Chapter 366: News
In the capital again, after a short rest. Thieves from all walks of life have come to buy everything from grain to straw paper, which has become hard currency in people's eyes. As far as civilians are concerned, shortages are more terrible than defeat, and famine is especially frightening.
At such times, most of the people who can still sell things on the field are well-dressed people of power. They sell leftovers from the military or relief from government coffers. In order to obtain a lot more money than usual, countless people do not hesitate to risk their lives. In particular, the elites from other tribes seem to be far less loyal to the royal family than to gold, and in this time of crisis, most people think about how to avoid disaster later.
The wartime underground economy, which was supposed to be contained, became more and more intense due to the inaction of the upper echelons of the Northern Han Dynasty. Hanjing is the most urbanized city in Northern Han, and the lockdown is enough for more than a month that rats can't find food.
In an underground market in the middle of the city, two Kazakh people wearing towels on their heads are welcome. In times of high prices, their goods are always a quarter cheaper than others and have a wide variety. If you trade it in gold, you can even buy some meat, milk or even fine wine.
In addition, the most powerful thing about the two Kazakh people is that in addition to cash transactions, they are willing to give loans to certain people with good credit, and the so-called people with good credit who borrow with high interest rates are usually officials of the fourth rank or above in the imperial court, or nobles with functions, and only they can get 3 times the interest of the reception. Despite the high interest rate, few people care about how much they have to pay back in such a precarious time. Some people even secretly believe that when the Northern Han Dynasty no longer has zài, the money will naturally not have to be returned.
However. Two, three, four days passed. The Northern Han Dynasty still has no debts, but the debts are accumulating more and more. Gentlemen with good credit who borrowed money not only faced the problem of paying off their debts, but also often had to buy new goods.
Under these circumstances, the Kazakhs, who were supported by a few princes, began to lobby in the mansions of the nobles.
Go without saying. These Ha people are all internal responses that have been prepared by the Great Xia Military Department for a long time.
In fact. As early as before the Li Dynasty, Great Xia continued to secretly communicate with certain tribes of the Northern Han Dynasty. Those tribal successors back then, many of them successfully won the central power, and they were not necessarily prepared to be puppet soldiers for the Xia Dynasty, but they did not do less things to sell other insufficient interests and obtain some benefits.
Now that the Northern Han Ming is about to fall apart, not to mention the nobles, even the nobles of the royal family are all separated from morality, and these Ha people are more active.
After coming to the military headquarters, they did not hesitate to take out their reserves of materials and sell them in the market, and once they got debts, they exchanged them for news or good interest.
In fact, for them, this is a profitable business. Before the destruction of Hanjing City, they could sell grain as expensive as pearls, and the debts they got were far more usury, even if Hanjing City was broken, through the Guò occupation army and the friends of Daxia, they could still earn back their capital, and even make a big profit.
Even in the daily change of guards, belonging to the defense area of the Kazakh people, there will occasionally be a whole box of food, most of which is dehydrated grain, and occasionally there are condiments such as salt and sugar.
In return, the Great Xia Military Department was able to obtain a steady stream of information.
But among them useful. Only a small part.
But. Han Wei is a very eloquent person, and can describe simple things in interesting and plump language to report to Cheng Jinzhou once a day, even if the results are small, it sounds like a bad thing, and on the seventh day, there is finally substantial progress "It is said that at the beginning, the materials were transported to Fengqian Port, and later transported to Hanjing, and then stored in the warehouse. All belong to the royal family. ”
On the fifteenth day, the scope was further narrowed, and they even found a list of the entry and exit vouchers of the warehouse, according to which it was possible to determine that the people who had been to the warehouse had that.
At this time. The endurance of the Great Xia generals was also at its limit. The whole army waited for the battle to be completed. Then they went home for the New Year, but Cheng Jinzhou only allowed them to carry out small-scale attacks, and the purpose was only to retain their tactical advantage.
Cheng Jinzhou looked at the list of old people narrowed down, nodded silently, and finally ordered: "Han Wei, you go and summon the main generals to have a meeting."
The military judge walked away in a hurry, Xiao Cheng grabbed the koala off his shoulder, threw him the list and said, "Look, who do you think looks like a border crosser?" ”
Yi Su was bored, and writhed in his hand unwillingly: "Wait until I am strong, see if you dare to arrest me again." ”
"Hundreds of kilograms of materials, the astral warlocks refine them into a few kilograms, and then give them to you to use, and finally add them to the body, that is, a few hundred grams, how long will it take for you to become stronger?"
The astrosorcers who leaned towards chemistry were still refining various compounds. On the one hand, it can exercise their abilities, and on the other hand, it is also to find a reason to give subsidies, lest the chemical astrologers do not know what to study and ignore it, according to the tendency of the astrologers, most of them will spend their energy on considering the relationship between mathematics and chemistry.
Izushi snorted and looked at the list. In terms of his life and goals, it is nothing to spend dozens or hundreds of years, unlike many impatient gentlemen who always take a year or two too seriously.
"I don't have any impression of the famous Zhuo in it...... For a long time, Isu gave such an answer.
Cheng Jinzhou pointed to the "society" bar above disapprovingly: "The most suspicious thing now is Prince Fangzheng and this." The storekeepers, by their capacity, don't seem to need to travel to such small parties.
"Fang Zheng seems to have been going to that warehouse every month, for half a year, why guess him?" Isu asked strangely: "In contrast, I think that not only the head of the warehouse is suspicious, but also the chief eunuch of the royal family, he may save a large amount of money and use it to make the first batch of purchases, and he will always be able to earn some money."
"Founder may be used to going to the warehouse, so the materials are also stored in the warehouse after purchase." Cheng Jinzhou said half of it, and felt that it didn't make sense, so he turned to say: "How can the crosser be a eunuch and so on?"
Isu praised: "Yes, border crossers can hide themselves in any identity, and eunuchs are no problem
Cheng Jinzhou's face was embarrassed, and he said cowardly: "What I originally thought was that those who crossed the border could be fake eunuchs, maybe they would be happier."
