: Grain buying plan

Chen Yuan knew that a ship of grain could not make much, but some money could not be made, and some business would have to be lost. He said to Hu Yanqing: "This is not a matter of money, but the lives of the people. I must find a way to get the food to let them live!"

Hu Yanqing understood Chen Yuan's meaning: "My sister-in-law, the Song Dynasty is short of food now, but *** and Japan have a good harvest last year. I think we can buy some from them first to respond to the emergency."

Chen Yuan really didn't expect that these two places still retained the impression of these two countries in his later generations, believing that they were both imported food. Now, when Hu Yanqing mentioned this, Chen Yuan also thought it was very feasible.

If these two places can also provide some food, the crisis will be much easier. Chen Yuan felt a little relieved: "By the way, I read Ruizhu's letter that you are now the overlords of the entire sea?"

Hu Yanqing smiled: "I'm not a tyrant now, but ordinary pirates give us some face. Even if they have more power, they don't dare to do anything to us."

Hu Yanping couldn't help but feel a little anxious: "Son-in-law, you let me go and forget it too. It's really uncomfortable for me to stay here. It's just this kid."

He slapped Hu Yanlong in the head with his hand: "This kid now has three boats! He has thousands of people under his command, which one do you think he is better than me?"

Hu Yanlong smiled and didn't say anything to him.

Chen Yuan did shook his head: "No, I'm going to find an opportunity to fight Lao Pang immediately. You must stay and help me, otherwise the monster Pang Xi will kill him, and I'm really a little scared."

His words made the Hu family happy: "Are you going to have sex with Lao Pang?"

Chen Yuan was about to fight Pang Ji. He didn't hate Pang Ji for harming him this time, and the court struggle was useless. Chen Yuan understood this. Today is the enemy and tomorrow is a friend. He also understood everything he should not do.

But he knew even more in his heart that this time it was Lao Pang who attacked Qin Xianglian! This was something that Chen Yuan could not tolerate. He said: "Of course, I have to start preparing now. As soon as the time comes, I will let him taste the feeling of being scouted!"

He had this idea and really felt the appetite of the Hu family. Hu Yanping never mentioned it again. Hu Yanqing also said: "Son-in-law, then do you think we shouldn't go far recently? It's so convenient to contact us. Also, we brought two thousand brothers this time, and we were on the boat outside Bianjing. If you think it's appropriate, we rushed in and killed Lao Pang!"

This idea scared Chen Yuan. Chen Yuan rushed to Hu Yanqing and said, "It's not possible yet. Lord Fan's army has just returned. There are more than 100,000 people living in and outside the city. You two thousand people cannot kill Lao Pang. Besides, I'm still planning the matter. You go to the business first. I will notify you if there is any news. You should pay attention during this period. When I send a fleet to transport grain, you must protect it."

Hu Yanqing nodded: "This is related to the life and death of the people. We naturally have no choice but to have no problems in other places. But when we approach the East China Sea, Miyamoto's Japanese people were in trouble."

Chen Yuan was stunned when he heard this: "Miyamoto?"

Hu Yanqing nodded: "Do you remember the group of pirates I told you? They are the group who often appear in the East China Sea and are cruel when robbing caravans. They are Japanese people."

Chen Yuan subconsciously touched his nose and suddenly smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Are they amazing?"

Hu Yanlong shook his head: "We fought once. That time they robbed the merchant ships of the Song Dynasty and were hit by Mei Xian and the others. The ships of those things were not big, but they were very fast and many of them, all of which were the kind of small boats that were easy to turn around. Mei Xian and the others almost suffered a loss. Later, when the boys saw that we were coming, they turned around and left. After grabbing them, they realized that they were Japanese people."

Chen Yuan pondered for a while: "Follow them first. I don't care what you think, anyway, in the near future, we must ensure the safety of the waterway and ensure that every ship of ours can travel safely."

Hu Yanqing replied: "After Bitao and the others fought that time, we were basically just spinning there. I had already made a noise and wanted to fight with them again, but they asked someone to tell me, sister-in-law, do you mean to talk first?"

Chen Yuan said: "If you are not sure to deal with them, let's talk first. This time you came here just in time. There are some weapons in the treasury. There is something called stone cannon, which is very powerful, and there is also a kind of crossbow. I think shooting through the ship board is not a problem, so you can use it."

Hu Yanqing had never seen these things before, and was not very excited. In his opinion, naval battles were mainly about who was faster, who was strong, and who was brave in the sailors on the ship!

Chen Yuan knew that there was no need to argue with Hu Yanqing about these things now. When the weapon was in his hands, he would come to find him.

"After you get these weapons, you can get familiar with them. When you contact those Japanese people, try to learn more about the current situation in Japan. When the Song Dynasty recovers next year, you will be able to fight again."

