In Qin Dynasty, the hero of the bright moon dominates the world

Chapter 533 Betrayal
Handan.

"Did Yanchun-jun agree so quickly?"

Returning to Handan from Jicheng, the envoy sent by Zhao Shuang brought back news.

"My subordinates found out that Mr. Yanchun bought a large amount of goods in Donghu, North Korea and other places, including many rare items such as ginseng, carvings, beads, and furs. They will be sold in large quantities to the Central Plains as soon as Qin and Yan negotiate. Capital. Therefore, Lord Yanchun wants to exchange the grain in his hands for money as much as possible."

"Is that so?" Zhao Shuang smiled, "Has the trading location been decided?"

"At the border of Qinyan, after five days, the ships of the Yan army will arrive. At that time, our army can take over."

"After getting the grain, store it in the granary in Zhongshan, and send soldiers to guard it."

The transportation of grain itself requires the consumption of a large amount of grain.Nowadays, the most convenient mode of transportation in various countries is water transportation.

Compared with land transportation, water transportation has lower cost, less consumption, more load, and is more convenient.

"promise!"

The room is quiet and there are a lot of bamboo slips.And behind the desk, there is a huge map.Zhao Shuang turned around and looked at the map.

The state of Zhao was destroyed, but the son Jia was still king in the north at this time, and joined forces with the state of Yan to go up the valley.

One of the reasons why Qin State is unwilling to pay attention to it at this time is that both Dai and the northern border of Yan State have a lot of military needs.If the Qin army attacks at this time, it will consume too much energy and increase the burden, which is not good for the next strategy.

If Qin wants to unify the world and govern the world, it must establish a complete transportation system.Water transportation is one of the pillars of this system.

"What is Guo Kai doing?"

"He's hoarding lumber, tiles, stuff like that."

Zhao Shuang smiled.If Qin Yan makes peace, building materials will definitely become urgently needed.

"Tell him that for the next military strategy, our army still needs to stockpile food and grass, and we need to buy a lot. Let him think of a way."

"promise!"

Guo Kaifu.

"My lord, Zhao Shuang sent a message that he still needs to buy food and grass."

Guo Kai waved his hand, making people retreat.

Han Cang sat under Guo Kai, with a smile on his face.

"Master Guo Kai, this is a good thing!"

Not long ago, autumn grain was imported into Handan, and the price of grain fell. They made more than three times the profit from Zhao Shuang.

However, Guo Kai was somewhat puzzled.

"How much food did Zhao Shuang collect from us?"

"Before and after, each family has a total of one hundred thousand stones!"

"Strange, I heard the news from the Yan State that Zhao Shuang also asked for 30 shi of grain from Yan Chunjun..."

Before Guo Kai finished speaking, Han Cang just said.

"Zhongshan is adjacent to Dai to the north and Yan to the east. It needs a large army to garrison. Now that the Qin army is rectifying, it is in urgent need of food and grass. It is also nearby to buy from Yan. Sir, don't worry too much."

"But is this the account of the local county?"

"My lord, you are joking. Could it be that Zhao Shuang bought it himself? Would he do such a loss-making business?" Han Cang blushed, obviously because he had drunk too much, "There is news from the country of Yan, Mr. Yanchun We have received a lot of goods from the barbarians. Just war horses, after we take over and sell them to Wei Chu, the profit will be more than ten times."

When Guo Kai was in the Qin-Zhao War, he had bought a lot of Jiancai at a low price and hoarded them.To take over the business, the hand is not rich.

After hearing Han Cang's words, Guo Kaikai let go of his doubts.

"How much food and grass do you still have?"

"One hundred thousand stones are stored in Handan and the surrounding underground cellars. If you count the others, there will be one or two million stones."

Guo Kai nodded.

"The price of grain in Handan has reached [-] qian now. In the future, it will be even lower. If Zhao Shuang is willing to pay [-] qian, we will give as much as he wants."

"Okay, I'll go and tell them."

Xianyang.

Changping Palace.

Since the death of Empress Dowager Huayang, Mr. Changping has gradually faded out of everyone's sight.

This once all-powerful Prime Minister of the Great Qin Dynasty is now neglected in the mansion.However, although Lord Changping lost his power in Qin, he still has amazing financial resources.

But recently, Mr. Changping received a piece of information, which made him a little uneasy.

"Brother, I heard that you are sick, and closed the door to thank you. But why don't I feel like it?"

Chang Wenjun came to Changping Jun's mansion, looked at him, and said with a smile.

Mr. Changping was reading a book, and seeing Mr. Changwen approaching, he gave a wry smile.

"In my mansion, what's the difference between thanking you and not thanking you now?"

Lord Changping stepped down from the position of the right prime minister, coupled with the fact that his relatives were increasingly marginalized in Xianyang, and his family was left in the cold.

Today is different from the past, the power of the aristocratic clan is still strong, but the original situation of the Chu family is no longer there.

"My son is growing up, the situation will be better."

Mr. Changping thought of his son Fusu, and a smile appeared on his face.But immediately, when he saw the information on the table, his expression changed.

"Look at it!"

"Zhao Shuang is hoarding a large amount of food and grass north of the river?"

Looking at the information, Chang Wenjun felt something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong.

By the way, it is the quantity!

"50 million stone?"

Mr. Changping shook his head.

"This is only the number on the bright side, and there may be more in the dark."

"Where did he get so much money?"

"In these years, relying on that trade route, plus the taxes in his territory and the industries in various places in Guanzhong. He can still afford the money."

"But even if he can pay, he can't transfer so much money in such a short period of time. Those people like Guo Kai, if they don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, will they let him pay for nothing?"

"This is the problem." Changping Jun looked serious, "Why does he want to do this? Qin Yan negotiated peace, and there will be no war in the north of the river for at least five years. What does he need so much food? Is it just to ask for food?" After making political achievements, I will return to Xianyang in the future, so that I can rise to a high position?"

As Chang Wenjun listened, the smile on his face gradually returned to calm, and then he felt a sense of heaviness.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he looked at Mr. Changping with a guilty conscience.

"Could it be...Could it be that he...has..."

Changping-kun raised his hand and made a silent gesture.

"Not necessarily. Still, we have to be careful."

Saying that, Mr. Changping put down the bamboo slips in his hand.

"This matter must be strict. No matter whether it succeeds or fails in the end, no one can find out that it has a relationship with us."

Chang Wenjun nodded.

"Whether it's the snare net or the secret shadow guard, the power is getting stronger and stronger. But they can't find us for the time being."

Mr. Changping's chest rose and fell, and he exhaled a foul breath.

"If it fails, then the Azure Dragon Project must be activated."

Chang Wenjun was a little worried.

"Will Yandan betray us?"

Mr. Changping didn't care, and said leisurely.

"If it succeeds, then it doesn't matter whether he betrays or not; if it fails, then he will still stand with us."
