Bai Dong was really soft-hearted, otherwise he would not have purchased the salt from salt merchants from various countries at a price of 10% higher than the market price. Under the joint suppression of his and Xu Gong, the price of salt in Wei State fell rapidly at a speed similar to free fall. You are not afraid of not selling it, because if you sell it late, the loss will be greater.

Bai Dong called this a rescue. The establishment of a large market was not just to attack Wei. Huaxia needed such a market that regulates the commodity in various countries. He never thought that the market would collapse if it was used once. Xu Gong was also a very insightful businessman. If he only wanted to attack Wei, he might not be willing to wade into this muddy water. After all, if Wei Ying was crazy, all countries in the world had great risks. The first one was Qi, which could threaten the hegemony of Wei. Xu Gong's thoughts were actually very contradictory. On the one hand, he was worried that Qi would not be able to withstand the crazy Wei Kingdom, and on the other hand, he was very dissatisfied with the Qi people's atmosphere of being content with wealth and not seeking progress. However, in the end, he decided to teach Wei some lessons. If the Wei people really attacked Qi, it might arouse the passion of the people and boost the sluggish wind, which would not waste his efforts.

Salt merchants from all over the world are not fools. Seeing the salt price plummeting and falling by 50%, everyone is vomiting blood. At this moment, Bai Zi is willing to buy the fine salt in their hands at a price of 10% higher than the market price. How can this be done business? This is charity!

So before Zhao Ji finished speaking, she was surrounded by a group of salt merchants. This was 50,000 stone and that 100,000 stone, and it was sold as much as it was, because she almost had to fight a war. In Zhao, Yan, Qi, Chu, and the managers of various salt industry bases were busy purchasing the fine salt of Wei, loading the large carts prepared by the Bai family and Xu family, and transporting them to the secret warehouses south of the Yangtze River and west of the Wushan Mountain. These warehouses were arranged by Bai Dong a few months ago. According to the historical knowledge he remembered, the locations of these warehouses were far away from the Shandong battlefield in the future. They would not be affected by the war, and they were all places where water and transportation were extremely convenient. Just wait for the war to end, the fine salt of Wei was enough for the entire China to eat for three years. If it was exclusively for Lao Qin, they could eat the day when King Wu of Qin raised the cauldron.

The collapse of salt prices was a disaster for Wei. The salt merchants gathered in Wei ran away without a trace, and the top-quality salt produced suddenly could not be sold. It was useless to reduce the price of salt. No matter how Wei reduced it, the speed was not as fast as the price reduction speed of the salt market. If Wei dared to reduce the price of salt by half a century, the market would dare to drop by 10%. Now, Wei was engaged in salt production alone, and sales personnel were more than 500,000. This was not considered to have an increase of 100,000 Wei Wuzhang. These new "professional soldiers" were all "extra-budgetary expenses". It didn't matter if the salt price fell. Now, their military service became the biggest problem. If it was not solved properly, it could be dragged across the Wei State.

The fastest reaction was the officials of Hui Shi and Gongzi Ang's lineage. Now the bamboo slips sent to Daliang have been piled up into mountains. Wei Ying was almost buried alive. If it weren't for Gongzi Ang's younger brother, Hui Shi was even more loyal. Wei Ying almost suspected that these two people were deliberately unable to get along with him. It was only a few days in just a few days? The officials of these two groups were crazy. Some demanded that the whole country be produced immediately, some demanded that the number of Wei Wushou be reduced, and some even pointed the finger at Pang Juan and asked to pursue his fault! If Pang Juan had not instigated him that day, how could Wei use the capital of the country? How could it be so embarrassed now? These people think that Pang Juan should be killed and that five horses would not be punished enough to dismember him!

The whole country is so popular that it can be killed... Wei Ying is really grateful to Pang Juan now, because even if Pang Juan does not propose to invest the country's capital into the salt industry, he will sooner or later use it. Now Pang Juan has become a scapegoat and is attacked by the ministers. As a monarch, he just needs to hide behind the general and wait for the storm to pass.

