Qian Dafang, Dou Heng and others were originally coming to the prisoners, and they really didn't think much about the poor mountains and rivers, because the battle had not started yet, so it's hard to say who the poor mountains and rivers would be, but once the war started, there would definitely be prisoners. This is common sense, especially the other party is Goguryeo. The Tang Dynasty has been using troops in this area and has always suppressed the other party to fight, and has never fought on its own territory.

Now Han Yi suddenly threw out a "poor mountains and bad waters", and Dou Heng, Zou Fengchi, Zhang Daqi and others were all regretful.

Because they not only lack people, but also wood. In order to restrict the deforestation of forests, Han Yi proposed the policy of exchanging wood for wood. If you want to cut trees, you have to plant trees first, which is very troublesome. However, with the development of the commodity economy, this wood is becoming more and more valuable because there is no plastic these days. Although Goguryeo is poor and bad, it is still a mountain at least. For their businessmen, Goguryeo has quite a few resources.

“Can you even buy land?”

Money is bright and bright.

The ancients couldn't play other things, but they were all experts in the playground, even a thousand years later. This place is the belief of the Chinese.

Han Yi nodded and said, "Yes! Sell everything, but there are restrictions on quantity."

This is a little too much.

The merchants were about to cry. Of course, they did not bring all their assets and would never affect their trading operations. But if they lose money, don’t think about expansion in the next two years. However, if they obtain sufficient labor, they will all be a long way to go, because they have opened up many previously closed markets. Unfortunately, there is not enough supply of goods, because they lack manpower and the court has to impose slave taxes, which is even worse.

This is why they rushed over before getting Han Yi's affirmative answer, because they were too short of people, but now it seems that they still have less money.

Yuwen Xiumi said: "Then I wonder how to buy and sell this land?"

Han Yi did not make a sound, but asked Xiong to bring his bag, and then took out a quotation from the bag and handed it to them.

Qian Dafang and the others gathered together immediately.

This quotation is very clear and clearly marked.

Captives are divided into three or six levels. This slave bill before the Tang Dynasty had been clearly explained, just copy it directly. The most expensive one is ten coins and the cheapest one is one.

Mountains, aquatic products, land, and coal are really just like Han Yi’s words, and only those that are available are sold.

This quotation is very attractive to them, because what they lack now is resources, which are what they need. When they really see everything, they feel that they need it.

Qian Dafang suddenly asked, "What if Goguryeo is not destroyed, what's the point?"

Han Yi said: "If you get the answer, then we will jump into the sea together. If we finish all the time, we will lose all our worries."

Qian Dafang laughed a little awkwardly.

Han Yi said again: "You must remember that this matter has nothing to do with the court. Your Majesty will just let me manage all this. If there is a rumor that will affect Your Majesty's reputation, don't worry about your money, but about your life."

"I'll know this, I'll know this."

They just seek wealth, and the rest does not matter.

Han Yi nodded and said, "You guys watch first, I'll go out for a walk."

"Ah? Yes, yes."

When this quotation comes out, of course they have to carefully study how to use limited funds to buy the combination that is most beneficial to them.

Han Yi also left with great tactfulness because he was the seller, so some problems were inconvenient to discuss in front of him.

As soon as he left the courtyard, Ono said, "Xiao Pang, let's go to the woods over there to take a look."

Brother Xiong is rare to go out with Han Yi, Ono, and he was very excited, nodded and said, "Brother Han, are you going?"

Han Yi said: "I won't go anymore. Please be careful and don't go too far."

"Why!"

The two of them immediately walked over there.

Just as they left, Yuanzhe came.

Yuanzhe bowed slightly, then whispered: "Uncle."

Han Yi looked around and saw that there was no one around, and then said, "It's a good job."

Yuanzhe said: "Actually, I didn't do anything. My uncle, you are as expected by God."

Han Yi shook his head and smiled, and said, "What's the situation now?"

Yuanzhe said: "This is even smoother than we expected. In recent years, there have been no natural disasters in the entire Shandong region. Moreover, the land here is fertile and has bumper harvests every year. Every household has a lot of grain stored. Not to mention those landlords, their granaries can no longer be put down. Many landlords sell grain to the Khitans, but how much can the Khitans buy. When we came, the price of grain in the entire Henan Road was only about five cents, and now, the price of grain in Qingzhou, Laizhou and Dengzhou has risen to fifteen cents. And as you expected, after the news about it was released, many landlords are reluctant to sell grain to us. I don't think it will take long to find their uncle."

Han Yi said: "How much food have these merchants bought now?"

Yuanzhe said: "Now there are many merchants buying food nearby, and I guess it should be able to reach about five million stones."

The people only swept five million stones of grain, and it was not forcibly collected by the imperial court. This is definitely a record, and it can also show the wealth of the Shandong region.

Of course, the ordinary people here can't get so much food, which is basically bought from those big landlords, because the taxes in the Tang Dynasty were very special. You can say that it is fair, but it is also right to be unfair, because the taxes in the Tang Dynasty were calculated based on this head, and the slaves did not need to pay taxes. It means that you have 10,000 hectares of land, and you only need to pay taxes for one person, just like the people with acre of land. This is really not too pleasant for the landlords.

Moreover, there were many landlords in Shandong, and they also had a lot of land in their hands, almost all of which were manor models. Because in the early days of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there were a large number of unmanned areas, and the people at the end of the Sui Dynasty were about to die, because there were land and no races. The Tang Dynasty did not need to nationalize the land across the country, nor did it need to defeat the landlords or reshuffle them. It only needed to nationalize those unmanned areas and then allocate them reasonably to the people. It means that the landlords' land has not touched them. They passed it down from generation to generation, and during this period, they also annexed the land of many countries.

