But this is not the problem that worries Situ Tai the most, and the biggest problem in front of Situ Tai is still the food and financial problems. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoYanyun, like the rest of the Eastern Continent, has a poor harvest in the whole county, and the grain reserves in various places have been exhausted, if it were not for the large-scale smuggling transactions between merchants from all over the country and the Japanese people at sea, I am afraid that the problem would be much more serious.

Situ Tai could only turn a blind eye to Yan Yun and even the blatant smuggling of grain by merchants in the East China Sea at Leng Qian's suggestion, and at some times, he had to import large quantities of grain through these merchants to make up for the shortage of his own military rations and reserve grain.

Fortunately, in recent years, the Japanese have been in good weather, grain harvest year after year, the Japanese government and the people have stored a large amount of grain, and now the Japanese have seized Kamchatka and the treasure island, and the rapid expansion of military power also makes them urgently need to import a large number of iron, copper, coal, wood, tung oil, lacquer, horses and other strategic materials.

After the Japanese invaded the Ryukyu Islands, Kamchatka, and Treasure Island, and then raided their own navy, Situ Tai had ordered a sea ban within the area under his control, and strictly prohibited the coastal areas from trading goods with the Japanese people, but this did not have the desired effect. First of all, the volume of transactions between Quanzhou and the Japanese people under the control of Situ Yuan rose sharply, quickly replacing Dengzhou, Jinling, and Yuhang as the busiest ports for trade with the Japanese people, and the Milanes and the Nanyang countries also participated in the trade with the Japanese people, and the Nanyang Alliance even became the largest buyer of the Japanese people to sell people into slavery in the occupied areas including Doton and Tanghe, and a large number of civilians were transported by the Japanese to the countries of the Nanyang Alliance for dumping, which made the slave traders of the Nanyang Alliance smile.

And this kind of behavior also provoked great repercussions in the Tang River Empire, which also made the conservative food shortage once wanted to open the sea ban Situ Tai had to continue to maintain the sea ban, had to secretly greatly relax the control of the sea ban, through grain smuggling, a large number of strategic materials into the Japanese land at the same time, the Japanese grain also poured in, greatly alleviating the problem of food shortage in their occupied areas, and the grain in the southern coastal areas of the Central Continent also began to enter their own territory through the South Sea Alliance, although the price rose a lot, but objectively it really reduced the pressure of food shortage。

The grain problem has indeed been effectively alleviated in the coastal areas, but it still exists in the hinterland, especially in the areas where water transportation is difficult to reach and the transportation conditions are poor, and the price paid for the alleviation of the grain pressure is the further enhancement of the military strength of the Japanese people, especially the military strength at sea, and the fact that their own finances are close to bankruptcy. The wave of protests by the merchants in the Jiangnan control area also made him dare not raise taxes easily, and the outflow of a large amount of industrial and commercial funds and business owners also made Situ Tai merchants brainless, so that after the Poole people followed the example of the Kaman people in Montenegro and Longquan, the Yunzhong Mansion was unexpectedly unexpected, and even Situ Tai himself deliberately avoided this issue, and his existing finances were simply not enough to solve the current mess of Yunzhong Mansion.

The merchants of Donghai and Jiangnan seem to have colluded in a posture, not only frantically transferring funds and personnel, but also invariably and politely rejecting their own loan requests, which is clearly a provocation, but before he ascends the throne, he does not dare to make any more noises to hinder his plan to ascend the throne. Borrowing money from Yan Yun and the land nobles of the East China Sea who have always supported them? These land nobles are willing, but this is not a small amount, and they are also powerless. There are probably only Situ Biao and Li Wufeng outside, but Situ Biao is now the time to expand his power with all his might, but he is afraid that he will not agree to borrow money from him, and Li Wufeng, this guy is pointing to the east and west, I heard that he is making a lot of money in Yinde'an, although he has a lot of money, will he lend it to himself?

Sometimes Situ Tai also thought that Suo surnamed Xin was looking for some excuses to attack those big businessmen who were unwilling to cooperate with him, and he didn't believe that they couldn't come up with the money, but this was a matter that risked the world's condemnation, and it was easy to arouse the hostility and resistance of the industrial and commercial circles around the world, and the gains outweighed the losses, so after several considerations, Situ Tai never dared to take this step.

Glancing at the old man who was still meticulously checking the information sent from various places, Situ Tai sighed lightly in his heart, Leng Qian is quite good at analyzing the situation and military affairs, but he is not very good at handling government affairs, and he alone cannot support the entire political structure under his command, and what he lacks most in his hands is the talent who can take care of the regular government affairs in the control area for himself, and now he controls the thirteen most important prefectures and counties in the eastern part of the empire, but there is no senior talent under his command who can really shoulder this heavy responsibility for himself, and a large number of prefectures and counties are controlled by their own people in addition to the positions that are too important and must be controlled by their own peopleThe majority of officials are still untouched and continue to exercise their powers, so how can such jurisdiction be truly in place and effective? Talents, who are now dreaming about this question, where can they find talented people who can serve them faithfully?

