Chapter 1384

"Is this even worth considering? Buying it now is making a profit; why not rush?"

Suddenly, a crisp sound of a gong came from the street corner.

"Sujinxuan lists it at two taels and seven qian, releasing three bolts!"

"Jinxiufang is buying spot goods at two taels and four qian!"

"Shangyige lists it at two taels and six qian, temporarily out of stock!"

For a time, the entire East Market of Changancheng was in chaos, as noisy as a vegetable market.

On the other side.

In the Imperial Garden, incense curled, and Wu Zhao played with a Ru kiln tea cup with her fingertips, suddenly hearing the sound of hurried footsteps from afar.

"Report!"

A black-armored guard knelt on one knee and reported: "Reporting to Your Majesty, at the third quarter of the Chen hour, Shangyige listed it at two taels and six qian!"

Almost instantly.

Wu Zhao stopped playing with the Ru kiln porcelain cup, her phoenix eyes carrying shock.

"How much?"

"Shangyige listed it at two taels and six qian? How long has it been? The price of Zhao Gao has already broken through two taels and five qian?"

Gao Yang was very calm; he took a sip of tea and said, "Your Majesty, stay calm; this is just the beginning."

"Under the frenzy, the true madness will only be at the end."

Shangguan Wan'er's hand holding the brush paused, and the cinnabar seeped a bit of crimson on the rice paper.

Wu Zhao's phoenix eyes swept over Gao Yang's calm appearance of tasting tea, and she took a deep breath, "You guessed right, Minister Gao."

"These merchants move really fast; now it just depends on whether they hoard goods and are willing to sell."

Before the words fell, another urgent report rang through the Imperial Garden.

"Report!"

"At the Si hour, Sujinxuan is asking for two taels and seven qian; in the East Market, merchants have already torn up yesterday's contracts on the street—even if they lose money, they refuse to sell Zhao Gao!"

"Report!"

"At the first quarter of the Si hour, the people of Changancheng are grabbing it frantically; apart from the high officials and nobles, even some ordinary commoners have started grabbing it!"

"Report!"

"At the third quarter of the Si hour, Qiyunge listed it at two taels and nine qian per bolt, only one hundred wen away from three taels per bolt!"

"Report!"

"At the Zheng hour of the noon, a large number of merchants in Changancheng are sweeping goods at a price as high as two taels and four qian; the commoners who bought Zhao Gao for one tael and five qian a month ago can earn nine hundred wen per bolt!"

Along with these voices piercing through the Imperial Garden, Wu Zhao stood up abruptly, the twelve gilded hairpins on her body clashing and emitting a crisp sound.

She turned her head to look and saw Gao Yang holding a piece of osmanthus cake and stuffing it into his mouth, as if what he heard was just idle chatter, still full of indifference.

Wu Zhao clenched her fists, staring at Gao Yang.

This guy really managed to pull it off!

At this time.

"Report!"

"Your Majesty—"

Li Long rushed in, "At the second quarter of the noon, thirteen silk shops in the East Market jointly listed it... at three taels!"

"The price of one bolt of Zhao Gao has officially broken three!"

At the same time.

Li Long swallowed a mouthful of saliva and continued.

"And Liu Yuanwai of the South Market pawned his ancestral home, exchanged it for eight thousand taels of cash, and is recruiting people on a large scale, wanting to go to the Zhao Kingdom personally to sweep goods!"

"Coincidentally, Tian Yuanwai of the West Market is also selling gold and silver jewelry on a large scale, announcing that he is sweeping goods!"

"At the same time, the major giant merchants of Changancheng are also restless; the Shangyige caravan has already assembled, seemingly also wanting to head to the Zhao Kingdom!"

Clang!

The tea cup smashed onto the white marble table; Wu Zhao looked at Gao Yang, who was slowly wiping the cake crumbs from the corners of his mouth, and suddenly felt a chill down her back.

This young man, who always smiled warmly and was extremely lustful, was, at this moment, in the garden full of spring, even more chilling than the bitter winter!

Everything was within Gao Yang's expectations!

After Gao Yang drank a mouthful of tea to moisten his throat, he said faintly, "Your Majesty, this is the combined force of the market; relying on the strength of one family, it is difficult to shake the entire market!"

"But as the news spreads, the retail investors who want to chase the high and enter the game can!"

"They will hype the market up, hype it to madness!"

"Next, this combined force will take Changancheng as the center and spread to the entire Da Qian and the entire Zhao Kingdom!"

"The true storm... has begun!"
