"The caravan is also the grain transport team of Xiangcheng. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info They make four or five trips a year, and if I remember correctly, they have to carry 30,000 stone of grain each time. The late night in the palace was extremely quiet, Han Feng sat with Zhan Zhongqi and Li Jiding, he lowered his voice to speak, but the two of them could still hear clearly. There is only Wanrou who guards outside this side hall, her current clothes are far more gorgeous than ordinary palace maids, because she does not have to worry about food and clothing, she is carefree in the palace after leaving the palace, she is finally a little plumper than when she was in the holy city. Now she stands gracefully, quiet and calm, no longer has the color of wind and dust, only after going through hardships and dangers, she can enjoy the satisfaction and happiness of a dull life.

No one dares to bully Wanrou anymore, not even to despise it. After all, Wanrou is surrounded by the new queen's pet, the green python. This is an intriguing match, but it is enough to make all the "ears" in the temple who are not at ease stay away.

There is a large round table in the middle of the hall, and there is a huge map on the table, the map is Fengguan Mangcheng in the north, Guhe in the south, Qiongdan Mountain in the west, Xiji Mountain in the east, and the Xiangcheng is in the middle of the south.

This map depicts the surrounding areas of Xiangcheng, and the mountains and rivers depicted are extremely detailed, but Han Feng is almost lying on the table at this time, holding a charcoal pen in his hand, and is carefully tracing the line in his memory between the mountains and rivers.

The line that the grain convoy passes through every year.

"I followed them once, and I also walked through the second half of the journey. This time, the grain transport team set off from Huadu in Windy City two and a half months ago, when there was no accident in Xiangcheng, and now, they have probably come here. The charcoal pen in Han Feng's hand stopped in Fangyu Village next to Eagle Mountain.

That was the starting point of his entry into Elephant City, and it was also the starting point of traveling with the caravan led by "Brother Kun".

Speaking of this, Han Feng turned his head to look at Lijiao, and before he could ask, Lijiao had already spoken: "Don't worry." I've always been clean and tidy. ”

Watching the two of them play dumb riddles, Zhan Zhongqi finally became a little impatient: "What's the matter? Now, don't talk about it, you also pity me for being an old man, and I don't have the energy to guess your teeth." ”

Lijiao giggled and said, "Old ...... Boss?"

This is clearly a joke about Zhan Zhongqi's "eunuch" identity, Zhan Zhongqi is highly respected, and he has no heart to compete with a little girl, Han Feng has no choice but to reach out and pat Liji's head, signaling her to put her mind on business. Han Feng said to Zhan Zhongqi: "Uncle, I'm worried that there will be people in Xiangcheng alive to spread the news outside. Fangyu Village was the last market town where the caravan rested before entering the Elephant City, and it was also the last place where they could get news. ”

"That's why I said that I have always done things cleanly. When I told you that I was going to turn Elephant City into a dead city, hum, if you don't leave one, then you don't leave one!"

Although he didn't like a little girl to say such cruel and cold words, Lijiao's assurance finally made Han Feng breathe a sigh of relief. He shook his head and said, "That'll be fine." Now there is still time to send people to fly pigeons to send a message, so that the Yi people can rob the road halfway and intercept the grain team. ”

Zhan Zhongqi said: "It turns out that you fought this idea. It will take a month to intercept this grain team and send it to us at the earliest, and then transfer it to the Northern Generation, and the time is just right. But they have 30,000 stones in their hands, and we now have 20,000 stones, plus 20,000 stones after the autumn harvest, a total of 70,000 stones, which is still 40,000 yuan short of the agreed 110,000 stones!"

Han Feng straightened up and smiled, "I've thought about it." We bought the grain team half-robbed and half-bought, and we told them that we would continue to ask for the grain in the future. The next batch of grain will be dispatched in two months, and then we will buy more and let them go north directly to Pingsha City, and the time will be about the same without us. In short, the treasury of gold and silver is available to me, and I am not afraid that they will not do business with us?"

Zhan Zhongqi frowned and asked, "But...... The top of these grain teams are all from the Zhan Dynasty, are they reliable?"

Han Feng said: "As long as he is afraid of death, he is reliable." ”

Li Jian added with a smile: "I have put a lot of Gu mothers in the hands of my clansmen, and I want to control the grain team obediently, isn't that a matter of being caught?"

Han Feng said: "What's more, the world is so chaotic now, everyone is in danger, who doesn't want to make a few more friends to protect themselves?"

Zhan Zhongqi couldn't help but smile and sighed, and said, "That's right. However, it is a long road to transport grain from the Huadu of the Windy City to the Northern Dynasty, and it is easy to pass through the imperial capital in the middle. ”

Han Feng said: "If I guessed correctly, this grain team should be the person of King Yue, even if it is not, it always has a relationship." Now that the imperial capital is too busy to take care of itself, where can he have the ability to provoke other strong enemies. I also believe that the people of the food team are not fools, they will have their own pathway. ”

Zhan Zhongqi said: "It's the best, but it's ...... Although it was actually a silver exchange for Lidu, I always felt that it was still a little expensive. These grains are used in the Western Dynasty army, and they can also create a strong army. ”

Han Feng paused before saying, "So I want to keep doing this business with them." To control them with Gu poison is to eventually turn them into our people. Furthermore...... After the second grain was transported to the Northern Dynasty, the grain in the back was continuously sent to Fengguan Mangcheng through the line of Fangyu Village, and at the same time, they also brought the purple gold of Eagle Wu Mountain. ”

Eagle Wushan is rich in purple gold ore, which is a much higher grade iron smelting material than the iron ore in Lidu. However, the mining of purple gold is time-consuming and troublesome, and the annual output is far less than that of iron ore, which is also the reason why purple gold is valuable and is only used by high-ranking officials and nobles. But in any case, this is a great fortune, and it is a good thing to win over officers.

If Han Feng could master the Purple Gold Mine in his hands, he would be able to use it to buy a group of soldiers who were loyal to him. Using Gu poison to control people is not the way of the king after all, if he wants to sit firmly in the seat, he must find a way to maintain long-term stability.

When Zhan Zhongqi heard this, he really relieved his heart: "I didn't misread you. So what are you going to do next?"

Han Feng himself has been thinking about this question. Since Mingxi's whereabouts became unclear, he just wanted to rush to the imperial capital and see her, but the imperial capital was thousands of miles away, how could he say that he would go. Of course, the habitat of the Pegasus is also extremely attractive to him, and the years in the horse farm often appear in front of him, and he expects that he can go to the westernmost point of Daqing Mountain, subdue thousands of Pegasus, and lead them back to Fengguan Mangcheng in style, but his current status is no longer suitable for doing these things with his own hands, not to mention that he is not the best at descending horses.

In his position, he only hopes that everything he has in his hands will not be taken away by others, but after the matter of leaving the capital and military rations has been dealt with, what should he do?
