Chapter Twenty-Six: The Rise of the Momentum
Luoyang, in August, is the day of high autumn weather, after experiencing the moon appreciation party in Bianjing not long ago, the heroes of Luoyang also took out their own skills, ready to invite Su Shi and Shen Kuo and others over.
Anyway, Luoyang is also Xijing, one of the four capitals of the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention, Luoyang is still the Tokyo of the Tang Dynasty, and the capital of the Great Sui Dynasty, how can it lose to Bianjing in such a thing as Wenhui?!
Therefore, since the Mid-Autumn Festival has been lost, the next Chongyang Festival will have to be moved back no matter what.
And if you want to win, relying on the Luoyang literati alone, the possibility is really not very large, so as soon as several heroes discussed, they thought of a strategy of 'feeding the enemy', and directly invited Su Shi, Shen Kuo and others, who were in the limelight at the Mid-Autumn Festival in Bianjing, to Luoyang.
This strategy was proposed by Yang Cheng, or rather, Li Luo gave him inspiration, and then, he proposed this strategy, and for a while, among the dignitaries and nobles in Luoyang, Yang Cheng was mixed with the title of Xiao Zhuge .
Obviously, this is just a strategy used by Li Luo to curry favor with his future father-in-law, and he and the girl of the Yang family are now like glue.
At noon on August 28.
Li Luo thought about it, he had to go to Yang Cheng to behave again, especially now that Yang Xiang, the old lady of the Yang family, had officially handed over the entire Yang family's property to Yang Cheng to manage, it could be said that whether he Li Luo and the Yang family's girl could succeed depends on whether Yang Cheng agrees.
Wandering out of the house, got on the oil wall car, well, that's right, since the football game became popular, after the Luoyang rangers had their own serious careers, no one wanted to be a person anymore, so Luoyang Ling reintroduced the oil wall car.
The oil wall car turned seven times and eight times, and arrived in front of the Yang Mansion.
After Li Luo let people pass it on, he walked in under the respectful greeting of the porter, no matter what he said, now he is also a big man in Luoyang City, and all this, thanks to Xin Shiyi's support that day, or rather, it should be thanks to Liu Wulang's dirty goods.
After all, Shiyi Lang went to find Liu Wulang that day, if it weren't for Liu Wulang's presence, this would be a good errand for a football game, and I am afraid that it would not be his turn to be a ranger.
After entering the Yang Mansion, the porter did not follow, after all, everyone has their own news channels, and they basically already know that as long as there is no accident, this current manager of the Tokyo Football Division, Lord Li Luo, will sooner or later become the son-in-law of the Yang family, the uncle of their subordinates.
When my uncle comes to the Yang family, it's like going to my own home, and I still need these uninteresting little guys to guide the way?!
Li Luo smiled and walked towards the backyard, the big courtyard of the four entrances, the backyard is still some distance from the gate.
A quarter of an hour later, Li Luo arrived at the backyard of Yang's house, and the probe walked in.
"Uncle Yang!" Li Luo shouted with a big grin, the reason why he can have such an intimate title, in addition to his relationship with the girl of the Yang family, in fact, also benefits from his relationship with Xin Shiyi, if it were not for the identity of Xin Shiyi's subordinate, the Yang family may not take care of him, and even, it may not give him the opportunity to get close to the girl of the Yang family.
As soon as the words came out, Li Luo was stunned, because, in the backyard, Yang Cheng was not the only one who was drinking tea and admiring the flowers, but Yang Cheng stood tremblingly, bending down slightly, and on the stone table, sitting was Yang Xiang, the old lady of the Yang family, who had already announced that he would not care about anything.
"Li Luo has seen the old lady!" Li Luo's posture was very low, very low.
Yang Xiang frowned slightly, wanting to let Li Luo leave, but then he thought that this Li Luo was originally Xin Shiyi's person, and now what he and his son were discussing happened to be the matter that Xin Shiyi had explained.
In addition, Li Luo is the leader of the Luoyang Ranger, and he is very helpful for what he will do next, and besides, this person is already the son-in-law of the Yang family.
Thinking like this, Yang Xiang spoke: "Li Luo, you come over too, listen." ”
"Hey!" Li Luo lowered his head and agreed, walked towards the middle of the courtyard in an extremely restrained manner, and then, standing half a step behind Yang Cheng's side, he also stood there tremblingly, bowing his head and lowering his eyebrows.
Yang Xiang said softly: "Xin Shiyi suddenly came with news that all the commercial houses under the name of our Yang family began to purchase grain, what do you think?!" ”
"Could it be that the Western Army is short of food?!" Yang Cheng replied.
