Chapter 861
Chu Jiu and Guo Junnan looked at each other and smiled.
"Why are there so many?" Xu Wendong said in disbelief as he looked at the abacus beads, "I know that the salt price in the past two months is one price per day, and I can't even buy it."
"They are really brave!" Chu Jiu couldn't help but panic. During this period, the gentry and powerful people in the city were all in a state of madness, taking the opportunity to hoard food salt and raise prices.
"I'll forget it. As for the salt they stockpiled by these big merchants in Xiangyang, it's okay to eat it for ten or eight years in Xiangyang." Guo Junnan pursed his lips and looked at him and said.
"What are they hoarding so much salt?" Tang Bingzhong scratched his head and said in a daze.
"You can't eat it yourself, you can sell it!" Guo Junnan looked at them with a serious expression and said, "Jingzhou is known as the abdomen of the world. The Three Kingdoms says: The Han Dynasty in the north, Mian, and the South China Sea are all profitable, and the Wuhui in the east, the Ba, Shu, and Zhuge Longzhong's pair have clearly stated that they occupy Jingzhou, join forces with Wu to resist Cao, divide the troops into two groups, attack the Central Plains, and unify the world. The importance of its strategic position can be seen. Jingzhou is known as the thoroughfare of nine provinces, and it is not a waste of time. Bashu, Wuyue, Henan and Shaanxi, Hunan and Guizhou are the local area, and it happens to be the nine provinces and regions. The salt is along the land route and water route, and I am worried that it can't be sold!"
Guo Junnante said honestly, "This chicken shit can be used as gold coins. You said that this white salt can attract people no longer attracts people."
"They stock up on all the salt. If they don't sell it, we will eat salt too? There is no salt, but we have no strength. The combat power cannot be guaranteed." Xu Wendong said worriedly at him. Seeing the old god in the ground, why are you not in a hurry at all!
"Do you need salt?" Chu Jiu said with a smile in his eyes.
"I understand, this Brother Yan was transferred from another place." Tang Bingzhong clapped his hands and said excitedly, "I'm right."
Chu Jiu smiled and said, "Yes!" He was indeed transferred from another place.
"Oh! Brother, you're really making a fortune." Tang Bingzhong rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Oh!"
"He...he...where do they get that money? Especially the current money." Xu Wendong said stutteringly with his lips.
"They borrowed the seal money." Chu Jiu said with a cold look at them, and a smile flashed in his eyes, "It is very ruthless to use real estate, shops and land as collateral."
"Who has so much money to put in stamps!" Xu Wendong asked in surprise.
"Of course there are some people." Chu Jiu said guiltily with his index finger rubbing his nose.
Tang Bingzhong looked at him with his eyes open and suddenly opened his eyes wide and said, "This rich rich man is not you!"
"Cough cough..." Chu Jiu clenched his fists and coughed lightly, "It's true!"
"What does it mean? Yes, no, no, no." Tang Bingzhong said in a hurry as he looked at him.
"Yes!" Chu Jiu said at them calmly.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Tang Bingzhong knocked on his head and said, "Brother, where did you get so much money?"
"That's right, the money in the Xiangyang Treasury looks like it's not enough to spend? Brothers chew every day, but it's silver." Xu Wendong looked at him in confusion and said, "Also, the business of salt has been disbanded by Marshal Gu. What should we do with our future military pay?"
"Have our salary paid delayed?" Chu Jiumeifeng jumped lightly and looked at them and said.
"No, no, but aren't we worried? We can't sit there and eat the whole country!" Xu Wendong said to them worriedly.
"Don't worry, there is some silver." Chu Jiu looked at them calmly and said, "At this time, I can tell you too."
"What?" Xu Wendong looked at him curiously and said.
"Remember Cheng Dakui and his team?" Chu Jiu looked at them calmly and said.
"Cheng Dakui? I really can't remember this one when I heard it." Xu Wendong's eyes turned and he shook his head slightly.
"I remembered that Ding Da followed him." Guo Junnan remembered, "I have been away for a lot of days."
"It's the one driving the convoy, with empty boxes on it, and he is very bandit-like." Tang Bingzhong also remembered, "a very hardworking person."
"Bingzhong is really right. They are bandits. Changsheng and they robbed Yanting for the 400,000 military pay for the Jingzhou official army to besiege us." Chu Jiu glanced at them one by one and said word by word.
"Cough cough..." Cough sounds in the study one after another.
"Are you so surprised? You've never seen it before." Chu Jiu said to them with a funny look.
"No, no." Guo Junnan swallowed his saliva after hearing this, "I was just too surprised. The news revealed from the Lord Yan Ting mobilized the entire Jingzhou to attack us."
