"Transport grain, lord, please forgive Bowen for being stupid." Liu Bowen was thinking about how to take advantage of the drought in the north, but suddenly heard that his lord was going to take the initiative to help the Mongolian Yuan court resolve the food shortage crisis, and he couldn't help but frown and ask.

"It's nothing else, I don't want the Mongolian Yuan court to make a choice easily." Zhu Chongjiu smiled and explained confidently, "The grain ships heading north on the canal are said to have 30% more than in previous years. This is probably not entirely due to the drought. It is related to those princes competing to wrap the land and raise sheep. Since this is the case, why don't we help stabilize the grain prices in the Hama Mahjong capital, so that those princes will more actively turn fertile fields into pastures."

"Then when the time comes, the lord suddenly attacks to cut off the canal, and the food in the Mongolian Yuan is immediately unsustainable." After hearing this, Liu Bowen suddenly felt a stern in his heart. He turned to his country and looked at Zhu Chongjiu and said blankly.

This is ten times more vicious than the strategy he was thinking about. First, provide a large amount of food to the north, covering up the gradually exposed food shortage crisis until the crisis is so big that it cannot be cleaned up, and then take off the firewood from the cauldron. By then, the Mongolian and Yuan court may not even be able to take out the most basic relief grain, and can only watch the military, civilians and the people starve to death.

When did my lord become so vicious? Did he always offer him a lot of tricks and make him completely change?

In an instant, Liu Ji and Liu Bowen felt a cold air "slide" from the soles of his feet and headed straight to his top door. However, at this moment, Zhu Chongjiu smiled again and added inadvertently, "If we allow the price of grain in the north to rise now, if Tuhuan Timur noticed that the pasture would definitely be forced to turn back into farmland next year. As long as the price fluctuations in grain are not so strong, the Mongolian Yuan court would not take decisive measures. However, the wheat fields in the north are not high, and raising sheep is much more cost-effective than growing wheat. In this way, the Mongolian princes and nobles are more willing to find people to grazle rather than plant crops. The larger the pasture they opened, the more reluctant they will turn against us, the big buyer. Tuhuan Timur wants to interfere in the war between us and the Pu family in Fujian, the more likely they are to be held by the princes and nobles."

It turned out that in order to avoid fighting on both ends, Liu Ji and Liu Bowen heard that the cold air gushing up from the soles of his feet immediately dropped a lot. But was his lord really just to avoid fighting on both sides? He really didn't think of artificially creating a battle in the north. He raised his head and quickly swept across Zhu Chongjiu's face, and it was still the harmless smile of humans and animals, familiar and unfamiliar.

"This is a commercial means, just like." Liu Bowen felt guilty for no reason, and Zhu Chongjiu explained. However, halfway through his words, he suddenly realized that he could not continue the topic.

In Zhu Dapeng's memory, there are similar marketing methods, such as selling printers at prices below cost, then selling toner and ink cartridges at a profit of more than ten times the profit, and then occupying the market with free software, and then recovering funds through software derivatives or incorporating advertisements. All of them are far more complicated than the relationship between grain and wool.

However, except himself, there is no second person in the world who has the same memory, so no matter how you explain it to anyone, it will inevitably make the problem more complicated.

This sudden hesitation fell into Liu Bowen's eyes and became a conscience that had not yet subsided, or wanted to cover it up. Therefore, the latter immediately smiled and shook his head, and said first: "The two countries are fighting each other, so you don't have to say much. You have to leave everything to the ministers."

"Then" Zhu Chongjiu opened his mouth and wanted to add a few more words, but he couldn't figure out where to start. So he shook his head and said with a smile: "Then there is Lao Bowen. Taking advantage of the recent development of various departments, we can spend a few days in Yangzhou. You can ask the General Staff to come up with a strategy as soon as possible, and then take a look at it and implement it immediately."

"As for the order." Liu Bowen put away his smile and saluted solemnly.

Zhu Chongjiu nodded at him and walked towards the front door of Luhuke, Yangzhou with a smile. He had seen what he should have seen. Some things that were not sure in the past are now solid in his heart, so he didn't need to stay in Huke, otherwise, not only would local officials feel too stressed, but he himself felt uncomfortable all over.

However, when he had just left the gate of the Huke Department and saw Changlong who had signed up for the military in front of the next military department from afar, he suddenly remembered another thing, stopped and asked Xu Hongsan, who was following him: "Have the Privy Council started to do the matter of the separation of auxiliary soldiers from various legions, and how has the progress been made? How did the auxiliary soldiers under the Guard Brigade react?"

Xu Hongsan had long been used to being a personal bodyguard while working as a personal bodyguard. He thought about it and responded loudly, "Reported to the lord, Liu Zhiyuan has started to do it again, but he has not made any moves. At present, the teams heading south are still matched with the original auxiliary soldiers. They have only done some cutting in terms of amounts. The auxiliary soldiers who were intercepted will be temporarily left in the military camp outside Yangzhou City. They will first try to unify and train, and then transfer them out according to specific needs."

