At the beginning of the night in Shenyang, the sound of bangs sounded everywhere, the lanterns on Chengdong Street swayed, and a group of white-armored soldiers surrounded Yue Tuo and came to a big mansion to stop.

"Master, it's here." Goshha next to him whispered.

Yue Tuo woke up from his contemplation, turned his head to look at the door of the mansion, nodded and jumped off the horse, and the Zhenghongqi Goshha who guarded the door welcomed Yue Tuo in, and there was another person who went to inform Dai Shan.

After walking through the courtyard, Yue Tuo came to the courtyard where Dai Shan lived, there were bows and arrows in the courtyard, and the horses were also tied to it.

Dai Shan doesn't talk much on weekdays, drinking smuggled soju while chewing soybeans. Yue Tuo sat on the side of the kang for a moment before he spoke: "Amma, you still don't want to sit in this position of Big Belle." ”

Dai Shan hummed noncommittally and continued to drink, Yue Tuo looked at the lantern hanging on the wall with some distraction and said: "Zilharang came to me at noon, and his words hinted at the matter of the Great Khan sitting alone in the south, and his attitude was self-evident. Two yellow flags on the two blue flags, now four of the eight banners are on the side of the Great Khan, Dolgon was demoted to Dorobelle after the Battle of Arthur last year, Duoduo is a no-brainer, Azig is even on the side of the Great Khan......"

Dai Shan suddenly said in a loud voice: "Which side are you on?" ”

Yue Tuo was stunned for a moment and said, "I, I ......"

Dai Shan threw the remaining soybeans back into the small bowl on the table, raised his head and sighed: "I told you earlier, don't be blinded by the crooked reasoning of the eighth child, you have to say that he is eloquent and strategic, and he sees that he is a little profitable." You Ama and I knew him many years ago, when Abahai's matter, originally just to send a little food, Lao Tzu felt that it was not good to sweep people's face, so he accepted it, he had to find a life to pull alive and said that Lao Tzu had something to do with Abahai. In the end, the old Khan was quite dissatisfied with me, and let the Great Golden Khan go. Originally, the four Baylors sat together, and he couldn't help us for a while. But you, Shuto, and Sakhalian were all deceived by him, and gave you the position of minister, and thought that you were on an equal footing with the lord of the banner, but they did not know that the council of the eight kings was the foundation, and finally it became a council, and this was thirty or forty people, and it was clear that the small was the large. You still think that it is the three of us who are in charge, but you don't know that in the end, it will be on your own heads. ”

Yue Tuo lowered his head and didn't speak, and Dai Shan continued: "When you were engaged in the six parts back then, you only talked about how good the six parts were, and you didn't know the selfishness of the eighth part. Now Amin and Mang Gultai are dead. Everyone sees the fate of the blue flag, Dolgon and Duoduo have always been the grass on the wall, and they can't be counted on at any time, except for the four banners of Manchuria, the left and right wings of Mongolia, Wuzhen Chaoha, Tianyou Army, and Outer Mongolia all listen to the old eight, and it will not be possible if they don't let it. ”

Yue Tuo said in a low voice: "Let the Great Baylor go, and the Great Khan can't do anything to our two red flags." We helped him at this time, and he will remember this friendship in the future. ”

Dai Shan took a sip of wine himself, saw if Yue Tuo had a bowl, and found a bowl for Yue Tuo from behind. While watching Yue Tuo pour wine, he said, "Ama is a little worried about you, Mang Guji's daughter, kill it." Not a few of them, since they want him to sit alone. You still shouldn't keep that blessing anymore. ”

Yue Tuo drank and was silent for a while before he said: "Amma, I can't do such things, the woman who married me is the one I should protect, if I can't do this, how should the minions below look at me." ”

Dai Shan shook his head, and no longer persuaded him, Yue Tuo sighed and said: "Fan Wencheng and Bao Chengxian, these Han dogs have already made a move, Amma, since you plan to give up the position of Big Baylor, you will take the initiative to propose it at the political conference, so it is more appropriate." There is also the Great Khan who plans to refer to the mold of Dengzhou to expand Wuzhen Chaoha, Wuzhen Chaoha and Tianyou Army will make up 10,000 people, each banner will draw people, and the iron and money and food in the public will come to train this army and horses. ”

"No." Dai Shan said indifferently, "The position can be made, and Ding can't say anything." ”

"What he means is to let Sakhalian come to lead Wuzhen Chaoha, and Dingkou is still in charge of the flags."

