For a whole year, Jiang Wan was busy day and night, spending a huge amount of money. As a temporary storage base, Jiangxia had piles of various materials. On the Yangtze River waterway, batches of cargo ships were still constantly transporting these things to Jiangxia.
Wu Guohua purchased silk fabrics, salt and iron, grain, vegetables and fruits, etc. at high prices.
When these things arrived in Jiangxia, they were distributed to shops in various places at normal prices and sold throughout the empire. The price difference was almost an astronomical figure. This kind of business has been going out every day for a year. No matter how rich the empire is, it cannot afford it.
Such trouble. As the person in charge of this incident, Jiang Wanmin thought hard and found no better way.
At this moment, Long Fei came to Jiangxia for inspection. Seeing Jiang Wan frowning, Long Fei looked at the hill-like material storage yard and said with a smile: "Isn't the money enough?"
Jiang Wan hurriedly knelt down and said, "Please forgive me for your Majesty's punishment. I have done something unfavorable and betrayed Your Majesty's trust."
Long Fei helped Jiang Wan up and pointed at the pile of materials: "I still know Gong Yan's talent. To put it bluntly, money is just scrap copper and iron. These are the real things. People will not die without money.
Food is doomed. If we have no money, how can we make money?"
Wang Wei smiled and said: "I have an idea!"
Long Fei glared at him: "As a deputy envoy, if you don't help the envoy, but now you ask for credit from me, should I be beaten?"
Wang Wei chuckled. It is impossible to say that he has no selfish motives. After working for the empire for so many years, Wang Wei purchased almost everything. Wang Wei was more familiar with the market than Jiang Wan. However, Long Fei said this
The matter was handed over to Jiang Wan, which made Wang Wei feel a little uncomfortable. Therefore, after arriving in Jiangxia, Wang Wei acted in both ways. Seeing Jiang Wan spending a lot of money but not receiving any money, Wang Wei took pleasure in his misfortune.
Long Fei looked at the two of them: "You are both the pillars of my empire. Although Gong Yan does not understand business, he knows my plan. The two of you working together is the original intention of appointing you. If there is intrigue, then I will see the fate of the empire."
It’s almost over, if you have any good ideas, just tell me, and I’ll treat it as if you’ve made up for it!”
"I say, I say!" Wang Wei told him his plan to sell antiques to the Kingdom of Wu. Long Fei and Jiang Wan thought it was good when they heard it. They bought grain, grass and weapons, and exchanged the worthless broken porcelain and tiles back to the Kingdom of Wu.
This way, you can not only get back more supplies, but also avoid falling into a situation where you have no money to spend.
Long Fei nodded: "This is also a good idea, but antiques are rare, and there will always be a day when they can't be sold. I have a better idea."
The Qinhuai River was quickly built in Wu State with the benefit of Long Fei, with joint funding from the government and merchants. No one had ever tried this kind of joint operation of restaurants, restaurants, inns and geishas.
. Let the ancients who had a boring spare time see what nightlife is. At the beginning of the establishment of the Qinhuai River, Xu Shu proposed a bold plan to arrange spies in these brothels. Long Fei agreed without thinking.
The original intention of the Qinhuai River was to allow the high-ranking officials and wealthy merchants of the Wu Kingdom to spend their money. These so-called upper-class people are the management of the country. A casual sentence between them may be a major secret. Secret agents will wander around carefully.
There will definitely be a lot of gains.
When Long Fei heard that Miss Qincao had captured Sun Quan's heart, he was surprised and surprised. He immediately asked someone to find out the details of Miss Qincao. If it was possible to recruit her for his own use, it would be a great good thing.
However, after Chen arrived and Meng Shuo searched for several months, they found nothing. This Qin Cao girl seemed to be the same as Long Fei, whose past was completely blank.
Long Fei began to wonder, could it be that this girl Qin Cao came from time and space like him, and the name Qin Cao was also very familiar, as if he had heard of it somewhere. If that was the case, this person was an extremely dangerous person.
, must be careful. Long Fei came to Guo Jia and Mu Shuang to discuss. Before he finished listening to Long Fei's words, Mu Shuang laughed.
"Brother, are you so sure that time travel is so easy?" Mu Shuang shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It was just a coincidence between you and me. I don't believe there are so many such coincidences in the world."
Guo Jia looked at the two of them and asked Mu Shuang, "Does the eldest princess know the origin of this girl?"
Mu Shuang nodded. Long Fei quickly said: "Isn't it sister you sent me here?"
"Brother is smart!" Mu Shuang smiled: "I have a lot of talents in Black Ice. This girl was originally prepared for eldest brother. However, many things are so strange. All calculations are in vain. Big brother still remembers the blacksmith family in Xuzhou.
His daughter? She was the object of Liu Bei's competition back then."
"A blacksmith?" Long Fei fell into deep thought and began to think over and over in his mind. Suddenly three words appeared in Long Fei's mind: "Mrs. Gan!"
"Yes, it's Mrs. Gan." Mu Shuang finished the topic: "We deliberately tried to get Mrs. Gan to join our eldest brother, and made a fake fight with Liu Bei. Mrs. Gan refused and joined the refugees of Guan Hai. However,
The eldest brother didn't seem to be interested in him. We tried many times, but unexpectedly, there were always mistakes and Mrs. Gan missed the eldest brother."
