Section 5: Suspicion

"Chongxin is really powerful, I just showed a little bit of a tone to let you notice. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Wu Feng laughed and said, "What, how is the thing I arranged going here in Kansai?"
"Lord Hui, everything is being handled according to your instructions, all the reserve granaries in Kansai have been cleared out, and grain is being stockpiled according to the plan, and we have also rented a large number of warehouses from the private sector for grain storage. It's just that my subordinates want to take the liberty of asking, the amount of such a large-scale grain storage has far exceeded the needs of the adult's territory, even if Kansai and Northwest encounter a disaster that is rare in a century, it will not be consumed in a few years, and the price of grain has risen from four gold coins per quintal to six gold coins per quintal due to a large number of purchases in Kansai and Northwest, the price has risen by 50 percent, and it has risen to twice the price in the harvest year, and the subordinates really can't understand what the purpose of the adult is to do this. Although Liang Chongxin is both wise and brave, and is very familiar with government affairs, he can't figure out why Wufeng would make a big fuss about the food issue, even if such a large-scale grain purchase really needs to be strategically reserved, if it is divided into several years, the cost can be saved by more than half, why do you have to concentrate on this short period of two or three months?
"Hehe, the secret of heaven must not be leaked, and in the second half of the year, you will know how powerful this trick is. "You don't have to ask more, I won't say much if I ask, this grain reserve plan must be implemented unconditionally, there is no discount to beat, if there is anyone who dares to violate the yang and the yin, severely punish it!"
Liang Chongxin and Ling Huyi exchanged glances with a wry smile and didn't say more, both of them originally wanted to admonish Wu Feng on this issue, but when they saw Wu Feng say this, they didn't dare to speak.
"By the way, Linghu, is there any abnormal reaction to the impact on our grain reserve plan? This was also the key to Wu Feng's recent intelligence gathering under the command of the Military Intelligence Agency, and such a big plan would surely attract the attention of those who wanted to know what they thought of his almost insane behavior.
"According to the plan of the adults, our external propaganda is to absorb a large number of immigrants to develop North Luzon, but this reason is difficult to make sense for such a large-scale grain purchase, so I and Lord Gu and Lord Diao revealed through special channels that we are ready to develop the economy of the East Tengger Grassland, and we are ready to prepare a large number of immigrants from the Indean side of the East Tengger Grassland, so we need to prepare enough food, although it is still a little difficult to explain, but it is estimated that we can barely cope with it. Ling Fox Wing scratched his scalp and said, for this task, he tried his best, and the adults did not explain what the real purpose of hoarding food was, in his own opinion, in addition to wars and famines, storing so much food is simply redundant, but it is impossible to fight a war with so much food, it is impossible for the whole empire to break out at the same time, resulting in a barren land and a shortage of food, right? But he couldn't accept the task assigned by the boss, so he had to come up with a series of disguised intentions, so that Wu Feng adopted it, as for the special channel, it naturally refers to the channels for double agents and moles arranged in all parties to send information.
"Then Linghu, you mean that you haven't found any abnormal reactions in other areas yet?"
Ling Fox Wing could see that Wu Feng attached great importance to this point, and hurriedly replied: "Up to now, our intelligence personnel have not reported back the information of the abnormal situation, and the empire has expressed no understanding of the adult's actions, and the attitudes of the other parties are very vague, and there is not much clear intention to show. However, I have strictly asked them to keep an eye on it, especially the Kamans and the Machans, and that they will be able to send back information as soon as they become available. ”
Wu Feng nodded speechlessly, and didn't say more, but he had a hunch that not everyone would let go of his sudden big move, and there would always be someone staring at him.
Although some people do not know or are not sure what the intention of this frenzied grain purchase in the northwest is, such a large-scale grain purchase has already had a huge impact on the grain prices of the entire Eastern Continent, and this cannot but arouse the suspicion of people with good intentions.
Lei Juetian, who returned to Sanglin City with Wen Ning, regardless of his tiredness, immediately asked to meet the Great Khan Bi Xili, and saw that it was the Minister of State, although it was already dark at night, but the guards still did not dare to slack off, and immediately transmitted the news of the Minister of State asking to see the Great Khan into the palace, and there was almost no delay, and a Khan order came to invite the Minister of State to enter the palace.
"Juetian, what is so urgent that you have just come back from the north, has there been any change in the war in the north?" Bi Xili, dressed in a dressing gown, had obviously just gotten up from his bed, but he was not upset that his Minister of State had disturbed his sleep, and he knew that his Secretary of State would not come to see him at such a time without reason.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a situation that I would like to inform Your Majesty, and at the same time, I would like to ask Your Majesty to judge. After meeting Bi Xili, Lei Juetian hesitated a little, until Bi Xili's puzzled gaze fell on his face as a minister of state, Lei Juetian frowned and said with a smile.
