Chapter 250: No more Yanyun, never give up the army

The number of people who fled from Yingzhou to Cangzhou has exceeded 5,000, and it is still rising at an extremely fast speed. Zhao Kuangyin is so happy that if he continues at this speed, it won’t take long before Yingzhou will become an empty city, with a view of his fingers.

Of course he was dancing and laughing like a fat man with a 300 pound pound, but the question is why this happened?

What did Ye Hua do? What evil spell did this kid use? Those people were betrayed?

Just run to the Great Zhou without any chance?

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't figure it out, but of course, if he couldn't figure it out, he could put it aside. Anyway, Zhao Da had a good attitude and could hold it up and put it down.

But the princes in the court cannot explain it clearly, and Boss Guo is asking!

"According to the secret report, the Khitan levyed heavily in Yanyun and other places and robbed male food, which made the heavens angry and the people resentful. There have been many people doing things, and the Khitan was too poor to deal with it and was in a hurry."

Guo Wei's leg was injured. Because he was old and recovered a little slowly, he was finally able to walk normally.

Boss Guo’s cheeks were sunken and he had lost a lot of weight, but his eyes were full of excitement and his speech was full of energy. The Khitan was in chaos, and the opportunity he had always dreamed of has arrived!

In any case, I will take Yan Yun back!

Guo Wei swore in his heart that if he did this, he could still smile even if he died.

Fan Zhi hurriedly said, "Your Majesty is a great blessing, and the Khitan is taking the blame for it. The old minister thinks that this is the day when God blesses the Great Zhou Dynasty and the restoration of Yanyun is not far away!"

Guo Wei smiled, "I have the destiny, but I also need human resources to do it. Yanyun's land suddenly became in chaos. What is the reason? Why do you guys teach me?"

Several husbands looked at each other, not knowing how to speak for a while.

Guo Wei raised his business by eight degrees again: "Is the chaos in Jin Wang and Champion Hou arguing peace with the Khitan, Yingzhou and other places related to peace talks and trade?"

"This..." Several husbands became even more speechless.

In theory, negotiations on peace and trade are good things for both parties. It is a good thing to share the relationship between the two parties and to make their own profits. Especially in the negotiations, Ye Hua also tends to buy more Khitan things.

If the Khitans really do what Ye Hua said, how could they be in chaos if they make a lot of money?

This result is really too subverting their perception.

You should know that the peace talks were sent to the capital, and many censors wrote to impeach, saying that Ye Hua was losing power and humiliating the country! But in just a few months, the Khitan was in chaos.

There are even more interesting things!

On the Great Zhou side, the Yongji Canal was cleared, the two cities of Cangzhou and Qianning Army were rebuilt, and many large warships were built. The various expenses of the court were only less than half of the budget, saving a lot of money.

As the Sansi Envoy, Li Gu was overjoyed.

But a paradoxical scene appeared.

The Khitan, which should have taken advantage of the trade, has caused chaos, but the Dazhou, which should have suffered a lot of losses, made a fortune in silence... Who is the benefit of discussing peace and trading?

Even though several husbands were extremely talented, they were stunned when facing such a strange ending and could not come up with this statement. They could only keep saying, Emperor Tianyou, Great Zhou Hongfu...

Guo Wei is too lazy to listen. I am not a three-year-old child. It’s useless to get some real stuff.

Guo Wei thought for a long time and decided to issue an order to ask Ye Hua to meet him in Beijing and make the matter clear.

Five days later, Ye Hua appeared on the Golden Palace. He sat on the west side, and to the east were the officials of the Political Affairs Hall headed by Fan Zhi. Guo Wei was serious and sat upright.

"Ye Qing, who made a profit and who lost money this time to negotiate peacekeeping? What do you think?"

Ye Hua bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I believe all your husbands are also suspicious. I think it is better to deduce the sand table, so it is natural to see at a glance."

"Okay!" Guo Wei nodded. The so-called sand table deduction was a method introduced by Ye Hua when training the cavalry guards, so that the soldiers could better understand the battle formation and changes.

Now it is appropriate to use it in trade.

Ye Hua first took out 300,000 guan of chips to buy cattle and sheep... The officials of the Zhengshitang played the role of the Khitan side and easily gathered enough goods. They now have 300,000 guan in their hands!

How to use it?

It's very simple, it's to purchase goods from Dazhou.

After a few strokes, Wei Renpu discovered that they not only spent 300,000 yuan, but also lost a lot of money!

