Chapter 318: Recruiting again?
.
However, even so, we have to tell Shiyi about the purpose of the trip.
He Zhaoyi calmed down and dispelled the feeling of loss that he had just heard that Brother Shicheng did not come, and said, "This time I came to see Brother Shicheng, I want to ask him for help. Since I have seen you, please do me a favor."
"Okay, Miss He, please tell me that as long as I can make the decision, I will agree." Shi Yi said, and the other meaning is naturally that many things are something he can't make the decision.
"Brother Shiyi, you know that I am in business, and I am doing things everywhere. I can't do this business well and I have a huge loss." He Zhaoyi said.
Shiyi nodded, saying this is right: "It is indeed not good for merchants to move around. However, with the expansion of our army's occupied area, our elder brother has always encouraged business very much in the occupied area."
The meaning of Shiyi is naturally that he can do business freely in an area controlled by the rebel army, but it is probably not so easy to do business with other places. He Zhaoyi thought.
Because Minmin is present, He Zhaoyi is inconvenient to say more. He did his own grain business and secretly participated in Brother Shicheng's salt sales. Most of the salt in the city was almost monopolized by her. Now, her own grain business cannot be done and the salt cannot be stored. In fact, it is also a loss for Brother Shicheng. These words were originally said when she saw Brother Shicheng.
Because he has been conquering cities and territories, Zhang Yang has ignored the matter of the salt farm. He didn't know that Li Shanchang had actually been worried about the sales of salt over the past period of time. However, with the expansion of the area occupied by the rebel army, these salts can be sold to the local area and meet market demand.
Now, the profits of selling salt cannot keep up with the profits of grain. He Zhaoyi couldn't wait to do a grain business, so he talked with Shi Yi.
"But if I don't get your help, I'm afraid I'll have to spend all my money." He Zhaoyi said: "I have collected 50,000 stones of grain now. The transportation of the grain is not going through. I can't sell it, and the grain will become moldy. What should I do?"
He Zhaoyi looked at Shiyi, and looked at Shiyi's expression. A person's expression would betray his heart.
"Fifty thousand stones of grain? It turns out that Miss He is already such a big businessman," Shi Yi said in surprise: "I didn't expect that what Boss He does is doing big business. Where do you want to transport the 50,000 stones of grain?"
"Dadu." He Zhaoyi said.
Dadu Shiyi knew that he couldn't make the decision on this matter. The order to block the canal transportation was given by the eldest brother. (Hand, fight. The update is super fast)
"Miss He, I'm sorry I can't help with this matter." Shi Yi said: "We were staying in Gaoyou Mansion for a long time, but the Tartars were coming to attack us. We had no choice but to cut off the canal transportation. This was just a kind of self-protection. Now, the Tartars still want to encircle and suppress us. This is the last method, and we can't do it."
Minmin was behind him, and he was already angry. As an ancient man with noble blood, Minmin's blood in her body was noble and fell to the point of today. She was also arrogant. She was called a Tartar in person, which made her unhappy. The other party was originally a bandit, but she was talking about the wrong thing about the court. The so-called king let the minister die, and the minister had to die. Even if the court killed all the people, it was a forced one. And they had already fought to Pingjiang, but they were still saying that they were protecting themselves.
"Luàn's thief" Minmin said this, but He Zhaoyi was shocked. It was broken and he would definitely be ruined this time.
It is said that Shi Yi was a rough and rough man, but he was very rough and delicate. What he said just now was actually deliberately told Minmin. Through Li Xingsu, he had known for a long time that Minmin was the nv of the Grand Tuotuo. He called out by a Tartar, and it would be strange if he didn't make her anxious.
After hearing these four words, Shi Yi knew that the ji just now would be successful: "Miss, what did you say just now?" There was a hint of murderous aura in the language.
Relying on the force in his hands to oppress the Grand Master's NV, Shi Yi felt very accomplished about this matter.
He Zhaoyi quickly said, "Shiyi, don't get me wrong. My relative has never seen any big world. I just said it wrong, don't be surprised." As she said that, she pulled La Minmin: "Since Shiyi can't make the decision, then wait for Brother Shicheng to come."
He Zhaoyi regretted it and brought Minmin. After all, the two belonged to the hostile camp. This kind of meeting would be less. If Minmin's identity is leaked, her head might be hung on the city wall tomorrow.
Shi Yi didn't think so much. Even the Grand Tuotuo was beaten away by them. He didn't care about a Tuotuo's NV. Victory gave the rebel army a sense of tolerance. He didn't feel much hatred for this princess.
Looking at He Zhaoyi's back as she was away, she was simply described as escaping. Shi Yi was a little dissatisfied with her behavior just now. Alas, I won't bully two NV people like this next time, but she wants to transport grain to Dadu, which is really not OK.
