Not only is he worried about a sudden war, but he has no food to use on his side.

The most important thing is to give the food to Sima Yue, what if the two sides turn their faces in the future?

You must know that Jingzhou and Sima Yue have never been close allies.

The relationship between the two is even worse than the relationship with Tuoba Xianbei.

Sima Yue's heart in Jingzhou is not dead, this can be glimpsed from his placement of Sima Rui in Jiangdong.

Let's just say that, if there is a chance, or Sima Yue has free his hand, he will definitely covet Jingzhou.

Jingzhou has a population of 4 million, the people are rich and the army is strong, and any ambitious prince will not sit idly by.

Yao Yu naturally understood the truth that everyone said, this is not, he smiled slightly, waved his hand to signal everyone not to worry, and then said: "Everyone, listen to me first, although Sima Yue is destined to be our enemy." But have you ever thought about it, if Sima Yue was defeated by Liu Yuan. It's time for us to directly face Liu Yuan's pressure. Now, it's not time for us to fight Liu Yuan to the death. I don't think it's a loss to exchange a little food for time. What's more, we don't use that good food. After cleaning up these families, isn't there an extra million stones of stale grain in the mansion? These old grains are also put away, and in the end, there is only one way left to waste. That being the case, it is better to give it to Sima Yue. Get more resources from Sima Yue's hands. That's what it means to maximize waste. What do you say? ”

When everyone heard Yao Yu's this, they were a little confused.

Also, there is this statement.

"Then my lord, give Chen Liang to Sima Yue, is he willing?"

"Why not? I have already negotiated with him that 500 stone of old grain will be exchanged for 100 catties of iron. Sima Yue controlled Hedong, and most of the salt and iron in the world came out of this place. Using some of the abundant resources in his hands in exchange for food that we can't digest here, Sima Yuele's fart is upside down. ”

Hearing Yao Yu say this, everyone nodded thoughtfully.

If the old grain is exchanged for iron ore, then this cooperation is profitable.

Anyway, the old grain is also put away, and you can't eat it, so it's better to cooperate with Sima Yue for reciprocity.

Thinking like this, everyone nodded: "That's no problem." ”

Yao Yule said: "Yes, how could I make a loss-making transaction." Okay, Suo Hong, you go and prepare and sort out all the old grain. Exchange iron ore with Sima Yue as soon as possible. ”

Suo Hong said yes and returned to the class, and when the meeting was over, he probably went without stopping.

Seeing this situation, Yongji next to him couldn't help but open his mouth and said, "My lord, there is one more thing." ”

Yao Yu looked back at him: "What's wrong?" ”

Yong Ji sighed: "Actually, there is nothing else, that is, Lianghu came back with us this time, also for food." ”

"Also for food?" Yao Yu was stunned.

Yong Ji nodded: "Yes, Tuoba Yilu said that he would exchange war horses for food." It's better to come more, in his words, he lives in Mobei very poorly, and the north has been in turmoil for many years, so he and his subordinates don't have a chance to supply at all. Now, most of their lives are supported by livestock. ”

Yao Yu pinched his chin and thought for a while: "Do war horses exchange food, but according to Yongji, there is not much edible food available in our hands." Suo Hong, do you have any specific data? ”

Suo Hong nodded: "The edible good grain in the treasury is about 700,000 stones. Among them, the maximum expenditure is 500,000 stones, and it is impossible to spend more. Otherwise, if something really happens, we won't be able to send troops at all. ”

Yao Yu opened his arms and said worriedly: "This is really a headache, what is 500,000 stones enough for." Business is not doing well. ”

As he spoke, he had no choice but to say, "That's it, wait for the autumn harvest in a few days." Buy some food from the common people first. No matter how you say it, you have to get together a million stones, or you really can't do it. ”

Suo Hong was surprised: "Jun Hou, are you kidding?" One million stones, let's buy it with our own money, why? ”

"First, Liu Yuan has taken Yecheng, and his power is gradually expanding. If you want to contain the north in the future, Tuoba Xianbei's help is indispensable. Second, Tuoba Yilu and we have been working together for a long time, and we are familiar with each other. In addition, in the Battle of Mobei, Murong Xianbei suddenly appeared to disrupt the situation, allowing Tuoba Xianbei to run away in vain with the results that Tuoba Xianbei should have swallowed. It is equivalent to saying that Tuoba Yilu has worked hard for so long and has not received anything. In this case, he will inevitably lack the food in our hands. The most important thing is that he holds the resources of the war horse, which we need very much. Of course, I know that cavalry maintenance is expensive. However, there must always be cavalry, otherwise if we go north in the future, we will be very limited in terms of mobility. Counting the war horses they brought back this time, we can build up a cavalry team of about 11,000, which is far from the 20,000 in my plan. ”

After saying so much in one breath, everyone at the scene was silent, you look at me, I look at you, and no one said anything.

Yao Yu looked around and continued: "Of course, I didn't say this for Tuoba Yilu to say good things, but mainly for ourselves. One million stone of grain, from Tuoba Yilu can be exchanged for war horses, there are many benefits, for example, as Yong said just now, the livestock of their people in Mobei is raised. ”

"Livestock?" Everyone was stunned.

Yao Yuah nodded: "That's right, since we plan to raise livestock in Jingzhou, it is not enough to rely on Xuan Ce to hunt them." Otherwise, I don't know when it will be able to be raised. At this time, it is necessary to bring in some breeding males and breeding females from the outside. Tuoba Xianbei, as an ethnic group living in Mobei all the year round, must be much more skilled in animal husbandry than us. We took out a million stone of grain at once, and Tuoba Yilu must have been moved. In this case, wouldn't it be much more convenient to ask him for some breeding mothers and males? ”

Hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that Yao Yu was waiting here.

Let's just say, Yao Yu will not do anything to suffer.

He must have his own plans to collect so much food, and it seems that he was too worried about it before.

Seeing that everyone nodded, Yao Yu smiled and clapped his hands: "Okay, okay, don't be in a daze." In the next three years, Jingzhou will not participate in any war if it can not participate in any war. Our specific plan is to vigorously develop the university and the animal husbandry industry in the state, recuperate with the people, and encourage the people's livelihood to farm. Strive to make Jingzhou far beyond other places within three years and become the richest existence. Of course, the training of the fighters cannot be delayed. In three years, I want to make all the soldiers in Jingzhou wear armor. Have faith? ”