Pang Juan had no awareness of being at the forefront, and was more excited and more excited than anyone else. When the general was injected with chicken blood, he laughed happily when he heard the news of the falling salt prices and kept praising Bai Dong for his skillful methods! It's amazing, he is worthy of being our Qingxi disciple. As expected, he did what he said. After half a year of planning and taking action, the strong foundation of Wei State accumulated for decades was shaken by it. Hui Shi's group of people were fools. They couldn't see the current situation clearly. Do they really think that the king expanded his military and prepared martial arts just to look good? What are you afraid of when you have no money? We can rob it! Didn't the princes of Huai always disobey the king and the emperor? Now that Wei State has undergone a great change, the king and the emperor will not be able to fight. I, Pang Juan, will lead 400,000 elite troops to sweep the world, fulfill my king's hegemony, and also fulfill the general's name!

Pang Juan's request for battle was almost delivered to Wei Ying at the same time as the letter of impeachment. In this passionate request for battle, Senior Brother Juan really cooperated with Senior Brother Bai to tacitly blame the decline in salt prices and the main responsibility for the economic damage of Wei State was on the "insidious" methods of Qi and Zhao, and other countries, but did not mention the secret actions of the Bai family and Xu family trading clubs at all.

Since the Wei State wants to support the war, it is meaningless to seize the fighting between two trading companies. The Shandong countries are the fat in Pang Juan's eyes. When Wei Ying praised the general's wisdom and courage in the court and established the national policy of Wei State to take military affairs first in the next five to ten years, Hui Shi and Gongzi Ang could only look at each other helplessly. They always opposed Pang Juan rather than Wei State. Since the emperor had set a national policy, they could only wave flags and shout for Pang Juan, and put the shit on the Shandong countries headed by Zhao Qi, but ignored Bai Dong, the initiator.

Wei Ying and Pang Juan never thought about fighting Lao Qin at this time. First, due to the armistice contract between the two countries, second, Lao Qin is too "thin" and the people are strong, far less than that of Shandong countries, especially Qi. Qi people are rich in the world, and the people are not in a fight, so it is the most convenient way to bully them.

If there is no army, we will go to Zhao State, Qi State, and Lu State! Pang Juan comforted the whistling Wei Wushou. Once he decided to start a war, the terrifying war machine of Wei State showed the highest efficiency. The veteran Long Jia led Wei Wushou soldiers to 50,000,000 soldiers and 50,000 soldiers to hang on the Qi Guard's border; while Pang Juan raised 100,000 soldiers and 50,000 soldiers to squeeze the entire 150,000 troops to squeeze the Zhao State, and was about to hold Zhao State to attack.

The war between Wei, Qi and Zhao, which originally took place around 353 BC, was staged eight years ahead of schedule under the influence of Bai Dong, the little butterfly. Moreover, even the battle between Lu and Song, which should have been out of the matter, would inevitably be affected.

Sun Bin held a simple bound book with an inexplicable expression of surprise on his face, even more surprised than hearing the news that Senior Brother Juan had launched a war.

The cover of this book contains four big characters - "Soldiers Exploring the Micro" and the first page after opening it says, "The war is a major event of the country, a place of life and death, and a way of survival and death. It must be observed." The following are divided into thirteen chapters, including combat, attack, military shape..., including Yongjian, etc., which are mostly consistent with the secret "The Art of War" of Sun Tzu, which was passed down by his mentor. Although there are occasional differences, some of them have a deeper understanding. The views put forward in them make him, the descendants of Sun Wu, admire him.

How is this possible!

Because this set of "The Art of War" was written by his ancestors, his mentor only passed on him, and even Senior Brother Juan never learned it. When he was in Daliang, Senior Brother Juan asked about this martial art several times, but he never interfered with it. The reason was not that he deliberately concealed it from Senior Brother Juan. In fact, his mentor was not allowed to pass it on to others, otherwise he would be sorry to his ancestors. But where did this junior brother Bai learn it? Sun Bin looked at Bai Dong and felt a chill until the soles of his feet. Could it be that he accidentally leaked it in his sleep? But it shouldn't be so completely?

Bai Dong looked at Sun Tzu's Art of War and almost burst into laughter. "The Art of War" is a secret that is not passed down in this era, but it is not rare in later generations. In various versions of later generations, Sun Tzu's Art of War is used in business, economics, public relations... I'm afraid there are not many hundreds of types? He was a lawyer back then. In order to show his knowledge in front of the parties, he really recited the full text of "The Art of War". Now he wrote it down. Although it cannot be guaranteed to be completely accurate, it can match the top ten. Moreover, it also includes the experience of researchers of all generations. Some of them may not even think that it would be strange if Sun Wu took it out.

"Haha, my senior brother asked me where I learned the principle of "striking troops to attack and attack". Now my senior brother should understand it?"

"You thief!"
