The Invincible Sixth Prince

At noon the next day, Jia Yao and the others set off from Gubian with a small amount of food.

As expected, Yunzheng didn't send Jiayao off.

However, when Jia Yao walked a little further, she subconsciously looked at the tower beside the wall.

On top of the city tower, a figure can be vaguely seen.

Although it was just a blurry figure, Jia Yao still concluded that it was Yun Zheng.

Yun Zheng silently looked at the figure walking away, sighing helplessly in his heart.

"Have our people been sent out?"

Yunzheng turned around and asked Miaoyin.

"Everyone has been sent out."

Miaoyin nodded slightly and asked again: "Do you think Jia Yao will rebel?"

"do not know."

Yun Zheng looked back at the direction where Jia Yao and the others were leaving, "I hope Jia Yao is smart enough, but I also have to beware of the power of hatred!"

Yunzheng was definitely worried about Jiayao.

This woman has too many thoughts.

Now Beihuan has to surrender.

But once Beihuan calmed down, she might try some tricks again.

Hopefully, Ga Yao has really figured it out!

He didn't want to kill Gayao with his own hands one day.

Miaoyin was silent, not knowing what to say for a moment.

She also didn't want Yun Zheng to kill Jia Yao with his own hands one day.

But unfortunately, many things are beyond their control.

Watching Jia Yuanyuan go, Yun Zheng quickly walked down the tower and told Tong Gang who was waiting below the tower: "Send orders to Yu Shizhong and Wang Qi to come see me immediately!"

"Yes!"

Gao Jaw immediately took the order and left.

Soon, Yu Shizhong and Wang Qi rushed over.

Yun Zheng did not waste any time with the two of them, and directly ordered: "You two immediately prepare troops and horses, escort 20,000 prisoners and food and grass to Yanhui Mountain, and build a camp on the spot! In addition, always pay attention to the movement in the direction of Qiu Chi!"

Regardless of whether the news brought by Guge is true or false, they will build a camp in Yanhui Mountain.

Only in this way can we protect the Muma grassland.

"Yes!"

The two took orders.

After explaining the two men, Yunzheng summoned the generals from Gubian to come.

The resettlement of these relocated people, as well as many of his previous ideas, are about to be implemented.

It’s time for the bloodline of infrastructure maniacs to awaken!

……

In the next few days, Yunzheng stayed in Gubian to arrange various affairs.

Until an urgent report came from Beilu Pass.

The Fuzhou defenders have made strange movements, and it is currently impossible to determine the motives of the Fuzhou defenders.

After receiving the news, Yun Zheng couldn't help but frown.

What does the court mean?

Want to break up with Shuobei?

No way?

Yunzheng thought for a while and immediately led people away from Gubian.

Back in Dingbei, before Yun Zheng could take a sip of water, Ye Zi found him and reported an extremely important news to him.

A few days ago, widespread flooding occurred in the south.

Millions of victims in the south have been displaced!

Several states rich in food in the south have suffered varying degrees of disaster.

This year, food production in the south will be significantly reduced.

Some severely affected counties may even face no harvest!

Thanks to Emperor Wen's release of Fuzhou's defense line, Zhang Xu purchased a large amount of grain from the pass to prepare wine, and their current grain inventory is relatively sufficient.

But Shuobei's population has grown a lot this year.

The population that migrated from Beihuan, the population that migrated from the Pass, plus the prisoners of Yunzheng and his companions, the population of Shuobei increased by at least 150,000.

Moreover, people are migrating from the pass one after another.

The further you get to the back, the more people there will be in Shuobei.

However, compared with previous years, the cultivated area in Shuobei has not expanded much.

If the population of Shuobei continues to increase, they are likely to face food shortages.

Currently, Ye Zi has asked Zhang Xu to stop brewing wine.

Although brewing wine can earn Shuobei a lot of money, food is the lifeblood!

"We may have to suspend the migration of people from within the customs."

