Chapter 561 Suppression

As the news about the high-priced grain harvest in Shuobei spread, the grain merchants who were the first to get the news had already passed Beilu Pass with the grain.

These grain merchants are all from the Fuzhou area, which is relatively close to Shuobei.

However, these grain merchants still have doubts about Shuobei's high price for collecting grain.

Therefore, there was not much food arriving in the early stage.

Judging from the information Yunzheng received, the grain delivered by several grain merchants passing through Beilu Pass combined was less than 50,000 dans, which was just testing the waters.

After receiving this news, Yun Zheng had to sigh that these grain merchants were really cautious.

He issued a notice to collect grain.

This is equivalent to guaranteeing it with official credit.

As a result, these people are still so petty.

Alas, forget it!

This matter cannot be rushed.

Let’s wait for these grain merchants to take the bait first!

"Do you really want to build a city in Xin'an?"

In the palace, Shen Luoyan leaned against Yun Zheng and asked worriedly.

"You think it's not good to build a city?"

Yun Zheng put his palm on Shen Luoyan's belly and asked with a smile on his face.

Shen Luoyan's pregnant belly has appeared. Although Yunzheng didn't feel the movement of the child in her belly, he still felt a blood connection.

"Building a city must be a good thing!"

Shen Luoyan pursed her lips and said, "But I'm worried about our financial situation in Shuobei..."

It was not appropriate for her to use force now, and she began to learn how to deal with internal affairs with Ye Zi, hoping to help Yun Zheng share some things.

She is relatively clear about Shuobei's financial situation.

Although Yunzheng and Zhang Xu have a lot of profitable businesses, Yunzheng spends more money.

Shuobei's financial situation is not optimistic.

If they didn't have those workshops to help them make money and relied on Shuobei's own finances to support them, Shuobei's finances would have collapsed long ago.

Moreover, the further back you go, the greater the cost may be.

After the autumn harvest, the war in Shuobei is likely to resume.

No matter what, priority must be given to ensuring the Beifu Army's money and food.

Otherwise, once the Beifu Army is defeated, it will be meaningless no matter how well Yunzheng builds Shuobei.

"It's okay!"

Yun Zheng smiled disapprovingly, "Our current financial situation is indeed not optimistic, but it will improve soon! We are really going to fight Qiu Chi and Dayue Kingdom, and we can still steal gold and silver from them. Don't Worry, I know it well.”

Money, isn't it just for spending money?

They are now in a tight financial situation because they have just experienced a war and increased their population. In addition, they are building workshops aggressively.

Once all these workshops are completed, their financial situation will gradually improve.

If nothing else, there is a huge demand for briquettes in Shuobei in winter.

"Okay! As long as you know what's going on!"

Seeing that Yun Zheng was full of confidence, Shen Luoyan said no more and just leaned against Yun Zheng, enjoying the rare warmth.

However, their warmth did not last long.

Not long after, Ye Zi came over with Chen Bu.

When Shen Luoyan saw this, he immediately sat upright.

"I've met the prince and princess!"

Chen Bu salutes.

"No gift."

Yunzheng smiled, invited Ye Zi to sit next to him, and asked Chen Bu: "What the king asked you to write, did you write it so quickly?"

"Yes!"

Chen Bu said, took out the fold and respectfully presented it to Yun Zheng.

Yunzheng took the folder and looked at it carefully.

What Yunzheng asked Chen Bu to write was a summary of the governance of Shuobei.

Chen Bu also wrote in quite detail, mentioning all aspects from people's livelihood to the economy to future plans, and even mentioned some proposals for the construction of the army.

Yun Zheng was entranced by the sight and didn't say anything about Chen Buci sitting down.

Shen Luoyan was about to give Chen Bu a seat when something suddenly moved in his heart. He immediately leaned in Yunzheng's ear and asked, "Do you want to give Chen Bu a seat?"

Before this happened, she would have thought that Yun Zheng had forgotten about it.

