After Xu Fei received the highest order from Li Jie, no matter how reluctant he was, he still chose to inform Ji Si. At the same time, the cavalrymen who went south to Chen State passed the news to Ru River and Ying River, and then went straight down the river to Huai River.
Palace of the Goddess.
In addition to the Huaishui Goddess Palace, Xincai, Huaizhong City, Xicheng and other cities also received orders one after another.
The highest directive within the Han bureaucracy is just one sentence: the whole country is a game of chess.
Specific to the publicity in various places, it is another matter.
For example, Bank of China Yun and others say, "No one can be as good as the Holy King while he is alive." In short, flattering the boss must be timely, but Bank of China Yun's flattery is very good, and it is very popular with the broad masses of people on both sides of the Huai River.
.
In addition to feeling glorious, the main reason is that Huaizhong City has the double guarantee of "IOU" from Mrs. Yinxiang and Lei Nan.
Mrs. Yinxiang used the future income of herself and her son as a guarantee to borrow grain from families with savings on both sides of the Huai River.
It was agreed that for every one hundred shi of grain, one hundred and five shi would be returned after two harvests.
A fair scale is used for measurement, and the "fairness and justice" that Baisha Village was famous for during the period was famous.
In terms of fair reputation in the market, Director Li may not be as tough as his wife Mei Dan, especially for wealthy businessmen who dare to take risks. Their motivation to make profits over long distances is stronger, but even the top wealthy businessmen
, if you encounter three or five setbacks, you have to change your appearance and remain anonymous.
The relatively fair environment in Baisha Village reduces too many additional risks beyond transportation. Even if the profit margin is a little lower, the total profit is extremely generous.
For example, now, Mrs. Yinxiang's agreement is to return one hundred and five stones of grain when it is due. The "IOU" also states that the quality of the returned grain is good, and there is an agreement on dry, wet and coarse essence. So for the international wealthy businessman who has mastered the grain,
For example, there is no need for them to cultivate tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of acres of land by themselves. This 5% income is the most stable.
Of course, this kind of operation means that when facing the Han State, it is replaced by a small country with no strength. When it is discovered that such a small country has a food crisis, the wealthy merchants will probably squeeze out the small country without any flesh and blood as soon as possible.
Only in the face of a superpower like Han, even if the international giants are willing to operate, as long as the rules are not in their hands, they can only obey.
Because the Han Dynasty can completely default on its debts. It can use Wu hooks, flying spears, and iron armor to default on its debts, and it can use crocodile men and brave men to default on its debts confidently.
What's more, this time when the Han Dynasty mobilized grain, it had its own huge grain reserves in operation. Mrs. Yinxiang's issue of the "IOU" was her personal move. Of course, there was a female official system in charge of the specific operation.
maintain.
This batch of grain stored in the international market or Han's domestic private sector is completely incompatible with the grain stored in the Han's treasury. The only overlap is that the transportation vehicles may conflict.
At the same time, when Mrs. Yinxiang opened the "IOU", the Huaishui Goddess Palace also announced that it would donate part of the food for winter disaster relief and spring farming.
It’s just that the Huaishui Goddess Palace needs additional ships, men, and horses to transport food, so this is an employment contract that suddenly appeared during the cat winter season.
And the scale is huge, and the profits are equally impressive.
For those local wealthy businessmen who already supported more than 10,000 slaves, the Huaishui Goddess Palace had to transport food at this time, which was a sudden subsidy for them.
Not only does it support tens of thousands of slaves, but it also connects with the Huaishui Goddess Palace.
The most important point is that neither Mrs. Yinxiang nor the Huaishui Goddess Palace will offend either side, and both sides can make a fortune.
For the white-glove international businessmen of the great aristocracy, they do not care about the Han Dynasty's disaster relief, but the more the merrier if they invest in building good relationships behind Han Gong Li Jie.
Especially the Zi Che family of Qin State. Shortly after the strike between Qin and Jin, a large number of families who fled from Qin came to Zi Che family and pledged to join them.
Naturally, the Ziche family took them all in, but the purpose of these families who left Qin was not the Ziche family, but Princess Yeyue Yingying.
Regarding the Huaishui Goddess Palace, the people of Lao Qin are not without ideas. It is okay to bet that Her Royal Highness the Princess will be able to show off to others in the future.