Dai Shan looked up at Yue Tuo with a little surprise, Yue Tuo nodded to Dai Shan, Sakhalian is also Dai Shan's son, it seems that Huang Taiji plans to exchange conditions with him, if he doesn't agree, Sakhalian will be dissatisfied with Dai Shan.

Dai Shan looked at the table and thought for a moment, "Since Dingkou is in the flags, what is Sakhalian's business?" It's like the book of the military department when you were the original, and you used it for a fart. ”

Yue Tuo said in a low voice: "In this 10,000 miles, the Tianyou army is 3,000, and Wuzhen Chaoha is 7,000, divided into eight Jiala and four solid mountains, and walks with the flag when going out, and is led by Sakhalian when he is dispatched alone. ”

Dai Shan squinted his eyes and said, "Does the old Ba really plan to learn from Dengzhou Town?" ”

Yue Tuo nodded and persuaded: "Amma, I agree with this matter, no matter what the Great Khan is, Nadengzhou is my mortal enemy of Dajin." I also read the military newspaper in Dengzhou, and on the headline of Chen Xin's own article, he claimed to be a civilized place, called me Dajin a Tunguska savage, and said that there would be no day when the fighting would never stop, and it would never be possible to kill all of my Dajin, and the same was true for what others wrote. Now Chen Xin is entrenched in the Golden Brigade, buying horses from Guanning and Shanxi, and its cavalry is becoming stronger and stronger, only between Fuzhou and Gaizhou has more than 2,000 people. ”

Dai Shan sneered and said: "Learning from Dengzhou is to learn ten percent, and you can't fight that Chen Xin's Dingkou, not to mention that those Aha won't serve us sincerely, and when the time comes, it's better not to defect." ”

"The Great Khan is going to give them all flags and divide the fields, and give priority to those who have families, so honest and obedient, I heard that even military discipline is also learned in Dengzhou Town."

Dai Shan shook his head slightly, "Where did the eighth get that lot of money and food to practice this team, Lao Tzu has also heard He Changchang and others say, you must know that Dengzhou is strong and weak, and its foot formation is fierce and unbeatable, but it must be practiced every day, and it can be like an arm and a finger can be used as an arm to make a finger, and it is not like my Zhushen warriors to practice shooting and hunting." Look at how much the price of grain has been now, who is willing to give money and grain to the eighth child? ”

Yue Tuo also had a worried face, "I don't know how this year, Guanning has twenty taels of silver and a stone, and there is nowhere to buy it with the silver, Zu Kefa wrote to ask Zu Dashou, saying that there is a food shortage everywhere in the Ming Kingdom, not Guanning, and even the Jingshi has nowhere to buy." Looking at the appearance of this year, Dengzhou Town sent cavalry to harass Gaizhou every three or five times. Not to mention its riding formation, the method of stragglers has become more and more proficient. If you don't fight Fuzhou before the autumn harvest and let Dengzhou Town entrench there, you won't want to go anywhere this winter, just wait to spend it with Dengzhou. ”

"Hit Fuzhou?" Dai Shan snorted, "We have to collect the autumn grain at the earliest, and at least more than five thousand vests, the Dengzhou scouts are not weak, and when we transfer all the people." They slipped away from Fuzhou, what are we going to do, it's just to keep a winter, they haven't come again every spring, and when they withdrew this year, Lao Tzu said that Fuzhou should be demolished. No one listened. ”

Yue Tuo sighed and said: "The matter has come to this point, it is useless to say this, anyway, there is a shortage of food everywhere, I don't believe that he is not short of Dengzhou, it depends on how long they consume energy." ”……

