Section 2 Placing Orders
readx;
As soon as Gu Ji said this, Wu Feng's face became extremely cautious, and he stared at Gu Ji's face for a long time before squeezing out a sentence: "How sure is your prediction possible?"
As the owner of the two largest private book collections in Yenching, Wu Feng naturally knew that Gu Ji had a very close personal relationship with many scholars in the Yenching academic community, and he was also a highly accomplished scholar, so the weight of what he said could not be underestimated.

"I have asked myself this point several times, and I have discussed it with several authoritative scholars in this area in the empire who often come to my study, but there is still no accurate judgment, after all, such vain speculation is likely to lead to social turmoil, no matter who has a great grasp of it, he will not dare to make assertions at will, so I can only say that based on the opinions of many people, I tend to see this situation this year, as for the grasp, my opinion is five or five. Gu Ji saw that Wufeng Lai Ningse became solemn, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, as long as he attracted enough attention from the other party, it was enough, as for how to make decisions and respond, it was his own idea as a coach.
This is shocking enough, if your prophecy becomes true, the entire Eastern Continent will face a food shortage, whether it is the empire or Maqi Khan and Milan, or even the three northern kingdoms, the war has been continuous in the past few years, the Kamans, Maqi Khans, The Poole and even the Milanese are expanding their armies on a large scale, and the demand for food and forage has increased exponentially, and the strategic reserves of various countries are no longer sufficient, and they can only cope with an ordinary war. Wu Feng muttered, "Our northwest is not the main grain producing area, and we can't take this risk, we must store and hoard the necessary grain." โ
"But sir, you have to think clearly, if you store and hoard, the quantity will definitely not be small, and the price of grain will definitely rise, and once the grain harvest continues this year, the price of grain will fall, and the loss will be great. What's more, your lord's Northern Luzon is adjacent to the important grain-producing areas of the Central Continent, such as Indean and Luzon, and even if there is a famine in the Eastern Continent, you can also buy food from the Central Continent for emergencies. Gu Ji was still a little hesitant, although he thought in his heart that the famine in the Eastern Continent this year might be very great, but he didn't dare to rule out that this kind of famine might be postponed to next year, once the judgment was wrong, the loss was definitely not a small amount.
"It is precisely because of this that I have to increase my efforts to store and hoard grain, not only in the empire and the eastern continent, but also in the purchase and hoarding of grain in the middle continent, and the wonderful use of this will not be revealed until after the famine comes. A sly smile appeared on Wu Feng's face, "Maybe these grains will play a greater role than the army." โ
Gu Ji realized, "My lord wants to buy grain in the Middle Continent, but the Indian and Andean countries are important grain producing areas, and it may be extremely difficult for you to control the grain in the Central Continent, and in my opinion, it is almost impossible." โ
"Hehe, I didn't say that I want to control the grain in the entire Central Continent, I just want to raise the price of food in the central and northern parts of the Central Continent, so that some countries will not be able to buy enough food at that time, so they will have to pay the price from other aspects. Although Indean is a major grain producing area, it has a large population, frequent floods and droughts, and there is not much surplus grain from the people, and it does not cost much money to purchase the surplus grain of the Indean people, but the grain production in Luzon, Comini and Pasha is very large, and it will take some money to control it. But it's also worth it, according to what you said, once there is a famine in the Eastern Continent, the demand for this food is extremely large, and the famine in the Eastern Continent is likely to last for two or three years, and the amount of food required during this period is an astronomical amount, so even if you spend more money, the benefits will far outweigh the expenditures. Wu Feng seemed to have a conclusion in his heart, and he was very sure when he spoke.
"What do you mean by some of the countries in the north and the Maqi Khans?" Gu Ji saw the subtlety, and was already keenly aware of Wu Feng's thoughts.
"Hehe, in the northern countries, except for the Kamans, they have some savings, but because of their rapid expansion in the past two years, they have consumed a lot, and they have also provided a lot of food and financial assistance to the Sislo and Poole, and their domestic food reserves have also dropped to the lowest amount in recent years, now I not only want to control the grain of the Indean and Andean countries, but also send people to these countries to buy up their civilian grain stocks, and at that time, I want to see where they get food!" Thinking of this, Wu Feng couldn't help but grin, "As for the Maqi Khans, they may be more troublesome, now that they control Yuejing and Ankun and Jemero, these two places can provide more food sources, even if I buy grain within the empire and within Maqi Khan, at most it will raise the price of grain, with Lei Juetian's shrewdness, there will definitely be a considerable amount of strategic grain reserves, at most, it will make them suffer a little financial loss, it is not easy to drag them down." โ
Gu Ji didn't expect that Wu Feng had even taken the problem into account on the heads of the northern Liberian countries, and when he heard the other party say this, the amount of funds involved in this is by no means just a simple number, even if Wu Feng has obtained a lot of funds in Inde'an, but if he wants to carry out such a large acquisition plan, he is afraid that he will not be able to do so, "My lord, have you calculated the amount of funds needed during this period?"
