"Your Majesty, in the past two months, the grain transported by merchants to Chang'an has dropped by about [-]% compared to before, and the price has almost doubled. It is said that someone has already offered a price of twenty copper coins per stone."

Duan Jiefu knelt on the ground, hardly daring to look at Liu Yuanhai's face, because he knew it must be ugly.

Liu Yuanhai's expression changed continuously, and it took a long time before he controlled himself and asked, "How much grain is there in the national stockpile?"

"A little over 18 shi..."

"In other words, it's only enough to feed my 20 troops for more than a hundred days?" Liu Yuanhai roughly calculated, and then asked: "How about going to Yizhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou and other places to buy food?"

"Originally, these forces were a little moved, but since the fire in Yanzhou, these people have become timid and dare not fight against Liaodong..."

As we all know, Chu Wenhe, the governor of Liaodong County, is a master of mobilization, the most scheming, broad-minded, not inferior to men, even after the puppet Yan was defeated and surrendered, he never killed a lot, and even treated the puppet Yan royal family well, not only delicious and delicious He made offerings and brought the prince Murong Feng by his side to teach him.

But the fire in Yanzhou produced a different Chu Wenhe—she is not a gentleman who can only fight fairly on the battlefield, but a scheming master who also understands conspiracy and uses conspiracy—maybe this time It was not Chu Wenhe himself who resorted to conspiracy, but Liaodong's move this time at least meant that Chu Wenhe did not reject conspiracy.

The battle on the battlefield is definitely not terrible, because the soldiers who die the most are low-level soldiers, and princes like them often have more choices. As long as they don't court death like Murong Yunji and Murong Zixu, most of them can continue to enjoy wealth and glory .

But conspiracies are different. It is easy to hide open guns, but difficult to guard against hidden arrows. Conspiracies are like hidden arrows. You never know where they will come from. It is hard to guard against and frightening.

"Don't these bastards just want to give this great mountain and river to a woman?" Liu Yuanhai asked himself and answered, "However, with the Huayi banner in Liaodong, these Central Plains princes really dare not act rashly."

The difference between Hua and barbarians is greater than the dispute between men and women. Therefore, many separatist forces can only watch Liaodong grow stronger, and ordinary people don't think about it at all. Whoever gives them a good life will sing praises to whoever they are. Is it father or mother.

"Is there any other way to alleviate food consumption?" Liu Yuanhai asked.

"Yes..." Duan Jie hesitated, "But this method will cause endless troubles..."

"Let me explain the method first, let me put it aside for now." Liu Yuanhai stopped and said, "Now is not the time to be particular about it."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Duan Jie said: "I heard that many wine merchants in the seven counties of Sili are selling all kinds of fruit wine. The price of this kind of fruit wine is extremely low. It's not too intoxicating, even ordinary people drink three or five large bowls, and it doesn't affect their performance. I have tried it myself, a bowl of fruit wine is paired with a small piece of Qingzhou dried salted fish or salted radish, and a couple of chestnut rice porridge You can fill your stomach and make it through a meal.”

Duan Jie, Chuning and Bai Su are old rivals. He once checked on Chuning's old background and knew how hard it was for her to start from scratch--Chuning used to cook radish or wild vegetable clear soup for the soldiers when food was not enough to save food. .Duan Jie originally wanted to do so, but since the Liaodong Army took Bingzhou, Xiao Hongfei has been guarding Shangdang County. The supply is not enough for the consumption of the seven counties of the boss.

Because of this, the sales of Muyangcheng’s dried salted fish and Qingzhou salted radish in Sili have been very good, almost replacing the market demand for a large amount of salt, and they can be used for meat, vegetables, and soup. Can be used as food hoarding.

"The most important thing is that the prices of dried salted fish and dried radish have not increased, and they are five to eight times cheaper than food..." Duan Jie finished his thoughts one by one, and then said: "But the more troublesome ones are Yes, fruit wine is easy to become addicted if you drink it for a long time..."

"As far as the current situation is concerned, how can you care so much?" Liu Yuanhai sighed: "Just follow Aiqing's way of handling things. After this year, when the winter wheat is harvested in May and June next year, life will be easier."

……

While Liu Yuanhai was settling accounts with Duan Jie and his ministers, Bai Su was also settling accounts with all the capable deacons under his command.

Bai Dao: "We have already supported many Xiongnu merchants in the seven counties of Sili. Under the pressure of food supply, Zhao Ting of the Huns is hoarding a large amount of dried salted radishes, dried salted fish... and other things that are easy to store."

Bai Su thought for a while and asked, "How is the sales of fruit wine?"

"Fruit wine is selling very well!" Bai laughed and said, "Xiongnu Zhao Ting's army can't help drinking, and ordinary soldiers can't afford baijiu from heaven and earth. Although fruit wine is not strong enough, you can still get drunk after drinking a few more bowls. It's just right for you."

