Three Kingdoms: I help Liu Bei grow thousands of miles

Chapter 395 Win-win Cooperation
"What a great opportunity to make money, what a pity." Song Chen sighed again.

Yang Song just heard about Song Chen's science popularization of shortcuts to making money, and he felt itchy when he heard that the opportunity was right in front of him. Now he doesn't know how high the benefits and risks are.

"Brother Song, based on your past experience, how much can you earn if you transport some grain to Shu?" Yang Song asked carefully.

Song Chen squeezed his chin, and made up nonsense: "At this time, grain in Sichuan is more expensive than gold, and a stone of grain might be able to exchange for a hectare of land."

"Are there so many?" Yang Song asked in surprise.

"Liu Bei should be in a hurry to save Jingzhou. He has confiscated all the males and food in Sichuan. Even if there are fields and land, no one will plant them? Now many fields in Sichuan are unowned. As long as there is food, they will follow The one I picked up is the same, but I guess it won't be long before this good thing will be gone," Song Chen said worriedly.

"But why?" Yang Song asked again.

"When Liu Bei collected grain, there were definitely large households in Shu who were hoarding grain. Given the uncertain situation, they dare not take any action. When the situation stabilizes, they will buy land at a low price with grain. Sun Quan , Cao Cao's people are doing this, so the big gentry can last for a long time." Song Chen explained.

Yang Song seemed to realize something, "It seems that I was too careful before. There seems to be no difference in essence between these big households and Brother Song talking about setting up porridge sheds for disaster relief."

Song Chen nodded, "You are right, how can you make a lot of money if you are not cruel?"

"I'm also very interested in this matter. How about we find a way to transport tens of thousands of stone grains to Shu, directly replace Liu Bei's tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land, and then become a big family in Yizhou." Yang Song imagined a bright future.

Song Chen quickly shook his head: "Brother Yang's idea is very good, but it's a little unrealistic. You really dare to transport tens of thousands of stone grains into Shu, not to mention Zhang Jiaozhu (Zhang Lu) will not allow it, even if you enter Shu smoothly, you will be easily targeted. Come on, if Liu Bei's general brings troops to rob him, won't he marry someone else?"

"Brother Song is right, what do you mean?" Yang Song continued to ask for advice.

"If you really want to do this, you shouldn't move too much. It's about two or three thousand stones. The so-called boat is small and easy to turn around. If you encounter trouble, you won't lose much. After entering Sichuan, you can get a thousand hectares of fertile land for nothing. Just be safe and don't stand out." Song Chen replied.

"Although a thousand hectares of fertile land is good, it is far away in the middle of Sichuan." Yang Song hesitated suddenly.

Song Chen laughed: "Brother Yang is honesty, what's wrong with the good land in Sichuan? I'm not afraid even at the feet of the emperor. You see, the world is in such a mess, can't I come and go freely? Money is the best friend in the world. Money can turn ghosts around"

"Taught." Yang Song nodded.

Song Chen suddenly lowered his head and said in a low voice: "Xia Houyuan pacified Longyou last year. It is rumored that Cao Cao will come to attack Hanzhong this year. I think this side should not be able to resist. If we go to Yizhou early to gain a firm foothold, then the fleeing people will Wouldn't it be possible to 'relieve disasters' by flocking to Sichuan?"

Yang Song's eyes lit up when he heard it, and he thought that you are really good at making money, you see farther than others and think deeper than others, my first half of my life is considered wasted.

"Cao Cao won Hanzhong and then attacked Shu. Wouldn't our troubles be in vain?" Yang Song asked again.

Song Chen replied: "Liu Bei is now sitting in Yizhou, Jingzhou, and Jiaozhou, so he should still have some strength. If brother Yang is worried that it will be unsafe in Sichuan, we can sell the land in advance and run away, but in fact, it is often a war to make a lot of money."

Yang Song thought in his heart, good guy, you never forget about "disaster relief", the doubts in his heart were gradually unraveled, and the little flame of desire was ignited even more vigorously by Song Chen.

"How to transport grain into Shu without any risk? I want to cooperate with Brother Song and make some money." Yang Song humbly asked for leave.

Song Chen thought for a while, and then slowly said: "I can buy a few thousand shi of grain in Hanzhong, but it is difficult to think of a way to clear the guards at Yangping Pass and the trilogy of grain transportation."

Yang Song smiled slightly: "Vice General Yangpingguan is my younger brother, but how many people are needed for the grain transportation part you mentioned?"

"At least a hundred people are needed, and they need to know some martial arts. It is best to be a private part outside of Hanzhong, so as to prevent leaks." Song Chen led towards the Xiliang Army step by step. All these conditions point to There are more than a hundred people in Pound.

Yang Song frowned: "I have a suitable team here."

"Brother Yang said that." Song Chen pretended not to know.

"There are more than a hundred soldiers and horses from Xiliang stationed in the west of the city. They were originally part of the fierce general Ma Chao. When Ma Chao fled to Shuzhong, he abandoned them in Hanzhong. Now they live here. My lord hates them, and they live on gruel every day. I'm dying." Yang Song introduced.

"I think they are very suitable. At this time, helping me in a timely manner will definitely be of use to me." Song Chen was full of confidence.

Yang Song shook his head, "The chief general, Pang De, is a bit powerful. I'm afraid Brother Song won't be able to surrender, and since Ma Chao is in Yizhou now, they might leave you to protect the food in Sichuan."

"Ma Chao? Absolutely not. Ma Chao's master-servant relationship will be broken if he abandons his trilogy. Besides, Ma Chao has been transferred to Jingzhou by Liu Bei. How can he take care of both mountains and rivers?" Song Chen was extremely sure.

"That's really good news. I think Brother Song is quite good at eloquence. I will trouble you to persuade Pang De. I will manage the joints in the city and buy food." Yang Song began to assign tasks.

"Brother Yang to buy food? It's not right, it's okay, I'll come." Song Chen hurriedly stopped.

Yang Song insisted: "It's the first win-win cooperation between you and me, and Song Ye should show some sincerity. Besides, during the Chinese New Year, brother Song has no place to buy food. It's much easier for me to do it. Let's just split the profit fifty-fifty."

"I'll teach Brother Yang to handle the food, and I'll pay you twice the market price." Song Chen said proudly.

"How can we accept Brother Song's money? Since we are allies in cooperation, we naturally have to do our best, otherwise it will be difficult to share the profits." Yang Song quickly refused.

"Uh, Brother Yang puts so much effort into it, so the final profit will be between you and me." Song Chen released his big move.

"Brother Song, are you suitable?" Happiness came suddenly, and Yang Song couldn't believe his ears.

Song Chen frowned: "What's wrong with this? I mainly appreciate Brother Yang's personality. It's so late to meet you."

"I feel the same way." Yang Song almost burst into tears.

After discussing, the two continued to drink and have fun. Yang Song sent his favorite Meiji to accompany them. They drank happily until late at night.

Song Chen stayed at Yang Song's residence and found him the next morning, "Brother Yang, what happened last night counts, right? We drank a lot of wine."

"Naturally." Yang Song replied, patting his chest.

"Since Pang De's soldiers have nothing to eat all day long, I plan to buy some wine and meat to comfort them these two days, but how can we prevent the prefect Zhang from being suspicious?" Song Chen asked for advice.

Yang Song pinched the beard around his lips, and said with a smile: "Brother Song, just go after dark, I will send someone to set up a surveillance post, and keep it safe."
