Zhang Song fully carried forward the spirit of searching for the bottom, and asked again, "Your Majesty wants to use economic means. I don't know what kind of means this economic means is? How to deal with Gongsun Zan. Specifically, what are the arrangements? "
Zhang Xiu said: "the so-called economic means is economic blockade. Youzhou is different from Jizhou and Jingzhou. Both Jizhou and Jingzhou are rich and self-sufficient. "
"Even our external blockade has little impact on such rich places as Jizhou and Jingzhou. But for Youzhou, once all the goods and materials are blocked, merchants are not allowed to go north, and any goods and materials are not allowed to enter Youzhou, it will have a great impact on Youzhou. "
"The most important thing is that this time Gongsun Zan had to compensate a lot of food and money, making Youzhou, which was not so rich, even poorer."
Zhang xiudao said: "this is the means to punish Gongsun Zan."
"A man who is poor to the core, no matter how much he does, is dying. When you can't get more salt, iron and grain, you have to be self-sufficient. "
"When Gongsun Zan was unable to satisfy himself, he had to exploit the common people and strengthen the army in order to deal with the attack of Qin. This led to a vicious circle. In the end, the situation in Youzhou would be more and more broken."
"In addition, we can also arrange for some businessmen to enter Youzhou to operate. In short, prices will be raised, so that the whole Youzhou will be in turmoil."
Zhang Xiu said in a deep voice: "this blockade will be a nightmare for Gongsun Zan."
"Hiss!"
Zhang Song finally understood everything.
He understood roughly, this is a blockade, all can supply Youzhou, all blockade. In the past, there were countless merchants going north to transport grain or other materials, but after Zhang Xiu blocked the pass, everything changed, and Youzhou had to rely on itself.
Zhang Song solemnly said, "Your Majesty is wise!"
Sima Yi also said: "Your Majesty's move didn't attack Gongsun Zan, but in essence, it was tantamount to drawing money from the bottom of the pot. Such means are really powerful. "
Jia Xu said: "Your Majesty's plan will be successful. It's the first time I've heard of such a way of war, but just as your majesty said, it's the most suitable means for Youzhou. "
Zhang Xiu said: "after Gongsun Zan's grain and cloth are delivered, it can be operated."
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Everyone spoke together.
One by one, when they looked at Zhang Xiu, they were full of admiration. However, this is not surprising. After all, what Zhang Xiu has done is not just one or two things, but also beneficial to Daqin.
After Zhang Xiu made a plan, Le he Dang was already on his way, and quickly went back. Because at this time of the weather, one more day will be warm one day, after all, has been approaching the beginning of spring.
Even though it's still cold in the north, it's actually much better than when it's coldest.
It's spring in February when Le he returns to Ji City.
On February 2, the dragon looks up.
Everything revives.
For the state of Yan, it's time to cultivate, but the land in Youzhou is poor and there is not much development, so although the people are farming, it's not as easy as in the south.
After all, today's economy is limited.
Le he didn't care about the cultivation of Yan state. He only knew that he wanted to carry out Zhang Xiu's order so that Qin state could be unified earlier. He went straight into the palace and into the main hall.
For Gongsun Zan, he could not wait to come back earlier to know the situation. So as soon as we get the news of Le he Dang's return, we can't wait to meet him in the hall.
Gongsun Zan couldn't wait to say, "fourth younger brother, what's the situation of this mission?"
"It's done!"
Le he zhengse said: "but Zhang Xiu, also put forward the conditions, and even quite harsh."
Gongsun Zan said: "what conditions?"
Le he replied: "to your majesty, the conditions for Zhang Xiu are 150000 stone grains, 10000 pieces of silk, 6000 Jin of gold and 6000 horses. There is no room for any change in this condition, and Zhang song must be sent to the Jizhou border by the end of this month, otherwise Zhang Xiu will have to attack. "
"Hiss!"
Gongsun Zan took a cool breath.
150000 stone grain, 10000 pieces of silk, 6000 Jin of gold and 6000 horses were not a small amount, even enough to make his flesh ache.
Gongsun Zan's face changed again and again.
It's too hard to choose.
