Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Now we’re just waiting for the market winds to change!

And the biggest wind in Mianshui is Chen Jiusi.

So Chen Jiusi simply set fire to his own grain storage. This way, he can make these big grain merchants think there’s no grain in Mianshui, and the chance to get rich has come.

This is how they’ll bring grains into Mianshui, completely solving the grain shortage problem here.

This is Chen Jie’s trick ’invite the gentleman into the urn.’

Zhao Ya said after hearing this: "Even if you want to attract these big grain merchants, there’s no need to set such a fire. In the beginning, couldn’t you just say you had no grain?"

Chen Jie shook his head and said: "My dear Commandery Princess, do you think these big grain merchants are fools? Unless they figure out Mianshui’s situation thoroughly, would they dare to enter lightly?"

"And we don’t have much time to maneuver with them; we can only reveal our cards first and then destroy them to gain their trust. As long as they bring the grains to Mianshui, we can control them. Before that, we must deceive!"

Zhao Ya nodded lightly upon hearing this and said: "So that’s how it is. No wonder you performed such a show. But even if those grain merchants come, we can’t forcibly take their grain. They are Imperial Merchants; if they are unwilling to sell, we cannot just rob them openly!"

Chen Jie laughed and said: "Rob, don’t worry, Commandery Princess, we won’t rob. Once they arrive, I have a second plan to make them obediently sell their grain."