Li Luo shook his head secretly, it shouldn't be that simple, after all, it was Xin Shiyi who let him buy the grain!
Yang Xiang shook his head: "The news from Xin Shiyi is that let's buy grain all over the world, not only the Great Song Dynasty, but also the Liao Kingdom and Tianzhu Kingdom!" Even, he said that if it was possible, it would be Western Xia and Tibet, and they would also go to buy it. ”
"This ...... I don't know! Yang Cheng was a little nervous, logically speaking, Yang Cheng was actually a ruthless and smart person, otherwise, Yang Xiang would not have handed over the Yang family to him, but unfortunately, now standing in front of his father, his brain is like rust, and he can't turn around.
"Li Luo, what do you think? Xin Shiyi's move, what does it mean?! Yang Xiang turned his head and looked at Li Luo again.
After all, it is Xin Shiyi's people, and if you think about it, you should always know Xin Shiyi's thoughts.
Li Luo shook his head slightly: "Originally, the kid still had an idea, but since Shiyi Lang wanted to buy grain all over the world, the kid didn't understand it very well!" ”
In fact, the real thought in his heart was that he had an idea that was not very mature, and after learning that Xin Xi was going to buy grain all over the world, he suddenly connected and suddenly understood.
However, if he really says it, won't his future father-in-law's face be very ugly?!
Therefore, Li Luo chose to ask three questions, and then tell his future father-in-law his thoughts when he turned around, so that the future father-in-law would be able to pretend to be forced in front of the old lady again, so that his goodwill in the future father-in-law's heart would definitely increase again!
"That's it!" Yang Xiang sighed and got up, and said silently: "No matter what, Xin Shiyi's current status, after all, even the official family has to give up three points, not to mention, my Yang family still has an alliance with him Xin Shiyi, in this case, what he asks, let's do it!" ”
"Cheng'er!" Yang Xiang shouted.
"My son is here!" Yang Cheng is still a little cautious, although the old man has handed over the Yang family to him, but in fact, this is just a probationary period, as long as he can't satisfy the old man, the old man can replace him at any time!
"Just do as Xin Shiyi asks." Yang Xiang spoke.
Yang Cheng was slightly stunned, and thought carefully for a long time before he spoke: "If you really do what Xin Xi asked, all the liquidity of the commercial bank will be exhausted in a short period of time, if this batch of grain is rotten in our hands, not to mention how big the deficit is, I am afraid that when the time comes, there will be more and more dissatisfaction within the commercial bank, and the Yang family will want to control the commercial bank as before, I am afraid it will be difficult!" ”
This is something that he must consider as the head of the Yang family, and this is likely to be another test for him by the old man, to see if he thinks about the overall interests of the Yang family from the first order!
Sure enough, as he said this, the old man's face was obviously much better, and he could even point at him and laugh and scold: "Yang Cheng, Yang Cheng, the Cheng in your name is not a city that guards the city, but a great thing!" ”
"Since Xin Shiyi dares to do this, he must be sure!" Saying that, Yang Xiang laughed again: "I don't blame you, after all, I don't know that Xin Shiyi promised the old man, no matter how much money is spent on buying food this time, he will compensate the Yang family in full when he turns around, and at the same time, he will give us a hundred percent of the profit!" ”
How is that?!
Does Xin Shi think it is profitable to do this?!
Yang Cheng's brows furrowed slightly, and he said, "My son knows, so I will do what Xin Cheng asks!" ”
"Go ahead!" Yang Xiang sighed slightly, beckoned behind him, and a maid came over and helped the old man towards the house.
When the old lady had already walked into the house, Li Luo looked at Yang Cheng and said: "Uncle Yang, how do I think, Shiyi Lang is hoarding goods, strange goods can live, he seems to be preparing to buy all the grain that can be bought around Western Xia and Tubo, if you go back to Western Xia and Tubo are short of food......"
Li Luo reminded tentatively.
Yang Cheng's eyes lit up slightly, and then he hesitated: "Tubo and Western Xia are both big countries with a radius of 5,000 miles, I'm afraid it's not so easy to lack food......
Wait, the other party won't be short of food, can't you find a way to make the other party short of food?!
Thinking of this, Yang Cheng's face was full of excitement, and he slapped Li Luo on the shoulder heavily, and said, "Xing'er has been stuffy in her yard for several days, so you can take her out for a walk today!" ”
"Yes!" Li Luo happily walked towards the courtyard of the Yang family girl.
And Yang Cheng ran quickly to find the old man.
Then, the Yang family gave an order, and the merchants under the entire business house controlled by the Yang family were inexplicable, but they did not hesitate to begin to implement that strange request.
