Lu Yao summoned Zhen Yan alone.

Nepotism has been a bad habit in China for 5,000 years, but we cannot but admit that this kind of bad habit basically runs through the entire history of China. In this major matter, he can only trust Zhen Yan, who has an in-law relationship.

"If you go to the Central Plains to buy grain, how much can you buy?" Lu Yao looked directly into Zhen Yan's eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"This ......" Zhen Yan couldn't tell what Lu Yao meant, and couldn't help but hesitate.

The Central Plains is rich in resources, and lowly things such as grain and grass cannot be sold for a few prices, which are far inferior to luxury goods such as porcelain and silk, and they occupy a large area. A Qiankun Lou ship's porcelain silk is worth at least 30 Qiankun Lou's ship's grain and grass.

After all, Zhen Yan is an official person, and he has also seen the world, and his sister Zhen Mi has already entered Lu Yao's harem, and she feels that she has a certain right to speak, so she boldly asked: "Porcelain and silk are worth dozens of times more than grain and grass, why did the prince go to the Central Plains to buy grain?" ”

He didn't dare to say anything, the current hoarding of grain and grass in Xanadu City was enough for a year. Even if there is a drought or flood, it will be enough to support a bumper grain harvest for the next season. But he didn't dare to say it. This is a matter of principle, how can a courtier be pampered and arrogant, and question the decision of the lord.

Lu Yao shook his head.

The Hermit gave him absolute support. Although I didn't go to the forum, and I didn't ask the thief to run and others, I knew the situation in the Central Plains well. The Iron Blood Overlord has the full support of the family, and he is arrogant in all kinds. Several surrounding states have been surging in the dark tide, like a powder keg, and only one spark is needed to detonate the Central Plains War.

Cangyue and other surrounding states are waiting for the first battle of the Iron Blood Overlord.

If the Predator can stop the first wave, then it is equivalent to saying that the surrounding states have lost. At this time, if you don't take the opportunity to pump the cold and insert the knife, is it still called a family?

If the Predator can't stop it, that's even better. Cang Yue and the others had already seen that the iron-blooded overlord was not pleasing to the eye, and they couldn't wait to quickly kick this-stirring stick out, and then everyone continued.

After the Great War, grain and grass became scarce.

In wartime, it's too normal to rob a grain road and burn grain and grass or something. During the war, the consumption of grain and grass is too high, which will inevitably lead to an increase in grain prices. The increase in food prices will inevitably affect ordinary NPCs. At this time, as long as there are some natural and man-made disasters or something, the food shortage will break out in minutes.

To say that there is a grain shortage in the Central Plains, it will have little impact on Zhuya Prefecture. However, there are no more players in Zhuya Prefecture. The Jiuli barbarians, who began to pursue spiritual civilization, exhausted their accumulated grain and grass, and that was to return to the primitive society in one day.

It is easy to go from thrift to luxury, and it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

Accustomed to eating the food supplied by Xanadu City, who can stand to continue to squat in the mountains and nests to hunt and gather for a living. You must know that the grain and grass transported by Zhen Yan and other chambers of commerce from the Central Plains have always maintained the consumption of Zhuya Prefecture.

Without food, Jiu Liman has to play with his life no matter how simple he is.

Without players, you can only rob Xanadu City.

Can't grab those cities, can't you grab the villages on the periphery?

This is the case with Lu Yaofang. There is no other reason, and he does not have the strength at present, so that Lan Mantong can unify the Jiuli Man in the entire territory of Zhuya.

This is one of them.

On the other hand, there is a large purchase of grain and grass here, and there are so many grains and grasses in Huaxia District. Zhuyazhou bought grain, and other places had less. Looking at the overall situation, this is just an inconspicuous stroke, but when each family starts to fight and fight, the effect will be infinitely magnified, prompting the food shortage to advance.

At that time, the Huaxia Alliance took the opportunity to break out. I don't dare to say much, and there is no pressure to seize a few surrounding states. There is no food, and no matter how high the troops are, there is no way.