"Your Highness, the gentry of Yunzhong Mansion have united some squires of Yanyun County to petition His Highness, asking His Highness to send someone to take over Yunzhong as soon as possible, restore normal order in Yunzhong, and maintain the territorial integrity of the empire. Leng Qian frowned and sorted out a large stack of letters and presented them to his lord.

"Hmph, at this time, if you want me to recover Yunzhong Mansion, what will I use to feed these refugees and displaced people? The Poole people slapped their butts and left, leaving behind a mess, and they wanted me to take over, but there was no way! Who wants to take over, who goes! I won't go anyway!" As soon as he mentioned Yunzhong Situ Tai, he was furious, and hundreds of thousands of refugees not only poured into the surrounding places such as Beiping and Laizhou, but also those squires who had escaped shouted everywhere, putting pressure on themselves, demanding that they take over as soon as possible, pacify the victims and refugees, and restore normal production and living order. But now, where does he have the extra strength to estimate that even the Poole people can't hold on to the remote clouds, how can he casually fall into this quagmire?

"Your Royal Highness, but these guys have jointly petitioned Yanjing, and the media in Yanjing have begun to pay attention to this matter, and now at this critical time, public opinion guidance is very important, once instructed by people with ulterior motives, public opinion is likely to cause great damage to our reputation. Leng Qian knew the difficulty here, and reminded his lord with some worry.

"What should you do, then? Where do we have extra money and food to help them, and once we take over all the responsibilities, we will carry all the responsibilities, it is better to pretend not to know now, and then push them clean. Situ Tai also knew that things were not simple, but he was shy in his pocket, and he really couldn't do anything about it.

"Your Highness, either we can find a way to squeeze out a little bit of military rations and reserve grains, or we can only find other ways to block those media in Yanjing. Leng Qian is also aware of his own financial situation, so he can only adopt a flexible method.

"Military rations and reserve grain must not be moved, as a lesson from the past, the Kaman people's southern expeditionary army is now in trouble and was attacked by Li Wufeng because the logistics and food cannot keep up, we must not repeat the mistakes of the past, the army is now our only pillar, this is needless to say. But I don't know what the other methods you mean?" Situ Tai had actually estimated the other methods that the other party said, but he wanted the other party to say it.

"What else can I do, I can only give up a little money and mobilize some connections to shut up the mouths of several major mainstream media, as long as it can drag on for a month or two, His Royal Highness can smoothly take over the throne, and everything will be much easier to do after everything is justified. Leng Qian smiled slightly bitterly, only this method can be used at the moment, as for whether there will be any chaos and mistakes in the middle, it doesn't matter.

"Well, that's all there is to it. In this way, you arrange a competent person to deal with it, and you must not make mistakes, and there is no room for mistakes in this bone joint. Uh, besides, Leng Lao, do you think we can find a way to borrow some money from the businessmen and financiers in Yanjing, and we have to survive these two months. ”

Situ Tai knew that since he controlled the Jiangnan in the East China Sea, he had greatly increased the tax rate and the gold had greatly shaken the confidence of the industrial and commercial class in the southeast, but in that situation at that time, he had no choice, a large number of army expansions needed financial support, and the Yanyun he controlled did not have much foundation, so he had to stretch out his hand to the merchants, knowing that it was killing chickens and eggs, and he had to do it, and now if he wanted to borrow money from the merchants' pockets, it would be even more difficult, and he could only hope that he might win the battle for the throne with the help of the good news that he might finally win the battle for the throne from the Yanjing merchants to solve the current urgent need。

"Your Highness, I'm afraid this is not easy, which of those merchants in Yanjing is not inextricably linked with the upper echelons of the empire? They are much more snobbish than those merchants in the Jiangnan and East China Seas, and the current situation is unclear, if you want to borrow money from them with empty mouths and white teeth, the old man is not at all sure, unless His Highness can offset it with something more realistic, maybe there is still some hope. Leng Qian is a little embarrassed, this kind of empty gloves white wolf method is not unusable, but it must be backed by the strength behind it, if a businessman is optimistic about his lord, then naturally there is no need to say more, but if they think that this transaction is too risky, then they will never use their own money to waste, the current expedient can only be exchanged for what is controlled in their hands, and use huge profits to attract businessmen's gambling surnames, success is a big profit, defeat is a heavy loss.

"You mean #8226;#8226;#8226;#8226;#8226;?" Situ Tai's face became a little ugly, as if he had thought of something.
