Chapter 1831 Analysis of the Renzi Juan Details Plan and Agreed Position
details make a difference.

In the war between the North and the South, it is not just the simple superficial power balance of the army that determines the outcome. It can even be said that the performance on the battlefield is more hidden in such details.

As businessmen, they are more concerned about prices. In their view, the various prices they are most familiar with often better reflect the resilience and support ability of a regime.

This exchange of information on the situation lasted for nearly an hour, and it was inevitable that each other would discuss and analyze the situation they had learned, and put forward their own opinions.

Weng Qiyang felt that it was almost done, so he coughed lightly, and everyone fell silent.

"That's the situation. I guess everyone already knows it. If it's just a sale by the imperial court, there's no need for you and me to go to war. In fact, we just came to see the court's performance..."

Weng Qiyang knew that if he didn't speak up, these people would definitely not take the initiative to speak out. This is not only a status of the Weng family, but also a responsibility and pressure.

"As far as the current situation is concerned, I think the performance of the imperial court seems to be better than that of Nanjing..." Weng Qiyang said lightly: "There may be many unsatisfactory things, but it is only these hundreds of thousands of refugees who have entered the capital. In the current situation where the city can provide food and shelter in an orderly manner, it is not easy to let refugees enter the city. If you don’t have a little bit of confidence, you probably don’t dare. I think Nanjing may not have the ability to encounter such a situation. courage?"

"Mr. Weng, but the price of capital in the capital is high, which has exceeded our expectations, especially the price of grain..." Du Sanbao hesitated for a moment before he said.

"It's true that food prices are high, but if it's beyond our expectations, I don't think so. It depends on the price, but I think the key is to see if it can be controlled. This is the key..." Weng Qiyang Looks pretty sure.

"I specifically asked people to check the grain prices from July last year to the present. Compared with the grain prices at this time last year, the increase was indeed fierce at first, but after the sharp rise after the fall of Tiewangshan last year, Soon the rising trend slowed down. Of course, the rising trend must still be rising. The severe drought in the north and the interruption of water transportation, if these two factors are still not rising, then our Jiangnan will not be Jiangnan,..."

Everyone laughed, this is their background, the goods flow from north to south, the business circulation of this great week is supported by these merchants, especially the transportation of grain from south to north.

"Food prices are rising, but the rate of increase has fallen, and there are even ups and downs. Of course, the overall trend is still rising, but how much grain is stored in Dingzigu and Yuguan? Do we know? Probably know, but do the common people know? ? I don’t know, but they think that Dingzigu and Yuguan have enough food. Haven’t they seen that “Today’s News” has been saying that all day long? The trust of the people in Beijing and China is even stronger than that of the imperial court newspaper. ..."

Su Zhengxian picked up Weng Qiyang's words, "Your Weng is right, if the people in Beijing think that there is no danger of food, they will not rush to buy it, and as long as this trend does not rise, the price of food will be controllable. The issue of shipping was not mentioned, the imperial court and this "Today's News" seem to have some tacit understanding."

"Haiyun is the imperial court's backer. This is also to prevent other accidents. This hand can be used to stabilize the public's mood in an emergency..." He Tingfa said softly, "I reckon that the imperial court probably has other backhands. It seems that they have a plan in mind. ah."

"Not necessarily." Du Sanbao shook his head: "How long can the people in central Beijing support such a high rise? Can they last until the end of the year? This year the Northland will have a bumper harvest? The land will continue to dry up."

"But it is enough for the imperial court to conquer Jiangnan before the end of the year." He Tingfa retorted.

"But can the imperial court do it?" Du Sanbao shook his head, "Shandong is so big, Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu gather the elite army of the Xuanfu Datong, and there are canals available, so the transportation of supplies is very convenient. The imperial court can easily defeat them? I'm afraid that the court will be unsustainable. You don't think Niu Jizong and Sun Shaozu can't last for a few months, do you? And there is Huaiyang Town as the backing. That's not to mention how the court will deal with Huguang if Wang Ziteng goes north? Will the Jurchens and Mongols outside the pass ignore this opportunity?"

These words made everyone present a little shaken.

The imperial court is surrounded by enemies. Once these enemies unite, Nanjing only needs to adopt a delaying strategy to drag down the imperial court. The sea transportation can help for a while, but it cannot last for a long time, at least not yet.

Will these enemies unite?

Certainly, even if there is no contact between them, this kind of tacit understanding will allow them to act quickly. If the court wants to defeat Nanjing, it will not be able to end the war in three to five months, which is enough for the surrounding enemies to act Woke up.

It has to be said that Du Sanbao's views are still very realistic. Unless the imperial court completely crushes Nanjing overnight, if it drags on and the surrounding enemies unite to launch an attack, will the imperial court lose sight of one another, or even fall into crisis?

"Actually, it doesn't matter if we can't win Jiangnan by the end of the year, as long as we can win Shandong." Su Zhengxian said slowly.

"Brother Zhengxian, why do you say that?" Du Sanbao asked in puzzlement, "Could Shandong be able to supply the needs of Gyeonggi?"

