Chapter 579: Raising housing prices? There is such a vicious scheme

"Hoarding supplies, artificially creating famine?"

"A steamed bun sold for a thousand taels?"

Accompanied by Gao Yang's voice, Gao Tianlong and Gao Feng both exclaimed in shock.

Their faces were full of disbelief.

Gao Tianlong felt his scalp tingle; he found it hard to imagine.

A steamed bun for a thousand taels—if one really dared to sell it, what kind of world would that be?

Could these merchants really survive?

Lady Li said with a nervous face, "Yang'er, we absolutely cannot do this. The torture of being 'lit as a sky lantern' is not something to play with; its cruelty is outrageous!"

"Even if you aren't lit as a sky lantern, doing this will result in having no descendants!"

Lady Li's face was full of nervousness. If someone else had said this, she would have just laughed it off, but with Gao Yang saying it, she was quite panicked.

Because in her heart, Gao Yang really could do it.

Hearing this, Gao Yang smiled faintly and said, "Mother, child already said, child still has some conscience and cannot do this; I was just giving an example to Grandfather and Father."

"This Road-Blocking Asura Gambit, once used well, is quite terrifying because the logic behind it is artificially expanding conflict and creating demand out of thin air."

"Its logical thinking is not just about guarding caravans by day and robbing them by night; it also has miraculous effects when applied to grain!"

"If there are a large number of mountain bandits near a city, specifically robbing passing grain caravans, the grain caravans will definitely increase their guards. In this way, costs will rise significantly, and grain prices will also skyrocket."

"As long as grain prices skyrocket, these bandits can also transport the grain they robbed into the city, sell it at a high price, and do so extremely safely!" ===== CHAPTER 581 =====
