0566 Miserably

After Li Tai agreed to Yingchuan's aid, Wang Yuanxun stayed here to wait for the supplies to be raised, while Guo Xian returned to Yingchuan first to organize people to receive transportation. Zhao Gang returned with him, summoned his subordinates who stayed in Henan to come to Jingzhou, and escorted the people of Henan by the way.

Since he agreed, Li Tai was not perfunctory, and even began to arrange the dispatch of materials.

Although it is not known how long it will take for the Eastern Wei army to arrive in Yingchuan, it is expected that it will not be too late. The time of Nanliang's crushing defeat at Hanshanyan was nearly a month later than Li Tai's memory, and the next battles were also postponed.

Historically, after Hou Jing's defeat and went south, the Eastern Wei army recuperated for a few months before launching an attack on Yingchuan. But for now, even if it will be postponed for a while, it will definitely not be later than May.

As the season enters May, the fields begin to harvest various crops. Wang Sizheng's ability to defend the city, the Eastern Wei army is deeply instructed, and will definitely not leave too much time for this tower defense master to harvest and accumulate war materials, even if the soldiers have not received sufficient recuperation, they will definitely form an encirclement of Yingchuan before the harvest of the fields.

It's early April, so there's not much time left for them. Even if Li Tai still wanted to transfer grain from Kansai, it seemed that it was too late, so he could only ask Xiangyang for help.

However, Xiao Jing, the king of Yueyang, is willing to fund, and Li Tai is not sure, although the communication between them is quite pleasant, and the embarrassment of commerce has officially begun, but food is a very sensitive commodity after all.

And since Li Tai opened his mouth, what he asked for was by no means as simple as hundreds of thousands of stones, Xiao Jing was willing to do so, and whether he was willing to take this risk, and he had to communicate to find out. If there is a blockage on the Xiangyang side, then we have to find a way from other aspects.

Therefore, while Li Tai sent an envoy to Xiangyang to discuss this matter, he was also thinking of other ways, and he didn't have the energy to deal with other things for a while.

As for Li Xian, the younger brother of Li Qianzhe, who was captured by his subordinates, he arranged for a state official to go to offer condolences and make inquiries, and if there was nothing important, he would send him out of the country as a gift.

After Li Xian had been imprisoned for two days, he was politely sent out of the state by the Jingzhou garrison.

Although he didn't get to see the governor Li Boshan, who was praised by his brother, Li Xian looked like he had gained a lot, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Looking at its affairs, knowing its people, when it comes to the prominent terrain, the north of the city is a fertile plain and river, which is not as good as the peace and health of our villages."

However, this Li Zhou lord guarded the royal family, and I was captured on the spot only after a short time when I entered the country. If you talk about it in this way, it's really embarrassing! No wonder Brother he has to admire this Governor Li, and after I understand it today, I can't help but admire him from the bottom of my heart! ”

Naturally, he didn't know that after Li Tai entered the country, he tied up three powerful families and engaged in the trick of offering rewards on a high platform, so that the villagers developed the habit of reporting immediately whenever they saw any personnel, which was equivalent to having ears and eyes everywhere in the state.

At the same time, in order to ensure that the newly built water conservancy fortifications in various places can function normally, and to ensure that the villagers can strictly abide by the provisions of the "Water Distribution Order", many ranger teams have been dispatched to patrol and monitor.

Li Xian and his entourage rode horses and straddled knives, and they were obviously dressed as outsiders, and they were targeted after entering the country, and it was normal to catch them.

Soon after Li Tai sent the envoy, news soon came from Xiangyang, and the king of Yueyang agreed in principle to Li Tai's request to secondment a batch of grain and grass, but Li Tai needed to find time to go south to meet him in the near future, and the sooner the better.

It was not a meeting between them, and Li Tai didn't think much about it after receiving this return, but said that King Yueyang might want to tell him about the business situation, so he led a group of attachΓ©s to meet him in the south. There may be friendships with each other, but of course, vigilance and precautions are also indispensable.

This time the meeting was in the big boat on the water of the river, although the king of Yueyang was still in a calm and elegant posture, but there was a hint of irritability and anxiety between his eyebrows.

"Boshan can know that this time the goods and goods from the south are highly sought after by the masses......"

After the meeting, King Yue Yang first cheered up and shared the joy of a successful business with Li Tai.

Although the number of commercial goods transported into Xiangyang this time was not large, the quality was not low, and the king of Yueyang did not even arrange personnel to go to other cities to sell, but only placed them in the market in Xiangyang City, and it was sold out in a short time.