Over the years, the weather has been good every year. Everyone has stockpiled a lot of food, and there is no natural disaster. People have a lot of food stored in their homes. Second season of rice has appeared in Jiangnan, and Luoyang is even less short of food. If you want to transport the food to Jiangnan, now the food price and freight in Jiangnan cannot be made back. It is better to burn it directly, which means that the food is not sold.

Yuanzhe came at the right time. The whole process went very smoothly. The gentry and landlords all loved these merchants because with the development of the commodity economy, currency became very important, and currency was concentrated in the hands of merchants in Chang'an and Luoyang. The food could not be sold, but the currency could be purchased many things, which really was needed for each person.

Among them, the people probably contributed about 10%, because Qian Dafang not only brought money, but also transported a lot of goods. The Chang'an handicraft workshop is already very developed, and their goods are cheap and easy to use. People in this area exchange food for some daily necessities.

Of course, all of this was calculated by Han Yi, and there was no turmoil in his eyes. He nodded slightly and said with thought: "In addition to the local merchants and landlords, as well as the food and grass in nearby prefectures and counties, it should not be a problem to exceed 10 million stones."

Yuanzhe said: "But will this be a little more? Our Tang Dynasty sent only 100,000 troops. Now these food and grass are transported here by merchants themselves. The court has not even sent a grain escort person. During the entire transportation process, it cannot consume much food."

Han Yi smiled and said, "As long as Goguryeo can be eliminated, what is this ten million stone of grain? Even if you don't fight, so many people have to eat so much food. The food has to be consumed, and it's not to feed pigs. Besides, although Goguryeo is poor and bad, the money is still worth it."

Yuanzhe laughed and said, "That's true. I just hope we can destroy Goguryeo in one fell swoop."

Han Yi said: "This is a must. Your Majesty has said that this battle is arbitrage, that means that Goguryeo must be eliminated. Sikong and the others are all so sad. I think the chances of winning are still very high, otherwise I would not take on this job."

Han Yi only stayed here for one night and discussed with them how to trade at that time. Such transactions cannot be done openly. After all, it is a bad thing and requires a "tactic understanding" to do something. This aspect must be arranged, at least it should not be too ugly.

The next day, Han Yi set out to Laizhou Prefecture. Qian Dafang and the others did not follow him because they had to calculate and calculate. This was not a small deal. After all, it involved many aspects, and they had never done such a deal, so they all seemed very cautious.

After half a day of travel, I arrived in Laizhou City.

I saw some people standing in front of the city gate. It was his deputy envoy, Duke Guan Guoyang Sixun.

"Duke Guanguo, Han Yi can't afford to do this!"

Han Yi hurriedly got off the horse and bowed his hands repeatedly.

Yang Sixun said, "It's okay, it's okay, I'm very leisurely anyway."

Han Yi nodded with a smile.

Seeing that he was not surprised, Yang Sixun understood it and smiled and said, "Shangshu Han, you are really a god. I have escorted food and grass several times, but I have never been as easy as I can. You don't know. In just these few days, I sat in the official office every day, listening to the servants' reports, how much food and grass were transported to the granary, really."

I was very excited when I spoke, and I didn’t know how to describe it afterwards.

Usually, the logistics manager has to plan how much grain to transport from various places, how many people to send, and which road to take, how much loss will be on the way. For battles like this, it is impossible for the grain escort officer to be a few years older than that, but now it is better. Every day when the servants get up, they come to report that there is another 10,000 stone of grain in the warehouse today, and another 50,000 stone in the warehouse in the afternoon.

Because merchants buy from nearby areas, they can directly take the water route and transport it to Laizhou. The water routes in this area are quite developed, so they buy all the way along the way, very quickly.

If it were the court, each state would have to transport food and argue with each other. Now all prefectures and counties are quite free, and the manpower and material resources have been freed up, so we are doing it very calmly.

Han Yi smiled and said, "I'm just a little bit as low-key as possible."

Yang Sixun laughed. When he was in Chang'an, he couldn't sleep at night, but after coming here, he slept more fragrantly than who he had. This was so interesting because he didn't know how much food was transported.

Han Yi said again: "Where is Li Jingye and the others?"

Yang Sixun said: "I arranged for them to help in the warehouse and dock, but to be honest, they can really help a little, because they all recognize numbers and are aristocratic, so many things they come forward, which is better."

Han Yi smiled and nodded and said, "That's good!"

The two talked a little in front of the city gate, and then entered the city together. However, the city was not as lively as Han Yi had expected. There were many soldiers patrolling, which showed that they had entered a state of combat readiness.

When I arrived at Laizhou Prefecture, I heard a hearty laughter as soon as I entered the school, "Isn't it a pity to have friends coming from afar!"

It was the veteran general Su Dingfang.

Han Yi clasped his fists and said, "General Su is fine."

Su Dingfang smiled with a smile on his face, his face full of red light, his voice as loud as a bell, and his expression was flying, and he seemed very happy. Of course, he wanted to fight. At such an age, he would have no chance to make achievements. A battle of this scale had special significance. The emperor was able to call him, and he was so happy that he received Li Zhi's edict and rushed over.

Han Yi said again: "I really didn't expect General Su to arrive so soon."

Su Dingfang waved his hand and said, "It's not too fast, the war has begun."
