In order to cope with such a bad year this year, Li Tang is suspected to be very hard. Jianghuai Grain and Rice Method can now bring a little drop in the bucket from Henan to China.

As far as the shortage of grain and grass is concerned, the output of one’s own field is the most important, but the long-term war has caused serious damage in Li Tang and the establishment of Chang ‘an Kyoto, which has led to the rise of the middle population in the past, and it is a foregone conclusion that the autumn harvest has failed to feed the Chinese people.
In addition, Li Tang is a single economy, such as millet and sorghum. Relatively speaking, the harvest of Zhao is also sluggish this year, and there is a drought in Shandong. There is also a locust plague in Hebei, but the people’s day is relatively better. Because Li Chongjiu is in Hebei and Shandong, the people have to feed themselves this year.
Xue Wanshu said, "The autumn grain will not be collected for two months, but the grain price has reached 70 yuan a bucket, Chang ‘an has 10 yuan a bucket, and Youjing has only 20 yuan a bucket. Even because of last year’s war, Hebei and Shandong suffered two disasters this year, the grain price is only 30 to 40 yuan a bucket."
Li Chongjiu heard that he had a rough estimate of the food price. When he just captured Youjing, the food price in the north was also very high. He tried his best to maintain 50 yuan a bucket, so that the people did not have a famine and the people in Youjing starved to death.
And now Chang ‘an has reached * * ten dollars, which is the most suffering or the most people’s condition. Li Tang’s tax is not low, so the pressure on the people is the only choice to go into exile.
Li Chongjiu looked at Xue Wanshu and said, "Do you mean to persuade me to order Chang ‘an to lean towards my big Zhao merchants to copy grain and then pile it up?"
Xue Wanshu nodded and said, "Yes, I am expected to prepare 500,000 yuan for half a year’s grain harvest. First, I released the news that there will be a big war in Li Tang this autumn, and together with the news of the war, food prices will inevitably continue to push up. After the autumn harvest, when food prices fall, we will purchase large quantities of food and sweep the grain. It is expected that Chang ‘an food prices will be pushed up to a hundred dollars in half a year."
After hearing this, Li Chongjiu said, "This trick is diabolical, but are you and me rich in five hundred dollars? This year’s war is also our great Zhao Guoku. "
Xue Wanshu said, "We can pay the people’s debts this year. It’s bound to happen."
Li Chongjiu said with a smile, "This people’s debt is that I borrow money from the people, but it is not my money. You want to speculate on high food prices, and we don’t profit from it. The loss is not small. This is purely hurtful and detrimental to others. If this 500,000-dollar money is not in the year, I will be accused immediately."
Xue Wanshu bowed his head and said, "I don’t want to wait until next year, but I don’t think Tang gaozu can even pass this year. This is a way to defeat the enemy without fighting. Food prices in a high school are bound to be exhausted, and the people will complain about Li Tang, so that Tang gaozu’s dominance will inevitably fall and the people will deviate from Tang gaozu. If I were Tang gaozu, I wouldn’t choose the second option to relieve such a predicament except moving the capital to Bashu Jingxiang for a while."
Li Chongjiu nodded. "But Li Jiafu can’t fry food for us, and they will inevitably find clues. We must find more merchants to buy separately. We must definitely give it to Lin Dangfeng Cao Wen, and the three of you will do it together. Remember to act cautiously."
Xue Wanshu said "promise" when he saluted.
Ps, if you have a bug, you’ll never fucking go backstage. To be continued.

Chapter seven hundred and fifty-two Tang pawn
Hedongpu county
Pei Yong took the thin horse and returned to his home. When Zhao Jun’s navy attacked in Heyang War, he escaped to Zhongtan City and saved his life. He took two domestic servants, one of whom was still alive, and the other was hit by Zhao Jun’s battleship crossbow when running on the pontoon bridge.
The house in Puxian County is an old house. There are 100 acres of fields and 10 acres of paddy fields at home along the east bank of Puxian County. These fields are not open fields, but solid fields. When Grandpa Pei Yong first bought them, Pei’s family was somewhat healthy.
But now Pei Yong’s way home is a depression, and the fields are deserted and overgrown with weeds.
Bae Yong had a bad feeling that he saw his big brother squatting on the stone steps in front of his house.