Li Tai looked at the counting book handed over by King Yueyang, and he was also quite happy in his heart. After these commodities crossed the Qinling Mountains and arrived in Xiangyang, they could be sold at a price several times higher than that of Chang'an, and the sales efficiency was still very high, which showed that the price of Xiangyang must be profitable compared with other regions in the Southern Dynasties.

The so-called scarcity is expensive, the society of the Southern Dynasties has been stable for a long time, the middle and upper classes have accumulated a lot of wealth, and the desire to consume is very strong, and it is natural that there is a pursuit of Yuanfan treasures.

Although the defeat of Huaibei at the beginning of this year covered the entire situation in the south of the DPRK with a layer of haze, it did not have a great impact on the luxury market, and even had a certain role in promoting it.

Because these cherished luxury goods are not only simple consumer goods, but can also be used as investment hedging commodities in some cases. If there is any turmoil, it is better to carry a gold plate in your arms and a ball of spices in your boots than to carry thousands of iron coins on your back.

Of course, if there is a real war, social unrest, and the destruction of productivity, it will inevitably affect the prices of these flashy commodities, and it will take a cycle to recover the market.

However, judging from the experience of the Southern Dynasties in the past change of dynasty, although there were chaos, the problems were not big, mainly concentrated in the struggle for power and profit and the replacement of the upper elites, and the social vitality recovered relatively quickly. But this mentality is clearly overly optimistic for the unrest that will follow.

In any case, it is a fact that the sales of these goods are booming, and it is foreseeable that those who participate in them will also be able to quickly accumulate a large amount of social wealth in the future.

Li Tai estimated that King Yueyang should also be because of this, so he happily agreed to him to ask for food, but in any case, this was a great favor for him, so he sincerely thanked him: "Thank you for your generosity in borrowing goods, solving my urgent needs, and I will be doubly grateful when I am calm in the future!" ”

"Between me and Boshan, how can I still use cheesy rhetoric. All kinds of affection, the heart will know. Xiangyang Zhucang Chen Gu brown rice is nearly 80,000 stones, which can be shipped north at any time. ”

King Yueyang first made a heroic statement, and then looked directly at Li Tai, and Li Tai was a little hairy in his eyes.

After a while, King Yueyang sighed sadly again: "I lost my temper for a while, please forgive Boshan." Since the young governor, when he was in his family and country, he has been in various positions, and there are many people who have met and worked with him during the journey, but there are few people who can talk to Boshan.

Boshan, you are young and outstanding, heroic, all the people I have known for many years, only Boshan is the most unforgettable for me. You and I conspire with each other, but also make me proud, there are these things can boast that the Xiangyang years are not wasted, even if the sky is different in the coming year, you can also keep this and imagine the memory of the ......"

"Why did the king say that?"

Li Tai was originally a little shy because of the ambiguity of King Yueyang's words, but the more he listened, the more he felt that something was wrong, as if he was about to explain what was going on, and he was a little curious and nervous in his heart, and he asked with a concerned face.

When King Yueyang heard this, he sighed again, and then said: "Yongfu is a big town in our country, and when I was appointed here in the old years, there were many criticisms in the country, and I was afraid that I was young and shallow and incompetent. Since I entered the town, I have worked diligently, forgetting to sleep and eat, and I only hope to live up to the supreme use.

At the beginning of the year, the people of the state gathered in front of the government to praise this virtue and politics, and they knew each other with Boshan friendly, and they worked together to create a business plan for both sides, so that the people of their respective states were rich and happy, and formed a harmonious border relationship unprecedented since the partition of the two sides. However, I didn't think of it...... There are people in the country who slander me and want to take my state! ”

"Is that so?"

When Li Tai heard this, he was also shocked, and he quickly thought in his mind, could it be that he had missed some key information?

When King Yueyang saw Li Tai's shocked look, he smiled bitterly and said, "Although I am far away in Yongfu, there is no lack of closeness in the court. The DPRK and China have already intended to use Zhang Zhang, the assassin of Xiangzhou, to enter the government on my behalf, and the edict will be issued soon.

Boshan, you may not know the characters in our country, although Zhang Zhang is a close relative of the clan family, has always boasted of being clear, but in fact, he is cunning and the most greedy, once he enters the state on my behalf, not only the people of the state will be abused by its tyranny, but the work between you and me will be difficult to guarantee! ”

When Li Tai heard this, he had already remembered the origin of this matter and had already understood King Yueyang's intentions, so he said in a deep voice: "I really don't know who Zhang Zhang is. The king is governing the government of virtue, and I have seen it with my own eyes, and I really can't bear to die in your country. Is there any room for remedy for the king? If there is a place for me, I am obligated to do so! ”
