Due to the intervention of profiteers, the price of grain in Yunzhou increased several times overnight, and the original grain for one stone was about 400 yuan, but after their promotion, it immediately soared to 3,000 yuan, and it was in short supply.

Whenever there is a little grain in the market, it will be bought by these people. As a result, all the large and small grain stores in Yunzhou are closed, and even if you have money, you can't buy food.

As a result, the people began to panic.

But a decree came to put them at ease again.

People from Yunzhou do not need to worry about the problem of food, because the government has already started to distribute food to each person and household according to the registered register.

Although there is not much food, we are still able to eat enough.

The decree has just been introduced, and the panic caused by the grain in Yunzhou has gradually calmed down.

The profiteers led by Zhang Fang were not reconciled and once again increased their purchase of grain. The price of grain in Yunzhou also soared to 4,000 yuan.

That's ten times the price of other places.

Driven by profits, many large businesses have also joined the wave of food hoarding.

Even some people in Yunzhou cut back on food and clothing, selling the saved rations in exchange for money.

Anyway, they have food supplies from the government, and they are not afraid of starvation.

In this way, the grain flowed out little by little, and finally fell into the hands of Zhang Fang and others.

……

Inside the city of Lunu.

The Shepherd's Mansion is full of people coming and going, and it is very busy to go in and out.

"How's it going?"

Guo Jia asked.

He has already handed over the trade war to Su Qinglian, and this is also Su Qinglian's command post.

The people of the Zhen family and the Su family were all handed over to Su Qinglian to command.

"A little bit of an accident?"

Su Qinglian's eyes kept on the note in her hand, which was the information of the grain market she asked her men to collect.

She is investigating trends in food throughput and price growth.

Through these two things, she can analyze the financial strength and support of her opponent.

However, judging from the data in front of him, things seem to be a little unexpected for him.

How is going on?

Guo Jia asked puzzled.

In order to cooperate with Su Qinglian's fishing plan, he has asked the Zhen family and the Su family to smash all the surplus grain in their hands into the market, and divide nearly half of the remaining grain in the granary.

"How many days can Yunzhou's inventory last?"

Su Qinglian asked without answering.

Guo Jia hesitated for a moment and said, "One month at most!" ”

This time, in order to cast a long line to catch big fish, Guo Jia distributed the grain to the people, and the people were attracted by the high prices of the merchants, and they cut back on food and clothing to exchange food for money.

It's been half a month now.

A month?

Su Qing took a few steps with his hand, and suddenly said: "Fengxiao, I know very well the foundation of the Zhang family in Yuyang, he can't support it for long at such a high price." Now that we have been fighting openly and secretly for so many days, he still has a steady stream of financial resources coming in, and most likely there is a big consortium behind him to help him. If my guess is correct, it is most likely that Youzhou Mu Liu Yu used Youzhou's treasury to support him. Merchants poured into Zhuo County, and Liu Yu made a lot of money, so this should be it. ”

Her gaze fell on Guo Jia.

"Fengxiao, this is a big fish, do you want to catch a big fish?"

Of course I did!

Guo Jia's eyes lit up a little.

This is all money from Yunzhou, this was originally his money,

Very good!

Su Qinglian nodded immediately.

"In this case, we have to change our plan, not a quick decision, but a protracted war, so that they can import all their financial resources into Yunzhou. Then come and shut down and beat the dog. ”

Good!

Guo Jia immediately raised his hands in approval.

"What you have to do is to fully cooperate with me to reduce the outflow of grain and create a false impression that they are running out of food, so that they will make a desperate bet and increase the purchase price of grain, and then their financial resources will be almost exhausted, and we will immediately start to blockade the surroundings."

Got it!

A smile appeared on Guo Jia's face.

This is a big fish, how can Guo Jia let it go.

Other than that......

Su Qing paused and said, "In order to prevent the invasion of Gongsun Zan of Zhuo County, we must deploy enough troops on the Anguo side. ”

Guo Jia has been prepared for this!

Zhao Yun's cavalry was on standby at any time, Gao Shun's infantry also rushed outside the city of Lunu, plus Zhang Fei's 10,000 army on the Anguo side, the number of soldiers capable of fighting had reached 30,000, even in the face of Gongsun Zhan's 50,000 army.

"Okay, that's all, you go down first."

Su Qinglian waved her hand.

Guo Jia was about to leave when he suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He hussar general Wen Xianhou, the lord of the two states of Yunnan and Hebei, how could he be turned around by a girl commanding a fart?

This girl is dominant!

Guo Jia walked in front of her and just wanted to theorize a few words.

found that Su Qinglian's face was very tired, and she fell asleep leaning on the pillar.

Since Guo Jia handed over this trade war to her, she has not closed her eyes for several days in a battle of wits and courage with these profiteers.

Guo Jia's heart moved slightly, and he picked her up lightly, put her on the bed, covered her with a blanket, and then quietly went out.

He was very glad to have such a woman by his side who was proficient in business warfare.

Otherwise, in the face of the attacks of these profiteers, Guo Jia can only denounce them and use force.

But in that case, the chickens will fly and the eggs will be beaten, and nothing will be caught.

As soon as Guo Jia walked out, Su Qinglian opened her eyes and a smile appeared on her face.

Although the two have not been married for long, she can see that this man is caring.

Guo Jia!

Her eyes flashed with a strange look.

Hopefully, this time she's not looking at the wrong person.

……

Walking out of Su Qinglian's courtyard, Guo Jia couldn't help but stretch.

In the past few days, his spirit has been in a tense state, and it is easy to have Su Qinglian to help him, which is a lot easier at this time.

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Husband, what is the important thing for you to come here so early!"

Not far away, a palace beauty looked at him quietly, it was Cai Yan.

Wen Ji!

Seeing Cai Yan's figure, Guo Jia was surprised and delighted.

"You're back, why didn't you notify me, I'm going to pick you up!"

He came to Cai Yan excitedly.

When he was in Jizhou, Guo Jia led the cavalry to come back first, and Cai Yan's chariot and infantry came back a little slower.

However, it was only ten days before the two came back one after another.

Don't dare to bother your husband!

Cai Yan said lightly: "I heard that my husband has taken a concubine in his busy schedule, and he is very capable. The concubine is the main room, but she can't share her worries with her husband, which is really embarrassing. This time, I want to ask this capable girl for more advice. ”

Reading between the lines, there was a smell of gunpowder.

Not good!

Guo Jia's heart sank violently.
