Yaohui didn't know who was the beggar, he didn't know who the bully was, and he had never heard of the two loud names of Ma Pregnant and Twist Vine. He only knew about the special talents of Yude and his family members in terms of business operations, as well as the strategic plans of His Royal Highness the Lord Regent for the entire lion clan.

"Replace firewood with peat and make peat affordable for all the leonins."

These are the exact words of His Royal Highness the Prince Regent, and they are the heart of the whole plan.

If it weren't for the destruction of the pig tribe and the opening of the passage between Rock City and the lion tribe, the large-scale transportation of peat would only exist in the mind.

When Yude took the initiative to come to the door and asked for peat sales, Yaohui was actually very happy, which coincided with the task assigned by His Royal Highness, and he generously gave Yude a preferential price, and everyone was truly happy.

In the words of His Royal Highness the Regent: "It is possible to give up a part of the benefits and turn them into our people." ”

By the way, in addition to the steward of the "Shengxinglong" trading house in Roaring City, Yaohui also has two other identities: the head of the Roaring City Intelligence Station, and the third-level deputy chief staff member of the Dragon Clan's United Front Work Department.

"The so-called united front is to make more of our people and fewer of the enemy." This is also the original words of His Royal Highness the Regent, and Yaohui never knew that this actually came from the era of civilization, and the real speaker was actually Taizu.

For a long time, whether it was Zumu who was in charge of the Tiger Clan or Yaohui who was in charge of the Lion Clan, their purpose was to create chaos within the target clan, cooperate with the Dragon Clan army to fight, and win from many aspects.

Yude is a big fish, not to mention that he has a huge family behind him.

There was a terrible statistic in the age of civilization———— there were about thirty people, holding fifty percent of the wealth on the planet.

If this concept is transferred to the present, and "the wealth of all the northern barbarians" is used as a comparison, Yude can undoubtedly enter the ranks of the "thirty masters".

Yaohui wiped the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, and handed over the empty bowl with a smile: "This soup tastes really good, bring me some more." ”

Looking at Yude, who looked displeased, casually handed the empty bowl to the woman kneeling next to him, Yaohui said calmly: "The situation is not as bad as you think. Before entering the city this morning, I sent a messenger. If all goes well, the Rock City side will react quickly. ”

He spoke quietly, but the merchants gathered around the fire could hear him clearly. The dull atmosphere in the room was suddenly broken, and people began to talk to each other and whisper. The numbness and fear in the eyes were dispelled, and the long-stagnant thoughts became active.

Regardless of wealth or seniority, Yude is recognized as the leader of the lion merchants. He was slightly stunned, a glimmer of light flashed in the depths of his eyes, his body moved closer to Yaohui's side, and his tone of voice became excited: "Are you sure?" ”

Yaohui didn't speak, just nodded with a smile with an affirmative look.

He did send messengers before entering the city. It's just that it's not the riders that Yude and the merchants think, but two long-trained bald eagles.

Because in order to free up his hands to deal with the Tiger Clan and the Eagle Clan first, Tianhao must allocate most of his forces to take care of the east and west. The strategic plan of "weak first and then strong" has been implemented since last year. The reason why the lion people are put last is because of its large population and stable food production. In contrast, as long as the superiority of the river fleet is ensured on the Pantuo River, it will be difficult, or even impossible, for the Tiger Clan to counterattack. For a long time to come, they will have to be forced to go on the defensive.

According to Tianhao's original concept, at least four corps formed the main attack spearhead, with the inland river fleets in Buck City and White Deer City responsible for providing firepower and logistical support, plus two-thirds of the Marine Corps' troops, along the Pantuo River, sequentially captured Tiger Pass, Gangwei City, Tiejaw City, and Huangshi City...... If things go well, it will take five to six months to capture Bloodclaw City and destroy the Tiger Clan.

The appearance of Wulin prompted Tianhao to revise his strategic plan. There is nothing more to look forward to than a national teacher who is completely dead set on his former ruler. Although he did not undergo spore transplantation and cannot be regarded as "his own person" in the true sense, Tianhao is very confident in Wu Lin———— he has witnessed the contrasting changes before and after Buck City, and has seen the wealth and happiness of the commoners under the rule of the regent, coupled with Tiger King Yaoxian's hesitation on some issues, it can even be said that he is stupid, Wu Lin has taken the initiative to join Tianhao's unification camp for the Northern Continent and play a special role exclusive to him.

