taels he had invested before, then his Cai family could only give him some donkeys.

Zhao Song returned empty-handed with a gloomy face.

…

In a teahouse somewhere in Zhuozhou, a group of ordinary people gathered and surrounded the person reading the newspaper in the middle.

“What’s going on?”

“How could this be?”

Although the people in Zhuozhou were not as well-informed as the government and the big merchants, thanks to the fact that Zhuozhou was next to Pingzhou, and some people in Zhuozhou also subscribed to Pingzhou’s newspapers. Therefore, the people also gradually learned about Pingzhou’s announcement.

For a time, a stone stirred up a thousand waves.

"Who can tell me what happened?" Not all the common people could immediately realize the seriousness of the matter after learning about Pingzhou's announcement.

A man with a short beard explained to everyone, "... Because of those people, Pingzhou no longer orders our Zhuozhou donkey meat hotpot, no longer buys our Zhuozhou donkeys, and no longer cooperates with us Zhuozhou. In short, our Zhuozhou is hated by Pingzhou!"

"We can't sell our donkeys!"

Some people don't believe it, "If Pingzhou doesn't buy them, there must be a place to buy them, right? They should be able to be sold, we just need to make less money."

"Yes, we can sell them cheaply."

The short-bearded man: "How many people in Zhuozhou raise donkeys, have you calculated? Do you know how many donkeys were collected a day before Pingzhou issued the announcement? You say it's cheap? Believe it or not, you are cheap, and someone is cheaper than you."

As soon as the short-bearded man finished speaking, someone supported him, "This brother is right. I My cousin received the news two days ago that Pingzhou would no longer buy donkeys from Zhuozhou. "

"At that time, my cousin knew that the donkey could not be sold at a high price, so he wanted to sell the donkey at home. He found a merchant from another place to sell the donkey. The merchant was well-informed and had already known the Pingzhou announcement. He tentatively offered a price and asked my cousin if he would sell it for ten taels?"

"Ten taels of silver for a donkey, compared to the peak of seventeen or eighteen taels, my cousin was of course reluctant to sell it. "

"But in a blink of an eye, my cousin's neighbor found the merchant and said he was willing to sell the donkey for ten taels of silver. This scene happened to be seen by my cousin. My cousin was so angry that he immediately said that the merchant would take the donkey away for nine taels and five hundred coins. My cousin's neighbor said that nine taels would be enough, and my cousin also wanted to sell the donkey, so he immediately said that he could sell it for five hundred coins less. "

"My cousin got into a fight with his neighbor, and the final price was eighty taels of silver. If it went any lower, my cousin would have lost money. I never expected that the merchant would not be willing to pay the final eighty taels!"

Hearing this, everyone present was in an uproar. For eight taels of silver, that cousin really doesn't make money.

The short-bearded man concluded, "So, now everyone in Zhuozhou wants to sell their donkeys, and no one takes them in."

"No one is taking donkeys anymore, who are you selling them to? Who would be willing to take them in this situation?"

"People who buy donkeys are not stupid. In this situation, if you don't buy it, I won't buy it. It can be reduced by 500 tomorrow. Isn't it better to wait while I have money in my hand?"

As soon as the short-bearded man finished speaking, an aunt howled directly, "You can't sell a donkey for even eight taels of silver? Oh my God, in order to raise the two donkeys in this family, we didn't plant any grain last year, and our family's savings were also spent. It’s all gone, but we also borrowed food and borrowed money! Now in this situation, we have to sell all the donkeys and we can’t even pay off the debt.”

After crying and complaining, everyone was very worried.

"It's all the fault of Governor Zhao and Cai Dong's family. If they hadn't broken the contract and Pingzhou was still collecting donkeys, we wouldn't have suffered such a big loss!"

"Yes, it was these people who harmed our entire Zhuozhou!"

"Come on, let's go to the Yamen to ask for an explanation!"

The team marched toward Zhuozhou Yamen in a mighty manner. Two people in the team quietly left without anyone paying attention.

There are also people who want to go to Pingzhou.

They think the county guards are not good and the big donkey owners are not good, but the people of Pingzhou are good.

However, Jiang Shaoyan and others had already withdrawn from Juyang to Changli. As soon as the people of Zhuozhou reached the junction line, they were stopped by soldiers from Pingzhou and were not allowed to enter Pingzhou's territory.

When the people asked why, Pingzhou soldiers used the announcement to explain.

As a result, the people of Zhuozhou hated those people even more.
