Chapter 318 Recruitment again?
However, even so, we have to talk about Laiyi and Shiyi.
He Zhaoyi calmed down and dispelled the sense of loss just now when he heard that Brother Shicheng didn't come. He said, "This time I came to see Brother Shicheng. There is something I want to ask him for help. Since I have seen you, please do me a favor!"
"Okay, Miss He, please tell me, as long as I do it, I will agree." Shi Yi said that the other meaning is that he can't make the decision on many things.
"Brother Shiyi, you know that I'm in business. There is chaos everywhere. I can't do my business well, and I have a big loss." He Zhaoyi said.
Shi Yi nodded, which was right: "The turmoil around is indeed unfavorable to merchants. However, with the expansion of the area occupied by our army, the eldest brother has always been very encouraging business in the area occupied by our army."
Shiyi's words naturally means that you can do business freely in the area controlled by the rebels, and it may not be so easy for you to do business with other places? He Zhaoyi thought to his heart.
Due to Minmin's presence, it is inconvenient for He Zhaoyi to say that he did his own grain business and secretly participated in Shicheng's refined salt sales. Most of the refined salt in the capital were almost monopolized by her. Now, his own grain business can't be done, and refined salt can't be sold. In fact, it is also a loss for Shicheng's brother. These words Originally, she didn't say it until she saw Brother Shicheng.
And because he has been attacking the city, Zhang Yang has ignored the salt farm. He doesn't know that during this period of time, Li Shanchang has actually been worried about the sales of refined salt. However, with the expansion of the area occupied by the uprising army, these refined salts are enough to be sold locally to meet the market demand.
Now, the profit of selling refined salt can't catch up with the profit of grain. He Zhaoyi can't wait to do the grain business, so he can talk to Shi Yi.
"However, if I don't get your help, I'm afraid I'm going bankrupt." He Zhaoyi said, "I have collected 50,000 stones of grain now. I can't transport it. I can't sell it. The grain is going to be moldy. What should I do?"
He Zhaoyi looked at Shiyi and looked at Shiyi's expression. A person's expression would betray his heart.
"50,000 stones of grain? It turns out that Miss He is already such a big businessman," Shi Yi said in surprise, "I didn't expect that Boss He is doing big business. Where are you going to transport these 50,000 stones of grain?"
"Daduo." He Zhaoyi said.
Dadu? Shi Yi knew that he could not make the decision on this matter by himself. The order to block the transportation was given by the eldest brother.
"Miss He, I'm sorry I can't help you with this." Shi Yi said, "We stayed in Gaoyou Mansion at the beginning, but the tars wanted to attack us. We had no choice but to break the transportation. This is just a kind of self-protection. Now, the tars still want to encircle and suppress us. This is the last resort."
Strong words are unreasonable! Minmin was behind and heard it with anger. As a Mongolian with noble blood, the blood in Minmin's own body has fallen to what it is today, and she is also arrogant in her heart. Being called the tar in front of her has made her unhappy. The other party is originally a bandit, but he is saying that the court is wrong. The so-called king let the minister die, and the minister has to die. Even if the court kills all the turbulent people, it is also forced. And they have already hit Pingjiang, but they are still saying that they are self-protecting!
"Rogue minister and thief!" Minmin said this, but He Zhaoyi was shocked. It's bad. This time it's definitely going to be ruined.
It is said that Shi Yi rushed into battle. He was a rough old man, but he was thick and thin. What he just said just now was actually deliberately said to Minmin. Through Li Xingsu, he had long known that Minmin was the daughter of the master. It was strange that he shouted out as a Tatar and didn't make her anxious.
Hearing these four words, Shi Yi knew that the excitement just now had succeeded: "Miss, what did you just say?" There is a trace of murder in the language.
Relying on the force in his own hands to bully the master's daughter, Shi Yi felt a great sense of accomplishment in this matter.
He Zhaoyi quickly said, "Shiyi, don't get me wrong. My relative has never seen anything in the world. He just said something wrong. Don't be surprised." With that, she pulled La Minmin: "Since Shiyi can't make the decision, let's wait until Brother Shicheng comes."
He Zhaoyi has regretted and brought Minmin. After all, the two belong to the hostile camp. It's better to have less this kind of meeting in the future. If Minmin's identity is revealed, maybe her head will hang on the wall tomorrow.
Shi Yi didn't think so much. Even the imperial master was beaten away by them. He didn't care about a daughter. Victory gave the rebel army a sense of tolerance. He didn't have much hatred for the princess.
Looking at the back of He Zhaoyi's distance, she simply described it as running away. Shi Yi was a little ashamed of her behavior just now. Alas, she won't bully two female streamers like this next time. However, she wants to transport food to the capital. This really doesn't work.
Because most of them fell into the hands of the Mongols very early, and many princes and nobles migrated here, they used the method of blocking the other party's food sources, which was very poisonous.
