Chapter 1204
Chapter 1207 Speed ââup
Zhang Yu’s two-handed preparation effect is still very good.
As far as public opinion is concerned, this Ma Teng has already begun to encounter some difficulties. Many families who originally supported him are now gradually starting to use various reasons to excuse him.
Ma Teng has been restrained in many places.
He is not going to attack these aristocratic families and businessmen. In that case, he might really lose a lot of support for patrolling.
Ma Teng asked them for money and would compensate them later.
But these families led 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 the goods.”
“The roads are all cut off. I will give you all these goods for what I want. I don’t have any money or a copper plate.”
Ma Teng wanted to buy more iron ore. When he asked them to borrow money, Ma Teng suddenly discovered that he could not borrow any money, it was all goods.
Looking at the goods from one warehouse to another, Ma Teng panicked.
Ma Teng has been paying attention to military affairs recently, and he really doesn’t know what happened.
He also knew about the price cuts of various goods before, but he didn’t care.
It is not always normal for commodity prices to rise and lower prices. This substantial price reduction is also beneficial to them. They can buy more commodities and make more money.
It was originally a good thing. This Zhang Yu had a big price cut and a big promotion. Those merchants took out all the money and filled the warehouse.
Nowadays, every family is facing bankruptcy, and there is no way if it does not go bankrupt. With so many people in the family and no income, it will collapse all at once.
Most importantly, the westbound road was blocked.
Ma Teng directly prevented the merchants from going to the Western Regions, and the Silk Road was not allowed to go.
Because the strongholds they set up could not bear too many people, and those strongholds had to receive the Roman army.
In this way, in just a few months, the merchants in Liangzhou were in trouble.
At first, they thought it was only temporary, but now that the news spreads, Ma Teng has no chance of winning at all.
Ma Teng was tossing like this, these merchants and the family could only be buried together with them.
However, these businessmen and aristocratic families are not fools. This Ma Teng has soldiers and horses in his hands. He must not be forced, and he must be very cooperative, otherwise he will not know how to die.
When Ma Teng wants to borrow money, they put pressure on it.
How much, Ma Teng said himself.
It’s not that they don’t support, but very support.
Support, how much do you want, how much goods I will pull for you.
There is really no money, but the goods will be given to you from warehouse to warehouse.
Ma Teng turned around and didn’t ask for much money. These families were very cooperative in the past. Ma Teng was short of money and asked them to get a large sum of money for him.
It’s all right now, and Zhang Yu has been pitted.
Zhang Yu directly asked them to turn the money into goods. With so many goods piled up in the warehouse, even if he had 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 the Ma Teng family, how could it not be taken seriously.
Ma Teng attached great importance to it, and he sent troops to directly break the Silk Road.
Only if it is broken, can the Roman army come over smoothly.
But now, he has encountered a new crisis.
“Everyone, the situation is not good, we will face a huge financial crisis.” Ma Teng urgently summoned his staff.
Everyone was dumbfounded when they heard it. Is this a financial war? Or a currency war?
They have wealth, but they have no cash.
That warehouse represents wealth, but that wealth cannot be used for circulation, let alone buy iron ore and pay for wages.
“My lord, you can ask these businessmen to go to the bank to borrow. Although they don’t have it in Liangzhou, they have it elsewhere, and they can borrow money.”
If one of the staff members asked Ma Teng to shake his head straight, it was possible before, but not now.
If that’s the case, Ma Teng is also afraid of pushing these merchants to Zhang Yu’s side.
Ma Teng is very uncomfortable now.
He couldn’t think of a way to do it, but it won’t work if this matter is not resolved. Sooner or later, there will be a big mess.
Ma Teng was already very anxious.
“This matter must be resolved, and it can’t be delayed for too long, otherwise these aristocratic families may be kidnapped by Zhang Yu and go over.” Ma Teng said.
There is no market for these goods in Liangzhou, and they can only be shipped to the West.
But now the road to the west is not open.
They don’t know how long it will last, and it will be very detrimental to them if it continues.
The battle situation on the front line is not very optimistic, Ma Teng and the others have the upper hand, taking a lot of advantage.
But Zhang Yu has more and more soldiers and horses, killing tens of thousands of people will not be of any use. On the contrary, it is very uncomfortable for them to lose tens of thousands.
Ma Teng was very anxious, but he dared not show it on his face.
“Lord, we can recruit a part of the staff from these aristocratic families and directly charge them into the army. This can help these aristocratic families to lighten some of the burden, lest they have too many people in their hands, and the chaos will be terrible.” An aide said.
Ma Teng patted the chair with his hand, and then said, “That’s right, but I have to talk to the family.”
Ma Teng suddenly realized that these families have many young men in their hands, and even some of them have a lot of armed forces.
This is the tradition here. They are located on the border. In the past, grassland peoples often invaded suddenly. In order to protect themselves, they would organize manpower.
It costs a lot to raise these people nowadays, and these big family and big businessmen have no source of business and no money, which is very dangerous.
Whether it’s getting up to make trouble or becoming Zhang Yu’s internal response, Ma Teng will weaken them.
Ma Teng immediately arranged people to go and let each family arrange a certain number of people to his side, and he would incorporate these people into the army.
Ma Teng moved quickly, and more than 30,000 people gathered in a few days.
“Ma Teng doesn’t believe us, because we have always supported him.”
“Speaking nicely, not afraid of us yet.”
“Without power, there is no right to speak, and I don’t know **** us in the future.”
“This Ma Teng is about to raise his knife.”
Not long after Ma Teng acted, various rumors came, partly spontaneous, and partly from the spies on Zhang Yu’s side.
All kinds of rumors are very detrimental to Ma Teng, which is separating them. The relationship between Ma Teng and the family is gradually diverging.
“As long as the problem is solved as soon as possible everything is not a problem.” Ma Teng, who received the message, knew that there was no way to change and could only continue.
If they fail, they will be forever lost. If they succeed, they will be able to get it back if they are given some compensation in the future.
Ma Teng did not stop, letting people speed up the progress.
The situation in Liangzhou is not good, Ma Teng has been desperate to speed up.
At this time, after several days of preparation, Zhang Yu sent five thousand troops to go deep into the desert.
“Zilong, let you go on an adventure this time, you must be careful, and if you can’t do it, you should return. The most important thing is that people live.”
Zhang Yu sent Zhao Yun to go, this matter is very important, there must be a strong general.
Zhao Yun clasped his fists and said: “The lord is waiting for me as a mountain. This time it is the righteousness of the nation. The subordinates must complete the task.”
