All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 996: Who can withstand this?

"There is nothing to worry about," Yu Youyao frowned and suddenly interrupted him: "Back then, the You army paid a heavy price to barely hold the Jinzhou defense line. You failed to give the Di people a head-on attack on the battlefield. I have always been worried about the invasion of Beidi, and since then, you have begun to plot revenge. I think you have been planning this battle for a long time, and you have been preparing for it for several years, so you should be sure of victory."

However, no one who participated in the case of King Zhou Li had a good end, and Beidi, as one of the initiators, naturally could not escape the wrath of Yin Huaixi's revenge.

Yin Huaixi did not deny it.

Yu Youyao said softly: "I know that before King Liang raised his army, you secretly sent your men who knew how to do business to disperse into Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Anhui and other important grain-producing areas to purchase grain at high prices and by speculating at low prices. The troops and horses have not moved yet, but the food and grass go first, I believe in you."

At that time, no one knew that King Liang would rebel.

The price of grain has been a little higher due to the drought. However, because most of the victims have been resettled in Liaodong, these important grain-producing areas have not been affected by the disaster, and grain prices are still in a relatively stable state.

The people sent by Yin Huaixi continued to purchase grain on the market at higher prices.

As the price of food increased, some wealthy businessmen were like cats that smelled fishy, ​​trying every means to buy and store grain, and then resold it to people in Yin Huaixi in order to sell it at a high price and make huge profits.

Rich businessmen were buying and hoarding grains, and grain prices would inevitably continue to rise. At this time, Yin Huaixi's people fished in troubled waters and sold the grains in their hands to them, slowly returning the grains to the market.

In turn, profit from the price difference of ‘buy low, sell high’ from wealthy businessmen.

As the amount of food on the market gradually increases, the price of food is bound to gradually fall. Rich businessmen will take advantage of the good price of food to sell their accumulated food to the market price.

At this time, Yin Huaixi's people sold 50% of the grain on the market at a lower price.

Yin Huaixi didn't want to do it all and bought 50% of the grain, so that the wealthy businessmen who wanted to collect grain and make a lot of money would lose all their money, but he finally left a way for the common people to survive, and at the same time he also avoided a huge increase in the grain supply on the market. A decrease will cause panic in the local area and alert the court.

The people who did these things pretended to be businessmen from the north and took the road guide issued by Youzhou Prefecture. There were almost no obstacles along the way.

The north hosts a large number of refugees, and the food shortage is well known, so it makes sense to buy food on a large scale.

No one doubts that this is a group of profiteers who maliciously speculate at high prices and low prices.

Therefore, Yin Huaixi obtained a large amount of grain in the same way.

Most of the five places in the Central Plains were along lakes and rivers. Yin Huaixi had merchant ships in his hands. It was very convenient to transport food by water by merchant ships.

During that time, almost every day, merchant ships would dock at Liancheng, and batches of food would be quietly transported into the military camp.

When the same bad behavior of maliciously raising and lowering food prices occurred in various areas of the Central Plains, causing a significant reduction in food in various places, the King of Liang had already rebelled.

The court will put this debt on the head of Liang Wang.

No one knows that Yin Huaixi did all this.

Although he was a bit unscrupulous, Yu Youyao also knew that even if Yin Huaixi did not do this, most of the food would only fall into the hands of King Liang and not reach the people's stomachs. The strength of Liang's army would greatly increase, and the people would still suffer.

Yin Huaixi's behavior is understandable.

As for how Yu Youyao knew?

First, Yin Huaixi's merchant ship cooperates with her, so she knows about the movements of the merchant ship.

Secondly, Yin Huaixi never deliberately hides anything.

Yu Youyao took a deep breath: "After Ye Hanyuan took charge of the defense of the southeast coast, the southeast coast has almost become your back garden. I don't know what agreement you and the Lin and Yan families have reached. The Lin and Yan families The authentic medicinal materials under your control have been provided to Youjun several times in the past six months. Anshan is your base camp. You have a foundry there. Silk from the spring and autumn of this year has been put into armor. The production of…”

There is also the war horse exchanged with Beidi earlier...

The King of Liang had been plotting a rebellion for many years and was well prepared.

But Yin Huaixi occupied all the resources in the north and south. When King Liang's army entered Jiangxi, Hubei and other places, they would find that they were almost empty shells.

Yin Huaixi said: "Beidi has broken through Jinzhou's defense line three times in this dynasty. They already have quite a lot of experience in how to break through Jinzhou's defense. Although I am confident that I can defend Jinzhou, the battlefield is changing rapidly..."

"I won't leave," Yu Youyao's expression was firm, revealing a hint of stubbornness: "I'm not a burden to you. You sent me to Liancheng, so you can rest assured that I'm not under your nose?!"

Don't worry, of course not! How can he rest assured that the person is not under his nose? !

Yin Huaixi was persuaded, but he was still worried about leaving the person in Xiangping City.

"The best way is," Yu Youyao smiled and curved her lips, looking at him with bright eyes: "I will accompany you to Jinzhou and put me under your nose, so you can rest assured."

Her bright eyes were like shining stars. Looking at them with such bright eyes, Yin Huaixi opened his mouth to refuse, but the words were stuck in his throat, and his heart couldn't help but feel weak.

Yu Youyao blinked his eyes and used his trump card, taking Yin Huaixi's hand and shaking it: "Take me with you, okay, I'm very good, I will definitely not cause trouble."

The coquettish tone is soft and glutinous, just like the green dumplings eaten on the Dragon Boat Festival. The outside is green dumpling noodles made of mugwort, and the red bean paste filling inside is soft, waxy and sweet when you take a bite.

He, who usually doesn't like to eat, also ate a lot for the first time.

Who can withstand this? !

"Ahem," Yin Huaixi hurriedly cleared her throat, swallowed the word 'good' in a hurry, and deliberately made a straight face, trying to dissuade her from going to the front line: "Nonsense, the confrontation between the two armies is absolutely impossible. It's not a child's play, how can I take you there with me, you don't even have to think about it..." I thought.

The last word "think" was suppressed because of the little girl's suddenly depressed face.

After being attacked, Yu Youyao looked at him pitifully, as pitifully as he looked.

She pursed her lips, with a stubborn expression as if she wanted to cry or not: "I'm really good, and I will never hold you back. How about you take me to Jinzhou with you..."

As if to prove that she was really well-behaved, the little girl sat on the chair with her hands on her legs, her head raised, looking at him eagerly, as if every hair on her body was written: Look, I'm very good, I'm very soft, I'm very obedient.

It's easy to bully.
