Chapter 985 Inedible
"Young Master..." Chen Qingsheng and Bai Qingqi made friends, "Mr. When the people of the family participated in this business, they said that the emerald brocade, fur and paper would share the profits of the eight major families, but the most important thing is to wait until the Xiliang farmland is no longer plowed... After the people's demand for food is strong, the eight major families Families can sell grain at a high price, so that the money earned by the people of Xiliang with emerald brocade, furs and paper will easily enter the pockets of the eight major families, which is equivalent to the busyness of the people of Xiliang today. Earning money for the Eight Great Families!"
"So the eight major families all have food reserves, and the amount of food stored is quite large. If we start to increase the price of food, the eight major families will inevitably start selling food. If it is a little lower than ours, no one will buy our food. gone."
"If this is the case, we will continue to double the price of grain, and the eight major families will continue to follow suit! The reason for raising the price of grain is to let the empress of Xiliang see that she has caught the price of Fengnian, so as to force Xiliang to pay the price. The empress released Fengnian to stabilize food prices..." Bai Qingqi spoke slowly, "Our purpose is to rescue Fengnian and let Fengnian return to Dazhou."
"Yes!" Chen Qingsheng hurriedly stood up and saluted, "Young one, let's send orders to make arrangements!"
Bai Qingqi stood up, picked up the teacup on the small table beside her, and said in a cold voice, "Don't worry, you send some people... to take over Xiliang's food shortage, the sharp rise in food prices, and the hundred-year-old city guard of the Great Zhou Dynasty. I am ordered to withhold the food sent to Xiliang from now on, and when the domestic food in Xiliang is about to run out in a month or so, there will be news that Da Zhou will raise troops to attack Xiliang... Send a copy to Dayan. "
Bai Qingqi took a sip of tea with downcast eyes, covered the lid of the cup, and looked out of the bright sunny window...
The Eight Great Families are all profit-seeking, otherwise they would not "collaborate" with Cui Fengnian to collect money in such a way that almost drove the people of Xiliang to a dead end.
Most profit-seeking people are greedy, and Bai Qingqi is also very greedy...
Although the purpose of this time is to save Jintong, in his view, Jintong's imprisonment is a crisis, but it is also an opportunity. What he wants is to take advantage of this opportunity to drag Dayan into the water.
When this news was sent to Dayan, there were two outcomes. Merchants in Yan Kingdom were not greedy... they would take this opportunity to transport grain and sell it to the people of Xiliang at the daily rising market price in Xiliang for profit.
Or, the people of Yan were greedy and prepared to hoard grain and sell it to Xiliang at a high price when Xiliang ran out of grain.
But Bai Qingqi guessed that Dayan, the Ninth Prince, would definitely provide food to Xiliang, even if it was a high price...
Because Dayan and Rong Di signed the covenant first, and they can't break the contract, and they can't just watch Da Zhou and Rong Di destroy Xiliang. This will make Da Zhou stronger, and it will be more difficult for Yan to rule the world in the future. .
Therefore, Dayan will definitely help Xiliang to tide over the difficulties, and will definitely allow Yan country merchants to transport grain to Xiliang and sell it to Xiliang at a high price...
At that time, the price of grain in Yan State will rise sharply. As long as Dazhou sends merchants to Dayan to collect grain at a higher price, the people who are running around for their livelihood will sell grain for profit. ... will follow the trend and collect grain in Yan State at a high price and sell it to Xiliang at a higher price.
In this way, Dayan provided Xiliang with a large amount of food, and obtained a large amount of property from Xiliang to weaken Xiliang, causing Xiliang to hang his breath intermittently. Zhou uses grain to grab Xiliang's throat.
Because what Dayan wanted most was to let Xiliang delay the three-year covenant between Yan and Rongdi, and then they could share Xiliang with Rongdi and Dazhou.
Once this matter is settled, the strategy against Yan will have to be changed.
Da Zhou made an alliance with Rong Di to seize Xiliang’s grain, and while assisting Rong Di, sent a small number of soldiers and horses to attack Xiliang together with Rong Di, so that the people of Xiliang would not be able to farm with peace of mind... I am afraid that the work will be in vain in the end. Planting food for the enemy army, whether it is for the benefit of the country of Yan... or for the survival of Xiliang, the grain will continue to be sent to Xiliang.
When Dayan's food was almost sent to Xiliang, and the new food had not been picked up, Da Zhou turned around and attacked Yan. Then the food, grass and supplies... was the biggest weakness of Yan State.
At that time, Rong Di and Da Zhou were allies, and Rong Di himself was short of food, so Da Zhou's attack on Yan would not be able to provide Day Yan with food, so the hardest bone in Yan State, Da Zhou would be able to defeat it. Just around the corner.
Bai Qingqi stayed in the Yan army for two years. Although she never took part in the battle to regain Nanyan, she participated in the battle to destroy Wei...
He knew that Yan State had always been in short supply of food, and it only got better after the destruction of Wei State. Every time Yan State invaded a city, the first thing to check was the granary.
In the past three years, Dayan suffered disasters first, and then was in war. It can be said that after expanding the land and obtaining the city, population and grain storage of Wei State, it was slowed down. Chen Chenxiang is rotten and inedible because of it.
This is mainly because the geographical location of the Wei State at that time can be described as favorable, there were few wars, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment...so the stored food was not moved much.
Yan’s battle to destroy Wei didn’t end until April of this year. Yan’s people were panicked and there were very few cultivators, but Yan just happened to catch up with Wei’s bumper harvest in May and June, but... Wei’s The food to feed the entire Dayan, and food for Xiliang, once Da Zhou turns around and attacks the country of Yan, the food for the country of Yan... will be in short supply.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, even if Da Zhou couldn't destroy Dayan... he would still maim Dayan! If Dayan is beaten until he is no longer able to compete with Zhou, the road to unification will be much easier.
After Bai Qingqi made up her mind, she quickly wrote a letter and ordered the secret guard to send the letter back to Bai Qingyan in the capital city.
On the first day Bai Qingqi arrived, the price of grain in all the grain shops of the Cui family in Yunjing, Xiliang suddenly tripled. After hearing the news, the common people turned to other shops to buy grain. Three times, they were also panicked for a while, guessing whether the Cui family shop had some important news. Hanging a sign to close for a day, some simply followed suit and tripled the price of grain.
Grain shops all raised their prices and closed their doors, and the people panicked when they heard about it... At this time, no one knew who let the wind out, saying that the grain would have to be doubled tomorrow.
For a while, the people who did not have much food in their homes were panicked, and even hurried to line up at the entrance of the food store to buy food.
