Chapter 340
He had no way to say these words!
Guo Jia, Gu Yong, Cheng Yu, and others were all people of strategy!
But they also had their shortcomings!
That was that they did not know the future!
There were some things Lin Yang could not explain to them in detail!
"Zhongde, from today on, speed up the forging of iron armor and weapons!" Looking at Cheng Yu, Lin Yang also gave the order. "If there is anything missing, just tell me!"
"Zi Zhong, stop the sale of cotton-padded clothes in the direction of Yanzhou and Yuzhou for the time being. Also, contact Gongsun Du of Liaodong; try to get grain and grass, and exchange cotton-padded clothes for some warhorses from him!"
During this time, Lin Yang had already arranged for Especially Mi Zhu to go find Gongsun Du!
Compared to Gongsun Bogui, Gongsun Du of Liaodong was undoubtedly easier to talk to!
And!
Liaodong warhorses were also excellent warhorses, enough to support the Iron Pagodas!
Hearing that Yuan Gonglu, that guy, wanted to raise three thousand Iron Pagodas, Lin Yang was also preparing to expand the Iron Pagodas for Zhao Yun!
"My lord, the initial transaction in the direction of Liaodong has been completed. The first two thousand warhorses can be transported over very soon!"
As long as there was money, Especially Mi Zhu could also buy Liaodong warhorses for Lin Yang!
With money, Especially Mi Zhu was also full of confidence at this moment!
"... Hmm, two thousand is not enough; we need at least six thousand warhorses!"
Adding this to Especially Mi Zhu, Lin Yang seemed to have thought of something!
"By the way, Zi Zhong, from today on, secretly purchase grain and grass from Yuzhou and Yanzhou!"
As soon as Lin Yang's words were spoken, Cheng Yu, Especially Mi Zhu, Guo Jia, Zhou Yu, and others all widened their eyes!
Had they heard correctly!
What did Lin Yang say?
Purchase grain?
"Uh, my lord, Xuzhou and Yangzhou had a bumper harvest during the autumn harvest a while ago, and the price of grain has already fallen to thirty coins per shi!"
Especially Mi Zhu felt as if his ears had heard wrong!
Purchase grain?
Was he crazy?
The grain in their Xuzhou and Yangzhou was already so much that it was almost piling up!
Didn't he see that they were already using grain to trade with Gongsun Du of Liaodong?
"That's right, just purchase grain. Remember, purchase it secretly and stealthily; it doesn't matter if it's slow!"
Cao Mengde and Lu Fengxian, weren't they robbing his things!
Fine!
Lin Yang's revenge was always taken on the spot!
If they dared to rob, he would make these people pay the price!
"My lord, why is this?"
Guo Jia and Cheng Yu, who were to the side, couldn't help but ask!
The grain in Xuzhou and Yangzhou was already cheap to the extreme!
But the grain in Yuzhou and Yanzhou was not cheap at all!
Grain in Yuzhou was one hundred coins per shi, and grain in Yanzhou was even more expensive, at one hundred and ten coins per shi!
They were leaving the cheap grain unused!
To purchase more expensive grain?
No matter how one looked at it, it was not right!
"You just proceed according to my plan for now. It shouldn't be long before you know the reason!"
Looking at the sky, Lin Yang did not say it directly!
For some things, it was better to wait until they happened before saying them!
Lin Yang being like this, for a time, although everyone was suspicious in their hearts, they could only nod silently!
And Guo Jia, Zhou Yu, and others all looked at each other!
Purchase grain!
This kind of action could only happen in a few scenarios!
In summary, it was either a natural disaster or a man-made disaster!
As for natural disasters, Zhou Yu and Guo Jia both directly vetoed it!
There wasn't even a shadow of a natural disaster!
Unless Lin Yang had foresight!
Could it be that Lin Yang was going to send troops to attack Yuzhou and Yanzhou?
Thinking of Lin Yang's previous expansion of troops, both of them felt their hearts sink!
The direction of Lin Yang's troop mobilization was a bit wrong, wasn't it!
Leaving the two commanderies of Qingzhou and Yangzhou unattacked!
And now engaging in battle with Yuan Gonglu?
Suspicious in their hearts, but since Lin Yang didn't say anything, they didn't open their mouths to ask!
During the following period, with Lin Yang sitting in Xuzhou, everything was proceeding in an orderly manner!
In the several months of the fourth year of Chuping, except for the battle between Yuan Benchu and Gongsun Bogui which was still ongoing, there were no wars in the direction of other warlords!
In Xuzhou, where Lin Yang was stationed, except for a few small frictions with Lu Bu at the border, no major conflicts occurred!
Taking advantage of this rare time of rest, Lin Yang also formally invited many noble clans from Xuzhou and Yangzhou to Xuzhou City to marry Cai Wenji!
The news of Lin Yang marrying the great Confucian of the time also quickly spread throughout the world, becoming a beautiful story!
Yanzhou, Chen Liu
"This Lin Ziyuan really knows how to enjoy himself!"
Cao Mengde stood on the city wall of Chen Liu, looking at the news of Lin Yang marrying Cai Wenji, and couldn't help but sigh!
It was said that Cai Wenji was a beauty of peerless elegance and also possessed an aura of scholarly fragrance, making her exceptionally lovely!
Cao Mengde hadn't felt anything before, but now that the other party had become someone else's wife!
Cao Mengde immediately felt something!
"My lord, this Lin Ziyuan combining with the family of a great Confucian, his own reputation..."
"Boom!"
Xi Zhicai, who was speaking to the side, suddenly felt a sense of earth-shaking movement!
A huge roaring sound came from the heaven and earth in the distance, as if a giant dragon were roaring!
In an instant, Cao Mengde, Xi Zhicai, and others looked at each other, all seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes!
"This, this is the earth dragon turning over!"
Xi Zhicai said, his heart suddenly thumping, sensing that something was wrong!
Fourth year of Chuping, early July, Xuzhou City
Lin Yang, who was enjoying the blessings of having both wives, was completely awakened by the report from his subordinates!
"Report, my lord, there is an earthquake in Guanzhong, and a locust plague has appeared in the Central Plains!"