"Pei Song, hold the horse!"
Pei Yong ordered the slave to run to the front avenue by himself. "Big Brother, I’m back!"
Brother Pei Yong is one leng, and when he carefully sees that he is his own brother, he holds Pei Yong with great joy.
Bae Yong said, "Big Brother, we didn’t play well this time. I didn’t win face for Pei’s family, and I didn’t get scattered officials and fields for our family like Dad did."
Brother Pei Yong appeased, "It’s better to come back alive with good arms and legs than anything else. Mother has been thinking about you these days."
"How is your mother?"
Brother Pei Yong didn’t speak. Seeing his brother’s expression, Pei Yong asked in the previous step, "What’s the matter, mother?"
Brother Pei Yong sighed and squatted heavily in the ground.
"Second brother? Why doesn’t he? "
Big brother heard the word, "Second brother went to the market to change some medicine for mother."
Brother Pei Yong looked into the distance and was leading a horse. Pei Song asked, "Why didn’t Xiao Song see him?"
"No," PeiYong replied sadly.
Brother Pei Yong patted Pei Yong on the shoulder and said, "Don’t be sad. It’s good that you can come back. This time, I heard that Zhao Jun didn’t have many people. Let’s go to the advanced house."
Pei Yong walked into the house. When Pei’s house was grandpa’s house, it was set up in strict accordance with the pattern of the front hall and the back house at that time. There was a small courtyard behind the main hall. The left and right wing rooms were all occupied by Zhou’s tenants and their families, but now it seems that these rooms are all swinging and no one lives.
"This … big brother, what is this?"
Brother Peiyong went to Peiyong’s side and cried, "It’s all over. This time, I went out to collect a war horse and a pack horse. You borrowed money from the quality store at home for these two armors and staff. I hope this autumn harvest will pay back the money with the harvest in the field, but you also know that this year’s harvest is not good. I checked many results in the quality store to collect debts and took our 30 mu of land and the 10 mu of paddy field niang, which is also so angry."
PeiYong heard immediately great anger way "where is this truth"
Brother Peiyong hurriedly covered his mouth and said, "Don’t let Niang hear the library. We can afford it if you don’t know it."
Speaking outside, Pei Songyin said, "Erlangjun, you are back."
Pei Yong immediately ran to the door. It was Pei Song, the second brother and the third brother who met each other, and it was a mixture of sadness and joy. When the three of them went to visit their mother, the second brother and his wife cooked a meal, and the family had a happy lunch.
At that time, just after eating, I heard the three brothers, Pei Jia, being greeted outside. It turned out to be a captain.
Pei Jia Dalang politely said, "The general just came to our house for a potluck."
"The" this fold a captain a pair of necessities without sampling.
A captain said to the three brothers, "The imperial court has strengthened the defense of Pujin Ferry, and it is still necessary to take a bite to smoke the military service of the government or to smoke the three Ding."
Listening to this, the three brothers were all stunned. Brother Pei Yong said, "My brother just returned home from the army. Why is there any military service after this military service?"
"You know what?" sneered a captain. "This is an order from the imperial court. You go straight to Chang ‘an to ask for the truth. You can listen to me when you enter the army here."
Brother Pei Yong hurriedly said, "General, our family is really in trouble. You see, the third brother just went through a big war in Heyang and managed to get back a life and return home. My Pei family also lost a domestic slave, and this eye wants my Pei family to go to military service. Isn’t it difficult for us? General for a wide one or two "
Fold a captain road tunnel "you don’t say so much to me, it’s a day to call, this year is so bad, which one has no difficulty, Sanliqiao Zhoujia, you know? This year, when he levied the river Yang, his three husbands and five husbands all went to the river Yang. As a result, the three husbands lost their five husbands, and their arms were cut off by Zhao dogs, leaving three husbands. But when the order came, three husbands and one family still needed someone to guard Pujin City. This is the rule. I’m not a good person. Everyone is tolerant. Who will be sent to the court to replace me? "
This sentence makes Pei’s three brothers speechless. Although Li Tang’s soldiers can be taxed except one, they are actually useless, because the armor, staff and draft horses of the government soldiers are all required to bring their own. Just preparing a horse is enough for the general well-off family.
