Chapter 323

In the big tent, the generals and cadets who were discussing military information and the subordinates who were dealing with the pamphlets of the military newspaper all looked at the mud of talking.

The Qi people's court delayed for half a month to respond to such a major event as the loss of land.

What kind of court this should be!

Su Lu thought of a court, the Qing court.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the domestic political situation was corrupt, corruption was rampant, the military readiness was relaxed, cruel repression was carried out internally, and grievances were sought for perfection externally. The last person in power once said that he would rather be friends than domestic slaves.

Is the Qi state like this.

Su Lu thought like this and casually asked the mud: "how is the domestic situation in Qi? Can there be a big grain merchant? Can you take over and sell us grain?"

Mud scratched his head when he heard the speech: "governor, forgive me. I really don't know. I've only been ambushing and assassinating these days. Governor Li Ling went to the state of Qi. Governor, you can order him to search. There should be a big grain merchant in the state of Qi. I found two big grain depots on the south bank."

Su Lu nodded and ordered them to go down and have a rest. They stretched their strings on the ground for more than a month. These boys almost reached the limit of their body.

The captain who left the Dingxiang guard in the camp called. Su Lu gave an order, and the captain took the order.

Luo Xuan said: "commander, we attacked the state of Qi and occupied the land of the state of Qi. Even if the merchants of the state of Qi were lawless, they were afraid to sell us grain and grass."

Before Su Lu could speak, Su Yun, who came in from the outside, said, "that's not sure. When Tule invaded China's Han Dynasty, my brother and Tule were in deep water. Those Jin Merchants didn't sell their luggage, grain and grass to the enemy."

Luo Xuan was tongue tied and didn't know what to say.

"Eh, what's in so many bags?"

Su Yun saw the bag in front of Su Lu Shuai's case and came forward to open it.

These bags were dirty and randomly placed in front of Su lushuai's case, which was incompatible with the surroundings. Su Yun noticed it at once.

Su Lu thought of the bag put together by several school captains before the mud left.

"Ah!"

Su Yun shouted and tightly covered the mouth of the bag. His cheeks flushed and his eyes twinkled.

"Poof."

A silver ingot rolled out of the bag and landed in front of Luo Xuan's feet.

"Is this the official silver of the state of Qi?"

Luo Xuan picked it up and took a look. He was surprised to see the inscription at the bottom.

Su Lu got up and asked, "come on, go and ask how much official silver the mud brought back this time?"

A bodyguard went out and came back a moment later. His voice said excitedly, "tell the Lord, the mud school captain has brought back 15 carts of materials, which are basically official silver of the state of Qi. Lord Zhou Yuan is counting."

Su Lu pinched his chin. The mud boy did a good job. Although silver can't be used for food, if he is willing to accept the price of the state of Tang, he can still buy a lot of food from the state of Tang.

Three days later, Li Ling returned from the state of Qi.

"Lord, the last general was lucky to live up to his life. He not only inquired about the trend of the court of Qi, but also talked about several major grain merchants of Qi. Their shopkeepers arrived."

Su Lu nodded: "why didn't Qi people send troops?"

A strange look appeared on Li Ling's face: "before kang'an was slaughtered by the mud school captain, he didn't report the loss of hundreds of miles north of the Qingjiang River to the court. Up to now, most people in the court of Qi don't know that the north of the Qingjiang River has been lost in the hands of China."

Luo Xuan asked, "it's impossible. The people of Qi can't only have Kangding to connect the sky. In that case, the court of Qi is too derelict."

Li Ling smiled: "what general Luo said is that Qi also has a monitoring system, and the intelligence has also been transmitted to the capital, but it has been suppressed by kang'an's backers."

All the people in the account looked confused and forced, lying in the slot. Unexpectedly, they can do it like this.

Su Lu smiled. Like the Qing court, many wonderful things were unimaginable.

"Zhou Yuan, you go and call your literary officials. I'll meet the big businessmen of the state of Qi and press down the price of grain. The quantity can be very high. I'm not afraid of how high it is."

Zhou Yuan looked happy. Now that he had money in hand, he would have food again soon. He solved the problem of food shortage in the Han Army and handled the logistics for the Lord. When it was recorded in the National Book of the state of Han that he had to give him a heavy color.

"Don't worry, my Lord. I will let Qi people go happily."

The next day, just before dawn, Zhou Yuan went into the big account of Su road and sat down in a chair.

Su Lu, who was giving instructions on military affairs, looked curious: "Zhou Yuan, what's the matter with you? Your eyes are as red as copper bells?"

Zhou Yuan wrinkled his face and smiled like crying: "Lord, last night I talked with the grain merchant of Qi people all night. When the price was pressed to three Wen a kilo, Qi people threw out a bait that I couldn't refuse."

Su Lu put down the brush in his hand, leaned back against the chair and asked, "can Qi people's grain merchants help cover up our attack on kang'an camp and occupy hundreds of miles of Qi's land, so that Qi won't start troops."

Zhou Yuan opened his eyes and looked at Su Lu in surprise. He looked like how you know. Did you secretly lie down outside my camp.

Su Lu waved his hand: "Qi's political situation is corrupt and corruption is rampant. It's not surprising that Qi merchants made such a promise. Compared with pressing down the food price, it's their interests that they pursue."

"OK, promise them, but you must clear the money and goods. You can't pay silver in advance. It will be handed over in the south of Jiangling."

Zhou Yuan nodded heavily, turned out of the camp and negotiated with Qi Ren.

The mud, which had been washed clean, stood beside the handsome case, his eyes were almost staring out. He didn't believe it. It could still be like this.

Su Lu smiled bitterly: "surprised, strange? If I tell you, it's not a matter for Qi people at all, do you believe it? As long as we can take out money, these Qi traders dare to sell us one by one."

Mud felt that his three outlooks were subverted by his eyes. He was dizzy. It seemed that he had not recovered from the fatigue of fighting together for days.

On the contrary, Zhao Zheng next to him said, "it's not uncommon. Mud Lord, we've seen many Qi people. They don't have enough clothes and food. They don't even have a handful of grain in the big jar at home. They have been searched and cleaned by the government. It's not surprising what such a court has done."

Zhao Zheng glanced at the gate of the camp and saw that there was no outsider. He simply opened his mouth and said, "not to mention the Qi people, that is, our Han country is not much better than the Northern Qi before the king leaves the mountain. How many good fields Shanxi Merchants occupy, and how many people in Shazhou can't eat enough."

"The eldest brother can't laugh at the second brother. We didn't get there before in the Han Dynasty. Captain Zhao Zheng said it well."

At the door, pound, the Minister of war, came in with great strides.