Lu Yao didn't plan to directly persuade the hermit to hurry up and stock up on grain to prepare for a food shortage, so as to avoid missing the opportunity to eradicate the family. The hermit's side has been doing well recently, successfully recruiting Tian Feng and frustrating two strategists. He believed that as long as he revealed a little rumor, Tian Feng, who already knew the whole plan, would definitely be keenly aware of this opportunity. It's called being easy and enjoyable to deal with smart people.

"The Zhen family is willing to fully support the prince." After listening to Lu Yao's detailed plan, Zhen Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.

As the head of the Zhen family, one of the four major merchants, Zhen Yan's eyesight is not weak, and he can see the value of this transaction at a glance. The Central Plains is in turmoil, and with the player's urine, the food and grass are consumed very quickly. Hoarding grain and grass, even if you can't use it up, when the price of grain in the Central Plains skyrockets, once it changes hands, the profit is not much worse than selling luxury goods such as silk and porcelain.

When he encountered a food shortage, the price of grain did not rise fifty or sixty times, and he was embarrassed to call himself a businessman.

This deal is definitely worth gambling with the Zhen family...... No, it's to pick it up. Grain prices have skyrocketed by 180 times, and the Zhen family will become the first of the four major merchants and the richest man in the country.

The more Zhen Yan thought about it, the more excited she became, and without waiting for Lu Yao to speak, she impatiently surrendered her hand on the spot and asked for her life: "Xiaomin will rush to the Central Plains immediately." I only ask the prince to dispatch more Qiankun building ships. ”

"Exactly." Lu Yao was not verbose and approved it on the spot.

The forces of various families in Zhuya Prefecture have withdrawn. The Paradise Sailor also needs the opportunity to continue to hone, which is better than soaking in the sea water in the bay.

"Thank you, Lord Wang." Zhen Yan was grateful, and bowed and worshipped.

Lu Yao waved his hand and motioned for Zhen Yan to immediately prepare the fleet. Without further ado, there is still a lot of work to be done before the grain is stored, and it will take some time to communicate with the hermit. The earlier you lay it out, the faster and more obvious the results.

Zhen Yan hesitated, and said again: "Xiaomin wants to move the Zhen family to settle in Xanadu City, and ask the prince for permission." ”

Lu Yao frowned.

Zhen Yan is no smaller in Xanadu City than in the Central Plains. Through the transaction with Xanadu City and Jiuli Man, he made a lot of money and became rich. Over the years, most of the clan has been transferred from the Zhen family, and it is not an exaggeration to settle in Xanadu City. He didn't understand why Zhen Yan wanted to do more.

Fortunately, he didn't exercise for so long in vain, and when he thought about it, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Zhen Yan is handing over the name.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the big clans in various places basically chose the same model and bet separately to ensure that no matter which side wins the world, it can ensure the continuation of the family. This is the only way for the great family, that is, the family inheritance.

The Zhuge family is like this, and the Jiangdong Lu family is the same, so Zhen Yan will naturally not lose this courage.

Zhen Yan has always seemed to have completely taken refuge in him, but he still left his clan in the Central Plains, and he was worried that Lu Yao would fail, causing the Zhen family to perish and break the inheritance.

And this plan made Zhen Yan make up his mind and completely tied the entire Zhen family to his big boat. One is prosperous, and one is lost.

It is true that businessmen seek profits, but businessmen are born gamblers.

In this transaction, Zhen Yan is not at ease with himself. It would be a terrible fortune enough to drive the NPC forces crazy. He was even more afraid that Lu Yao would regret it and destroy the Zhen family. After staying by Lu Yao's side for a long time, he knew that Lu Yao had a secret guard led by Shen Shinobi under his hands. These ninjas assassinate people as if they were playing.

Lu Yao was not hypocritical, and accepted the Zhen family's thorough surrender, and after carefully explaining a few words, he asked Zhen Yan to prepare.