Old Wei was so smart that he gradually figured it out.

"Champion Hou, your so-called purchase amount is simply a deceptive talk, right?"

Ye Hua smiled and said, "It can also be said that the Central Plains has abundant resources, the people are hardworking, and the merchants are shrewd. How can the Khitan and us do business? If they want to make money, there is only one way!"

"What's the solution?" Wei Renpu asked.

"Encourage and sell everything!" Ye Hua said with a smile: "Maybe Mr. Wei don't know. One-third of the civilians who repair the city walls of Cangzhou are from Yingzhou and Mozhou. In other words, we are using Yanyun's manpower to serve the Great Zhou!"

"ah!"

Li Gu exclaimed!

impossible!

It's simply impossible!

The Khitans were not crazy, and they let their people go to help the Great Zhou repair the city. Isn’t this a broken brain?

"Champion Hou, are you cheating me?"

Ye Hua shrugged, "Even if I dare to deceive you, I will not dare to deceive the emperor! This is the fact. If there were no Khitan civilians, how could I lower the expenses for repairing the city? I can't carry the bricks alone!"

Ye Hua's tone was exaggerated, and Guo Wei smiled indifferently, "Don't keep it aside, hurry up and tell me the mystery!"

"Your Majesty, letting the Khitan make money in trade is simply a trap. Even if the Khitans make money, they will only lose the people's hearts. The more they make, the faster they lose!"

Ye Hua revealed his plan, and now his husband finally opened his eyes and learned Ye Hua's level of doing bad things. One word - high!

First, let’s take a look at what the Khitan can sell to the Great Zhou!

Cattle, sheep, horses, wood, fur, medicinal materials, jewelry, all are low-end products and raw materials. The porcelain, silk, iron, furniture, books in Dazhou can all be regarded as industrial finished products. This is a natural scissor gap... If the Khitan insists on making more money, then it will only win by quantity!

Cattle and sheep will not appear out of thin air, nor will wood and fur fall from the sky.

If you want to make up enough quantity, you must increase exploitation and take more from the people!

If it really doesn't work, I'll sell people, as long as I have money to make money!

Therefore, the more you earn, the more you lose the people's hearts.

More than that!

Ye Hua has more insidious tricks.

He built a city in Cangzhou, dredged the canal, and raised the price of grain by the way.

Nowadays, Cangzhou’s one stone of japonica rice costs 1 jin of money, which is more expensive than Kaifeng!

The food prices are high, and farmers laugh, but people in the city can't stand it. But don't forget that Ye Hua is working on a project and releasing his interests through purchasing and hiring.

The people of Cangzhou can still bear it.

But the question is that there is such a high grain price, who can't be jealous!

Yelu Sha went all out to hire a group of personnel from the Great Zhou to serve him. The "honest man" Zhang Zhen provided Yelu Sha with a good suggestion, purchasing grain from Yingzhou, selling it to Cangzhou, and earning the difference... Yelu Sha thought about it very seriously, and he hesitated.

Food is of great importance, can it be bought and sold at will?

But the price of grain in Cangzhou is more than twice as expensive. Seeing such a large piece of fat, I feel sorry for myself if I don’t eat it.

After thinking about it, he deliberately instructed him to purchase grain from the public, and the price was 10% higher than the market price.

Yelu Sha thought that in this way, the people would not suffer any losses and would not cause trouble.

He thought it was very good.

But he forgot that his subordinates were all robbers, asking them to collect food, and they still wanted the people not to suffer losses. Isn’t that a dream!

The scene that happened in the landlord's house was not uncommon. The Khitans driven by interests were becoming crazy... Ye Hua was like a beast trainer holding bait in his hand. The ferocious beast of Khitan unknowingly shook his figure and cooperated with Ye Hua, willing to act as a cute pet, and was played with and applauded.

Several of my husbands woke up just like a dream, especially Li Gu!

He had seen Ye Hua's methods, but this time he was still impressed!

"Champion Hou is full of wisdom and has many tricks. Even Guan Zhong is inferior to him. I really admire him!" Li Gu sighed to the sky, saying that the young man is terrifying, and he almost knelt down and called Master to Ye Hua.

He was really convinced!

Including Wei Renpu, they all look like elementary school students and feel ashamed of themselves.

"Your Majesty, nothing unexpected happens. Yingzhou will definitely be short of food this year. I think the battle to recover Yanyun can start!" Ye Hua said with confidence.
