"Clan Uncle, where does this claim come from? We simply want to prevent Marquis Jing'an from taking things too far, not to make an enemy of him!" Luo Changsheng clearly hadn't grasped the seriousness of the situation yet.
Indeed, they didn't want to make an enemy of Yang Zhenshan; they merely wished for a piece of the pie in the Liaodong grain trade.
But Yang Zhenshan's current actions are nothing short of monopolizing the market.
Ship after ship of grain is transported to the Tenglong Guard, then hauled to Chongshan Pass, and they can only watch helplessly, unable to do anything.
No choice, Yang Zhenshan is indeed domineering in the grain purchasing arena.
He had six major agents in Jiangnan bind the grain and glass trades together; Jiangnan isn't short on grain, so the profits from grain trading aren't great, and even if prices skyrocket in Liaodong, the price of grain in Jiangnan would only fluctuate slightly.
