The fluctuation of food prices in one place is related to the livelihood of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people, and the stability of the place is a risk of gambling for Shanggu County, which has just established its foundation.

In the room, there was a secret conversation for a while, and Zhen Jiang left to meet Zhen Mi in a side room not far away under the guidance of the guards. Gongsun Zhi did not leave this room, and when the door was closed again, he took out the folded plain silk, a total of two, one is the beginning and end of Shuofang County's Taishou Chen Yan, now the Central Plains and the north are chaotic, and the control of the imperial court is weaker than that of Emperor Ling, and Gongsun Zhi strictly speaking, he is already a well-deserved king in the border area, and the other party will detain the envoy team and send someone to inquire, which is already to indicate a certain position.

As for the second one, it is made of sheepskin, which is soaked with the sour smell of sweat, which should be carried closely, and Gongsun Zhi did not dislike it, after all, when he was a horse thief, he often did not take a bath for a month or two. After reading the contents of the plain silk, the sheepskin was spread out, and it was covered with neat handwriting.

"...... wielding a scimitar and galloping the steppe, please forgive Stephanie for not being able to write the format of the Cyrius letter, I believe you will not care too much, after that night, it has been several years since Gerald and I left the East, and when this letter reaches you, almost another year has passed, may the gods of the Germanic people bless this team to convey the news from afar to you, of course, the contents will also bring you a lot of confusion and trouble...... Yes, on the way back I gave birth to a boy, a man with blond hair and black eyes, he was strong and beautiful, and the cry of his arrival frightened the goshawks in the sky, and the beasts of the forest fled in fear....."

When Gongsun Zhi saw this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth hooked, "It's too much of a boast...."

"...... little guy is very curious and not worried about coming to this cruel world, so I call him Dietma, who will be a man of prestige in the future, leading the Germans to stand on this land again and resist the invasion and exploitation of the murderous Romans."

Now that we have built a fortress on the edge of the Roman province, the name of the place will not be mentioned, and the wise wolf king will not care about this, perhaps, when he looks to the west in his leisure time, he will remember that there is another heir who is struggling desperately under the threat of the ferocious and brutal Romans, and at that time, I beg you to open a wolf kiss to this side, and help him to survive, and Dietma also has the blood of the Cylius in his body. ”

The final inscription is Stephanie's name written in Chinese characters.

The lights on the desk flickered, Gongsun Zhi read the letter again, lit it on the flame and threw it to the ground, the content of the letter was very simple, but this woman was very smart, she never said her own current situation, nor did she express her thoughts, perhaps it was clear that Gongsun Zhi had no feelings for her, so he focused on the question of the boy named Dittma, in order to impress the delicate emotions of the Oriental people who value family affection and blood.

"This woman ......"

The tall figure leaned against the back chair, turned his head and looked at the flames on the ground slowly extinguished, the green smoke shook suddenly, the door was pushed open, and it was Li Ru who came in, and there was another person behind him, with luxurious colored satin, but when he came in, the person bowed his head and bowed down, extremely deferential.

"Grass people, Su Zhan has seen the governor."

Gongsun Zhi nodded, and asked the other party to sit down next to him, he knew that this person, a few years ago, through the assassin in the mansion, was the most miserable by Li Ru, at that time, almost the whole family was imprisoned, and the family property was confiscated, to the point that there was no even a hanging belt. Later, after the ups and downs, Su Zhan used his connections and the power of Li Confucian's official mansion to rectify the wealthy families of all sizes in the north, which allowed Gongsun to stop the expedition and have no worries.

"I called you here today, I already know what to do, right?" Gongsun Zhi poured the wine, handed it to Li Ru, and looked at Su Zhan, who was in good health over there, "The news must be released accurately, far away, it is best to get it to the Central Plains, so that they all think it is true." ”

"The grass people must do a good job of this, and they will reassure the governor."

Su Zhan, who spoke, has gained a lot of weight over the years, partly because of the government's support for him, and partly because of the northland trade, how much he has been touched, if there is a big problem here, the whole situation will return to the way it was a few years ago, and he is used to the comfortable days now, so he is naturally reluctant to go back to the past.

Whoop –

Gongsun Zhi pinched the long spoon and poured the wine into the mouth, pinched the little ear and handed it to the air, the latter quickly got up and came over, bowed forward, took it with both hands, and heard the majestic voice on the big chair: "Drink this wine, I will treat you as my own." ”

"Yes!" Su Zhan's face was excited, he raised his head and drank the wine in one sip, and then sat down again, and then Gongsun Zhi laid out the plan that Zhen Jiang said, and the three of them cleared the context and revised some details.

The sun gradually turned west, the plan was agreed, Su Zhan also bowed down in the afternoon and went back to prepare, Gongsun Zhi stood in front of the window lattice with his hands on his shoulders, looked at the end of the field of vision, the figure leaving from under the eaves, and said only one word to Li Ru: "If it doesn't work out, push him away." ”

After a few more days, the excitement and joy of Yuan Shao's defeat gradually subsided, and at this time, Shanggu County was the largest trading place in the north, and there was a lot of capital to talk about from the south to the north, and soon it turned to other directions. On the other hand, the flow of people in the city liquor stores and the trade areas outside the city is complicated, and the cross-transmission of information is particularly sensitive.

At the end of the month, a small adjustment of the tax amount of cattle and sheep trading, as for the increase or fall, for the businessmen is the most concerned issue, many people flocked into the official office, or find familiar officials to inquire about the news, the northern merchants set up a business house at this time also asked to take the lead to negotiate, climb the relationship to probe, Bing Yuan naturally will not say too much, at most reveal a little bit of this news is really the tone, as for the rest of the nothing.

Under the torment of not getting detailed information, the time entered October, and when the hottest days of autumn were scorching everyone, there was news from the mouth of a wealthy gentleman to say another shocking news, on the ninth day of the first month of October, on the side of Juyongguan, the Zhen family and the Wang family in Jizhou united several caravans to transport thirty carts to this side.

"It is said that the traces of the car run over are very deep......"

Because the matter of the adjustment of the livestock trade was unresolved, the merchants who were stranded in the city gathered in the wine shop to exchange their information, and at this time someone told the latest rumors, which attracted the eyes of many people, and a voice echoed: "The elder brother said yes, such a deep car scar can only be grain." ”

"What if it's a stone?"

Everyone laughed, and the person who spoke before slapped the table and shouted: "Dare to fool the governor in Shanggu County, I'm afraid that the family has lived enough, not to mention that in the name of the Zhen family, it shouldn't be fake." ”

"You say, could it have something to do with the recent tax incident?" Someone thought for a moment, "If the tax is lowered and a large amount of grain comes in, you say that our governor is afraid that he will stock up on grain?" ”

"On such a scale, to go to war?"

"Quiet, and haven't won the ....... yet"

In your speculation, most of the liquor shops in the city actually have such a statement, and even have faintly formed a mainstream agreement, lowering the tax on livestock trading is equivalent to more grain exchange than in the past, and only in this case can the phenomenon of grain hoarding occur.

Approaching, on October 17, a convoy full of grain appeared outside the city of Fuyang, and all speculations finally landed.
