Chapter 559 Yunli’s plan

"What's the matter?"

Xu Shifu, who was in a good mood, asked with a smile.

Yun Li said in a deep voice: "I received news that this piece of shit Yun Zheng is buying grain at a price much higher than the market price. It seems that Shuobei is already very short of food. We can secretly contact those grain merchants and prohibit anyone from going there. Shuobei is selling food! As long as Shuobei is short of food, the Beifu Army will inevitably be in civil strife!"

Civil strife?

Xu Shifu frowned and said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince thinks too simplistically! Once Shuobei is extremely short of food, the possibility of the Beifu Army going south to plunder is greater than the possibility of civil strife..."

Yun Li underestimated Yun Zheng's prestige in the Beifu Army!

A person who can lead the Beifu army to beat Beihuan to surrender must have very strong control over the army!

How can civil unrest be so easy?

Moreover, businessmen pursue profits!

Not a ban can stop these businessmen from selling grain to Shuobei!

Many grain merchants have close relationships with clans and clans.

Some grain merchants are even members of clans and clans.

Grain merchants, to a certain extent, are the gods of wealth for clans and clan groups.

Otherwise, those clans and clans own a large amount of land and do not need to pay taxes to the court. They harvest so much food from their land, and they can’t store it all, right?

You have to sell the food for cash, right?

There is too much involved here.

Moreover, the imperial court also has an official gathering in Fuzhou!

Can they prohibit grain merchants from selling grain to Shuobei? Can they also prohibit grain merchants from sending grain to the official market for sale?

At that time, Yunzheng will directly send people to the official market in Fuzhou to buy food. Isn't it the same?

It is not feasible to prohibit grain merchants from selling grain to Shuobei, and it may further intensify the conflicts between them and those clans and clans.

Not worth the candle!

Moreover, this move may anger Yun Zheng.

Regarding Yunzheng, Xu Shifu also has a headache now.

They want to appease Yun Zheng, but also check and balance Yun Zheng.

Especially at this juncture, Fuzhou's defense line is almost useless!

If Yun Zheng leads his troops south in anger, then they want Yun Zheng to lead his troops to withdraw to Beilu Pass, but they are afraid that they will have to pay a greater price!

After listening to Xu Shifu's analysis of the pros and cons, Yun Li suddenly frowned.

He only wanted to check and balance Yunzheng, but he didn't consider so many things.

After Xu Shifu said this, he also felt that it was not reliable to prohibit grain merchants from selling grain to Shuobei.

After thinking for a moment, Yun Li gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's let the victims from the south move to Shuobei!"

Isn’t this bitch Lao Liu trying every means to move people to Shuobei?

They spread the news in the south, saying how good it would be to go to Shuobei, and guiding the victims in the south to run to Shuobei!

He wanted to see how many victims Yun Zheng could feed with the food in his hands!

Now, the time for spring plowing has long passed in Shuobei.

These victims went to Shuobei. If they wanted to help Yunzheng open up wasteland and produce something productive, they would have to wait until next year's autumn harvest!

This is more than a year!

For such a long time, Yunzheng had to support these victims.

If we guide more than 100,000 victims to Shuobei, how much food will Yunzheng consume?

As long as Shuobei doesn't have that much food, a civil uprising is likely to occur!

By then, Shuobei will be plunged into chaos!

Letting some victims go to Shuobei can also reduce the pressure on disaster relief in the south!

This is simply a brilliant plan that kills three birds with one stone!

Listening to Yun Li's words, Xu Shifu couldn't help but think deeply.

Admittedly, Yun Li's strategy was a good one.

However, if Yunzheng can hold on, they will be sending people to Shuobei!

The more people who go to Shuobei, the more soldiers Yunzheng can recruit.

Didn't Wei Wenzhong once want to defeat Yunzheng with more than 100,000 field soldiers?

The results of it?

It's not like he sent so many troops to Yunzheng in vain.

With the bloody lesson of Wei Wenzhong, if they make the same mistake again, they will be really stupid!

However, Xu Shifu thought carefully and gave up this concern.

Now, Beihuan has completely surrendered!

Even if the victims from the south don't go to Shuobei, won't Yunzheng get supplementary troops?

Thinking of this, Xu Shifu immediately nodded, "Then follow His Highness the Crown Prince's clever plan!"

……

After leaving Mayi, Yunzheng disguised himself as a businessman and rushed to Xin'an Town.

This Xin'an Town is a town formed by poor people who moved from the pass.

Currently, thirty to forty thousand people have gathered in Xin'an Town.

In terms of population size, this has reached the population size of a lower county.

However, because everyone first called this place Xin'an Town, they have gradually become accustomed to it.

Although Xinan Town was only a prototype, Ye Zi still sent some basic officials over.

He wanted to see what was going on in Xin'an Town now, and also see if the officials sent by Ye Zi treated the people who had moved here well.

At present, there is no official road from Mayi to Xin'an Town.

Although the distance from Mayi to Xin'an Town is not that far, it took them a day and a half to get there.

As soon as he entered Xin'an Town, Yunzheng saw a lively scene.

Although the sun is scorching now, busy figures can be seen everywhere outside Xin'an Town.

Some people are working in the wilderness under the scorching sun, others are building simple houses, and others are helping to build workshops.

It can be seen that these poor people who moved here are really motivated.

Maybe these people really see hope!

Yunzheng looked all the way and finally got off the carriage at the entrance of the town.

"Go look inside!"

Yunzheng was in a good mood, so he took Miaoyin and they walked into the town.

Inside the town, there was also a lively scene.

However, because Xin'an Town is still under construction, it looks a bit messy.

Most people here still live in tents, but some simple thatched houses have been built.

The market planned by Ye Zi's people has also taken shape, but there are almost no vendors in the market.

This is also normal.

After all, these people had just moved here, and few of them had any extra money.

"We'll still have to build a bank here later!"

Yun Zheng whispered to Miao Yin beside him.

With banks, these people have a place to borrow money, and with money in their hands, they can make the market prosperous.

Miaoyin pursed her lips and smiled, "After building a bank, these poor people have nothing to use as collateral to borrow money!"

'Small loan, no mortgage required! '

Yun Zheng smiled and said: "Just use your credit to borrow money! If you don't keep your word or can't repay it, you can repay it with corvee or other methods!"

Miaoyin tilted her head and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "That's not bad! For a town like this, it should be enough to put one hundred thousand taels of silver in the bank."

"almost."

Yunzheng nodded and smiled, and then told Tong Gang, "Ask the people in the town where the government office here is."

Yunzheng was wondering whether it was time to change Xin'an Town to Xin'an County?

Soon, Tong Gang asked about the location of the Yamen.

The group of people immediately walked to the Yamen.

The Yamen here was the first to be built.

Nowadays, this Yamen has some appearance, but it still looks very shabby.

The entrance to the government office was guarded by two government officials armed with swords.

Looking from the door, you can immediately see the inside of the Yamen.

In the hall, you can still see a man sleeping on a recliner, and beside him there is a government servant fanning a cattail leaf fan.

Yo ho!

Quite enjoyable!