Ye Zi's serious suggestion.

If the population of Shuobei continues to grow so much, and they are unable to purchase enough food from within the pass, Shuobei will face a food shortage sooner or later.

While talking, Ye Zi handed Yun Zheng the letter sent by Zhang Xu.

Zhang Xu said in the letter that at present, some grain merchants have begun to drive up grain prices.

The prices of all grains have increased significantly compared to the past.

If it is less, it will increase by 10%, if it is more, it will increase by 30%.

At present, the imperial court has begun to crack down on grain merchants' behavior of driving up grain prices, but no one knows how effective it will be.

What Zhang Xu wants is to buy a large amount of food as soon as possible and hoard it for emergencies, regardless of how much food prices rise.

Otherwise, even if they have too much money to spend in the future, they may face a situation where they have no food to buy.

Yun Zheng put down Zhang Xu's letter and thought about it silently.

Buying large amounts of grain now will definitely cost you a lot of money.

But Shuobei is not yet self-sufficient.

Moreover, after the autumn harvest, a new round of war may break out in Shuobei.

They must stock up on food!

How about being more shameless and asking the court for more points?

Yun Zheng touched his chin and thought secretly.

However, he quickly gave up this idea.

A large area of ​​the south suffered from floods, and the imperial court would definitely open official warehouses for disaster relief.

Moreover, if the tribes in Moxi get news of floods in the south of Daqian, they will most likely take the opportunity to attack!

In this way, the imperial court had to reserve military rations to guard against attacks from the Moxi tribes.

It is estimated that the imperial court does not have so much food for Shuo Bei.

It seems unrealistic to ask the court for food.

At this moment, Yunzheng suddenly understood that the changes in the defenders of Fuzhou's defense line were probably related to the fact that the imperial court wanted to be wary of the various tribes in Moxi!

It is estimated that the defenders of the Fuzhou defense line will be transferred to the northwest!

It seems that even if you spend extra money, you still have to stock up on food quickly!

If it comes to a time when you can’t even buy food even if you have money, it will be troublesome!

Yun Zheng pondered for a long time. Suddenly, Yun Zheng felt a chill in his heart. He hurriedly asked Ye Zi, "After a major disaster, is it accompanied by a major epidemic?"

"Correct!"

Ye Zi nodded lightly, "Although this statement is a bit absolute, it is true in many cases! Especially now that it is midsummer in the south, after the floods, mosquitoes, rats, and ants will become even more rampant, and the possibility of plague is relatively high."

plague!

Hearing these two words, Yun Zheng had a headache.

Although the south is not under his jurisdiction, if the south suffers a major disaster, it will have a great impact on Shuobei.

Yunzheng thought for a moment and then ordered in a deep voice: "Stop the migration of people from the pass for the time being!"

"Order people to burn a large amount of lime, purchase a large amount of medicinal materials useful for epidemic diseases, and be prepared to prevent and control the epidemic. If necessary, we can also support the customs!"

"In addition, a grain collection notice was issued. We purchased grain in Mayi at a price that is 30% higher than the market price! No matter what kind of grain, we will accept everyone who comes!"

"what?"

Ye Zi opened her mouth stupidly and looked at Yunzheng in disbelief.

She can understand everything from burning lime to purchasing medicinal materials.

But why did Yunzheng buy grain at such a high price?

The price of those grains has increased a lot, but he actually wants to purchase grains at a price that is 30% higher than the market price?

Is he really worried about how much money he has?

Besides, they don’t have much money in their hands!

They have enough food now, so there is no need to waste their little remaining money like this, right?

Seeing Ye Zi's surprised look, Yun Zheng immediately leaned into Ye Zi's ear and whispered.

Listening to Yunzheng's words, Ye Zi's eyes widened again.

After a long time, Ye Zi gradually came back to his senses.

"Are you too damaged?"

Ye Zijiao looked at Yunzheng with a smile on her face...
