The Great Explosion of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 149 The cunning fish was finally caught

I don’t know when it started, but rumors began to spread that a batch of grain would be shipped from Panyu, Jiaozhou, and then transported to the Yangtze River through Guiyang, then to Nanyang through Nanjun, and finally sold to Sizhou.

There are merchants from Panyu who spread the word that they saw a large amount of grain being shipped and so on.

Shi Hui used to quote to Shi Xie in the past, a commoner needed 100 catties of grain, but Shi Xie finally offered a price of two stones of grain for one person, this time he needed 50 people.Jiaozhou was originally short of people, and no matter how large the population was, it would be able to sustain it. Instead of being occupied by those Yue people and barbarians, it is better to recruit more refugees.

The key is that these recruited people can also reclaim farmland and cultivate it, and the food they grow is 5% more than the previous output.In the past, the fertile soil in Jiaozhou could produce 8 shi of grain per mu. Under the cultivation of this group of civilians, it can produce nearly [-] shi of grain.This is still the result of researching the technology of farmyard manure, not counting the recently developed technology of 'citing water conservancy'.

Not to mention that with the Quyuan plow, the speed of farming has increased a bit.

With a population of 50, calculated at 2 shi of grain each, that is 100 million shi of grain. It can be seen that in the first quarter of this year, Jiaozhou obviously ushered in a bumper harvest.However, based on the calculation of 62 catties per stone, it is only 31 tons of grain, which is nothing in modern times, but in this era, it is almost [-]% of the total grain harvested in Jiaozhou this year!
Of course, it is impossible to transport so much food in one go, and it will take a long time, and there are many unstable factors, so Nan Jiyun and Zhao Kuangyin were sent there because of this consideration.

In addition, it is estimated that Nan Jiyun and Zhao Kuangyin did not know that the news spread so quickly in the market, it was the result of Shi Hui's intention to spread it widely.For example, the concierge accidentally talked to the uncle of the third aunt’s seventh uncle’s second aunt’s cousin. Anyway, the news spread quickly, not only Changsha County, Nan County, Jiangxia County, but even Wuling and Guiyang County. Here comes the news.

No, as the news spread, a fast boat from Jiangxia County soon sailed into the water village of Jiangxia Navy.

"Master, I've checked it out. Sure enough, a large amount of grain is coming ashore in Linxiang. Later, it will be shipped to Dongting and Hubei. It is estimated that it will pass by us. It is said that besides grain, there are also many merchants from Jiaozhou who are buying rhino horns there. Big shellfish, tortoiseshell and other items are going to be sold in the north, this is a fat sheep!" The spies on the boat got off the boat, came to the commander's tent, and after a briefing, they came to a young man and told him Speak out what you see and hear.

"Idiot!" The general ignored the subordinate's greedy expression, "Such a large team, especially to be transported to Sizhou for sale, so how could there not be enough guards? If they can't be wiped out, then wouldn't they have exposed us? "

From very early on, he asked his subordinates to carefully step on the site, making sure that the opponent's backstage was not big, and the guards were not too many to attack, and the income was less, but the key was safety.After all, if he is an official bandit, if his identity is exposed, his reputation will be tainted.

Originally, he just planned to earn some pocket money and increase the actual combat ability of his subordinates by the way, so he didn't dare to take too many risks.

"Master, if it's just food, it's not enough for us to take such risks, but I heard that there is a batch of special products that will be shipped north in three days. Since we are acting alone, there are not many guards, only about [-] people..." The spy obviously also Knowing the young master's temper, he reported the most important news.

"The news is true?" The general stood up immediately, apparently in high spirits, and such a goal met his requirements.

"The news is true!" The spy nodded, his tone was very affirmative. For this reason, he took the risk to investigate and actually saw boxes of goods being transported up. During the process, a box was knocked over, and the rhino horns inside fell off. down.

These things, not to mention selling them directly, if you find some craftsmen and carve them, the price can at least double.The world is indeed in chaos today, but there are still many people who need luxury goods.

In addition, the most valuable thing is the medicinal materials from Jiaozhou.Whether it is a hundred thousand mountains or other deep mountains and old forests, the quality of medicinal materials is very good, especially those medicinal materials for stopping bleeding and healing wounds, which are not worrying about selling everywhere, and those warlords will prepare some.On the private side, the major families will also need it. Even if the price is not high, the quantity is large. The key is to triple the price easily once it is shipped to the north.

"Order the soldiers and horses, follow the old rules!" The general immediately issued an order, "Remember not to let my father know!"

"Here!" The spy nodded, but he was complaining in his heart: The young master has shot so many times, how could the servants in the army not report to the master?Besides, if the master didn't acquiesce, how would they dare to go out with the young master to do such a thing?
In the early morning of the next day, a small boat returned to Dongting Water Village, which is the military port of Shihui.

"My lord, that Huang She has been fooled!" Li Jun got off the boat and reported in front of Gan Ning.In terms of sailing and water skills, no one in the army can match him.In particular, he was clever, and he followed the spies sent by Huang She directly and easily.

Afterwards, they even sneaked into the vicinity of the water village. Seeing the movement inside, they naturally knew that the fish had already taken the bait.

"The military division's plan seems to be very successful!" Gan Ning smiled. They deliberately dropped a box of rhino horns during transportation, and the news seemed to have been known to the spies.

To deal with cunning fish, it is natural to need a sweet and delicious bait.Now the fish is about to bite the hook, and then there will be a fight between the more cunning fisherman and the fish.

"The thief is just greedy!" Li Yan smiled. This plan was the result of discussions between him and Fang Xuanling.At the same time, it happened that there was really a batch of grain to be transported here, and he just took the opportunity to add oil and vinegar.

As for the box of rhino horns, some can still be found by searching in the treasury.

"Boys, all are ready!" Gan Ning didn't talk nonsense, and immediately issued an order, and the whole army began to gather.

The fleet began to dispatch early in the morning, and the Yangtze River estuary was already seen in a short time.According to past information, the enemy has been dispatched here several times recently, taking advantage of the fact that the merchant ships are about to enter the Yangtze River, they suddenly rushed out when they were unprepared, and killed the caravan by surprise.

Immediately kill everyone, snatch all the goods, and flee immediately, not more than two quarters of an hour before and after.Because of this, it is difficult to know who did it, or where the thief went.

"Here we come!" Gan Ning was lying in ambush in the cabin, and Li Jun, who was disguised as a guard, sent someone to inform him.

Under the cover of early morning fog, a fleet quickly rushed towards this 'merchant ship'.When they saw the tall ship, Huang She, the leader, really had bright eyes.

This kind of ship is very large, very suitable for transporting a large amount of cargo, and is also very suitable for transformation into a warship.To deal with those walkers, hitting them directly can be effective immediately.Huang She felt that this time, not only did he want to kill and steal, but he also wanted to bring the ship back!
"Prepare the claws, get ready for the gang battle!" Huang She gave the order immediately, and naturally there were special messengers who waved the torches in their hands and signaled to the surrounding ships.In the mist, torches work better than banners.

"Master, those ships have spotted us! Wait a minute, they are heading towards us at full speed!" The spies looked at the other ship and soon realized that something was wrong.

"Damn it, we fell for it! These are not merchant ships, I'm afraid they are warships from Changsha County! Retreat, retreat!" After all, Huang She was a child of a family, and soon understood the situation, and immediately ordered to retreat.

　No matter what, at least it was driven out!Ask for collection, please recommend!