Hu Yanqing nodded, and Chen Yuan finally reiterated that the task of transporting food this time is really important! Let them be very careful.

He calculated in his mind that if he was faster, he would go from preparing his fleet to transporting food to the Song Dynasty, because it would be next spring, and that would be the most difficult time.

Now Chen Yuan is going to organize a large fleet to buy food, and at the same time, he should try his best to see if there is any small one if possible, and try his best to get through this difficulty.

In fact, food is not only about solving the problem of refugees, but the most important thing is to help Chen Yuan occupy an absolutely favorable position in Dangxiang's layout.

There are still many things to do, but now it is almost midnight and you have to go to bed. Even if you are anxious, you have to take some things slowly.

He quietly pushed open the door and found that Zhao Yi was still sitting on the chair, as if he was thinking about something. Seeing Chen Yuan come in, Zhao Yi stood up and said, "Is the matter finished?"

Chen Yuan nodded: "Yeah, I'm done."

Zhao Yi reached out to take the clothes he was wearing, but Chen Yuan stopped her: "What are you doing?"

Zhao Yi squeezed out a smile: "Would you like to hang up your clothes for you?"

Chen Yuan took off his clothes himself, then walked to Zhao Yi and gently grabbed her hand: "Princess, do you feel wronged? For me, you lost the title of princess, but I brought other women back."

Zhao Yi's throat twitched twice, obviously wanting to cry, but he didn't cry: "The father said, I am an ordinary woman now. I need to learn to live the life of an ordinary woman, and it is appropriate to serve men."

Chen Yuan thought to himself that Renzong is really a good father-in-law. Although he scolded himself for being a fierce man, he was also teaching Zhao Yi what method to use to maintain his marriage.

Chen Yuan gently hugged Zhao Yi in his arms: "You used to be the princess of the Song Dynasty, but in my eyes, you are Zhao Yi. I like you, do you know? If you still want to be a princess now, I will hold you in my palm. Don't accommodate me like this. If you do this, I will only feel guilty and may not dare to see you in the future."

Zhao Yi looked up and said, "Then what do you want me?"

Chen Yuanyi smiled: "It's not that I want you to do whatever you want, you can do whatever you want. As long as you are in this son-in-law's mansion, you have the final say."

Zhao Yi didn't believe it: "Really? Where is Qin Xianglian and Linghua?"

Chen Yuanyi waved his hand: "Didn't you agree? They will listen to you in the future."

Zhao Yi asked again: "What about Huyan Ruizhu? She won't listen to me. She said that my father killed her whole family. She saw that I wanted to do something!"

Chen Yuan suddenly amplified his voice: "She dares! She really said that?"

Zhao Yi's tears suddenly came down, and the one on the other end was very powerful. Chen Yuan pretended to be angry: "Wait, I will drive her away tomorrow and let her go back to her boat!"

Zhao Yi smiled this time. Her softness just now really forced herself to pretend. Chen Yuan knew very well that he knew that Zhao Yi was actually very painful and he was not feeling well himself.

His arm was pinched again, and Zhao Yi punched him hard in the chest: "You will lie! If you want to drive her away, go now!"

Chen Yuan hugged her in his arms: "It's getting late now. I'll be here with you tonight and I won't go anywhere!"

As he said that, his hand climbed up to Zhao Yi's chest, rubbed him hard, and then pressed Zhao Yi onto the bed.

Zhao Yi's eyes also emitted a light: "Why are you so rude today?"

Chen Yuan pulled off her clothes a few times: "Nonsense, I haven't touched a woman for a long time, so where is the leisure time? Just click it!"

The lampstand next to Zhao Yi’s finger: “Blow up the light! Blow up the light!”

Chen Yuan picked up his shoes from the ground and smashed them over, just in time to smash the lampstand to the ground: "That's all, take off your pants quickly!"

The lampstand went out without much time.

In the next few days, everything went very smoothly. The booklet was finished without much effort and showed it to some veterans and new recruits. They all said it was very good.

Zeng Gongliang was also re-improving the weapons based on the soldiers' reactions, especially the palm thunder, which is very powerful, but the explosion time is because the leads are manually installed, and the detonation time cannot be controlled, which is a big problem.

Chen Yuan asked Zeng Gongliang if he could use impact to detonate gunpowder. Zeng Gongliang shook his head at that time. Even if we see grenades now, we can only hit and detonate after having a striker. During the battle, we were still using a wooden handle grenade. The striker was a high-tech thing, and Chen Yuan didn't understand.

Zeng Gongliang is studying how to fix the detonation time, at least within a range where the fluctuation is not large.

There are other crossbows, chariots, etc., and there are many things that need improvement. Although Zeng Gongliang does not have the ability to modify these things perfectly, I think it will be better than this time.
