"I finally left!" Xiao Xian sat back in his seat with a relaxed look on his face.

"This Majesty is really a big show." Zhang Zhongjian looked by the window for a while before coming and said.

Emperor Yang of Sui had such an ostentatious personality, and he was the same when he came and left. What he did would make people remember so vividly.

In fact, there is nothing special about the shops on the street. The team was decorated with colorful satin and the streets from the distance from the palace to the city gate.

The entire Jiangling cloth store that had been squeezed for half a year was basically sold out in order to send Emperor Yang of Sui. It should have been a happy thing, but the imperial court's purchasing price would not be the market price. The merchants in the cloth store really didn't want to lose money to sell the goods.

But this is not something you say you won’t sell it.

Xiao Xian smiled and thought to himself that if it weren't for such an emperor, they wouldn't have such an opportunity. To be honest, he really seemed to be grateful to this emperor who likes to be arrogant.

"The next thing we have to do is implement our plan. What do you think of Li Mi?" Xiao Xian said.

"Do you really believe that he can take out 100,000 guan?" Zhang Zhongjian asked.

Xiao Xian did not talk about money, but said: "It doesn't matter if he doesn't believe it. As long as he can get food, he can afford to pay 100,000 ounces of food, right?"

Zhang Zhongjian nodded. Development cannot be separated from grain. With the grain output in Jiangnan, it is enough to hoard it. Li Mi directly said that transporting grain from the south is not as good as purchasing in Youzhou, and bulk transactions are more cost-effective.

On the one hand, it is cheaper, and on the other hand, it is also to reduce Youzhou's grain reserves.

Li Mi's words were approved by the other two, so the three families were responsible for their own affairs and divided the work and cooperated with each other.

The Sixteen Prefectures of Youji have now become the granary of the northern Liao area. Everyone in the world knows that the Sixteen Prefectures of Youji have a lot of food, and there are rumors that they can't finish eating for a lifetime.

Li Mi has the advantage of royal intelligence. In Youzhou, he has a lot of intelligence. Merchants are very profitable when reselling grain by purchasing grain.

To raise food and wages, you naturally have to spend money on the edge. The money of the three families is not caused by the strong wind, so you have to make careful calculations when spending it.

Li Mi has first-hand information. The larger the order for grain purchases in Youzhou, the more discounts he has. Not only did he investigate clearly, he also sent a caravan to buy it early.

In a year, he had stockpiled a lot of grain and sold some when the market price was high. By reselling grain, his caravan could already bear the profit and loss.

Now that he has done a big thing, he has decided to continue to purchase a large amount of grain, and hoard it for at least five years. He is very clear that compared with the number of soldiers and horses that the Xiao family and the Zhang family can pull up, the matter of soldiers is not an advantage for him.

But it doesn’t matter if you have enough food, even if you have more troops, it’s not up to him.

Xiao Xian and Zhang Zhongjian also knew about this. They had hoarded grain but not that much. Now the new Li family said that they could solve this problem and Li Mi did not break his promise.

Emperor Yang of Sui was about to leave the city gate, and just as the cavalry guards first left the city gate, they suddenly went to a fast horse to deliver an urgent letter of eight hundred miles.

Yang Guang took the letter and looked at it, waved his hand and said, "Go back to the palace!"

The cavalry guard turned around and walked back to the car and sedan. He saw that the people next to the street didn't know why. Some people thought it was because of their expectations that the emperor stayed.

"Master Xiao, look!"

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Zhang Zhongjian called Xiao Xian to the window and watched the cavalry guard turn back.

"What happened?" Xiao Xian asked.

Zhang Zhongjian also wanted to know.

After returning to the palace, Emperor Yang of Sui immediately became anxious about the ministers and generals who accompanied him. They didn't know what happened. When they learned that the person who came was sending a letter was 800 miles in a hurry, they knew that it must be a military matter.

Because only military affairs can be used to speed up to 800 miles.

"Yang Xuangan led a large number of Goryeo ships to attack Penglai and went south to harass the coast. What do you think of this wolf?"

"Your Majesty calms down. Now there are few sailors. I think they will be insufficient as long as you do not land."

The representatives of the civil officials spoke out, saying that the facts were the facts that as long as the pirates did not land on the Sui land, what could they do with a few ships? They were just wandering around the beach.

Yuwen Chengdu doesn't think so. If the pirates form a climate that is enough to threaten one side, they just live on the sea all year round, which does not mean that they will not live on land.

Once it reaches a huge force, it is easy to occupy one side. Take Hu'er as an example. The troops he led are good at water stations, and they still occupy a large amount on land and have strong combat effectiveness.

Yuwen Chengdu knew very well that he could not indulge those islands, otherwise the situation would get worse and worse, but he would not say it.

"Ministry of War, can there be troops that can be mobilized to attack pirates?" Emperor Yang of Sui asked.

Everyone in the Ministry of War was silent. Just when Emperor Yang of Sui was about to get angry, someone suddenly stood up and said, "Liu Xuanli, the Minister of the Ministry of War, requested a report."

"Talk." Emperor Yang of Sui said.

"When I was in the military city, I saw vanguard soldiers building ships. Only vanguard soldiers could be used to destroy pirates." Liu Xuanli said.

"It's really surprising that the vanguard soldiers were occupied by Liaobei privately. Not to mention that they are still preparing for sailors, I'm really bold and arrogant. I'll leave the matter of suppressing bandits to the vanguard soldiers." Emperor Yang of Sui said with great aura.

In fact, he had no confidence in his heart. Why should the vanguard soldiers listen to the court? However, this is not a problem for diplomatic solutions.

So Lu Fulin, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, set off at the beginning of the winter and targeted Youzhou City.

Li De didn't know that there was something else to come to him.

After Lu Fulin saw Li De, he explained his purpose. Li De was surprised that it turned out to be Liu Xuanli said that the vanguard soldiers had warships suitable for naval battles.

"Grandmaster, now pirates are rampant and pirates are plaguing the southern coastal areas many times, which has caused thousands of people to suffer from bandits. Your Majesty has drafted an order, hoping that the Grandmaster can send troops to suppress the bandits for the sake of the people." Lu Fulin said.

"Pirates, Yang Xuangan?" Li De was a little curious.

"Yes, now Yang Xuangan and Goryeo colluded with each other to form a fleet of 100 large ships on the sea. Lai Hu'er has rebelled and only the vanguards can clear these bandits. I hope the Grand Commander will send troops." Lu Fulin said.

"Well, let me think about it. Come from afar and ask the envoy to go back and rest first." Li Dedao.

Lu Fulin retreated, and Li De began to think about it. He could not have imagined that Yang Xuangan colluded with Goryeo to cause harm to the other side. This was really necessary to completely break with the Sui Kingdom and give up the idea of ​​fighting for hegemony.

You should know that the reputation of pirates is not good. Even if they become stronger, they will not have a place in the world. It can be seen that Yang Xuangan's situation is not very good.

"Husband, do we want to send troops?" Pei Qingxuan asked from the side.
