Chapter 104 Talented

For politics, Yun Zhao does not have a deep feeling, and Yun Zhao knows even more about war.

If the same conditions are given, politically Yun Zhao cannot be the opponent of Hong Chengchou and Sun Chuanting, and if the same conditions are given, militarily, Yun Zhao is not the opponent of Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong.

If there were no knowledge and means accumulated in later life, the Yun clan would be a slightly larger bandit at best, and Yun Zhao at this time might be a small leader under Li Hongji, leading the Yun bandits to charge for Li Hongji.

Yun Zhao knew where his advantages were, so he was determined to expand his advantages without limits.

In the area of Anmin, Fumin, and Fumin, no one in the world is Yun Zhao's opponent!

Therefore, for a long time in the future, Lantian County will work tirelessly to improve the lives of the people as the first priority.

With the urgency of using the people to protect the fruits of their labor, the armed forces of Lantian County will be infinitely strengthened.

With Yun Zhao's advantage in weapon foresight, arm these armies with the best weapons.

The people of the Ming Dynasty did not ask for much, and even said that it was pitiful.

When they no longer starved, they worshipped Yun Zhao, who led them to eat, as a god.

When they have a slight surplus in life, they think that their county lord is the best official in the world.

When they are far from poverty, they are willing to use their lives to protect their property, and by the way, to protect this county lord who rides on their heads to show off their might.

Every year during the summer harvest, it is the most lively time in Lantian County, and all grain merchants from all over the world seem to come to Lantian County at this time.

This also indicates that the shortcomings of the lack of food in the Ming Dynasty have not been corrected.

This year, Yun Zhao is ready to take advantage of the opportunity of the bumper grain harvest to hit the grain prices in Jiangnan fiercely!

When the grain merchants found out that the price of bulk grain in Lantian County had fallen by 20% overnight, they immediately went crazy, and countless fast horses rushed in all directions at the first time.

Because, the bulk grain in Lantian County refers to the transaction of more than 500,000 quintals, so it will be called a bulk.

Transactions of less than 500,000 quintals are all small-value transactions, and the price is maintained at the market price.

This will avoid hurting the price of food that people sell in a piecemeal manner.

There are not many buyers in the world who can afford to deliver 500,000 quintals of grain in cash, but Ying Tian's prefect is obviously one of them.

This year, Shi Kefa encountered a very serious problem, that is, the nobles of Nanjing closed the granaries uniformly, and instead used silver to pay the small taxes that should be paid this year.

The surplus grain of the scattered small households in various counties was also bought by them in the form of cash, resulting in those retail households not having grain to be delivered to the government, and the same grain was paid in cash.

In previous years, this kind of taxation under a whip law would have been the happiest thing for all officials.

Now it was different, and those nobles concluded that even if Shi Kefa got the silver, he would not have a place to buy a large amount of grain to complete the share of military rations urgently needed by the imperial court.

And most of the grain near Ying Tianfu was in their hands, and the little silver given to Shi Kefa would naturally be able to get back exponentially from the raised price of grain.

They thought that in September, if Shi Kefa could not get enough military rations, Shi Kefa would be greeted with a very miserable end.

Not only can they get rid of Shi Kefa, who is always targeting them, but they can also make a lot of money, and those nobles can not miss it.

Zhang Feng keenly found that there seems to be a big business to be done in the middle, and if it is done well, it should be able to bring very rich income to Guanzhong.

He was not a specialist in this area, and after discovering the methods of the nobles of Yingtianfu, he left Nanjing under the pretext of going out to buy grain, and returned to Lantian County in the starry night.

Hundreds of abacus crackled in the room, Zhang Feng held a tea bowl and drank tea leisurely, and from time to time said a few words to Yang Xiong, whose head had just been scarred.

"It is said that Bao Zheng has a white crescent in the center of his eyebrows, what is the reason why there is an extra black crescent in the center of your eyebrows?"

Yang Xiong touched the itchy scar, and said slowly: "If you have time, invite me to eat and drink, go to Mingyue Tower to listen to music, watch dances, and watch plays. ”

Zhang Feng said: "No need, I just went back to Yushan, I already know the reason for the crescent moon in your eyebrows."

I don't think I'll have a chance to do anything in my life that makes the county jealous and wants to kill me. ”

"Don't underestimate yourself, our career has just started, this is what the county said at the night fishing Zhang Guoying's party, you are diligent, maybe one day you will be mixed into the position of the master."

Zhang Feng laughed and said: "We can all joke with the four words of the meritorious master, do you think this kind of thing will happen?" ”

Yang Xiong touched the scar on the center of his eyebrows and sighed, "I was impulsive at that time. ”

Zhang Feng pointed to the abacus in the room: "How much profit can they get in the end?" ”

Yang Xiong looked up at the numbers on the blackboard in the room and said: "If you sell the grain to Zhang Bingzhong, who is fighting against Yang Sichang and Zuo Liangyu, you can make a profit of ten times, sell it to Li Hongji and make a profit of about three times, and sell it to Yang Sichang, you will lose money, and if you sell it to Shuzhong, you will lose more than forty percent, but it will also collect a large number of displaced people in Shu."