"Is the fruit wine accumulated in Liangzhou these years still enough to sell?" Bai Su looked through the account book and found that in the past two months, an average of tens of thousands of cylinders of [-]-jin bottles of wine have been sold in the seven counties of Sili every month. Big jar of fruit wine.

"Enough!" Bai Dao: "This is the account book brought by Mr. Huo. It is said that the monthly sales volume has doubled, and the fruit wine saved in Bingzhou these years is enough to sell for two or three years."

There are many kinds of fruit wine, such as loquat, red bayberry, cherry grape, jujube, mulberry and other fruits, no matter wild or home-grown, can be picked to make wine. The brewing process is simple and the brewing cost is low. Just add some glycerin unique to Liaodong The taste is bitter, and the market is wide, much more than the liquor in the sky and on earth.

After Bai Da left, Bai Er came here in disguise, avoiding many eyes and ears.In fact, his surname is not Bai, but Du. He is the son of Du Guanshi under Bai Su's command, and he is the first group of people who followed Bai Su.

Compared to Bai Da and the others, Du Er, like Bai Qingye, is a dark chess game played by Bai Su. Then he stayed in Chang'an all the time, taking charge of Qianjin Terrace for Bai Su.

"See Patriarch." After paying his respects, Du Er followed Bai Su's instructions and sat down on the Hu chair a few steps away.

Bai Su cut to the chase and said, "Qianjintai's business seems to have declined a lot recently?"

"Yes, most of the aristocratic families in Chang'an have been murdered by the puppet Zhao in the past few years, and ordinary people don't have much money to gamble..."

"Well, I understand that." Bai Su took out Qianjintai's account book, looked at it and said, "The lottery business is well done."

Since Li Rui left Chang'an, the lottery was transferred to Qianjintai and handed over to Du Er, who was also a real person. Not only did he sell lottery tickets to a large number of people, even the Xiongnu army developed Many lottery fans.

"Thank you, Patriarch, for your appreciation...this is what the subordinates should do!" Bai Su rarely praised others, but Du Er blushed with excitement when Bai Su praised him like this, and stammered: "This subordinate has been working with puppet people recently. Several generals of Zhao contacted, if they can get through the joints, they can bring more fake Zhao soldiers to buy lottery tickets..."

These generals have at least thousands of people and as many as ten thousand people. If they can be recruited and each of them buys three or five cards, how amazing is the profit?

Moreover, lottery tickets are different from wine, just like the puppet Yan back then, because Murong Yunji was proficient in the military art of the Central Plains, and knew that alcohol is easy to become addicted and damage the strength of the Yan army, so he made a heavy law to prohibit the soldiers from drinking alcohol, and ruled Bai Su The plan to erode the Yan army's combat power with wine can only slightly restrain the Yan army by manipulating food prices.

Alcohol is easy to become addicted to, but as long as one can make up his mind, most people can quit, but the lottery ticket is different-although the lottery ticket is cheap, but it is more fascinating, because everyone knows that drinking too much will only cause trouble , but the lottery will always shape the myth of the common people, will always bring countless hopes to the world, and will always make you want to stop...

Therefore, lottery tickets have been extremely popular since their launch, and they have lasted for a long time. Not only the people in several states under the Liaodong regime bought them themselves, but the people under the separatist forces in other states were also very crazy.About a year ago, the leader of a small faction in Yuzhou was thrown down by his own soldiers because he forbade his soldiers to buy lottery tickets.

Bai Su still remembers that when Chu Ning heard the news, he wrote to her saying that he had discovered a new usage of the lottery, and nicknamed the lottery an "IQ tax". Many lottery research books - such as "The Birth of a Millionaire", "The Trick to Catch the First Prize", "The Secret of the No. [-] Winner"...

These research books were reprinted one after another, and the supply was in short supply. Not only did the engraving workshop under Bai Su make a lot of money, but Chuning himself made a lot of money, which made the old man Nan Shouren extremely jealous.

Naturally, Nan Shouren was not jealous of Chuning's money, but that Chuning's books sold more than him. After studying Chuning's bibliography repeatedly, Nan Shouren also wrote many best-selling books—such as "Book of Changes and the Secret of the Lottery "," "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic"...

Of course, there is still a difference between Nan Shouren and Chuning. He doesn't really teach people how to buy lottery tickets, but uses the title of the book to gain popularity.

Because of this, when historians of later generations studied this period of history, they were surprised to find that the emergence of lottery tickets not only united the hearts of the people to a certain extent, but also improved the computing power and knowledge level of ordinary people.

Du Er thought that Bai Su praised him only because he sold a lot of lottery tickets, but he didn't know that Bai Su had been inspired by his actions, and a new plan was gradually formed in Bai Su's mind.