Wind City is the best example of this. Even Tianhao himself did not expect that in less than a month, more than a million Tiger civilians would flee north. This means that it is impossible for the Tiger Clan to recover for at least the next ten years, and they can only rely on the so-called "plan to reconstruct the northern defense line" to survive, let alone reunite their army and take the initiative to counterattack.

Annexing a clan is more than just killing the chief. It takes time to digest the population, and it is necessary to arrange safe and livable areas for them. The "Northern Development" strategy has been implemented, and thanks to the frenzied construction of roads between walled cities, millions of Tiger refugees have been sent to the north in a short period of time. This is a good thing for the Dragon Clan, after all, even if the original plan is to capture Bloodclaw City, Tianhao will need at least half a year to rectify the entire Tiger Clan. It was troublesome to screen nobles and officials, or to pacify low-level civilians, and it was necessary to garrison troops in the territory of the Tiger Clan, and the number of troops could not be less than two legions. When all the transformation work is completed, and the annexed Tiger Clan truly becomes the Dragon Clan, and begins to provide personnel and material assistance to the Clan, and then starts the war against the Eagle Clan, it will be at least a year later.

War is the best source of chaos. The Ministry of Intelligence sent a large number of personnel to infiltrate the Tiger Clan, coupled with the witch forest, the combination of the two has no less effect than the two legions, or even more.

Only then was Tianhao able to draw his troops, turn his attention from the west to the east, and deal with the Eagle Clan first.

After all, the Tiger Clan has been abolished. It is in the interests of the dragon clan to leave a tiger king who is stubborn and suspicious.

Rock Castle was defined as a "fortress" from the time it was first built. Tianhao placed the first and fifth legions in the south of the city, and continued to build various fortifications in the direction of the lion territory, that is, the part of the original pig territory. On this basis, new settlements have been formed over the past few years.

Now, the First Army is stationed in the city of Steel Tooth, with a total strength of 60,000.

The Fifth Legion was stationed in Tooth City, with a total strength of 50,000.

The two abandoned cities that originally belonged to the pig tribe were rebuilt, and more than 20,000 people were relocated one after another. The two cities echo each other from afar, and the lion clan from Fangs to the south is always on guard.

Until the end of the war against the Eagle Clan, it is almost impossible for Tianhao to draw troops from other directions to support Steel Tooth City and Crazy Tooth City. With the current strength of the dragon clan, it is also difficult to build a new legion. After all, the current army model is different from the past, and it is no longer a set of armor and a war knife that can arm soldiers. Both gunpowder and guns need to be supplied from logistics, which also has to take into account the combined production capacity of military factories and Jeju Island.

At times like these, Pyeongjoon's intelligence department becomes more and more important.

The fact that "the Leo Token does not contain silver" has been spreading in private. The reason why Tianhao failed to use the "water detection method" immediately caused a chain reaction within the lion clan and led to chaos was largely due to the collective silence of the lion merchants, including Yude.

Apart from the lion kings, they are the largest profit group from business activities. Even if the token does not contain silver, as long as it is endorsed by the lion king and the entire clan hierarchy, it can be circulated in the market, recognized by commoners and nobles, and recognized by merchants.

Even if the token is a piece of.

In fact, for a long time, Yude and other merchants also had scruples in their hearts———— the Dragon Regent's attitude was very tough, he demanded that all merchants buy peat from Rock City must be paid in gold or the equivalent of silver, and refused to recognize the tokens issued by the Lion King.

In the past few years, the lion merchants have paid a lot of gold and silver to keep the lucrative peat business afloat. They bought precious metals from various sources, and even bought off members of the royal family to exchange gold and silver at relatively high prices. It's just that this kind of thing is very difficult to operate, and it was only carried out a few times, and the amount of gold and silver exchanged was not much, and then there was no follow-up.

Looking at Yaohui, who looked calm, Yude's nervous mood also calmed down slightly. At this time, the woman happened to bring the broth, and he looked at Yaohui and thanked him while taking the bowl of soup, with a smile on his face.

He's a dragon, and he does have reason to be happy.