However, since Yun Zheng invited Ye Zi to come and sit down, but did not let Chen Bu sit down, this made her wonder whether Yun Zheng did it on purpose.

Yun Zheng shook his head slightly and continued to read the book.

Got it!

This guy really did it on purpose!

She had heard someone say that this Chen Bu was a bit arrogant.

I don’t know if Yun Zheng’s move was to kill Chen Bu’s arrogance.

Yun Zheng just sat there and watched, sometimes nodding and sometimes shaking his head.

Looking at Yunzheng's expression, Chen Bu couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but his face still had a calm look.

Yun Zheng looked at it for nearly half an hour.

And Chen Bu kept standing like this.

Yun Zheng closed the fold, turned to Shen Luoyan and said, "Look at the seat and ask someone to give him a cup of tea."

Shen Luoyan nodded, then asked Chen Bu to sit down, and ordered someone to serve him tea.

"To be honest, I am a little disappointed in you!"

Yun Zheng raised his eyes and looked at Chen Bu.

Chen Buzheng was about to drink tea when his hand suddenly stopped and he said with a smile: "Please correct me, Your Majesty."

"Nothing to correct."

Yun Zheng shook his head and smiled, and returned the book to Chen Bu, "This is your book. Anyone in the palace can write it! You only considered internal factors, not external factors! Shuobei is not just Shuobei; To include Beihuan, we must also consider the court’s attitude towards Shuobei..."

As he spoke, Yunzheng whispered a few words into Ye Zi's ear.

Ye Zi pursed her lips and smiled, stood up and left.

Chen Bu's discount is actually pretty good.

But to be good, it's not much better.

Many of Chen Bu's suggestions are good, but some are taken for granted.

Soon, Ye Zi brought a pamphlet.

Yun Zheng directly asked Ye Zi to hand the pamphlet to Chen Bu, "Let's take a look!"

Chen Bu quickly stood up and took the pamphlet from Ye Zi's hand.

Chen Bu just flipped through a few pages, and sweat began to form on his forehead.

He didn't sit down either, he just kept standing reading the contents of the booklet.

The brochure also contains plans and suggestions for the development of Shuobei.

Some have been implemented in Shuobei, some have not yet been implemented, and some cannot be implemented in a short period of time, and the reasons are explained.

The more Chen Bu read, the more frightened he became, and the hand holding the pamphlet began to tremble.

Suddenly, Chen Bu had the urge to find a crack in the ground and crawl into it.

Compared with the content in this pamphlet, the excerpt he wrote is almost like nonsense!

After a long time, Chen Bu respectfully returned the pamphlet to Ye Zi, raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, bowed and said: "I am ashamed of myself, I have made the prince laugh..."

"There is no such thing as a smile but not a smile."

Yun Zheng said calmly: "You are indeed a talent, but you are not a great talent! You should stay in the palace as a steward and help Madam Zi handle some internal affairs!"

"Yes!"

Chen Bu looked ashamed, and said tentatively: "I wonder which great talent wrote this booklet? Can the prince recommend this great talent to my subordinates?"

Ye Zi pursed her lips and smiled, then nuzzled at Yunzheng, "This is the great talent you mentioned."

"This...is this written by the prince?"

Chen Bu looked at Yunzheng with a shocked face.

"Ah."

Yunzheng nodded slightly, "Okay, you can go down and rest first! If you need it, I can order someone to take you around the north of Baishui River."

Chen Bu thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then there is Prince Lao!"

"It doesn't matter!"

Yun Zheng smiled faintly and turned to look at Shen Luoyan, "Tell Zhou Mi to take him to Sanbian City."

"it is good!"

Shen Luoyan stood up and walked out with Chen Bu who was a little lost.

Looking at Chen Bu's back, Ye Zi couldn't help but chuckle, "You seem to have scared him."

"No!"

Yun Zheng shook his head, "He is a smart person, but he is also an arrogant person! Such a person needs to be suppressed. Once he puts away his arrogance and arrogance, he will become a great talent in the future..."
