Quan Yutianxia GL

Different from Gu Wenxiong's carefulness of keeping the door to himself, after Bai Su avoided Gu Wenxiong, he was in charge of the board as usual the next day. After she cleared up the business affairs at hand, the preliminaries of the gambling game had begun.

Li Rui was in charge of the gambling, and Bai Su didn't directly intervene in the rest of the matter, but sent a deacon to help. As for herself, she went to the arena to inspect the game every day and then let it go.

After today's tour, Bai Su left the football team, polo team and horse riders at the arena, and returned to the heaven and earth with his entourage.

He had just entered the door, and before he had time to take off his cloak, he saw two stewards from other places waiting in the guest room.

"Fang Rong has met the master!"

"Jin Zhongyi has met the master!"

Bai Su accepted this gift, handed the cloak to Bai Qingmo, then stopped and signaled them to sit down, and asked straight to the point: "Guard Fang, Guanshi Jin, how is the situation of Chen Jun and Hedong Jun?"

"Chen County's autumn harvest is over, but this year is not considered a good year." Jin Guanshi said: "After the people pay the autumn tax, they will keep the next year's grain... When the harvest is not harvested next year, I am afraid that life will be a little sad."

"The situation in Hedong County is probably the same." Fang Guanshi said: "According to the master's order, the servants found some merchants to take advantage of the autumn harvest, and harvested about [-]-[-]% of the grain and shipped it to Liaodong."

"We took about [-]% of the food in Chenjun." Jin Guanshi said: "The Yuan family took at least [-]%."

"To make wine this year, the Yuan family not only bought grain from Chen County." Fang Guanshi said, "Even the local grain in Hedong, at least [-]% fell into their hands."

Hearing this, Bai Su nodded slightly, and asked again: "How is Yuan's Sangluo Winery?"

"The current Sangluo Winery is more than five times larger than it was at the beginning of the year." Fang Guanshi said: "There are more than 2000 wine workers and handymen."

After inquiring about the situation in these two counties, he ordered the two stewards to receive the rewards, while Bai Su opened the map he brought, and took a closer look at the two counties of Chenjun and Hedong.

Both Chen County and Hedong County are large grain-producing counties. The Yuan family has hoarded tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land in these two counties. Coupled with the grain wine shop in his hand, its strength is enough to affect the grain prices of these two counties.

This year, not only Yuan's harvested grain to make wine, but Bai Su also had a hand in it. Now the price of grain in these two counties has at least tripled. In previous years, the price of tens of hundreds of cash has risen to nearly [-] cash now.

In order to deal with the Yuan family, Bai Su not only purchased a large amount of grain from Chen Jun and Hedong counties, but also made arrangements for other major grain-producing counties—Bai Su was not afraid of collecting too much grain and accumulating costs. During the year, we still need to purchase food from other places to maintain normal consumption. Now we are hoarding some food in hand for emergencies. The timing is just right.

Therefore, hoarding food is only the first step for Bai Su to deal with Yuan.

The second step is to continue to increase the purchase of Sangluo wine, forcing Yuan to continue to expand the brewing workshop before proceeding to the third step.

After the preliminaries of the gambling game, Yuan's received several orders for Sang Luojiu in a row, which together exceeded Wantan. Therefore, Yuan Xin had to take the time to call a group of stewards under him to discuss countermeasures.

"These orders are all required to be handed over before the New Year's Eve, and they are said to be in time for the New Year's Eve sales..."

"But now that the food prices in Chenjun and Hedong counties have risen, if we set wine at the previous price, my Yuan family's profit will drop a lot..."

"Can this door-to-door order be rejected? Can this door-to-door money be earned?"

"Fifth Young Master, another order for [-] altars has arrived. The steward is from another place and is waiting for the result outside..."

……

While listening to the discussion of the stewards, Yuan Xin read the wine order contracts in hand one by one, and asked at the end of the day: "How much grain is left in my Yuan's warehouse account?"

The warehouse steward waiting at the side immediately opened the account book and replied, "It's less than three thousand shi."

"The grain in the warehouse cannot be transported." Yuan Xin looked at the steward in charge of buying grain and asked, "Where's the grain in the neighboring county?"

"I also collected some grain from neighboring counties." The steward saluted, "But most of them were transported to Liaodong and Liaoxi counties by large and small grain merchants."

Last year, Youzhou suffered a terrible military disaster, and most of the state was looted, especially Liaoxi and Liaodong counties. Not only were the population and food plundered, but last year, two seasons of farming were delayed. This year, there is even a shortage of food. Shou Guang spread money and bought food from other places for support.

Hearing this, Yuan Xin put down the contract in his hand, frowned and said, "Can't we buy the grain that is going to Youzhou from those grain merchants at a high price?"

"Fifth son, we can't afford the price of grain in Liaodong. Even if we buy it and brew it into wine, it won't be profitable except for other expenses..."

"Liaodong and Liaoxi...these bastards!" Yuan Xin was furious, slapped the table and asked, "Where is Jizhou?"

Jizhou is a plain area, and it was also a big grain-producing state in previous years.

"In Jizhou, last year not only was the blood-clothed god sect rioting, but Xianbei cavalry were also raging everywhere." Seeing Yuan Xin's angry face, the steward couldn't help wiping the cold sweat off his face, and said truthfully: "Later, a group of Taoist priests came out from nowhere. , claiming to be the Quanzhen Sect, and every now and then, they will have a 'discussion' with the Blood Clothes Sect..."

