Ou Zhenming really got more and more angry as he thought about it. This time he was in a serious situation...
Not only will Xu Yin be embarrassed in front of him, but also, after this matter gets out, he will probably become the laughing stock of everyone.
"Master, I think this method is very simple. Otherwise, we can promote it after we return to China..."
Fang BuTong said in a low voice.
"Promotion? Promotion is nothing! Don't you still think this young master is not embarrassed enough?"
Before Fang BuTong finished speaking, Ou Zhenming was so angry that he smashed the jar in front of him.
"this……"
The flattery hit the horse's leg, which made Fang BuTong feel embarrassed for a while.
Fortunately, Ou Zhenming had no intention of continuing to pursue the matter. Now he could see that Liu Deng had stabilized his steps.
They are no longer qualified to use Liu Deng's tactics in such unflattering ways.
"Young Master, you don't believe me. I can't do anything to him? Send me an order to mobilize thirty warships. If you see a fishing boat coming and going around here, just ram it and sink it!"
Ou Zhenming gritted his teeth and planned to attack directly.
"But Master, if we do this, once someone finds out, I'm afraid it will cause a war between the two countries!"
Fang BuTong was immediately startled and knelt directly in front of Ou Zhenming.
He knew the temper of his second young master, who had always been the one who told the truth in the entire Dongou Kingdom.
But if he really does what the Second Young Master said, he may soon arouse the wrath of the Han court.
If the Han army were to go south, Dongou would inevitably lose its troops and generals.
At this time, they are busy making money from maritime trade, and everyone in the country is focused on making copper coins.
If a war is provoked at this time, no matter how much King Dongou dotes on his younger brother, he may have to deal with him in tears.
"Let's start a war. Is it possible that this young master is still afraid of him?"
Ou Zhenming is furious now, so naturally he won't have any scruples.
It's different if the party is different. The 800,000 rebels were defeated by the Han army. Now, if you provoke the Han Dynasty at this time, isn't that asking for death?
In desperation, he could only persuade him hard from the side, but Liu Deng didn't know this and was busy exchanging food for the people.
Originally, Liu Deng was still worried about whether the 20,000 shi of grain shipped this time would be enough.
But he didn't expect that since he announced all the orders, the food consumption rate was actually not as much as he imagined.
Those shrewd workshop owners exchanged enough grain for their men to eat for a month.
Most of them chose to settle with copper coins. After all, most of them were the family members of Liu Deng's personal guards.
Only a very small number of people are wealthy households in other cities. The families of these soldiers were deeply impressed by Liu Deng's dramatic tricks when he was frying salt in Jinyang City.
Since Liu Deng has already said that there will be two food shipments every month, then there must be two.
In addition to exchanging some grain for the convenience of themselves and the farmers they employ.
It is more convenient to hold copper coins in your hand. After all, this food is really heavy.
If we could buy food every month, wouldn't we be afraid of moths if we store so much food at home?
The only people who really exchanged all the money for food were the wealthy households who were not local to the city.
Liu Deng didn't stop him, nor did he mean to persuade them. Anyway, they could exchange it for whatever they wanted. Even if Liu Deng would suffer some losses if he exchanged it for food, he didn't care.
After all, everyone in the city is starving.
Moreover, it is estimated that some people will plan to exchange food from here and sell it to several other cities.
Regarding this point, Liu Deng had already made detailed plans before.
After they exchange the grain from here today, a notice strictly prohibiting the flow of grain out of the city will be issued soon.
At this time, Liu Deng no longer cares whether he is selfish or not.
After all, there is actually a lot of food in Jinyang City, and now he can only take care of the people under his rule.
As for other places, it can only be left to the court to solve specific problems.
Even though he is playing so arrogantly here, the food he can actually use is still very limited.
Tao Qing has been making small moves since he took over as the Prime Minister.
Seeing that Jinyang's officialdom was so determined that water could not be poured in or a knife could be inserted, he actually came up with a new idea and united with a group of outsiders to control the food supply of the entire Jinyang City.
If it weren't for Liu Deng's great satisfaction with this year's harvest in the Hutuo River Valley, Liu Deng would probably no longer be in the mood to hang out here at this time.
After being beaten by Chen Qi, Zou Yang directly built warehouses in the Hutuo River Valley.
All the harvested grain, except for breeding and replanting, was piled in the warehouse, and not a pound of sweet potatoes was leaked out.
Liu Deng really didn't have any good impression of Tao Qing.
However, if he wanted to kill this old guy legitimately, he also needed a legitimate excuse.
That is, the forces behind him are being investigated by Ye Yijian, but so far there are no results.
Therefore, Liu Deng has been very tolerant to him and has not touched him until now.
Now we can take advantage of the construction work in Buqicheng to further gradually transfer the grain from Jinyang's official warehouse here.
As the saying goes, if God wants to destroy something, it must first make it crazy.
Liu Deng is now waiting for this guy Tao Qing to show his claws, and then catch him all in one fell swoop.
The grain stored here will eventually be transported back to Jinyang, although some may be consumed along the way.
However, compared to the temptation that can eliminate Tao Qing, a hidden political danger, consuming a little food is really nothing!
It was not until the evening that the exchange work on Liu Deng's side was almost completed.
Looking at the tens of thousands of jars neatly arranged in the warehouse, and listening to the laughter of the people in the city, Liu Deng suddenly felt like singing a song that he had not seen for a long time.
"I was watching the mountain scenery from the city tower, and I heard a commotion outside the city, with flags fluttering and flying in the air, but it was the soldiers sent by Sima..."
Liu Deng was in a very relaxed mood as he sang a ditty in a wild tune.
After returning to the station, I even ate an extra bowl of white rice.
But after eating, Liu Deng came to his study again and began to sort out the plan he would implement next.
It's time for Zhao Wengu to step back, and she still has to leave the next thing to her.
However, what I want to do this time is indeed a bit unethical. I wonder if Xiao Nizi will be soft-hearted then...