"Wait a minute..." Long Fei started to get confused: "Mrs. Gan was in her teens back then, but now she is almost thirty, and she still has such charm?"
Mu Shuang said: "Brother, don't move. The younger a woman is, the better. Even though she is a little older, under the maintenance of my black ice secret medicine, Mrs. Gan is still no different from a ten-year-old woman. However,
After so many years of life experience, her personality and temperament have changed a lot. If I were to see her now, I'm afraid..."
"So, this girl Qin Cao is one of ours?" Long Fei interrupted Mu Shuang to avoid embarrassment to everyone.
"Oh my God, Princess, you are hiding too deeply!" Guo Jia widened his eyes and shook his head repeatedly: "Fortunately, we are on the same front now, otherwise His Majesty would be the one who would be in trouble."
Mu Shuang did not hide anything, and told everything about Mrs. Gan and Miss Qincao. He also gave all the contact information to Xu Shu. This woman instantly changed from a spy of Hei Bing to a senior spy of the empire. She stayed with Sun Quan and was responsible for
The highest authority in Wu State launched a honey trap.
Because of the emergence of the Qinhuai River, Jiang Wan had a large amount of money in his hands. The money was constantly flowing in the Yangtze River. First, businessmen appointed by Jiang Wan purchased a large amount of materials from the black market of Wu State and transported them back to Jiangxia. The money flowed to the people of Wu State.
In his hands, he passed through the Qinhuai River and returned to Jiang Wan's hands. With this operation, there was still so much money, but Jiangxia's supplies continued to increase.
The outflow of a large amount of materials is not a good thing for this wealthy country. Prices began to fluctuate, starting with the materials that were seriously lost, and then other things also increased in price. Ordinary people in Wu State worked hard for a year, and in exchange for
They couldn't feed themselves with anything they had. Refugees began to appear. In poverty-stricken areas such as Kuaiji, people who couldn't survive went to the mountains to steal.
But the dignitaries were still silent in the gentle countryside of Qinhuai River, unaware of the seriousness of the situation. In Long Fei's words, Wu's money was beginning to depreciate. When the depreciation reaches a certain point, even those dignitaries would feel that life was
Difficulty, by then everything will be too late.
Naturally, the first thing to rise in price was grain. A large amount of grain that Wu State had hoarded for many years was lost. In order to make maximum profits on the black market, the owners of grain stores did not hesitate to repeatedly increase the purchase price of grain. As a result, the selling price naturally increased.
It has to be improved. Compared with 30 yuan for a bucket of grain a year ago, it has risen to 500 yuan for a bucket of grain a year later. The increase in the price of food has led to an increase in the price of daily necessities such as cloth. Living consumption has increased, and the labor force
The cost will naturally increase. People have found that the money is not enough.
"This is economic warfare!" Long Fei taught Jiang Wan, Wang Wei and other people responsible for the economic war against Wu in Jiangxia: "Grain robbery is actually the prototype of economic warfare, cutting off the other party's material supply and slowing down the enemy's attack.
, destroying the enemy's morale, and what we are now engaged in is a high-level economic war! Disrupting Wu's economy and paralyzing the entire country, when we attack, both their soldiers and people begin to dislike this country, and they will
Come into our arms!”
Everyone applauded. Long Fei smiled slightly: "Yes, you have done a good job, and you have already achieved results. Economic war is a protracted war. We need to continue our efforts to completely collapse the economy of Wu State. Can we successfully win Wu State and force
Its surrender is up to you!"
Ever since Miss Qin Cao entered the palace, Sun Quan had been staying with her all day long, not seeing anyone or caring about anything, just spending time with the beauty. Lu Su was worried, and he discussed with Zhang Zhao and others. Zhang Zhao
The answer was still the same, wait and see. More than half a year passed, and Sun Quan had not seen anyone for half a year. Zhang Zhao, Xue Zong, Bu Lu and others were also anxious. After discussing with Lu Su, they decided to break into the palace
.
Breaking into the palace is a capital crime. Breaking into the palace without the emperor's permission is undoubtedly a rebellion. However, these people are all veterans of the Wu Kingdom, and the palace gate guards dare not stop them. When they came to Fenglai Tower, they could only hear the music of the piano in the building, like sounds from outside the world.
Several people knelt outside the door and shouted to Sun Quan. Sun Quan, who was in high spirits, suddenly heard such a loud shout and felt unhappy.
Qin Cao quickly stopped the sound of the piano: "Your Majesty!"
Sun Quan frowned: "These people dare to break into the Forbidden Palace without permission. Come on, capture them!"
The guards did not dare to take action. The regular attendant on the side said quickly: "Your Majesty, downstairs are Grand Tutor Zhang Zhao, Situ Xue Zong, Grand Governor Lu Su and Shangshu Ling Bulu!"
"So what if it's them?" Sun Quan glared at Chang Shi: "Is it possible that they are not my ministers? Take them down quickly!"
Sun Quan was furious, and no one dared to say anything. Chang Shi quickly ordered the soldiers to capture the four men and wait outside the palace. The sound of the piano sounded again upstairs, which was more pleasant than before.
