Chapter 70: What do you want
"What the gentleman said is very true..."
Si Mo's fingers tapped lightly on the table, "Now Niu Ben is dead, and the Tuzhai and Jinwu have also broken off contact..."
"Seven days... Up to seven days... The Golden Crow will send troops to fetch food..."
Si Mo turned his head to look at Zhou Wenbo, "Does Mr. have a plan in mind?" ”
"Care..."
Zhou Wenbo put down the fan, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.
"If you want to deal with such a large amount of grain in a short time, you must find a good buyer..."
"Not only does this buyer have to pay a starting price, but it also needs to be able to keep it, and it's better not to be too far away..."
"It's too far, and transportation is also a big problem, and the longer the route, the more difficult it will be..."
Zhou Wenbo shook his head, "Looking at it this way, it's hard to find buyers!" ”
"What then?"
Yun Shu poured a sip of tea, and he was also worried.
I thought I would suddenly get this large amount of food, but I was quite excited to think about it.
But after such an analysis by Si Mo and Mr. Zhou, she found out that it is one thing to get this, and it is another thing whether she can keep it.
This is the territory of Jinxi, and further north is the territory of Jinwu, guarding such two battle maniacs, war maniacs, just want to develop obscenely, and people don't give them a chance!
But if they really let them give up such a large amount of food, they are really reluctant...
It's like just winning a lottery and not claiming it yet, only to find that you owe a lot of debt...
Troublesome!
Yun Shutuo's cheeks crawled on the table, his worried eyebrows knotted.
Si Mo couldn't help but rub Yun Shu's furry little head, "Don't worry! Mr. Zhou only said that this buyer was not easy to find, but he did not say that he could not find it..."
"He must have had an idea in his mind when he said this, and listen to him..."
After Si Mo finished speaking, he didn't forget to glance at Zhou Wenbo expressionlessly, and the latter shrugged innocently.
It's his pot!
"This buyer is also easy to find, isn't there a ready-made one!"
Zhou Wenbo smiled, stopped selling guanzi, and dipped his fingers in the tea stains and gently wrote a king character on the table.
"Liaocheng, Wang's family..."
"The actual rulers of the three cities of Liaocheng, Yongcheng, and Kangcheng are all from the Wang family, and these three cities are all comparable to Guancheng."
"The three cities are in hand, and the Wang family is the only person in the Guan who can take this batch of grain from Jin Wu and Jin Xi."
"Liaocheng is less than 800 miles away from here, as long as you negotiate with the Wang family, it is not difficult to transport this batch of grain to Liaocheng within seven days."
Zhou Wenbo took a sip of tea with a smile, "Now why don't you think about what we want from the Wang family?" ”
"Gold and silver treasures, land slaves or... official position..."
"Position?"
Yun Shu immediately sat up straight, "The Wang family has such a great ability?" Can the official position be exchanged for food casually? ”
"In the past, it was naturally impossible, but now it is different from the past, the official position... Snort..."
Zhou Wenbo sneered lightly, "Here you go, you have to keep it!" ”
Now that the Central Plains is faintly in chaos, the major clans occupy their own territory, and the rebel armies have sprung up one after another.
The Jin Dynasty was too busy to take care of itself, and the princes went their own way, and the army of the Jin Dynasty had lost its ferocity after more than ten years of pampering.
Half of the Jin Dynasty's army was in the north, and the most ferocious army in the north was in the hands of Jin Crow and Jin Xi.
These two are ambitious, both have the heart to ascend the throne and become emperors, and sooner or later there will be a war between the two...
That's their chance.
Jin Wu and Jin Xi have been at odds for many years, even if they know that the Wang family has obtained this batch of grain, it is inevitable that they will not join forces to snatch it.
Perhaps, when one party snatches, the other party will stumble...
In this situation, eighty percent of the Wang family will accept this batch of grain.
This grain is too important for the Northland today.
Months-long famine, combined with the current plague, has left the Northland empty.
The population of the Northland has plummeted, and it is impossible to guarantee the luxurious life of the clan.
It takes people to defend the house and fight the war, it takes people to collect conscription, and it takes people to farm and breed...
In order to maintain their rule and continue to enjoy a life of luxury, those great families must stand up to help the people.
But where does the food come from?
The people were miserable because of the looting of the golden soldiers, and they had no food in their hands at all.
The landlords and gentry had grain in their hands, but their relationship with the clan was intertwined, and it was inevitably difficult to collect.
Although the south was not affected, the distance was long, and the price of grain transported to it would definitely rise to sky-high prices.
Who's going to pay for it?
Family?
No kidding!
They will only increase the conscription, increase taxes layer by layer, and recover hundreds or thousands of times the money spent, and in the end it is the people who suffer!
And judging from the current situation, who is willing to take out such a large amount of grain?
Isn't it fragrant to keep it in your own hands for a rainy day?
Why bother to increase the strength of your opponent for the sake of a few chests of gold and silver?
Therefore, when this batch of grain is used well, they will be able to get enough benefits from the royal family.
"I want an official position!"
Yun Shu slapped the table and stood up, "At the very least, I have to be the lord of a county!" ”
The essence of obscene development is Gou.
But the premise of all this is to have a place of your own!
On the premise of this place, slowly develop and expand yourself, farm and accumulate grain, and climb the science and technology tree step by step... Development is king!
So, it's so important to have a place of your own, it's the root of everything!
Although rebellion can also occupy the land as the king, this does not conform to Gou's concept and is too eye-catching.
The official position is much better.
First of all, this is officially recognized, as long as you have a good relationship, the boss will definitely not look for trouble for no reason.
Even if there is a rebel army attacking, it is not impossible to ask for help and get some benefits from it...
There's a lot of room for manoeuvre...
Secondly, with an official position, you can do whatever you want in your own territory, and it is not up to you to decide how to develop!
Don't be too cool!
There's really no better deal!
"Yun Niangzi and I have thought of it together..."
Zhou Wenbo snapped and put away the fan and slapped it on his hand, "We want an official position!" ”
Si Mo frowned lightly and was silent.
The ancestral land of the Si family is in Shu, and his manpower and land are also in Shu.
The main power of the Wang family is in the north, and the official positions that can be given must also be in the north.
The distance between the north and the south is very long, and management is also a problem.
"Now that the official position has been determined, where to take the official position is the focus of our discussion now..."
Zhou Wenbo knocked on the table with his fingers and groaned.
Si Mo's concerns, he also has.
The Si family does not have an official position in Shudi, and belongs to the local gentry family, but because of the generational operation, it is also rich in land.
If you can get an official position near Shudi, it would be really good.
It's their home turf, and it's going to be a lot easier and faster.
Even if it doesn't work...
At the very least, I have to ask the Wang family for a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and not attracting attention...
It doesn't matter much if it's remote or barren, as long as they are given enough time to develop, he is confident that he will create an "impregnable" city!
And then use it as a base to expand outward...