Gongsun Zan thought about it and asked, "fourth brother, didn't you fight for it?"
Le he zhengse said: "Your Majesty, it's not that my younger brother doesn't fight for it. It's Zhang Xiu who insists that there will be so many. You didn't see that battle at that time. Zhang Xiu mobilized all the generals under her command and assumed the posture of killing people. "
"My younger brother also tried his best to fight for it. He said that our country was sincere in seeking peace and resolving conflicts. But the problem is that Zhang Xiu doesn't agree at all. Even his younger brothers were sold miserably, saying that Yan was no better than Jin or Qin. ""Yan country is a poor place."
"However, Zhang Xiu still firmly refused. Therefore, there is no way for my younger brother. My younger brother had no choice but to agree. However, it depends on your Majesty's decision. "
Le he continued: "if your majesty does not agree, you can break the contract. Anyway, as long as it's a breach of contract, that is, a war with Zhang Xiu, it doesn't matter. "
Gongsun Zan snorted and said: "fourth brother, it's easy for you to talk about the war with Zhang Xiu. Our current strength is unable to compete with Zhang Xiu, and we are unable to fight against Zhang Xiu. "
"Alas..."
Gongsun Zan sighed.
That rough cheek, full of helpless and sad.
Gongsun Zan was clear about the economic situation of the state of Yan. It was not easy to take out more than 100000 stone grain at one time. Even there were war horses and cloth, which made Gongsun Zan headache.
Of course, Gongsun Zan was able to take it out, but the problem was that after giving so much money and food to Zhang Xiu, it had a huge impact on the state of Yan, because his Treasury lost a lot of stored food, and the loss was huge.
Le he asked: "Your Majesty, is this treaty complied with?"
"Sure!"
Gongsun Zan is biting his teeth, but he has no choice.
He wanted to refuse, but the problem was that once he refused, it would be a disaster for Yan. Of course, Gongsun Zan also knew that giving Zhang Xiu food and money was a chronic suicide.
But even if he knew, Gongsun Zan couldn't help it.
Gongsun Zan immediately arranged an internal servant to call Guan Jing. After Guan Jing entered, Gongsun Zan directly said Zhang Xiu's conditions and agreed to them.
Finally, Gongsun Zan said, "Guan situ, give Zhang Xiu food, horses, cloth, etc., immediately prepare, and then arrange people to send them out of Jicheng immediately, to the Jizhou border. Zhang Xiu ordered that the goods should be delivered at the end of February. Now it's early this month, and we don't have much time left. After calming Zhang Xiu, we will consider the development of strength. "
"Here it is
Guan Jing solemnly responded.
For Guan Jing, he also knew that this clause had a great influence on the state of Yan. But Yan country's national strength is weak, weak country has no diplomacy, does not have enough power, he also has no way.
Guan Jing said: "Your Majesty, although Zhang Xiu has promised. But I think that we still have to set up checkpoints and garrison troops at the border. Once Zhang Xiu is killed, there will be resistance. "
Gongsun Zan said: "at this time, you look at the arrangement."
Guan Jing said, "I obey you!"
Gongsun Zan waved his hand. Guan Jing and Le walked out of the hall together. When they got out of the hall, Guan Jing looked at Le he Dang and said, "Your Highness, the situation in Dayan is not good now. Your Highness has countless shops and money. I wonder if your highness can help the Treasury and support your majesty? "
Yue he said in a deep voice: "Guan Jing, don't deceive people too much. You asked me to go as an envoy, and now you've decided on the king. If the second brother, the third brother and others also agree, I have no opinion. But it's impossible for me to do good by myself. "
With that, when the big sleeve of Le he brushed, he turned and left.
When Le Hedang returned to his house, he was thinking about the connection with the royal guards. During the day, no one came to visit, but in the evening, someone came to visit. They were the people of the royal guards.
The person who can't come here is not the person in charge of Jicheng royal guards. He is just an ordinary royal guards. He tells lehedang where to contact him. If lehedang has any news to send, he can go to the contact place to inform him.
In addition, there is no news about the royal guards.
There's no need to be too happy.
For Le Hedang, it is the best result to contact the royal guards of Ji City.