"Oh, what kind of situation deserves Juetian's attention?"
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry, it's just that the minister thinks this situation is very suspicious, so he specially reported it to His Majesty and asked His Majesty to consider it. In the past month or so, Li Wufeng, the newly appointed military and political governor of the Tang River Empire in the northwest and western part of the country, has carried out large-scale grain purchases through various channels in the Wuhu, Jiangnan, and Donghai provinces, as well as in the two provinces of Yuejing and Ankun in China, which has caused the price of grain in the eastern continent to rise sharply, and the grain he has purchased has far exceeded the grain needed in his territory, and even exceeded his demand by several times. Lei Juetian solemnly narrated.
"Oh?" Bi Xili certainly knew that the reason why Lei Juetian came to report this situation to him was not so simple, he just looked at his minister of state with an inquiring gaze, hoping that he could explain in more detail.
"Your Majesty, don't look at me with such a gaze, I'm just informing you of the situation, and I don't have anything more to say. Lei Juetian said with a wry smile, he knew that the Great Khan would definitely be very surprised, and he had entered the palace overnight to report to the Great Khan just because a neighbor who had not had a big conflict so far had a grain purchase operation, was it a bit of a fuss.
"Hehe, Juetian, I'm a little strange, but I absolutely believe that there must be your reasons why my Minister of State attaches so much importance to this matter, so I want to hear your explanation. Bichley's surprised gaze flashed, and he shrugged and smiled.
"Your Majesty, to be honest, I can't tell you what's weird about it, but if you think about it, every action of this guy Li Wufeng will always bring a lot of turmoil, so I've been paying attention to this guy's moves, although his big purchase has passed through many indirect channels, but it can't hide it from us, especially his acquisitions in our two provinces of Yuejing and Ankun, there is not much to hide at all, what is he going to do with such a large-scale grain purchase? I would love to know this, but none of the information obtained by our intelligence agencies could convince me, so I made a point to report it to His Majesty. Lei Juetian was very distressed, he was sure that there was something wrong with this, but he couldn't see or think of any reason for the other party to carry out such a crazy plan.
Bi Xili was also silent, in fact, he had already obtained this information, but it is difficult to judge what the purpose of the other party is for this kind of simple grain purchase, as the Minister of State said, according to the information obtained by the intelligence system, whether the Northwest people are preparing to develop Northern Luzon, or immigrate in Tengger, these reasons are not sufficient, even Bi Xili is difficult to believe in this somewhat far-fetched reason, but after careful analysis, Bi Xili can not judge what the other party's intentions are, especially the purchase of grain in his own country, the price and freight are already expensive, is there really any conspiracy in it?
"Juetian, what do you think of this matter, or how are you going to deal with it?" Bi Xili asked after a long silence.
"Great Khan, to be honest, I don't have a bottom in my heart, Li Wufeng's behavior seems to be preparing for an action, but the hoarding of food is really illogical, and it doesn't seem to pose any threat or impact to us, we have already prepared military reserves according to the plan, but Li Wufeng's behavior is by no means crazy, I wonder if we need to follow up and buy some food to prepare for it?" When he said this, Lei Juetian also felt a little reluctant, there was no reason, just because he saw someone doing something and followed up himself, this kind of blind action seemed too naïve and difficult to convince people.
Sure enough, Bi Xili, who had always been obedient to the opinions of the Minister of State, couldn't help frowning: "Juetian, do you think this is necessary? Not to mention that we have quite a lot of food reserves, and now An Kun, Yuejing and now Baling and Wenning, these grain-producing areas are all controlled in our hands, even if there is any accident, we are enough to deal with it, it is already March, by mid-May there will be a bumper harvest of grain, and the second season of grain in September will be in the warehouse again, now the price of grain has been raised so high by Li Wufeng, a madman, we will lose a lot in doing so, you also know that we have spent a lot of money on army construction in recent years, the treasury has been exhausted, and we can't afford this kind of toss at all, I think we are more cautious?"
Although the words are very tactful, Lei Juetian can also hear that the Great Khan is opposed, in fact, he himself is not sure of his opinion, just a subconscious reaction, hearing the Great Khan say this, he nodded, no longer insisted, the Great Khan is right, although the treasury has accumulated some savings in his hands for a long time, but in recent years, the expansion of the army has consumed too much, there is not much left, and he really does not dare to take any more risks, but there is always an indescribable hidden worry lingering in his heart, maybe only when the truth is revealed can he release the mystery in his heart。