But what about me...... I used to be a lion clan, and I was a wealthy businessman who was high up and looked up to by many commoners. But now, it's just a lost dog that fled in a hurry.

Yude really didn't understand what was going on in the lion king's head. Even if the chaos caused by the official bank of Liuyun City caused by civilians and merchants to question the credit of the tokens, it could still be alleviated by cashing in gold, silver, and materials. Don't you know that the source of the monetary system is the word "credit"? Blindly taking a hard line and repressive solutions will only make things worse and return the entire Leo society to its former state of original trading.

If it was just the Lion King, Yude could unite with other merchants to help solve this crisis. He had a strong belief in this, and both eloquence and financial prowess, merchants had become an important part of the entire community. Of course, this is not to say that Yude has a strong sense of ethnic identity, but that he is completely out of consideration for the family's wealth. Once the token system collapses, it means that the wealth accumulated over the years will crumble and become a pile of scrap metal that no one wants.

During that time, Yude wrote one after another to ask to see the lion king. He united the great merchants of Roaring City, and worked tirelessly between the nobility and the royal family. But in the end, he couldn't even touch the steps of the palace.

The gift was accepted, but for the request to meet the lion king, he only ran over and said lightly and full of sarcasm: "Just because you are just a businessman, and you are a commoner who doesn't even have a surname, Your Majesty will not waste time on you." ”

The surname is an eternal pain in Yude's heart.

According to the law of the lion clan, only by obtaining military merits on the battlefield, or running a certain village, making the population exceed 10,000 and reach the size of a "city", can you get a surname and become a nobleman.

Yude and his ancestors worked in this direction. They are willing to spend money to buy a village, but because of the bad timing, it has attracted speculation from all sides. In particular, Yude's father, who had bought a large number of people and wanted to buy land outside the city to build a new village, was found to be "intent to rebel" by the royal watchdog that had been watching him. If it weren't for Yude and his clan spending a lot of money to buy off the top and bottom and take care of everything, his father would have died in prison a long time ago, and the family might have been implicated, so there is nothing to talk about now.

When Yaohui found Yude, the latter was already disillusioned with the Lion Clan's elite circle. A simple sentence made Yude decide to give up everything he had and choose to join the dragon camp.

"His Royal Highness the Lord Regent has promised to give you and your family a surname."

The rest is a logical one. Yude and the merchants who formed a group quickly reached a consensus, and on the one hand, they secretly transferred their property, and on the other hand, they instigated the commoners to create a run and chaos in the walled cities in various places. All the comptoirs collectively closed their doors and refused to operate, resulting in the inability of the tokens to circulate in the market, and at the same time, on the grounds that the tokens were scrap metal, various orders placed before were cancelled for local civilians.

It's so enjoyable to create chaos. Yude suddenly discovers that he actually has a talent for becoming a conspirator. The powerful lion clan was in turmoil in such a short period of time, forcing the lion king to thunder and order the suppression of force in various places...... All of this is a testament to his wisdom and, of course, the foresight of the Dragon Regent.

That's the magic of money.

His Majesty the Lion King once touched its edge, but casually threw this powerful weapon into the garbage.

The goal has been achieved, and it will be too late if you don't leave. Under Yaohui's arrangement, Yude and the merchants left Roaring City one after another, taking their entire family and remaining wealth to the north.

Fangs City is the final pass. I just don't know if I can get out of here safely and run to a new life?

Looking at Yaohui, who was enjoying the bowl of soup with a face, Yude couldn't help it: "When is it, are you still so leisurely?" Don't forget, Shi Lie is a relative of His Majesty, and this place is not far from the Broken Gold City. We have escaped for so many days, Your Majesty must have noticed it, once the pursuers behind caught up, or Shi Lie received the news from the direction of Broken Gold City...... Then we'll just have to stay here and die. ”

Yaohui maintained a fixed posture and said seriously: "Don't worry! His Royal Highness the Regent will not sit idly by. You, and all of you here, are all people named by His Highness. I'll make sure you're safe no matter what. If Shi Lie wants your head, he must first step over my corpse. ”

These categorical words gave the merchants great confidence. Yude, who was mild-faced, exhaled a long breath, and he kept rubbing his hands: "Then when are we going to do it?" ”