"Ziyun is a cautious person." Zhu Chongjiu nodded with a smile, then whispered: "You go to the Privy Council tomorrow and tell him about it, and I will find that Han Laoliu can speak eloquently and can help train auxiliary soldiers."

"Yes." Xu Hongsan agreed without hesitation without thinking. Then, he realized what the sentence contained. He was stunned for a moment, and a hint of surprise surged on his face.

The governor was still the former governor. No matter how powerful the newcomer was, he never forgot the old brothers in the world. No matter how disappointed the old brothers' performances were, as long as they could change their past mistakes, he would not hesitate to give the other party another chance to return to his side and continue to fight side by side.

But if you fight together, you can enjoy wealth and honor together. Who can still bear to abandon such a lord? Who can still follow such a lord after meeting it?

While he was feeling, Liu Bowen quickly chased after him and whispered: "Lord, there are many young and strong people coming to join the army today. I should have congratulated you. However, if so much land is distributed, wouldn't there be many people going to farm? This strategy seems to be inconsistent with the lord's previous strategy of supporting industry and commerce."

"Bowen really looks at the long term." Zhu Chongjiu heard this and just thought for a moment, then shook his head with a smile, "It's okay, the benefits of farming are limited in the end, and they will be seriously affected by the climate and season. As long as the river continues to flow, the workshop can continue to operate, and can constantly spin wool and cotton into threads, weave cloth, and then sell them to the world. Therefore, the general trend of the world in the future is that farming is not as good as raising sheep, and raising sheep is not as good as opening factories and workshops. As long as I, Huaiyang, are not captured by the enemy, this is common sense. The people will eventually completely change their way of making a living and are forced or actively transferred from the land to the city."

"This?" Liu Bowen was slightly stunned when he heard Zhu Chongjiu say so confidently, with a little confusion in his eyes.

Another question that cannot be explained to the other party. Zhu Chongjiu smiled and sighed softly. The land enclosure movement and sheep eating people were not legends, but bloody reality in the memory of another time and space. The so-called "pigs in industrialized countries eat better than the people in pure agricultural countries." It is not just a joke.

In another time and space, there is another more vivid example of household contract responsibility for households. When farmers obtain land again, how happy they are. In just under thirty years, farming has become a chore. A large number of fields are thrown away, and a large number of farmers would rather go to the city to do the simplest work and get the lowest salary than return to their respective hometowns.

As long as industrialization begins, traditional agriculture will quickly lose its place of residence. This is an experience of the development of human civilization. Unfortunately, no one around can understand it.

Thinking of this, Zhu Chongjiu made up his mind and suddenly made a bold decision, "Bowen, I have a few books, which are secret books of the Master. If you are interested, you might as well find time to pick them up at my house."

"The secret master's sect of the sect." Liu Bowen was stunned again when he heard this, and then his face was filled with ecstasy. He stepped forward and bowed down, "Thank you, lord, for your kindness, Bowen is crushed to pieces, and it is hard to repay you."

He never believed that Zhu Chongjiu was just a simple pig killer. His self-esteem did not allow Zhu Chongjiu to be a butcher who could not read big words. He could not write a domineering and wonderful word like "Qinyuanchun". Butcher who could not read big words could not create so many magical artifacts that were fascinating.

The only explanation is that Zhu Chongjiu once secretly worshipped a hermit like Zhang Liang and got all his knowledge. This is the answer that Liu Bowen can accept and best suits his imagination. Today, Zhu Chongjiu took the initiative to reveal the secret and was willing to share what he learned with himself, so that he could not be excited and inexplicably.

"Bowen, please get up quickly." Zhu Chongjiu held Liu Bowen with both hands and added with a smile, "These things are going to be spread sooner or later, so let's start with you first."

As he spoke, he quickly turned his head to Xu Hongsan, "You will ask the Privy Council to give Wang Kerou and Wu Yongchun the next order. From now on, if there are northern people who cross the river to escape, try to let it go. Since we, Huaiyang, are not short of food, it will be no harm to take in a few more batches of refugees."

"Yes." Xu Hongsan never questioned his lord's decision and immediately accepted the order loudly.

Liu Bowen quickly calmed down from his excitement, looked at Zhu Chongjiu from the side, and shook his head gently: "While making the northern people have no land to plant, while absorbing them to work in Huaiyang, the lord's methods are really becoming more and more wise. Could this be one of his master's unique skills? The person who can come up with such a ruthless idea is a real poisonous man. Let others do all the bad things. I will take care of myself. Compared with him, Liu's previous so-called vicious ideas are simply showing off his skills." This book was first released, and I read the genuine content at the first time!
