As Zhong Shan expected, the imperial edict arrived in Glory City four months later!
"By the will of the heavens, His Majesty decrees that Dongfang Hou will lead the 'Sky Breaker Plan' and have full authority over the battlefield of the Great Yu Empire. All officials and generals are to be transferred. We will allocate 600 million high-grade spirit stones. Five years later, 1.5 billion high-grade spirit stones will be returned to the national treasury. By the imperial edict! "
"May His Majesty live for ten thousand years!"
Zhong Shan received the imperial edict from a eunuch. Beside the eunuch stood another Confucian scholar.
This was the strategist he saw in the Grand Xuan King's study that day! The Grand Xuan King's number one strategist!
"Congratulations, Dongfang Hou!" the number one strategist said with a smile.
"This is?" Zhong Shan looked at the number one strategist and asked in confusion.
"This humble one is Fan Yipin. Dongfang Hou can call me Yipin!" the number one strategist said with a smile.
Fan Yipin?
"Greetings, Mister Fan!" Zhong Shan immediately said respectfully.
"This humble one has also read Dongfang Hou's Sky Breaker Plan. It's a masterpiece, Yipin admires! This time, His Majesty and His Highness are in charge of sending 600 million high-grade spirit stones to Dongfang Hou. They will also assist Dongfang Hou in completing this Sky Breaker Plan! "Fan Yipin said.
Hearing Fan Yipin's words, Zhong Shan's pupils shrank. He had also read Sky Breaker Plan? Zhong Shan was most clear about the value and level of secrecy of Sky Breaker Plan. If he could see it, it meant that he had the Grand Xuan King's deep trust.
"Mister Fan, you must be joking! A small scheme shouldn't enter Mister Fan's eyes! "Zhong Shan said courteously.
"600 million high-grade spirit stones, this is a small scheme? Dongfang Hou doesn't need to be too modest. Yipin is here purely to assist and will definitely not interfere with any of Dongfang Hou's decisions! "Fan Yipin said.
"Then I'll have to trouble you!" Zhong Shan nodded with a smile.
"Eunuch, since the imperial edict has been announced, then hurry back to report to the Grand Xuan King and His Majesty!" Fan Yipin said to the eunuch beside him.
"Farewell!" The eunuch immediately turned around and flew away.
When only Fan and Zhong Shan were left, Fan Yipin said again, "This time, in addition to bringing 600 million high-grade spirit stones, I've also brought 1,500 smart, steady people who will definitely not betray us. They will listen to Dongfang Hou's orders! Dongfang Hou! "
Yipin Xuan King's words.
1,500 people of the Grand xuan Xuan King's people. They were probably spies sent by the Great Glory Chamber of Commerce. However, that was also good. They had not planned on exposing the Darong Chamber of Commerce.
"Does Dongfang Hou want to take a look?" Fan Yipin asked.
"Of course, these 1500 people will be the main force of Operation Heaven's Bane. They will also bring 500 million high-grade spirit stones to the 150 cities of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty. Since Mister Fan said that they will not betray us, then I can rest assured about the distribution of the money!" Zhong Shan smiled.
"Xuan! Yipin Yyyipin Yyin Training.
Yipin Yipipipin Yipin Yyyyyyyip Xuan ''s plans. No matter how smart a person is, without professional training, it's hard to avoid making mistakes. Once a mistake is made, the whole game will be lost! "Zhong Shan said.
"That's for sure. Let's see what Dongfang Hou is capable of." Fan Yipin smiled.
Eight months later!
Glory City! In a pavilion. There were three people sitting there. Zhong Shan, Princess Qian You, and Fan Yipin.
"Dongfang Hou, when do we start?" Fan Yipin asked.
"That's right. The war in the Great Yu Empire has been going on for two months now. How much longer do you have to wait for your plan to collapse the sky?" Princess Qian You asked with a smile.
"Yi Yan is a sly old fox. If he is not distracted by the incessant fighting, his vision will cover the general situation of the world and the people's livelihood. Therefore, we have to numb him for a period of time." Zhong Shan affirmed.
"Uh, it's already been two months. When will it begin?" Qian You asked again.
"August 15th, the night of the full moon begins!" Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"Uh?" Princess Qian You paused and looked up at the sky.
"Right now?" Fan Yipin asked doubtfully.
"Yes, right now. "The 150 cities of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty have already begun stocking up, starting with Flametongue Copper. I want all the shops in the cities that require Flametongue Copper to run out of stock within three days. I want everyone to know that from now on, Flametongue Copper will be a hot commodity, and everyone will fight to be the first to buy it." Merchants will fight to be the first to stock up! "Zhong Shan said.
Just as Zhong Shan said, on the night of August 15th, there would be about ten people in each city rushing to the major business districts to buy the Flowing Flame Copper.
In less than two days, the market was already a little tight on the Flowing Flame Copper. Some smart merchants saw the benefits and immediately began to stock up. Rare things were precious.