"Well, I know it's not a small amount, but there are still two or three months to go, and as long as we hurry up and prepare carefully, we can achieve our goal. Wu Feng nodded," You don't have to worry about the financial problem, the funds obtained by Indean have not been used, and now is the time to play a role; in addition, there are many financial institutions in the Northwest and Kansai, and we can lend in the name of the political axe, hehe, it seems that there are many financial institutions that are bent on entering Northern Luzon and the Western Regions, well, as a test of their sincerity, I can use it as a quid pro quo for them to lend to the Northwest and Kansai counties at low interest, in the name of large-scale infrastructure construction, and it will only take a year at most to see the differenceใ Wu Feng was confident about this, "Gu Ji, your Gu family can also participate in this game, I am also ready to let a few big merchants in the northwest participate in this game, the beauty of this game is that the more people who participate, the better, but the participants should all be our allies, so that they can play an effective role." โ
Gu Ji nodded, in fact, as early as when Wu Feng decided to implement this plan, he had already decided to participate in this plan, which could play a role in fueling the flames, and it could also make the Gu family's economic strength go to a higher level.
"My lord, if you want to implement this plan, I am afraid that the sooner the better, it is better to do it immediately, the more difficult it will be, and the greater the amount of money will be required. Guji had already made up his mind, so he didn't hesitate anymore.
"Well, today I will send a letter back to the northwest and Kansai with snow pigeons, and order Xiao Tang and the Guanxi prefectures to act first and use all kinds of funds to purchase reserves, hoping to catch up. Wu Feng also felt a little urgent at this time, the time was already a little short, but he couldn't care about it at this time.
"Adults don't need to worry, whether it's the Five Lakes, Jiangnan, or the East China Sea, there are only a few big grain businesses in each county, you can arrange for someone to make a deposit in advance, just need to place an order, these businessmen will naturally run immediately, you must not underestimate these businessmen, their efficiency is faster than the government I don't know how many times." "Gookie is very familiar with these mall things.
"Well, this matter really can't be delayed, and it needs to mobilize all parties to start it in an all-round way, especially in Jiangnan and Wuhu. Wu Feng had already stood up and paced.
"My lord, according to the information obtained, the Japanese have made a move on the Dodons, and it is estimated that the target is the Cook Islands of the Dodons, but the news from the interior of the Dodons has reacted, it seems that the Japanese army has also carried out emergency mobilization, and the number is very large, and even the reserve soldiers are beginning to recruit, this seems to be a little wrong, do the Cook Islands need to use so many land forces? The number of Dodon troops on the Cook Islands is not large. By the way, Gu Ji fed back the news he had just gotten to Wu Feng.
"Oh?Army Mobilization?Reserve?" Wu Feng was also surprised, the ambitions of the Japanese people were well known, but the large-scale mobilization of the army, what did it mean? Landing? Wu Feng carefully pondered the strangeness here, "Are the main forces of the army of the Dodon people now gathered on the border with Yanyun County?"
"Well, there is intelligence that the Poole people have a close relationship with the Dodons during this time, and it is estimated that the Poole people are persuading the Dodons to send troops south, but the Doton people are still hesitating, and maybe they are still trading with Situ Tai. According to his own intelligence, Guji analyzed, although he didn't hit, it was not far off.
Wu Feng's heart moved, "Gu Ji, you said that this widow candidate will do it at this time, how will the Dodon people deal with it?
Gu Ji pondered for a moment before saying, "What do you mean that Situ Tai and the Japanese people colluded to deal with the pressure of the Duotun people?"
Shaking his head, Wu Feng frowned and muttered: "Situ Tai will not be unaware of the character and surname of the Japanese people, but in this case, Situ Tai is not a good person in the first place, and he may also make this kind of dangerous move, but I prefer that they are just a temporary transaction, and it is not a bad deal to lead the woe of the Japanese people to Doton." โ