It depends on how the county honors this account in the end. ”

Zhang Feng said: "The climate in the south is not good for grain storage.

When the rice is harvested, if it is rainy and it is not harvested, threshed and dried in time, then the rice will germinate in the field and field.

Rice in storage is also prone to germination if it is dewed, damp or rain-leaking.

The rice is threshed and dried in a timely manner, and the grass is stacked and easy to turn yellow.

The value of sprouted and yellowed rice is not as good as 10% of good grain.

In addition, rice is not resistant to high temperatures, and rice that has passed the summer is easy to age, and rice that is exposed to the scorching sun, or rice that is suddenly cold after being exposed to the sun, is prone to "bursting waist".

Soon after the new rice is in the warehouse, when the temperature drops, it tends to condense on the surface of the grain pile, and these are the places where we can take advantage of it. ”

Yang Xiong looked at Zhang Feng and said: "Poison is better than food, if you really do this, it will always be the people who will suffer." ”

Zhang Feng said with a smile: "That's why we buy grain from Lantian.

Zhou Guoping has already become the senior sister of the White Lotus Sect, and we need a controllable civil uprising to clean up the power of the nobles of Ying Tianfu in the countryside, and at the same time dig out the roots of the White Lotus Sect in Ying Tianfu, and then manage it comprehensively. ”

Yang Xiong shook his head with a smile and said, "You all like this kind of practice of finishing your work in one battle. ”

Zhang Feng said: "Who else?" ”

Yang Xiong patted his mouth and said, "You can't say anything from my mouth, just do your thing." ”

Zhang Feng sighed and said: "The people in the south are different from the people in the north, their lives are relatively easy, even if there is no food in the fields, they can find some supplementary food from the dense water network.

If there is no fundamental change, the people of the south will not rise up like the people of the north.

This needs to be guided slowly, and finally a stalemate will be formed, so that the people there can weigh the pros and cons before taking the initiative to join us. ”

Yang Xiong took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl and said, "You should go and say these words to the county lord in person, instead of nagging me." ”

Zhang Feng shook his head and said: "I'm just blowing the wind for you, Zhou Guoping relied on her national identity to seize the command of Ying Tianfu's subordinates, and she also said that what she did was naturally borne by her." ”

Yang Xiong glanced at Zhang Feng and said: "Since the county zun did not deprive her of her national identity, he expected that she would seize power, and if she didn't seize it, she would not be worthy of being called Zhou Guoping."

Although you have your own strengths, when it comes to the overall situation, you are too far from Zhou Guoping.

If that woman hadn't been brained because of the yang essence, she would definitely not have fallen to the point of seizing power with you. ”

As the two spoke, the sound of the last abacus in the big room finally stopped.

An old man with slender fingers and a clear face came out of the room, handed a page of paper to Yang Xiong and said, "This is just a calculation on paper, we have a seventy percent chance of winning the food war this time."

This is only a conclusion that has been calculated by the normal business methods of the people.

If you have the power to intervene in this, it will change, and unless you can deal with it, I would not advise you to gamble so much. “

"What's the worst-case scenario?"

The old man said coldly: "All the goods have been lost, all the personnel have died, and the business war is not as merciful as the battlefield, you must have a clear understanding of this." ”

Yang Xiong smiled and said to the old man: "Thank you for your advice." ”

Dong Lao showed a rare smile and said: "Actually, there are a few disciples of Yushan Academy who can already go out of the mountain, you can ask the county venerable to let two of them go to Yingtianfu with you." ”

After speaking, he floated away with his hands behind his back.

Zhang Feng pouted and said, "The business person has officially debuted? ”

Yang Xiong said: "After studying for five years, and polishing in various caravans and businesses for three years, I should have some skills!"

At the beginning, the county respected himself to invite Dong Lao to teach at Yushan Academy, but Cheng Men Lixue was not counted, and it was definitely more than enough to look at the thatched house.

At the beginning, I thought carefully that our Yushan Academy was a famous family in the northwest, so why did we want a group of copper-smelling businessmen to come in, but now it seems that the county is more discerning. ”

Zhang Feng said with a smile: "The county's vision is ruthless and poisonous, and it can be called unique in the world!" ”

Yang Xiong glanced at the paper handed to him by Dong Lao again, and handed it to Zhang Feng and said, "Seven hundred and thirty thousand quintals of grain can be prepared for you, but the silver that is said to be good cannot be missing."

At the same time, in order to cooperate with your actions, you need to make up for the loss of 20% of the silver in Guanzhong in the future.

Are you sure about that? ”

Zhang Feng took a long breath and said, "Repay him with death!" ”

Yang Xiong sneered and said, "Can your corpse be used as so much silver?" ”

Zhang Feng gritted his teeth and said, "Go all out." ”

Yang Xiong nodded with satisfaction, pressed his hands on Zhang Feng's shoulders and said, "Take care." ”
