Chapter 297 Youzhou, a lot of businessmen
Looking at Shen Laosan's resolute face, Yang Dong didn't bother to persuade anything.
Anyway, Shen Laosan has never played cards according to routines. Even if you marry a wine lady, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.
He was thinking like this, but he saw Shen Laosan suddenly have a strange smile on his face and came over.
Yang Dong instinctively shrunk his arm and asked in surprise:
"Shen Laosan, do you have anything else?"
"Yang Gong, since we finally met, I, Shen Laosan, as a subordinate, should naturally express myself."
"That's it, how about I ask Yang Gong to go to Wucheng and find a Qinglou to play?"
When Yang Dong heard this, his face couldn't help but show a look of yearning.
Speaking of which, since he left Youzhou, he hasn't been close to a woman for a long time.
The closest thing I got to touching a woman was when I changed Yan Yue's clothes. But at that time, the Houjin people were fighting among themselves, and Yang Dong really had no interest in doing business.
Thinking about it now, he only felt a pang of regret in his heart.
Just imagine watching Houjin's soldiers fighting infighting while cleaning up Houjin's princess.
Gee...... It's a good feeling to think about!
Thinking of this, Yang Dong's heart couldn't help but waver. He immediately looked at Shen Laosan and said:
"Since this is a piece of your heart, then Ben Gong is better to be respectful than to obey his fate."
"Shen Laosan, lead the way."
"Gotcha!"
Shen Laosan shouted beautifully, and immediately drove the donkey cart and walked at the front of the convoy.
Speaking of which, the distance between Wucheng and the horse farm is actually not too far.
According to the layout of the Great Zhou, between Wucheng and the horse farm, it should be a military facility for an offensive and defensive alliance.
However, the attack of the Golden Iron Cavalry was too fierce at the beginning. So much so that the entire Wucheng is in a position that is difficult to protect itself, and it is completely unable to divide the troops to rescue the horse farm.
It is precisely because of this that everyone can only watch the horse farm fall into the hands of the Houjin people.
After leaving the horse farm, the convoy of Yang Dong and his party merged into the official road.
At this moment, Yang Dong was surprised to find that there were many more people on the official road than he expected.
Coming and going, it can be found that there are still a lot of caravans, walking in the territory of Youzhou.
Seeing this, Yang Dong couldn't help but feel a touch of curiosity in his heart.
He looked at Zhuqing and asked:
"Zhuqing, now that the war is raging in Youzhou, why are there so many caravans on the official road? Aren't they afraid that they will be ransacked by Houjin's soldiers? ”
Hearing this question, Zhu Qing's cheeks showed a look of thought.
After a moment of silence, he spoke slowly:
"Maybe it's because Youzhou is the border of the three kingdoms. And if you want to lead to the territory of the Hu barbarians, Youzhou is also the only way to go. ”
"Even if Da Zhou and Houjin are at war, Houjin shouldn't break the caravan. Otherwise, they would have offended the wrath of the people! ”
Hearing this, Yang Dong bowed slightly.
But suddenly saw Shen Laosan shaking his head with disdain and said:
"No, no, this brother is probably not a businessman, is he? If so, this understanding is acceptable. ”
Hearing this, Zhu Qing was not happy at that time.
Although he is not a businessman, over the years, he has traveled from south to north, and he boasts that he has seen a lot of the world, so he can't help but retort:
"Shen Laosan, what do you mean? Isn't it true that what I said doesn't make sense? ”
Hearing this, Shen Laosan smiled and nodded, and then shook his head again.
"Brother Zhuqing, you are only half right, and it is a very unimportant half."
When Zhu Qing heard this, a look of disbelief immediately appeared on his face.
Shen Laosan didn't give him a chance to speak, and continued to explain to himself:
"Actually, it's not the same thing you think. I dare to say that at least eighty percent of the caravans on this official road actually came out to sell grain. ”
As soon as these words came out, Yang Dong, Zhu Qing and the others suddenly changed their faces.
"Selling grain? Didn't the Great Zhou strictly prohibit the sale of grain and grass to Houjin? ”
Hearing Yang Dong's inquiry, Shen Laosan's face couldn't help but glow with a hint of pride.
I didn't expect that one day, I would be able to solve Yang Gong's doubts.
He coughed lightly and began to explain earnestly.
"As the saying goes, under the heavy reward, there will be brave men. What's going on in Da Zhou now, I naturally don't have to say anything when I think about it. ”
"And yet...... Yang Gong, you should also know that in fact, Da Zhou is not short of food at all. ”
Hearing this, Yang Dong just groaned slightly, and then nodded slightly.
Da Zhou is short of food, but in fact, there is no shortage of food. Take the original Luoju as an example, when the city encountered floods, so it was extremely short of food. However, Shuzhou, next door to Luozhou, is in the season of harvesting grain.
Therefore, there is so much grain in Shuzhou that it is impossible to eat. Even if it is to provide for the whole of Luoju, it is not a difficult task.
However, there is a shortage of food in Luozhou, why is this?
This is because of the problem of the Great Zhou system. The Great Zhou is divided into 36 states, and each of these states has its own state pastor.
There is a competitive relationship between these state pastors. If they want to return to the capital and enter the loyalty of power, they must govern their own state in an orderly manner.
Of course, there are also intricate interests. Therefore, he wanted to use the grain in Shuzhou to relieve the disaster in Luozhou. Even if the empress personally ordered it, it would not have any obvious effect.
The reason why Yang Dong was able to transfer grain from Shuzhou at the beginning was nothing more than the simplest and rude Eli Xu Zhi.
Directly use the silver to buy the grain in Shuzhou, as long as the state pastor of Shuzhou is not brain-dead, he will be happy to facilitate this deal.
No one has a hard time with silver, and besides, in addition to silver, they can also gain a wave of fame.
All in all, the so-called hustle and bustle in the world is profitable, and that's it.
Thinking of this, Yang Dong also guessed in his heart why there were so many caravans on the official road in Youzhou.
From a certain point of view, these caravans are clearly the supply lines of the Houjin people.
As long as the Houjin people have no problem with their brains, they will definitely not move these caravan people.
Otherwise, how is it different from digging one's own grave?
"I think Yang Gong has already guessed the truth."
Shen Laosan rubbed his stomach, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.
He suddenly stepped forward and came to Yang Dong's side. Then he lowered his voice and said with a wicked smile:
"Yang Gong, there is one more thing that I can't tell you."
"Does Yang Gong know what is the most famous in Wucheng?"
Hearing this, Yang Dong's eyes couldn't help but reveal a trace of curiosity.
"I want to hear about it."
"Wucheng, and even the entire Youzhou, there are many foreigners. Qin people, Houjin people, Hu people, barbarian ......"
"All in all, Wucheng can experience feelings that other places can't experience."
Speaking of this, Shen Laosan's mung bean-sized eyes narrowed slightly, and his face was full of obscenity.
Some people died, but not completely......
