"Great King, the effect of life martial arts is really good and very popular. ”

It was Lu Buwei who spoke, and of course this was Lu Xiaofeng's world. Ever since the portal was established, there has been a connection between the two worlds. At least in terms of the flow of time, it has been consistent.

Four years have passed in the main world, and four years have also passed in Lu Xiaofeng's world.

Four years ago, Lü Buwei had just taken over the Tsing Yi Building, and his main task was to transport grain. In the first year, he transported a full 12 million stone of grain to Daqin. In the second year it became 20 million stones, and in the third year it was 35 million stones.

And this year he plans to make a big news, which is not Yingzheng because of his big news. This is overseas, and the two of them are on a big ship.

The ship, of course, was indispensable for the participation of the craftsmen, and it was an extremely crude cement carrier with an internal combustion engine. Most of the raw materials are cement, which sounds amazing.

Although it is rough and short-lived, it also has great advantages, it can ignore the currents, ignore the direction of the wind, and unlike the wooden sea boats of the past, the wood alone has to be prepared for several years - the production time is extremely short!

"I heard that the king plans to start a unification war this year?"

"Yes, the original plan was for five years, but the goal of the five-year plan was achieved in just four years. Speaking of which, this is thanks to the middle father, if it weren't for the middle father's continuous transportation of grain, Daqin would not have been able to develop so fast. Ying Zheng said seriously.

Today's Daqin, with a total population of only 10 million. Although childbirth has been encouraged in recent years, newborns are newborns after all, and the number of men and women of appropriate age is here, and it will not increase much in a short period of time.

Last year alone, Lü Buwei transported a full 35 million stone of grain, an average of 3.5 stone per person, or 350 catties of grain.

Coupled with the land planted by the people of Daqin themselves, there is already so much food that they can't eat enough. Even if the entire Great Qin had been turned into a large factory, it would not be able to eat so much grain.

In the past four years, every ordinary person has worked hard for the empire under the planning of the Qin officials. They harvested grain and reaped the new money minted by Shaofu.

During the period of conscription, they had three meals a day, and they were paid ten cents a day, and their working hours were only eight hours. By now, the common people have become very fond of the Imperial Conscription.

It can be said that the grain that Lü Buwei brought from this realm was the premise of the great changes in the empire. If you don't have this food, why can you even have three meals a day of conscription?

If the conscription is still in the state of being difficult to eat in the past, where will he have the strength to work? From this point of view, Lü Buwei in front of him is the greatest contributor to the great progress of the empire.

"Last year, the old man delivered 35 million stone of grain, and this year it may be even less. Because the imperial court is not a vegetarian, it was easy to mix in the first year. In the second year, it was also easy when the old man was prepared. ”

And in the third year, the imperial court was actually aware of it. All kinds of overt and covert visits, the old man tried his best and finally did not be exposed. And this year is the fourth year, and the court has long been waiting for the net, as long as the old man appears, he will inevitably be exposed. ”

Today's Ming Dynasty, the south has been developed. Jiangnan has become the big granary of the whole world, and the grain output of the entire Jiangnan is more than that of other places combined!

The overall grain output in the south of the Yangtze River is about 100,000 stones. If there had been a good harvest, it would have been more, but last year it was a natural disaster and the harvest failed.

And last year, Lü Buwei purchased 35 million stone grain in one go through various means, if it wasn't for his early layout and prepared a lot of means, he would have been exposed a long time ago.

But even so, the imperial court has already guessed. And Lu Xiaofeng directly targeted Tsing Yi Lou and Lu Buwei because of this matter.

"And it's not just a food problem, in order to buy food in recent years, Tsing Yi Lou has begun to sell illicit salt. With the technology provided by the king, the elders of the public transport family have realized the industrial production of salt, which is very cheap and has a large amount. ”

Speaking of this, Lü Buwei stopped. To put it bluntly, this kind of industrialized sea salt is too cheap, and Lü Buwei has to raise money frantically in order to buy food, so he has his eyes on illegal salt.

The silver in this world is worthless, and a stone of grain costs ten taels of silver. 10 million stone grain is a small goal. Every year, just buying grain has to be several small goals, and of course it is impossible to rely on robbery alone for so much money.

Although Lü Buwei worked very hard to set up the Touching Gold Captain, he also used the mechanism skills of the public loser to loot the treasure troves of Shaolin, Wudang, Jiangnan maritime merchants, and northern Jin merchants. But there is always a limit to this method, and when the Pingnan Mansion was stolen, everyone only thought he was unlucky. When Songshan Shaolin was stolen, everyone began to be surprised.

When the Jiangnan maritime merchants were ransacked, no matter how slow the others were, they understood: in the past few years, there has been a super thief with a trick like a celestial, who has been eyeing the big guy.

No matter how slow the response is, he knows that the money is distributed in several small warehouses, and even if it is stolen, only a part of it will be lost.

What's more, these big forces are therefore connected together, and they directly join forces as soon as they analyze each other, and it is their joint efforts that the imperial court can react so quickly and focus on Tsing Yi Lou.

Things have come to this point, and it is no longer something that Lu Buwei can stop by. People are already eyeing you, and if it weren't even for the prevention of startling the snakes, maybe the Tsing Yi Building's branch on land would have been robbed.

As for the headquarters, of course, it is overseas. As early as the following year, Lü Buwei moved his headquarters overseas, occupied the Ryukyu Kingdom, and established the shogunate.

"In other words, basically everything that can be offended is offended?" Ying Zheng asked.

Although the old minister didn't want to say that, it was the truth. It was fine before their interests were involved, but now. Lu Buwei shook his head as he spoke.

I don't blame him for this. It can even be said that this matter has long been expected by Yingzheng. Every year, tens of millions of stone grain are smuggled, and they have succeeded for three consecutive years, so they can't ask for more.

"If you fail, you fail, this is in the plan, so what is the plan for the middle father next?"

Hum!

"Since the path of peace is out of nowhere, bring them iron and blood. In the old man's view, the conquest of this realm can be divided into three steps. ”

"The first step was to gather intelligence, to go deep into every industry in the world, to understand the world thoroughly, and now this step is almost done. ”

"The second step is to create chaos, or even provoke the ambitions of careerists, so that careerists can appear on the stage, and the world will be plunged into internal friction. ”

"And the third step is that it depends on the situation, if we have enough strength in this realm, we will conquer it directly. If we don't have enough strength in the Expedition Division, then we will directly descend on Great Qin's Iron Cavalry. ”
