Outside, everything seemed to stand still amid the constant chirping of cicadas.

In the room, the dust flew in a few rays of light, and the corners of the woman's mouth were hooked a few times on the woman's pale face, before a little reluctant smile appeared, "The governor has a heavy army, and the princes of one side will embarrass a woman...... Governor, what do you want your concubine to do......"

Gongsun took a sip of wine and put it down gently.

"As I said before, there is a shortage of grain in the north, and now I can't see it, and when the time is pushed back, when the winter government wants to prepare for the next year's conquest, it will hoard a lot of grain, and the price of grain in the city will rise every day, or even two or three times, and then the situation here will be very serious, you must be thinking in your heart, why choose to fight next year? So what to do in a hurry. ”

He looked at the woman and knocked on the table: "Yuan Shao is dead, leaving three sons, one is still young, one is reckless, and the last one has been abolished by me, if I don't hurry up and take these two states, Yuan Shao will be in vain." Speaking of this, Gongsun Zhi raised two fingers and shook it, "The grain, the two states must be done at the same time, the grain is up to you, find a way to fill the granary of Shanggu County, I will send someone to make it as convenient as possible for you, but before winter comes." ”

"This ..... a little embarrassing." Zhen Jiang frowned, but it was obviously impossible to refuse. Silver Tooth clenched for a moment, or nodded, "The concubine has never done such a thing, in the past, when the mother was still alive, although she had done some, but it had never involved a few counties, the governor wanted to hoard grain, and the price of grain would inevitably be raised, one year, Jizhou suffered a great drought, and there was no harvest in the fields, but fortunately, the government had rich grain, and the porridge of the families around the country held many lives, if the price of grain in the north was high, and there was no grain in the warehouse, the situation would be very serious..... the governor was taking his own foundation, and he was also playing with fire with the Zhen family. ”

Gongsun Zhi nodded: "I went to business together, that's why I came to you, but it doesn't take too much, the people of Shanggu County can eat enough, but what they need in the army is that they are all fighting people, and they naturally eat more..... right, it is best to squeeze out from the family and the group of people in the Central Plains." ”

"Let the concubine think about it....think about it....." Zhen Jiang bit his lower lip, frowned and walked in the light shining in, and came to the window lattice, pinching the corners of his clothes with his fingers and sweating a little, ".... What would her mother do if she was still ..... ..... her?"

You must know that hoarding grain on the one hand, while not letting the price of grain soar is a dead knot, once there is a food shortage, those families will take the opportunity to raise the price of grain to a very high price, after the people can't afford to eat, even the surrounding bark and grass roots can be eaten, and then it is not good to buy children and daughters, sell real estate, this is what the big clans really want.

Once such a situation occurs, the entire northern land will almost be completely chaotic, and grain will become a rarity, once the price of cattle tendon and animal skins in the northern land will be higher, the trade that has been operated for many years will collapse overnight, and the herdsmen on the grassland will make trouble if they lose money, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be even greater chaos under internal and external troubles.

Of course, these are the most serious consequences that may occur in Wang Lie, Bing Yuan and others, and naturally there are also preventive measures, it was originally a gamble, Gongsun Zhi will of course want to gamble on this, after all, now he has become a competitor with Cao Cao on the surface, and the grain and grass on the trade will definitely be reduced, and when there are conditions to send troops, it is estimated that the other party has already won the two states of Qingdao and Hebei, and the pressure will be even more terrible.

The room was quiet for a moment, and Gongsun Zhi got up and walked towards the woman: "The number will not be too big, the army under my command is not much, as long as there are enough 50,000 people, half a year's grain and grass, I can take the entire territory of Youzhou, and there will also be some grain and grass support in Liaodong, so now you have three months to do this." ”

Over there, Zhen Jiang looked at the sunlight outside the window lattice and thought for a long time, and suddenly said, "Ah! He turned around, and his voice was a little sharp: "The concubine thought of it..... thought of a way....." Perhaps realizing his identity, his words gradually became smaller again, and he whispered: "The Zhen family will transport a batch of grain first, and join forces with the businessmen who are friendly to the governor here, and use a blind method...... Grain comes in during the day, quietly goes out at night, and returns to the city during the day......"

Gongsun stopped walking, and his eyes lit up slightly: "This is not bad, it's a bit of a secret from the world and the sea, secretly crossing Chen Cang...... You go on, if it is feasible, I will ask Li Ru and others to cooperate with you. ”

"....After the concubine went back, she persuaded the businessmen who had made good friends to prepare a batch of grain and grass, and secretly came to Juyong Pass, and came to Shanggu County with great fanfare, making it for the eyes of the family, and when she entered the official warehouse, she smuggled it out late at night, and continued to do so the next day." Zhen Jiang racked her brains and frowned in contemplation, her teeth bit her nails lightly, she forgot her nervousness for a while, she walked back and forth in front of Gongsun Zhi: "It's to deceive them, the government has a lot of surplus grain, and when the governor eats a lot of foreign grain, the grain price in the city will not rise indiscriminately. ”

Gongsun Zhi frowned and was silent for a while: "Under such a contrast, the price of grain has collapsed, and merchants will not bring grain and grass to trade in the future, because it is worthless." ”

"So the governor can only take the opportunity to eat the amount he wants in one go, and then raise the price of grain little by little, ensuring the interests of a group of merchants, and ruthlessly pit those families, maybe he can even pit Cao Cao." Zhen Jiang raised his chin when he said that he was happy, and his eyes were quite bright, "The best premise of ...... is that you must release the signal that the governor is going to go on an expedition and needs grain and grass, and then the concubine and the other merchants who are united will spend a month or two months to perform this play, and the merchants will pursue profits, so that naturally there will be many people who can't sit still, and when the time comes, they will send grain to the governor." ”

"When the .....time comes, when the time comes, the price of grain will not rise but fall, and a large amount of grain will be piled up on the way or in Shanggu County, and the tears of those people will fall back and forth, and if it encounters the autumn rain again, it can only be sold cheaply."

Gongsun Zhi smiled slightly, this time the stone in his heart finally loosened, "Although I don't know what the effect is, I finally have the bottom in my heart, the detailed plan, I will let Li Ru and others scrutinize and improve, as for your Zhen family has been in business for a long time, the business network is smooth, the following things are handled by you, I will explain the situation to General Shan in Juyongguan, so that your home can be unimpeded." That's the way it is, I have asked people to take Zhen Mi to wait in the side, you go over to meet, catch up on the old days, and then set off to go back, half a month later, I want to have news that your food team is on the road. ”

"...... Governor ..... my sister she....Isn't she in Jizhou?" The woman was stunned, and before she could speak, Gongsun Zhi, who was opposite, put a finger between her lips, "Shh!" With a smile on his face, he waved his hand: "Some things can only be brought with eyes and ears, not with mouth, see it, hear it, don't say it......"