Most of them fell into the hands of the ancients very early, and many princes and nobles moved in here, so the method of blocking the other party's food sources was very vicious.
Although there are many poor people in the north, their food is also quite diverse, and they can eat all kinds of coarse grains, but the nobles are not good. They are already accustomed to eating various grains and jewelry transported from Jiangnan. Now, the source of grain is cut off, which brings up prices, which will give them a headache.
Shiyi felt that he had to send someone to send a letter to his elder brother about what happened today. After all, everyone understands the relationship between Miss He and his elder brother. The two are already very good friends. If the elder brother blames him for this in the future, he will be a little unbearable. So let me inform him.
The canal transportation has been blocked for several months, and the capital is becoming more and more lifeless.
The most lively Chenghuang Road in the past is the largest grain store in the capital, but now there are grain-free signs.
In fact, they still have food. As businessmen, the sense of smell is the most important. When they learned that the rebels in Gaoyou Mansion controlled the canal transportation, the Ming boss began to purchase the food on the market at a high price and then hoarded it, causing the price of grain to soar.
Now, the price of grain has risen ten times, but the boss thinks it is not enough. Merchants have been a product that only profit-oriented since ancient times.
In the Golden Palace, Tuhuan Timur has been roaring more than once.
"Now, there are movements everywhere and wars are everywhere. Who will relieve my worries?" As an emperor, although Tuhuan Timur is an incompetent emperor, he still cares about the concerns of the country.
Since the Gaoyou Prefecture retreated, it seems that in a blink of an eye, the entire country has undergone tremendous changes. The most unbearable one is that the rebel Liu Futong actually established a regime in Haozhou, supported a rude Han Liner as the emperor, and established a country in a dignified manner.
This is amazing. If all the forces of the Red Turban Army were integrated, it would be difficult to deal with. Fortunately, the Red Turban Army around him did not seem to be obeying his orders very much, especially Xu Shouhui in the south, who also established a regime himself.
As a noble emperor, Tohwan Timur did not care much about the sufferings of the people. These things had nothing to do with him, so he didn't know that the prices of grain in the capital had soared.
What Tohuan Timur is most worried about is how to deal with the invincible uprising. Several emperors appeared on his own land. How could this be done?
Most of his army had been taken away by Tuotuo. As a result, the glory of the powerful empire was completely destroyed under the city wall of Gaoyou Mansion.
The battle in Gaoyou Mansion is probably the turning point of the empire's decline from prosperity. If the army is gone, what will the court use to deal with the rebels?
"Your Majesty, now, the most important thing for us is to win over local forces, let the si people from all over the country be armed, and fight against thieves for us. If necessary, we can give them some official positions." After a long time, Hama finally came out to "provide suggestions".
Today's government affairs are probably controlled by Hama and his gang, and the original best friend of the Taishi Tutuo was completely beaten by Hama.
Seeing Hama's speech, other talents dared to follow the trend and make suggestions: "Yes, Master, the court's finances are now in a tight situation. Only by relying on local forces can we better combat the rebels."
Tuhuan Timur nodded weakly. Now, he can only rely on these forces. In fact, he felt a little in his heart that doing so would increase the power of local tyrants, and the weakness of the central government would probably be the beginning of the world.
For example, now, the most powerful force in the north is Li Siqi's armed forces and Chahan Timur's armed forces. Li Siqi is a Han Chinese, while Chahan is an ancient man. However, now Chahan seems to be a little disobedient to him. For example, Kuogu has been protecting Tuotuo, and he has sent someone to the frontier. Kuogu actually sent someone to follow the guards. He didn't take himself seriously at all.
"Is there anything else?" Tuohuan Timuer looked at the ministers below.
"Your Majesty, the grain price in the capital has increased tenfold now." The Minister of Revenue could not help but say, finally.
The food prices rose? Tuhuan Timur had no awareness at all: "Don't bother me with such small things, are there any other major national affairs?"
"Your Majesty, Zhang Shicheng's troops have captured Tongzhou and other places on the east side of Yangzhou Road. Zhang Shicheng is a major concern for our court." Shilang of the Ministry of War then stood up and said.
It's Zhang Shicheng again, why doesn't this person know how to calm down? Tuhuan Timur frowned. This Zhang Shicheng seemed to be his nemesis.
At this time, the news of the fall of Taixing and other places had just been transmitted back to Dadu. Although Pingjiang Road had fallen, the postmen responsible for conveying the news had just set off from Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province.
"Your Majesty, why not, let us recruit Zhang Shicheng and let him deal with the Red Turban Army. Zhang Shicheng is brave and does not belong to the Red Turban Army." Hama suddenly put forward such a plan. "If it can be done, we don't have to work hard to put out the war fires everywhere."