As for the bet on whether Her Royal Highness the Princess can become the wife of Han Gong, she was ambitious when she first came here. She took the lead and pressed her head against the Huai River with her head pressed to the Huai River.
Next, the old Qin people said that they just wanted their wives and children to be on the kang, and nothing else.
The Han Dynasty's large-scale grain mobilization was for disaster relief. At first, all the cities in the Central Plains did not believe it. Coupled with the heavy snow and road closures, for cities that relied on land transportation, they were information islands in the world's disputes.
But no matter how cramped it is, no matter how difficult it is, the snowstorm will stop. Half a month after the snowstorm, Meishan and outside were covered in snow, but the city of Xinzheng not far away was quite shocking.
Especially for travelers from the Jin Kingdom in the Zheng Kingdom, it was quite incredible to face the summit after returning from the east.
"What you said...is true?"
"really!"
"Gentleman, what you said just now is true. Although the Han army is still chasing the Song Hou, in the middle of Surabaya, the sails are covering the sky and the boats are connected like dragons lying on the ice. Between Xuecheng and Fucheng
, there are 18 refugee camps, each of which can accommodate 10,000 people, for a total of 180,000 people."
"One hundred and eighty thousand!"
Shangguan, the traveler who came from the Jin Kingdom, looked unbelieving, "You know, what a number of 180,000 people! When our ancestors were hegemonic, there were 100,000 people, so we must recruit the talents of 100,000 people. All Han people are famous generals.
yeah?!"
"Gentleman!"
Seeing that the boss of the department did not believe it, the Jin traveler quickly bowed again and explained, "Gentleman! Everything we said is true, gentleman!"
"Absurd! 180,000 guardsmen were placed between Xue and Fu, and there were 230,000 Han troops in Jisi. In addition to the vastness of Fucheng, it is already a famous capital in the world. Isn't it a million people?!"
Spreading his hands, the red-faced Jin official drooled, "There are millions of people! The Han Dynasty consumed such a huge amount of grain for nothing, just to survive the winter?"
"Gentleman!"
"Gentleman!"
"Gentleman, what we say can be learned from heaven and earth!"
The Jin official was very excited. He took a deep breath and said, "If we have the food and fodder needed to feed millions of people, we can destroy Qiping Luyan and block the Northern Yan, and wait for the next year to fight Jin in Hanoi. Why not?"
"
"this……"
"What the gentleman said is indeed true, and I don't hide it from you. The generals of the Han army also plotted in this way. People like Sha Heng and Shah, as well as Wei Cao, Xu Fei and others, all tried to persuade the Duke of Han to explain.
Can……"
"But so what?!"
The eyes of the Jin official widened, "Is it possible that the king of Han just wants to enjoy the snow on Meishan Mountain and play with Donghu's daughter?"
"Yes!"
"..."
The old doctor of the Jin Dynasty broke his waist immediately.
Originally, he did not believe the bullshit information from his subordinates. However, given the current situation in the Han Dynasty, he must directly attack the Yellow River, force Jin to mobilize troops, and then have a decisive battle in the spring, directly overthrowing Jin's main field force in the plains.
.
But now?
Shit, the food is wasted and used to provide disaster relief and rescue people, and most of them are untouchables.
As for the monarch himself, he was having a great time playing with women in Meishan, not far north of Xinzheng.
"Gentleman, the Han Dynasty is hesitant to move forward. As far as our country is concerned, the time has come!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that the Jin official looked very complicated, and then he said: "Tomorrow, I want to go to Meishan to pay homage to Duke Han. I wonder if any of you are willing to go with me?"
As soon as this statement came out, several practitioners were stunned. What did the department boss mean? If we don't hurry up and take advantage of Han Guo's pretentiousness, we will seize the opportunity to develop, and then wait for work to work hard. What are we waiting for?
?
"What the gentleman means is..."
"In the old years, I heard the shocking words of the Duke of Han, and I only laughed at them. If what you say today is true, then the destiny of Han is in the Han Dynasty, and it is sincere and reasonable."
After saying this, the man said, "The king and his ministers in the country are alienated from each other, and the Han country is strong and powerful outside. At this time, it is time to find a way out."