The Great Song Dynasty, the southern part of the Liao Kingdom, the eastern part of Western Xia, and Dali, even Tianzhu, who refused to receive the Song people, were bought by these merchants.
And with this turmoil, there was an inexplicable panic throughout eastern Asia, and every household refused to sell grain, even though the price of grain had risen more than twice the usual amount.
But because of this, every family is afraid, afraid that something big is going to happen, such as famine, war disasters and the like, one by one they will cover their surplus food tightly!
When Xin Xi learned the news, it was already the second day of the ninth month three days later.
The information presented by the Shadow Guard showed that everything was going according to his ideas.
Yes, his original idea was that he didn't plan to use the method of land indemnity to compensate for military expenses in later generations, after all, that method was based on winning a war, but the problem now is that it is difficult for the Great Song Dynasty to win a war.
There is not much to say about the Western Xia side, every year is either a defeat or a miserable victory, and there is no threat to the Western Xia at all, and the Tubo side, if you really want to do it, it is actually quite difficult, after all, altitude sickness is placed there, and once it is really done, the Tubo people will make a mistake, whether they go east to attack the border of the Great Song Dynasty, it is also a trouble.
Xin Zhen's original idea was to create a situation where strange goods could be lived in by operating on his own, and then sell the grain in his hands at a high price.
After all, with the acquisition of the Yang family firm, the surplus grain used by the people for trading is gone, and the grain in the hands of the remaining people has such a wave of crazy purchases.
Facts have proved that no matter what country it is, no matter what kind of system it is, whether it is peaceful, war, or poor or rich country, the rulers will not be stupid enough to touch the lifeblood of the people.
Because, once the root of that life is moved, whether you are a faint king or a bright king, the world will be in chaos and cause public anger, so that the king will be like a boat and sink into the sea.
Very good!
Xin Xi put down the information sent by the Shadow Guard, turned around, and quickly wrote down a piece of music and a letter, and said: "Xin Yi, send the chapter to Bianjing with an expedited 3,000 li, and send this letter to Luoyang Yang's house with an expedited 3,000 li!" ”
Xin Yi promised, and as a result, the chapters and letters, if they take the path of the Great Song Post Station, they can only be expedited by thousands of miles at most, and once it is expedited by three thousand miles, then it is the path of the Shadow Guard!
Master Xuyi on the side was a little puzzled, but he didn't speak, but after opening his eyes and looking, he closed his eyes again, his lips trembled silently, and he began to think about the undead on the battlefield again.
Xin Xi stood up and walked around the room, and finally, he stood still and shouted, "Someone! ”
"Commander!" A herald walked in and saluted respectfully.
"Convene all officials above the fourth grade, and the Xining Prefecture Government will hold a meeting!" Xin Zhen waved his hand, and then turned around and walked directly towards the Xining Prefecture Mansion.
Master Xuyi was slightly stunned, stopped chanting, got up and followed.
Now, everything is developing according to plan, and the only thing that is not uncertain is Xia Zhi and the Seed Master Dao and the Seed Brother's side.
Blue Sky Valley is an important place for the Western Xia army's grain route, and at the same time, there are about one million deniers of grain and grass hoarded in Blue Sky Valley, which is also an extremely important part.
The Gahai River, where the planting is located, is also a grain and grass hoarding point in Tubo and the necessary route of the western grain road, while the Daochuan River on the other side of the planting is not the grain and grass hoarded in Tubo, but it is where the eastern grain road of Tubo is located.
As long as the grain routes of these two countries can be completely cut off, the other side must buy their own grain, and at a high price!
It's just that UU Reading Books .et Xin Ji doesn't plan to sell them enough grain, but will use the grain to make a wave, drag it out for a while, and then, with the threat of sending troops, he demands that the two countries pay compensation, and the two countries pay compensation to his satisfaction, so he asks the planter Xia Zhu and others to withdraw their troops, otherwise, ......
Xin Xi will take the opportunity to really fight over, knock down a large area of land east of Gahai, north of the Daoliu River, and west of Blue Sky Valley, and then ask for compensation.
After all, with the current strength of the Great Song Dynasty, it is difficult to hold it even if it is defeated, and it is better to ask for compensation.
As for whether this move will cause anger in both countries?!
Not to mention, the granary of the war readiness of these two countries is controlled by him, and it is difficult for the other party to gather the food sent by the army.
Let's just say that there are exactly two countries here, and Xin Xi, as a third party, has too much room for choice!
Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is: at all costs, cut off the grain routes of Western Xia and Tibet!
As long as the grain routes of the two countries can be cut off and held on, Xin Xi will be able to rely on this war to clear the national debt and gather the money and grain to attack Dali!