"Our grain stock in the canal, Jingshi and Guanning has exceeded 1 million and 30 stones, and the average purchase price is 221 yuan, and there is still one month before the autumn harvest of Jiannu. Grain can be released from the lower reaches of the canal. Jingshi and the canal, let's slowly release grain, and work with several other big merchants to ensure that everyone has money to earn, and do not form a vicious price reduction. The only way to suppress food prices is in Guanning. I heard that Wu Xiang and Zu Dashou couldn't help it, they just bought 100,000 stone of grain at a high price in Tianjin, and let them die this time, and we should have the final say on the grain price in Guanning next year. ”

Chen Xin said leisurely on the drunkard's chair: "Where's the cotton? ”

Liu Minyou held his booklet. While calculating, he said: "Cotton cloth has begun to be released everywhere, a little ahead of the grain." Because August and September came to the time to buy cotton, if the price of cotton cloth remains high, the raw material of cotton will also skyrocket, which is not conducive to our cotton spinning strategy next year, so we must suppress cotton prices in advance, we have about 5 million cotton cloth in our hands, some of our own production, there are also cloth from Jiangnan, concentrated in this period of time, you can hit the lowest price of canal cloth, this matter has no impact on the farmers in Jiangnan, those cotton merchants will be miserable, will have a big loss. ”

Chen Xin sat up and scratched his head and said, "Then I calculated last time, we didn't make much, and these cotton merchants also lost, so who made it?" ”

Liu Minyou said with a smile: "We have a low-price part of the self-produced subsidy, and we still have to make money, these merchants' silver has been used for high-price purchases, and the silver money is scattered in the weaving homes in the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Chen Xin nodded at Liu Minyou, "Insidious, but I think it......" Chen Xin touched his chin, "There are not only weaving farmers in the south, but also many large and small weaving workshops. ”

Liu Minyou asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Chen Xin wrenched his fingers seriously, "The effect of this year's economic war is beyond imagination, the resistance of the free economy of the Ming Dynasty is too weak, we have to make good use of it." This time, the price of cotton cloth has risen sharply, and the purchase price of cotton in the south will also rise, so we should wait for those weaving mills in the south to purchase raw materials at a high price, and then suppress the price of cotton cloth. ”

Liu Min spread his hands, "Then what should we do?" We also have to purchase cotton from Dongchang Mansion, Gunzhou Mansion and Qingzhou Mansion, and the market is so good this year that the raw materials must be snapped up. The flowering period in the south is earlier than that in Shandong, and when they finish purchasing, we can only wait until September, when Shandong's cotton is bought out, what will the workers do next year? ”

Chen Xin waved his hand to interrupt him and said: "What's too late, it's gone, the cotton is ripe when it blooms, and it has to be picked, picked and then transported to Linqing and Liaocheng and other places to sell, there is about half a month in the middle, the flowering period in Jiangnan is about a month later than Shandong, and there is still time for message transmission in the middle, so you can use this time difference." We began to in mid-August, violently suppressing the price of cotton cloth in the northern section of the canal, just when Linqing and Liaocheng harvested cotton, we just bought this year's new cotton at a low price. When the price fluctuated to Jiangnan, they would buy it almost as well, and the silver from those workshops would fall into the hands of cotton farmers, and it would be difficult to concentrate it again. ”

Liu Minyou said in a low voice: "Then the large-scale workshops in Jiangnan will have to lose money next year." ”

Chen Xin laughed and said: "It's not good to lose money, we will sell at a lower price next year, and the cotton cloth industry produced in Jiangnan will be over, and it will be too simple for us to only deal with those farmers in the future." There are some purchases in advance here in Shandong, which are also high-priced purchases, which is already a loss, let's reduce the price again, they dare to invest money to weave the cloth out? At that time, it is not enough to sell the raw materials. ”

Liu Min pointed at Chen Xin, "Insidious! ”

Chen Xin proudly poured back to the drunkard chair, "This is not called insidious, this is called strength, thanks to Zhong Laosi's robbery of Zhangjiakou, he got more than one million taels of silver, and there are a lot of goods, this is a windfall, the main force is still Qianzhuang, plus the army's salaries are pressed in Qianzhuang, most of them don't take it on weekdays, who can compare with the funds we temporarily mobilized." And it's done together at all locations, which is called organization. As soon as this year's money is earned, the army will be expanded again early next year, and it will be seen that Jiannu can still jump for a few years. ”

ps: The body has improved, and I will make up for it as much as possible.
