Chapter 208: Let them be ruthless
Even if everyone needs to give up 30% of the profit, there is still a full 70% profit to be made.
That's a lot of money, at least for everyone.
Leaving the Zhao family's mansion, several major commercial houses began to take action.
They used all the silver in their hands to buy food.
Then send the grain to the place designated by the Zhao family and wait for Zhao Tianhe to send someone to receive it.
In this way, several major commercial houses purchased nearly 2 million stone of grain in Qingshan County.
Several granaries are full, and now they are just waiting for Zhao Tianhe to sell all the grain at a high price, and then earn high profits.
The news of the crazy purchase of grain by families from all over the world soon reached Liu Bowen's ears.
He summarized all the information he had collected in the past few days, and then rushed to the palace to report to Su Mo.
In the study, Zhuge Liang was discussing the follow-up economic development plan with Su Mo, and when he saw Liu Bowen's figure, he got up and was about to leave, Su Mo stopped Zhuge Liang when he saw this.
"What to go, listen together, refer to the reference."
When Zhuge Liang heard this, he immediately stood aside, waiting for Liu Bowen to speak.
The latter was not polite, he was used to such a scene, he had no stage fright, and directly took out the documents and handed them to Su Mo.
"Your Majesty, this is the latest news collected in recent days."
"Families around the country have already purchased eighty percent of the grain, and if they continue to release grain, I'm afraid these families won't be able to eat it."
His words are not unfounded.
Officials from all over the country have already investigated, and the food that the family can receive is only eighty percent.
No matter how much extra food families have, there is no place to put it, and there is no channel to sell.
After listening to his report, Su Mo nodded.
"In that case, then you will be responsible for the rest of the matter."
"Don't leave the family alive."
Liu Bowen shuddered, and then nodded respectfully.
Su Mo's words carried a hint of cold killing intent.
This shows that the rumors spread by the family in the past few days have indeed angered Su Mo.
The latter had intended to exterminate the Maison, and now the Maison's actions have accelerated the process.
Liu Bowen confirmed the details with Su Mo, and then left the palace quickly, he needed to arrange it as soon as possible, so as not to react to the family.
On the other hand, as the families in various places frantically fried grain, some remnants of the army also began to fall into the grass and rebel.
These people were the remnants of the four dynasties, and because they didn't want to join the new army, they each received a severance pay and returned to their hometowns.
This time, because of the family's grain speculation, coupled with the instigation and funding of some families, these troops began to act as mountain bandits, robbing passers-by.
In response to such behavior, Su Mo directly ordered the border army, and all the elite cavalry from all over the country were mobilized.
Once the mountain bandits are discovered, they will be killed and will not be recruited.
Such a command, if placed in the past, would be dehumanizing.
After all, many times, the government's attitude towards mountain bandits is mainly to co-opt and suppress them.
They occupy favorable terrain in various places, and they are constantly pulling with the officials who suppress bandits, and they can always gain the upper hand.
Su Mo knew very well the temperament of these mountain bandits, and the timing and purpose of the appearance of mountain bandits in various places were too obvious.
This made him extremely angry, and he had already given extremely generous terms to the people everywhere.
Even if the family speculates on grain, they will not end up in ruin.
These mountain bandits are completely because their temperament has not changed, and they take the opportunity to raise troops to make trouble.
For these people, Su Mo only has one sentence, kill!
This nationwide plan to suppress bandits was led by Bai Qi, assisted by Zao Wou-ki, Cheng Meng and others.
Because of the issuance of the Soviet-Mexican military order, nearly one million elite cavalry rushed to various places and began a vast national anti-bandit plan.
Bai Qi went straight to the land of Lingnan with 200,000 elites, and there have been 100,000 mountains in Lingnan since ancient times, and the folk customs are extremely strong.
The 200,000 wandering border troops of the previous Great Zhou Dynasty fled directly into the 100,000 mountains of Lingnan.
In the confrontation with the government, bandits broke out throughout the country this time, and Lingnan even gathered an army of 400,000 people.
Be a local authority.
Because there were too few officers and soldiers, Lingnan Mansion was plundered by these mountain bandits at any time.
This situation was naturally taken seriously by Bai Qi, and he directly led the team to come.
Bai got up beside him, and the deputy general Bai Wu stepped forward and asked suspiciously.
"General, it's just 400,000 bandits, why do you need 200,000 troops?"
"Our 50,000 Blood Warriors are enough to wipe out."
Bai Wu's words are not arrogant, the Bloody Iron Rider is the elite of the elite.
50,000 men were enough to resist the 300,000 cavalry of the Huns, and these mountain bandits were no match for them at all.
400,000 mountain bandits were able to block 30,000 cavalry, and the rest were military exploits sent to the door.
Listening to the adjutant general's words, Bai Qi's expression was extremely indifferent.
"This is the last military achievement."
"The source of follow-up military merit is also to suppress bandits, but it is difficult to have such a large-scale anti-bandit operation."
"Let the brothers earn more this time, and the rewards will be more in the future."
For this plan, Bai Qi is very clear in his heart.
Since Su Mo issued a military order to kill all of them, the purpose was to deter bandits across the country.
I'm not Xiao Xuan's hesitant emperor.
If you dare to be bandits, I will dare to kill them, and if the bandits in the back still want to do this, they will weigh the consequences themselves.
This is Su Mo's purpose, and it is also Bai Qi's purpose.
After this crackdown on bandits, there are only a few people who dare to go up the mountain to be cowards across the country.
At that time, it will be difficult to reap military merits.
These soldiers left the war, and the rest of them had very few opportunities to be promoted.
Therefore, Bai Qi didn't want to miss this opportunity, so he transferred all the most elite bloody iron horses under his hands.
In addition, there are 150,000 troops under Cheng Meng.
These soldiers and horses are all existences that Bai Qi likes and recognizes.
Therefore, he is willing to help more, so that he will have no military merits to earn in the future and will not be promoted.
The reason why Lingnan was chosen is not only because it is the most troubled here.
The main reason was that he heard that there was a Xiao family bloodline in Lingnan that escaped into it.
If Bai Qi can kill all these Xiao family bloodlines, it will also be a great achievement.
In addition, from Lingnan, you can also go straight to Shudi, which is also a place where there are many bandits.
According to the current intelligence calculations, everyone from Lingnan to Shudi, they can almost wipe out millions of mountain bandits.
The 200,000 border troops cleared out millions of mountain bandits, which is also a huge military feat, at least for the current people.
When Bai Wu heard this, he naturally understood what Bai Qi meant, he nodded, quickly patted his horse and left, and reported the good news to the rest of the brothers.
Without waiting for him to go far, Bai Qi suddenly stopped Bai Wu and said coldly.
"Let them be ruthless, and don't leave them alive."
"These mountain bandits are all damned people, don't show mercy."
When he said this, Bai Qi's words were full of murderous intent.
The mountain bandits in the land of Lingnan have become lawless.
They burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of evil, just like those Hun cavalry.
The most important thing is that these mountain bandits killed local people, and they are likely to be related to them by blood.
Even so, these mountain bandits are still killers and merciless.
Such brutes deserve to die, and Bai Qi naturally won't leave them any way to live.
As for how much military merit can be shared by the 200,000 army, it depends on their own creation.
