All Hail Cousin Brother - Chapter 993
“There’s nothing to worry about,” Yu Youyao frowned and suddenly interrupted him: “The You Army paid a painful price to barely hold the Jinzhou line of defense. You failed to give Di Ren a head-on attack on the battlefield. You have always been brooding about the Bei Di invasion that year, and since then, you have begun to plan revenge, you have been planning for this battle for a long time, and you have prepared for it for several years, so you should be sure to win.”
None of those who participated in the case of King Zhou Li had a good end, and Bei Di, as one of the initiators, naturally could not escape Yin Huaixi’s revenge.
Yin Huaixi did not deny it.
Yu Youyao said softly: “I all know that before King Liang raised his army, you secretly sent people under your command who knew how to do business, and scattered them into Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Anhui and other major grain producing areas, and purchased grain by means of high prices and low speculation. The troops and horses have not moved, the food and grass will go first, I believe in you.”
At that time, no one knew that King Liang would rebel.
The price of grain has been a little higher due to the impact of the drought, but because most of the disaster victims have been resettled in the Liaodong area, these grain-producing areas have not been affected by the disaster, and the grain price is still in a relatively stable state.
The people sent by Yin Huaixi continued to purchase food from the market at higher prices.
The price of grain has risen, and some wealthy businessmen are like cats smelling fishy, trying to buy grain and stockpiling grain, and then resell it to Yin Huaixi’s people, in order to sell at a high price and make huge profits.
The wealthy businessmen bought grain and stockpiled grain, and the price of grain must continue to rise. At this time, Yin Huaixi’s people fished in troubled waters, sold the grain in their hands to them, and slowly returned the grain to the market.
In turn, from the wealthy businessmen, they earn the price difference of ‘buy low and sell high’.
On the market, grain is gradually increasing, and the price of grain is bound to gradually fall. The wealthy businessmen will take advantage of the fact that the grain price is still good, and the backlog of grain in their hands will flow into the market price.
At this time, Yin Huaixi’s people sold 50% of the food on the market at a lower price.
Yin Huaixi didn’t want to do everything, buy 50% of the grain, and let those wealthy businessmen who intend to stock up on grain and make a lot of money lose their money, but finally left a way for the common people to live, and at the same time avoided the large amount of grain on the market. Decrease, it will cause local panic, as well as the vigilance of the court.
Those who did these things disguised themselves as businessmen from the north, took the road guide issued by the Youzhou government, and there were almost no obstacles along the way.
The north hosts a large number of refugees, and the shortage of food is common, and it is justifiable to buy food lavishly.
No one doubts that this is a group of profiteers who maliciously make high prices at low prices.
Therefore, Yin Huaixi obtained a large amount of food in the same way.
Most of the five places in the Central Plains were along the lakes and rivers. Yin Huaixi had merchant ships in his hands, and when he got food, he used merchant ships to transport them by water, which was also very convenient.
During that time, almost every day, merchant ships would stop at Liancheng, and batches of grain were quietly transported into the barracks.
When the same viciously high prices and low prices for food occurred in various regions of the Central Plains, which caused the food to be greatly reduced in various places, King Liang had already rebelled.
The court will put this account on the head of King Liang.
No one knew that Yin Huaixi did all this.
Although there are some unscrupulous means, Yu Youyao also knows that even if Yin Huaixi does not do this, the most food will only fall into the hands of King Liang, and it will not reach the people.
Yin Huaixi’s behavior is also understandable.
As for how did Yu Youyao know?
First, Yin Huaixi’s merchant ships cooperated with her. She knew that she would know some of the trends of merchant ships.
Second, Yin Huaixi never deliberately concealed anything.
Yu Youyao took a deep breath: “After Ye Hanyuan was in charge of the defense of the southeast coast, the area along the southeast coast has almost become your back garden. I don’t know what agreement you and Lin and Yan have reached. The authentic medicinal materials under your control have provided various authentic medicinal materials to the You Army several times in the past six months. Anshan is your base camp, where you have a military casting center. The silk from spring and autumn this year has been put into armor. The production of…”
And the war horses exchanged with Bei Di earlier…
King Liang has been conspiring to rebel for many years and is fully prepared.
However, Yin Huaixi took all the resources of the north and south. When King Liang’s army entered Jiangxi, Hubei and other places, they would find that there were almost empty shells.
Yin Huaixi said, “Beidi broke through the Jinzhou line of defense three times in this dynasty. They already have quite a wealth of experience in how to break through the Jinzhou defense. Although I am confident that I can defend Jinzhou, the battlefield is changing rapidly…”
“I won’t go,” Yu Youyao’s expression was very determined, showing stubbornness: “I’m not your burden, you sent me to Liancheng, not under your nose, you can rest assured?!”
Don’t worry, of course don’t worry! How can he rest assured when people are not under his nose? !
Yin Huaixi was persuaded, but he was still uneasy about putting people in Xiangping City.
“The best way is,” Yu Youyao smiled and bent his lips, looking at him with bright eyes: “I will accompany you to Jinzhou and put me under your nose, so you can rest assured.”
Her bright eyes, like shining stars, were looked at by such bright eyes, if Yin Huaixi opened her mouth to refuse, it was blocked in her throat, and her heart couldn’t help softening.
Yu Youyao blinked, used his trump card, took Yin Huaixi’s hand, and swayed: “Take me with you, okay, I’m very good, and I will definitely not cause trouble.”
The coquettish tone is soft and glutinous, just like the Qingtuan on the Dragon Boat Festival. The outside is the Qingtuan noodles made of wormwood, and the red bean paste stuffing inside is soft and glutinous and sweet.
He, who usually doesn’t like to eat, also ate a lot of food one after another for the first time ever.
Who can resist this? !
“Cough,” Yin Huaixi hurriedly cleared her throat, swallowed the word ‘good’ that came to her mouth, and hurriedly swallowed her face, trying to dispel her thoughts of going to the front line: “Nonsense, the two armies must confront each other. It’s not a child’s play, how can I take you there, don’t even think about it…” thought.
The last word [thinking] was held back because of the little girl’s suddenly depressed face.
Being murdered, Yu Youyao looked at him pitifully, as pitiful as he looked.
She pursed her lips, with a stubborn expression of wanting to cry or not: “I’m really good, I’ll never hold back, take me to Jinzhou, okay…”
As if to prove that she was really good, the little girl sat on the chair with her hands on her lap, raised her head and looked at him, as if every strand of hair on her body was written: Look, I’m good, I’m soft, I’m obedient.
It’s very bullying.