"It can also be seen from the amount of silver, and the book is lowered." Chu Jiu frowned slightly and looked at them, "This is a tough battle. Kill them, and the whole Jingzhou is ours. Taking this strategic location, Junnan is not saying that the nine provinces of Jingzhou are thoroughfares. Changsheng also said that the Huaihe line is a strategic location, and guarding the river must guard the Huaihe." He looked at them with bright eyes and said, "I originally wanted to take down Xiangyang and separate Yanting from Jingzhou. We will slowly erode Jingzhou. Now the plan has changed and I will take them in one pot."
"Then we can prepare more fully if we rob the money and delay their siege." Tang Bingzhong said happily, "This boy Changsheng can do great things when he goes home."
"He also met him by accident, and he didn't know each other without fighting with Dakui." Chu Jiu smiled and told the relationship between the two.
Tang Bingzhong recalled and said, "This Dakui's mouth is tight enough. I didn't ask any questions. When I asked anxiously, I said, "You should find the Lord! The Lord asked me to keep the secret."
"Haha..." Guo Junnan shook his head and laughed when he heard this, "There are people who are thick and thin, but this immortality is bold enough. This is 400,000 taels of silver. I just asked him to send it with confidence, and the wealth is touching."
"It's also a test for Dakui and the others." Chu Jiu said with a clear look at them.
"Brother, brother, it turns out that the secret thunder has been coming these days. Is it just to deal with the officials and troops of various Jingzhou?" Tang Bingzhong rubbed his hands excitedly, "I can't wait now."
"No hurry, let's wait for the effort." Chu Jiu looked at them calmly and said, "The focus is still in the city now."
"When it comes to the city, does the eldest brother come from so much salt?" Xu Wendong looked at Chu Jiu and asked curiously, "We can defeat the gentry in the city with salt." Judging from Jun Nan's abacus, the eldest brother's hand seemed to have as much salt as possible.
"Don't worry about this." Old God Chu Jiu said.
It's another secret, okay! Don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Xu Wendong looked at him anxiously and said, "The people in this city are about to fast salt. Will they cause trouble?"
"Ordinary people have never eaten a few bites of salt in their lifetime, don't worry! Some of this salt is something that will make you unable to finish it for ten or eight years." Chu Jiu looked at him calmly and said.
"Master, we can't have enough salt to the outside world, and people will see the flaws." Guo Junnan reminded him after hearing this.
Chu Jiu turned his dark eyes when he heard this, "This show must be done just like it." He sat upright and looked at them seriously and said, "We can't sell a grain of salt even if we have a person. Pay more attention to it and calm the emotions of the brothers."
"But what should I do if I really lose salt?" Tang Bingzhong asked anxiously, "Brother, since I'm doing a show, I'll do it. Why do I have to do it in real life!"
"You must do a real trick, and you cannot have any flaws. Any omission will lead to the wasted all previous efforts." Chu Jiu put his elbow on the table, and pointed at them with his index finger, "Keep confidential, keep it confidential to me."
"This is natural." Tang Bingzhong and the others stood up and said.
"But what should I do if there is no salt?" Guo Junnan said to him with some concern.
"For the time being, use animal blood to replenish salt." Chu Jiu looked at them and pondered for a moment.
"That's all." Guo Junnan nodded at him and said.
"It's almost done. The gentry in Xiangyang City has been the grasshoppers in the autumn for a few days." Chu Jiu said relaxedly with clear eyes.
Tang Bingzhong said with a smile on his face, "These bastards can't even find the grave when they cry."
"I'm worried what if they resist?" Xu Wendong frowned and looked at them, "No matter how you say, they also have military soldiers or servants."
"Just they, the mob, fight against us head-on, I really don't know how to die." Tang Bingzhong curled his lips disdainfully, his eyes not hiding his contempt.
"Just as Bingzhong said, it's not worth fearing." Chu Jiu snorted coldly and said seriously, "Let our people be more vigilant in case someone is anxious to jump over the wall."
"Yes!" the three of them responded in unison.
Tang Bingzhong looked at Chu Jiu with curiosity and asked, "Brother, where is Changsheng! I followed you to the countryside, but I didn't come back. After finally meeting you in a hurry, I got the people and there was no one again. Why didn't I come back yet? If I don't come back, I won't see us slaughtering fat sheep."
"If he has something important to do, don't worry about him." Chu Jiu's dark eyes flashed with a shattered light.
"Brother, can't you say this?" Tang Bingzhong said as he looked at him in green light.
"You will know when you should know." Chu Jiu said with bright eyes at him, "If nothing unexpected happens, you will know soon."
"Then let's wait patiently." Tang Bingzhong said with a smile at him.
"Master, I have important things to report to you." The anxious voice of a guard from outside the door came from the door.
"Come in." Chu Jiu raised his voice and said, looking at the door.
The guard lifted the curtain and walked in, bowed and said, "Report to the Lord, some people have come to the door."
"Oh! Did they say what they mean?" Chu Jiumeifeng raised his eyes and said, "I looked at him."