"..."

Although he was born in Chang'an and grew up in Chang'an, Yuan Xin also knew what the manager meant by "discussing the Tao", so he couldn't help sighing: "Forget it, I'll find a way to borrow some food from the Zheng and Liang families. Next year, we will repay after harvesting new grain.”

Within a few days, Yuan Xin found more than a dozen aristocratic families, big and small, and borrowed grain, which was as much as tens of thousands of shi.With food, Yuan's distillery expanded further, to more than [-] people.

At the same time, the preliminaries of the gambling game have ended, and the venues for the knockout rounds and finals have been built, and they are preparing to start the competition on another day.

Just when the wind and clouds were surging in Chang'an City, the emperor officially appointed the fifth prince, Li Zhan, as Yantie's prime minister, and took over the official management of Yantie.Li Zhan first selected a group of people from the royal family and formed a royal business group, responsible for purchasing official salt from salt officials in salt-producing counties, and then transporting it to various places for sale. The state treasury took [-]% of the profits. Business groups get [-]%.

The news that Li Zhan took over Yan Tiecheng and formed the Royal Salt Merchant Group was quickly sent back to Liaodong by the Department of Foreign Affairs. When Chuning received the news, he was directing several craftsmen in the Ironware Workshop of the Craftsman Division to weave barbed wire .

The new land reclaimed last year has been planted for a season this year. Although manure is buried and water conservancy is available, the harvest is not satisfactory.

Talao Xianzun sat in a wheelchair and was pushed and followed beside Chuning, muttering: "My lord, these grains are all spoiled by birds and wild animals. If you don't send people to hunt and kill wild animals, But weaving iron nets here... Could it be that they want to surround the whole area?"

"That's right." Chu Ning ordered people to erect the woven barbed wire, and said, "Birds can be chased away by people, but it is not easy for beasts hiding in the bushes. We hunted them at the beginning of the year. Now it's wild wolves and rabbits running all over the mountain..."

"But iron nets surround it...it takes a lot of iron?"

Thinking that such a large area of ​​land would have to be surrounded by a circle, Ta Lao County Venerable began to feel worried. He also broke his heart when he met such an envoy who spent so much money.

"Use it first, and when you don't need it later, you can take it back and forge it again."

"I'm just afraid, if you surround it, you won't be able to tear it down." Ta Lao County Venerable sighed, "Nowadays, there are a lot of people in and out of the city, if one person tries to twist his head... how can the iron net be pulled back? "

While the two were talking, Yan Lingge was brought over by the guards.

"Report to the envoy." After saluting, Yan Lingge handed over several rosters: "The recruits recruited this year have completed their training, and this is the roster after the assessment."

"Okay!" Chuning took the roster and flipped through it, then handed it to Liang Chunhua, and asked, "How is the battle plan for Black Bone City going?"

Hearing this, Yan Lingge glanced at Ta Lao Xian Zun, and after Ta Lao County Zun asked to resign and left, he said: "It's not going well."

Chuning took Yan Lingge to the open space next to him, and asked, "Why?"

"The Military Intelligence Department has sent back news that there are about 2 people in Black Bone City and more than [-] troops stationed there. More importantly, Dajiayuan Taiyou, who was sent by Goguryeo to garrison, is quite popular. At a critical moment, he Maybe we can mobilize the people of the whole city to help them defend to the death."

"Siege of the city is harder than defense. If all the people in Black Bone City are soldiers, we will not be able to defeat it with only our troops." Chu Ning spread his hands: "However, don't be discouraged, there will always be a way. "

Yan Lingge nodded, then pointed to the pieces of barbed wire that were being spliced ​​together and asked, "What is the use of this thing?"

"The harvest in Xindi this year is not good. Talao County Venerable complains to me every day, saying that there are too many beasts in the grass on the mountain, which gnawed all the grain seedlings..."

However, Yan Lingge didn't pay attention to what Chuning said, instead he drew out his sword and drew a line under his feet, and then he walked and measured his steps while chanting: "Xianbei and Goguryeo Shaonu are good at bows, the range of bow and arrow is [-] It is difficult to break through our army's iron armor from ten steps away, and our army has many crossbows with a range of more than two hundred steps. Barbed wire..."

While speaking, Yan Lingge had already walked in front of the iron net, drew his sword and chopped it off with a single blow. The iron wire was more densely woven, and after she cut off several strands one after another, the sword in her hand was bounced away.

"Scrap damage." Yan Lingge looked at the wound on the blade, and said to Chuning: "If the wire can be thicker, the gap left in the middle will be wider, so that crossbows and arrows can pass through it. Pass……"

"You can also add some barbs to the barbed wire!"

Chu Ning's eyes lit up, and he remembered the famous World War I in his previous life—the barbed wire fence combined with the infantry's long-range firepower, wherever he went, people blocked and slaughtered people!God blocks and kills God!

It is said that the reason why tanks were invented is because of the super god existence of barbed wire!

The two looked at each other, and Chu Ning immediately asked the blacksmith to add barbs to the barbed wire, while Yan Lingge went to the camp and dispatched two teams to test the actual combat effect.

The author has something to say: I'm sorry, I've been very busy these days! ! !

Something happened at work, and I had to work several overnight shifts one after another...