Although there are many poor people in the north, their food is also relatively diverse. They can eat all kinds of coarse grains, but those nobles can't. They are used to eating all kinds of grain and jewelry transported by the south of the Yangtze River. Now, the source of food has been cut off, which brings about a rise in prices. Let them have a headache.
Shi Yi felt that he had to send someone to send a letter to the eldest brother for what happened today. After all, everyone understands the relationship between Miss He and the eldest brother. The two of them are already very, very good friends. In the future, if the eldest brother blames himself for this matter, he really can't stand it. Let's inform the eldest brother.
It has been several months since the transportation blockade, and the city of Dadu is becoming more and more dead.
In the past, the busiest City God Road, there was the largest grain store in the capital city, but now there is a grain-free sign.
In fact, they still have grain. As businessmen, the sense of smell is the most important. Knowing that the anti-thieves of Gaoyou Mansion controlled the transportation, the shrewd boss began to buy grain on the market at a high price, and then hoarded it, causing the soaring of grain prices.
Now, the price of grain has risen ten times, but the boss feels that it is not enough. The businessman has been this profit-only surname since ancient times.
In the Jinluan Hall, Tohuan Timur has been roaring more than once.
"Nowadays, there is chaos everywhere, and there are wars everywhere. Who will relieve my worries?" As an emperor, although Tohuan Timur is an incompetent emperor, he is still worried about the country.
Since the defeat of the army in Gaoyou Mansion, it seems that the whole country has undergone great changes in a blink of an eye. Among them, the most unbearable is the anti-thief Liu Futong, who actually established a regime in Haozhou, supported a milky Han Liner as emperor, and established a country in a dignified place!
That's not bad. If all the forces of the Red Turban Army are integrated, it's really difficult to deal with. Fortunately, the Red Turban Army around him doesn't seem to listen to his orders very much, especially Xu Shouhui in the south, who has also established political power.
As a superior emperor, Tohuan Timur doesn't care much about the hardships of the people. These things have nothing to do with him, so he doesn't know that food prices have soared in the capital.
What Tohuan Timur is most worried about is how to deal with the beacon fire of the inextingable uprising. Several emperors have appeared on his own land. How can this be!
Most of his army has been taken away. As a result, the glory of the powerful empire was completely buried under the wall of Gaoyoufu.
The battle of Gaoyou Mansion is probably the turning point of the empire from prosperity to decline. The army is gone. What can the court do to deal with the rebels?
"Your Majesty, the most important thing for us now is to encircle local forces and let private armed forces everywhere fight against us. If necessary, we can give them some official positions." After a long time, Hama finally came out with a "recommence".
I'm afraid that today's government is all under the control of Hama's gang. The Taishi's original best friends have been completely beaten by Hama.
Seeing Hama's speech, other people dared to follow the trend and said, "Yes, your Majesty, now that the court's finances are tight, we can only better fight against the rebels with the help of local forces."
Tohuan Timur nodded feebly. Now, he can only use these forces. In fact, in his heart, he also vaguely feels that doing so will increase the power of local power, and the weakness of the central government may be the beginning of troubled times.
For example, now, the most powerful force in the north is Li Siqi's armed forces and Chahan Timur's armed forces. Generally speaking, Li Siqi is a Han Chinese, and Chahan is a Mongolian. However, now Chahan seems to be a little disoperous from him. For example, the expansion has always been guarding the detachment, and he let the hair loss match the frontier, and the expansion is actually sent again. When people follow the guards, he doesn't pay attention to himself at all!
"Is there anything else?" Tohuan Timur looked at the ministers below.
"Your Majesty, food prices have risen tenfold in the capital now." Shangshu of the Ministry of Household couldn't help but finally said.
Food prices are rising? Tuohuan Timur didn't realize it at all: "Don't bother me with such a small thing. Are there any other national events?"
"The emperor, Zhang Shicheng's department, has captured Tongzhou and other places east of Yangzhou Road. Zhang Shicheng is the confidant of our court." The servant of the military department then stood up and said.
It's Zhang Shicheng again. Why doesn't this person know how to stop? Tohuan Timur frowned. This Zhang Shicheng seemed to be his own nemesis.
At this time, the news of the fall of Taixing and other places had just been sent back to most of the capitals. Although Pingjiang Road had also fallen, the postmen responsible for transmitting the news had just departed from Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province.
"Your Majesty, why don't we recruit Zhang Shicheng and let him deal with the Red Turban Army. Zhang Shicheng is brave, and he does not belong to the Red Turban Army." Hama suddenly threw out such a strategy. If it can be done, we can put out the war everywhere without any effort.
Recruiting again? Tuohuan Timur is sitting on the throne, which means that he has to come up with greater interests in exchange. Is it necessary to make Zhang Shicheng a senior official in the province?
