Chapter 519 Digging a Pit
The fluctuations in the food price in a place are related to the livelihoods of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people. The stability of the local area poses a risk of gamble for Shanggu County, which has just established its foundation.
After a while of secret talk in the room, Zhen Jiang left the side room led by the guards to go to the side room not far away to meet Zhen Mi. Gongsun Zhi did not leave the room. When the door closed again, he took out two folded silks, one of which was the beginning and end of the story of Chen Yan, the prefect of Shuofang County. Now in the Central Plains, the north is in chaos, and the court's control is even weaker than when Emperor Ling. Strictly speaking, Gongsun Zhi was already a well-deserved king in the border area. The other party detained the envoys and sent someone to ask for it, which was already a certain position.
As for the second picture, it is made of sheepskin, which is covered with sour smell of sweat. It should be carried close to you. Gongsun Zhi did not dislike it. After all, when he was a horse thief, he often didn't take a bath for a month or two. After reading the content on the plain silk, he spread the sheepskin and was full of neat handwriting.
"...Wave the scimitar and galloping across the grassland, please forgive Stephanie for not writing the format of the letters of the Selius. I believe you won't care too much. After that night, it has been several years since Gerald and I left the East. When this letter came to you, it has been almost another year. I hope that the Germanic gods can protect this team and convey the news from the distance to you. Of course, the contents in it will also bring you many confusions and troubles... Yes, on the way back, I gave birth to a man, a blond-haired and black-eyed man, who is very strong and beautiful. The crying of coming to the world flew away all the hawks in the sky, and the beasts in the forest fled in panic..."
Seeing this, Gongsun Zhi raised his eyebrows and curled the corners of his mouth, "I'm too praising..."
The eyes continued to look down: "... The little guy was very curious and was not worried about coming to this cruel world, so I called him Ditma, who could be a prestigious person in the future and lead the Germans to stand on this land again, resisting the invasion and exploitation of the brutal Romans.
Now we have built a city block next to the Roman province, so I won’t mention the place name. The wise wolf king will not care about these. Perhaps, when I look at the west in the future, I will remember that there is a descendant far away from the fierce and cruel Romans who are threatening to struggle desperately. At that time, I would like to ask you to kiss here and help him survive. Ditma also has the blood of the Selius in his body."
The final signature is Stephanie's Chinese-character writing name.
The lights on the desk were shaking, and Gongsun Zhi read the letter again, lit it on the flame and threw it on the ground. The content on the letter was very simple, but the woman was very smart. She never talked about her current situation from beginning to end, nor expressed her thoughts. Perhaps she knew that Gongsun Zhi had no feelings for her, so she focused on the problem of a boy named Ditma, in order to impress the delicate emotions of Easterners who value family affection and blood ties.
"This woman..."
The tall figure leaned against the back chair, turned his head and watched the flames on the ground slowly extinguish. Qingyan suddenly shook for a while, and someone pushed the door open. Li Ru came in, and there was another person behind him, with a luxurious robe and colorful satin. However, when he followed in, the person bowed his head and bowed, extremely respectful.
"Caomin, Su Zhan has met the governor."
Gongsun Zhi nodded and asked the other party to sit next to him. He knew that this person was a mansion. A few years ago, Li Ru blamed him for the most miserable punishment. At that time, almost the whole family was imprisoned and his family property was confiscated, which was so low that he did not even have a belt to hang. Later, after great ups and downs, Su Zhan used his connections and the power of Li Ru's government to rectify the wealthy families of all kinds in the north, which made Gongsun Zhi go to war without any worries.
"I've asked you to come here today. I already understand what to do, right?" Gongsun Zhi poured wine and handed it to Li Ru. He looked at Su Zhan who was getting fatter there. "The news must be released accurately and a little further. It is best to get it to the Central Plains so that they all think it is true."
"The grass-roots must do this, and I will ask the governor to rest assured."
Su Zhan, who spoke, has gained a lot of weight these years. Some of them are supported by the government, and the other part is the Northland trade. He has a lot of things to do. If there is a big problem here, the whole situation will be back to what he was a few years ago. If you are used to enjoying the comfortable days now, you will naturally not want to go back to the past.
Wow
Gongsun Zhi squeezed a long spoon and poured the wine into the cup, and handed it to the air with his little ears. The latter quickly got up, bowed his body and walked forward, took it with both hands, and heard the powerful voice on the big chair: "Drink this wine, I will treat you as my own."
"Yes!" Su Zhan's face was excited, and he raised his head and drank the wine, and then he sat back. After that, Gongsun Zhi put out the plan that Zhen Jiang said, and the three of them sorted out the context and modified some details. During this period, Zhen Jiang also came to say goodbye and left, with tears on his face. The two sisters probably cried.
The sun gradually turned west and the plan was decided. Su Zhan also left in the afternoon to prepare. Gongsun Zhi stood in front of the window frame with his hands in his arms, looked at the end of his vision, and said only one sentence to Li Ru: "If things fail, push him away."
A few days later, Shanggu County was excited about Yuan Shao's defeat, and its joy gradually subsided. At this time, Shanggu County was the largest trade place in the north, and there was a lot of capital to talk about it from south to north, so it soon turned to other directions. On the other hand, the city's wine shops and the trade areas outside the city were crowded with people, and information cross-dissemination was particularly sensitive.
On the end of the month, the tax amount of cattle and sheep transactions will be slightly adjusted. As for the increase or decrease, it is the most concerned issue for merchants. Many people have entered the government office or found familiar officials to find out the news. The business set up by merchants in the north also asked the leader to negotiate and explore the relationship. Naturally, Bing Yuan would not say too much. At most, he would reveal that this news is a real tone, and he would not talk about anything else.
With no detailed information, the time entered October, and the hottest days of autumn were burning everyone, there was news that a gentry said another amazing news. On the ninth day of October, the Zhen family and the Wang family in Jizhou jointly transported 30 large trucks to ship to this side.
"It is said that the traces of the shaft running through the car are very deep..."
Because the adjustment of livestock trade was still pending, the merchants stranded in the city gathered in the winery and exchanged their intelligence with each other. At this time, someone told the recent rumors, which attracted many people's attention and a voice echoed: "That brother said it was right. Such a deep mark on the car can only be food."
"What if it's a stone?"
The crowd burst into laughter, and the person who spoke before slapped the table and shouted: "I dare to fool the governor in Shanggu County, I am afraid that the family has lived enough, let alone the name of the Zhen family, it should not be fake."
"Do you think it's related to the recent tax money?" Someone thought for a moment, "If the tax money is reduced and a lot of food comes in, do you think our governor is going to stock up on food?"
"Want to fight at this scale?"
"You, and haven't taken it down yet..."
With your guesses, most of the wine shops in the city actually have this statement, and even have formed a vague mainstream recognition. The reduction of tax on livestock transactions means that more food is exchanged than in the past. Only in this case can the phenomenon of hoarding grain occur.