Zhong Shan's 500 million spiritual stones was clearly not enough to buy all the Flowing Flame Copper. However, those 'smart' merchants also participated. Because of this, the Flowing Flame Copper became extremely scarce. This also caused many weapon shops to lack the Flowing Flame Copper to refine weapons. Shops that sold treasures suddenly lost some of their best-selling treasures.
The price of Flowing Flame Copper continued to rise. When it reached five times the previous price, people began to go crazy. The Flowing Flame Copper that had just been transported from the mine was immediately sold out. However, there were some people who quickly rushed to the surrounding cities to stock up on it.
More than ten days later, for some reason, the price of the Flowing Flame Copper on the market suddenly dropped. It was as if they had agreed to it beforehand. There was suddenly a lot more Flowing Flame Copper on the market, but there were still people rushing to buy it. Most of them were people from other cities.
The huge rise in the price of the Flowing Flame Copper allowed some people to earn some extra money. However, even more people were hoarding the Flowing Flame Copper at a high price and selling it at a low price. This was only one reason. Another reason was that the weapon shops had lost a lot of customers after this incident. Their reputation plummeted.
The price of the Blazing Flame Copper had fallen, but at this moment, another item suddenly became popular as well.
Solitary Willow Grass. It was an herb used to refine pills. It wasn't very expensive, but there wasn't much of it on the market. This was because it wasn't too difficult to find this herb in the mountains.
The price of the Solitary Willow Grass rose. No, it rose crazily. In four days, it had risen to eight times the previous price.
Crazy profits!
Many people had profited greatly from this terrifying surge in wealth.
However, it wasn't long before someone suddenly started to sell the Solitary Willow Grass on the market. Instantly, many people became bankrupt. Many people secretly rejoiced.
There was another strange thing. It seemed that all the cities in the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty were like this.
Raw materials, refining materials, refining materials, all of them crazily changed. This caused the weapon shops and elixir shops to become unstable.
Shops started to run out of stock. If they didn't lack this, then they lacked that.
After a month of turmoil, one item rose, or several items rose, then fell again. The market of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty became very unstable. The merchants started to feel uneasy, but even more merchants started to invest crazily as if they were gambling!
Two months later, the market of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty became chaotic. There were more and more crazy investments. Following this trend, people entered the market blindly. They didn't care if the items were good or bad. If they rose, they bought them. If they fell, they sold them. They just hoarded and sold them!
The market started to become chaotic. However, this seemed to be a matter of the business district. It had nothing to do with the government. The government's purpose was to make sure that everyone paid their taxes on time. Once they paid their taxes, they could buy and sell as they pleased.
Although the market was turbulent, the frequency of transactions increased, and the tax collected by the government increased as well. Naturally, the officials were beaming with joy. They didn't realize the hidden dangers, the terror, or the conspiracy.
In the turbulent Great Yu Imperial Dynasty, crazy investments and the early phenomenon of short selling began to appear.
Three months later, there were more and more gamblers! More and more people were able to earn a huge amount of spirit stones from the fluctuating prices. However, even more people were losing everything they had. Without any spirit stones, they either cultivated bitterly, borrowed spirit stones, or left the city to develop their own businesses.
In Glory City, Zhong Shan and Fan Yipin were playing Go. However, neither of them looked at the chessboard. They were playing a game of blind chess. Just like the market of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty, it was a mess!
"Dongfang Hou, what do you think now?" Fan Yipin looked at Zhong Shan and asked.
"I used Glory City to simulate the various cities of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty. From the market of Glory City, I can already see how the market of the various cities of the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty is. It's been three months. I didn't expect the cultivators to be so smart. In just three months, some people have already started to prepare for a counterattack. "Zhong Shan took a deep breath.
"Oh?" Fan Yipin looked at Zhong Shan and asked.
"The main reason we can affect the market is because we have a lot of money. We can drive the market. Five hundred million, but it's not much for each city. It doesn't matter if it's not much. After three months, we have enough money. However, some of the large families and merchants in the city have cleverly joined forces. They have gathered together and started to play Go. They want to change our rhythm. "Zhong Shan pondered.
"Oh? Rhythm? If the rhythm is messed up, the Sky Breaker Plan will be ineffective. At most, we will earn some money. "Fan Yipin looked at Zhong Shan. There was no anxiety in his eyes, only doubt.
"It doesn't matter. I've already considered it. However, there are still three days before my plan. In these three days, let them earn more. In three days, watch how I make these large financial groups that have climbed to the position of the chess players fall to the bottom. They will all become chess pieces, "Zhong Shan said with certainty.
Hearing Zhong Shan's words, Fan Yipin's pupils shrank. He looked at Zhong Shan and frowned. Then, his brows relaxed and he revealed a smile.
"Three days. Haha. The first step of the Sky Breaker Plan is complete?" Fan Yipin laughed.
"Yes, the first step is complete. Next is the real Sky Breaker Plan! The first three months can only be said to be a foundation. Next will be the first collapse of the Great Yu Market. After this collapse, the Great Yu Market will suffer a great loss, "Zhong Shan said with incomparable confidence.