"Shandong certainly can't meet the needs of Gyeonggi, but at least it can relieve the pressure on Gyeonggi to a certain extent, and water transportation can go directly to Jining and even Xuzhou!" Su Zhengxian replied: "This is still an unstoppable channel without counting the sea transportation." , it’s just not as effective as water transport.”

"Xuzhou?" Everyone was puzzled.

"Chen Jixian is at both ends of the spectrum. Once the imperial court wins Shandong, who can tell what Chen Jixian's attitude will be? Even if he doesn't immediately surrender to the imperial court, at least he will secretly communicate with the imperial court. Maybe he is secretly communicating with the imperial court now. Where is the song?" Su Zhengxian curled his lips, this is the rumored news brought by Gu Dengfeng, "If Chen Jixian's attitude is ambiguous, brother Tingfa, Yangzhou and Huai'an dare to sever ties with Xuzhou?"

He Tingfa shook his head, "That's impossible, unless Nanjing sends a large army to Pizhou. Even then, the effect will not be good, and it may even cause Chen Jixian to take the lead in sending troops to the south of the Yangtze River."

"Since that's the case, then what are we worried about?" Weng Qiyang made a final decision, "Based on what we have observed and understood now, it is impossible for the imperial court to last for a year, and even if foreign enemies join forces, such as the Mongols and the Jurchens, they will be defeated. In Liaodong, the prince sent his troops out of Henan, so what? The court still has Liaodong Town, so it can’t last a year? If Shandong is resolved in a year, Jiangnan will not be able to survive at all. I'm afraid it will be determined by the preaching."

Du Sanbao hesitated for a moment, "Nanjing can't just sit and watch the imperial court win Shandong without making any moves?"

"What action can Nanjing take?" Su Zhengxian sneered and asked back: "Those soldiers in the Jiangnan Guard Station, you don't know the three guarantees, do you?"

Everyone laughed lightly.

Indeed, the situation of the army in the Jiangnan Guards is well known, it is unbearable to fight a battle, a few years ago hundreds of Japanese pirates were able to run wild in the southern Zhili prefectures, it is difficult to control, it is a shame to say.

"You can't say that. If Wang Ziteng's Denglai army is free to defend the southern Zhili, it may be delayed for a while, but once Shandong is lost, the Xuanfu army and the Datong army are defeated, and the imperial court can take the initiative. If the people's will and the wind change, Nanjing will soon recover."

Weng Qiyang's words were very pertinent, including Du Sanbao, who was most worried, and He Tingfa, who was still a little hesitant, all had to nod.

"Besides, we are just evaluating and analyzing now, not to say that we must stand on which side. We are businessmen, and we should do our own thing well. Which side we lean towards is our own business. If we It’s like coming to the capital, take a walk, take a look, and buy something that meets our needs, what’s the point?” Weng Qiyang said more and more indifferently, “Even other people’s buying houses and land doesn’t seem to have much to do with us, isn’t it? Is it?"

Everyone smiled and nodded.

"Okay, everyone has been talking for so long, and everyone's heart is open. Nothing happened, and there is no attitude. It is still the same as before. Just be more careful..." Weng Qiyang clapped his hands and stood up , "Everyone, go back earlier."

This round of sales will be postponed to mid-January. The Ministry of Finance is very worried about this and is quite pessimistic about whether it can achieve the goal, but Feng Ziying is confident.

There are more than 120 mansions and manors, there are many, and there are not many. It is definitely impossible to rely on the purchasing power of the capital alone, but if you call all the merchants in Jiangnan, it will not be enough.

Moreover, this round of sales has greatly discounted the base price, and buyers who participate in the bidding are welcome to inspect in advance.

Compared with the case of Jingtong Ercang, which was dominated by various antiques, this round is mainly mansions and farms, which account for the majority. Therefore, these mansions and farms do not need any experts, just anyone who walks around, Just ask, and you can get a general idea.

"I told the Ministry of Household Affairs that I plan to buy the house of Rongning Second Mansion." Feng Ziying sat by the bed, soaking her feet in hot water, and next to her were Baochai, Baoqin, and Yingchun. Er and Lingguan rubbed Feng Ziying's feet, while Siqi beat his back beside him.

"Ah?" Although they had been mentally prepared, Baochai, Baoqin and Yingchun were still a little shocked when Feng Ziying brought up the matter solemnly, "Sir, will there be any trouble?"

"What's the problem? Mr. Huang is still looking forward to begging someone to buy it. The location of the Rongning Second Mansion is too far away, far behind the big and small Yongfang, Anfufang, Mingyufang, Jiqingfang, Nanxunfang, and Baoda. Fang, Qingqingfang, and Renshoufang have good locations, and the area is too large, and there are many illegal things, and the cost of renovation is not small. There are few people who have seen it a while ago. I heard that there are only two or three families in it. If someone cares about it, it will be uncomfortable if it really falls into the hands of the household department." Feng Ziying looked careless.
